our City Fathers in cleaning the mud from the
sidewalks, and arc arc confident that pedestrians
will not fall to praise such an expenditure. In
.the spring time our street crossings arc little bet

entirely too general.

LUCKY ESCAPE.-A vagrant walking on the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, between Hamilton street
and the depot, on Saturday evening, was bit by
the engine drawing the 7:10 train and thrown with
some violence from the track. Strange to say he
sustained no Injury save a little headache from
which he complained afterwards.

they expected.
ESCAPE FROM ACCIDENT. —The evening
passenger train for Harrisburg made a fortunate

mass of rock, of several tons bulk, had rolled
upon the track, in one of the cuts, and a colored
man perceiving this fait reported It at Harrisburg.
A message was then sent to the conductor of the
approaching train at Hummelstown, and the ob
struml in was avoided by taking the otbertrack.—

MORE , ATTEMPTS AT INCENDIARISM.—The
detection of the Knausses and young Kuhns, and
their prompt arrest and consignment to Jail, had
put an end to incendiary tires for some time, but
the wholesome lesson inimlnlstered appears to
hare already lost Its abet. On Thursday night
a party was discovered in the act of lighting a
match to fire the stable of George Fry, in the rear
of hit house on Union Street, corner of Penn.
The fellow, unfortunately, succeeded iu making
his escape. We understand an attempt was also
made to lire a carpenter shop In the western part
of the city.
NEw ConnTy.—The bill creating the new
county of Lackawanna on Thursday passed the
Senate, and having previously passed the House,
It now awaits the Governor's signature. This it
will no doubt receive, and then the people of the
county will have en opportunity of expressing
their opinion on the subject of cutting a piece from
old Luzerne and giving it a new name. The voters
of the entire county—and not the communities
that are only Immediately Interested—will be
called to vote upon the question.—Scranton Ra

THE CENTUAL EXPRESS IZODllliltY.—The
Easton Express says ou Thursday afternoon a
number of express money-envelopes were found
on Phillipsburg hill, back of Union Square hotel,
by some little girls who were playing there. They
were shown to Mr. Jacob Keller, who, supposing
the wrappers to be those of the money paCkages
recently 'stolen front the express company, at the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Depot, at once notified
Mr. Brown, time express company's agent In Eas
ton, of the discovery. This gentleman, accompa
nied by others, made a thorough search of the hill
this morning and succeeded in finding a number
of other tyrappers and papers (24 in all) snugly
hid In a fenze corner. The envelopes were 'recog
nized as being the same as those stolen at the Val
ley Depot. Among the papers were found a num
ber of cheeks and blank orders on the Wilkesbarre
Coal and Mining Company, signed and endorsed
by the President of the Company. .1t Is evident
that the money bad been abstracted at some other
place, and nil the envelopes deposited In the fence
corner nt one time, for the reason that every one
mitered on the way-bills was found.
INIMIOVILNIENT IN CARRIAGE GEARING
The necessity of some mode of improved carriage
gearing has long been felt by coach and carriage
builders. The perch gearing Is expensive and
doe's not answer for all kinds of coaches or car
riages, as, fur Instance, In bent bodies or long
running gears, or when the front wheels should'
run under the body, ns In city carriages or ex
press and freight wagons where short turning
required. Hence the platform carriages or
wagons are gaining great favor with the public,
where there is no perch required, and of course
none In the way of the front wheels for making
short turns. Uut the platforms gearing requires
skilled labor, and a good deal of It, which makes
It costly, and heckles, It is very heavy and liable
to get out of order, and not suitable for light' one
horse buggies:
Mr. Cornelius Custer, of Norristown, has Im
vented a gearing, first patented March 17, 1870.
and again February, ii, 1871, tt'hich we think wit',
create it revolution in this part of carriage blind
lug, as it is very simple of construction and has
no machinery about it. There is nothing liable
to get out of order, It is easily attached to any
kind of carriage or wagon, will cost the builder
but a trifle, and answer all the purposes that a
platform gearing will, requires 'only about one-•
eighth of the iron as a platform carriage and not
one-fourth the labor, and very little mechanical
skill for adjusting. In light one-seated earring
or buggies It will give the front axle the same
(low) shape and appearance as that of the hind
axle, makes it look touch .neater and is much
lighter. As it r, quires uo perch, no head-block,
dud no fifth wheel, buggies can be made with a
great deal less cost and Nonni , as. strong and
durable, and they will appear to much better ad
vantage. In two or three seated carriages It is
preferable to a perch or platform gearing, as it
trill he much lighter and give the carriage Just as
much freedom of action in every conceivable way,
with as much strength and much less cost, and
greatly Improve the appearance.
In express or heavy freight wagons it will be a
great advantage to the builders, as the platform
gearing is very heavy and costly for such wagons,
mat require a good mechanic to do the work. We
alien speak s n ore fully of this Invention In the
future, wheb it Is introduced to the attention of
carriage builders.

How JUDOE CONYNOIIAM OF WILKESIIAEILE I
WAS KILLED.—Judgo Conynghem, when he or-
rived at Magnolia, In company with his son Wil•
liam and a traveling companion, an old gentle
men from Pittsburgh, who was also on his way to
New Orleans, got out at the station to take tea'
about nine o'clock In the evening. While the
parties were engaged at tea, it seems the train
they had must alighted from moved down the road,
making room for another that wasitust coming in.
After tea, the Judge, with the old gentlemou from
Pittsburgh, and his son, walked across the plat
form towards the train . . Judge Conynghatn and
the old gentleman stepped on the train that had
just come in and turned to the left and entered the
coach. William, his son, also stepped on the
train, turned to the right and entered, when be
discovered he was in a sleeping car. Knowing
that there was no sleeping car on the train that
they had just left, he immediately retraced his
steps, and Informed his father that they ivere ou I
the wrong train, whereupon some employe of the
company Inquired, " Which way 'are you going 1" I
Judge Conyughem answered," To New Orleans." I
The employe said " All right ; this train Is gok g
to New Oilcans." The son responded," We have
not got tickets for this train, we - will get oil." By
thin time the train commenced met Fog slowly, and,!
the Judge's sou stepped off on mu platform a little
higher than the road. Judge Conyngham then
assisted the old gentleman In getting off. Ile im
mediately fell out from the train, and was o u t in-
Jared ; Judge Conyngham then seized the Iron
railing of the car at the end, stepped down, and
immediately upon his feet touching the ground he
lost control of his foothold, but yet held on with
both hands to the iron railing. At last he let go
and full on the platform. The lower part of his
limbs remaining on the rail, when the wheels hn.
Mediately passed over and crushed him. The
Judge's son and several parties ran to his assis-,
sone, and proceeded to help him up, but he in
formed.them that he was not injured and would
get up himself.. Ile repeated these words two or
three times, and thanked, the parties for their kW
nese. On attempting to arise, he discovered his
injury, and was then lifted and carried from the
platform to the hotel, and the hest medical aid im
mediately sent (or. After the doctors arrived they
informed him he must lose both legs. Ile con
sented to have them amputated, If It were ahso
lately necessary. A Southern 111:111 with a wooden
leg, just thdn coming up to where he was lying on
the crouch, the Judge remarked to him, " Too are
not as bad off as I will be ; you have only one
stump, but will have two." Thu phy,lelans
gave the Judge stimulants, but finding that no re
action set in, they concluded to lnJe3 morphine
under the skin. This they did, and while under
its Influence, the Judge, died from congestion of
the bralo, brought on by the Injury received.
Judge Conyugham's eon reports that the greatest
kindness was shown to his father, and every hos
pitality extended toward them while at the btatlon.
The ladles of the town came from. all parts to
minister to him, and after he died, had his body
laid out benntlfolly decked with flowers.
