Cutting a Man's Throat to Save His Life.
The Harrisburg Telegraph says : The
necessity of prompt action in an emer
gency when one is confronted by sudden
danger was never so forcibly illustrated
as in this city yesterday. From a gen
tleman who witnessed the affair .we
learned the following facts : Dr. Eckart
of Rockvllle and a lady were driving up
Third Street about 1 o'clock on the way
home. When near Pine St., Dr. Eckart
was suddenly seized with a fit of an
exceedingly violent nature. Hie strug
gles greatly alarmed bis lady companion ,
and she called loudly for help. Seeing
Dr. II. L. Stickel on the pavement she
called him , and the Doctot promptly re
sponded, assisting to lift the now uncon
scious man out of the carriage to the
pavement. Dr. Strlckel turned the
sufferer on his face that the substance
- which was choking him might flow
': from his throat but it did no good. He
then tried to expel it with his finger,
and was equally unsuccessful. By this
time Dr. Eckart had grown black in the
face and his pulse had almost stopped.
It was a case of life or death, and unless
prompt and heroic measures were taken
the man could live but a few minutes at
the farthest. Whipping out his penknife
Dr. Strickel pluged it into the epileptic's
throat, cutting a small incision, through
which the air rushed. The man began
to recover immediately, and in a short
time wag able to be removed to Dr.
Seller's office, where he recovered suffi
ciently to be taken home. Dr. Eckart
stated that this is the first attack of epl
lepsey he has had in two years. It was
certainly a narrow escape for him, and
no man could tread much closer to the
confines of the other world and come
back to life again. Dr. Strlckel's pres
ence of mind and promptness saved his
fallow-practitioner.
Villainous Tricks on a Farmer.
The Huntingdon Globe says that Jesse
Curfman, Esq., of Cass township, an
hid and respectable farmer, has a thriv
ing you n apple orchard on his farm
about one mile and a quarter west of
CassviUe. Some fiend in human shape
paid it a visit lately in the darkness of
the night, and with a sharp knife peeled
the bark from the body of eight or ten
of his most beautiful and prosperous
trees. If the trees do not die it will be
by a timely discovery and the best of
doctoring that will save them. It was
. "certainly the object of the scamp to
destroy ine wees, ana ir be has not suo-

fulled to work, owing to the wet, and
the rear locomotive crashed into the last
car of the first section, telescoping it
and causing a fearful wreck. As the
locomotive forced Its way into the car
the. cylinder heads were forced open,
and a cloud of steam poured through
the car, scalding nearly every passenger
in it. In an instant there was a scene
of fearful excitement. The sound of the
hissing steam and shrieks of the terri
fied passengers were blended and carried
through the cars, striking terror to the
hearts of all.
Since the above was in type sixteen
more persons nave died from injuries received.
Why They Moved.
A party of young men went from
New York, recently, to the wilds of
Potter ounty, this Btate, to enjoy a
season of camping out. They erected
their tent, made a fire in front of It to
keep away the mosquitoes, and lay
down for the night to sleep. Being
awakened in the night by an unusual
noise, one of the young men looked out
of the tent, and saw the fire surrounded
by rattlesnakes. The party took their
clubs, sallied forth and attacked the
rattling intruders, killing twenty-six of
them, whose united length was seventy
eight feet. It is scarcely necessary to
say that their first work in the morning
was to "fold their tent like the Arab
and silently steal away" from that par
llcular locality.
A Terrible Fall.
James P. Wills, a painter, while en
gaged in painting the roof of the Globe
Hotel, Altoona, met with a frightful
death Wednesday morning. After fin
ishing his work he, in a playful, not to
suy foolhardy, manner began Jumping
from the roof of the main building to
the roof of another wing running par
allel with it, between which there Is an
intervening space of about five feet. He
had successfully accomplished the feat
twice, against which his employer, Mr.
J. H. Bergstresser, who is also Wills'
brother-in-law, Btrongly remonstrated,
but he was deaf to all advice and warn
ing, and remarked that be was not at all
afraid of the undertaking. On the third
attempt he slipped on the comb roofing
of the western wing, and fell a distance
of fifty-four feet, striking on the plank
flooring between the two buildings. His
head was shockingly crushed in, and he
expired almost instantly. Tribune.
A High Toned Chap,
In the Henrico county, Va., Court,
last week. J. W. Hoenningcr, who bad
Just been summoned as a Juror to try the
case of horse stealing, upon going to the
clerk's desk to be sworn In y refused to
serve because there was a negro on the
jury. The Judge thereupon ordered a
fine of $-50 to be imposed upon Hoenn
inger, with ten days' imprisonment in
jail for contempt. Hoenninger subse
quently purged himself of contempt, and
consented to serve, and his punishment
was remitted.
A Heavy Robbery.
Utica, N. Y., August 0. Henry
Schuler, a representative of Noah
Mitchell, of New York, came to Utica
last Friday with a stock of diamonds.
He left Baggs' hotel at 4 o'clock yester
day afternoon and returned at 11 last
evening. This morning he discovered
that during his absence he had been
robbed of diamonds valued at $15,000.
There Is no clue to the thieves.
Business Rivalry Causes a Murder.
Stevens Point, Wis., August 11. A
despatch from Warsaw, Wis., says : Dr.
Edward L. Hazle was shot here last
night by Dr. Bennett. Dr. Hazle had
only recently come to Warsaw to prac
tice his profession. The jealousy of Dr.
Bennett, the resident dentist, was arous
ed, and last evening while intoxicated
he procured a shot gun and went to a
hotel where Hazle was and fired at the
the latter, killing him instantly.

the bull of the burning vessel, Nictaux,
still at large, floated against the pier occu
pied by the American Export Lumber Co.,
at Hunter's Point. The premises occupied
by the company occupies both sides of

unloading there a large number of vessels.

the fire spread to the vessels, and notwith
standing the efforts made by several tugs,
which hastened to their assistance, six
barges, one schooner and one ship were

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, August 11, 1880.
Year by year this city, as the Capital of a
great and growing country, becomes of more
and more importance. To say nothing of the
great increase of population and wealth as an
immediate consequence of the war, there are
boards and Commissions of scientific, business,
and other character created at every session,
with headquarters here. These indirectly add
to oar permanent population and prosperity.
The mis-named " Congressional Library" It
should be the ' -Library of the United States"
also, and for a similar reason, brings ns very
many receipts. Most of this gain Is due to the
fact that Washington is the capltol of the
country, but our excellent climate and the
unsurpassed location of the city, have their
favorable influence also. I expect to see
Washington, in the next twenty years, a city
as much in advance of Its present condition as
it now is of what it was prior to the war, and
that will make it, beyond question, the first
city on earth,
One interesting question was decided yester
day by the first Comptroller of the Treasury.
A U. 8. draft, sent out to an attorney In Ten
nessee, had boen taken from the attorney
nnder order from the Btate Court, the intention
being to secure its endorsement and payment
by others than the owner or attorney. The
decision of the Comptroller is that only the
owner or bis duly authorized attorney can cash
the draft. If the original owner the party In
whose came It drawn, has died, or otherwise
become Incapable of acting, the papers must
be returned to the U. 8. Treasury, and a new
claim made to the proper representatives, and
a new draft Issued.
The conundrum why Bonator Conkllng staid
away from the New York Republican confer
ence has not yet been solved. One report has
It that ht absented himself because of Gar
field's Inability to carry out a contract to dis
place Merrltt from the Custom House. On
the other hand, It has been hinted that Conk
llng absented himself as a matter of policy, In
ordor to do away with the Idea that there was
any dickering on band between him and Gar
field,)' Gonial Arthur Is authority for the
assurance that In two or three weeks from this
time there will be no occasion to complain
that lbs campaign Is languishing In New
York, nor that Senator Conkllng Is continuing
his police of masterly Inactivity.
At Boston's coming two hundred and fiftieth
anniversary It Is eipected that both Hancock
and Garfield will be present, and It is a part of
the prog ra me that they shall ride In a barouche
together In the great procession. They will
make a good looking pair.
