BRUTE KILLS INFANT.
Commits the Fiendish Assault In
Mother's Absence.
McKeesport, Pa., June 3. Five thou
sand men are clamoring about the city
prison for the release of Benjamin Fet
ty, alias Watton, arrested this morn
ing for an assault on the three-year-old
daughter of Thomas Sullivan, of
No. 225 Martin street. The baby is in
a dying condition.
About 10 o'clock this morning Mrs.
Sullivan went. to the store and left the
baby in charge of her two little boys.
Shortly after she left Fetty went to the
house and gave the boys five cents with
which to go and buy candy.
When they left he carried the baby
back into the kitchen and accomplish
ed his fiendish crime. The children re
turned and found the baby unconsci
ous. Neighbors started in pursuit of
Fetty, who ran up the Pennsylvania
Railroad track and hid in a box car,
from which he was dragged by the
train crew, who attempted to throw
him under the wheels of their loco
motive. The police had a desperate fight
with the mob, but Fetty was finally
landed in the patrol wagon and hurried
to the central station with a howling
crowd in pursuit.
All day long a crowd hung about the
station. After the mills closed at 0
o'clock, the crowds increased to thou
sands. All. the members of the police
force are guarding the city prison. The
fire department was ordered to lend
assistance, but the men refused, saying
they believe death is the only proper
punishment for Fetty. Mayor Black at
10 o'clock made a speech to the mob.in-
forming them that the first man who
attempts to enter the prison will be
shot. Privately, Mayor Black stated
that if it were his child he would kill
the first man who stood in his way to
the cell where Fetty is confined. Sev
eral of the police announce that if it
comes to fighting or resigning they will
quit the force.
Fetty, who is 28 years old, has been
identified as the man who terribly as
saulted three little girls in Homestead
a couple of weeks ago, Tlie prisoner is
utterly unconcerned.

A BENEVOLENT DESPOT.
Does the Country Need More of
the Same Sort of Persons?
New York .Tribune.
Bishop William L. Derrick, of the
African Methodist Episcopal church,
is a sage and a philosopher. He has just
been prsiding over a church confer
ence of Brooklyn. He rules his flock
with patriarchal authority which some
other religious organization might term
despotic, but with a good sense which
some others would greatly profit by.
Anybody who has become accustomed
to the too common habit of church
committee and conventions of launch
ing anathemas against persons who
believe that, an army canteen is a
good thing rather than a bad thing,
or who argue that an exposition ground
is better open than closed on Sunday,
or who take a different view from them
on the moral questions Involved in any
public policy, will rejoice at the meas
ure of the saving grace, of humor and
common sense which Bishop Derrick
brings to the rescue of a race whose
wrongs might not unnaturally move
them to loud protests and denuncia
tions whenever occasion offered.
The conference has a committee on
the state of the country It looked over
the oountry and saw many things
amiss, including the condition, of the
negroes in South Carolina, but Bishop
Derrick said: "Let Tillman alone.
He's too bad to be noticed, and all you
might say would only recoil on your-
K selves." That was all well enough
for the bishop, but the committee had
a report to make, and didn't like to be
deprived of all to good material. So
the chairman objected, and asked if he
wanted a blank piece of paper for a re
port, and the bishop answered: "Yes!
A blan,k piece of paper is a good deal
better than than a lot of inflamatory
rubbish. Just report, 'We have examin
ed into the condition of the country,
and we find that the United States is
at peace with all the world.' That will
do first rate."
Indeed it will! It will do in nine
cases out of ten in the matter of com
mittee reports and conference proceed
ings of all kinds. The amount of rub
bish, inflammatory and otherwise, sent
forth for the affliction of mankind by
all sorts of people who feel that they
must stir up something is beyond com
putation. If we only had a few more
benevolent despotic Bishop Derricks to
attend conventions and curb the fana
tics, busy bodies, and "bores! How de
lightful it would be if half the mis
placed zeal for "viewing with alarm"
things unimportant or things unchan
geable could be quieted, not with leave
to print , but with a hint that a blank
piece of paper would be an excellent
report!
Dead Man as a Scare-Crow.
Connellsville, Pa., June 3. All day
travelers along the road between this
place and Moyer admired what they
supposed to be a very cleverly arrang
ed scarecrow, in a field on the Butter
more farm. It was the figure of a
man suspended from a tree, the feet
about six feet from the ground with
all the clothes on.
A clear-sighted teamster went up
into the field to investigate, and found
the supposed scarecrow to be the body
of a man. The body was evidently that
of an Italian, the complexion being
dark, the hair black and the features
fine' and sharply chiseled. He had
clinabed out on a limb of the tree, and
with the rope about his neck, dropped

I
tees' Choice to Succeed Dr. r
Oilman.
Baltimore, Md., June 3. Prof. Ira D.
Remsen. who since the founding of the
Johns Hopkins University in 1876, has
occupied the chair of chemistry, will be
the future President of this institution

charge .of the chemistry department,
but insistent urging on the part of
the members of the board led him to
change his mind.
He accepted the place on condition
that he be permitted to continue dir
ecting the work in the chemical labor
atory. Dr. Remsen is popular with
the students at the university, and de
monstrated his ability as an execu
tive during the year he occupied the
President's position while Dr. Gilmaii
was temporarily absent.

in 1846. He received his degrcfi of B.
A. when 19 years old at the College of
the City of New York. Two years la
ter he was made a Doctor of Medicine
at the New York College of Physicians
and Surgeons. After this he went
abroad to study, and in 1870 received
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at
the University of Goettingen. After
serving for a short time as assistant
in chemistry at the University of Tue-
bingen he returned to America and as
sumed the professorship of chemistry
at Williams College, whence he came
to Johns Hopkins. For his writings
Dr. Remsen has the degree of LL. D.
f rom the Columbia College and Prince
ton University.

TUNNELING A MOUNTAIN.
Account of a Stupendous En
gineering Feat in the West.
Montana Record.
The wonderful achievements of tun
neling a big mountain at Sherman,
Wyoming, by the Union Pacific in or
der to reduce the grade and shorten the
track has been accomplished, and on
May 1 regular service was commenced
on the new line from Buford to Tie
Siding, which becomes a part of the
main line of "the overland route
The contract for this work was
awarded about a year ago, and its
completion is reckoned one of the most
astonishing leasts of railroad : eggiivr
eering yet accomplished. The general
public has no idea of the gigantic tun
neling through the rockies in con
nection with this work. f
The Sherman tunnel, forming a very
important part of the project, is situ
ated between Dale Creek and Tie
Siding, nearly half a mile long. In the
mountain it pierces is found the arch
aean formation, one of the hardest of
granite rocks, from which comes Sher
man gravel, so extensively used on the
Union Pacific fo ballast.
Standing conspicuously out In this
great engineering work are two fills.
Lone tree fill and Dale creek fill. The
embankment at the last named fill is
145 feet in the highest place, 900 feet
long, 40 feet wid at the top,115 feet at
the bottom. The Lbne Tree fill is
southeast of the ttowriof Sherman. The
embankment is 130 feet high at the
highest point These two fills involved
the handling of 500,000 cubic yards of
earth' and stone. - ?
Two of the old enbankments adjacent
required the moving df 250,000 yards,so
that this particular p"art of the work,
all within the distance of a mile, ne
cessitated the moving of more than
750,000 cubic yards of earth and rock.
Through the enbankments pass large
col crete and iron culverts, to provide
for the drainage of the large area ob
tain g on Dale creek. The new tun
nel is so well constructed that with
freedom from density of air one may
see clearly with the naked eye from
one end of the tunnel to the other.
The saving in motive power to the
Union Pacific by the construction of
the new line will be immense, and Is
evidenced by the fact that the maxi
mum grade per mile is reduced from
97.68 per cent ,to 43.3 per cent, between
Buford and Laramie alone. The Union
Pacific now will be able to make faster
time to the Western points ' and haul
heavier loads than ever before.
