MET IIS DEATH.
Te- rible Accident Which Ended
Life of Joseph Benson At
Fireclay Mines.
BURIED BENEATH GREAT WEIGHT OE
LOADED CAR HE IS FATALLY
INJURED,
Tributes of Respect From Friends of Well
Known Young: Man —Was Beloved By
All Who Knew Him.
Hurled through the air with terrific force
and pinned down by the heavy mine car
Joseph Benson, one of the best known
young men of the town received injuries
Saturday' afternoon which resulted in his |
tieatiriater m tlie"eVening! Several others
were painfully and seriously injured in
the accident which caused the death of the
young man and the wonder is that others
were not killed. Mr. Benson was sixteen
years of age and was the son of Mr. John
N. Benson, superintendent of the fire clay
i mines of the Big Savage Fire Brick Co., a
j short distance from Allegany mines. J
j The young man was in the employ of
I the same company in charge of the venti
lator fans. He, with a party of other men
were leaving the mines at 5 o’clock and to
get down to the railroad level started down
the incline on a trip of four cars in spite
of the fact that the cars were not consider
ed safe for passengers.
The cars used on the incline are of the
drop bottom pattern and hang low between
the rails. In some manner just exactly how
will probably never be known the front
of the second car came in contact with
one of the rollers which carry the cables
between the rails. The car was flung
liige in the air taking with it the car next
behind. On this was seated young Ben
son. He was flung clear of the first car
but the second one fell over on top of him
and as but a small portion of the fire clay
it contained had been thrown out he was
crushed to the ground beneath the great
weight. The other members of the party,
some of them badly injured and ail in a -j
dazed state hurried to his aid as best they
could.
When they reached him he was still
j conscious and begged them to hurry in the
I work of rescue. Owing to the position in
j which pinioned it was with great difficulty -
I they were enabled to free him of the great
j weight and an hour had elapsed before
I, they started with him to the nearest point
i at which aid could be secured. He was
- taken to his home on Frost avenue and
several physicians were summoned. It
was found that he was suffering from in
ternal injuries which rendered an im
mediate operation imperative. Before
anything could be done, however, he col
lapsed and in a short time was dead.
Among,the party which was on the ear.
with Benson at’the time of the accident is
Mr. Joseph Maury, mine foreman. His
wrist was sprained. Alvin Arnold re
ceived a bad Injury to his right leg. Har
den Daugherty, colored, suffered a fracture
of the wrist and a o bad bruise to. his arm, |
Harry Kendall was injured about the
hips. Chas Devore was badly cut and
bruised and C. H. -Kendall was cut
about the head. Clarence Workman,
Jesse Rizer and Archie College were also
passengers on the trip of cars but escaped
with slight injuries.
Benson’s father was formerly postmaster
of Frostburg. Young Benson was born
in Frostburg and lived here all his life.
Besides his mother and father he is sur
vived by his brother, Mr. Davisson Ben
son and three sisters, Mrs. Pearl Frey, of
Pittsburg and Misses Evelyn and Belle
Benson.

A TIRELESS WORKER.
Tlie Marvelous Energy Tliat Waa a
Part of Macaulay.
No life was ever lived at higher pres
sure than that of Macaulay. He was
not only “like a book in breeches,” as
Sydney Smith said of him; he was also
like an intellectual steam engine. His
thirst for knowledge was only equaled
by his amazing capacity for retaining
knowledge and by his passionate inter
est in all the aspects of life. “I wish
I knew as much of anything as Ma
caulay knows of everything,” said Mel
bourne, and, though the epigram may
have been intended as a gibe, it ap
proximated to the truth. To the aver
age dullard of the world it must have
seemed that this tempestuous man was
literally omniscient. He plunged into
Italian like a boy rejoicing in a new
toy; he took up Spanish with an appe
tite growing by what it fed on, and
then he returned to Greek with a joy
which he found indescribable. He
amused himself in going to India by
learning German and mitigated the dis
tress of a voyage across to Ireland by
committing “Paradise Lost” to mem
ory, claiming, doubtless with truth,
that if by any inconceivable misdhance
the great epic were to be utterly de
stroyed he could from the tablets of his
memory give it back to the world. —

A SEA GIRT TOMB.
Francois Rene Was Bnriert on a
Rock In tlie Atlantic.
Francois Rene, vicomte de Chateau
briand, some twenty years before his
death, writing to the mayor of St. Ma
lo, his native town, made the request
that the town would grant hi’- m '' 0
west point of the rock of Grand bay a
space sufficient for his burial. To this
island rock, accessible only at low tide,
the body of the great French littera
teur was brought at his death.
A granite cross marks the spot. At
high tide the rock becomes an island,
and the waves of the Atlantic beat
against this lonely grave. The fiftieth
anniversary of the funeral was cele
brated by a pilgrimage to the Grand
bay, each person being requested to
take some floral tribute,
i After solemn mass in the cathedral
; a procession, headed by the mayor and
, two members of the French academy,
1 crossed the sands and mounted the
- rocky slopes, and with the sound of
• music and the firing of salutes the flo
. ral homage was made. Poems coin
-3 posed for the occasion were recited, an
, oration was pronounced by M. le Vi
; comte de Vogue, and at night the
Grand bay displayed green funeral

SWORD EVOLUTION.
#;.e Transitiori EVomcthe Ancient t*
the Moderti blade.
A great many m.dAitern sword forms
Hre really nothing more than de
scendants, oi* either; improvements, on
tlie peculiar boomerang shaped sword
sf the ancient Egyptians, thb parent
of the scimiter, yataghan, falchion and
saber. Africa, south of the Sahara,
was perhaps the greatest museum for
old swords in the world. In the Su
dan and central Africa the old sickle
and boomerang shaped swords, which
the ancestors of the modern negroes
received centuries ago from the Egyp
tians, were still made and in use. More
over, the knights of Malta were at one
time famous swordmakers, and their
peculiar long, double edged blades, such
as the crusaders carried, were exported
to tbe Barbary states, where they were
in large demand. From there they
were taken across the Sahara to the
Sudan and exchanged for ivory, and it
was on this account that they were still
found in central Africa.
In the sixteenth century a peasant
living on the outskirts of Toledo, Spain,
invented the famous Toledo rapier,
which soon became the popular weapon
all over Europe. Prior to that time
the swords used in Europe were heavy
affairs for hewing, slashing and cutting,
but with tbe advent of the Toledo
rapier men had to learn to thrust as
well as to hack and slash. With the
rapier came tlie art of fencing, the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries be
ing the age of the sword par excel
lence.
MORAL SUASION.
Tle Experience of a Sehool Official
Wlio Advocated It.
This story is told at the expense of
a recently appointed supervisor of a
pubiic school in this city:
One day she happened to be visiting
a school where a young incorrigible
was undergoing punishment for a se
ries of misdemeanors.
The teacher cited him as “the worst
boy in the school —one I can’t do any
thing with. I've tried everything In
the way of punishment.”
“Have you tried kindness?” was the
gentle inquiry of the other lady.
“I did at first, but I’ve got beyond
that now.”
At the close of the session the lady
asked the boy if he would call and see
her on the following Saturday. A boy
arrived promptly at the hour appoint
ed. The lady showed him her best pic
tures, played her liveliest music and
set before him a luncheon on her dain
tiest china, when she thought it about
time to begin her little sermon.
“My dear,” she began, “were you not
very unhappy to have to stand in the
corner before all the class for punish
ment?”
“Please, ma’am,” broke in tbe boy,
with his mouth full of cake, “that
wasn’t me you saw. It was Pete, and
he gave me 10 cents to come here and
lake your jawing.”—Philadelphia Ledg-
WORSHIPED AS A GOD.
An English General Wlo Was Dei
fied by East Indians.
John Nicholson, British colonel and
brigadier general, was once worshiped
as a god. He was the eldest son of
Alexander Nicholson, a physician of
Dublin. This gallant soldier distin
guished himself in the Punjab cam
paign of 1848-49, when he was appoint
ed a deputy commissioner of the an
nexed Punjab under Sir Henry Law
rence. At Bannu, dealing wisely with
; an ignorant and bloodthirsty people, he
evolved in the course of five years such
order and respect for law that murder
1 and highway robbery, previously to
rife, were unknown in the district
’ He so impressed his powerful per
sonality on the natives that he became
s to them a demigod, and in Hazara a
brotherhood of fakirs in 1848 instituted
a religious cult for the worship of “Ni
kal-Seyn,” which continued to flourish
3 in spite of Nicholson’s efforts to sup
press it even by punishment,
i At a moment of victory during the
|! siege of Delhi in 1857 this hero fell
t mortally wounded in the street while
leading his men. He died a few days
later on the 23d of September, 1857.
