Last evening Andrew Passetti, an Italian living iu Skunk Hollow, saved two small children from being run over by an engine on the Junction road, but to save their lives he will probably lose ms own. About o'clock in the evening the children were playing along the railroad about the corner of Thirty third and Liberty streets.

They were so engrossed in their amusement that they did not observe a shifting engine backing down on them. Passetti, who was on his way borne irom work, noticed tne peril the children, and bravely ran to thei rescue. Catching one in each arm, ran a few steps and jumped, just as was struck by tbe engine. The children were not hurt, but at some distance lay tneir rescuer, motionless, blood stream ing from his head. He was unconscious when picked up, and so badly injured tnat it is iearea ae will not recover.

A physician was called, who ordered his removal to his his juries were dressed.

HOGS WILL BE DEAR. Prices Are Away Up and Liable to Go Still uigner veauon not in it.

In a very short time, unless all signs fail, pork will be as great a luxury as venison, ana will be costing as much, not more, than deer meat. The hog market at the Central Stock Yards, East Liberty, has been booming all week unti the market reached the highest figure in more than nine years. The best tops, or Philadelphia hogs, were selling at 7.15 per iuu pounds, and tne market was active at tnose prices. in tact the com mission men had not half enough porkers to supply the trade. Seven dollars and fifteen cents is an unusually high figure, and the cause of the high price is the scarcity of the animal all over the country.

The canse of the sudden raise in the market is accounted for by the scarcity ox the article all over the country, Latest advices from Chicago say the market is steadily increasing, and the pork packers are placing ord era away a neau and are willing to pay almost any price. Ihe supply in Chicago will run 3,000,000 short for the year ending At the Central Yards in Pittsburg the exact figures could not be learned, but they will fall short of more than half the supply or last year.

SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS. Legislation Probable to lCenesl or Modify IIabrisbitbo, Jan. 4. The decision of the Supreme Court regard ibg the enforcement of the Sunday act of. 1704 against the prohibition of Sunday newspapers, is the subject of much discussion among the legislators yot remaining here.

It is the general opinion that the over zealous people who pushed tbe suits against the newspaper publisheis have crippled their cause, and that there will be quick legislation looking to there peal of the act entirely, or to its amendment, making it broader. Tbe newspaper publishers of the State will demand that this legislation be prompt and in time to prevent what they character ize as a persecution. Two years ago an attempt was made to amend tbe old law. making various changes, among them the permission to sell Sunday newspapers; but the bill fell into a committee's bands, and some of the committeemen, it was generally believed, tried to squeeze tbe publishers, who refused to be held np. The result was that the bill was never reported from committee until 'such a late date that its passage was practically impos sible.

It is understood that similar bills to amend the old law will be introduced in the House by a Philadelphian and in ths Senate by a Pittsburger, and ordered to ne reported irom committee at once. There is little doubt of their passage, but there is some apprehension regarding Governor Pattison's attitude. AN ANTI PI NKERTON BILL. It Is Also Aimed at Unauthorized Military urbanizations.
