Loxnoy, Jan. 3L.—Thero was rioting in Eastbourne today caused by the Salvatipn army bolding a snecial celebration to com- memorate the founding of the corps. After the usual morning services the Saivatiouists marched through the streets under police protection and wero disturbed only by run- ning comments and chaff from the crowds on tho sidewalk. In the afternoon a arizzling rain that had been falling having ceased a mob rapidly collected at the Salvation arm citadel, and as the soldiers *‘filed out” slog fug thoir processional byinu they were sub Sected to more chafl, accompanied by the 1inging of a ribald parody, velling and hoot- ing. Several well dressed men formed the corps, twenty abroast surging up, follow by the army, to the beach where it was pro- posed to hold a meeting. Along the whole route windows, balconies and even carriages in the streets wero filled with cltizens and visitors watching the scene.

They made the parade with the utmost dificully, their assailants making frequent rullies, but failing to canture the salvationists’ flag. Desperate hand to hand encounters with policemen were continued. A few clerzymen and soldivrs were present, but beld aioof. When the struggling crowd had reached a point opposite the Burlinston hotel, the police having become exhausted, .another rally was made and proved successful. The hated flag was seized from its stalwart bearer and torn into shreds. Caps were torn from the heads of the salvationists and tossed in the air or kicked into the roadway umid execrations. Some frail looking “lasses,” who swooned from pain and fright, were nearly trampled upor.. The scene of violence was continued until the army retreated into their “citadel,” and even thon the mob was loth to disperse, and still came into collision with the police. Several of tho Salvationists were badly in- jured and the uniformns of all were spoiled.

BRUTAL WILL KEFORM N Russin Suid to Be Again About to Put Its Peasiunts In Bondug P2amis, Jan, 31.—According to advices from St. Petersburg the czar intends to initiate measures for the restoration of serfdom amongthe peasants. Reports from many district officials have concurred in the state- ment that the increase of population in the villages is so great that the land belonging 1o the “mirs” or local communes is iusufficient to support all members. The government, with the view of remedyiug the evil, proposes to allot to the peasants vasts tracts of land under couditions similar to those of*scr! tenure, One-third of the harvost 1s Lo ne stored in the communal magazines for the support of the peasant oue-third is to be sold by the government for the paymeut of local debts to the same, and one-third is to be retained for the pavment of government tuxes. The peasants will not be allowed to move, but will be bound to the soil ana will bo ovliged to fulfill their con- tracts with the state. The system will be first applied in the proviuces of Swmara and Saratov and if suc- cessful will be extended all over the empire. The execuuion of the new law will be en- trusted to the district officials “somski lachalkn1.” As these are recruited from the nobility, who are iu favor of the restoration of serfdom, they are certain to report the schemeo as @ success.

For five minutes the train dispatcher's office at X— had been painfully quiet, says the New York Sun, It was shortly aftor midnight, and ail the wires on the oastern and western divisions were mo- mentarily stilled. A depressed feeling had froighted the atmosphore in the office all the evening, It had affected every one. Iiven the wires appeared to suffer from it. When the sounders began to rattle off *‘os, os, 0s,”" which prepared the dispatehers for the report of some train passing a far away station, they sounded frightfully loud. Several times Dispatcher DeForest had shud- dered and scrowed down the armature of his instrument so that it would not make so much noise. At a quarter past 12 the deep stillness of the room, only broken by the slow, monotonous ticking of the clock by which the watches of all the employes of the rond wore regulated once a day, echoed with the words of the telegraph. The operator at I reported to De- spatcher De [Porest that Conductor Me- Gill of extra 100, londed with fresh beef bound east, wanted to know if he could have ten minutes of the time of No. 1. the west-bound night express, to make £01d 19 just needs a little shaking up, MeGill says, to take the kinks out of its joints,” the operator added. Do Forest cust his eye down upon his n sheet, which told him at a glance where every train out upon the vosd was. Then he looked at the clock. J—— was fifteen miles from I - If he did not allow MeGill to use ten minutes of the express vrain’s time the meat train would surely be delayed for an hour or more. All the dispatchers had orders from the superintendent to give the meat trains as much show as possible, therond being bound by n contract to et them through in a specified time. So De Forest sent the following ofticial order: To Conductor and Engineer Bastbound Extra No. One Hundred (100) has until twelve fifty (12:50) a. m. to muke J—— against westhound No. One (1). — ——, Supt. Conductor McGill signed the order and the operator at F'—— repeated it back nccording to the custom. Dis- patcher De Forest *O. K'd”it. A min- ute or two later the operator at F—— snid “0’s” three times to attract De Forest’s attention, and then reported that Extra 100 had just arrived at 12:10 a. m., and departed at 12:1», The despatcher jotted down the time on the trainsheet and then began calling the operator at T-——, three stations cast of J—, where the extra freight had orders to run. He wanted to send the duplicate of the order to thy press train so that it would wait at | - for vhe freight. Th operator at T—— did not aunswer, and after a moment or more of steady calling De Forest stopped. Dispatcher St. Jokn, who worked the second trick from 3 p. m. to 11 p, m., was ill, and his work had fallen upon his two colleagues. And then, to make matters worse, Dis- pateher Thatcher had been taken sud- denly ill early in the forenoon and De Forest was got out of bed to keep the road from getting clogged up. There wore thr other dispatchers in the oftice, but they kept the woestern di sion of the road in operation. They were not familiar with the eastern divi- sion, and consequently were of no use. This necessitited De Forest’s turn- ing out. He had sat at the desk since early in the morn- ing, and with the terrible strain of the position was in no condition for duty that n So when he failed to raise the operator at T—, he dropped his head and stared at the train shioetv on the desk before him. He was not asleen, but there was u tempovary lapse in his mind. The night express had passed D—, and the operator there had ro- vorted it, This made it absolutely necessary Lo get the orders to T— be- fore it ran that station, as there was no other telegraph office Between that point and J—, where the freight was to meet it, open at might. Dispateher De Forest sat motionless at his desk. while the big clock ticie off the seconds loudly. Finally the ons ern wire opehed. %08, 08, 08, No. 1 passed on time T—, said the sounder slowly De Forest straightened up in his chair, his faco wearing an_expression startling and wild, He reached for the key of the instrument, aia his fingers played upon it ae he asked the operator at I'— to repeat the report. There had been no mistake. Delorest jumped from his chair with a cry. Up and down the oflice he walked, wringing his hands and sobbing. My God, what have I done Intuition gave everyone else in the office an idea of what had happened. None of them usked him. They merely gathered around the table and” glaneed at the train sheet and then at the book which contained copies of the train orders. One look told the story. De Forest continued to pace the rooin ery ing as1if his heart would broeak, and glineing atthe big clock at each turn, The night was thick and black, « It was perfectly piain that only a miraclo could prevent therheavy meat traing running on fast time, and the flying night express from clushing together. If the operrtor at —— had reported Me Gill’s departure correctly, the others in the room heard De IForest arguing out loud the two trains would meet on the flats several imiles west of J——, The engineers might cateh a glimpse of the approaching headlights, which upon a single track ave indicative of danger, in time to prevent a frightful accident. But the chances were that MeGill had not pulled out of for five or ten minutes after he was reported. That was & common thing when the operators and trainmen were on friendly terms. It wus called “stealing time.” While the officials knew that it existed, they could never charge it, because the train- men protected the operators if they failed to muke their runs quickly enough, Insuch un event as that the conduetor would report to the disvatcher thut he had been detained by hot box, or some other imaginary trouble, If McGitl had stolen any time De For- est konew that the two trains would meet on the curve 4 fuw miles west with- oul o moment’s warning. Nothing eould save them in such an event, Dispatcher De pace up and down the oflice, his eyes fixed upon the clock and his wind upon the accident that he felt must happen. He talked to himself, tracing the two trains rushing on to their doom in the darkn “There goes MeGill,” he said in tor that made the others shiver; ‘‘there goes MeGiill down the grade on this sid ra 1002 » have I doue, what i Forest continued to ot Calico Junction Bill Brown's got old nineteen wide open, God, but how he'll sail across the flats!” De Forest glanced at the clock again. It was 12:40, He sighed heavily and continued: ‘‘Look at No. 1 sailing through J——, Why, she should stop! But 1t won’t matter, Everybody knows enough to keep out of her way Then the poor fellow subsided a mo- mont. It was only for a moment, how- over. He was standing beside his dosk with his wild eyes upon the train sheet. Suddenly he became possessed of his montal faculties again, and sank into his chair all a-trombling and with sweat standing upon his forohead “‘Look, look, boys!” he moaned. *There’s McGill flying around the curve just beyond the flats from the west and No. 1 from the east. Don’t you see them? They should have met at J-——. A moment lawer he shouted: “Did vou hear that crash? Do you svo tho It was 12:50 by tho olock. Da Forost was all in a heap in his chair. He was lnughing ironfcally. It was the laugh of n manine. His companions were motionless. None dared to intorrupt him for fear of violence. Various stations had been calling De Forest to et ovders for other trains, but for a fow minutes the sounder made noimpression upon him. But when the day operator at J—— called, De Forest pulled his chair up to the table instantly and an- swered. The operator at J was ex- ceedingly nervous, it was easy to tell by the way he handled his key. Tho mes- snge was this: “lixtra east-bound freight No. 100 collided with west-bound express No, 1 on the curve just westof the big flats abtout 12:45 Both treainsin the ditch and on fire. At least a dozen killed out- right and many badly injured. Track completoly blocked. MCGILL. De Forest took the messnge without a break. He was as firm us a rock, and not w nerve in his body so much us quivered. He was the Do orest of old again, Ina moment the wire was hum- ming with orders. Wrecking cvews were ordered out from all near-by stations, and orders were issued to the wrecking trains stationed at either end of the division 1o proceed to the scenc of the wrec Phys| ng and surgeons were summoned, and o train was made up and started for the wreck, with orders to pick up wrecking erews and assistance as it passed the various stations. wndwiched in between all these numerous orders came additional de- tails from the scenc of the disaster. Mossage after message eamo to Do For- est, giving particulars, and each one in- creased the number of killed untii they footed up an even twenty. Then the names of the victims, so far as could be learned began to coms in, and later a description of the unidentified dead. It was pliin, however, that the dispatcher did not v any attention to the names of the killed and injured. He received them mechanically. De Forest remained all night with his hand upon the key to tho telegraph in- strument. From the time the official news of the accident came to him over the wires from J— he never looked up from his desk, never spoke a word to his colleagues. He appenred to be totally obiivious to the presence of any one. At exactly 7 o'clock in the morning Dispatcher Thatcher arrived to take his regular trick. The track had been cleaved sufticiently to let trains by, and everything was running on time. De Forest arose when Thatcher entered and put on his overcoat. The sild look returned to h He glanced at the clock and passed out of the oflice. He was never scon again, and not a word was ever heard of him. A ¥riend of the Koad, The trains on one of the railroads lead- ing into Atlanta are notoriously slow, according to the Dustroit Free Press, and they are on that account much fre- quented by tramps, who can readily catch ou as they pull out of stations. Not long ago, us a passenger train stopped a_ water tank, a tramp, dusty and tired looking, slipped oft u truck and approuched the conductor. SAin’t you the conductor?” he asked. “What were you doing unde» that car?” was all the information he re- ceived. “Ridin’; you walkin’, did you?” “Well, what do you want? conductor,” “f'or the Lord’s sake, mister, can’t you put more steam on, or put a brake- man out behind to push her, or do some- thing to git along faster? I want to git 1o Atlanta before the exposition isover.” “Come off,” growled the conductor. “If you don’t like it why aon’t you wall?” Jecause the president of this road is a friend of miue,” and the tramp drew himselt up in a dignified way, “‘and if | walk Ill beat the there about i and that'll set competin’ to makin’ unkind remarks. I ain’t goin’ back on a friend in no s low down manner as that, evenif I didn't git to Atlanta in time to make New Year's you hear me, cully condue,” The conductor gave him a seat in tho smoking after that, and he went to sleep and forgol that there was any such a place on the map as Atlanta. didn't s'pose I was I'm the First Railway to The first railway to rusalem will, wo are told, be onened the spring of the present year.
