StenJing n L The following interesting ancedote was recently printed in one of our tech- nical journals, with u statement that it was amusing, but probably untrue, As the incident did actually cceur, and was ono of the most noted enginecring feats porformed during the war of the rebel- ion, and as it was printed some years ago as gospel truth in the same journal, whose editor has now appavently for- gotten it, the story is reproduced here as illustrating the way in which obsta- cles were overcomo thirty years ago. The confoderate army in 1861 was very much in nced of a locomotive to run a supply train in Virginia. The money to buy an cngine was not fortheoiing, so the invuriuble ulternutive arose of taking one. A bandof 100 men was selected from Lec's urmy and placed under the commund of & big Georgian, who had been foreman of a stone quarry, and was more or less skilled in the use of der- rvicks and metheds of handling he weights, He took his men up into Maryland and they tore up a section of the Baltimore & Ohio railway track, flagged the next train, and with nothing suve plenty of ropo those 100 men huuled the locomotive over the rocky voad until they struck the confed- erate line, down which they ran into Virginia. When Robert Garrett, then president of the Baltimore & Ohio, heard of the feat he refused to believe it. He went out and personally inspected the scene, went over the route, and declared it wonderful feat of engincering. After the war he seit a man to find the ieader of the company, and at last discovered him in Georgia. Garrett sent for him and made bim an important ofticer of the road. In riding from St. Louis to Wash- ington the conductor of the train will point out the spot where the locomotive was borrowed, and the railway company has published & little guide book giving further details of the feat. with Ordinary E: —~Chnrles M Knce for Youngst the Gatlopers INDEPENDENCE, Ta, Aug. gram to Tne Bee.]—Toda certainly exceptional and first ¢ 00, Wilkes, sold equal favorit At tho half she passed Bu mont, who had raced to t| terms in 1:03 from the half and won in The form xih, ¢ finished thir three-fourths and won han the next heat the N fro 2:17.

The event is the Futurity stake, and though its cxact valuo cannot be stated, it is estimated the winner will put nearly 50,000 to the owner's credit. The probabilities aro that the monoy will fall to the Messrs, Keene. The event will undoubtedly attract a largo crowd to the Sheapshead Bay track. Littlo will be seen of the race itscif, for it is to be_rur. over t straight course, and this sort of racing will novor becomo popular with the rank and tile of the followers of the sport. At the same time the weights are so adjusted as to bring them clnso together, and the strusglo through the last furlong will undoubtedly be interesting. Domino will undoubtedly be the favorite in the tomorrow's race. 1f he should win—and tho chances seem more than avorable—he wili probably be retived for the vem: der of the season to proparo his troublesome legs for next year's cam- paign. i Ho is fortunate i out of the way. Thi that can beat the er: n i having Senator Grady is the only youngster sk Domino if the latter i to bo beaton, Senator Grady has beaten all othors of his ageand class. It is good betting that Domino can beat tho Daly crack, nd therefore it seems if the Futurity were at the merey of Domino. It is reported that ho 1s not in the best of shape, but such rumors invariably float about before a great ace1s to be run. Lakeland will hardly snd_Domino to the post unless he is fit.

In 1883 aividends of 11 1-10 per cent were paid on the preferred stock; there were no dividends until 1590, when 4 per cent was paid, followed by 4 per cemt in 1591, and 1 per cent in January and 1 per cent in, April, 1802, since when there have been no divi- dends. ‘The general first, second and third mort- @ages have a first, second and third lien re- spectively on the company’s main line and ob the lands, except as (o the parts subject 1o the two divisional mortgages of 1579 and the lands east of the Missouri River, which are subject to the preferred stock.

After a pleasant talk of some moments he no- ticed an axe, a saw and a try-square hanging over the editor's desk., May [ ask,” he inquired delicately, “if those are weapons of defense?" “Kinder only,” replied the editor. “That is, T uso m on poetry.” Poetry?” ropeated the bewildered bard. Yes, poetry.

Ho was announced to speak on “The Future of Omaha, tho World's Fair and Cosmos,” tho posters guaranteeing red tot psychics, general poli- tics and a general discussion of the financial situation, and ft is but fair to him to say that ho camo as noar covering his subjects and overything else as 1s often accomphshed before an audience. The Citizen had been “rilad” at the tima of his arrival a few hours before to find no brass band at the depot to meet him, and he took occasion soveral time during tho ovening to express his dis pleasure av the slight thus put upon him, whether intentional or otherwise. 1t was noticed that the Citizen went further in his eccentricities than on the occasion of his last visit to Omaha, or it might have been that ho has delved more deeply into vsychics, for ho unloaded a lot of statements that wore simply paralyzors His Triumphat Entry, He was rather lato in getting to the opera house, but he was not long in making his presence known after he got there. He wis accompanied by Mayor Bemis, who tried to ®et him in by way of tho stage ontrance, but the citizen would have none of it. Ho jusisted on marching down thraugh the audience, and as soon as he appeared in the lobby he was wermly welcomed, as his attire proclaimed hio identity even bafore his features could be recognized. He wore a white 't ana 1mmense boutouniere, thoe former thrown wide open and disclosing tho polished sur- face of a carefully laundried shirt, below which dangled the massive charms that always adorn tho chain to which his watch s anchored. A red fez was carvied in his a wine-colored sash encircled The knowledge of the im of such a thing was all d hisold acquaintances that Lis complexion was not a shade or two darker than when he was last here, while the snow whito hair and mustache wore as us ever, each separate capillary being iness on its own account The audience was so scattored that citizen ut once st about condensing it. He acknowledged that the crowd was not large, but said it was fair to presume that he had all the © and money of the city right there under his nose, Mayor Bemis introduced the speaker of the evening in a very complimentary, though reminiscent, speech, saying that he believed the Citizen looked at nim in his cradle the e was_born, to w “Train assented with a nod of the head 4 vigorous “That’s so." Iec told of the Citizen's valor in many a tight plice and how he had adverfised Omaha from the tower of London to the pyramids of Iigypt. He took a whirl at the bankers and other cliques that he claiimed were all the time drazging Omaha down unless they b pened to bein on the ground floor of ey enterprise, and was succeeding so well that the Citizen felt constrained to remark, *Go on, Bemis, give them the whole Jec: ture.” "The mayor did not wait for the Citi- zen to get upand hit him with & club, but immediately subsided, and Train took the floor. Some of the Citizen's Achlevoments, The words of the mayor had awakened recollections, however, " that could not at once be brushad away, und_the Citizen told how ho had takeu the former from his cradle in his infancy and secretly im- ted him the information = that ho was destined to be the mayor of a great city in the geographical center: of the country, that was destined to becomo utually the capital of the nation. He complimented the mayor on his speech, d claring that there wasn’t a man in_cougress who could beat it off-hand and advising the veople of Omaha to stick by him. He then entered upon a brief history of his travels and achievements, Lelling how he and Bemis had encircled the world in cighty days, two years beforo Jules Verne was guilty of the work of fiction in which they were both left out. He insisted that the mayor was the most modest man on oarth, and told how the that now signs tho bonds twice brought into activ © to wa the blow aimed at tho Citizen's heart. He ocganized the commune at Marseilles, and after placing a general at the head of the army, ho and Bemis took possession of the military head- quarters, Napoleon didn’t weigh six ounces t0 the pound, and he was himself a man of destiny. When the reaction came ho saw 20,000 “bayonets pointed at his head. He put down the rcbellion on the other side of the water as the only American Europe who was loyal to the north. General Phil Sheridan never took that celebrated ride; on the contrary it was but a creation of Buchanan Reed’s feverish imogination, while under the influence of champagne at o'clock in the morning, Goorge Washington was sent by mother to b8 a midshipman 1n the navy of Georgo III, but he had the smallpox at Jamaica and came home so fearfully pittod that several swarms of bees could have been hived in his disfigured countenunce, His mother could mnot stand that and took him home, whence he went as a guide for HBraddock Train declured that the fearful slaugnter of Braddock's fiela was all a myth, as not an cnemy was seen. Tho Pilgrims ho char- actorized as- a lot of buccanneers, pirates, sneak thieves and cut throats who came over nere to bura witches and shoot tho aborigines, teaching the Indians how to steal, and never doing a noble act in thelr jives. 'He finally got around to Napo- leon again, and told of visiting Josephine at Malmaison, where she received her visitor: “when that miserable sneak thief, Nupoleon Bonaparte, was listening at tho keyholo and opening her private lotters.” The Citizen nsisted that he was the best known man and tho best unkunown man in the world, known by every one yet unknown as he is by any one, hearing nothing, yet putting his ear to the ground and heaving the pulse beats of a nation. Some Charaoteristic Finance, And then came the silver question, the Citizen olaiming that the present circulation per capita is only §5, as against 30 at the beginning of the war. Hoe put o number of "circles on the blackboard to show the growth of the country, setting forth the in- significance of the originul thirteen states, and asserting that whenever the d—d fools in New York took snuff the legislators Washington sucezed. He was for a fow minutes a radical silverite, but a short time afterward was pouring the hot juice into Novada because her two sen- ators tried to have as much say so as those from New York. He charged that both Sen- ators Jones and Stewart were playing into the hands of the gold gang, and finally said he knew that the Rothschilds had sent $3.000,000 to this country 1o buy congress and secure the repeal of tho present silver law, and the action of the house, as set forth n the evening papers, was proof enough of his statement. 16 sprung a telegram calling him back to Chicago immediately, as the fair was golng 10 destruction in his absence. He professed a desire to adjourn at once and start, but finally securedl the overa house for tomorrow ovening and promised to stay over. Then he weut at silver again, and from that time to theclose he kept the audience guessing, Ho said there had never been money enough since the duys of the green- back, and that the most terrible revolution wius coming that the world ever saw.
