There is No “Safest Car" on & Raliroad rrain, “Which is the safest car on a rallroad train?" repeated an old Detroit railroad man, as he stroked his chin and seemed to reflect “Well, the is the car when all the bank through a best answer I can make is that it which doesn’t run off the ralls others do, and which is left on when the rest of the train goes bridge." You've traveled raf 2 “Yes; tens of thousands. And been in half a dozen accidents?" I've been In exactly seventeen railroad aceldents, but some of them were hardly worth mentioning.” do you locate yourself in any particu- t of the train?" “No. When I first began traveling 1 wouldn’t ride in any coach but the rear one d about two dozen reasons why that was safest car, and for six or eight weeks went rolling over the country feeling as safe as if in my own brick house we lost too much time at a station and a special overhauled us and smashed into the rear coach. Yowll think it funny, but out of the sixteen people in that car I was the only one badly hurt. I had a leg and two ribs broken and was covered with bruises. When I was able to be out again I went dead back on the rear car.” ““And took the next one to the smoker, ¢h?" “That's what I did. A dozen different rail road men had a dozen reasons aplece why that was the safest place, and for three four months 1 rode in that car and laughed at the chaps who carried insurance policies, Then my fond dream of safety was rudely shattered, cars passed safely over a certaln switch while running at the rate of forty miles an hour, but the forward trucks of my car caught somewhere and the car was twisted right out of the traln. Yes, sir, it was torn loose at both ends and rolled down an embankment, and not another car left the rails. We had thousands of miles by car with a bad shaking up. My confidence in the first car was gone, however, never o be restored.” “And then you took the middle of the | train?" 1 did, my son. Yes, I sat down and rea- soned it out to my perfect satisfaction that the middle car of the train as safe as ting on the postoffice steps in Detroit. It was about a year before anything happened to undecelve me. One afternoon, when we were dusting along to make up lost time, we crossed the tracks of another road just a few seconds too soon or too late, just as you will have it. An express train on the other road came booming along and waded right through us. It struck my car, of course, and what was left of it after the grand smash couldn’t have been worked over into a wheelbarrow. Five killed was the record, general bad shaking up.” “And after that?" ““After that nd up to the present date 1 have no choice. I drop into a seat wherever 1 can find one and don’t worry about acci dents. T've known a whole train except the last coach to go through a bridge, and I've known every car but the last onc to pass safely over. In a head-on collision the for- ward coach may be smashed to splinters or it may rear up on end and escape all injury. I was on a train once where a locomotive struck the rear car, rolled it aside without serious injury to anybody, and then killed or wounded every passenger in the next coach The man who goes hunting for the safest car on a train Is throwing away his time. He may take any car and travel for ten years and never even be delayed by a hot box; or he may settle down in the car of his choice and be killed in a ride of ten mile.. I once saw twenty-two people smashed to pulp in a coach, and yet two fellows who were stealing a ride on the trucks underneath got off scot free. Just buy a fi class ticket, get aboard before the train goes and leave the rest to Providence. If you win it's all right; it you lose your heirs can get from $3,000 to $10,000 damages from the company. MET DEATH IN THE ALPS3, How Two Daring Cli Were Dashe latest victims of ambition to climb terhorn were Andreas Seiler, a tovrist, and Johann Biener, a guide. They belonged to a party of five, and, being a little more venturesome, had gone ahead. One of the surviving three tells of the acci- dent as follows “The others were only five minutes ahead, and we had reached a difficult spot and were standing in steps cut at the top of a small patch of ice, at an ang'e of 50 degrees and close to rock, when Mooser called out ‘Beware of stones.’ We pressed up close to the rock and listened, when the two (Sefler and Biener) shot past us. We were all threa together and Mooser could have touched them with his ax. They were tied together. Seiler passed close to us, his back downward, his head well bent up, us if he were preparing for a sudden shock. Biener flew far out against the blue sky and the rope was stretched tightly between them. They fell onto the Glacler du Lion, and when the "bodies were recovered they were still tied together. With both the crown of the head was cut a as though it had been done by a sharp instrument. Seiler's watch was crushed and his left boot was missing, Ithough the foot was uninjured. How the accident happened will never be known, as no one saw them slip. I am inclined to think that Seiler was climbing at the same time as Biener, instead of waiting until he had a firm hold, and that the former slipped, Jerking Biener off his feet. 1 am strength- ened in this belief by the position of the two as I saw them fly past.” Destroved s Own ldentity, One step from the subl'me (o the r'diculous, This is an old truism.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Tliere are strong | indications that another issue of honds will be made during the coming week. For some | tme past the has been growing | upon the president that an issue of another | | $30,000,000 will scon be necessary, and on return from Buzzards Bay he ex-| pressed to the members of his cabinet his belief that the issue could not be long de- layed, and that the sooner it was made the better. He saw the treasury recelpts con- stantly growing less with no prospect of any favorable change. Already the gold reserve as reached a point of $4.000,000 below the west point touched previously to the muj issue, with the probabilities strongly in favor | of stll further and larger withdrawals for | export as soon as the usual spring outflow sets In. The last several years the spring withdrawale for export ranged in amount from $20,000,000 to $50,000,000, and sometimes even more, and it was not good business judgment, in the opinion of the president, to wait until the gold reserve was, in fact, wiped out, before measures should be taken to replace it. Secretary Carlisle, it is understood, took a | more hopeful view of the situation. He argued that the receipts from internal rev nue and customs must of necessity show marked increase. The supply of whisky, which was withdrawn from bond just pre- | vious to the passage of the new tariff act to avold the payment of the additional 20 cents per gallon, would very soon be exhausted, and that the demands of trade would result in largely increased revenues from this source, and what was true of the internal revenue as equally true of the customs. Just be- fore the tariff act went Into operation the withdrawal from bond of goods of every char- actor was abnormally large. This supply had now been exhausted, or nearly so, and it was the confident expectation of the secretary that the present steady revival of trade weuld soon remove any necessity for another issue of bonds. Up to this time there had been no signs of any important withdrawals of gold for export, and it was his opinion that the emergency might be passed success- fully without increasing the public debt. He argued, 100, that his expericnee in placing the last i{ssue taught him that the lssue of another $50,000,000 might fall far short of recouping the gold reserve by that amount. It was an easy matter to deposit legal ten- ders at the subtreasuries and demand gold with which to pay for the bonds. This eva- sion of the spirit of the law authorizing Ylu“ issue of the bonds was several times detected during the scttlements for the last issue, and h2 feared it might be practiced again. The presidert, however, thought that all things considered, he preferred not to wait until congress reassembled in December when measures might be taken to obstruct the In his opinion, the situation de- manded the issue, and there should be no ry delay in the matter.

BROOKELWILL 8 Had the Option of Golng t Declined It WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—As a result of correspondence between the War department and the Army department commanders who would be affected by the retirement of Howard, it was found that some of nerals were not disposed to make a change from their present station. The only changes, therefore, which will be made are the following: General Miles will go to New York, General Ruger to Chicago and General Forsythe to San Francisco. It was expected t the change would be more extensive, as some of the other com- manders had signified a disposition to shift their headquarters and a schedule had been drawn looking to the transfer of General | Brooke from Omaha to St. Paul; of General | Merritt from St. Paul to San Francisco and | the assignment of General to Omaha. Bul all this was conditional upon | General Brooke's pleasure and was set aside when, in answer to General Schofleld's tele- gram offering him, by directions of the presi- dent, the option of going to St. Paul, General Brooke responded by telegraph this afternoon | that he preferred to remain in his present command. 1t is supposed at the War de- partment that the officers do not care to make a change after having made their | arrangements for the approaching winter, | but it is supposed that when General Me- Cook retires in the spring advantage will be taken of the opportunity te make further change.

And If He Did Not Get a Yortune He Got A Bit of Revenge. see petroleum has been discovered up in Marion county and a company is buying up all the land in the neighborhood,” remarked a rancher to the San Francisco Post, and it was noticed that there was a tinge of incredulity in his tone. ““Yes; I believe they have struck oll up that way,” was the corroborative evidence of one of his hearers, “Well, I'll believe it when they commence piping it into tanks, and not a minute before I struck ofl once.” “Is that the way you made your fortune?"

A Curious and Not Comfortable Experience with a Man |"ho Hallooed. “Once,” said the retired burglar to the New York Sun, “I looked from the upper hall of a house that I was in into a room that was so dark that'you literally couldn’t see into 1t at all. It seemed as if they must have had the windows closed, the blinds shut and the shades all down. It was blacker'n a cave. I turned my light in around on the floor to get the lay of things and get ‘em fixed in my mind so as not to stumble over anything. Over by the bed I aw a_chair, and hanging down from it a pair of trousers legs. Then, of course, [ knew there was a man in the bed, and that it was his clothes that were stacked up ¢ the chair there. I shut off my light and started. I knew the way and I went very quictly, but when I got about half way across the room the man in the bed began to holler. “How he could see me I couldn't under- stand. I couldn't see him at all, but I just halted and waited. He didn’t holler very loud, though he was trying to hard; but he was 80 scared that I was surprised to hear him holler at all; it sounded as though i was all he could do to catch his breath; I was afraid he'd scare himself to death right on the spot. I didn’t dare back out of the room for fear I'd meet somebody coming in. I thought [ could dodge ‘em better after they got in; so I just stood there in the middle of that dark room with that man hollerin’ the best he could, and I wishing I was somewhere else and wondering what was 20ing to turn up next. Well, sir, in about half a minute he stopped hollerin® altogether, and for a minute or two he did not breathe. Then I was scared; but in about a minute more he begun to snore. You see? Ho wasn't scared at me, what he was scarcd at was a night- mare; he didn’t know I was there at all But it was a mighty uncomfortable position to be in all the same, because, of course, he was just as likely to wake up somebody hollerin’ in his sleep as he would ha' been if_he'd been wide awake; he might have waked himself up, as far's that's concerned. But he didn't, nor anybody else, apparently, and when he'd got to snoring again, and everything seemed quiet, why I just went ahead and collared his trousers.” L, ONE BITER WAS BITTEN. 4 Hand Man Thought He Had a onanza,” but fle Was Fooled, A dapper young man walked into a second hand clothing store on Sixth avenue near Sighth street and unrolled from a package a pair of summer trousers Herald.

One thing that brings things nearer to a focus than they have been Is the row between the Alton and the Wabash over the alleged cutting of rates by the former road. Hearing on this question was had at St. Loufs this week by Chairman Caldwell, and If his decision should be adverse to the Alton there is every probability that the Alton will, if a fine against it, decline to pay amount demanded. This will leave the soclation in the position of either forcing the Alton to pay the fine or get out of the association. If it is forced out of the asso- clation it will be in a position to make things as interesting as it did two years ago. Ther is not the most friendly feeling just now between the passenger departments of the Missouri Pacific and the Alton. The former will not be likely to accept with any equan- imity any reductions that the Alton, once outside of the assoclation, would be free to make, and the result would certainly be a lively fight in Missourl river passenger rates that would drag in all the lines betwe:n Chi- cago and the riv The association lines are aware of this condition of affairs and it is likely an effort will be made to revise th agreement before trouble comes. No steps have as yet bien taken in this direction, but all the western lices are strongly in favor of the proceeding MAY EMPLOY The meeting of the general assembly of the Knight Labor tomorrow at New Orleans Is attracting general attention fn labor cir- cles throughout the United States.

Of course the great subject of dis cussion at the Denver meeting will be the political program proposed at the Chicago convention and which has been before the International, natlonal and local unions dur- ing the whole of the past year. Its princi- ples include compulsory education, abolition of child labor, direct legislation, eight hour work day, sanitary inspection, lability of employers, abolition of contracts on public work, abolition of the sweating system, muni- cipal ownership of sireet cars, gas and elecs tric plants, nationalization of telegraphs, rafls roads and mines, etc Possibly the conventlon will English visitor It Is likely that up for re-election, officers now in thi Tyler said A FULL FORC lakes & Proposition to the enne Shop Men, ecial Telegram.) A strike In July the Union Pacific shops at this place have not been operated to their full capacity. The reason given by the railroad officials for not employing the full force was that the scale of wages paid in Cheyenne is over 10 per cent higher than at Denver, Omaha or City. Now that the officials are plating a change in the manageme shops at Denver a proposition has been made to the employes at this point that if they | will agree to accept the same :cale of wages heretofore paid at Denver the management | will bind itself to largely increase the force and give them ten hours work each day instead of elght as at present. The employes are considering the proposition, but there are many of the expert machinists who are op- | posed to it. The change would increase the | | monthly pay roll at this point several thous- and doltars. The business men are conse | quently urging the employes to aceept the proposition.
