OEHLSCHLAEGER & WALKER ORUGGISTS Fifth and Broadway. WRITTEN . AT RANDOM. It seldom falls to the lot of man to have such a hair-breadth escape as firemen on the iadder track of the fire rtment had this morning about }0 o'clock, The alarm was from Twelfth and Monroe streets, and as the light from the blaze was plainly visible, the horses were going at tunddening tilt,” As they neared the railroad crossing on Broadway, the driver, Stationman Harvey Allen, saw a man frantically waving bis hand at them, and it flashed across his mind 1m an instant that the train was coming. But it was too late to d | stop As the horses sped on, and there was but a few feet intervening be- ween the plunging animals and the locomotive appeared, go- forty miles or more an through the heart of the city. Mr. Allen gave the reins s desperate jerk, and succeeded in turning the horses just as the track was reached. As they wheeled around, the side of the train grazed them. The truck was only a few ches from the track when stopped. ibg about hour, and |by striking the front of the first coach and being knocked from the \ track The man who signaled them had approach of the train and saw the fire department coming aiso, and knew a terrible accident was imminent. The firemen could not hear the vell or whistle of the engine, if ithad been sounded, owing to the noise they themselves made. But when that * nowt train whizzed past them, there was pot a man on the track who did not thiok bis ime had come. After the train bad passed, some of them were almost | prostrated from the sudden fright, aud to say their hair stood on end would in no wise express it, In regard to the trains going through the city, it is not known what possible protection there 1s to the citizen, when trains go through with the same speed as they do through a sleeping country village. There are no flagmen at any of the at night, and in many in- crossing pees the bell or whistle cannot be heard by those who happen to be out, Very often car loads of young people coming in from dances have to cross the track, about the time one of the fast trains is due,and the lives of these are jeopardized. The pre- sumption of the railroad company seems to be that no one is out at that time in the night. —1t would be very unfortunate for someone to lose bis life before the necessary protection is afforded the citizens by the proper authorities. st Hon Max Hanberry, who recently came to Paducah to reside, relates an amusing story op his oldest son Not long ago in Cadiz, he found that he was the oly white republican in that place. No one would likely im, his position, and the men * oWn had a great deal of fun out . thie two boysyhis sons, They would induce them, by divers gifts of caiitly and other luxuries, to say they were democrate—or rather the youngest would gladly consent to change his politics for afew chocolates. The oldest, however, was most loyal to the politics of his father, and refused for any consideration to say that he was a democrat. His father often praised him for this, until one day the boy came home with a ‘French harp’ about afoot long. The as tonished father managed to elicit from the lad between tunes the name of the donor, and also found out, to his chagrin, that the boy had been given the harp for bevoming a ‘‘dem- ocrat.’’ “Why son,’’ begsn the father, “I'm astonished at yen. I thought I could depend on you always, and here you have deserted me!"’ “Well, pa,” was the reply, “I'll tell you, 1 was losing too mach by sticking to your politics. Brother was getting everything, and I wasn’t getting a cent.’ He proceeded to blow another tune, aud then going over to bis fond he leaned on his ku nd said consolingly. ‘Ob, I'm not a democrat, anyhow—except when I’m down town.’” tar, . ae Friday, one year ago tonight, the memorable Casino theater fire occur- red, the pretty little theater ia Row- landtown being totally destroyed by the flames, and many people being burned, One actor, Edgar Bourne, ance is ted, it will cost some ‘ore his a died from his injuries. Many others still carry scars received in the con- YEISER, Wholesale Agt. flagration, More than likely the memory of that fire 1s still vivid iv the ininds of the hundreds of people who were there, and to know that it was one year ago tonight, will no doubt be of some interest to them. toad If reports which have been brought back are true, there has been at a neighboring summer resort, @ gigan- tic stir among the guests, As a re- sult, many of the sojourners have re- turued home in disgust, while those who are determined enough to stay it out, are unmeasured in their terms of condemnation of those who are re- sponsible for it. It seems the trouble was all occa- sioned by the arrival of a crowd that undertook to monopolize everything from the dancing pavilion to the seed ticks, The crowd was composed of people who thought they were most too good to associate with the others, and the rab came right there. Io the dining room they had people taken from tables they had been occupying for days, to accommodate them and their crowd. Io the danciog ball they would sit down when any of the other crowd was on the floor, and in every possible way essay to snub the otbers, who finally succeeded in forcing them off the floor. Many of those who had been there enjoying the rest and tranquility for which they paid, left for home, and others have written they are coming. The older crowd claim they were all like one big family and had nothing to mar the pleasure of their stay until the other crowd came and undertook to draw social lines, aud deprive every one of privileges that were rightfally bis, unless he or she hap- pened to belong to their ‘‘set."’ The story is given as it is told by some who have returned, and it is hoped is exaggerated. ‘There is no excuse for any party of people to spoil the pleasure of others in a place like that ae we Mr. Bob Robinson, the well known clarionetist, who has always been de- servedly popular in Paducab, has joined the Sixteenth regiment band, and will go straight to Santiago, The other beys will have to goto Fort McPherson, Ga., and. there drill uo- til the become proficient enough to join the regiment in Santiago, which may be some time, owing to the fact that the Sixteenth is composed of regulars. Mr. Robinson has played the clar- ionet here for several years, and at one time was leader of a band. His many friends will wish bim great success as a member of a regimental band. , ois as ‘The Fulton Leader tells this story on Col, W. J. Bryan, who was there with his regiment a day or two ago: Colonel Bryan is famous for his ready wit. but he is equally as gifted in the power to remenber faces and incidents. Many remember the time he came here shortly after the cam~ paign of 96, It was the 18th of Jaouary, 1897, when be arrived un~ expected. The news soon spread and the people flocked to the depot. Mrs. Rev, Hill ran to the train, aod arrived out of breath. Grasping the former candidate's band, she said, “Mr. Bryan, Cbave nearly ran my- self to death, but 1 got here.’” *-Madam,”’ said he, with a twinkle in his eyes, ‘you are more fortunate thaa 1, Last fall 1 nearly ran myself to death and didn’t get there.'’ The incident had been forgotten by many and possibly by Mrs, Hill, but imagine her surprise when on of- fering her hand to Bryan yesterday, he said, ‘Well, you got here allright this time, didn’t you?” % tis Something must be radically wrong, for Councilman J, M. Bzell has been wearing his linen trousers for three days, and there has been no no cool spell yet. t. tut A steamboat man who fell yester- day in a down town saloon and was very ill for some time, had what is known as a ‘‘whiskey fi It looked very much like a case of hydropho- bia, however, as the victim could not bear the sight of water, probably be- cause he was so unaccustomed to it, and every time a glass of it was placed near him be had another fit, A num- ber of people were seen to vanish when the symptoms became known, but the man likely did not bave what he was supposed to have, a8 he has gotten over his aversion to water. + ot The doctors are all complaining that there is no sickness in the city, and that they are all in danger of starving to death, One doctor says that he bas not had a continual case of illness for six week PIANOS AND ORGANS.

Before he turned his attention to navigation by steam, Robert Fulton invented a marine torpedo which he endeavored to dispose of to the United States governmcnt. Succeeding in interesting James Madison, then sec- retary of state, in the matter, he ob- tained a small appropriation from the government for the purpose of con- jueting some public experiments. In the summer of 1806 he invited the high dignitaries and a number of prominent citizens of New York to Governor's Island to see the torpedoes and machinery with which his experi- ments were to be made. While he was lecturing on his blank torpedoes, whieh. were large, empty copper cylin- ders, his numerous auditors crowded tround him. After awhile he turned to a copper case of the same deserip- tion, which was placed under the gate- way of old Castle William, and to which was attached a clockwork lock. Drawing out a peg, Fulton set the tlock in motion, and then he said in solemn tones to his attentive audi- nce: “Gentlemen, this is a charged torpedo, with which, precisely in its present state, I mean to blow upa ves- tel; it contains 170 pounds of gun- wder, and if I were to suffer the clockwork to run 16 minutes, I have no doubt that it would blow this for- tification to atoms.” The circle of humanity which had slosed around the inventor began to tpread out and grew thinner, and be- fore five of the 15 minutes had passed there were but two or three persons remaining under the gateway. Some, indeed, lost no time in getting at the greatest possible distance from the torpedo, and they did not again ap- pear on the ground until they were assured that the engine of destruction was safely lodged in the magazine, whence it had been taken. The local historian of that period remarks: “The conduct of Mr. Fulton’s au- ditors was not very extraordinary or annatural; but bis own composure in- dicated the confidence with which he handled th terrible instrumente of destruction and the reliance he had on the accuracy of the performance of his machinery apprehensions of his friends surprised and amused him, and he took occasion to remark how true it was that fear frequently ose from "—Scientific American. ignorance To Try Government Ownership.

Two young men, it seems, from the north side of the eity, made it up in their minds the other day to goa blackberry bunting. And like the raven which left the ark of old, on their out-going hangs a tale of woe. They had gone several miles when they came upon an old, unoccupied, dilapidated house, such as children sometimes say are haunted. Of this they had a fearful suspicion on first sight, but when they had ventured nearer all manner of groans, as of men dying, came from every corner. By this time the young men were wild with fear. They trembled like the water reflection of the sun’s rays on an old wall and it was even said that one of them fainted. A little courage, however, peveloped the fact tbat it was only a hog bed and that the sight and approach of the men had frightened them into making such distressiogly human sounds. But like the raven too, they brought back nothing to show that they had accomplished their mission.
