81 Go with MY Engine "A story OF
Modern Aerotsm.

From the N. Y. SUM-
Dave Simmons was the engineer of the
Pacific express train. He was true
man. For twenty years,he held place
on an engine. Years ago, while dashing
past Yonkers, Simmons called the at
tention Of his fireman to a train that
was sweeping down upon them like the
wind. A collision seemed inevitable.
The frightened fireman shouted, Good
by, Doc; I'm agoing to jumpW and
sprang from the locomotive. Simmons
stood with his had upon the throttle Of
his engine like man Of iron. In the
hour Of startling peril he stood at his
post. A collision was ayerted, and the
heroic engineer saved the lives OF hun
dred.
On Monday night David Simmons Yves
driving his engine toward Albany at the
rate of forty miles an hour. Near New
Hamburg a red light was swung out as
from an approaching train. The engi-
neer saw it. 1t was the signal Of danger.
David Simmons whistled down the breaks
in the vain hope of stopping the express
in time. His fireman again took the
alarm, and shouted to Simmons to leap
for life. The noble Simmons calmly
answered, ~ won't; I'll stay with my
engine" Again he stood like man Of
iron at his post The fireman sprang
and saved his life. The engineer saw a
train on the bridge. He realized that
his only hope of safety was to dash
through the obstruction. He whistled
off the breaks and crowded on all steam.
This was the work of an instant. Sim
mons peered into the darkness, shading
his eyes with his hand, and was dashed
into the jaws of death.
David Simmons was a hero. His fate
is sad; but his noble behavior is the only
bright page in the dark history Of the
awful accident at New Hamburger.

There is very little doing in the. gene

in prices. Receipts of produce and grain
Of all kinds are more liberal, and with

COTTON.

Sales yesterday were 1900 bales, the
market closing weak. To-day, the weather
being gloomy and dark, and there being
but few orders not filed, there is scarcely
any demand. Sellers, however, judging
from the tone of the Eastern and for
eign dispatches, are not disposed to
make any great concessions, even should
the demand justify it, and anticipate an
advance in both markets Sales reported
up to noon were 1856 bales, embracing

The demand for money is somewhat
inactive and irregular. There is some
tendency to a closer working in none
tary affairs, but not so as to occasion
any perceptible stringeney, though the
sources which have supplied the volume
of currency are gradually diminishing.
The wants of the mercantile community
are restricted, and as no large amounts
of capital are required for speculative
purposes, the banks are able to discount
all undoubted paper offering at TO IL
per cent. Accommodation for No. |
business paper in the open market can
be had at from l to IA per cent. per
month. Exchange is quiet. Eastern
commercial bills are taken at the usual
rates of discount, and checking rates are
unchanged. Local stocks, scrips and
securities are quiet, and, excepting a
slightly improved demand for Tennessee
money, there are are no changes to note.
Gold is bought at ll0l to ll0l, and sold
at lll2. Owing to the rain storm pre-
vailing East, we are without our late
Eastern dispatches.
