ted about the waist and abdomen, and it
is thought that the sharp, thin wires were
the cause OF it. s.se
The obsequies were very solemn and i'm
pressive. The body lay in a handsome
casket, at his late residence on Thirty-sec-
ond street, and around it were gathered
his intimate friends, and many of his COM
rades on the road. He had parted with
them on the night of his death SO full of
life and spirits. and as he mounted the en-
gine that carried him to death, had sent
back-so little did they think for the last
time-his usual "bye-bye, boys;" and
now to see him lying there, and remem-
bering this, was it strange that they-so
little accustomed to the shedding Of tears
should weep j" Goodbye, Doc. said
one sturdy engineer, you are gone, but
the boys II take care of your family they
shant suffer- The last farewells of his
loving wife, and his father, brother and
his sister were agonizing. On arriv-
ing at the church, the casket was borne in
by eight OF his late associates and after
the ceremony. was removed to the goth
street depot, where a special train was in
waiting to convey the cortege to Trinity
Cemetary, on 152d street. The train con-
sisted OF the engine, baggage-car, and five
coaches. The body was placed in the
baggage-car; the relatives occupied the
first coach, and the others were filled with
the accompanying friends. The engine
was draped with white and black Grape,
the bell muffled, and upon the sand-box
were the letters E. II. s. in white, on
the black background. Superintendent
Toucey and Master-Mechanic Buchanan
accompanied the train, as also did many
engineers and firemen from other roads

THE BRAVE ENGINEER.

The body of the heroic engineer, Doc.
Simmons, and also that of the hitherto un-
known companion who was riding on the
locomotive at the time of the Hamburg
catastrophe, was found on Sunday morn
ing by submarine diver embedded in
the debris south of where the engine laid,
and under the tender. The diver disap-
peared below the surface of the water at
an early hour, and after an absence of
thirty-four minutes he reappeared with
poor Does liieless form in his arms. The
body was at once recognized by many of
the dead engineers friends who stood
around, and tears flowed from many an
eye. The head mans story of his stern
performance of duty, and his heroic at
tempt to save the lives of his passengers,
had already been told in the reversed lev
er and the open throttle valve, but it had
not been told how tearlessly he must have
met his death That was seen at glance
as the palld features of the corpse came
to view. Cold, stern, and rigid was the
face no distortion, no apparent agony.
Silently, grief-stricken friends and COM
rades bore his remains to dry land. No
mutlation, no scars nor gashes he must
have been drowned. On the body of
Doc. s companion were found papers and
letters recommending him as locomo-
tive engineer, and card of membership
attaching him to the Engineers Brother
hood, thus insuring his life under the
terms of the brotherhood. On all the
letters and papers, and upon the brother
hood card, his name YVES written as James
Humphrey, of Carmansville, Pennsylva-
mia, and thus was the anxious question of
''who was on the engine with Doc. Sim
mons" solved. He and his friend, Doc.
must have gone down together. and as
the engine toppled over with them it
caught the telegraph wires which were
also carried down, and the bodies of the
dead engineers became entangled in them.
Humphreys body was shockingly mutila-

that is, any part of one Watch is exactly

Watches of one grade we're taken apart,

Paralysis Cause Of Kleptomania.

Some celebrated European physi-
clans, applying the doctrine of the
conservation and correlation of
forces to moral mania, have recently
contributed somo important articles
to medical science, showing that
certain physical diseases are the &C
tual causes Of kleptomania. Prit-
chard cites the case of the wife Of a
man of fortune, who was in the
habit of stealing on all occasions
whenever she visited shops. In this
case, paralysis (partial) and soften
ing of the brain existed. The hus.
band was SO overwhelmed with griei
and shame that he left the fascina-
tons of the city, and banished him.
self to the country, where there
were no shops, but the mania
renamed. 1t Is a curious fact that
in one stage of paralysis delusion
always exists in the mind of the
sufferer that what he steals is his
own property, or has been stolen
from him, and that he merely
reclaimS his own. Sometimes Inc
imagines that God orders him to
steal. Paralysis is sure to cause
stealing in some shape or other
and stealing, indeed, may be some
times regarded as symptom Of
the disease. This is an important
subject, and one of unusual interest,
worthy of the careful investigation
Of the medical scientist.

OBLIGATIONS OF COMMON CARRIERS

The Chicago Post thus speaks of
the obligations of common carriers:
Whether the great fire was "the act
OF God" or primarily the act of a
bovine, it cannot exempt common
carriers from their legal liability for
obligations incurred in the way of
business. The shipper who holds
a receipt, or without one, who can
prove delivery of goods, unless
upon special agreement, has an in
disputable legal claim for any losses.
The doctrine often works hardship
in particular cases, but it would be
amuch greater hardship to vary the
rule Of absolute liability which car
riers incur in their ordinary avoca-
ton. Ages of experience have
sancti6ed the law. Our contempora-
rles In the country who seem to be
giving way to fears on the subject
need apprehend' no difficulty in
these cases, even if there is delay.
Railroad companies are not likely
to seriously take position they
cannot maintain in court. In taking
goods or passengers, for hire, they
take the legal responsibilities in
volved, and cannot evade them.
The extent of a confagration has
nothing to do with the question, and
is no more the "act of God" than
the burning of single building. 1t
would take volcanic eruption to
change this rule.

"A schoolmaster in the country
advertises that he will keep a Sum
day school twice a week.
1t is a popular delusion to be-
lieve that powder on lady's face
has the same effect as in the pan Of
a musket-assists her to 60 off.
The most remarkable case Of
indecision we ever heard of, was
that of a man who sat up all night,
because he could not decide which
to take off first, his coat or his
boots.
In what two cases are precisely
the same means used for directly
opposite purposes /? Why, bars to
be sure. They are put on bank
windows to keep thieves out, and
on Jail windows to keep them in.
"A young lady is charged with
having said, that if a cart wheel has
nine felloes. it's a pity if a pretty
girl like her can't have one.
"A retired schoolmaster excuses
his passion for angling by saying
that, from constant habit, he never
feels quite himself unless he's hand
ling the rod.
What gentleman can with any
sense of propriety, ask a fat woman
to lean on his arm.
1t has been ascertained that
the man who held on to the last
was a shoemaker.
"A good sermon is like kiss.
1t requires but two heads and an
application.
A gentleman whose daughter
had married man by the name of
Price, was congratulated by one of
his friends, who remarked.
Il am glad to see your have got a
good price for you daughter"
"A certain editor in speaking Of
the miseries of Ireland, says,
'1reland's cup of misery has been
for ages overlooking, and seems to
be not yet full"
The country member who so
frequently rises to pint of order,
invariably sits down again to q
quart OF "suthin wet"
"A man very much intoxicated
was sent to jail. "Why did you not
bail him out ?" inquired bystander
OF a friend. "Bail him out !" ex-
claimed the other "Why you
couldn't pump him out"
"Ma, if you will give me an apple,
1 will be good" ''No my child, you
must not be good for pay-you
ought to be good for nothing"
At Sunday school examina-
ton, the teacher asked boy
whether he could forgive those who
wronged him. "Could you," said
the teacher, forgive boy, for ex-
ample, who has insulted or struck
you ?" "Y-e-e-s, sir" replied the
lad very slowly ri think, -I-could,
