AN alleged train-wrecker, Albert
Tackleberry, in custody at London,
Ont, is a youth of some sixteen years,
who came from Chicago. He admits
having placed distractions on the

the conductors and brakemen squirted
and poured oil on him when they
caught him stealing rides. He is
awaiting trial on two indictments.

The Springfield (Mass.) Union re-
lates thissincident: GA man from this
city, with his bride, made sensation
at the Westfeld depot yesterday.

dog. Rushing back he asked the
lady for money to pay the doctor,
whom he must see instanter. The
woman was disguised and declared she
was tired of paying out money for him.
He ventured to inquire if she was not
his wife, whereupon she repudiated the
idea with scorn, saying the only claim
he had upon her was certificate which
she herself had to pay for. This was

the train for New Hayen,h
