mechanism was simply that Of gain.
Thomassen had effected heavy insurance
upon valuables which he pretended to
have shipped by the steamer, and from
these in due time he hoped to secure a
fortune. The premature explosion on
the wharf at Bremen and the miserable
and most righteous death Of Thomassen
are within easy memory. IL Is deeply

Bv g:3O o'clock the visitors had re-
turned to La Union and started in 4
special train 10 return to Havana. The
day had been long and fatiguing one,
and most of the party found a. convlen-
lent positions a. possible for catching a
nap. An hour after starting they were
suddenly aroused by an omlnous joltlng
and rocking of the train, accompanied
by that quivering sensation which any
one who as ever experienced a railroad
catastro1he vii. well remember. Every
one jumped ~ and srasped a seat in an
ticipation of q ,InAsh-up or the upsetting
Of the coaches. Of which there were
two and a baggage car. Whel the train
sud denly stopped there was general
rush for the door, and when nearly every
body else was on the ground gazing
round in the dim starlight, General
Grant appeared at the door of his coach,
CONSPICUOUS in his long white duster
After preparatory puff at his cigar he
asked II any damage had been done.
The ~paniards were very much excited,
and lanterns were brought, showing that
the engine was off the track on one
side. the coaches diagonally across il,
and the rear Of the train of on the
other side. The presence OF mind OF
the engineer in quickly reversing the en-
zine was all that saved a serious accident,
a. in few seconds more the coupling
would have broken and the coaches
probably have rolled down an embank-
ment several feet high.
The engineerperslsted in saying "Toro,

Ii was a toro. Lanterns were taken.
and back about SIX rods by the
side Of the track lay cow, dead. The
fireman, a negro, came hObhling in,
very much demoralized and covered
with blood. The shock had thrown him
from the engine and the stones had cut
his head badly. An ordinary head
would have been clOyen in two by the
fall. but a doctor who was along assured
the man, as il was almost necessary,
that no bones were broken. Ii was a
grave question what tO do. The nearest
station was four miles away and 1t was
necessary to walk the track. \ courier
was sent off and after two hours and a
half of uncertainty another engine ap-
peared with two coaches, in which the
rest Of the night was to be spent. They

The wonderful railroad combination
that have taken place in this country
during the past few months have often
led people TO ask what Is the limit OF
human capacity and endurance IN the
management Of such gigantic business
enterprises. A prominent and intell~
gent citizen Of st. Louis, who has recent
lv returned from a somewhat prolonged
stay In New York, and who was there
associated with some OF the greatest rail-
road men in the country, gives some IN
teresting information on this subject.
He saws that nearly all the men who
figured 80 prominently IN railroad man
agement during the past few years are
failing both mentally and physically,
and that some OF them are already COM
pletely broken down. This l. caused
simply by too much work, and too great
a mental strain. Vanderbilt, who Is not

work for fourteen year.. although in a
comparatively obscure way until two or
three years ago. He Is tall, dark and
spare, with shaggy and grIstlv beard,
piercing little eyes. and an enormous
Roman nose. He is nervous, earnest
and bold. lie has none Of the gifts or

A serious accident occurred TO Frau

the Thalia theater Some time previous
to the ringing up Of the curtain ON the
play Of "kseichen won Hebron" every
seat in the house was taken, and even
standing room was difficult to obtain.
The occasion was the benefit of Fraucin
Trautmann. All went well until the

ton Of somewhat over twenty feet. The
bridge was - fall to pieces, and kaetchen,

into the stream below. Instead Of this,
however, faint quivering of the set
scene was perceptible to those standing
near the wings. The cross was seen 10
suddenly give way. and tie unfortunate
actress fell head foremost into the debris
on the stage. The audience, imagining
that the lad had only played her part,
were amazed at what they supposed to
be a daring feat, and applauded 10 the
echo. Meanwhile Mr.. Schoenfeid and
Mr.. DOmbrOwsky had rushed 10 the

FoR years one Of the chief features o
the Capitol in Washington has been a
little, old Italian fresco painter hanging
in a sling at the top Of the dome, slowly
and painfully transferring to the interior
walls the cartoons representing the
Spanish and Colonial history of our
country. This was Constantine Brumi-
di. For twenty-five years he has labored
on the decorations OF the dome and the
Capitol committee rooms. after. having
nriched with his brush the Vatican, the
grand Cathedral of Mexico and the
great churches of New York City. Bru-

Mackaye's novel theater has been ac'
cepted by fashion as a pretty toy. The
opening play, Hazel Kirke," is barely
successful, but the house is show IN
itself 1t is very small, seating only so
persons IN its parquettc and tao balloon
les. and Is exquisite in its proportion.
and decoration. There j. no dispute OF
its claims to be the handsomest theater
in the world. The double stage works
admirably, waits between acts being
practically done away with, the time
from the fall OF the curtain TO it, rlse
seldom exceeding two minutes. The
play does not begin until $50, which Is
a bad arrangement, for the audience as
semble at the usual hour, and then 30
an amount of waiting that Is as tedious
as 1t would be between acts. The sue
cess of the season thus far has been I'M
tied only by the size of the theater.
