sells are equal to their opportunity
they may do much to remove per

A Strange, EventfuI History.
IFrom the N. Y. Times. |

From the N. Y. Times.]
At Westville, in the township of
Hampstead, live venerable and worthy
couple named Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Mott. The early history of the wife is
particularly romantic and interesting. In
1907, when she was three years old, she
was found on the marsh at Barren
Island, with piece of fat pork in one
hand and a sea-biscuit in the other, by
an old gentleman who Mapped to be fish
ing there. She was taken to the house
of Nicholas Dooley-the only one on the
island at that time-and Mrs. Doolev de-
cided to adopt her and bring her up.
She was named Julia Ann. She remem-
bers when Gibbs, the pirate was on Bar
rem Island, and was supposed to have
buried his ill-gottOn gains there. He
stopped at Mrs. Dooley' house the night
before he and Wansley were captured on
Plum Point. Gibbs afterward confessed
that it was his intention to murder the
family, had not Mr.. Dooley remained
awake all night, with loaded gun with
in reach.
In 1919, when she was only fifteen
years old, Mrs. Dooley's adopted daugh-
ter married Henry Mott, of Rockaway.
Shortly after the marriage, a. Mrs.
Rachel Coles called at the house, and, on
seeing Mrs. Mott, at once exclaimed that
she knew a woman who must have been
her mother, the resemblance was so
strong. Mrs. Coles informed her friend
that she believed she had seen her long
lost daughter. The mother fastened to
Westville, where the couple then resid-
ed, and Immediately recognized her
daughter-the identity being established
by mark resembling q half-moon on one
knee, and hole in one ear. The meet
ing was very afectionate one, and there
was quite sensation in Westville (then
called Northwest Point for few days.
Mrs Mott found that she was the daugh-
ter of John and Henrietta Harvey, of
New York city, well-known family, the
Boston banker, Peter Harvey, being her
uncle. Her name was Henrietta, after
her mother, but she has always been
known as Julia Ann. Her father lived
in Cortlandt street, which was the edge
of marsh. It seems that a Swedish
sailor, who boarded near by, had a diff
Guilty with Mrs. Harvey, and swore to
have revenge. He stole the child while
the mother was at church, and was never
seen again in the Search
was made in every direction, but without
success. Mr.. and Mrs. Dooley died
some years ago, but their old house still
stands on Barren Island Mr.. and Mrs.
Mott have had Is children, all daugh-
tiers, and all, like their mother, of pre-
possessing personal appearance. The
old couple have also great many grand
children and great-grandchildren living.

Railroad Statistics.

There are some eighty-fve thousand
miles of railroad In the United States
operated by some six hundred different
companies. There are over twenty
thousand stations. On these lines are
thirteen thousand locomotives, thirteen
thousand passenger cars, five thousand
baggage, mail and express cars, and
some five hundred thousand freight cars.
No reliable statistics show the number
of men employed ON this eighty-fve
thousand miles of road, BUTT is estimated
that there are about forty thousand en-
gineers and fremen, twenty thousand
passenger train conductors and brake
men, about the same number of baggage,
mail and express men, and at least fifty
thousand men on freight trains. Add
station agents and clerks, train despatch
ers, telegraph operators, yardmen, road
masters, trackmen, wakchmen, hagmen,
freight laborers, machinists, car-builders
and repairers, employees In round
houses and shops, and last, but lot
least, presidents, general managers, SUI
perintendents, the auditors department.,
treasureris department, general ticket
agent and freight department, &C., and
we have almost million men employed
in the railroad business of the United
States. Add to this the number of men
employed in the manufacture of railroad
supplies. In car and locomotive works,
in rolling mills, in cutting ties, &C., and,
perhaps, we could bring the number of
men who derive their living from rail-
roads In our country alone to nearly two
millions
