A strange Accident to the Engine.

A remarkable accident happened to a
train near GAINESVILLE, Ohio, the other day.
The train was running at rapid rate of
speed, when suddenly there was heard a
sharp crack, and in moment the driving
rods, which had broken on both sides of the
engine, went WhizZing around, making a
whistlng noise as they whirled through the
the air. They beat the locomotive until it
fairly groaned with PAIN, battering 1t up
and defacing it fesrfully. Striking the
breast-plate the rods glanced off, and re-
turning to the attack like an enraged ami
NAL they assaulted the cab from beneath,
and with one desperate blow cut II virtually
in two. John Moore, the engineer, who
was inside the cab, was flung into the cir
as if by whirlwind, lighting on top of the
severed cab In an almost insensible condi-
ton. He was badly iammed up, but not
seriously hurt, the breast-plate alone having
saved hum from being cut in twain. MIR.
McKelvy, the fireman, retaining his pres
ence of mind, picked Moore up, and re-
moved him out of harms way, and then
put on the air brakes, but they were use
less, having also been cut in two by the
flying rods. He then raj ed the throttle of
the thoroughly wounded engine, and man.
aged to get from it a painful whistle of
''down brakes, and the tram was stopped.
In about forty minutes the damage was re-
paired sufficiently to renew the trip to
GAINESVILLE, the heroic engineer and fireman
managing the crippled locomotive as best
they could.

AT mid-fOrenoon recently, man who
was crossing Woodward avenue at Con-
gress street, Detroit, suddenly began 10 paw
the air with his hands and perform divers
strange antics with his feet. and after TAX
ing plenty of time about it he came down
IN a heap. More than fifty people saw the
performance, and there was general
laugh. 1t had not yet ceased when man
with funereal countenance pushed his way
into the crowd and asked:

'It's JONES'" answered voice.

The soOundrel he was After,

A well-dressed Galveston gentleman
found himself in very embarrassing situa-
ton the other day. He had left his money
at home, and not a nickel or a car ticket
could he find anywhere in his clothing.
He was about to leave the ear when per-
feet stranger with sinister cast of counte-
nance rendered the gentleman nickel,
who gladly accepted 1t and dropped it into
the box. The gentleman then shook his
unknown benefactor by the hand, thanking
him for the confidence and accommodation,
and asking for his address SO as to return
the money. ''Never mind, responded the
generous man, fercely, it's counter
felt. anyhow. The street car company
will make that driver redeem it. They
will dock his wages I've got no spite at
you. He is the scoundrel am after. He
trifed with the affections of my sister, but
tins will show him what sort of man /
am when my blood is up.

4 STAR BEHIND THE CLOUD.

nc matter now dark the night
NO matter how dark the clouds may be,
Up in the shrouded sky,
Hidden from Watching eye,
Glitters a star for me.
Silvery bright and clear,
Out IN the fields of fadeless blue,
Needless OF cloud and rain,
Fearless Of death and pain.
Golden stars in their silent sphere
Twinkle and burn for you.
Summer and Winter the same
No matter il storm-olouds surge and roll
Like waves on the fren2ied sea
In Heavens bright gallery
Twinkle and glow, with quenchless flame
These types Of the soul
No matter how dark thy life:
No matter how gloomy thy watch may be,
Mid sorrow, and pain, and care,
Still watching thee everywhere
Back of the curtain OF earthly strife,
Twnkles star for thee

Track laying on the b. T.. Il. s. n.
Railroad is said to have commenced III
earnest thre. sets Of hands being at
work, one set working north from
Clarion, the others working either way
from L,vermore. If this is true it will
be but few weeks till the breath of the
iron horse will be visible to the eye Of
the anxious Emmetsburger.
The Spirit Lake Beacon of last week
has the following items concerning the
Burlington road:
s. L. Bows and Mr.. Ellsworth, Right
of-way Agent, were in town a few hours
this week looking after interests of the
b. 9. r. & n. Mr.. Dows gives i very
cheering account of progress all along
the construction works, and, putting
this and that together, the Beacon on
its own judgment predicts that the iron
horse will drink out Of Spirit Lake be-
tore the year closes.
THE DEPOT.-The vexed question re-
lating to the location of the Burlington
depot is now practically settled. Chief
Engineer Clark yesterday made An esti-
mate Of the amount Of land required for
depot purposes and approximately es-
IttDIIoIicU tue lIutS ~ INo lOC1ClOn de-
sired on Mrs. Barkman's farm, and the
tract was at once rendered the Chief
Engineer for his company. The amount
required is little less than six acres.
The matter will be laid before the Off
Gals of the line, and at at early day,
we doubt not. this location will be made
permanent. This knowledge will graf
ify our citizens generally, for the unset
tied condition of this depot matter has
shaken the confidence Of number of
men who wanted to invest in the town.
THE NARROW GUAaE.-The survey
on this line mentioned last week cross
ed the East OkobOji at the bridge east
of town, and joined the Burlington line
about 100 rods north of the court house,
where it rested.
This week a new line WAS run from
point near Lil,ywhite Lodge. on Spirit
Lake, down between the Okobojis to
Milford.
The incorporated town of Spirit Lake
voted a tax of FIVE per cent. to this read
last Tuesday almost unanimously.
President Polk will be with our peO-
pie soon. when we hope to I've able to an
nounce important developments in con-
! nection with this project Beacon.

STEAM AIR AND NAPTxIA.

STEAM AK AMI NI1|4AA'
The St. Paul Pioneer Press mentions
the invention of Herman S. Sar0ni, of
that city, for the use of steam, air and
naptha or crude petroleum, as fuel.
The process is thus described:
lie conducts very fine stream of
,naptha from il reservoir through small
pipe and nozzle into an air chamber.
At right angles to this small nozzle and
very close to it, another similar nozzle
furnished a jet Of super heated steam.
The two combined receive air through
openings into the chamber, where the
naptha, steam aud air combined are
converted into vapor and forced
through numberless small orifices i'll a
net work Of pipes, and this vapor burns
AS it energies into the fire box with an
intense white heat. This heat can be
increased or diminished by the mere
turn Of Il faucet or stop-cOck, increas-
ing or decreasing the flow of 2aptha or
steam and by the same means can be
Instantly cxtinguished.
This is the third invention of the kind
before the public, viz: ~ Hollands,
using naptl,a and water;(2) Prof. Hum
AStOu 3, uSlns llApInd "AtIOUt "ate1'
and ~ Saroni's, using naptha, steam
and air.
With these new processes and Edi-
sons inventions for utilizing lightning,
the world will soon be able to dispense
with coal. wood and other fogy kinds
of fuel and use air, water and light
ming, which are inexhaustible and free,
for all heating and illuminating pur-
poses. 1t will soon be so that single
turn of a faucet will start an engine,
cook dinner or light a city.

TIE EAU GALLO HUNT.

The hunt for the Williams Brothers
which has been going Oh in the Eau
Gale woods OF Wisconsin for three or
four weeks, las in it something OF more
than temporary significance: The hunt
for aud capture Of the Younger Broth
ers in Minnesota few years ago, gave
warning to all Southern outlaws that
they could not penetrate the North
west and introduce Texas and Missouri
highway robbery in our midst. without
meeting with sure and swift punish
ment. The hunt for the Williams broth
ers tends to repeat the lesson and says
to local or Northern desperadoes that
home bandits and murderers shall fare
no better than foreign ones.
If the Southern people were as unit
ed and determined as the people OF the
Northwest in hunting down despera-
does, the Youngers, and Jameses, and
other gangs, who for years have main
tanned Il regular system of robbery and
murder in the Southwest, would aoon
be broken up and the Internal system
would be wiped out.

nited in q request to Judge Start, who
wss appointed to take Judge Mitchell's
place when tho latter went to the 81"

a good one in times like these, and We
hope it will he followed in our own dis

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION.


The ADVANCE said in the first issue
after the President was shot, 'Garfield
will live." If he dies from the effects
Of the shot, of course, we shall be mis-
taken in our guess. But we have had
from the first a settled expectation of
his recovery based upon the fact that
lie is a man of strong constitution and
pure antecedents and upon acknowledge
of the further fact that many a poor
soldier boy was shot ''all 10 pieces"a
good deal more than Garfield and yet
recovered without tenth part of the
attention and skill which are lavished
upon the President.
In common with fifty millions of 9TH
er people we hope anxiously for his re-
covery and take lively interest in the
daily dispatches concerning his condi-
ton, but we bogin to be amused and a
little disgusted at the immense mass Ct
peurile details, opinions, etc., which are
daily sent over the wires. Many of
them are about rs sensible and import
