A Sad Accident.

Mr.. Port Curtis, of New London, formerly
of Wellington, slipped and fell from the ex-
cursion train running to Cleveland last
Monday and was run over, cutting off both
legs, the left near the body, the right below
the knee; his forehead was smashed in and
his head was one mass of bruises and cuts.
The left arm was run over and smashed from
the shoulder to the hand. He was carried to
Mrs. Wells residence. Everything that
was possible was done for him. His in
juries were, of course, fatal, and he lived
about two hours after the accident. His
death. At times consciousness returned
and he understood his condition to some
extent. He was brother of Mrs. Jas. Bel
den, and Mrs. Carr, of Greenwich. Ru-
mors about the cause of the accident are
conflicting and nothing is known with GER
tainty. We understand, however, that he
took the train intending to get off at Wei
lington, but 1t did not stop, it having been
arranged by the company to have the sec
ond section take on the passengers at this
station. Mr.. Curtis was sitting on the
steps of one of the cars as the train passed
through, and whether he slipped off by ac-
cident or was crowded by those on the steps
and platform until he fell, is not known.
He struck the track near the first switch
east of North Main st. His body was
taken to the undertaking rooms of A. G..
& G. L. Couch, who prepared them for
burial.

Later information settles the fact that
Mr.. Curtis started for Wellington, and
when he found the train did not stop, in
sisted upon jumping, though warned by
Mr.. w. F. Daugherty, who went with him
upon the platform, that he would be killed
if he tried to get off, and tried to hold him
back. The Herald account says "he shook
Daugberty off, swung himself off the car
and was drawn under the wheels" II
was evidently a case of mistaken Judge
ment as to the speed of the train and the
condition of the track where he alighted,
it being entirely level and doubtless ap-
pearing very smooth to one going at such
speed, but il was far from il, being CON-
posed of broken stone, and certain to throw
one jumping upon it.
Mr.. Curtis was about IS years Of age,
came to Wellington fifteen years ago and
learned carriage trimming in the employ
of T. Doland, for whom he has worked
most of the time since. He had the re-
spect and confidence of a large circle of
friends and acqusintances who deeply
sympsthize with his wife and family in
this very severe affiiction. The funeral
services were held at the residence Of his
sister, Mrs. James Belden, Tuesday at 2 p.
m, conducted by Rev. F. II. Moore.
Many friends from New London were in
attendance at the services, the music for
which was furnished by some of their
number.

get out not single one could get In

The speaker was very young Old
man. Three or four other young old
men yawningly replied that they did
see the aforesaid old man near the
frog pond, and one remarked that he
was q person who was either "walk-
ing on his uppers" or was a miser.
"Well," confined the first o. y. nj,
"thirty-two years ago that old man
came to Boston with one suspender
and a sore toe. He also had a basket
of apples which farmer in Lexlng-
ton had given to him. He peddled
the apples on Washington street and
netted eighteen cents the first day.
How much do you suppose he's

"Six millions three hundred thOus-

"Not an internal cent, and he still
owes for the basket" was the answer

Mystery OF Missing Men Solved.

One of the best men l eN er knew
here-a man of sixty-tive years, who
loved his home and family dearly,
and had no reason for eccentricity-
slipped away one afternoon, went to
Boston and then to Washington, and
for two years drove a cart there, re-
naming away because he thought
his wife would manage his affairs
better without him. He never in
tended to return, but was seen by
chance, arrested as a lunatic, and
given his choice to be confined in an
ASYLUM or to do bis duty as a man.
He came back, and after two happy
wears at home died in his wife's arms.
In another case that l remember
gentleman was supposed to
have committed suicide by jumping
from steamboat. His wife made no
fuss, but kept the matter quiet, be-
cause she alone never gave up the
idea that his suicide was sham, and
for three years she hunted him down,
and finally restored him to his home
and business. A third case OF which
I had personal knowledge was that
of dry goods merchant who was
absent for twenty years, and who re-
turned wealthy, made himself
known to the wife, who had been
married in the meantime, sought
out his son and presented him with
$40, 900, and then went his way as he
had come. He said he had left home
because he wanted to; had not married
or cared for another home, and liked
the life of a wanderer much better
than any domestic ties. These in.
| stances go to show that the cases OF
alleged mysterious disappearance
may sometimes be accounted fol
without any necessity Of presuppos
ing robbery and murder.-C0r. PHI

To Melt Babblt Metal.

WOrkmen who are accustOmed~1O
mixing or treating metals while In
liquid state, will generally melt such
metal upon u blacksmith's forge by
applying heat so rapidly that the ladle
will become red hot before the metal
within begins to melt. When it Is
melted dross rises to the surface,
and it is SKINNED off by the work
men and thrown away. The skim
ming process is kept up as long rs the
ladle is kept on the fire. Now, such
course Is all wrong, because, by ap-
plying heat tou suddenly, the metals
which fuse at lower degrees of heat
sweat out, and are burned before those
which melt at a higher temperature
become fluid. The dross, as it is
commonly called, which rises to the
surface, is in many cases the
antimeny, or hardening property Of
the alloy, and should not be thrown
away. The surface of the melted
metal should be kept covered with
fine charcoal, which will prevent OK
idation. A small lump of sal ammo
MAC should also he kept upon the
surface of the metal. The metal
should always be stirred before POUR
ing. otherwise the heavier metals will
separate and sink to the bottom of
the ladle, and a constantly varying
quality of metal will be the result.
BY melting the metal slowly and
keeping it properly fluxed as de-
scribed, it will run sharp, each cast
ing will be uniform throughout, and
the metal be of equal hardness. In
observing these simple precautions,
much of the dissatisfaction now ex-
perienced in using Babbitt and other
anti-friction metals will disappear,
and the metal not be condemned be-,
cause it simply obeys the laws Of ma
ture and separates when improperly
treated.-C0tton, Wool and Iron.

The Engineer at a Concert.

the oldest locomotive engineers run
ming into New Orleans, land as I
had nothing to do I dropped into a
concert and heard a slick-looking
Frenchman play piano in q way
that made me feel all over in spots.
As soon as he sat down on the stool
I knew by the way he handled him.
self that he understood the machine
he was running. He tapped the keys
away up one end, just as if they were
guages, and wanted to see if he had
water enough. Then he looked up as
ifhe wanted to know how much steam
he was carrying, and the next mo-
ment he pulled open the throttle and
sailed out on the main line, just as if
he was half an hour late. You could
hear her thunder over culverts and
bridges, and getting faster and faster,
until the fellow rocked about in his
seat like a cradle. Somehow I
thought it was old 1867 pulling pas

worked the keys on the middle divi-

along the north end of the line until
the drivers went around like buzz

time 1 was fixing to tell him to cut
her off a little, he kicked the damp
ers under the machine wide open,
pulled the throttle away back in the
tender, and, Jerusalem, jumpers !!
how did he run. I couldn't stand it
any longer, and yelled to him that
she was pounding on the left side,
and if he wasn't careful he'd drop
his ash pan. But he didn't hear.
No one heard me. Everything was
flying and whizzing. Telegraph
poles on the side of the track looked
like q row of corn-stalks, the trees
appeared to be mud bank, and all
the time the exhaust of the old
machine sounded like the hum of a
humble bee. I tried to yell out, but
my tongue wouldn't move. He
went around curves like a bullet,

soft plug, went down grade fifty feet
to the mile and not a confounded
