TRUE HEROiSM.
The Man Who Saved Train from De.
strucuOn-HImselfB Badly Injured.

New York, Nov. %.
Another splendid example of bravery and
devotion to duty was shown during the storm
Sunday night, on the Hudson River railroad.
few minutes after o'clock, as the Chicago
express. bound for this city, thundered out
from the south end of the tunnel through St,
Anthony's Nose, an explosion of torpedoes
warned the engineer and passengers that
danger was imminent The train was soon
stopped and an investigation made. The
violent gale which was raging and the splash
ing of the river close by the train first sug-
gested that the track had been washed away.
but it was soon discovered that the signal
tower at Highlands station had been blown
down and lay across the track, and under its
ruins lay the body of John Callahan. the
brave signal man who had faced death to
perform his duty. Efforts were first made to
extricate the body, and willing hands made
as quick work as possible The poor fellow
was carefully removed into the baggage car.
All was done for him possible and before the
wreck was cleared away he recovered enough
for the train Officers TO learn something of
the occurrence. 1t was gathered from his
occasional attempts at explanation, that the
sure it would go over He went up the road
and set the tnrpedoes Then he returned to
the tower to attend to his signal and was
buried in the ruins when the gale demolished
the structure. How long before the train
arrived at the spot where the torpedoes had
been set was not ascertained Callahan's
condition is precarious handsome sum
was rained by the passengers on the train

THE COMING SESSION.
House Committee on Appropriations Met
To-day. at the Capitol, TO Map
Their Work.

WASHINGTON. Nov. %.
The House committee on appropriations
met today, at the Capitol, TO map their work
for the coming session of Congress. Chair
man Randall and Messrs. Ellis, Townshend,
Fallett, and Ryan were present. Estimates
Tor six of the annual bills. namely, postofiice,
Indian, consular and diplomatic, army. navy,
and military academy. were placed ia the
hands of the sub-comnissioners and il is
expected one or more of these measures will
be in readiness for consideration by the whole
committee when the session begins, next
Monday. Randall will have conference with
the secretary of the navy, tomorrow, subject
To the navy appropriation for the final six
months of the current fiscal year. Ii is
thought probable that the last years appro-
priations will be continued Cor that period as
was done last session for the six months from
July Isl, and thus the question of making an
approprion for the proposed new cruisers, on
which the two houses came to deadlock,
will be left for the next Congress. Randall,
however, would not express his opinion on
the subject, or As to any part of the policy of
the committee, remarking simply he did not
vet know what would be done.

but the Times will state that it showed Brand

was credited with on the tally sheet, while
Leeman received a correspondingly less,
making Brands majority in that precinct
about 60 instead OF 10. That the ballots
were all in proper order and consecutiyely
numbered, and that the excess of Brands
vote over that of the other democrats on the
ticket was due TO the presence of some one
hundred republican tickets which contained
Brands name, printed in the regular form
with the rest of the ticket.

been known for years, but it was never

five of them, one above the other. The
lower one was explored a distance of mile
and the upper one two miles. There is a
small stream Of water in the lower one, but
the upper one is comparatively dry. The
rooms are large and have evidently been

one. evidence of fire was found and remnants
of bones. which will be brought out and sent

cave is almost in the line Of the new West

A CONTESTED WILL.
A Bereaved Lady Seeks the Fortune of
Her Departed Lover, Through
Forgery.
ROsToN. Nov. 25.

BosToN, Nov. %.
The contested will case of Martin Mimore
sculptor. was before Suffolk county probate
court today. MIR. Milmore died in July,
1882, leaving will disposing of about $780,
600 worth of property, most of which was
bequeathed to his mother. since deceased, and
his brother Joseph. This will was probated
and many of the provisions have been car
ried out. Subsequently the counsel for Mr.
Milmore, received in an anonymous manner,
another will purporting to have been made by
the deceased six months after the first one
was executed. Many provisions of the second
were similar to the first. the material differ
ence being that Miss Mary +. Hanley, to
whom Milmore was engaged, who was to re-
ceive $4,000 by the first will, was by the Sec
oud given all the personal property and a
large amount of the real estate, amounting
to about S50, 900. The latter will be believed
to be forgery. Several hearings have been
held but the witnesses to the alleged second
will never appear. Several experts testified
today that signature of Milmore was evidently
forgery and the names of the witnesses had
apparently been written by the same hand.
On this testimony the judge found that Mil
more did not execute the will, and it was
disallowed.

CORRESPONDENCE
The Way in Which Roscoe COnkiing
Offered His Services 10 The Dpm-
Ocratic Committee.

New YORK, Nov. %.
The following is the correspondence that
took place when Conkling's service as counsel
were sought by the democratic committee:
NEW YORK, Nov. s, 1884.
My dear sir-There seems to be reason to
apprehend a design to involve in litigation
and uncertainty the presidential election in
this State and perhaps elsewhere. The DEM
Ocratic committee have no doubt of the result
of the election, and wish to establish the
exact truth IN the mode prescribed by law
At the same time the wish is strong to spare
the country period of agitation and excite
ment We ask you as counsel to give such
advice and suggest such action as will aid in
prompt and lawful ascertainment of the
truth. This is all we mean ourselves and all
we shall expect of you.
Yours truly,
w. +. SMITH,
Chairman executive committee
Hon. Roscoe Conkling, No. Wall street,
New York city.
NEW YORK. Nov. 10.
My dear sir-Your letter has been care
fully considered. / am in full accord with
the purpose you declare. Nothing could be
more plainly hurtful to the State of New
York and the country than a successful
attempt to confuse and ensnare the result of
the late presidential election. The modes of
law, quietly and honestly observed, will
quickly reveal and establish the actual truth
TO assist in assuring this is a clear duty
resting on every citizen regardless of his
party attachments. | am at the service OF
your committee for all in my power in this
behalf and for all | can do to prevent and
oppose any effort to dispute by technicalities
the verdict which has been rendered or to
hinder or delay It's acceptance.
Your obedient servant.
Roscoe CoNKLING.
