JOKE ON A RAILROAD.
Farmers Clever Device for Stopping
the Trains in Front of His Farm.

A Farmers Clever Device for Stopping
the Trains in Front of His Farm.
Grain Talk" in the Chicago Herald.
Eve made a singular discovery the
other day, remarked an official of a
road running into Chicago. about
three miles beyond certain station on
our line there is a farmhouse by the
side of the track. just beyond the
farm house is little creek over which
there is I small bridge About four
years ago some repairs were made to
that little bridge, and, of course, the
bridge gang had put up a sign board,
Run Slow on either side during the
day or so the bridge was weakened.
When they had finished their work
they went off and forgot the signs.
The fact is, the boards had disappeared,
and they didn't take the trouble to hunt
them up.
Some weeks afterward, no one knows
just when, those signs reappeared in
their former places. Nobody knew
who put them there, or what for. No
body cared If the section men noticed
them at all they thought the bridge
men had done it. It was none of the
engineers business why they We're there
1T was their duty to observe regula-
lions, which require them to slow down
1t such signs. Observe regulations
they did For about four years not a
train had passed over that little bridge
without slowing almost to o standstill.
The culvert, for that's all it is, has been
as safe as any part of the roadbed,
and yet stopping and starting trains
there has cost this company thousands
of dollars. You know, it costs money
to stop and start trains. You are won
dering how it all comes about of course.
Well, that farmer stole those boards
and put them up again at his leisure.
For four years lie has been gong into
the town or coming from it on our trains,
getting on or off right at his own door.
1t was a slick scheme, and how he must
have laughed at us and enjoyed it all
the while But his game is up now,
and the engineers are having their re-
venge by keeping up an Internal screech-
ing of their Whistles at all hours of the
day and night whenever they pass that
farmh ouse.

In Pickens county, Georgia, new
source of marble supply for all purpos-
es is aboutto be opened to the market.
The Industrial World notes the projec-
ted development, by northern capital
lists, of section of marble deposits in
the above named county, where, it is
claimed. the drillings thus far expose
enough marble to build the principal
cities of the Union. The deposits,
which are found in strata and solid
masses, are reported to embrace almost
every known variety found IN America,
and are of the best quality. The mar
BILE works easily, but IS somewhat hard

a section where labor is cheap. and
where the climate permits to be worked
all the year round. this promises to be
an important addition to the thriving
industrial development OF Georgia.

for vice president,

Among those who are universally con-
dark horses, in the coming presidential
election for nomination, none is conced-
ed a more prominent place than Senator
George F. Edmunds of Vermont. As a
lawyer, statesman and debater, he ranks
among the highest in the land. The coun-
try hears from him on all great public
questions, which do not seem to have
been thoroughly discussed until the il
Elimination of his learning, cool judg-
ment and perspicuous statement have
been brought to bear upon them. He is
genial man, warm and constant in his
friendships as is seen in the brotherly as
ISOLATION with ex-senator Thurman of
Ohio. That he is a man against whose
fair name calumny would be powerless,
needs not to be said. In 1880 several
leading newspapers strongly urged his
nomination for the presidency, as some
of the more conservative are now doing.
Senator Edmunds is Il Vermonter by
! birth, having been born at Richmond,
| Feb. l, 1928. He received public school
education, read law and was admitted to
! the bar At 2G years of age he was
! elected to the state legislature and con-
years, during three of which, he served
as speaker Of the house. In 1861 and
1862 he acted as temporary presiding of
ficer in the senate of Vermont. His seat
in the U. S. senate has been held contin-
uOusly since 1866, when he received an
appointment to fill the vacancy created by
the death Of Solomon Foote. On the
resignation of David Davis rs the presi
dent of the senate, he was elected to sue
coed him, and is, in consequence, to-day
acting as vice president of the United
States. No public man commands great
er respect than Senator Edmunds. Hi:
honors are universally felt to be due t.
his superior talents, exemplary diligenc'
and exalted character. The recent lette
of William Walter Phelps, calculated t.
injure him in the estimation of the public
but his dgnifled answer to its insinua
lions has given his candidacy a boon
! rather than a backset. He has respect
fully stated that he is candidate for n
public office, higher than that which he
filing at the present moment with 81
: much dignity and ability. He is emphat
tically safe man, he is not narrow or ur
fair, and is regarded by the opposite pal
( ty with respect as nearly like veneratio
y with which his own party regards him a
the circumstances of political oppositio
, will admit of.
