COLUMBUS, o., March 29.-The train men
and passengers who arrived here after mid
night, give the following account of the
mobs at Loveland and Morrow, and the
effort to get Berner, the murderer, to Column
bus. The two deputies, with Berner, drove
from Cincinnati over to Linwood, and there
took the accommodation for Loveland. This
part of the journey was made without acct
dent. Joe Moses was then to go to the Lit
tie Miami depot and quietly board the train
for Columbus and join two deputies at Love
land. When the Little Miami train pulled
into Loveland, Berner was placed in the car
next to the sleeper before the train had
come to a full stop. Two deputies
sat near him, but did not have him fastened
70 them. Joe Moses sat in the next car in
advance. AS the train came to stop
bowling mob of nearly 300 men made dash
for the cars, yelling, "There he is; catch

There is no sign yet of the Fourth regi-

were scattered, and when Col Harper's order
arrived the colonel commanding was unable
to get the troops together. 1t is evident the
mob must be permitted to enter the Jail, or
the power of the state must be put forth
with much greater vigor before the end of
this trouble is reached.

The Cost OF Running a Train.

AS the passenger sits at car window
and sees the mile posts whirl past, be
seldom stops to reflect what it has cost
the company TO pull the train a mile.
A party of gentlemen, some of them
experienced business men, sat in the
lobby of the Kennard House Yesterday,
when the question as to the cost of run
ming an ordinarily heavy passenger
train was raised. Several of them made
estimates, but every one of them was
far below the amount. The average
cost of running an ordinary passenger
train Of from six to ten coaches is from
81 to $l.25 mile. This NAV seem
large at first, but when the several items
are taken into account one will suspect,
after all, that the estimate is too small.
One of the principal items is the run
ming of the locomotive. 1t has been
the study of master mechanics to re-
duce the cost of running an engine, and
each claims to be little closer in his
calculations than the other The aver
age cost during January of running
the engines on the Bee Line, for exam
pie, was 1917 cents per mile
Freight engines run at cost per mile
of 1913 cents. Passenger engines cost
less, viz, 1924 cents per mile; while
switch engines, which are credited with
so much mileage per day, regardless of
the distances run, are run at so low a
cost as to reduce the average to 1917
cents per mile The engines ran "a. GO
miles to ton of coal, and 1888 miles
to pint of oil.
Added to the expense of motive
power is the outlay for wear and tear
of cars; it is estimated that it costs
three cents mile to keep a sleeping
car running, and the wages of train
hands, etc. The expense from the item
of wear and tear is increased by an in
crease of the speed of train. The
special trains on the Lake Shore, run
ming at speed of about forty miles an
hour, and the fast mail, at about thirty
seven miles, are the most expensive
trains on that line. 1t is not generally
known what the Government pays the
Lake Shore people for running the fast
mail from New York to Chicago, but
it ought to receive at least $500 to fully
compensate it, Another little item oil
railway operation is the expense o.
stopping and starting train, which al
experienced railroad man said yester
day could not be effected at less eX
pense than from eighteen to twenty-five
cents at each stop. CieUela22d Herald

An italian Superstition.

One of the most curious of the many
stories connected with the more modern
phase of the Noce di Benevento is that
of q man of some note and property
living in the little commune of Cane
morto, near Rieti, to whom it was re-
ported that his wife attended these
mysterious night-gatheringS, notwith-
standing the distance at which they
resided from Beneyento. The wife
succeeded for long time in evading
ell the inquiries he directed to the point,
but one day-when, instead of mena-
cling her, he treated the matter as though
it interested him and he desired to be
initiated into the mysteries not
only took him into confidence but en-
cited his imagination 50 much with the
tale of the joys of the swift ride
through the air, the sumptuous BAN
quets and enchanting dances at the
journeys end, that, in part because she
had raised his desires, and in part be-
cause be felt unable to credit her story
without personal experience, he cop
sented to accompany her on the Deco
sion of her next attendance at the
weird entertainment. When the day
came round he found that she had not
overstated the case. The dance of the
witches was astounding; nothing could
be more appetizing than the scent of
the viands spread out in abundance
upon the soil. One only thing which
married the feast was the absence of salt:
at his wife's instance, however, even
this was procured. When it arrived he
at sight happened to eXclaim, ''Ha, the
salt has come at last, thankGodm. At
sound of the holy name the whole scene,
witches, broom-torches, and viands
disappeared in the twinkling of an eye,
and nothing remained for the unlucky
husband but to pass the remainder of
the night in BLACKLIST darkness on the
cold ground. In the morning, falling
in with some country people, who wore
a costume and spoke a dialect to which
he was unaccustomed, he learned that
he was indeed at Beneyento, though he
had gone to bed at Canemorto. All
these facts he declared on his oath be-
fore the Judges Of Rieti, nor could they
by any means shake his depositions.-

The Wood Family Horse,

John M. Wood, of Washington, Ga. =,
had horse that he thought the world
and all of, Notwithstanding it was too
old for any use-not being able to eat
anything but corn-meal Cruel The
other morning, finding it dead in the
stable, he ordered a coffin for it and
sent out notices of the funeral. There
was large concourse of people present
some attracted by the novelty of the
affair and others out of respect for the
old horse, which was known far and
near on account of his many virtues.
1t had borne Mr.. Woods father through
all the campaigns from the Ohio to Sa-
vannah, and was surrendered by John
ston TO Sherman at Greenville, but i'm
mediately returned TO Mr. Wood in COM
pliance with Shermans orders that all
captured horses should be turned over
TO the Confederate soldiers, in order
that they might have something to be-
gin farming with. For many years it

Sammy Bumgarten's Silver Mine.

Sammy Bumgarten is q PENNSYLVANIA
Dutchman-his ancestors have lived in
the neighborhood of Middleburg, Snv-
der County, Pa, for two hundred wears,
and he still cultivates the farm of his
great-grandfather. His wife, sons and
daughters are Pennsylvania Dutch to
the backbone. Only Sammy and the
bows can speak English, which they
have picked up in the outside world.
Home made Dutch is the language of
the family. Sammy is forty years old.
Nothing has ever happened till last Win
Ter, to dam up the even flow of his life.
He has cultivated his farm and raised a
little corn and wheat, cattle, pigs and
horses; while in the winter the monot-
ony of life was varied by trips up the
Shade mountains to cut white pine
shingles on the property of the New
York Spectator whose lands adjoined
his, and who in despair had given up
writing letters to his agent complaining
Of the disappearance of the white pine
from his tract. Reason enough there
was; for Sammy and his ancestors had
been poaching single cuttings for
many generations. ',-.
Last winter Que morning the whole
family left the farm and went up the
mountain to cut shingles-father,
mother, three red-cheeked girls and two
big-shouldered sons. High above. the
valley Sammy cut down a big white pine
that grew out of a mass of boulders. 1t
was dinner time when the tree fell, and
hey all sat down on the root to eat
their scrabble and pie While thus oc-
cupied Mrs. Bumgarten picked up a
little piece of stone, in which were
imbedded particles of matter that
shone like silver. . Pop, it $
silver" she said; Il read in the papers
how silver looks" A few knocks with
rocks were filled with the shining par
ticles; and from that time forth the
New York SPECTATORS white pine was
respected, The family marched down
the mountain, and set to work talking
and dreaming about the silver mine.
Sammy used up the savings of life
time in buying, at dollar an acre, a
strip of the mountain side of thous-
and acres containing the rocks. He
bought it from the New York man, who
remarked, that as Sammy had cut the
timber off without paving for it, he
thought it was a generous act to come
forward ana buy the bare rocks.
When the purchase was completed
and the deed recorded at Middleburg
Sammy sat down and wrote the follow
ing letter to Wall Street man, whose
name his wife found in the paper.

TIE DAISIES.

Daisies!
Low in the grass and high in the clover,
Starring the green earth over aud over.
Now into white waves tossing and breaking
Like foaming sea when the wind is waking,
Now standing upright, tall and slender,
Showing their deep hearts golden splendors
Daintly bending,
Airily lending
Garlands of flowers for earths adjoining,
Fresh with the dew of a summer morning;
High on the slope, low in the hollow,
Where eye can reach or foot can follow,
Shining with innocent, fearless faces
Out of the depths of lonely places,
Till the glad heart sings their praises
Here are The daisies!
Daisies!
See them ebbing and flowing,
Like tides with the full moon going;
Spreading their generous laTgeSs free
For hand to touch and for eye to see,
In dust of the wayside growing
On rOck-ribbed upland blowing
By meadow brooklets glancing,
On barren fields a-danCing
Till the world forgets TO burrow and grope,
And rises aloft on the wings of hope;
oh! of all posies,
Lilies or roses,
Sweetest or fairest,
Richest or rarest,
That earth in its joy to heaven upraises,
Give me the daisiesl
Why? For they glow with the spirit of youth,
Inelr Deautllul eyes nave the glory of truth;
Down before all their rich bounty they fling
Free to the beggar and free to the king
Loving they stoop to tue lowliest ways,
Joyous they brighten the dreariest days,
Under the fringe of their raiment they hide
Scars the gray winter hath opened so wide;
Freely and brightly
who can count lightly
GIFTS with such generous ardor proffered,
Tokens of love from such full hearts offered,
Or look without chances of joy and delight
AT pastures star-covered from morning till
night,
When the sunshiny field ablaze is
With daisies!
Daisies,
Your praise is
That you are like maidens, as maidens should
be:
Winsome with freshness and wholesome to
see;
Gifted with beauty, and Joy to the eye,
Head lifted daintily-yet not too high;
Sweet with humility, radiant with love,
Generous, too, as the sunshine above;
Swaying with sympathy, tenderly bent
On hiding the scar and on healing the rent;
lnnocent-looking the world in the face,
Yet fearless with natures own innocent
grace;
Full of sweet goodness, yet simple in art
White in the soul and pure gold in the heart
All. like unto you should all maindenhood be
Gladstone to know, and most gracious to see
Like you, my daisies!
