this tendency | know Of" he continued,

engine on the Northern Pacific for many
years. Adam, who was German, was quite
an eccentric person, anyway, and had a
habit of approaching the climaxes of his
Jokes, of which he was an industrious spin
ner, by the Introductory announcement that
we was joost a-going around the
coorve about forty miles an hour

Adams presence of mind and dexterity.
Well, on the night in question Adam was
pulling a mixed train-that is one composed
of both passenger and freight-out Of Du-

Pacific whose trains ran over a joint stretch
of road from Duluth to \. P. Junction, and
were not under our immediate control until
after passing the junction.
Adams train left Duluth on time, but ar
rived at the junction very late. We could
obtain no satisfactory answers to our in
uuiries regarding the time lost. The con-
ductor reported everything all right as far as
he was concerned. The train continued to
lose time, however, and reached Brainerd,

an explanation when be came in, and what

had dreamed the day previous that a huge
tie had been strapped across the track by
train-wreckers. The whole surroundin gs

he had awakened just as his engine touched
the tie So firmly did be believe in the pre-
monition that he could not be induced to
run along at an ordinary rate of speed, but
crept along all night"

FRESH FANCIEs OF FASHION.

The new silken and wooden fabrics are
marvels of weaving.
Cloths of light weight are largely to be used
for spring costumes.
The old chine silks are revived, with rings
of dark color upon light grounds.
There are figured satin tricotines with white
designs on dark grounds similar to those of
foulard.
When making up a dress it is usual to
combine the plain and embroidered surahs
together.
Frse velvet figures on satin grounds are
the novelties for spring and summer, to be
combined with plain satins, which, it is as
serted, will remain in favor.
The velvets and silks seem to surpass all
their predecessors in beauty, and the choice
of less costly but almost equally beautifully
materials is even larger.
The new checked and striped silks may be
had in taffetas, but the preference is for those
with strong raised threads woven across
them, giving sometimes armure effects.

the matter due attention. Changes depend
somewhat upon the result of consultations
with the New York Central management,
now going on, but it is not believed that any
attempt will be made to rival the time of fast
trains on the Lake Shore and Pennsylvania
