PANIC STRICKEN GIRLS.
The Narrow Escape from Death of Party
of st. Johns Students.

A Journal reporter is informed by Mr.. G. T.
Colvn, an old railroad engineer, that a very
singular and nearly fatal accident occurred one
evening recently, on the trestle work at this end
of the Vincennes railroad bridge, near the old
cemetery. He was coming north into the city,
and at the same time a company of fifteen or
twenty young ladies of st. Johns Female AGA
deny, next to the Board of Trade Building,
were going south across the river, under tn e
direction of one of the Sisters of Providence, who
have charge of the academy, to botanic and
gather flowers. The $50 evening train was Just
due. Any one who has ever seen that 500 or
60O feet OF track, ranging from three to fifteen
feet ABOVE the ground and so narrow that no
unpractlced person can stand to one side as
train passes without falling off, knows that it is
the most dangerous place about the city for
pedestrian to meet or be overtaken by train
Veteran track walkers hardly dare such an
encounter. So the reader may conceive the
dreadful panic that seized this company Of
young ladies when, 200 feet from the bridge
and 400 feet from the head of the trestle-work,
they heard the whistle of the coming train and
saw it rushing into the bridge at the south end.
They screamed, and prayed, and cried
in terror, some turning to run back, some
jumping down to the ground outside and some
climbing down between the ties, where the mar
row spaces would hold them like trap. The
Sister in charge jumped to the ground height
of eight or ten feet. One very delicate girl was
caught between the ties and pulled out by Mr.
Colvin, and hurried back to the solid track. The
engineer of the train saw the alarm and
Slowed down." so as to run no risk of harm; but
the panic stricken girls never knew or noticed
this, and jumped, and ran, and screamed as if
the danger were still as great as it seemed at
first. If they had been on the bridge, of
them would have jumped into the water and
been drowned before anybody could have
reached and rescued them AS it was none
were much hurt, though all were terribly

INDIANAPOLIS CAPITAL ABROAD.
Tie Ups and Downs Of Syndicate that In
vested in Cable Road at st. Louis.

The St Louis Post Dispatch, of last Saturday,
contained long article concerning the new
cable road in that city, which is controlled by
syndicate of Indianapolis capitalists, and,
although it charges that the enterprise has been
very unsatisfactory to the citizens of St Louis,
because the accommodations furnished have not
been mp to expections, still it is claimed
that the indianapolis capitalists have manipu
lated the concern in such way as to raise the
valuation from 800, 900 to something like about
5000, 900, and they have given a mortgage to the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company, Of New
York, to secure 5000 600 of bonds which have
been issued 1t is claimed that if these bonds
ean De disposed Of at even fifty cents on the
dollar, they would yield very handsome profit
~ the Indianapolis capitalists "a little further
inquiry, however," the Post Dispatch says:
would develop some facts just as interesting,
although not in the same line. 1t would be
found that although the cable is here, il has not
been paid for, and the men who made it are
growing a little nervous about it 1t was made
by Roeblings & Sons, and they sent two agents
out here with IL to make some inquiries as to
terms of payment. While here these agents men
toned casually that the contract for the cable
provided that il not TO be paid for till thirty
DAYS after it was in operation on the road. so
that K IL never got into operation. there would
appear to be no liability. They went from here
10 Indianapolis TO sec some OF the capitalists,
and il is understood that they effected some ar
engagements there under which the cable is to be
delivered in week or two

woodward's Equanimity.

Twenty four hours experience in jail, with a
five years sentence in the penitentiary before
him, has apparently brought John T. Woodward
to the philosophical conclusion that the good and
i'll fortunes of life are to be borne with unru ed
spirit He did not take kindly to Jail fare
abundant as it is, but accepted it without out
ward complaint His first and only utterance in
regard to the verdict was: Five years in the
penitentary is long time" Said the taller,
ut is no longer, and is somewhat better than
five years in jail But in either case there is
no freedom" sadly remarked John. So far, he
has had only the ordinary surroundings of jail

his sanguineness as 10 new trial

The Position Taken by the Pennsylvania
PeOple. rI

A leading representative of the Pennsylvania
lines, who was last week conversing with a
party of general freight agents in Chicago as TO
the policy of the Pennsylvania people on the
matter of maintenance of rates said: From this
on we wish it to be understood that the Pennsyl
vania lines are in the market for business at
tariff rates when other roads maintain tariff
rates, and we shall also be in the market for
business at current rates when tariff
rates are disregarded." The belief gains
currency that the Pennsylvania people will
enter no pooling agreements will sign no agree
ments to maintain rates until their competitors,
who have acted dishonorably in the living up to
agreements, are satisfied, and are willing to
enter into pooling agreement with heavy
money penalties attached whenever the agree
ment is evaded or broken. No one seems to
question the Pennsylvania peoples being able
to carry out this programme with the advanta
ges they possess over their weaker competitors

upon a metal plate, which rests upon masonry
built the same as those for stock scales. Four
bridge pivots eight inches long, on section steel
rail eight inches long, rests upon disk having
diameter of the length of the rail- which is cast
of solid steel These sections of steel rail are at
each corner of the crossing and work upon
pivot, by which they can be thrown either way.
Each bridge joint has a journal passing through
the plate, having by means of q boss underneath
the plate bearing of three inches IN solid

plate to the Journal by means of an arm nine
inches long Each arm is connected to spider,
which works upon a pivot, which is fastened
underneath the plate by connecting rods, which
are operated by connecting reds from the target.
When the target is turned the bridge points are
thrown in position for service making con-

the target is reversed the points are reversed,

The Volume Of Freight Traffic Still at the
Minimum.
The train records of the car movement of last
week, az well as that of the two preceding weeks,
shows that freight traffic is down to the mini
mum point the number of cars received and
forwarded at this point now ranging from
4,0CO to 5000 cars per week below the number
handled in March and early April. It was thought
that the low rates which have beer offered the
last ten days would create a more actiye east
bound movement, but the improvement, if there
is any, is hardly perceptible and as the roads
are now to have lake competition, the prospects
for an early increase in east bound shipments over
the midland routes are decidedly poor. The past
week there were heavy shipments of live stock
eastward. On Friday the Bee-line forwarded
from this point 81 carloads, the c., st. L. & P.
u carloads, and on several other days the ship
ments were nearly as heavy. AS intimated in
last weeks report as highly probable, the west
bound tonnage begins to decrease, and light
movement in this direction for some ten weeks
may now be looked for The roads have no
reason to complain, however, as the west
of that of any former year in the corresponding
period and even now is. The midland routes
have done themselves great credit the last few
weeks In the excellent time that has been made
on west bound shipments. North and south
roads are carrying heavier tonnage than thirty
days ago. Lumber begins to move, and the
shipments of grain and provisions to Southern
points are on the increase. Local traffic is salts
factory occasionally there is dull day. but
most of the time clerks and platform men are
busy.
Below we give the number of cars received
and forwarded at this point in the two weeks
ending May and May 16:

Old "Hannahp Still in Service.

Running on the little branch road from the
Pennsylvania, at Edgewood Station, up to the
mines of the Hampton Coal Compay, above Will
kinsburg, is probably the oldest engine now in
use in the country. Ur to within three or four
years Old Hannah" as she is called, was in
active use on the main line of the road. For
over quarter Of a century the old engine passed
and repassed, hundreds of times, to and fro be-
tween Pittsburg and Philadelphia "Old Han
nah was built at the Baldwin Locomotive
works in 1851 and was the first of its kind ever
built in this country. The number on her front
is No. l. In her day. before the great improve
ment on locomotives was brought out, she was
considered wonderful engine-and she was,
too. Stong. well built, with powers of great
speed, ''Old Hannah" had things pretty much
her own way on the road AS she was the oldest.
the other locomotives kind of laid back out of
the way whe she came dashing along: They
showed her great respect. Tom Lacock, now
in charge of the engine, has for twenty nine
years pulled her throttle, and he tells a reporter
of the Pittsburg Telegram that ''she never got
ugly or refused to perform her work. She was
model in her behavior. / never heard of her
wrecking train or smashing up anything" he
said. '.She looks kind of shaky like, and she
isn't as pretty as some engines they are turning
out now. but you ought to see ker yank out
train of Goa. cars. She hasn't forgotten how to
pull not bi. of it. But she is almost done out.
Her fues and tires are about done for, and we
can't get them in good shape. After an engine
has been at work thirty five years almost, you
would expect something TO give out She Is
just like an old man-plays out all over, and you
can't doctor him up to what he was when he was
young. No, Old Hannah will never 60 out on
the main line again, but she does the work here
well enough, and that is all We want We
will take good care of her, and he looked ad-
miringly at the old engine.

Xmas at 1Ryder,S.

To see the crowds focking to L. F. Ryti.s-~- store, 798 Chapel street, anyone would fh1- agine that there must be some great magnet to attract them. Well, indeed, there is! In the first place the store itself is decked and ornamented in the handsomest manner, the windows being resplendent with holiday goods which dazzle the eyes and tempt the appetite. Secondly, it is we'll known that every ounce of candy exhibited there is man ufactured on the premises. Thirdly, pure ingredients only are used and no inferior materials enter into the composition of any of the candies or confections. Fourthly, the Ryder's celebrated mixed candy which is the ''talk of the town" is being sold at the low price of 15 cents pound or pounds for 60 cents No wonder the people rush there and send telegrams and letters for supply of it; they must and will have it, ,and the only place to get the genuine article together with full line of candies and confections, cornucopias, notices, trimmings, wax can dies, etc., etc., is at Mr. Ryder's model estab- lishmeut
