New York, Jan. Tho market
opened very feverisb, with prices irregu-

cial troubles and further trouble in'.. INK
lines seemed to create feeling of dstrust,
and there were heavy selling orders from
the Chicago and New York bears on the
Vsnderbilts and grangers. BY noon Lake
Shore had lost 2, Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western, Z, and other stocks about !
from the opening. Tho mornings sales
we're 1853 900 shares.
Tho market was dull and fairly steady
during noon hour. About 1 o'clock the
bears began raiding the general list
Central Pacific was sold down to 32s, and
this revived tho mornings story that
certain houses identified with this stock
were embarrassed. There was q rush to
call, and prices ran down rapidly for half
an hour. Sustaining orders in the Gould
specialties and the coalers finally checked
tho stampede, and further official denials
! from firms mentioned In rumors restored
confidence. After tho 2;15 deliveries had
been mado without any "lamo ducks"
the market slowly mondod, and the

Queen Victoria Disguised.
London truth,

The queen, l hear, is sick to
death of the whole wedding bust
ness, everything connected with
the function having produced re-
mo%nstrances, squabbles, misunder-
standings and every species of
botheration. The whole of the
royal family-all those who can af-
ford to be independent, at least
have opposed the alliance from
first to last, and the uncomprom-
promising attitude which has been
adopted at Berlin has caused pro-
found modification and irritation
at the court of St. James. Prince
Henry of Battenberg has no money
and no position, and for the daugh-
ter of the queen of England to con-
tract so undesirable a marriage is
a mesalliance which is regarded by
the courts of Europe much as
country society would look upon
the union of a leading peers
daughter with the Son of a small
farmer.

A Sharp.Sighted Engineer.

LfkbCuH0 xCyukk~
"Keep a sharp lookout while on
the run?" echoed an engineer.
"Should say we did. The man
that tries to run an engine without
keeping his eyes peeled gets left
sooner or later. Eve heard about
fellows out West that would start
out on a run with a board reaching
across the drivers seat to the fire.
mans, and a deck of cards, but
l never tries that. Just to show
you how necessary it is for a man
to keep his eye on the rails ahead
of him let me tell you a little story.
81 was running along one night
in Ohio some years ago. 1t was a
blowy, rainy, nasty night, and in
times like that a man is dou bly,
watchful. For hours I never took
my eyes from the wet, glistening
rails ahead Of me, except, of
course, when we stopped at sta
tions. All at once I saw in front
of mellow far ahead I couldn't
tell-a glimmer of light. 1t was
just a spark. I barely saw it be-
fore it disappeared. Was it a
lightning-bug? I hadn't seen any
that night. What was it? That I
couldn't answer. But my instinct
told me to stop the train, and stop
1 did. 1t was mighty lucky I
looked at it that way, for that
glimmer of light was caused in the
oldest way. You couldn't guess
it in a week.
ga farmer was walking along the
track when he discovered a short
bridge 80 badly washed out by the
freshet that to run upon it with 9
a train meant a wreck, He triee
to start a fire with paper and hi
clothing, but couldn't do it. H,
had one match left. He kept tina
until I got close to him, his plar
being to strike that match hold il
in his hat and wave it across the
track as he had seen the brakemel
do when they want to signal stop
1t was his hope that I would Sc,
the blaze before it was blown out
"He had no sooner struck tn,
match than out went the blaze,
It was merely a fash, but I saw il
and the farmer had saved tn.
train. What if I hadn't made it
rule to keep my eyes peeled alon,
the rail every minute while run

The second nine of this city went
up to Thompson Station Saturday to
play the Reds of that place a game
of ball. Ebony Buckner started in
to umpire the game but some of the
Thompson ''cranks" claimed that his
decisions were unfair and he retired
from the game. Andy Winscott fin
ished umpiring. The game resulted
so to 20 in favor of Mexico. 1t was
the FIRST game the Mexico boys had
played together this season, but they
are too much for the Thompson nine.
If the Reds wish to become a success
full nine they should do less "kick-
ing'' and pay more attention to the
details of the game which they are
trying to learn to play.
