REVIEW.

REVIEW
New YORK. December 30.-The cables were
again seriously interrupted this morning, but
our market opened firm; and when it be-
came known that the Bank of England had
made no change in the discount rate, and
private cables quoted money easier and said
that the sentiment had been effected without
any failures prices advanced steadily. The
announcement of the dividends on the Van
dsrbilt stocks was somewhat of disappoint-
ment to the traders and the smaller local
speculators; but we think that when the in
vesting public come to study the statements,
they cannot fail to appreciate the very sub
stantial improvement these roads have made
during the past year; and if we can take
this as being in any way an index OF the
general status of the railroad business, it
must be considered as being most encOur-
aging. The market became very strong du-
ring the last half hour, and closed strong.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Crowded Street Car Demolished by Loco
motive and Nobody Seriously Hurt.

CHICAGO, Dec. pa few minutes before
o'clock this morning a stockyards car left ONeill
street for the yards with the usual crowd on
board Three minutes later it crossed the bridge
over the river and slowly went down the grade
toward the tracks of the Chicago s. Alton rail
road, The conductor ran ahead to the tracks to
see if any train was coming. AS he looked down
the track he saw the St Louis express dashing
down toward the crossing. He signaled the
driver to look out. The driver set the brake,
but slowly and surely the car slid down the
grade and onto the tracks. The driver and con
ductor yelled to the occupants Of the car, but
the windows were thickly coated with frost, and
it was impossible to see out and the fifteen mon
and boys did not know of the danger which was
now close on them. The engineer of the train
saw the street-car, and blew the whistle repeat
edly. 1t was impossible to stop the train, and
in another instant the engine struck the street
car. 1t was knocked into splinters, and passen-
gers were thrown in every direction. Those
who witnessed the accident rushed to the cross
ing, expecting to see many dead bodies. But,
happily, no one was killed. Four men lay on
the ground grooming in pain. They were picked
up and taken to a neighboring drug store. A
hasty examination was made. and then it was
seen that beyond few slight bruises none of
the men had suffered injury. In the meantime
the train had been checked. but. after making
sure that no one was killed. it proceeded into
the city.

SOUTHERN people know how to treat their

safely after long and perilous journeys. When
Colonel Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution,
got back from New York, thousand citizens
met him at the depot with brass band and
escorted him in great state to the Kimball
House, where ne was banqueted in fire style.
This is something like, and shows that the
Southerners appreciate their blessings. 1t is
very different up this way. A Northern
editor may travel all over the South, even
Drawing the dangers of winter resorts down
there, and when he returns to his native

it is a new South, but it is the same old cold
hearted selfish North.

George Wurzel, to whom he told his story. He
said that he was born near Springfield, Mass
and that his father was a wealthy and iufiuen-
tial man. Callagan graduated at Amherst Col
lege, after which he entered West Point Mill
tary Academy Here he became intemperate In
his habits and once, while intoxicated, was
guilty Of serious breach Of discipline for which
he was expelled. He was forgiven by hismothe
but disowned by his father His mother offered
to assist him from her private funds, but the
son refused and became a tree drummer Wur-
eel and Calagan were boating on the Mononga-
hela river one day two years ago and Callagan
fell overheard. He was dragged to shore by his
friend and was restored to consciousness with
great difficulty. For his heroism Wurzel was at
once presented by Mrs. Callagan with an elegant
diamond scarf pin.
Callagan resumed his travels, and about
year ago Wurzel received intelligence that the
elder Callagan had died unforgiying to the laet.
The son then returned to his mother and to-day
