MAUp,s LUCKY SHOES.
The Good Fortune They Brought TO
All Their Happy Owners.
From " Nele York JoNrnaI


There certainly is luck In horseshoe,
especially II it has been worn by the right
horse" said Lawyer Peter Mitchell yes
terday. "When Maud 5. did her first
really fast mile at Cleveland In 2;10IS,
Captain Stone, OF Cincinnati, who owned
her, pulled of her shoes and stored them
in his desk aud sold the mare 10 Wander
bilt tor a snug price. He's been making
money ever since, and capturing the best
things OF liie."
The captain only kept one OF the shoes.
he gave one to Mrs. Swain, who is a sis
ter OF Mr.. Mitchell, and she gave IL 10 her
larger brother. He hadn't had lt a week
before be was married TO one Of the most
charming ladies' In New York. He has
been prospering like a green bay tree
ever since, and has had the shoe plated
and framed, and wouldn't take Florida
lot for IL.
Mr. Vanderbilt had one OF the shoes,
and used 10 think that il had a happy IN
nuence on bis Efforts TO turn an honest
penny. Cornelius owns IL now, and has
II fastened on the front OF his writing
table.
The fourth shoe Is in the possession OF
William Beard, Maud SIS driver. Beard
thinks that IL he had not had the shoe
stuffed In the ballast OF his sulky cushion
he never would have been able TO have
gotten the work out OF the little mare
that be has since the lucky piece Of steel
came into bie possession,

THAT SLEIGH RIDE.
Tho RecollectioDs OF an Old Iphabitant
Of the "snOw Storm"

From tho CharIsston Neos and Courier.
Though not the "oldest inhabitant,"
said an elderly gentleman recently, am
old enough to remember the 'snOw
storm" l cannot fix the date exactly,
though it was certainly upwards Of sixty
years ago. The snow was thick enough
to suggest a sleigh ride, and an old and
very dilapidated vehicle OF the kind was
unearthed and pair OF horses attached to
1t. 1t came, / think, out Of Chalmers
street. Of course it excited great curios-
Ity, as such sight was more rare, and
mad probably never been seen before by
any then living person in Charleston. All
the boys IN the streets gathered round 1t
and filled to its utmost capacity. Amid
cheers and changing of bells ii started up
Meellng street and succeeded In
reaching Calhoun (then called b0un-
dary street, when its progress was lg-
ANONYMOUSLY brought to a close by the
melting OF the snow, and il was dragged
through the mud and consigned to its
resting place, whence it has never since,
that have heard Of, emerged. ii still in
existence 1t would be worthy of exhibition
as one Of the ancient institutions OF the
Golden times"
The following from the Charleston
Courier OF Dec. is, 1851, throws some light
upon the subject:
THE people OF the Sunny South are
seldom favored with such a treat as was
enjoyed yesterday. Early in the morning,
the thermometer at the time indicating a
degree OF cold which has not been expert
enced IN this latitude within the last 10
years, the cloudy canopy Of heaven COM
menced dispensing a feecy shower Of
snow, which continued throughout the
DAY and up to the period Of our writing.
Had the weather previously been such as
to have frozen the earth it would, beyond
doubt, have retained coating upon
which sleighs would have been enabled to
have glided through our streets with ia
cillly, and thus opportunity would have
been Afforded to the lovers OF that sport 10
nave experienced treat seldom enjoyed
in this vicinity. AS il was, however, some
spirited individuals got up spectacle
which resembled sleigh-riding, and was
creditable to their enterprise and gave
good evidence that if the article Of snow
was furnished in sufficient quantities they
were perfectly ready and willing to make
IL available for facilitating lOcOmOtlOn.
'balllDg, likewise an amusement
which in our climate is seldom enjoyed,
was prevalent throughout the day, and IN
its exercise many luGicrous occurrences
were witnessed which called the visible
facilities fOrcibly into operation.
1--WE mightduate further upon the pleas
urable part OF this, we may be permitted
TO say, freak Of nature, but the philan-
thr0pic characteristic Of Charleston de-
mands notice from our pen"
The article then closes with mention
of an appeal which had been made the
day before on behalf of the fuel and gar
ment societies and which had resulted in
The collection Of $3.50.
The Charleston Mercury Of the same
date states that it was the coolest day
since March A, 1887, the day of Mar Tin Y an
Buren's Inauguration.

A LOCOMOTIVE Driven BY GAS
An Experiment that Did Not Prove Sue
csssfuI.
From. the NeD York Times.

From the New York Times.
An experimental trip was yesterday
made over the Erie road between Jersey
City and Passaic by locomotive driven
by gas generated by William Frank
Brownies method. The locomotive used
was the yard switcher, No, 2l9, one, that
like most locomotives used in yards, is
Telegated TO such use because OF It's poor
steam-producing qualities. 1t 10 what is
known as an lo-car engine, and has been
used with this new appliance, both for
switching and drawing light freight
trains over the Greenwood Lake branch
to Newark. Yesterday 1t drew two pas
senger cars occupied by about twenty
gentlemen, and made the poorest exhibit
ton of its powers shown since il has
been used. This was due to two causes
inability 10 get good draft, and a failure
of the pumping appliance TO properly mix
the crude petroleum and water which are
used for gas generating purposes. So the
experiment was an unsatisfactory one,
and the locomotive was stalled going and
coming because of the failure TO generate
steam rapidly enough. This MIR, Browne
thinks can be remedied by the use OF a
double plunger pump, which will
give to him regularly and absolutely
the needed quantities OF crude oil, 35
to 40 per cent, and OF water 60 to 65 per
cent.
A huge oil tank is stationed in the ten
der coal box, and water is taken from the
tender tanks. From these il is pumped
and forced into coils OF iron pipe, when
surround the wall OF the tire-bOx. This
coil feeds two or three burners. The coil
was red hot when the locomotive left the
station yesterday, aud gas was being gen.
Grated nicely at the lower opening OF the
350-foOt coil, from which the mixture, de-
yelOped into gas in the course Of its long
trip, was escaping The trouble seemed
TO be that the gas, from lack OF draft, did
not produce heat enough TO both make
gas, by keeping the coil heated 20 a sui
ticiently high temperature, and to also
generate steam. IL was to the lack of
draft that this failure was alleged to be
due, and IL was this failure that caused
