The Lake Shore limited train that ar
rived here Friday morning met with en-
accident at Pettysville, Ohio, where It
rushed into freight train standing on
the track. Orders had been given for
the freight to precede the passenger, but
there was either some misunderstanding
about II or some carelessness. The flag
man was away from his post Of duty, and
the result was q terrible crash. The pas
senger train, running at a speed
of forty.ilve miles an hour, crashed
into the freight, knocking the
caboose into splinters, and throwing
the engine OF the passenger train into the
ditch. The cahoose Of the freight train
was also smashed. The passengers soon
learned that their lives had been saved by
the GOODNESS, courage and heroic behavior
OF the engineer, Thomas Stevenson, who
stood like hero by the engine, told the
fireman q Jump for his life, reversed and
put on the brakes, when he was finally
thrown from the cab. The passengers
appreciated this and took up collection
for Stevenson, $40 being raised and pre-
sented 10 him, with u set OF compliment.

meeting held on the train Chicago In

A Very Great Lady who Made Wngers and
How She Paid Them.
London Saturday Review; Once upon a
time there was very great lady who
betted freely, aud on the opening day OF
spring meeting at headquarters she
summoned 10 her carriage Il well-kuown
commissioner, who was Just theg doing q
large business, but with whom she was
totally unacquainted, and thus addressed
him: "Mr. Safe. | have always heard
you spoken Of as the most good-natured
man In the world; will you do me the
immense favor of making my little
bets for me during this weok2 ! will be
sure TO settle before returning TO Lon
don" Highly battered at being thus dis.

OF the fair suppliant, the gulleless com
missioner made his most courtly bow
and declared himself altogether nt thu

orders aud withdrew. She was not lucky

across whose mind no doubt OF her sol
yency had fitted, and said with her sweet
est smile: eve have been unlucky
but never allow these matters
to stand over, so, II you please, We
will square the account at once" Thil
arrangement icing absolutely in accord
Gnce with Mr.. Safes Views he bowed In
silence; whereupon the lady, after a few
minutes study OF MINIATURE betting
book, drew forth still more tiny purse
produced therefrom three soyereigns
simply remarked: "Thls makes us simply
quitsi thank you so much; good morn
ing" and, ordering her coachman to re
turn to Newmarket, drove off, leaving
the astounded Safe too stupefed to vel

lowed him time to do so! We belIev,
that she never spoke to him again, no
did he attempt to renew so expensive al
acquaintance. However, we have changed
all that In these days.

Washington Letter.
There are 1000 women in the govern
ment departments at Washington, and
among them are some OF the best looking
and most intelligent ladies OF the capital.
They come, as q role, from good families.
Many OF them are the widows Of noted
generals, the daughters OF ex.governors
and ex-congressmen, and now aud then
you win lind the relative OF d
president or a cabinet munster Many OF
them have Travelled widely, and the
great majority are educated and reflued
ladies. They do all KINDS Of work and
receive salaries ranging from S720 10
$500 o year. AS money-cOunters they
are much more expert than the men, and
the rapldity with which they can count
thousands upon thousands OF dollars
without making a mistake makes your
brain whirl as you watch them These
money counters get about ST5 q month,
and they count millions OF dollars eYery
month. At one side Of each one ON the
table lie great piles Of greenbacks done
into packages as they came from the
press. l am speaking now OF the re-
demption bureau " the treasury.
These bills are old and dirty. The
strip OF paper around each package OF 100
bills states where they came from and
who counted them ia the country, The
young lady takes this OF, and, moisten-
ing her fingers with a wet sponge la
front OF her, she counts the bills Ike
lightning, aud II the package Is not right
she reports so 10 the chief, and the banks
from which the bills come must stand The
loss. The girls seldom make = mistake,
and Il they DO 50 or pass q counterfeit
without noting II, they must make the
mistake good, and the amount 10 taken
out Of their salary. They can tell, how
ever, bad bin simply by feeling II, and a

takes where they make one.
