A WAR ROMANCE.
How a Young Lady Saved q Soldiers Lafe
and Won a Loving Husband.
Washington letter.

Congressman Stone, of Kentucky, who
walks about the House and up and down
the avenue on Notwithstanding lost leg
in the Confederate service-is expecting his
wife to arrive here shortly from her Ken
lucky home. The story of Stones mar
riage is strange and interesting one and
proves again that there are as in
teresting incidents in real life as
are told in story books. Stone
was Confederate soldier, and at battle
in Cynthiana, KY, was badly wounded.
AS he fell his hat went one way and his
musket another, and he found himself una
BILE to move or regain either. 1t was
scorching summer day, and he was obliged
to lie on that hot hillside exposed to the
intense heat of the blazing sun,
unable even to protect his face
except by throwing his arm
across his eyes. His life blood was rapid
ly running away, and he became weaker
and weaker, and soon was unable to speak
or move. The blazing sun which fell on
his head and face was adding untold suf-
fering, in his enfeebled condition. After
the fight he was left with the dead and
dying, for it was supposed he could not
live more than few minutes or hours.
the people living in the vicinity of the
battlefield passed over it, relieving the
necessities of the wounded so far as possi-
BILE. As they passed near where Stone lay
suffering in the hot sun, unable to speak,
young lady in the party noticed him and
the sufferings the sun must produce if he
were still conscious. Telling her COM
panions she believed he was still alive, she
procured the ramrods from four muskets
lying near by, and sticking them in the
ground near his head, fastened over
the top a scarf from her
shoulders, to break the rays of the sun.
When the wounded were gathered from
the field it was found that Stone was still
living, and he was sent to the hospital.
There was long struggle between life and
death, but he finally rallied and slowly
gained strength, after the amputation of
his right leg. The residents of the town
and vicinity did all they could for the suf
ferers in the hospital, sending them food
and delicacies and often visiting them.
One day, after he had gained sufficient
strength to speak and notice those who
visited the hospital, he saw among the WIS.,
itors the young lady who had probably
saved his life by her kindness when he lay
helpless and speechless on the battlefield.
When opportunity offered he spoke to her
Of the occurrence and thanked her for her
kindness. The acquaintance thus begun
ripened into love. and she is now his wife.

very frequently happens that an engine

stick close enough to the track. when
going down heavy grade, to control
her speed. An engine going down hill
is really more helpless than the same
engine going up hill. That is, she can
pull greater weight up the hill than
she can hold back in going down the
hill. 1t is very common experience
with engineers of freight engines to
have their trains literally push them
down heavy grades at high rate of
speed. In such instances every curve

Ihe curve retards the speed and enables
the wheels of the flying train to get

'On some railroads it is the custom
to disconnect the lever from the driving

by her air brakes. Every curve acts as
a brake on the speed, and in this way
the train can swing along for hours

just then the train went around

thrown to one side of the seat.
"1t's wonder to me- he gasped,

A NOVEL CONTEST.
The Misunderstanding Performance VIE
messed BY Quaker City Knights.
lPhiladelphia Record.l

IPhiiadelphia Recoru.i
Seven fat cherry pies, each nearly foot
in diameter, rested in as many plates in
row on high, narrow table in Quaker City
Hall, Broad and Columbia avenues, on
Thursday night Nearly three hundred
members of Apollo Senate, Knights OF
Sparta, sat watching the pies curiously.
The Senate, which had just held its quar-
terly meeting, had gotten through with its
business and the Senators were awaiting
the announcement of the committee on
amusements, of which Mr.. W. j. McWate
was chairman. The pies did not suggest
to them what sort of an entertainment had
been prepared, but when seven hungry
looking newsboys filed into the room and
began also to eye the juicy pastry it was
evident what was about to happen. 1t was
tc be pie-eating match, and the boy VINO.
without the aid of knife, fork or fingers
devoured his pie, was to receive one dollar
in cash in addition to the fifty cents he
had been paid to enter the contest.
The seven pies had been made to order,
and were fairly bursting with their rich
and ruby contents. Mr.. McWaters tied
each boys hands firmly behind his back,
and then stated the conditions of the
match, which were to be eaten from the
plates, each boy to ''go as you please"
but without in any way assisting each
other. If the plate fell upon the floor, and
the pie did not tumble out of it, the con-
testant could get down on all fours and
continue in the list. At signal seven
heads were ducked into the seven plates,
and such devouring of cherry pie COM
menced as was never witnessed before in
the neighborhood. When the line of faces
were turned up after the first attack to
masticate the enormous nRputhfuls the
spectators exploded into roar of laugh
ter. Blood red noses and chins, and
mouths with patches of pie-crust
sticking all over them, made
such a grotesque sight that one of the
members of the Senate burst his buttons
off. One of the contestants had pulled his
plate off on the floor and was on his knees.
biting away in a most furious manner.
The contest lasted five minutes, by which
time James Dougherty, a lad of sixteen,
had eaten up every crumb, licked his plate
clean and looked like painted devil in a
pantomime. Two of the boys lost their
pastry on the floor, and the other four
finished in half minute after the cham
pion had called ''time." He was presented
with silver dollar, made how, said De
would match himself against the town as
a rapid consumer of pie, and retired with
his defeated companions to a wash-tub.
The members of the Senate went home to
get the buttons sewed ON their clothes.

JUS this" contiaued the conductor,
-1-curves are necessary on a very heavy
Grade. Passengers are sometimes struck
with the great number of curves ON the
road while it is up among the hllis.
They ima agine the curves are merely
necessary because the roads winds
around the flills. This is only parity
true. If the railroad were to cross di-
rectly at heavy grade it would still be
necessary to have the curves. No tram
can 90 at a high rate of speed down
q heavy grade on straight
track with safety. The explanation
is simple. The tendency OF any heavy
fody like train is to move In straight
line. and the attraction of gravitation is
not sufficient to overcome the tendency
to shoot off where great speed or mo-
mentum has been obtained. Hence,
train fiying down straight track on
the hillside, instead of keeping the
track would shoot off on tangent into
space.

Mrs. ]. c. Wnliston, the wife of con-
tractor and builder of this city, has Just
returned from an extended trip after a
most remarkable experience. Mrs. Willis
ton is not yet thirty, but her hair is almost
white, aud her face bears the signs of a
life OF suffering. She has been the victim
for years, at varying hours of night and
day, OF pains like the cutting of a knife,
and physicians supposed her to be suffer-
Ing from cancer of the stomach. Eminent
physicians failed to exactly locate the
trouble or afford the lady relief She
spent months in travel and large amounts
oil money endeavoring to find effective
treatment for her malady, but most of the
physicians whom she consulted said that
her disease was cancer of the stomach and
that death would ultimately result.
Last October she went to San Francisco,
stopping and treating, while en- route, at
the soda springs in Idaho, but in vain.
Later she tried the waters of Calestoga
Springs and the baths of Paso del Robes,
without effect San Francisco's best
physicians could afford no relief, and she
started for Sonora, Mexico, intending to
visit some celebrated springs near Nogales.
She was taken seriously i'll at Tucson,
Arizona. One day during her illness a
Papaco Indian, of local notoriety as a
"medicino man." visited Tucson from st.
Xavier's Mission. He was taken to Mrs.
Williston's rooms and asked If he could tell
han aHr J., l.. l. /.
describe the pains and their location, and
then with the exclamation: "Me sabe heap
bad spirit," he rushed out and toward the
mission. In few hours he returned with
herbs and basket of mescal, root used
by the Indians for food.
He motioned to Mrs. Williston to swal-
ow the herbs They made her deathly
sick, so much so that she almost died from
fright, thinking she had been poisoned.
The result, after Il few hours, was the ennis
sion of dead lizard that was fully four
inches in length. 1t was apparently of a
species common to the East, but how it had
managed to live for so many years was the
mystery. Mrs. Wili,ton says that but one
explanatian occurs to her, which is that
when child, and living at Phillipsburg,
N. j., she and her brother were accustomed
to drink from little brook that ran near
the house. They would scoop the water
up with their hands, and she thinks that
possibly in this way she swallowed the EN-
bryo lizard. Mrs. Williston's recovery has
been rapid, and she is now fairly on the
way to complete restoration 30 health,

the system is not rare, medical men say
that this is one of the most remarkable
cases on record.

"Two ladies on the sidewalk hailed car,

the car, and, calling her out to the door
step of the car, the ladies kissed, passed
the compliments of the day, gossiped
awhile, and then the two ladies walked
back to the sidewalk, the lady inside re-
sumed her seat, and the astonished driver
whipped up his mules, to the great relief
of the impatient passengers"
