4 DEAL IN STOCK.
Making Money Out OF Bccf Taken from
A Ditched Cattie-Tra n.


A Ditched Cattie-Traln.
Several years ago Bob woolscy. tho
wcll-known dispatcher was train.mast-
er on the indianapolis & St Louis
road, whose competitor, the Yandalia
line, was hauling large amount Of
stock out Of st. Louis and making fast
er time than his road had thought best
10 try. After days Of thought and
figuring. Bob went TO his superior OIL
Ger and said:
Colonel, believe wc can get some
OF that stock IL We make the effort"
The superintendent took day or so
to study OH the matter. When, finally.
he concluded Bob was about right he
began arranging for trial trip. Hc
went to Bob one day and astonishcd
that gentleman by saying:
"Bob, ! have been looking all over
our road from St Louis to Indianapo-
lis for a man capable Of taking that
stock train out of St. Louis tomorrow.
Now, would like you to so down and
put her through and SEQ IL we can't
make as good time Us the Van"
The next day Woolsey departed for
his new field of duty, and the result, in
his own words as given below, shows
what force of character will do for a
determined mind:
1--WE got away from the stock yards
ir good shape with twenty-five ears OF
nice Western cattle, all for the same
firm in Buffalo. / gave the engineer
orders to put her through rs fast rs he
could. Well. sir, it was fun to watch
the two trains, only few rods apart
skipping along in their race. After
awhile we parted, the Vandalia train
about mile behind us. Every thing
was in our favor, and we were going
along about sixty miles an hour until
within about six miles of Mattoon every
car of that stock went into the ditch.
Yes, sir. every car, and they were nice
ly piled up, too. When | had taken in
the situation and realized what fail
ure 1t was, both for tho company and
myself, my mind was made up mighty
quick.
IL started the engine over TO Mat
toon for all the butchers in the town
and inside of six hours had train ol
dressed beef en- route East. Well, We
sold that beef at good prices, and when
we figured up we found the company
just twelve hundred dollars ahead after
paying for the damaged cars and every
thing.
".What will we io with III" ""- 80
green hides, Colonel?' asked.
"'Wcll, Bob, you didn't make much
OF success with the stock but you
made it pay. and ! guess you better
call the hides your own
IL sold that ear Of green hides for
Just one hundred and fifty dollars and
then quit the stock business. l knew
when had enough. ."-Rdiiroader

EXTRAORDINARY ROMANCE OF THE
CHURCH.

We are passing through the stages
of strange romance of the Church.
Recently, says London correspon-
dent, an elderly lady, very well
dressed, rose from the congregation
of London church, and ascending
the pulpit stair, with a cry of en-
dearment, threw her arms round the
neck of the astonished pastor, eX-
claiming, sob, my darling, L have
found at last" The clergyman's
wife and family were spectators of
this extraordinary episode, which
made, as may be supposed, consi-
derable commotion. The lady was
known to be a person of wealth, and
a resident in the neighborhood. The
incident only proved to be sequel
to our story. Several years ago a
popular curate, on leaving the
church which the lady attended,
was presented by her with cheque
for thousand pounds. Some time
afterwards he discovered that he
had kindled in his patrons bosom a
tender passion, but which he found
it impossible to reciprocate. The
lady, from a state of morbid despair,
passed into active insanity. She
imagines that in every clergyman is
concealed her lover, and hence the
extraordinary fraud which has led to
her removal to a place of safety

HOW ARAGO MEASURED THE POWER OF
STEAM.

The experiments which were en-
tered upon for the purpose of meas
uring the force of the vapor of water
were very important and very
dangerous; important, because the
safe working of steam engines was
dependent upon correct measure
ments of the force, and because all
the properties of heat had to be
passed in review; and dangerous,
because they "imposed the task of
confronting the unknown caprices of
a formidable force. There were but
two men to accept it and conduct 1t
to success: Arago, who never
shrank from a duty; and Dulong,
already manned by an explosion,
whose previous studies had admir-
ably prepared him for the new
work" A rude manometer was ex-
temporized, and a boiler, far less
stanch than the steam boilers of to-
day, was set up, in which water was
heated till the pressure was twenty
seven atmospheres. '"rhey could
not go further. At this extreme
point, it leaked at all the joints, and
the steam escaped through the fis-
sures with a Kissing that was of bad
omen. But the observers, though
aware of the danger, silent and re-
signed, finished without accident
the meas urements which they had

A PARTISAN ADVENTURE.

The Seine assize court had its at
tcntion devoted TO characteristic
cally Partisan adventure, in which
love, jealousy, and the revolver once
more played a prominent part. In
the month of August Monsieur
heller, q married man of indepen-
dent means, returned one night to
his home in the 1ernes wounded
and covered with blood. His wife,
much alarmed, asked him what had
occurred, and he replied that he had
been attacked by some of the vaga-
bonds who infcst the outskirts OF the
town. NJ. heller gave n similar cN-
PLANTATION to his doctor, but the
latter was not 50 credulous rs the
lady had been, and on his eNclaim-
ing that the story was impossible,
the victim of this mishap elected to
make clean breast of it. He con-
fessed that he had been fired on by
his mistress, n young woman named
Marie Arnoult, who lived in q house
in the neighborhood of the Boule-
ward dies Capucines, and who was of
very jealous disposition. The
doctor at once communicated with
the police. The irascible damsel
was arrested, and full inquiry was
instituted into the matter. 1t was
ascertaincd that on the evening IN
question M. Neller was taking n
light supper in Marie Arm
Quits bedroom, and was stoop-
ing to put II bottle OH the
floor, as the small table was cram
med with eatables, when his mis-
tress, placing the muzzle of her re-
volver behind his right ear, fired at
him. While the man, fairly dazed,
rose to his feet to flee, the young
woman discharged three more shots
at him, and she fired for the fifth
time rs he was opening the door of
the apartment i'll order to make his
exit. This bullet hit him in the
lumber region. For some time M.
Neller was laid up, but although the
bullets have never been extracted he
has long been able TO get about.
Marie Arnoult, Oh being asked
whether M. Neller had ever pro-
missed to wed her, replied that he
had pledged himself to live with her
altogether as soon as his daughter
was married. She had not bought
the revolver for the purpose of
killing her lover, but because the
country house in which her relatives
lived was threatened by thieves.
The fact was that she had yielded
to a sudden impulse of jealousy.
She was convinced that M. Nellel
was carrying on with other women,
and that he had declined to stay that
night with her because he had
another rendezvous. The thought
quite turned her head, and she did
not know what she was doing. The
woman was condemned to one years
imprisonment Home News.
