Conductor Prescott, of the Lowell
system of the Boston and Maine
road, had a passenger on the 7:05
run from Boston to Arlington. re-
Gently, whom he could not collect a
fare from. The road for which he
works demands that fares must be
collected for each passenger, but Mr..
Prescott will not lose his position for
this one oversight of the rules. The
passenger was an owl, an ordinary
everyday owl, and could furnish
neither q fare nor a pass. 1t was
between North Cambridge junction
and Lake street that the passenger
came abroad. He was not o partic-
ular owl, and so he c~ontented him

the engine, above the guard and be-

making all the usual stops and noise.

ward and forward did not cause the
owl any uneasiness, and when the
train was ready to make the return

held his position and continued his
refusal to pay his fare.

How o Drummer Drew n Crowd
with His Nose.

HNWN -
with His Nose.
A couple Of young society men
were playing Billiards at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel Saturday. They only
had three balls on the table, and
they were rather priding themselves
on the brilliancy Of the game they
we're playing. A dry goods drum
mer, remarkable only for the I'M
usual length Of his nose, sat near
the table and persisted in smiling
sarcastically every time Q miss was
made. The players got mad, and
finally one OF them suggested maybe
the drummer would like to take a
cue in the game IL he thought il
such an easy one.
The drummer grinned. Why, /
can beat you fellows with my nose,"
he exclaimed, as he hung up his
coat and prepared for business. The
game Started. The society youths
each shot, making small scores, and
the drummer took a turn. he didn't
bother with q cue, merely leaning
over the table, squirting cross-eyed
to catch the angles, and then striking
the ball with the end Of his elongated
proboscis. He missed the first play,
and his opponents smiled. But the
next time his turn came he knocked
out a run of l6 points. The young
men were playing q good game, but
could not do anything with the nan
who played with his nose. The
drummer was one ahead at the %
point mark. Then both his oppon-
ents missed and he scored 8 and won.
Half a hundred people Witnessed the
peculiar contest, aud when it was
over the drummer had nc trouble in
getting anything he wanted in that
house.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

To the Raiiway Trust-what the Railway
Wizard Has tn Saw


New YORK, Dec THE Commercial Ad.
vertiser says: Wall street was in the en-
brace Of the bears yesterday morning Since
Friday there has been tendency to weak
ness in the market consequent upon the ru-
mors that the proposed railroad trust was
meetin opposition from some of the very
roads that were supposed to be the most
favorabiy affected by the arrangement. The
scheme was believed to be Jay Gould's in.
vention and so suspicious are many railroad
men Of Mr. Gould and mis- plans, that the
mere intimation that he is sponsor for any
arrangement is sufficient to arouse bitter
antagonism. 1t was known as a fact Sun
day that the trust was a failure The Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy, the Chicago &
Alton, and the Northwestern were the three
great lines that refused to entertain tn prop
ositon, and their refusal and opposi tion
Knocked the bottom out of the whole elabor-
ate structure
Mr.. Gould's Wall street organ printed an
interview with him which attracted much
attention and helped the bear side. In the
interview MIR. Gould denies most emphat.
ically that be is a besr, and says: MY money
is invested in the properties | manage. and
in this respect my position is different from
that of most Of my neighbors. They man.
age railroads. other people own them. Ny
income depends largely on the interest and
dividends which securities held by me yield,
and | can not get either unless they are
earned by my properties"
Continuing he says; Il am willing and
anxious to enter into an arrangement thai
will give the railroads paying rates. ! have
read in the newspapers that the plan recently
agreed TO by some of the roads was mine, II
was not had another and wholly different
one" He said further in substance thai
some of the roads refused to enter into tat
plan because it dii unt 20 far enough.
| In conclusion Mr.. Could said: "Yes; the
troubles may end auy day, and if they dC
not terminate favorahly soon, perhaps gr eat
banking houses Ike Rothschilds, Drexel
Morgan & Co, II dder, Peabody & Co., and

stock with view TO concentratin the con

adopted, al my stock would be deposited tht

Bold Attempt to Rob a Safe with Nothing

bis head, and his hands and legs were Sc
cured, and he was laid down in a corner of
the Office. As the watchman did not report
the engineer, the assistant engineer and the
taukmen went, successively, to see what was
wrong, and each in turn was seized and
bound like Coleman. The burglars worked
hard to open the safe, but at o'clock they
broke drill and gave up the job, after going
through the pockets Of the captured men
and securing S65. Had the burglars sue
ceeded in opening the safe they would have
secured nothing of consequence beyond some
papers which are not negotiable. The police
believe the thieves to have been connected
with the establishment, but have no positive
information upon which to make rrests.
