ALUNATIC ON A LOCOMOTIVE.
Terrifying Exploit Of II Madman OH Il
Passenger Train i'm Maryland.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 1.-THE
thrilling sensation Of riding on train
with maniac at the throttle was ex.
perienced by several hundred persons
yesterday on the Shenandoah Valley
railroad. 1t was fortunate that but
few Of them knew in whose hands
their-lives were for a period Of about
ten minutes, or there would have been
panic. There had been an excur-
sion from..points along the Shenandoah
Valley railroad to Penmar, on the
Blue Ridge Mountain, in Western
Maryland. The Shenandoah road con.
meets with the Western Maryland rail.
road at Hagerstown. 1t was about s
O'Clock in.the evening, the lamps on
the train had just been lighted and
locomotives changed at Hagerstown.
The conductor was engaged taking up
tickets on the rear cars of the train,
when he heard a wild shrek forward.
Then the train stopped suddenly.
Many of the passengers were alarmed,
but the conductor hurried through, mot
knowing what was the matter himself.
In the baggage car the conductor
met the engineer and the fireman.
Their faces were blanched with terror.
Just then the train begain to move
slowly.
"What will we do" exclaimed the
engineer; there is a mailman in the
cab; he drove us out at the point of a
pistol, and we climbed over the tender,
expecting every moment to be killed"
The engineer had stopped the train
before being driven out OF the cab,
but the crazy man had now learned
how the throttle worked. There was
not a moment to be lost. The train
was moving slowly, all the brakes be.
ing hard down. The conductor and
engineer jumped off, and being un.
armed picked up large stones, and
summing up to the side Of the 10 9mo.
tive ordered the mailman down. He
merely glared at them and cursed
them; then he drew his pistol and be.
gan firing. The engineer had by this
time climed over the tender on the op.
posite sid, entered the cab and stop.
ped the train. Just as he did so the
conductor threw large stone, which,
striking the crazy man on the head,
cut 1t open and knocked him sense.

had been killed, but he soon recover.

the Texas side, and dangerously, per-
haps fatally, wounded. Four buck

Sight Restored by Prayer.

GALENA, ILL. JULY IS.-News has
received here OF a remarkable case of
restoration of sight experienced by
Miss Grace Lambert. a teacher of Gen.
eseo, in the adjoining county of
Whiteside, this state, who was totally
blind for nearly four years. Her case
had been treated by the best oculists
in the country, but wholly without
benefit. She suffered the most in.
tense pain, her eyes seeming to her
like balls of fire, and life became al.
most: uncomfortable, Three days ago
friend of the young lady, who was
devout Christian, advised her to
pray for the restoration of her sight.
The friend insisted npon amounting
the eyes with oil as the Bible passage
instructs. and then made an impasslon.
ed prayer for the sight of the young
woman. Miss Lambert then began to
think about the efficacy of prayer and
engaged in supplication to God for
relief. After praying for some time
she felt peculiar shock, and at once
found that her eyesight had been re-.
stored. She FIRMLY believes that the
restoration of her sight is wholly due
to the prayers Of herself and
friend.

more than enough for one healthy per.
son. This fact is probably well known
to every country school boy. The
art ofeating watermelon and keeping
cool is as simple now as it was in the
days of long ago. The rind should
be slit with short. bladed knife, so
that when the melon is divided the
heart of it shall rest in one of the
halves in one lucious, juicy lump.
The knife should then be carefully
wiped and then put in the pocket.
Then the coat should be taken off and
the sleeves rolled up. Plunge the right
hand under one end of the heart and
the lett hand under the other; lift the
dripping mass to the mouth and fall
to. The juice will tnckle down your
arms and satu.ate your face, but what
