The Newly-Made Widow.

Boston Post: 1t is said that some Of
the chief railroads in the country en-
ploy special persons to inform the be-
reaved family when an employee has
been killed. Considering that every
year a small army of men meet their
death on the track, the statement is not
incredible. An old railroad man at
Reading, who has discharged this pain
full Office, gives the following among
other experiences: sit was only a few
days ago that | went to a home and
found the wife chatting and laughing
with q neighbours wife while h was at
work among her rosebushcs and flow
ers. She hadn't been married very
long. | first asked whether her hus-
band was at home. She stared at me,

husband had been killed by striking
against an overhead bridge. This was
three years ago, near Philadelphia. The
wife curled up her lip and replied: II

Six Snake Stories.

A farmer in Ashton, Miss, recently
ran across a dve-foot gopher snake which
was pure white in color.
A horned snake eighteen inches long,
with q horn one and "a quarter inches,
was killed last week in lockwood,
Tenn.
Mr.. Mecline Of Pittsburg caught, while
fishing at Atlantic City the other day, a
snake of very curious shape, strongly re-
sembling the tabled j~abberweek. He
will preserve it in alcohol for the Curl
Gus future generations.
Mr.. Jordan, the section boss, and his
hands, while cutting the bushes from
the right of way near Oconee, Ga,
killed si%xty-seven moccasins. Mr.. Jor-
dan struck at the sixty-eighth and cut of
his tail, remarking that it was not a
good day for snakes.
Mrs. M. b. Shultis, OF Rondout, n.
Y, while picking some berries recently
heard her little dog, which had fol-
lowed her, yelp and bark ~piteously.
Rushing to the spot Mrs. Shultis was
horrifed to find a large blacksnake
wound tightly around the dogs body.
With great difficulty Mrs. Shultis killed
the reptile, but the little dog remained
PROSTATE with fear for several hours.

More Than a Mile a Minute.

A Pittsburg dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune, Sept. %, says: For some time
there has been considerable rivalry be-
tween the fast trains on the Erie &
Pittsburg and the Pittsburg e. Lake
Erie roads that arrive in the city about
! o'clock in the afternoon, and numer-
Gus trials of speed have taken place be-
tween them. To-day both trains left
Wampum at the same moment. At
thispointthe two roads run side by side
only the Beaver river separating them.
Both engineers did all they could to get
the most out of their iron steeds, but
the race was neck and neck. The pas
sengers became imbued with the excite
ment of the occasion and crowded the
windows and platforms. Here a pecu-
liar thing occurred. The passengers
of the Erie e. Pittsburg train were
waving handkerchiefs and among them
were a number of Harrison and Nor
ton emblems, while on the Pittsburg g.
Lake Erie train several red bandanas
were floating to the breeze. Just as
Beaver Fails came in sight the Erie &
Pittsburg engineer let the throttle on
his engine come wide open and sue
ceeded in drawing into Beaver Falls
about a trains length ahead with the
starry handkerchiefs Haunting ~detiantly
in the faces OF the red bandana men.
The time made for the run of twelve
miles was ten and one-half minutes.

The afternoon of the same day Mrs.
Shultis killed another snake of the same
variety.
A man in Oakdale, l.. l., had an ex-
perience with snakes the other day
which will last him the rest of his nat
ural life. While engaged in gathering
wood in the woods he heard a rattle,
and discovered just in front of him,
ready to spring, II large rattlesnake.
He happened to have Il stick in his hand
and he struck the reptile, and, as he
supposed, killed it. The he heard an
other rattle, and beheld at his right an
other snake ready for action, while a
rattle on his left revealed still another.
He hit each of them, and while he was
beating them to be sure they were dead
he heard a rattle behind him. The
fourth snake was o killed. He. put
h four snakes in his wagon and drove
out of the woods. AS he got off the
vehicle at the club house he was just in
time to see the first snake he had hit
coiling up ready for a spring. He killed
it. Two of them had nine rattles each,
and the largest one had ten.

In the Arctic Circle.

An important engineering enterprise
now in progress is Il railroad in the Arc
tic circle. The Swedish and Norwegian
railroad now building from Lulea, on
the Gulf of Bothnia, to Loffoden, on the
North Sea, is partly situated within the
Arctic circle, and is some ZOO miles
further north than any railroad in Can
ada. An interesting meteorological
fact stated in relation to this work is
that the snowfall is found to be actually
less than in some more southern llati-
tudes, while the darkness of the long
winter nights has been partly compen-
stated by the light of the aurora. The
object in view in constructing this line
is to tap the enormous deposits of iron
ore in the Gellivara mountains, the APP
proximate exhaustion of the ore in the
Bilboa district rendering very desirable
a new field of non-phosphoric ore suit
able for steel rail making.

Railroad Superintendents.

Globe Democrat: The Association OF
North American Railroad S%uperintend-
ents convened at the Southern, Septem-
Der 2, with j. B. Morford, superintend-
ent of the Canada Southern and Michi-
gan Midland divisions, in the chair.
The attendance was not so large as an
ticipated, owing to the fact, as n of
the visiting members expressed it, that
the busy fall eason was just opening,
and the superintendent had all they
could very we'll attend to in looking
after the interests of their respective
lines and systems. The summer season
would be far more convenient for the
meetings of the association, and some
of the members manifested a decided
preference for a change, in order to Sc
cure a larger attendance at the meet
ings. The association is not restricted
to any particular state Or territory, but
includes the United States and Canada,
and, under favorable circumstances,
should have an attendance Of 200 mem
bers at it's meetings, which are held
twice a year-in April and September.
While the attendance was not so large
at yesterdays meeting, it included re-
representatives. from some very import
ant systems.
The object of the association is for
the advancement of social relations and
discussion of topics relating to the
maintenance of railroads, machinery
and transportation. Committees are
appointed at different meetings to take
inventions and improvements in the
different branches of the services and
submit reports on them and these re-
ports are discussed at subsequent meet
ings. the chairmen of several impor-
tant committees were absent at yester-
days meeting and the session was con
s%eauently shortened by one day.
The committee on transportation,
through Robert Blee, chairman, made
a report which occupied the attention
Of the association throughout the day,
the discussion bringing out a number of
points of interests.
At the conclusion of the days session
the association adjourned to meet in
New York in April next.

A Historic Locomotive.

An Atlanta, Ca, special to the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat says that the old
General" the famous engine which
was captured on AReil II, 1862, at Big
Shanty, by a ban4 of federal raiders,
has been loaned tofthe Grand Army OF
the Republic. Thef'General" left this
morning for ColuIDbus, O. Governor
Brown kindly consented for the engine
to be carried there to be run out on a
track IN the camping ground to be seen
by all of the lads id blue.
The capture of this engine by the
raiders, the race she' run, her recap
ture by Captain w. a. Fuller, then con-
ductor on the Western 81 Atlantic rail-
road, is a part OF the history OF the war
of '6i. AS is remembehd by those who
are familiar with tho thrilling and dar-
ing incident. the object n intentions
OF the expedition wore to destroy the
many bridges OF tbeI!Western & At
lantic railway. This Was to have been
done by taking the up passenger train
at the time referred to, from the train
men while they were at breakfast at
Big Shanty, run on through to Chatt-
anooga, burning the bridges and de-
stroying the telegraph in their rear.
There is no doubt but that the plans
OF the daring raiders would have been
carried out and all OF the bridges burned
on the old state road on that memoir
able 18th day OF April, 1862, had not the
raiders been pursued so vigorously by
Captain William A. Fuller, who, as
stated. was the conductor, and Mr.. A.
Murphy, who happened to be along that
morning. a..
The story of the pursuit for miles IN
foot, on hand car and on engines has
often been told. but is always interest
ing. Captain Fuller has been urged

A device that will enable the engi-

contrivance is operated in connection
