MORE SCARED THAN HURT.
AN ENGINE BREAKS HIGH UP IN AIR.
TRAFFIC DELAYED BY AN ACCIDENT NEAR THE
HIGHEST POINT OF THE sTH-AvE.
ELEVATED ROAD.

ELEVATED ROAD.
Terror prevailed for several moments among the
passengers uptown train on the Nlnth-aVo
elevated railroad yesterday morning. when its engine
broke down Of the highest points on the road
No person Injured, although AZ the moment con-
siderable CONSERVATION was caused by the stopping
Of the train and the rumblng noise which attended
the accident The height of the elevated railway track
from the ground at the place of the possible disaster
element OF excitement, for the distance from
the carwindows easily reaches 100 feet in the magma
ton. The actual measurement from the ties to the
street. according official statements, Is 6fysix feet
and six inches. Some little distance further on the
road the structure is ffy-eght feet and six inches
The possibility OF serious accident at this point caused
much co nment upon yesterdays trouble, aud was
considered generally Of consequence than the
inconvenience resulting from the breakdown.
At the ofRco OF General Manager Hahn, Of the Man.
haitian Company, this version of the occurrence was
given out AS engine No. TO- run by Engineer koop-
man, approaching with Its train of cars tho
curve spiral that carries the elevated line from
Nnth-avo. to Eghth-ave., or from Ono hundred-and-
tenthst to onehundred and-sixteenthst, the spring
hanger Of the engine broke. This at about Ono
hundred and nn,h-st, and consequently not on the
curve, at ABt reported. The spring hanger
is an iron ribbon which helps support the tank OF
the engine. and when 1t gave way the tank fell o5to
the ties and stopped the progress of the locomotive
Tho noise made by the humping OF the tank along tho
track did not continue Ions because the engine was
stopped quickly, it running at slow speed In
obedlencs to tho rule regarding the approaching OF
curves on the md-alr road The time when the ac-
cldent occurred 30 a m, and as the train was
going up 10 Harlem few persons were on board. Re
pairs were made well possible, and when the
next train came along the crippled train was helped
on TO tho station at Onehundred- and xteenth-st
where the passengers were landed. wrecking tram
carried the engine into the yard at ehundredana
thirty hfth-st and EiRhthav -. -
The Manhattan officers deny that either the DIS
abled engine or any OF the passenger cars lett tho
rack The crosstrack above One hundred and-six-
eenhst was utilized for the transfer Of trains above
the One-hundred fourthst station. Tho railroad
officers claim that the delay TO south bound trains nom
Harlem was ten minutes and to norh-oound ,ralns
guarantee the absolute perfection Of locomotives.

BE is STOPPING In TOWN.

A Gentleman Whose Name Has Been I'm
KVeryone's Mouth is Now in this City.
At about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Harry J. Ulam, the popular clerk Of the
Central Hotel, occupied his usual station
behind the counter in the botel corridor en-
velOping himself in the clouds from a fra
grant cigar, and contemplatively regarding
the approach along the lobby Of a-man.
The progress Of this particular represents
tive Of humanity was slow and tortuous and
uncertain. He felt on either side Of him
for the friendly assistance of the wall, and
when at length be reached the edge of the
counter and stood revealed in the waning
light, it could be seen that he was soaked,
much soaked But why? The day was
bright and lovely. The sun had done his
duty, and chasing away the clouds, shone
down upon the earth with midsummer
vigor. The people who thronged the thor
oughfares were full ofspirits-partly innate,
occasionally paid for, and sometimes bor-
rowed-but, of any other suspicion of
moisture there was none, absolutely none.
Mr.. Ulam regarded the apparition. and the
very wet gentleman regarded him and
finally spoke:
GIVE (hic) come back"
''Glad to see you. Wish to register"
''Yes, feel (hie) wet; would like (hic) go
bed"
"AIl right Front You seem rather
damp"
"Yes, been down at the bottom" but
here the bell boy introduced his arm
within that Of the moist one, and when,
Harry Ulam whirled round the register and
glanced at il he found inscribed thereon:
Robert McGinty."

BROKE TIE P. Q. RECORD.

Xmas Packages AEgregated Nearly Three
Tons More Than Last Year-Tlred Car
riers who subsIdIzed an Express Wagon.
The five days preceding Christmas were
the busiest days in the history OF the Pitts
burg Postofice Commencing with We'd
nesday, the 18th instant, the package
business commenced to boom, and from that
day until Tuesday evening total Of 20,S67
pounds Of Christmas presents had been de-
posted with Uncle Sam for delivery. This
statement does not include the letters and
papers, only the Christmas packages.
Mondays business was the heaviest. The
amount handled was 6,250 pounds. The
business for the five days preceding Christ
mas last year amounted to 15,07O pounds.
This shows an increase of 6,797 pounds for
this wear over last. The letter mail during
the Christmas season was no heavier than 1t
has been all month, and there were but few
Christmas cards sent through the mails.
The craze seems to have almost entirely died
out The Pittsburg people seem to have
adopted the sensible idea of sending some
thing Of value for a Christmas present, as
nearly all of the packages indicated that
their contents were of such character.
Notwithstanding the large increase in the
business, there was no increase in the force
of clerks in the Office, and the mail matter
was handled without delay in any depart
ment
The grand elimination in the work of
delivery came yesterday morning. In the
East End district the number and weight Of
the packages paralyzed the carriers They
were already roundshouldered and knock
kneed from the immense loads of the pre-
vious davs and they did not care to incur
cerebro-spinal-meningitis by staggering un-
der such leviathan burdens. So they
clubbed together and subsidized delivery
wagon. One man drove and several deliv-
cred, and the work of distribution was
quickly and methodically accomplished.

HALF WAY AROUND.

Nellie BY Is at Canton Two Days Ahead Of
Her Time.
A cablegram was received by Mr.. COch-
rane, brother of Nellie Bly," yesterday,
stating she had arrived at Canton on her
trip around the world just two days ahead
of time. 1t is not certain what time she
will arrive in Pittsburg. but she will pass
through the city on her way back to New
York, and she is expected here in February,
previous to which she will have reception
from the newspaper men of SAP Francisco
and St. Louis.
The cO-workers of Miss Cochrane are pre-
pairing a reception for the plucky little
woman when she reaches Pittsburg. 1t
must necessarily be brief but none the less
cordial in bidding her godspeed to beat
Jules Verne and the opposition lady, who is
also doing the circumnavigation act.
