until recently, when, owing to sick
ness, he was obliged to lay off; but
the company, approaching his valu-
able services, have him employed in
the union depot examining train
hands as to their knowledge of train
rules and duties.
George had the reputation ofbeirg
one of the fastest runner on the
road, and on Que occasion, when
pulling President Adams's car aspeed
Indicator in his car indicated seventy
miles an hour for a short distance,
but George thinks the fastest time
he eve made was on the afternoon
of July IL, 1875, when he ran a race
with a flood in Sand creek and beat
it by just seventy seconds. George
can tellthe. story best, however.
ut was during the time we were
having SO many floods, and the
bridge over Sand Creek had been
washed out a few days before, and
the track ran down over the sand in
the bottom of the creek, which was
always dry except when there was q
food.
eve were an hour late that after
noon, and when we reached Eaton,
forty-eight miles from Denver, we
were just taking water at the tank,
when DR.. B. Keller, who was the
agent at that place then, came run
ming out to me with u message,
which read:
MAKE all possible haste to Den
yer. "Water coming down Sand
Creek.
"The message was signed by Col.
Fisher, the superintendent, and I
knew it meant get there, and the way
I damned the old machine going
over the track that afternoon was a
caution. We had no air-brakes in
those days, and had six stops to
make, but we're only sixty-four min:
utes from Eaton to Sand Creek.
"When we reached the bank of the
creek it was nearly dusk, but I could
see the water coming only a few
rods above, foaming and roaring, a
solid wall six feet high full
of timbers and wreckage from
the Kansas Pacific bridge a few
miles above, and I. thought at
first I would not chance it, but Just
as I was about to blow for brakes, I
caught sight of Col. Fisher on the
other side, waving his hat to me to-
come on, SO l pulled her wide open,
and we plunged down in the hole and
wriggled up the other side just seven
ty seconds before the water struck
the track and WHIPPED it out OF exist
ence with roar.
81 stopped as quick as Icould after
we got over, and ifyou eve saw a
delighted set of passengers they we're
there. Yousee, they didn'tknow any
thing about it until we were down in
the creek bottom, when they saw the
water coming. Scared? Well, you
can bet they were. They had been un-
easy all the way from Eaton, and
had been coaxing Ed Hoskins-he
was the conductor-to make me stop
running SO fast; but when we swung
down into the creek bottom at the
rate of fifty miles an hour they knew
something was up, and when they
caught sight of the food, they saw
right away what the matter was.
They got out on the bank and acted
foolish, cheering me and throwing
their hats in the air and shaking
hands with me and saying God bless
you,' and all that kind of thing. Oh,
we had a big time there for awhile,
and it was days before we could run
trains acros tho creek again."

In thousands OF homes women ore 'sick
into death" with the terrible diseases so
common to their sex, and it would seem as if
all the happiness had gone out of life and the
household in consequence. For when the wife
and mother suffers all the family suffers with
her This ought not to be, md it need not
be, for a never failing remedy for woman's
ailments is at hand. Many a home has been
made happy because the shadow of disease
has been banished from it by the potent pow

NRw YogK, Oct. l2.-The long roll OF
deaths from electric wires had an addition
yesterday which makes four within about
two weeks. AT the southwest corner OF
Chambers and Centre ttgeets there Is tele.
graph pole 50 feet high, with double set
of cross arms extending east and west ana
north and south. On these arms there are
telephone, telegraph and electric light
wires. Shortly after noon yesterday two
Western Union Telegraph llnenen climbed
up this pole to cut down some dead wires.
One OF them--John Feeks-hHd thrown
one leg over the fourth oross-plece and
stretched himself to arranga tho wires.
His gated feet were naturally raised as he
went at his work. Ole rested upon very
thick wire. and the other touched q small

TERRE HAUTE, IND, Oct. l2.-The stallion
A1tell yesterday succeeded In beating by
] seconds the year-old record OF 2.l3t,
hold by the California Ally Sunol. When
brought out for the watming-up heat
Axtell moved with great freedom and de-
termination.
Williams nodded for the word at the Sec
ond attempt, and the great flight was be-
gun. With that smooth action that marks
him as the purest-gaited horse that ever
lived, Axtell made the first quarter In ~
seconds, the half In 055.
"Too fast" says Colonel Oonley, and a
sight went up from the crowd. Still the
game colt went on faster and faster.
Thirty-two and quarter seconds was the
time for the third quarter. With never
falter he breasted the hill and turned Into
the stretch and the shout went up "he Will
do H."
On he came, without wobbls or false
step, and finished the mile strong IN 2.12.
Thus at one stroke he reduced the S-year-
old record seconds, also the record Tor
stations at all ages u seconds.
Williams was taken from the sulky and
borne aloft on shoulders. and cheer after
cheer went up for the gallant colt and
driver.
