A Police Smuggler.

Here is good smuggling story from
the Belgian frontier. A newly-mar-
ried couple were returning to Ger
many after tour to Brussels. As
the train approach the frontier the
bride grew uneary, and presently
confessed that she had a quantity Of
the finest of Brussels lace in her bag
on which high duty would have to
be paid. Put it inside your hat, ;"
she pleaded. This was done. The
custom-house looked all through the
boxes of the elegant young lady,
knowing by experience that such are
the most daring Of smugglers, but
found nothing. The chief officer,
charmed by the amiable manners of
the husband, accompanied the couple
to the train, when the wretched hus-
band, forgetting his secret in the JOY
Of having escaped, raised his hat to
the officer. and was instantly envelop
ed i'm a soft white veil

The 8. & o. and the Inauguration.

Between midnight March 3rd and
noon March 4th, the b. &. o. r. R.
carried into Washington sixty thou
sand excursion passengers, in addi-
ton to its regular local and though
travel. From three o'clock afternoon
of the 4th until midnight OF the 5th,
an equal number was carried from
Washington. Allowing an average
Of 80 passengers to the car, including
Sleeping and Parlor Cars, it required
1900 Cars to accommodate the multi
tudes. Adding to this the necessary
number Of Baggage of passengers and
the supplies and paraphernalia Of
military companies, bands and
marching clubs, it will be seen that
the b. & o. hauled train of cars
into Washington every fifteen min
utes from midnight March 3rd, until
noon March 4th. and out of Washing
ton every fifteen minutes from 800 p.
III. OF the 4th until midnight Of the
5th.
In handling this immense volume
of business, in so short a time, not q
single accident occurred and not a
passenger was injured; not car was
derailed and not an engine failed to
perform its allotted task. During all
this time there was an incessant fall
of rain and all out door work was in
vested with very depressing condi-
tons.
The satisfactory manner in which
this great movement was conducted
reflects the highest credit upon the
operating department of the b. & o.
Company and indicates the prompt
ness and intelligence with which each
member of the entire rank and file of
the force performed his assigned share
of the labor involved.
