Acted by Three Enraged Of1cials,

Trunk.
Boston Courier.
You have no idea of the annoyance
we have to suffer from the travelling
public and especially from travelling
salesmen," said conductor on board
local train travelling out of the city.
Only the other day two statesmen en-
tered a compartment. They sat oppo-
site each other and one of the two
placed a pretty heavy trunk upon the
seat next to him.
'''Look here says /, you'll have to
take that trunk off the seat
"'No,' says he, L will not take it
."'Wen.' says I, I'VE will see. Will
you take that trunk down. yes or mop
'Ha! hal, laughed he, you are jest
Ing. my good man.
"As at this very moment the train
began to move, had to defer proceed
ing against the offender until the next
station. AS soon as it was reached |
rushed into the compartment full of
rage and asked: Now, will you take
the trunk DOWN.
"'Please do not bother me with that
trunk or shall complain of you at
headquartersP roared the passenger in
voice of thunder. / never met with
such impudence before, but as the
train stopped for couple Of minutes
only l had again to wait till the coming
station. There / informed the station
master of the case. He entered the
compartment saying:
'.Sir, the conductor 1s in the right,
and have to demand of you to remove
the trunk or to leave the train.'
81 shall neither take it down nor
leave the train,' answered the passen-
ger,and as we were already five minutes
late. had lust time to wire the matter
to the next station.
81 enjoyed in advance the scene at the
next station. Upon our arrival the
chief of that station said to the pasSen-
ger:
at once.'
Sir rejoined the now thoroughly
Infatuated passenger, what do you
want of me? l have paid for my ticket
and have done nothing reprehensible
whatever, and yet this miserable hire
ling has not ceased to bother and insult
me-
"Owing to this quarrel the tr ain was
now ten minutes late and the fast eX-
press close behind US.
10y Ou'l III nave to leave the train II you
do not at once take the trunk down.
shouted the enraged chief.
81 shall do that under no circum-
stance whatever,' screamed the passen-
ger, whose frontal veins stood out like
whipcOrdS from his dark-red forehead.
''At this juncture the head baggage
master entered the car, and, trying to
cOncillate the warning elements, said in
a soothing manner to the passenger:
But why do you not take the trunk
off the seat? Don't you see that owing
to your stubbornneSs the train is now
ten minutes late?"
"'But why on earth should 1 take
this trunk down? There is no power
that can compel me to.
Cali three of the railroad officials now
approached the passenger to eject him,
when the other passenger, who had
been an amused eyewitness to the quar-
rel, said quietly, But why should he,
indeed, be compelled to take it down?
1t is my trunk not his?'"

The Dime Museum.

The girls of muscle, who saw wood for
living, handled unlimited quantities
of cord wood at the dime museum yes
terday, greatly to the delight of the
crowds that flocked there to see them.
1t is most extraordinary sight and one
that will not be soon forgotten. They
actually saw the wood. and the pieces
are not little sticks of pine either.
They hold the log firmly upon the saw
horse with their knees, and bob the
saw up and down with remarkable en-
ergy. They do not make farce of it,
but saw in dead earnest for there
are valuable prizes for those who
win. The girl finishing a stick
first at each performance gets 81.
A pretty girl, who comes all
the way from Saco, Mo-, was the most
successful one yesterday. She won
four out of the six contests. One of the
girls is not much of sawyer. but she
creates no end of fun by the odd way in
which she illustrates the feminine
method of working. Besides the wood
sawyerS there are number of interest
ing features in curio hall. The farce of
"Cloytilde, or the Crushed Hat" made a
great hit upon the upper stage. The
Murphy 81 Murphy Speciality company
give bright vaudeville entertainment
In the lower theater. The features are
the Irish sketch of the Murphys, the
Sans Souci quartette, and Leonora, the
wonderful contOrtiOnment.

Loss OF A STEAMER.
The Conserva Believed to Have
Gone Down With All on Board,

New YORK, March 25.-The steamer
Colorado, from Galveston, which ar
rived here yesterday, reports having on
Saturday morning, when 104 miles south
of New York. sighted and picked up a
Ife-raft on which were the dead bodies
of two men. A large quantity of wreck
age was sighted in the same locality.
and 1t IS believed that some steamer
went to pieces in the storm Wednesday.
Among the wreckage were several
cabin doors, an extension table,
lounge and six newly painted cabin
doors, but nothing was discovered to in
dictate the name of the unfortunate YES
sci. 1t is feared that the lost steamer
was the Conserva. formerly known as
the Madrid, which was fitted out here by
the Dominican government, and which
sailed from. Brooklyn last Tuesday,
bound nOminally for Panama. Her
crew, with the exception of the officers,
were nearly all West Indians or Malays.
She had twenty-Seven men aboard, all
OF whom were picked up hastily in this
city just previous to her departure.
The storm of Wednesday may have
driven her in the direction of Cape
Henry. She carried four life boats and
a small launch, and if it proves that she
was wrecked there is still hope that the
majority of her officers and crew got off
safely in the boats. The British steam
ship Marlborough, which arrived from
st. Kits yesterday, reports having
passed, on March 90, steamer with
her machinery disabled. 4 British
steamer was standing by the disabled
vessel. The latter's hull was painted
dark red, with white stripe at the
plank shear. The crew of the Flam-
borough say the disabled steamer re-
sembled the Clyde line steamer Sagi-
nav, which is now about due here from
Panama.
CONFIRMATORY EVIDENCE.
A dispatch received at the Maritime
exchange tends to strengthen the belief
that the wreckage passed by the Mallory
line steamship Colorado. off Cape
Charles Saturday, is from the steamer
COnserva. The dispatch states that the
steamship Gate City, from Savannah,
reports that on Mar CHI Is. at 10 a. M, in
latitude SSH, longitude 1850, she passed
one metallic lifeboat and one lap-streak
boat, the latter newly pointed. The
firststhree letters of the name on the
large boat looked like Son." The
Gate City passed also in the same vicin-
lty sofa and other furniture and Joiner
work, the latter painted white. The
Wreckage apparently came from a
steamer. 1t had not been long in the
water. AT the exchange the belief was
quite general that the wreckage was no
doubt part of the Conserva. 1t is well
known that the Conserva must have
been caught in the severe storm which
swept the Atlantic this week.

Attacked by Swapping Turtles.

Poughkeepsie News-Press.
While the five-year-old son of John Y.
w. Purcell was playing boat in
mud pond or flag marsh on the "Island,"
as is called strip of wet wooded land
on the Thomas Fl. Tremper tract. in the
town of Rochester. he was attached by
a large number of swapping turtles. very
numerous in that section. and sustained
several severe bites from the hitherto
conside red inoffensive reptiles. No
cause is known for the attack and in
that section is entirely unprecedented.
1t seems the first warning the little fell
low had was general gathering around
him, each uttering a peculiar croaklng
noise.
The little tot, being questioned about
it by the attending physician, said:
''Zay all commenced to hollar, an l frew
tones at 'em. Zen yunned an failed,
an gay all bite my legs Fan foots an hurt

his screams, rushed TO his assistance,
only to find him completely su rounded

chewing him to pieces and su cking his
blood. and it was with some difficulty
that she beat them Off with a clothes

OFFICIALLY DENIED,

A Traffic Agreement Between the
Wisconsin Central and Northern
Pacific-Not Lease.
New YORK, March 25.-The reports
OF lease or consolidation of the Wis
consin Central by the Northern Pacific
are denied by the officials of both COM
panies. 1t is officially stated, however,
that traffic agreement between the
two companies will be consummated at
the special meeting of the Northern
Pacific directors Oh Wednesday. The
Wisconsin Central company is aDso-
lutely controlled by G. L. Colby, Col
gate Hoyt and Edwin ii. Abbott, the
stock certificates not carrying voting
power, and the three gentlemen named
have been directors of the Northern
Pacific road since 1877, since they went
in with Henry Willard. Since that time
the Wisconsin Central has worked as a
close connection of the Northern Pacific,
and it was generally understood that a
traffic agreement would ultimately be
made.
