He Sacrificed His Liberty in Order to Sucs
cor n Suffering Woman.
Prescott (Ariz.) Journall
How strangely the good and bad inter-
mingle in the breast of man is strikingly
shown BY the train OF circumstances attend
ing the recapture of Smith, the train robber,
who is now awaiting trial in the county
Jail. In March last he, in company with
three others, robbed the eastern bound At
lantic and Pacific express at Canyon Diablo,
and month afterwards, after one of the
longest chases on record, the party was cap
tured by Sheriff 0'Neil and posse in Utah.
While on the return trip to Arizona Smith
effected his escape by jumping from car
window on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe while the train was rapidly descending
the RatOn Mountains in New Mexico.
He at once struck out Tor Texas, taking
horses wherever the opportunity presented
and riding them a. long as they were able
to carry him. On the afternoon of the
ninth day, while in the Panhandle, near
Vernon, Smith discovered a woman aim
lessly wandering over the prairie, and recog-
nizing the fact that she must be lost or in
trouble, he rode up and accosted her. She
informed him that she had been lost two
days, during which time she had gone
without food. Knowing that in her ema-
ciated condition she could not possibly sur
vive much longer without assistance, Smith,
the escaped train-robber, fleeing though he
was to escape trial for crime the penalty
of which was death, and still carrying on
each leg his broken shackles, bethought him
of a windmill he had passed some eight
miles back, and, putting the woman on his
horse, conducted her TO it.
He left her, and riding along the wire
fence that inclosed the windmill for five or
six miles, until he discovered the camp of
the men employed to keep it in repair, he
informed them of the woman's condition.
They at once saddled, and, although the
night was nearly gone, started at once for
the windmill, and found the woman-a
young school teacher-weak, but still alive,
and at once brought her to place where
she was cared for. AT daybreak the Sheriff
and posse in pursuit of Smith met the same
men, and, finding from their account and
description in which direction the fugitive
had gone, pursued him.
Before high noon they had overtaken him,
and Smith, the train robber, who, less than
"a hours before had turned from his way to
succor an unfortunate woman, was shot from
his saddle while resist G an arrest which
he might have prevented by avoiding the
delay and observation so entailed. The
story is good enough to have moral, but
doubtless Smith, who is now in the county
Jail awaiting trial for his life on account of
it, fails to discover it.

Cost OF a Locomotive.

One man can build an eight-wheel passeu-
ger locomotive for standard gauge railroad
in L. 500 days. 1t will require I,65O days'
work for him to build a consolidated ten
wheel locomotive for standard gauge. The
average cost of the required la Dor would be
81. .635, and the cost OF the necessary metal
is usually estimated at about $1,000. The
profit may be put down at another 81 600,
which would include the expenses OF sale
and delivery. This would make an engine,
when absolutely ready for service and COM
plete in every way, worth about 1865.

Prevention of Typhoi5 Feyer.

1t is generally conceded that nothing is
nineteenth century than the existence of
typhoid feve Or. Edison, of the New York
Health Department, in late report, thus
sums up the logical conclusions drawn from
the investigations undertaken by him:
Typhoid Iever never infects the atmos-
phere; it never arises de novo; the causes of
the disease, il order of their frequency, are
as follows: First, injected water; second,
injected milk; third, infected ice; fourth,
digital infections; fifth, injected meat" DR.
Edison states that with the observance of the
ordinary obvious precautions suggested by
these conclusions the disease should not
exist.

there was full demand for the offerings.

denial of the intention of the company to make
any bond issue or to increase the stock Of the

from its opening figure, retaining all but q

The Coal stocks became the special feature
of the day, and Jersey Central scored another
advance to l22 which was l per cent higher

favorable bank statement, however, caused
some reaction, and the best prices were not
maintained at the close, which, however. was
firm at the figures The Susquehanna and

trial development and progress In mechani-
cal, civil and electrical engineering and the
sciences can have their queries answered
through this column.
The recent visit of the American en-
gineers to England has had interesting and
beneficial results beyond its mere scientific
and industrial advantages. The Hon.
Arthur Wellesley Peel, the Speaker of the
House of Commons, at dinner given to
the American engineers, at bennington,
said: 1.-THE telegraph has added immensely
to the svmpathies between the various coun-
tries of the world, and L may venture to say
that if 1 may liken the telegraph to the
nerves of the human frame, there are no
two countries on the face of the globe be-
tween which there is running a quicker
sympathy along the electric wires than be-
tween the United States and the old coun-
try. The welcome we show you in this
limited portion OF England is only the echo
and transcript of a larger welcome which
will go forth to you wherever you go. and
which, 1 hope, vou.win carry recollections
of when you again cross the Atlantic to the
United States.
In commenting on these remarks one of
the engineers says, in the Engineering ana
Mining Journal: "Mr. Peel was right.
The welcome he gave US was but sample
of what we received everywhere, and now
that we have recrossed the Atlantic the
recollection of it is the brightest memory of
our visit. Far beyond cur memory of the
Eifel tower and the Forth bridge, far
bevond our experience as engineers and
students. far beyond the emotions that were
stirred in us as we visited Westminster
Abbey and the graves OF our foreIathers,
the recollection of that welcome we received
in England, not as engineers, but as Amer
leans, stands supreme, and will last when
the other recollections fade.''
