Take Warning.

Take Warning.
There is no habit so dangerous and
ruinous as that of everlasting chewing
and smoking cigarettes. Harry Cage,
who learned his trade at this Office,
almost lost his life by it. He was
working at the Statesman Office on
Wednesday night, and left the room
for a moment, and was found several
minutes later lying in the hall in an
unconscious condition. DIR. Bland
was summoned, and after working
with him for several hours, finally got
him bit better. He was unable to
walk and was removed to his home in
the st. Clair omnibus DIR. Bland says
the attack was the result of cigarette
smoking and death would ensue if he
did not quit it. Harry smoked as ma
ny as fifteen day. Boys cannot be
too careful about their habits. The
nicotine in the cigarette destroys the
nervous system and affects the lungs.

Miss Ella Collins, OF Lewis county,
put some straw in one Of the fire
places OF her fathers elegant new
house, TO burn out the SCOT which
was falling, and defect in the
chimney near the attic allowed the
fire TO come through, and in a few
moments the roof was in a cloud Of
smoke. All the family being away
there was no one TO render assistance,
and in short time the house and its
contents were DESTROYED.

A Splendid Road.

One Of the best roads in the State is
THE Grade, a splendidly kept drive
from Shepherdstown to the magnif-
cent farms of Henry Shepherd, Esq,
a wealthy and public-spirited citizen
of the county. Mr.. Shepherd keeps
up the road at his own expense, and
with its easy grades, good drainage
and fine scenery, it makes pleasant
drive at all times. Mr.. Shepherd is
now contemplating macadamizing the
road for the entire distance Of four
miles, and il he shall carry out his
ideas it would undoubtedly be the
finest road in the State.

A Great Army Of Employees.

The semmi-annual muster OF the
employees of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company has just been made,
and President Roberts finds himself
in command of an army of SO. 1858 men
and boys. Counting in the president
himself. the number is 50, 1863. In this
total is included every one who serves
the company directly, from the presi-
dent down 10 the smallest water boy
on gravel train. and these men man.
age and operate a grand total OF 1881
miles of railway. The employees are
very unevenly distributed over the
company's vast system. Upon the
1877 miles of road from Pittsburg TO
New York 45, 227me find employment.
Their work is confined 10 the United
Railroads of New Jersey and the main
line from Philadelphia TO Pittsburg,
with its branches On the 1896 miles
OF leased, operated and controlled
lines east of Pittsburg and Erie the
employees number 11,6S9. They oper-
ate the Philadelphia and Erie, North
ern Central, Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore, New York, Phila-
delphia and Norfolk, Baltimore and
Potomac, Alexandria and Fredericks-
burg, West Jersey, Camden and At
lantic, Cumberland Valley and Allie
cheney Valley Roads and their nu-
merous branches. All told, there are
SO, 9l6 men employed by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad on its 4,2l3 miles OF
road east of Pittsburg and Erie. The
employees on the lines west OF Pitts
burg and Erie number S2,45S. The
system comprises the lines OF the
Pennsylvania Company, the Pitts
burg. Cincinnati and st. Louis, Cleve-
land and Pittsburg and half dozen
other roads stretching through 3,S6S
miles of territory. This completes
the total OF 1869 men. Assuming
that each OF the $4,000 employees has
three persons dependent upon him,
the Pennsylvania Railroad gives bread
and butter To nearly 500, 900 persons,
and if those indirectly employed are
taken into account it furnishes sup
port, entire or in part, 10 about half
a million men, women and children.

Almost the entire town OF Smithfield,
in Johnston county, \. c., was CON
sumed by fire last Saturday. The only
buildings which remain standing are
the county courthouse and Jail and "a
few dwellings. Every store in the
town and many dwellings were con
sumed. The fire originated about
one o'clock, and in two hours the
town was in ashes. The wind was
raging at terrific rate, and The
flames swept over the town like hur-
ricane. There was no fire depart
ment to fight the flames, and the
people were powerless to resist the de-
vouring sweep. The total loss is es-
timated at upward OF 100000. Much
of the property was insured. The fire
originated in the carriage factory Of

We believe this is a good time to
again start the work of brick making
in Shepherdstown. There promises
to be good demand for brick this
spring and summer, and with all the
good clay in this locality it seems a
pity to go away and buy bricks. If a
good kiln is burnt and sold at a rea-
sonable price it won't be long until
the demand will make the inverst-
ment paying one.

THE CAT SAVED THE TRAIN.
A Young Fireman Tells How the
Deed Was Done.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
AS the train was about to pull out of
the Broad street station l recog niZed an
old friend in the engineer. He nodded
to me, and jumped into the cab. Dick
and l shook hands and he introduced
me to his fireman, young fellow with
large, truthful, honest eyes, and saw
the most innocent-looking face l ever
saw. Perched on the seat was huge
black cat, ugly, scraggy, and with a
ground plan of fur that looked like a
railroad map, it was so plowed and cut
up. Naturally noticed the cat, and
asked what it was doing there.
That's a wonderful cat" said the
youthful fireman, land thereby hangs
a tale. Do you want it?''
"Of course"
swell, about a week ago We-Dick
and me-were making the run between
Philadelphia and Trenton. 1t was a
dirty, black night-cold and driving
rain, and we were-that is, Dick was
behind time, and we were-that is, Dick
was-making her hum for all she was
worth. We-that is, Dick-had clear
track and right of way. A few feet
ahead of the pilot it was as black as
nothing. We were driving into chaos
at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
could not help thinking that if we ran
into anything we'd know more about
the other world than was ever written
in books, and [ said little prayer that
] learned in Sunday school. The prayer
didn't seem to do me much good. and l
asked Dick if it was necessary to run so
fast. Dick gave me look of mild con-
tempt. and then | got on my dignity
and felt as if I'd rather like to strike
something, just to change that look of
Dicks to one of surprise. This was
wicked, | knew, but couldn't help it.
Suddenly there was an awful crash
directly in front of me, a splintering of
glass in the cab window, and this cat
up in my throat and thought I'd choke.
saw Dick turn pale. and, terrified as l
was. remember being glad at it. He
didn't lose his head, though-Dick never
dOes-but reversed the machine, and
when the train was stopped. we-that is
Dick-gOt out to investigate. And
wha6 do you think? There was rail
misplaced within a dozen feet of the
place where we had stopped. The flag
man at the switch had seen it, and had
stationed himself up the track to signal
us. He had pet cat, which followed
him wherever he went. The cat was
with him, as usual. Wnen ne
heard us laundering down upon
HIM his lantern went out. He laid
it down to relight it; gust of wind
caught it and it rolled down the en-
bankment. Here was state of things.
The flagman was quick to act, however,
and grabbing his faithful cat by the tail
he hurled iU at the cab as we ratified by.
Here is the cat that saved our train.
Didn't Won Danger p''
The cat bumped its ugly back in recog-
milton, and | looked at the frank, in
nocent face of the boy. He returned
the look with wide-0pen, truthful eyes.
Shades of Mt. Vernon! What a liar
that fellow is" said Dick to me in
whisper, HE has the reputation Of be,
ing the biggest liar on the road. He'd
finish first in a race with Tom Ochiltree.
That cat story is his latest saved the
train business. l saw him fish that cat
out of the ditch few days ago"

CHICAGO, Dec 2l-The news in wheat was
not so strong today as for two days past, but
there were signs of weakening on the part
of the big bears and short sellers. and this
enabled the market to rebound somewhat,
selling lie over the last prices yesterday, and
the opening price this morning for May.
British cables were firm, but not particularly
bulhsh. Receipts here were very light. only
90 cars. Minneapolis received pit cars, aud
Duluth but 81. Export elearauces were not
so large as expected for Saturday. The fig
ures were 7S, 900 bu of wheat and $4,000
pkgs of flour from the three principal ports.
or an equivalent of 100000 bu of wheat.
The clearances wheat and flour, for
the week from the three ports were
equal TO l,6SS, 900 bu of wheat against
$4,000 Blu. year ago. Some twelve
boat loads were reported taken for export at
New York before noon. The best estimates
on the visible supply indicate slight de-
crease for Monday. The market started at
the lowest figure of the day at S2s4c for May,
Schwartz Dupee, Baldwin d Farnum and
Hutchinson selling. The scalping crowd
were less bearish. There were some good
buyers In the pit-lrwin-G Green, BrosSeau,

turned buyers after IL got to S3c. After GO
ing back to S3ssc there was bulge to S3ssc
about noon. This was followed by let
down to s3Ac, and followed shortly before
the close by third bulge to S3s4c,
thus completing the one cent advance for
the day The marked before the close was
very brold and strong, and sentiment more
bulllSh than for a month. Wheat closed very
strong at the top price of the day. Receipts
were 10 cars winter wheat 46 cars spring,
455 cars corn and 139 cars of oats. With
drawals from store were 2,2)S bu winter
wheat. &c. 2SS bu corn and 1891 bu oats.
The corn market was firm today considering
receipts Receipts were 455 cars. and the
latest estimate for Monday was ST. Decem-
Der corn was again squeezed little, selling
up to 80 &c and closing at 33c. Hutchinson
is said TO have settled with one short house
at 33Isc for 100000 bu. Oats were quiet
and a shade lower. Larger receipts of pigs
than looked for and some selling of pork
weakened prices for that article. Lard and
ribs were also easier. There was no trading
of importance.
