THE BLY, WOMAN.
She Plays Engineer, Writes Slang and
WhOops Things Up.

Nellie Bly, is somewhere in Kansas coming
eastward on q special train at a cost of $500 a
day. She autographed from Albuquerque, N.
NJ, yesterday as follows:
1.-THE ladies come into the car take a look at
its contents and seem specially interested in a
red and brass temple chair. presented to me In
China. 1t is a large. awkward contrivance, in
which nothing but broken-backed joss could
sit with any comfort. The monkey, which got
| at Singapore, also interests them. He is an in
telligent monkey, but very bad tempered. He
bit several persons on the steamer Oceanic. /
keep him Gagged, with his bars toward the win
dow, so he can see the country as we skim along.
THE ride through the San Francisco range
has been quite exciting l sat in the engine
coming over the Arizona divide and Engineer
Chas. Wood rashly gave me charge OF the
lever. Every now and then / pulled the throt-
tie wide open and you should see US spin along.
When we had straight piece of track let the
great machine go for all it was worth and L am
sure nothing ever went over the Atlantic and
Pacific track in quicker time. Master Mechanic
John Fuller was on the engine and he says that
he never saw quicker running. We were mp
5000 feet above the sea level got on the en-
CINE at Williams and rode to Flagstaff noun
TAIN one of the highest of the San Francisco
| range. We could see Flagstaff's snow-covered
peak for thirty miles. 1t has snow on it eleven
months in the year, am told First it was on
one side of the engine and then on the other,
the windings of the track making it appear to
change its position. l kept one eye on the
track and the other on Flagstaff peak and
watched myself approach it. When Engineer
Wood wasn't looking I'd give the lever little
pull get on little more steam and revel in the
greedy manner in which engine 49, splendid
eight-wheeler, swallowed up the track.
Perhaps the engine didn't roll! Fireman
Sid Armstrong had all he could do to keep his
feet and once or twice seemed trying to follow
his shovel and coal into the furnace. A man
away ahead on the track would one moment
look the size of pin. I'd blow the whistle
and he would no sooner step to one side than
we would be whizzing past him. l saw one
man hold his hat on as we went by. The tele-
graph poles came and went like flashes of light
ming. For a new engineer the master mechanic
said was rushing success
II have Just heard of McGinty. Isn't it sad?'

A Flag Over Every School House.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
There is a law in Pennsylvania which re-
quires that the stars and stripes shall be hoisted
over every public school honse in the state. and

good idea and should be carried out in this city.

In this way beautiful flag can be bought and

Fire in Montgomery County.

The residence of Mr.. Robert Walker Albert.
within about half mile OF the home of his
father. Charles Albert, esq, near Norbeck, in
Montgomery county. was destroyed by fire
"Wednesday afternoon. The fire is supposed to
have originated from sparks escaping from the
chimney and lodging on the shingle root. 1t
WAS about O'Clock III the afternoon that Mrs
Albert while in her bed room observed a dense
smoke outside, and running down stairs found
the rear OF the house in flames. She attempted
10 return TO her room, but the smoke rem
dered it impossible. strong wind carried the
flames through the house and allowed oppor-
tunity to save only the furniture and library
on the first floor. All the bed room furniture
and clothing were consumed. When Mr. Albert
returned from Washington in the evening two
chimneys and a smouldering pile of ruins were
ali that were to be seen of the comfortable home
he had left in the morning. His family found
refuge in the home of his father.
