Exciting Experience of Pittsnurs Iron

Exciting Experieuce of Pittsburg Iron
Manufacturer on u Pullman sleeper.
An iron-manufacturer of this city had
thrilling experience on the PeDnsy lvania
Railroad a few days since that so far has
not found its way into print. He had en-
gagged ten sections in sleeper at Philadel-
phia for himself and family. but by some
mistake the first section OF the train, to
which the party belonged, pulled out OF the
Philadelphia depot before the family ar
rived. There was hustling for lew
minutes and another sleeper was found and
nut into the second section, and, as there
was no time for proper makeup, the sleeper
was placed next the tender of the locomo-
tive. All went well enough until the train
had come some distance down the western
slope of the mountain. when the manu-
facturer happened to notice tAat the car was
running at Il terrific rate OF speed. turning
to look for the locomotive he was horror
| stricken to see it Scudding away ike the
| wind trying to keep out of the way OF the
| train, and the engineer making frantic mo-
| tions for something to be done.
The passenger seized the brake-wheel
| and was further horrihed to find the chalu
broken. By this time the engineer, seeing
| that the passenger had sense enough lelt u
act. slowed the locomotive until the hylns
train came within ear shot and called to the
| iron-maker to run into the lavatory anc
urn on the air brake. He o6eyed, bu
found the door locked and some one lnsld
who refused to open the door. There wa
no time for explanation, SO he kicked tn
door in and caught the valve just as tn
irate occupant was getting in good iightln
trim. The latter then comprehended tn
situation and gave over his belilgeren
demonstrations. The speed OF the tral
was slackened sufficiently to allow IL I
connect with the locomotive, and repair
were made. The trouble with the epginee
was that the coupling had pulled out of tn
sleeper, and, adhering TO the tender, mad
connection dangerous while high raj

CANADIAN TRADE,
Advocates Of Sherman's Recipro-

Views Of Chairman Hill Of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
National Legislation Measures Likely to
Receive the Attention Of Congress
During the Week.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Sena.or Sher-
mans scheme for reciprocity with Canada
has found great deal of favor. Congress-
man Hill, Chairman OF the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, is enthusiastic in its favor.
He said this morning: "The present Tory
Government of Canada has what is called q
standing offer Of reciprocity, but it is lin
tied TO list of agricultural products which
they export to the United States, and which
we never send to Canada, and this is fire.
Quently referred TO by Tory voters who. de-
sire trade with the United States, and
which Sir John Macdonald and his follow
ers by this ingenious device can say that
they offer and we refuse. We would prob
ably sell to them with unrestricted reci-
procity S100,000.000 worth of our goods and
products per annum. and that trade would
go on increasing We had one-sided and
unfair reciprocity under the treaty of 1854,
which was so unsatisfactory that we ter
minated it. But even under that arrange
ment trade with Canada increased by leaps
and bounds. With reciprocity, their tariff in
the meanwhile standing against Europe, we
would sell them within the next five years
nearly everything they get outside their
limits. That is, most of the imports of
Canada would be drawn from the United
States. On their side they would reap even
greater advantages by entering upon new
prosperity, like one of our Western States"

There was great deal Of curiosity eX-

persons and all were greatly astonished at
its immense size.
The curious object was laid upside down
and had the appearance of an immense bat

fourteen 1eet from tip TO tip or sideways,
and from head to tail eight feet. Its lnl.
mense mouth was two feet wide, and instead
OF teeth there was rough covering over the
lips. 1t appeared to have only a backbone,

seal and OF dark color Two immense eyes
were seen just under two flukeS foot an d

On the underside were half n dozen open
ings on each side of the center, which fur
nished the lungs with air, and acted as gills
in a fish.
The weight is about fifteen hundred
pounds, and twelve men aud block ana
tackle were USED TO load it and unload IL
from dray. This peculiar fish is common
to the bay, numerous small ones having
been caught over the hay during the presenl
summer. 1t Is properly called the devil

Although California fruit sales were short

MEXICO'S ARMY.
A Scheme fer Its Reorganization aud
Reduction,

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept 7.-Presdent Diaz
is maturing plan for tho reduction of the
army, which, it is intended, shall be conf
posed solely of volunteers. 1t is be-
lieyed, as far as can be judged
at present, that it would have the
effect of eliminating criminal and
otherwise undesirable elements from the
army, which, it is said. will hereafter be
principally used in the northern and
southern frontiers and in the terri
forg--'c tory occupied by Indians. There are
large numbers of officers supported
on the retired list, and if these are disbanded
it will be a saving to the country of several
millions annually. So as not to offend the
more than one hundred and fifty
generals and other officers in proportion,
if the Presidents plan is carried into effect,
it is supposed that many of these officers
would find employment in the National
Guard, and other positions in the service Of
tha
