Why He Married the Lawyer.
From the Philadelphia Press.

How did you come to marryp Tho
question was asked by an acquaintance of
a prosperous looking man of about 40 years
of age, who sat near a window in the sitting
room at the Girard Yesterday.
"Welb" he replied, after a little hesita-
ton, 'pll tell you. At the age of IS my
father died. Being his sole heir, my mother
having died previously, found upon my
hands rolling mill in the center of the
state. took full charge of the works, but
nadu't run them six months when a little
orphan boy employed there was seriously
injured in fact, crippled for life. He was
under the legal age, aud besides, the acct
dent was the result of a gross piece of negli-
gence on t part of my superintendent.
The child soon obtained friends to help
HIM. They brought suit and obtained a
verdict of $1,000 damages. I had retained
the best council that l could find, but it
awaited nothing. OF course we appealed
but the supreme court only put their seal of
approval upon the findings of the lower
tribunal. One of the particularly curious
things about the matter was that the child
was represented by female lawyer, COM
paratively young and very attractive and
enter tanning.
NOW the entire plant, mortgaged as it
was was worth only about $50. 900; so when
the Judgment ha been satisfied and other
costs and charges had been paid, / found
myself in very frightened circumstances.
Now comes the curious part of the story.
The female lawyer, shortly after the case
had been finally settled, adopted the boy.

ton. l must confess that her charms COM

CHICAGO, Aug. 25, IL P. M.-The result
of the meeting Of the superintendents aud
managers Of the various railroads IN the
city this morning and afternoon TO settle
the strike was victory for the men. They
demanded an increase of pay of three cents
an hour for engineers. and a cent and
a-half an hour for fremen. Their demands
were conceded and the strike ended.

In an hour after the settlement had been
reached work was resumed as usual This
evening, however, tie switchmen OF the
association, thinking the time ripe TO
demand an increase Of wages, and hoping

engineers held. meeting and resolved to
demand an increase Of 3 cents per hour.
Without any formality aud before their
demands could be officially communicated
10 the association the switchmen declared
a strike, and at $50 O'Clock tonight
every man left his pest and the stock yards
railro DIS we're once more tied up. The
outcome of this later strike cannot be pre-
dicted. The principal cause Of the associa-
ton contesting the first strike was that the
engineers and fremen first struck and made
their demand afterward, instead OF first
submitting their demand. Now the switch
men have committed the same offense of
tying up the yards without first giving the
association an intimation of their grievances
and demands, and the latter may conclude
to fight the strike, as an occasion for dis
ciplining the men into recognizing the
rights of the company.

Locomotive Driver IN the Country.

Locomoriv Driver in the Country.
From the NeW York Star.
PORT JERvIs, Aug. 21.-There was an
unique celebration here on Monday night,
conducted by the local lodge OF the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers and other
prominent railroad men. The event com.
memorated was the fiftieth anniversary of
the service of the veteran Benjamin Half
ner as railroad fireman and engineer. Mr..
Haffner is indisputably the Oldest locomo-
tive engineer in term of service in the
United States When barely 20 years
old, on Aug. Is. 1910. he en-
tered the service of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company as fire
man on an engine running between Baltl-
more and Cumberland. Two years later no
was promoted to the post of engineer OF
frst-class passenger train. He ran on the
Baltimore and Ohio in this capacity until
1S4S when he came to Port Jer Wis and en-
tered the employ of the Erie rallroad as en-
gineer of express passenger trains between
this place and New York. He left the Erie
| in connection with the strike in 1854 and
worked on other lines until 1858, when he
returned to his old place on the Erie road
and has since, for thirty five years, remained
continuously in the company's employ.
Engineer Haffner is now past 70 years
old. but he IS hale and hearty veteran
and does duty every day as engineer of
pusher engine on the Shawangunk mountain
grade. east of here. In one respect his
career is without parallel. During his
whole term of nearly half a century as an
engineer running fast passenger trains, not
one of the millions Of passengers that have
Travelled under his charge has been killed or
even seriously hurt. He has not escaped
accidents. and has himself gone down EN-
bankments five times in the cab of his de-
rallied locomotive; but his passengers have
been carried through in safety. His re-
markable nerve, skill and good fortune in
his perilous calling have won for him the
soubriquet Of the Flying Dutchman."

The Most Conspicuous Characteristic

The Most Conspicuous CHARACTERISTIC
OF the Dwellers in Tacoma
From the Tacoma Record.
Are you bow-legged! Nearly every
body in Tacomais."
Such was the remark of one gentleman to
another, as they stood listening TO the music
on the Tacoma hotel porch last evening.
The person addressed had bis lower limbs
encased in extra wide trousers. and there
fore the croOkedness or straightness OF those
articles could not be CLEANED by the super
fetal glance.
Acting upon this remark Of the ap-
parently observing gentleman, who was
visitor on his way to Alaska, Record
reporter started out 10 investigate the sub
Jet for himself While walking up Ninth
street this morning he kept his eyes open,
and what he saw indeed surprised him.
Hardly man Of youth trod mp the hill from
Pacific avenue to Railroad street who was
not afflicted with bow in either or both
legs. The victims were in all stages OF the
terrible affection, and the eye OF an observer
could detect he who had but recently
started to curve underneath, and also he
who had 'been there" for years.
Out Of fifty men, youths and boys who
struggled up that hill Just thirty-five were
bow-legged, some much 50 and some just
little bit so. In every group OF three or
more the majority carried with them Dent
lower limbs. One man almost tread one
foot upon the other as he walked, while
another. handsome young fellow with a
beautiful blonde moustache, stepped out in
curious way, apparently conscious of the
fact that his limbs we're beginning to turn.
and evidently seeking to hide the fact from
the general public.
The cause OF so much crookedness in the
City of Destiny is natural one and surely
insurmountable one-the hills. To climb
them-and Tacomans cannot do without
climbing them in some degrees a ST. ain
on the neither limbs, aud gradually they give
way and in some cases bring humiliation to
their owners. There are plenty of hand
some young men in Tacoma to-day who
would give anything to have their legs
Strengthened, and as much can be said OF
plenty of the young ladies in Tacoma.

A NEGRO TO RUN AGAINST CRISP.
The Black Republicans Nominate P.

The Black Republicans Nominate P.
Q. Gibson for Congress.
AMERIcUs, GA, Aug 25.-The republican
congressional convention met here to-day
and nominated Peter o. Gibson of Dodge to
oppose Judge Crisp. He is the same negro
who made the race two years ago. The
nomination was bv reclamation. A resolu-
ton was passed by the convention indorsing
Dudley for the Americas postoffice. Abe
Hirsch was the only white republican pres
emit, and he received the contempt of the
negro delegates. Dudley, who was presi-
dent of the convention, vacated the chair
and made speech against Hirsch, charging
him with being a republican for revenue
only. He told him that when
he brought forth fruit that would
entitle him to recognition it would be time
enough to consider his claims for office.
Hirsch has been liquor dealer in Ameri-
Gus for twenty years. and claims to have
been long a republican, but his active sup
port OF that party only dates back to the
time he applied for the Amercus postoffice.
