A HORSE CAR ALMO r STRUCK.
Narrow Escape From a Frigbtful Ca
tastrophe ia Boston.

There was a narrow escape from serious
accident ut Roxbury Crossing. Boston, re-
Gently. A Providence express train went
across but second after a crowded Brook
line inbound horse car passed. The gates
were not down, and the driver OF course
thought 1t was safe to proceed.
The express train was due at the time.
When the horses had got upon the track tho
express was seen frigbtfully near, and men
on the platforms jumped of in alarm. The
driver lasbed his horses into run, and the
conductor belabored them with his switch
stake. Even then the car had barely crossed
when the express thundered by.
The engine driver had reversed his engine
and whistled down brakes, stopping the mo.
mentum Of the train very greatly. Had IL
not been for these combined precautions,
say the police and others who saw the mar
row escape. the horse car would have been
made a mass Of kiudling wood. They call
II a miracle. The crossing tenders began to
put down the gates when the train was
passing.

The herd of buffaloes that the Govern
ment has preserved at the Yellowstone
National Park rs almost the last speci'
mems of the noble species have got loose
and wanoered away. News of their es-
cape has been sent out in every direc'
ton, and an expedition has started in
pursuit. But up to recent date nothing
had been heard as to their whereabouts
and their recovery is doubtful. They
are likely to be picked off by settler
ard hunters, who Can get almost
fabulous price for their skins. As the
herd comprised the only known buifa'
loes in a wild state their loss is a seri'
Gus one and their slaughter would al
most complete the extinction Of q onc'

The Detroit Free Press has noticed
chat every executioner who has ever
talked or written on the subject, is
agreed that no murderer ever gives up
hope to the last second. He hopes for
a reprieve, or rescue, or that the ma
chinery of the gallows won't work, or
that something will occur to save him,
because he has almost made himself be-
Iieve that he is innocent and martyr.

1t is estimated by the NeVs that the
humber of new buildings erected in Chi
cago during the present year would il

about forty-fvc miles. The average for

new houses erected every working day.
At this rate it is evident that the cnor-

The glove fight between the colored pu

Denver, at the Puritan Athletic club, Long
Island City, N. Y, Nov. II, promises to be
one of the l~iveliest pugilistic events of the
season. Godfrey is an old timer with a
long list of victories, while Smith is a new

was the lively mill he gave Peter Jackson

promenade for spectators. The remaining
less favored but by no means i'll treated
horses are quartered in SEQ warm and
cOmmodious stalls in the basement of the
building.
Among the we'll known horses entered
was Roseberry, the great Canadian high
Jumper, whose record of I it. l in, made at
the Toronto Horse show last September,
had never been equaled or even approached
until Nov. Z, when Filemaker cleared Z TT.
IL in. at the Chicago Horse show. Rose
berry's rise to tame has been rapid. In 1888
he drew a milk wagon.
In 1899 a London (Ont.) hickman bought
him for $50. Not long thereafter Moore
house & Pepper purchased him for S167,
and in August he jumped over a 6 #. 6 in.
hurdle and into fame at Buffalo. Amongthe
other famous hunters and jumpers pitted
against Roseberry were Filemaker, Maud
and Helicon. The association offered $500 to
the horse equaling or beating. Roseberry's
record, Gen. Thomas L. Eckert offered 500
as second prize, and there were several other
valuable prizes in this class. The contest
for supremacy between Roseberry and File
maker will be one of the most interesting
events of the show
Filemaker's history is fully as romantic
as that of R%oseberry. He is supposed TO
have originally hailed from Canada, but
little is known concerning his origin. He
was owned by a Mr.. Collyer, of New York,
and ran away with that gentleman one
day while on a hunting exhibition. At the

end of the run Filemaker was SO badly
used up that Collyer left him on the field
to die or gave him to a bystander. The
animal did not die, however, but lived to
experience for a time the CALLING life of a
coal cart horse. He was rescued, it is said, by
W. e. d. Stokes, of Stokes-Fisk notoriety,
who saw the noble animal drawing his
burden of coal and was struck with his ap-
pearance. 1t was not long before File
maker won national fame by jumping over
a barrier 6 it. 81 in. high and tying Freddy
Gebhard's horse Leo.
Prominent among the numerous thor
oughbreds entered were Top Gallant, Hard
Lines, Bend Or, St. George, Helicon, Green
land, Regent, Black Dean, Cavalier and
Sharpcatcher. Among the trotting stall
ions were Mambrino King, Alcantara,

my way over I passed Mile. de Gillert, tho
premiere danseuse, who had just come
from her dressing room, preparatory to
floating on. She was standing by one of
the wings in the regulation tulle skirt
OF the French ballet, and quite Oblivious to
the fact that l and a score Of scene shutters
were %curiously watching her, she lifted first
one leg und then the other as high as her
head i'll the most serious manner, rubbed
her knees, II tiptoed about Il bit. She
was getting her legs in trim for her dance,
exactly us a musician tunes his violin.
Following my guide unquestioningly
through the crowd, | was startled by a
growl close at hand. l was within II yard
of the lions. What magnificent beasts!
They were in perfect repOse, calmly inter
ested in what was going on about them
and nothing more. A couchant lion in a
lazy mood can express more benignity in
his eyes han a clergyman.
Passing round the stage / came upon Il
picture that provoked Il smile. A plump
little ballet girl, with Il face like Il peach,
was leaning lazily against a post, her fluffy
skirts thrown nonchalantly behind her,
Il contemplating the king of beasts us
something quite new, while he was watch
ing her-oh, SO longingly! His amber eyes
said as plainly as speech:
cpd like to make two bites Of you, you
pretty little dear"
Tn clacking of castanets and the abrupt
measures Of Spanish music told me that
Roslta was on, for as a matter of course
they have a Spanish dancer here. Nothing
is complete in New York without one now.
Rosita is very pretty and young, more
graceful, more chastened in her movements
than Carmcncita, but not as supple nor as
scnsuous as OUero. | was sorry / hadn't

night, when it was lighted by myriads OF
lncandescent electric lights, was Il marvel of
beauty. The show commenced Nov. 10, to
last a week, with two performances each
day. In all $4,000 in prizes will be dis
tributed. During the week over 900 of the
best bred horses in America were booked
to enter the ring to compete in con-
tests calling for the exhibition of every
degree of equine excellence. The classes
embrace Arabs, thoroughbreds, trotters,
roadsters, Clydesdales, Normans, En-
glish shires. hackneys. coaching stall.
ions, horses in harness, carriage horses,
tandem teams, f%our-in-hand teams. cobs
and ponies in harness, saddle horses, horse
and cab, cob under saddle, ponies of all
sizes, hunters and jumpers, fire engine
horses and police horses. Many of the
prizes were offered by such we'll known peo-
pie as W.. X. Vanderbilt, W. L. Bull, Cor.
nelius Vanderbilt, w. +. D. Stokes, Hur.
rison Nixon, Prescott Lawrence, Theodore
Havemeyer and p. +. Collier.
To those who visited the new garden
during the summer past, when Strauss
and Seidl were sending h~cavenwar.: such
strains of exquisite music, the appearance
of the garden during the horse show would
seem unfamiliar. The stage was removed,
the floor taken up, and Il vast oval arena
formed, that each evening the kings and
queens of the equine kingdom might
trot, prance, jump and exhibit their re-
spective merits to the thousands of spec
tators that occupied the boxes andthronSed
the tiers upon tiers of seats rising from
the amp]Iitheutrc on every hand like the
seats of Rome's great Coliseum. Far, far
above stretches the vast roof Of glass,
unsupported by a single pillar, and
gemmed with electric lamps. Above the
center of the arena depends the great chan
delicr, the $50 separate electric lamps
ablazc and casting their i>lcllow radiance
upon the stirring scenes below.
Thu arena is 800 feet long aid 1S7 feet
wide, and around it extends a row of box
stalls in which many Of the most famous
horses are exhibited. Adjoining these stalls

In Favor of the Northern Pacific.

Secretary Noble has decided the land
case of Oestlund VS.. the Northern Pa
cific road in favor Of the company. It
involved the rights of settler on Indian
reservation land, as against those of a
railroad company to the same lands
when it's grant includes them. Oestlund
settled on the Sisseton and Wahpeton
reservation before the Indian title was
extinguished. He could gain no rights
there, the secretary says, and as the
company's land included this land. it's
rights attached on the extinguishment
Of the Indian title. The point was made
that the Indian title was wiped out by
the treaty Of 1864 with the Red Lake
and Pembina Chippewas, who gave up
the same land. The secretary says that
and the supreme court have
recognized the Sisseton and Wabpeton
title since then, and he will make no
new ruling on the question.
