NEARLY DASHED TO DEATH.

A Passenger Coach Deraile9 Near the Edge
of n High Wall.
Last night passenger train on the Pitts
burg, Virginia and Charleston Railroad ran
into an open switch, near Sixth street, on
the Southside, at one of the most dangerous
places on the road. For three or four
blocks the track runs on an elevation of
about 100 feet above Carson street, the
tracks being about three feet from the edge.
Fortunately the train was going slowly or
the result would have been very serious.
The passengers were not aware of the i'm
pending danger, and not until the train had
stopped for some time did they realize that
a catastrophe had been averted by mere
chance. The railroad employees denied that
the train was off the track, but passenger
who was on the train states that it was.

Comic, { Due to Ingenuity.

The ingenuity Of man is exerted manly
toward providing for the comfort of man.
This is conclusively illustrated in the folding
chairs exhibited by the Stevens Chair Com
Pany at the Exposition. When extended
these semi-couches are large enough to ac-
commodate the biggest man in reclining
position, but they can be compressed into the
compass OF square yard and carried under
the arm. The specimens on exhibition,
which are necessarily only fragment OF the
variety manufactured by the company, are
not only comiortabl able-they are beautiful in
design and elegant in finish. Everything
from plain camp stool to polished SER
retary Is finished with the most consc,e c,entious
regard for perfection Of detail.

Harmony of tone and harmony of color
are the order of the day, at this choice
exhibit in south gallery. The handsome
blue and silver pavilion is a prominent
object from any part of the hall; but even
this is lost sight of when the magnificent
pianos are taken into account. They lead
off with the celebrated Chickerlng instru-
ments which for so many years have been
those preferred by all the great artists for
public performances. Besides these there
are Wheelock, Lindeman and Stuyyesaut
makes, all popular, all pianos that sell we'll
and hold their own against all competitors.
The leading makes of organs are represented
in stock.

An information was made before Deputy
Mayor McKelvey yesterday by Mrs. Doris,
who keeps boarding house on Bird street,
Allegheny, charging man named Nc
Donald, and a woman named Stevens with
malicious mischief
1t seems that these people boarded with
Mrs. Doris, while playing at the Worlds
Museum, and that after leaving, Mrs. Doris
discovered that an offensive odor permeated
the room they had occupied-and prevented
her renting it again-hence the suit. At
the hearing it ttranspired that Mr.. Mcdonald
had purchased bottle of iodoform, tor a
dog bite, and the bottle having been upset the
loud smelling drug had been making itself
heard ever since. The defendants were dis
charged.

MAGICAL GROTTO.

Which VIII Soon be Ready for Inspection
ut the Exposition.
The He-No Tea Hong has been consid-
cred wonderfully unique exhibit and has
caught the eye of all Exposition visitors.
Many have wondered what was in the cave
like place under the little house on top of
the rocks, and many a curious individual
has lifted up the curtains Of the entrance to
look inside.
This cave when thrown open to the public
will excite their curiosity anew and their
admiration of the manner in which this
silent firm has placed the best exhibit in the
Exposition without any noise about it. The
groto is now done and will be thrown open
to visitors as soon as the Electric Light
Company furnishes lights enough. When
it is opened for public inspection it will
certainly be considered the most wonderful
creation ever attempted by the hand of man.
The walls, rugged and cave-Iike, have
been covered with different mineral dusts
and silver, gold and copper leaf On the roof
is dollars and dollars worth of gold leaf.
which shimmers in the electric lights and
sparkles the eve of the beholder. One
glance into the grotto reminds one of dreams
of fairy land. The light, in rainbow colors
is reflected from the walls on all sides. If
each inch of the walls were covered with
precious stones it would be doubtful if the
effect would be more magical at first sight.
In one corner miniature fish pond is seen
in the side the grotto and little japanese
goldfish can be seen swimming about. With
a slight stretch of the imagination one can
imagine that he is looking through crevice
in the rocks at the fish swimming in an un-
stream.
Over in one corner of the grotto will be
placed the idol Buddha It is in itself a won
deru relic.
At other parts of the grotto are staIac-
tiles-and oh! one can't half describe this
cave, but when it Is all finished
see fer themselves, and after
admiring it, can go up the stone steps to the
top and get cup OF that delicious He-No
tea that has been the byword of Exposition
visitors.

why Should They Be Angry?

I happened to be in the United
States sub-treasury on Wall street,
the other day, and was rather amused
at little incident [ witnessed. A
gentleman entered and approaching
one of the clerks, handed him a $40
bill and asked if it was counterfeit
The clerk took it, went away, and in a
few minutes returned and handed out
the bill without word. Cut across
its face with a die was the word
"Counterfeit. The rage of the owner
knew no bonds.
"'Confound your he shouted. II
didn't ask you to destroy the bill. I
simply asked you to tell me if it were
counterfeit. It's worthless now"
ut never was of any value" mildly
responded the clerk, "and the rule of
the department is that all bills offered
in this way must be defaced when
,eounterfeits before returning them to
the party presenting them
Now that, remarked the examiner
to me, lis an almost daily occurrence.
A man gets counterfeit bill passed
ON him, and. being in doubt, he comes
in here to ask about it, and it is de-
stroyed for him. He is naturally in
dignant, as doubtless he gave value
for it, and would like to have a chance
to pass it off on some one else. But
the law is imperative on us and we
must destroy all such bills under pen
atty. If that man had taken his bill
to 8 bank it would have been returned
to him O. K, but he made the mis-
take in bringing it here. The national
banks are supposed to deface counter
feits as well as the treasury. They
seldom do it, however; perhaps not in
one case out of hundred. They are
afraid of insulting a customer" -NeU
YORK Star.
