A Little Rim of Steel.

"I'll tell you what it is," remarked
an old railroad man to-day, 81,
used to be that they couldn't turn
wheel any too fast for me, but it's
different now. The way these fell
lows run nowadays makes my hair
stand on end. We used to think
that twenty-five or thirty miles an
hour was high running. People
were just as we'll satisfied, if not
more so, than now, and there weren't t
so many accidents. Those days
when man got on the ground there
was some chance of his getting
away alive; but when you touch
the ground on one of these fast
trains now you're mighty liable to
stay there. People are getting to
look upon mile minute as
common thing, and are just howl
ing mad at a road that does not
make it. They never stop to think
of danger. All they think about is
getting to their destination"
why, when stop and think of
being whirled across the country
fifty or sixty miles an hour, down
hills and around curves, with only
an inch and half of iron between
me an eternity, | get so scared !
swear never to get on coach again.
What do l mean by an inch and
half of iron? Well, you know what
a passenger coach is, don't you?
You know how they are built. A
coach is.a pretty solid thing now
adays, and to look at one person
would think they were pretty safe,
but that's because you don't know
anything about it. The coach itself
is sll right as far as it goes, but it's
the wheels. Did you ever look at
the wheels? If you did you may
have noticed how they're made. A
good size, broad enough, and heavy
enough, and with tire of the finest
kind of steel. But on the inside of
the tire you see sort Of rim or
flange. That flange is about an
inch and half thick and about the
same in depth. 1t doesn't look as
if it amounted to much, that little
piece of steel, but that's what the
lives of all the passengers depend
upon. That flange keeps the wheel
to the rail and keeps the coach
from running off the track.
well, now, when the train is
going Fifty miles an hour around a
curve you see how much depends
upon that fiange. The whole weight
and speed Of the train is against
that flange on one side, the outside
curve, and it is all that keeps the
coach from whirling from the track.
Suppose the t1ange broke, or as is
often the case, was worn down and
been missed by the car inspector.
The chances are ten to one that the
dange couldn't hold, but would
climb the rail and there'd be another
accident. The reporters would be
,old that the rails spread or some
hing of that kind, and no one but
the company would know what
caused the accident.
"There are good many accidents
hat happen that way, but it doesn't |
appear to be any of the public's
business. AS general rule coach
Wheel is watched mighty closely.
md the minute the hange begins to
wear new ones are put on, but many
! time an inspector will miss a
Wheel, and the chances are big that
here'll be an accident"

AFtMALE s1owAWAY.
She Crosses the Atlantic to Ask q
Question.

The first female stowaway to ar
rive in the United States from Eu-
rope arrived on board the steamship
Teutonic, which landed her passen-
gers at the Barge Office yesterday
afternoon. She is a typical Irish
woman, about SO years Of age, with
rugged features and a beautiful
brogue. Her name is Jane Jones,
says the New York Press, and ac-
cording to her story she is the wife
of a British ex-man-of-war's r's-man
and the mother of a "foine" family
of boys and "gurrls.'
When the boarding inspector
went aboard the steamer at the pier
yesterday afternoon he was told
there was one stowaway-a woman.
He almost tainted when he heard
it, but after bracing up he took Jane
in charge and took her to the Barge
Office.
Mrs. Jones seemed proud of her
position and took great interest in
telling how she managed to steal
her way here. To a reporter she
said she has lived with her husband,
a British pensioner at Queenstown,
for many years. Three years ago
her eldest daughter, Sallie, a comely
lass, came to this country and Sc
cured good work. Soon she man.
aged to save up enough money to
bring out her brother Dick.
Sallie promised to send money
for her young sister, Rosie. She
did not do SO; and the fact greatly
worried old Mrs. Jones. The day
the Teutonic was due at Queens
town Mrs. Jones called her husband
at an early hour and gave him his
breakfast.
''Now be good boy while / am
away" she said.
He stared at her with wide-open
eyes but said nothing.
"Oh, I'm going to America. You
needn't look scared I'll get there"
she said by way of explanation.
"Shure you have no money!"
said Mr.. Jones.
mo NATTER said Jane. "I'm
going to dress myself in my best
and find out why Sallie has not
sent for Rosie"
Accordingly she bedecked herself
in new gown, tied a mammoth
green bow under her chin and placed
on her head a little straw bonnet.
She went to the tender and had no
in getting on the steamer.
Once there she made herself at
home. No questions were asked
her; she did not volunteer any in
formation, and the steamer set sail
with her on board.
When the passengers tickets were
taken up she was discovered, and
said that she had boarded the ves-
sci to see some friends off. The
people on board treated her kindly,
and the ships people gave her
plenty of food, so that she had
very pleasant time.
AS she concluded her story she
said "Oh, I'm so glad I'm here,
out I'm afraid they'll start me back.
Oh, if l could only see Sallie and
Dick! l know they would come
md take care of me-"
Colonel Weber referred the case
20 Collector Erhardt yesterday, and
that Mrs. Jones be re-
as she is without money,
friends or baggage. 1t had been
he intention to send her back by
he Majestic, which sailed yester-
lay, but the old lady's luck stood
~ her, and the vessel sailed before
he could be placed on board. Now
he will have a week in which to
vait for her children to turn up, or
or some kind-hearted fellow-coun-
ryman who reads her story to be-
riend her.

CLARKsDuRo, W. Va, Nov. 2.-Ir
Fridays issue OF the Clarksburg Ttle

moral character OF Hon. John Basel
the well known lawyer. The article in
question Is too vilo for reproduction in
the iNrELLldEScER. It has NO political
bearing, but Is Of personal nature. Iti
appearance created a great sensation in
the community and conjectures were
made as to what the oulcome would be.
About ten o'clock Saturday morning, as
Richards was returning from the post.
Office, he was assaulted by Edward

OF age. and second sou OF John Basel.

was apparently aimed at tho

the spine and intlicting u dangerous

unfortunate outcome OF its publication.
A later dispatch says: The Richards.
