A singular story, which the genius Of
a Hoffman or a Poe might make ex-
tremely effective, is hat of a man in In
diana who seems TO have been haunted
by an evil spirit in the form of a rat-or
at least that is the form the idea would
probably tlAe in the story,
Some twenty years since he was feed
iEs grain in a threshing machine, when
Il rat ran across the floor of the barn
where he was At work. He turned TO
watch it. and allowed his hand to be
drawn into the machine in his absent
m~indedEess His hand was torn off, and
be hHs .iuce been forced 10 make shift
with tA5 remaining hand which fortu-
Lately was the night
j few days since. SO the story goes, he
was feeding a threshIng machine in the
same place. when again . rat ran across
the door Remembering the old acct
dent he vented his indignation in Il vio-
lent Kick at the animal, when his foot
slipped. he lost his balance. and in re-
covering himself he let his right hand be
drawn into the machine. and it was in
turn pulled off rs the other had been.
The story is a curious one, and full of
possibilities in the way Of development
Of its marvellous side. 1t could be car
ried a little farther, and the crowning in
cident be made the death of the victim
of the maleyolent haunting rat.-Boston

PARIS, Oct. l6.-In an interview today
Dillon SAID that after the yacht on which
he and 0'Brien escaped had been out two
days the supply OF Illuminating oil ran
out, consequently it was impossible to
light the yachts lights. This made it
dangerous sailing in such a crowded water
way as the channel, and several times they
narrowly escaped being run down by
passing vessel.
O'Bnen says their sole obiectin refusing
to face the accusers TO an end in TIpperary
was to keep their engagements to speak
in aid of the Irish cause in America. He
is confident that their mission to that
country would meet with success. The
Nationalist party is in perfect accord and
Ireland has implicit confidence in Parnell.
The death of Gladstone or the bankruptcy
of the National League, were some of the
hopes Of the Tories in their fight against
parliamentary agitation for Irish bone
rule. Dillon and O'Brien will remain in
Paris eight days. when they will take
passage for New York.
Dillon said he and O'Brien will remain
in America four months. and then return
to England and surrender themselves to
the police. He laughInRly added that
they had been prisoners so often, that a
few months more or less doesn't brighten

pick civilization it seems impossible to
tell what will be applicable to all cases as
relief for antagcnism between capital and
labor. Every difficulty must be solved
upon its own merits. 1t is Just here that
intelligent labor organizations composed
Of workmen who seek to secure the right
to redress wrongs can meet their employ
ers upon grounds which will show their
mutual dependence and promote
their common benefit. 1t Is just
here that ignorance and in
competence on the one hand produces
irritation and resistance on the other.
The period ought to come when the EN-
ployes in any industry shall MT be arrayed
in hostile camps over the whole country
against the employees in the same business;
when combinations will not be of workers
on the one hand and officials on the other
against each other, but with good sense
and friendly disposition they shall meet
Upon common grounds for common good
and the overwhelming sense of common
interests.
Grand Chief Engineer Arthur was next
introduced and enthusiastically received.
He congratulated the Brotherhood on the
healthy condition of its affairs and siid in
part. Though there Is a oneness OF
purpose, there is a diversity of opinion
and l hope during the course of our de-
bates to find the equation by which the
problem of our difficulty and differences
may be 'olved. 1t is by honorable action
we have achieved success as a labor or
ganization. Not by might, not by loud
boastful assertions of what, owing TO our
numbers, we might compel corporations
to do. No, that never has been

If there be those who would
array labor against capital. [ am not one
of them or with them. If there be those
who regard the interests Of labor and cap
ital as naturally or properly a~ntagonistic.
| do not agree with them. The interests
of capital and labor are identical, or, to be
more accurate. reciprocal Any argument
respecting Labor topics which does not dis
tInctly recognize and concede the truth Of
this proposition must needs be fallacious.
and as a matter of fact it is recognized
and conceded by all eminent authorities
on the subject.
The insurance feature of the Brother
hood was touched upon at length by the
speaker. During the past fiscal year the
Brotherhood has paid to widows and
orphans and disabled members 1922, 500,
making a total of SO. 122. G69.
Addresses were also made by a number
of delegates.
Referring to the Chicago telegram stat
ing that a party OF Western engineers had
left for this city to champion the cause of
the federation, First Grand Assistant En-
gineer Hayes said: Il know nothing

question of federation. L understand
that the majority of the Western dele
gates favor such a plan. but as to what

Edward Tracy and a companion named
Gillen, of Troy, who had been enjoying
a vacation in the hop fields, stopped at
Mechanicsyille ON their way home and
were arrested as tramps. They were put
in the lookup, and their experience there
was so disagreeable that rather than re-
main another night Tracy pleaded guilty
in the hope of being sent to the county
jail To his CONSERVATION Justice Por-
ter sent him to the penitentiary for three
months. Gillen pleaded not guilty, and
tried to tell the justice that they were
more respectable than their condition
betokened. He was sentenced to the pen
itentiary for six months for his pains.
Tracy's father heard of his sons plight,
and going to Mechanicsville interviewed
Justice Porter. The latter wrote a let
ter to Superintendent Mcintyre request
ing the discharge of Tracy. OF course
Mcintyre couldn't recognize anything of
that kind. Mr.. Tracy then engaged a
lawyer, and after much difficulty secured
his sons discharge. Albany Journal

There was once a "ghost in court" con-
nected with the memorable Belt case.
Since then the phantoms nave not trou-
bled the high court very much. But
there is an action pending, all about a
will, in which u specter forms a leading
feature, and will possibly be called as a
witness. A ghost in the witness box
would caus a forensic sensation of the
first order, and wonld ''clear the court
more speedily than the efforts of a dozen
ushers. The way in which the phantom
come in to this particular case seems
to be that the ~testator, being dissatisfied
with his testamentary dispositions, revis-
tied earth by the glimpses OF the moon
told the sexton all about it. But" and
Lord Justice Bowen pertinently in
quired, "can what a ghost a y to a sex
ton be taken as evidence against any
body? The legal view would be that
such testimony required substantial cor
r~oboration, but we know from 'Silas
Marine that 'ghostesses' do not care
about being believed in by the hopelessly
ignorant London Telegraph.

RELIEVING PRESSURE.
Construction Engines and Cars Put
in Traffic Service.
The Union Pacific Stops Work on
the Milford Extension.
Coal Must Be Hauled From the
Mines of Wyoming.

Work has ceased on the Milfore exten-
sion of the Union Pacific, the proposed
line to Los Angeles. The occasion of this
is the motive power and car famine now
prevailing over the system. There are
eight miles of track laid, or as far out as
the first siding. Up to this point three
engines, each drawing trains of eighteen
cars, were in use, the size OF equipment
increasing as the distance out increased,
80 that, at fifty miles ''out to sea" seven
trains of eighteen cars each would have
been necessary to haul supplies and
material and lay track. One train was
fastened to the track machine and had to
stay with it all the time. With the de-
mand for rolling stock all over the Noun
tain division, ascending to heaven like the
cry of the Egyptians for their first born.
1t became evident to the Union Pacific
management that heroic measures were
imperative. Winter is approaching and
there is not near enough fiat. to haul
the coal from the Wyoming mines.
The withdrawal of the entire equipment
used in hauling material to Milford aud
beyond wall give the company the use of
nearly 100 cars and four or five additional
engines. In the present condition of
things this increase is not to be sneezed
at.
Moreover, there are the ties to be con-
sidered. The rails on the Union Pacific
system are laid on %, 200, 900 ties, the re-
newals ~aggregating 5000, 900 yearly, or
about 0 1000 for each working day. This
is no small potatoes, and to supply them
is no small chore. The rebuilding of The
Utah Northern has consumed all the tie
supply, ties that otherwise would have
gone On the Oregon Short Line; and now,
all the ties that were being raked and
scraped from all over the south country
with a fine tooth comb were being laid on
the Milford extension. So work had to
stop for tins additional reason. and the
ties destined for the extension will be
shipped up into Idaho, or wherever they
may be wanted most. Operations can
hardly be resumed before April next. BY
that time the shortage on equipment and
material will have been so relieved that
operations can be resumed and pushed
without further delay.
