AMERICAN lSdCureS. .. >7.s5.
Regarding the dollar mark, writers
are not agreed as to the derivation Of
this sign to represent The word dollar or;
dollars. Some contend that it comes
from the letters L and 8, which, after
the adoption of the Federal Constitution,
were prefxed to the currency Of the new
United States, and which afterward, in
the hurry of writing were run into each
other, the U being made first and the 8
over it. Others say that the contraction
is from the Spanish pesos dollars; others
still believe it to be derived from the
Spanish word fuertes, meaning hard,
so called to designate silver and
gold from paper or soft money.
The more plausible explanation Of.
the puzzle is this: That it is modifca-i
tion OF the figure s, and that the char-s5
acter, as we mark it, denotes that we are
speaking, or writing Of sum of money,
equal to eight reals; or, as the dollar wasl
formerly called-a piece of eight. In the:
early history of the dollar, when every
body knew it as piece of eight, writer's
who had occasion to mention it in their
articles did 80 by making this character

A LOCOMOTIVE EZPLODES.
Fatal Railroad Accident at 0ys.
ter Bay, Long Island.
Three Men Hurled Hundreds of
Feet and Instantly Killed.

The boiler of locomotive under full steam
exploded in front of the Glen Cove (Long
Isand) depot, instantly killing three man,
dangerously injuring another, breaking tho
engine into many fragments. and demolish-
ing part of the station roof.
The locomotive was only two years old
and had been used on fast trains The train
behind it consisted Of baggage car, smoker
and two coaches pretty well filled with pas
sengers. 1t was 7:03 o'clock, and Engineer
James Don aldson and Fireman Townsend
Dickinson were in the cab. Brakeman
Michael Mahoney came forward to get the
time, while Conductor Alfred Jones stood
some little distance behind him at the
moment Of the explosion. The latter's
head was cut open by a piece of iron
and he was frightfully scalded. Dick
inson, Donaldson and Mahoney were
hurled in opposite directions, the latter's
body falling on the roof Of the third car,
while the others fell in a neighboring
meadow. The engine, down to the wheels,
was total wreck. A large portion Of the
trains windows broken. Fortunately, none
Of the passengers was injured.
The explosion brought people rushing from
all parts of Oyster Bay. Conductor Jones
was carried on stretcher to the house Of
the nearest physician. His condition was
critical Donaldson had thirteen years e1-
perience in railroading and had good repu-
tation. He leaves widow and two children.
Dickinson was thirty and leaves several
children and crippled mother. Mahoney
was twenty.
The only theory of the cause Of the explo-
sion so far is that the water might have been
allowed to run too low in the boiler. Master
Mechanic Thompson Of the Long Island road
thinks it could not have occurred from over
pressure.
