DESERVES A REWARD.
Quick Witted Operator and Merry Engineer
Save Many Lives and Collision.

Special TO the Indian Cis Journal
NEW ALBANY. Ind, Oct. ia terrible
wreck. which would doubtless have been
attended by great loss of life. was narrowly
averted on the Airline this afternoon by
the prompt action of an operator. Through
q misconstruction OF orders. q work train
filled with laborers was allowed TO pass
English. when 1t should have side-traoked
for an east-bound freight train. the first
section of which had left Taswell. The
operator ut Taswell heard the operator at
English report over the wire that the work
train had passed his station. and knowing
that the first section of the freight had
pissed Taswell in an opposite direction. he
realized that the trains were fast approach
something had to be done, and done
quickly. Between the two stations is the
largest trestle on the road. and should the
trains collide on this structure nothing
could save the half hundred laborers on
the work train.
At this moment the second section of the
freight came dashing into the station, and
stopped for orders. To the engineer OF this
train the operator told the danger that
threatened the forward section. Without
O moments hesitation the engineer un-
coupled his engine, and. placing brake
man on the pilot with o red flag he pulled
the throttle wide open, and was soon thun-
derlDg along In pursuit of the first section.
The fireman piled in the coal until speed
of fifty miles per hour was being made.
When the engine came in sight of the first
train. he attracted attention by repeated
blasts of the whistle. Realizing that some
thing was wrong, the conductor sig
nailed to stop. and his engineer re-
versed the lever. Hardly had the sec-
tion come to standstill before the
work train came dashing around O curve
started back giving the gravel train room
to stop. which it did within hundred feet
of the freight. When the workmen learned
what the operator had done and saw what a
narrow escape they had had they cOnld only
express their gratitude to the telegrapher
in tears

A Torpedo Creates Havoc at Valparaiso
Poor People Literally Starving.


SAN Francisco, April 21.-Private ad-
vices from Valparaiso by steamer from
Panama this morning report the blow
ing up of the wooden gunboat Pilcomayo
belonging to the insurgents. The gov
ernment late one night sent out steam
launch fitted up as torpedo boat, with
the hope of getting rid of some of the
ships blockading the port. The boat
steered for vessel supposed to be the
Blanco Encalda, the big ironclad that
has played havoc with the ports on sew
eral occasions. The launch crept close
to the cruiser, whose crew, never dream
ing of an attack from that quarter, were
trying to make out what was going on
in the harbor, where guns and rockets
were being fired in order to attract the
attention of the rebel ships. When
close to the vessel it was discovered they
were near the Pilcomayo, instead of the
Blanco. 1t was too late to rectify the
mistake, so the torpedo was sent on its
mission of destruction. 1t struck the
gunboat fair amidships, and lifted her
clean out of the water. The government
claims that the entire crew of the gun
boat, numbering 1876 men was lost. The
rebels claim that thirty of the crew, in
Guiding the captain, were picked up by
one of the boats of the fleet.
The poorer classes of Valparaiso are
literally starving, and have broken into
stores all over the city in their efforts to
obtain food. Twice they have attacked
the barracks and been only repulsed
after thirty of them were shot down by
the soldiers.

A Crank Who Says He Will Marry
Gabrielle Greeley.

Gabrielle Greeley.
New YORK, April 21.-Miss Gabrielle
Greeley, the only surviving child of
Horace Greeley, whose wedding with
Rev. Frank Montross Glendenning will
take place at Pleasantville, N. Y, on
Thursday morning next, heard last
evening a somewhat alarming report
from Black Rock, near Buffalo, to the
effect that Alfred A. Banks, formerly a
resident of Chappaqua, imagines he is
the happy man, and is coming on to
claim her. Banks, who is crank, has
bought wedding suit of the finest broad
cloth, and undoubtedly is in earnest.
He lived in Chappaqua, the home of
Miss Greeley, for two years, working in
the cooper shop of A. j. Quimby. He
proved to be good workman and in one
week made 700 barrels. He is fine
strapping big southerner, with black
beard and eyes, a very muscular man,
and possesses great power of endurance.
He displayed many peculiarities while in
Quimby's employ, chief among which
was his devotion to Miss Greeley, about
whom he talked on all occasions, and
declared she had promised to marry him.
Miss Greeley, when interviewed, said
"Of course / never promised to marry
him, nor did we ever have any converse
ton on the subject. The nearest he ever
came to it was to say that he was if he
was king of heaven he would make me
his queen. laughed. could not keep
him away from Sunday school, and he
forced his services on me in many cases
where 1 would be glad to dispense with

glad to see him leave the village"
