A. Usual the IIagerstown Globe Make.a
Mountain out OF . Mole Hi.
Senator Faulkner was found in his
Office BY a WORLD reporter yesterday
after his extended campaign trip. Of
course he was naturally feeling quite
happy over the election results but
when shown copy Of the Hagerstown
Globe containing the I rail interview
purporting to come from him cloud
oyerspread bis countenance.
Why, how ridiculousr' vas his
first expression. Here for years i
have been identified with almost every
public enterprise that came up ii Mar
tinsburg and now / am accused Of Civ
ing the town a black eye. / can ex-
plain the whole thing in nut shell.
When ! was over at Hagerstown a
short time agoa well-known attorney
came TO me and solicited my opinion
in regard to the T rail as there was
some little talk Of building road in
that town. / told him frankly that if
they wanted street railway over there
the T rail would have to be used as
the groove or fat rail was impractical
bic. | then proceeded to give him my
reasons, which were substantially these:
"When they started to lay the street
car track here was much disappoint-
ed with the idea Of using the 7 rail,
and was somewhat surprised to think
that Mr.. John B. Wilson, who always
does well whatever he undertakes, and
furthermore always uses the best ma
terial that the market can supply,
should have selected the T rail. One
day approached Mr.. Wilson on the
subject and he told me that he had
weighed the matter carefully
why" said Mr.. Wilson, 1--WE have
either to resort to the 7 rail or aban-
don the idea Of building the road en-
tirely. If the fat or groove rail is to
be used the streets or portions Of them
win have to be paved with either Bel
gian blocks or asphalt, and that is out
Of the question. If the fiat rail was
used on these macadamized streets
there would be stones on the track
always and the cars would be con-
tinually thrown off,"
II at once" continued the Senator,
"became convinced that Mr.. Wilson
knew what he was talking about and
since that time have made no objec-
tons to the T rail. explained the
position plainly to the Hagerstown
gentleman, but did not even intimate
that there was any regret on the part
of our citizens because the 7 rail had
been permitted to be laid, and told
him that if Hagerstown desired TO
have street railway, its streets being
macadamized as ours, they would be
compelled to adopt the 7 rail-
I'VE publish the above interview
out Of justice to Senator Faulkner.
He was one of the promoters of the
electric street car line and he has
always put his shoulder to the wheel
when any public enterprise came up.
We hardly thought that he would be
guilty Of deliberately going to Hagers-
town and deprecating the interests of
Martinsburg. The Hagerstown Globe
must have manufactured its interview
out of whole cloth. Ed

SEEKING A LOST TREASURE.
A Drover Drowned while In Search Of
$40, 900 In Gold.

Especial TO The WoRLD.l
ALPENA, Mich, November g.
Twenty years ago the barge Pewabic,
with $40, 900 in gold and valuable
load of copper on board, was lost in
Thunder Bay, Lake Huron, near here.
Many efforts have been made to locate
the vessel, and three days ago the
steamer Emerald, which has been en-
gagged in the work, succeeded in locat-
ing the boat in deep water. Diver
John Pelkey made the first descent
yesterday afternoon, and as the water
was 126 feet deep he made prepara-
tions for longer stay under water on
his second descent.
After he had gone down the second
time his movements were followed for
three hours. Then the signals ceased,
the workmen attempted to haul him
up, and at last succeeded, after some
difficulty, but it was too late. He gasp
ed but few times after his diving
suit was removed, and then died.
The Emerald reached here at 2
o'clock this morning, and the unfor-
,tunate divers remains were shipped to
his home in West Superior. 1t is sup
posed that Pelkey's death was due to
someta accident to his diving apparatus.
Another diver viii go down tomorrow.

science for being as charged, ungrateful,

CHAPTER VIII.

CdAHIER Ill.
With all his soldierly qualifications,
Col. Morris, like most of his sex, had
certain defects of character. He was a
tireless worker as a regimental COM
mander, and had done a great deal to
bring up the ''tone" of the Eleventh,
which had suffered vastly during the
reign of old Riggs, his predecessor. He
had won good name as young officer
in the war days, and had borne himself
well in the more trying and hazardous
campaigns of the far frontier But
Morris, both during the war and since,
had seen staff duty that had brought
him into social and political circles in
Washington; had learned there the
lesson that an ounce OF influence is worth
a pound of pure record; that in most
matters affecting army legislation it was
the men who were the farthest away
from the army whose opinions congress
ought; that in all appointments to the
taft departments personal and profes-
Tional excellence might plesd in vain IN
less backed by senators by the score:
Ind that while judicious use of the gifts
'hat God had IJut in his way in the shape
If the public press might result in the
gradual rearing of a monument of popu-
ar esteem, single unguarded word or
?etulant expression would tumble the
whole fabric about his ears.
He had seen the highest names in legis-
ative, financial and social circles dragged
N the dust: the head of the house of
| representatives dethroned; Wall street
monarch execrated; a gallant soldier,
MANNED in battle, ndiculed. In COM
bined and resistless assault the press had
| overwhelmed the record of years. Nor
ris had faced death in dozen fields
without a finch, but he trembled in the
| presence of a reporter.
Nervous, irritable, and unstrung, he
called his officers about him on the fol-
lowing day. Guard mounting was still
| in progress; the band was playing
sweetly on the grassy parade; the ring
ing voice of the soldierly young adjutant
swung the column around in its iaunty
march in review. One after another the
troop and company officers came quietly
in, bade their flushed commander a
| courteous good morning, and took theil
seats. He was pacing the floor, tugging
at his mustache, another telegram in his
hand.
Where's DR.. Ingersoll?" he asked
suddenly stopping in his walk.
Here, colonel" said the post surgeon
stepping within the Office from the brick
pavement outside. Il was waiting s
moment to see the steward, to give som,
directions as to Brent's case"
"Ah, yes. He's better, 1 believe. Now
see you have marked Welsh for duty
and the man tells me he couldn't sleeI
all night because of pains and chills."
"Welsh is as well as I am, Col. Morris
or if i'll has only himself to blame. H,
knows as well as l do that he has NJ
business to go to the store and drinl
when under treatment and taking medi
cine. 1t is my firm conviction, sir, thai
that man is simply trying to shirk"

We'll, well, DR.. Ingersoll. it is mat

You haven't the faintest conception, sir,

lead. 1t is infinitely better that we
should be imposed upon by shirz than
that the public should get to look upon
US as this mans prosecutors. The Pal
ladlun that came yesterday was bad
enough, in all conscience but here's an
other telegram from department head
quarters demanding immediate investi-
cation and report upon the allegations
contained in the second days issue of
the series. How many are there to be-
in heavens name? Mr.. Hearn, have you
submitted your explanations" said the
colonel, turning abruptly upon the young
lieutenant, who was sitting in panied
silence by Capt. Lane
1T is in the hands of the adjutant

A Very Wide Awake Eye.

A man of the shabby genteel order
went into the reading room of one of the
hotels, and seating himself in an easy
chair drew a paper from his pocket. He
held the paper before him, and while his
left eye remained closed he appeared to
be reading. Time slipped by, and it was
several hours before the watchman was
attracted to him. During the next hour
the fellow never moved, and with fear
and trembling the watchman went to
his side.
The right eye gazed mechanically at
the paper, and. fearing that its owner
had died in that position, several of the
employees Of the hotel gathered around
him. He was given a rough shake,
which brought him to his feet, and ex-
plantations followed. The man had no
money and did not want to walk the
street in the pelting rain. His right eye
was an altiicial one, and by holding a
paper in front of him and closing his left
optic he could sleep, while to all appear
.ances he was reading. Providence Tele-

around, number of people were assem-

swept along in its rapid course. At
length swan came in sight, struggling
sometimes for land and at others sailing
in its stately manner along with the tor
rent. AS it drew near black spot was
observed on its snowy plumage, which
the spectators were astonished to find
was living rat; and it is probable it
had been borne from its dwelling in
some hay rick, and, seeing the swan,
had hastened to it for refuge. On the
bird arriving on land the rat leaped of
it's back and scampered away, but a man
having no respect for the sagacity which
the rat had displayed killed it with a
blow of his staff. New York Mail and
