Tho clamorous persIstency with which the
Eria Railroad brakemen shout to passengers
to "Step lively. please Plenty OF room forward
step forward. please; and step lively II you want
to catch this train" was the cause Of quaint
inciient In the company's terminus on the New
Jersey side OF tho Pavonia Ferry yesterday.
The engineer OF an afternoon train had his
hand on the throttle and was about to pull out
OF the station when his fireman shouted to him
to wait. An old lady was making reckless
attempt to climb into tho cab Gf the engine. A
brakeman lifted her down. and led her TO chr;
her not TO stir until she reached her derifna-
tion; and while he held her arm she expostu.
lated with him thus:
;" Why, It was you as told me to do II. You
KEEP shoutin' forrnrd now. Step forrnrd, please.

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.

nous Seminole Chief.

Treacherous Capture of Osceola, the Fa-
nous Seminole Chief.
Osceola, tho famous Seminole chief
who some fifty rmore years ago fought
the United States troops in the ever
gladeS OF Florida was not Il full-bloOdcd
Indian. His father was William Powell,
an English trader, and his mother the
daughter of chief Like other half
breeds, he possessed some of the
characteristics of both the white and
the red man. He was brave, generous
to his foes and mcrciful to the helpless,
but he was also revengcful, cunning
and relentless in his hatred of the
whites, who had inflicted many wrongs
upon him and his people. lie had good
cause for the war which he inauguratcd
in 1855. Ills wife, the daughter of a
fugitive slave, was stolen from him as
slave, and when he demanded her re-
lease of Gen. Thompson, the Indian
agent, he naturally used some vigorous
language. For this, says the Chicago
News, he was seized and put in irons.
As soon as he was released he began
planning revenge, and in few months
he killed Thompson and four com
panions. Then for nearly two years he
carried on Il campaign against the white
troops, who were about rs trcachcrous
and mercilcss as his own. He showed
great skill and energy, but the odds
were too great and lie was finally
forced to sue for peace. On the 21st of
October, 1887, under the protection of n
flag of truce, he came into the camp of
Gen. Thomas S. Jcsup. near ST. Angus
tine. While engaged in n conference
he and some of his followers were sud-
denly seized, conveyed to Fort Moultrie
and imprisoned. Ilcartbroken and hope
less, he rapidly failed in he alth and in
three months was dead
