After many days of unconsiousness and
raging fever, reason gradually returned,
and learned the particulars of my deliver
ance.
A party of officers had started with a
shikaree Cor native hunter) to a trap which
had been prepared for the tiger. A goat
was tethered in the outskirts of the jungle,
and the sportsmen had started to take up
positions in the trees near to wait for their
game, which the bleat Of the goat, in the
stiffness of the night, would speedily have
attracted.
They were talking of our coming bicycle
race as they went along, and expecting
every moment to see me on my return
journey. As they passed clump of
bushes 1 came in sight, about quarter of
mile in front of them, whirling in cloud
.of dust which hid my terrible pursuer
They soon, however, saw my awful danger
The huge brute, mad with rage, hurled
himself upon me just as We reached them.
My friends stood almost petrifed with
terror and did not dare to fire, but the
shikaree, man of iron nerve, and aecus-
toned to face sudden danger of all kinds
in the hunting field, sprang quickly to

The great high bridge of the Southern
Pacific Railroad is said to be the third
highest bridge in the world, and is, by
several feet, the highest in this country.
1t is 2l80 feet in length and 328 feet
above the surface of the stream. 1t has
48 spans, nearly all Of which are iron-plate
girders, alternately 35 feet aud 65 feet in
length. In the centre, directly above the
bed of the river, is cantilever span 1876
feet in length. The structure is supported
by towers, 35 by 100 at the base and 10
by 35 feet at the top, which rest on stone
lodges or rock piers. The lightness of the
structure gives it a very spider-web appear
ance, but practial engineers and railroad
men say it is one of the most substantial
bridges in the country. Only one man
has been Killed during its construction.

A Maine woman who had an irreli
gious husband kept driving at him until
she finally got him To 90 to church.
Now mark how She was rewarded. In
stead of following the service he looked
at the congregation and noticed how
much more handsomely the other wom-
en- were dressed than his wife This fact
pricked him to the heart as no words OF
the minister could, and the next day he
gave his wife $500 and told her to go and
buy some clothes. Need we enlarge on
the moral of this story? We think not,

man that entered the grim mouth of the
big iron cylinder. 1t was Il feeble,
broken, nervcless creature that emerged
to lisht AGAIN after an experience such
as turns mems hair gray in an hour and
skaters their constitutions for life. That
Mr. Rislcy is alive today is due both to

of his sinrwy frame Death had stared
him in the face for hours that seemed
like interminable dav~ to him.

Mr. Risley took advantage of the oppor
tuuity to clean ont the big boiler in the

took "A candle into the boiler, but could
find none on this morning, and he lit a
lamp, which he placed in such a position
that lis bright rays tlickered down
through the gloomy ilues under which
he was to pass.

Rsley had soon wormed his way to the

several inches deep in the bottom of the

remain but a few minutes. He finished
his work and started to return. 1t oc-
CURED 10 him that he might avoid the
icy water better if he turned around and
sought egross head first.
Narrow as the passage was, he had
accomplished this feat more than once
before and he anticipated no difficulty in
repeating it. Slowly he turned, closing
his limbs together like the blades of a
knife and bringing his knees against his
chin. He succeeded in turning half way
around when he found that he could go

A Railway 10 the Clouds.

Exchanged
A number of capitalists some time
ago secured the right to construct the
railway which was planned BY two
Philadelphia inventors, and a stock
company was organized to take the
matter in hand. Permission to locate
in the Worlds Fair grounds has not
been granted, and it will probably be
placed outside but near BY.
The plan is most novel one. Tie
whole structure, which consists of a
gigantic spiral, will be about $50 feet
in diameter at the bottom, and will
gradually be reduced and at the roof
will be six inches thick. Staring at
tho bottom an immense iron centre
post extends upward 100 feet, and
around this is constructed the inner Or
upward tracks. These consist of iron
plates FIVE inches wide for the car
wheels to run on. Slightly inside
and coming over the axle Of the car is
another track or guard rail OF iron,
three inches wide and two inches
thick, which makes it practically i'm.
possible for the car to jump the track
in case of any accident. Bars OF steel
extend from the center post and con.
meet with the iron rail.
A powerful steam engine stationed
in house some distance away sup.
plies the power which turns the big
post and inner tracks and the car is
gradually carried to the top. Around
the outside of the structure another
set of similar tracks are built, and as
the car reaches the top it is in a posi-.
ton to run directly on to the descent
Gravity then carries it around and
around the great iron mass of supports
and it slowly comes back to the start
ing place. A simple system of levers,
which cannot be thrown out OF gear,
controls the cars.
These. by contact with inner sup
ports stop it at any point which the
brakeman may wish either in the as.
ceht or decent. The cars are built to
hold twenty>four passengers and
brakeman stationed at each eni.
Above the platform on which cars
stop is gallery built to accommodate
1000 people, and on it a large restau.
rant will be constructed.

For PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES:

THOUGHTS FOR LOCAL VOTERS.
We can hardly make a living now
with silver at IS to 80 cents.
All that saves US is the price of lead.
If the tariff of u cents per pound
is removed from lead, what effect will
this have on us-on each and every
ono of US?
The Republican party represent.
protection to all home industries.
The Democratic party represents
free trade, which would be the do.
struotion OF all home industries.
The Democratic candidate is the
bit.erest enemy Of silver who has ever
occupied the presidential chair.
: The Republican candidate has done
al that he possibly could to re-.
habili,ato silver, and is still Eat it,"
Now, how should you vote?

doubt be less interference with free
ballot than ever before in the history
of tho country. The Southern States
generally have not adopted the syste IN
and in New York, and two or three

system has been SO modified that the
chances for fraud are as numerous as

river were in the water two or three
hours.
A command was given them to halt.
Those who complied were robbed by
the miners; those who refused were
chased and shot at until they were
hidden from sight.
Kennedy aud Monaghan, with their
families, were eating supper at the
