A Pet Canary.

Pet canaries are by no means uncom-
mon in households, but a pet canary
mixed up with miscellaneous lot of
playthings in the nursery is something
out of the ordinary. A three-year-old
Brooklyn girl received present of a
young canary from a friend of her
mother several months ago. The child
showed affection for the bird from the
moment that it was placed in her hands,
and she insisted upon keeping it with
her other playthings. She treated the
bird tenderly, and soon the tiny
creature began to manifest fond
ness for it's little mistress. For
awhile the canary was allowed
to remain in the small wooden
cage in which it came from the bird
fancier, but as it developed into sweet
singer the child's parents provided
handsome wire cage for it. Still little
Helen claimed it for one of her play
things, and the bird seem to feel that
its special mission was to play with its
mistress. Whenever the child built
houses with her blocks the canary
would rustic at the door of
its cage and "Peepl Peep! Peep!"
until let out, then it would hop
from block to block as the little girl
moved about. Nothing appears to give
her tiny fellowship so much satisfac-
ton as to be permitted to play about
the nursery floor with her affectionate
lit lie mistress Y. Sun.

used whenever he went to the front
during the later military operations in
Virginia, and which bore his body to
Springfield, Ill, after his assassination,
now remains battered relic in the
yards of the Union Pacific railway at
North Platte, Neb. The car was built
expressly for the president at the
United States military car shops, at
Alexandria, Va, in 1864, and since Lin
coins death it has had a varied career
1t was used by the higher officials Of
the Union Pacific as their private car,
and a special building was put up al
Omaha to house it while not in service.
Next it was perma nently side-tracked
and used by the Union Pacific division
superintendents to live in. and after q
time it was converted into an ordinary
day coach for passengers. Now its use

In DEADLY PERIL.
A Tire Breaks on the PennsYl.
yania Observation-Disclosures
Wagon Smashed.

A remarkable accident, and which, but
for the prompt action of railroad engin-
neer, might have resulted in the loss of
many lives, occurred yesterday afternoon
at ten minutes before four o'clock on the
Pennsylvania elevated tracks.
Engine No. LOGS, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, in charge Of Engineer Thomas
Caddle, drawing crowded passenger
train, came down from Point of Hocks at
the rate of about thirty miles an hour.
Caddle had increased the speed of his
train as he struck the straight track. and
when the elevation was reached the train
was going at the rate of forty miles an
hour.
The engine had just passed Coles street
when the tire of the driving wheel
snapped and with a whirr sailed through
the iron guard rails of the elevated tracks
into the street, striking a CARPENTER s
wagon owned by Henry Niblett COM
pletely demolishing it,.
Caddle, discovering what had happened, /,
put on the steam brakes and brought his
train to a standstill with suddenneSs
that caused the passengers to Jump to
their feet and rush to the doors.
The brakemen quieted the excited pas
sengers by explaining the nature of the
until an engine from the Point Pleasant
shops could draw the passenger cars on a
side track. The broken engine was then
drawn into the repair shop. Then the
passenger train was taken to the depot,
but not one of the two hundred or more
passengers realized what a narrow es-
cape they had with their lives.
The accident was caused by bolt on
the inside of the driving wheel, which
secures the smooth tire wheel. becoming
loose The tire wheel weighs over half a
ton, and in nearly every case where SINH
lar,accidents have occurred, railroad engi-
neers say that, the tire. in breaking. has
either thrown the engine from the track
or wrecked the boiler, frequently caus-
ing explosions.
Engine No. 1,065 was one of the largest
high speed engines owned by the COM
pany. The escape of several pedestrians
on Railroad avenue was miraculous. The
damage to the engine is estimated at $500
Mr.. Niblett values his wagon at $50. The
accident formed the principal topic oi
conversation among railroad men last
night. Engineer Caddle was congratu-
lated upon his good luck.

that his son was selliug too cheap. The
old gentleman then suggested that Balch
should give his son, Elisha M. Fulton,

finally agreed to let the matter go ahead.
Then Balch got $4,000 from Water

him certificate for 200 share of the Eliza

last. Soon after Whitlock told

had directed him to prepare an agree

any such arrangement and soon after the

he might go to law over his contract.

Elisha NJ. Fulton, Jr., who told him that
the whole difficulty would come down to
what was said between his father and
Balch in regard to the matter.
FULTON REPUDIATEs TIE CONTRACT.
On February last Balch had talk
with Waterbury who told him that he
had better make some agreement with
the Fultons or he would probably get
nothing out of his contract. Balch
then resigned his place in the National
Company. On February 6, Elisha Fulton,
Jr. told Balch that If he went ahead and
got his stock he would find that he hid

it. He also said that Balch had better
compromise the matter, and he offered to
give Balch 5000 for his contract.
He said that the proportion
of National common stock which
Balch would get would not be worth as
much to Balch as to him, Fulton. He
also said that the National common
stock owned by the National Company
was encumbered. He told Balch to go
ahead. he would never get anything.
Balch then filed his bill and Obtained a
