Swift Retribution.

Boston, Aug. 80, 1892, A peculiar in
cident occurred the other day on an up
town electric. 1t was muggy day, and
the people who were packed into that
car looked as if they would like a chance
to audibly express their opinion of the
corporation that compelled them to ride
in closed car in such weather. The
conductor on that car was to be pitied.
He looked as if he had been making hot
weather trips in crowded cars all his life
and had perspired a great deal in the
process. Then he had much difficulty in
getting through the car to collect his
fares, for he was not an adept in the art
of slipping between and around large
people closely wedged together; or of
gently and skillfully dislodging seeming
1y immovable bodies, or of quickly re-
storing the equilibrium of people upset
by the slightest touch. His difficulties
were further increased by the fact that
nearly everybody presented bill for his
car fare, SO that by the time that con-
ductor stopped before thin ethereal
looking lady, midway of the car, his
stock of patience was nearly, and his
pocketful of tsmall change quite ex-
hausted.
The thin lady was absorbed in thought
and it was not until the conductor had
called, rather sharply, ''Fare, lady!' that
she was brought back to earth. Slowly
drawing the string of her capacious bag
she made a prolonged search among the
numerous parcels contained therein and
finally brought forth her purse. Upon
opening it she examined the contents
awhile with great indecision and at
length produced $40 bill.
The look of horror that loyerspread
the conductors face at sight of that bill
nearly melted the lady's heart, for she
returned the bill to her purse and took
out a 81 note; but she evidently immedi-
ately regretted her good intention for,
before the conductors fingers could
grasp the dollar bill, she whipped it back
into her purse and again presented the
$40 note. With an appealing look the
conductor demonstrated, plaintivelly, u
wish you would give me the small bill
lady, for I haven't one cent of change"
The lady gazed severely at the conductor
closed her lips firmly, and replied, II
shall not give you the other bill. l don't
propose to be dictated to by you"
The long suffering conductor answered
not word. but put the bill in his pocket
and proceeded on his way. 1t was some
time after this that the car stopped for
several minutes. The hurried passen-
gers, and the timid ones always expect
ing accidents, who looked out OF the
window to ascertain the cause OF delay,
saw the conductor flying down the steps
of the bank, with his hand clutched
tightly over one of his pockets; Direct
ly the car started on its way and the con-
ductor, with a smile of triumph on his
face, passed down the aisle and stopped
before the $40 bill lady. ''Your change,
madam he said, pleasantly, and
straightway counted into that lady's
hand nine silver dollars and ninety-five
cents in five cent pieces.
The helpless look on that lady's face
as she dropped under her burden OF
silver must have been sweet to the soul
of that much-tried conductor.

DONAHUE ROAD.
1t Is Now Quite Sure to
Change Hands.
The Executors of the Late Mervyn
Donahue Says Its Sale is Nec-
essary to Pay Debts.

The various rumors in regard to the North
Pacific or Donahue Railroad have at length
crystalliZed into something definite.
In San Rafael yesterday Judge Angellotti
granted the petition for an order of sale Of
1900 shares of stock belonging TO the estate
of the late j. Meryyn DOnahue, and ordered
posting of the notices for fifteen days.
After the expiration of that period the
executors will receive bids, and the road will
be given 10 the highest bidder.
In consequence of the order of the court
fifteen days only will elapse before the road

an interesting witness on this point.

ings in San Rafael yesterday, and testified
that II was absolutely necessary TO sell the
road IN order 10 pay the debts ana legacies

Some surprise was felt regarding the at
titude OF the executors Of The esIate, as il
had been understood that q considerable
offer had been made for the road by East
ern capitalists.
Ii was said that some time ago an agent
OF certain well-kuown New York ioanciers
visited this coast with the express purpose
OF examining the road as an investment, IL
was said that every facility was accorded
him by the management. and that upon his
return To New York a substantial offer was
made. which was still under considerations
Yesterday the attorney for the iegatees
questioned Mr: Burgin closely as to his re-

AN ORDER FOR WOMEN.
Devoted Ladies' Who Will Attend to
the Sick and Poor.

The Episcopal church Is about to inau-
gurate a new project which involves the
services of the female element more actively
and systematically than heretofore.
This is the organization of a school for
deaconesses aud eventually a home where
these piOus women can abide and have O
center for their ministrations.
The Order of Deaconesses is akin 10 that
OF the Sisters of Charity of the Roman
Catholic Church, and their services are al
most alike, though the VOWS are much less
stringent than in the Catholic church and
may be relinquished at any time.
The new order is getting to be generally
introduced In the great Eastern dioceses and
has already proved Itself a valuable adjunct
TO the church work.
Rev. z. j. Lion Of ST. Stephens Church Is
the protector OF the new Idea and in con-
junction with Rev. II. Hewitt of thechurch
at Mill Valley will open school for the
education OF probationers as soon as a suit
able location can be secured. Already sew
eral devoted women have made application

Mr.. Bosworth has been the organist Of the
