NEVER CONE slNGLY.
a Common Superstition Among Engfneers
About Collisions.

a Common superstition AmOnS A1AShAA0OAS
About Collisions.
OF the superstition of sailors, fisher
folk and others we have all heard, but
that such distinguished Characters
tic should have attached itself to rail-
way men would not appear to be gen
orally known. It savors somewhat OF
the anomalous that such a preemi-
nently practical class of men should be
the victims of credulity regarding the
supernatural. Such, however, is the
case, says a writer In the London lid
Bits
recently had occasion to interview
s prominent railway official, and in the
course of the conversation that ensued
that gentleman incidentally alluded to
two collisions which had lately oc-
Cured in the neighborhood. following
up his remarks with the announcement
that the local men would be in state
of subdued excitement and furry"
till third mishap took place. Such is
the superstition of the railway man.
Upon expressing considera BILE astonish-
ment was assured that this kind of
thing was notorious among railway
men in general. and in this particular
instance, it was known that the cir
cumstances of the two previous acct
dents were the chief topics among the
workmen in all departments. who were
also counting on the possibilities of
third disaster. Curiously enough a
touch of realism was lent to the infor-
nation just impaired by the explana-
ton that the second of the two COLI
sions referred to was due to the driver
of one of the engines-a reliable serv-
ant, noted for his alertness and preci-
sion, with an honorable record with
it was believed, SC disturbed over the
''omens'' of the first occurrence and SO
engrossed with what he felt would be
two other catastrophes that he com
nitted the slight error OF Judgment
which caused his locomotive to crash
into another coming in an opposite di-
rection. The statement is given as the
conviction OF one who spent upward OF
a quarter Of a century among railway
men of all classes, and who has known
the driver alluded to for long period
of years. So came about a second col
lision. Surely superstition could go no
further than this. But here is tragic
sequel-a sequel which. unfortuna tely.
. will, in all probability, do much to
strengthen the reprehensible beliefs
of these men. Two days after the in
terview above mentioned. within tif-
teen minutes drive from the scene of
the second collision. an express mail
failed to take the points. a portion Of
the train with the tender of the engine
was violently thrown across the rails
and one stoker killed. This is what
the railway men will term their third
mishap." There's the third they
say, and now perhaps they will breathe
freely for a season.

Significance OF Name. OF N.t,on..

The name Europe signifies "a coun-
try of white complexion" and arises
from the fact that its inhabitants are
Of alighter complexion than those OF
Asia or Africa. Asia signifies ''be-
tween, or in the middle the ancient
geographers imagining that it lay be-
tween Europe and Africa Africa sig
mites the land of corn" It was cele-
brated for it's abundance of corn and
the Romans and other people used to
import grain extensively from that con-
tinent.

mounted by stable boy fora little

of pers,as ion with whip Or spur can
get him away from common canter.
I noticed this popularity in the animal.
and one day suggested to Downing
that perhaps the horse knew that he
was not expected to race. and for that
reason could not understand exactly
what was required of him. prevailed
upon him TO dress the sta bic boy in the
ctors usually worn in a race and try
the horse again. He did SO, and the
boy was placed in front Of the animal
for nome nj that he IN ght see the col
ors. The result was that when the
boy mounted again the horse broke at
the word Of command and set off ut q
long, swinging ga!lop which he in
creased to run. finishing the work un-
der IL strong pull. Another stable boy
was put up without he. colors, and the
horse refused to leave the Looping gait
at which he started out. A second
time the colors were used and again
the animal set out at q rate OF speed
calculated to break record.
What do you call that: instinct or
reasoning? contend that the horse
had a. rational faculty which he exer-
cised at will. He knew that without
| T Hse colors he had nothing in particular
to gain by extending himself to q swift
run. When the colors were put on tho
horse reasoned that there was some OBJ
ject in view. He reasoned that he was
already prepared for a race and made
his pace accordingly without being
urged.

PARIS, Feb. SAN hour before the
chamber OF deputies mot to-day the re-
port was abroad that Emil Gousset,
Boulangist, deputy for the Seine. would
interpellate the government as TO the
acquittal by the chamberot the indict-
ments OF Deputy ROuyier and Senators
Deves, Grevy and Renault
The proceedings opened amid an in.
describable babel OF shouts, ieers and
cheers.
NJ. Gousset directed his attack prin-
cipally against NJ, Rouvler. AS Rouyier
had admitted that he received money
from the Panama Company, NJ, Gousset
said 1t was the plain duty OF the gov
ernment TO see that he suffered the PEN
atty of his action. The article Of the
constitution concerning the response
bility Of ministers should be applied
without delay. It was remarkable that
the government had to be reminded so
frequently OF the duties that were so
plain. 1t was time to ask who was stop
ping the wheels Of justice.
M. Bourgeoise, minister OF Justice, re-
piled with a severity which evoked re,
newed disturbance in the galleries and
on the floor, that it was an insult to the
government to accuse 1t OF yielding TO
the threats and hindering tho exposure
OF the Panama company's Affairs. The
government had shown It's disposition
in the matter by asking the chamber to
authorize legal proceedings against the
deputies said to be implicated applause
from the Left, and had properly left the
rest to the law courts OF France, which
were competent and just. The govern
ment would not be driven TO unwar-
ranted measures, but would act with
absolute disrsgard Of the slanderous
rumors which enemies OF the Republic
had been circulating for the past month.
The government still proclaimed that
all citizens must bow before the deci-
sions Of the courts Of justice, but not
before any provisional courts. Ap-

plause. Whatever had been said or
denied, he began, the promoters OF the
present campaign against the Panama
corruptionists had come forward as the
champion OF public honesty. After
wards they had formed a league whose
object was a conspiracy OF silence.
NJ. Ripot announced that the govern
ment had accepted M. Cavaignac's pro-
posal and it was adopted by vote Of
448 to 8. The chamber also decided by
vote OF 367 to 102 to have the speech
placarded throughout the country.
NJ. Gousset has sent his seconds to
Norbart DeBenoit, deputy for the Avey-
ron, who interrupted him perSistently
during his speech in the chamber to-
day.
Charles DeLesseps has applied to the
court OF assizes TO have the true bill
found against him by NJ. Franqueyille
quashed, on the ground that his deal-
ings with NJ. Baihut did not constitute
