Dom Pearo,s Test.

An exchange says that young en-
gineer once went to Dom Pedro, the
late Emperor of Brazil, to show him
new appliance for stopping railway
engines. The Emperor was interested
in the thing, and said; we win put
it at once to a practical test. The day
after tomorrow have your engine
ready; we will have it coupled to my
saloon carriage, and then fire away.
When going at full speed | will nm
expectedly give the signal to stop, and
we will see how the apparatus works"
Atthe appointed time the Emperor
entered his carriage, the engineer
mounted his engine, and on they went
for considerable distance; indeed, the
young engineer began to suspect that
the Emperor had fallen asleep. when
the train suddenly came to a sharp curve
round the edge of cliff, on turning
which the driver saw, to his horror, an
immense boulder lying on the road.
He had just sufficient presence Of
mind to turn the crank of his brake
and pull up the engine within 4 couple
of yards Of the fatal block.
The Emperor put his head out Of the
window and shouted to the engineer
and fireman, What are you stopping
for?''
They pointed to the piece Of rock, on
seeing which Dom Pedro burst into a
merry laugh.
Push the thing on one sider' he
called out to the engineer, who had
jumped down from the locomotive; and
when the latter, in his confusion,
blindly obeyed and kicked the stone
with his foot, it crumbled into dust.
1t was block of starch that Dom
Pedro had ordered to be placed on the
rails the night before.

was taken by George w. Levings OF
Company /, Eleventh Illinois cavalry,
at Orange Court House, Va, recently.
The Grand Army Post No. Of Rock

slowly and met with warm reception
from the citizens. The veterans were
cheered by large crowd and greeted
with stars and stripes waved by several
children.s
As the engine stopped Tor water be-
fore reaching the depot, two women
appeared in the window OF house
near by and unfurled two flags display

Then he strobe back to the train with
the flag, and as it was passed about
the car, some forcible things were
said. The Rockford veteran is taking

LEASE OF LEHIGH VALLEY RAILROAD TO
THE PHILADELPHIA AND READING
DISSOLVED BY THE DIRECTORS
OF THE FORMER CORPORA.
TON.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8.-The lease
of the Lehigh Valley railroad to the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad was
this afternoon Dissolved by the direc-
tors of the former corporation. The
action was taken because the Reading
coal and iron company failed to pay
$685. 768 for coal purchased from the
Lehigh Valley coal company prior to
the Reading receivership, and which
default violated the lease.
The Lehigh Valley railroad petition
ed the United States court to abrogate
the lease and the Reading receivers
asserting, Judge Dallas ordered the
separation. The latter also appointed
John Lowber Welsh to succeed E. P.
Wilbur as Reading receiver. Mr..
Wilbur will probably soon retire from
the Reading board of managers, but
will retain the presidency of the Le-
high Valley,
1t was provided in the lease that if
the agreement between the coal COM
panies--each of which is controlled
by its respective road - should
be terminated for any reason, then
the lease of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road to the Reading should at once
be terminated.
