Said a gentleman of this city to the
Chatter, IAN illustration of the
axiom, Time makes all things even
has struck me very torcibly through
a paragraph in one of the st. Louis
papers which states that Miss Maude
Durbin. Il Moberly girl, is with the
Modjeska company now playing an
engagement in that city and winning
many compliments for her ability and
talent. About twelve years ago l
was calling on well known resident
of Moberly and during conversation
with him. he arose with an annoyed
look upon his face and closed door
facing the street and which was stand
ing open. ! looked at him curiously
and he explained that directly across
the street resided young lady who
seemed to think she had calling
for the stage and che had
practiced with such constancy that all
the neighb"s were completely out of
patience. The young lady's family
shortly after this moved away from
Moberly and as che il the Maude
Durbin referred to, it il quite probable
that the MOberly citizen rs he pays
his little $3.50 to hear her, can we'll
believe that she once annoyed her
neighbors to good purpose.

The Kansas City Times has the
following:
Langston was not the only man who
received a pardon at the hands of
Gov. Stewart on odd grounds. Proc
tor Knott, famous as an eloquent
governor of Kentucky, was Missou-
rian in the fifties. He was Governor
Stewards encouragement. Knott
tells a story of Stewart, which,
although very old, is declared by him
to have had its origin just as he states
it. One day, so Knott relates, the
pair were walking through the peni-
Tertiary on a sort of inspection tour.
Prisoners were then permitted to ap-
proach the governor in person and
plead for executive clemency. As The
officials passed through the corridors
Stewart asked one after another of the
convicts about his case.
Il am here" said one, "for a muir
der / never committed"
"And I'm in, )" said another, "for at
temptin to kill when it was aclear case
of self-defense."
'.I'm innocent, too, Governor" said
another. 81 never stole a thing in
my life"
Gov. Stewart asked hundreds of
questions, but every convict declared
his innocence, and begged for pardon.
At length, just before leaving the
prison, the Executive met a young
fellow carrying a load Of some sort Of
prison product. The convict saluted
respectfully, and was passing on when
the Governor stopped him.
What are you here for?" he
asked.
.'For stealing horses, Your Excel
lency." was the ready reply.
But, of course, you are innocent?'
the Governor went on, winking at
Gen. Knott.
"Of course I'm nothin' of the sort,
said the prisoner. 81 stole 'em and
I've got three years to do yet"
"Well, said Gov. Stewart, ''you
will be pardoned Tomorrow. l am
sorry that it will be necessary for you.
a guilty, bad man, to remain here
even another night with all of these
innocent gentlemen. You will con-
taminate them"
The truthful young horse thief was
free the next day, and, oddly enough.
he became an honest, valuable citizen.

ON THE NEW YORK ROAD.

Bold Attempt MT Train Wrecking.
A bold attempt to wreck a train on the
New York road was made Tuesday night.
A New York dispatch says of the affair:
SAT II O'Clock last night when the accom-
mediation passenger train leaving New Ha-
ven at 9:15 O'Clock, was speeding on Its
way to this city at the rate of mile q
minute, in order to make up time, the
brakes were suddenly put on with full
force at a point between Pelhamville and
Mount Vernon.
The train came to a standstil in a
second almost, and the several hundred
passengers, many of whom were doing
after long holiday spent in the country,
were roughly aroused by landing very un-
tremendously in heap on the floor. They
were very much frightened at first. A
railroad tie lying lengthwise along the
track had been picked up by the cow
catcher and thrown against the right cylin-
der with such force as to completely de-
molish the head.
Engineer Merrick saw the obstruction
only moment before his engine struck 1t.
He at once applied the brakes, and q seri-
GUS mishap was averted. After delay OF
three-quarters of an hour the useless en-
CINE was side-tracked and another, which
had been sent for, arrived from the Forty
fourth street roundhouse and brought the
passengers safely to the city. No one was
hurt. Superintendent O. NJ. Shepard Of
| the New Haven road, when seen this morn.
| ing, said: "The tie was evidently placed
there with malicious intent. 1t ia my
opinion that a party of drunken mer
| placed 1t there"

Hammered tho Changers Sold Up
Well.
NEW YORK, May 31.-The market was weak In
spots to day, but in general firmer tone char
acterized the trading, and in a few instances the
net gains for the day were quite important. The
improvement was due In NO small measure to the
sharp recovery in General Electric, following the
official denial of the unfavorabls rumor concern
ing the finances of the company. The stock after
selling from 6711 to 6o1s rose rapidly to 74a4.
Finally reaction to 735s973B ensued. Sugar
sold down 81 to 1854, and subsequently rose to SO
0ssss. 1t Is stated that the regular quarterly
dividend of per cent. will be declared early
next week.
The granxers, although freely hammered, sold
I'D we'll, and st. Paul, Rock Island and Burling-

l34 and Jersey Central aN. Reading was freely
pressed for sale and declined from IN to 1875
but closed at 16A. Distillers rose from 1874 to

ably heavy and declined from 2cIs to 23I1, clos
ir e at the lowest. Pullman broke to II, and
rallied to 174k. Manhattan opened ~ lower al
