GENEROUS ENGINEERS.
Their Hearts Stirred and Their Purses
Opened by Young Mothers Story.
From the New York Sun.

FROM the New York Sun.
Elizabeth, Dec. 12.-It was pay day at
Communipaw yesterday and the men had
gathered in groups waiting for their turn,
when young woman entered the Office of
Assistant Chief Engineer Beck. She car
ried a baby in her arms and a boy Of 6
toddled by her side.
Going up to General Foreman Morris
Clapp, she said she had been in Boston
visiting friends, and was on her way
to her home in Mobile, Ala. Her husband
was to have met her in New York, but
when she arrived there she received a
dispatch, saying he was dying of fever
She had only AZ cents, she said, and did
not know what to do.
The woman said that all she wanted
was enough money to pay her fare home
and to buy a few loaves of bread She
said she had been to the Pennsylvania
railroad, but the men there had not re-
ceived their wages. They had directed
her to the Central men, whose pay day it
was, and who, they said, always were
charitable.
Yes broke in Foreman Clapp. "they
know u.s. and he took off his hat and
laid it on his desk. Here. boys" he
said, "be charitable. Nothing less than
a dollar each" And the men formed a
line and dropped S4S. so in the hat.
The good-hearted fellows then prepared
to send the woman and her babies home.
Chief Engineer Beck went over to Jersey
City and purchased a whole basketful Of
food, including six cans of condensed milk
for the baby, while Engineer Joseph Case
hunted up warm hearted conductor and
obtained free passage for the trio to Phila-
delphia. Engineer William Moison had
Just purchased a mink boa to give 10 his
daughter on Christmas. He gave it TO
the young mother,
just then Paddy Doyle came in with
letter recommending Mrs. Horner, that
was the name she gave, to the charity of
the Brotherhood OF Engineers. 1t was
written on the official note paper of Lodge
No. 1871, and signed by +. r. Doyle, chief
engineer.
Bernard Mum, the engineer who makes
all the fast runs on the Central, took the
babe from the mothers arms and carried
IL into the big waiting room at the ferry
The basket Of food he carried in his other
hand. Returning the infant to lis mother,
he told her to wait moment while he
hunted up the conductor who would take
her TO Philadelphia. Then ne stepped
into the conductors room. When he re-
turned two minutes later, the woman had
gone. The ticket agent said she had gone
on the ferryboat with a man who had
been waiting around the place for two
hours.

CHESS MOVEMENTS.

Some of the most noted chess experts in
the world are shortly to be seen in New
York, and historical championship con-
test is being arranged for next season
One reason for this is that professional
chess playing has, in Gotham, assumed Il
mastery aspect and is proving remarka-
bly, profitable. Not only are the prizes
tempting, but snug sums of money change
hands on the results of big matches-only
in very quiet way. Chess players do
everything quietly
Hence New York is now an admitted
rival of Berlin and st. Petersburg as
resort for the champions. Moreover.
there is movement on foot to establish
mandatory of chess pieces. Some ar
lists in that line have come to New York
and they have already obtained large or
ders The rich lovers of chess-and the
game is affected mostly by the well TO do
spend handsome amounts in the prepa-
ration of silver aud gold mounted pawns
ard bishops. When they wish a cham
pion Of world wide rcnown to play in
New York they simply contribute purse
of irresistible magnitude and the player
is landed. Next year the big events of
the chess world will occur not in Europe,
but in New York. 1t is one of the most
profitable things in the world to be
chess champion.

This is a source Of real regret TO society,
since sleigh riding in Central Park has
again become fashionable pastime The
trade in sleighs, by the way, has been
picking up, for the reason that the past
few seasons has not encouraged any great
use of the vehicles, and the supply of
them has run down. Besides. il has been
discovered that some makes of sleighs are
very trying to good horse flesh So orders
for luxurious new sleighs are being freely
given, among which one white creation
has attracted great attention. The OBJ
iect must have cost some thousands of
dollars, for there are ivory and silver
trimmings On the woodwork. The sleigh
is pure white and very massive, and
decorated in a novel manner. The maker
announces that he is forbidden TO reveal
the name of the person who ordered it or
how much II cost. That it will attract
much attention IL seen in New York goes
without saying. The first heavy snow

THE GOSSIP OF GOTHAM.
That Mysterious Traitor in Tammany
Hall.
The Coming of Swinburne-The Great
Profits of Chess Contests.

New York, Dec. 16.-Never, per-
haps, has there been so much
interest in what may be termed advance
political activity as is now manifested In
New York, despite the fact that the mu-
nicipal election is year away. This in
terest is partly due to that rebellion in
Tammany concerning which so much has
been written and of which 50 little is
known. 1t has been declared that Mr..
Croker would have to resign his power in
Tammany next month. Mr.. Croker has no
such intention. He win actively manage
the next municipal campaign. William r.
Grace is the storm center of the reform
movement MIR. Croker, at a recent meet
ing OF the sachems announced that an at
tack was about to be made upon him. 1t
was intimated that the attack would be
in the nature of an expose of some recent
horse transactions, in which the city's
money was amazingly squandered. Mr..
Croker has also been asking why it is
that the proceedings and plans of leaders
became known so soon and so generally to
the enemy. This has led to story that
the Tammany sachems have an arch
traitor among their number. All these
mutterings around the throne are taken
to mean that Croker is going to get rid of
somebody.
But whether or not the "boss" gets rid
of the somebody will not prevent the at
tack upon him now preparing, and in
which the best known men in New York
are participating. The outcome promises
to be as sensational as any of the Tweed
developments. MIR. Croker is well aware
of these facts, and partly on this account
he will not get out of Tammany yet
awhile. To what extent William II. Grace
is responsible for the present volcanic
condition of things it seems impossible to
discover.

The King of spiders.

Ceylon is the home of the largest
species of spider that has yet been made
the subject of chronological investiga-
ton. This web-spinning monster lives
in the most mountainous districts of
that rugged island, and places his trap
not a gossamer snare of airy light
ness-but huge net of yellow silk
from five to ten feet in diameter, across
chasms and assures in the rocks. The
supporting guys on this gigantic net,
which in all cases is almost strong
enough for a hammock, are from five to
twenty feet in length (as conditions and
circumstances may require) made of
series of twisted webs, the whole being
of the diameter of lead pencil. AS
might be imagined, this gigantic silken
trap is not set for mosquitoes, flies and
pestiferous gnats, but for birds, gaudy
moths and elegantly painted butterflies,
some of the latter having a spread of
wing equal to that of a robin or blue
jay. Some extra fine skeletons of small
birds, lizards, snakes, etc, have been
found in these webs, with every vestige
of flesh picked from them. The owner
and maker of these queer silk traps is a
spider with a body averaging four
and half inches in width and SIX
length, and with legs nine to twelve
inches from body to terminal claw
Some are spotted, others red with
greenish gold abdomen and legs.-St
Louis Republic.

The Other Dear Charner.

1T is really great pity" said
Esmerelda Cervantes, the harpist, who
is on terms of intimate friendship with
the different members of the Spanish
royal family, "that Princess Isabella,
Eulalia's eldest sister, did not come
to America instead of Eulalia. She is
one of the most admirable and accom-
plished women l ever knew. Hers is
indeed a noble character. She is a
widow and devotes herself to good
works and the arts. She is thorough
musician and is the author of some very
fine musical compositions. 1t would
really be difficult to fancy two people
more totally unlike than are these two
royal sisters. Neither do they look
alike, as you can see by their photo
graphs" and Mile. Cervantes produced
two inscribed pictures one a very good
likeness of lnfanta Eulalia and the
other representing a sweet, dignified,
refined woman, somewhat older but
much handsomer princess Isabella
is greatly beloved in Madrid" continued
Mile. Cervantes Had she come here
she would have won golden opinions
for herself and the Spanish people.
Unlike Eulalia, she is of equable tenn
per and is always to be relied upon.

GOLD EAGLES.
Armour's Precious Metal Soon to Be
Circulated in Chicago.
Armour q Co. well Satisfied With the Re-
suits of the Importation They Are
Figuring on Bringing Over More
New York Not a Middleman.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-Armour Il Co.
Monday morning received that $500, 600
in gold which they ordered in London
two weeks ago 1t arrived in New
York Friday and Saturday in different
lots of gold eagles. The iron bound
boxes containing the gold will not be
carted up to the packing firms office in
the Home Insurance building, but will
be taken to the various banks where
Armour e. Co. keep their accounts The
money is not to be boarded. 1t vii be
checked out in the regular course of
business and thus enter into the chan
nels and arteries of trade.
Armour e. Co. are SO well satisfied
with the results of this importation
that they are figuring on bringing over
$500, 900 more in gold from London.
They think it likely the formal order
will te given Monday or Tuesday. In
the present condition of affairs the inn
portation of gold is an influence for the
better upon the general money situa-
ton. Moreover, there is a profit in the
operation of importing gold, not a
heavy one, it is true, considering the
amount of capital involved, but still a
profit. In Armour & Co.'S case the
profit is about $4,000 on the s5O0,OOt
that arrived Monday morning.
The Importation of gold takes lots O.
figuring, lots of cableing and power
of money. Gold has to be paid for il
cash, and only when the transactions
are in vast sums do the profits run W
to any considerable amount. 1t was
not for the sake of the profit that the
$4,000. 900 of gold that has been, or will
be, delivered, was ordered by Chicago
people. 1t was ordered out because
currency couldn't be obtained in New
York

Several Peculiar Features in the Taking on
of the Physician.
BRUNSWICK, Ga, Aug. 2l.-The death
of Branham, who perished from yellow
fever, seems to have been peculiar in
more ways than one. 1t is peculiar,
indeed, that trained physician should
be sent south to file the yellow
fever, and that he should be at
tackled with the disease while yet
hundreds of miles distant from the
fever district. For not another yellow
fever case has been reported anywhere
in the vicinity of Brunswick Equally
odd is the fact that DIR. Branham had a
presentiment of impending disaster
He brought with him a United States
flag and told his friends if he did not
return alive to wrap his body in the
stars and stripes. Sunday the flag was
wrapped about his body as shroud.

Where the oaks have woven curtains
To shelter their sylvan broods;
Where the pine-trees murmur and whisper
Secrets we long to know

All on a summers day.

Have IL their own sweet way;
There, in the tender twilight,
Barred by a golden CLEAN,
