Dangerous Places.
In this way the Atlantic coast is patrOlled
every night for an aggregate distance OF
about 500 miles, or more than One-halt oi
all the coast line. There are on this coast
lG5 life saving stations, nearly one-half oi
these being on the shores of Long Island
and New Jersey. Here, within n distance
of 80 miles, are 50 life saving stations, anC
they are as rule busiest of all the 23O sta
tions maintained by the service in th'
| United States. These two coasts extend
nearly at right angles from the great por
of New York. where centers the cOmmerc'
of the western hemisphere.
This coast line throughout nearly it
whole length consists of a narrow strip o
sand beach, varying in width from quar-
ter Of "A mile to five miles. and separated
from the mainland by narrow water open
ingsthat sometimes extend into broad bays
At distance of from 400 to 500 yards from
the shore il is bordered by outlying san'
bars, over which in violent storms immens
walls of surf continually break.
These shores, exposed to all easterl
storms. are constantly skirted by vessel
bound to or from the ports of New York
Philadelphia and Wilmington, and by tn
craft of the coasting trade. Their sand
have always levied a fearful tribute upo
passing commerce, and are literally strew
with the half buried and decaying skeleton
of wrecked vessels, while the graveyards @

Medals Of Honor.

Along this coast the recent storms OF
which you have read in the telegraphic dis
patches found many victims, but not
tenth part as many as they would have
found but for the presence and gallant
efforts of the life saving crews.
Month after month the life saving service
performs rescues whose accounts deserve
TO be celebrated i'm song and story. Few OF
these narratives find their way into the
newspapers in anything like adequate form
One of the latest medals of honor granted
by the secretary of the treasury for heroic
life saving was awarded to Keeper Chase
of the Coskato station, Nantucket. The
story of that rescue, told even in the sim
plest language. reads like page from
romance.
In the middle of winter, during fright
full storm, the three masted schooner Kirk
ham stranded on Rose and Crown shoal.
The sea was running almost mountain
high. 1t was night when the vessel struck
and within an hour her bow was torn to
pieces The crew took to the rigging. Next
morning the wreck was discovered, but she
was 10 miles from land. But what could
be done9 Could any boat live in such sea
Was it not madness to attempt rescue 10
miles from the shore, amid such turbu-
lent torrent of breakers2

Fifteen Hours In the Riggir !:

Keeper Chase did not stop 10 consider
these questions. He promptly launched
his surfboat-an open boat, only q feet
long and 2J< feet deep-and put to sea AT
last he neared the wreck and saw that the
men were still hanging TO the rigging. On
account of the roughness of the ocean it
was impossible to aid the schooner II this
had been attempted, the surfboat would
have been dashed to pieces So Keeper
Chase dropped down near to the schooner
between seas, anchored his craft and threw
a small line attached to heaving stick on
board the wreck.
The sailors, though nearly dead from ex-
uosure, managed to attach larger line TO
this one, and it was pulled aboard the surf
boat. Thus the keeper and his crew were
able to draw nearer the wreck in her lee.
Asailor tied a line around his body and

stantly receives. This Is due, In
large measure, to the kindly interest OF
our Ladies' Auxiliary. The ladies' give
the building generous attention. Last
wear they expended from their own
treasury 1854, for house cleaning ana
improvements to the building.
We have shown our interest In the
Young Mems Christian Association
work of the State and at large by con-
tributing $1,000 to its support, which
amount was paid In small sums by
Young men into the Extension Fund to
be used for that purpose.
OTHER SPEAKERS.
The next speaker was Rev. E. ID.
Dornblaser, OF the English Lutheran
Church, who started out by saying that
the Y. M. G. A. was now an estaollsheo
institution. II had been so proven with
the utmost clearness, not only by the
Secretary's splendid report, but by otn-
er facts as well. Men are everywhere
beginning to see what can be accom-
plshed by the joining of interests In the
spiritual and material welfare OF the
Young men. MIR. Dorhblazer called at
tention to the early workers In Chris
tianity, and said how glad they would
have been TO have such a powerful ala
in the retaining of the people as the
Y. NJ. C. A.
Rev. D. A. Cunningham, D. d., pas
tor of the First Presbyterian Church,
next spoke. He started out by stating
that we have here In Wheeling a popu.
lation of 10000, and that 20 per cent. OF
that number, according to reckoning In
Eastern cities, consists of young men
between the ages Of Is and 40. That
would give US 5000 young men here in
Wheeling. 1t is upon this company
that the Association is expected 10
operate. After hearing what has al
ready been done, it ought to serve as an
impetus for more earnest and future
endeayors. not only by the members,
bat by the citizens generally. DR.. Gun
ningham then gave some wholesome ad.
vice to the soung men, and concluded
by making an earnest appeal to the I'M
saved.
Mr.. Alfred PAUL. followed In few re-
marks On the social life OF the Associa-
ton, in which he portrayed scenes at
the building as every day witnessed,
and drew so graphic and true picture
of the surroundings as 10 deeply I'M
press his hearers with the importance
of the work 1t was an excellent and
practical talk.
Mr.. w. J.W. Cowden spoke OF the in
tellectual life at the Association. he
said IL was not the purpose OF the Asso-
citation TO give general education nor
even special courses. The Idea was to
look after his mind, and see that he OBJ
tanned such as was clevatlng and i'm
proving. For this selected library
was secured, and also line OF most ex-
cellent lectures.
Mr.. C. s. Morrison closed the exercis-
es in an address on the Spiritual Work
of the Association, which proved very
entertaining, and was listened to with
rapt attention.

All the railroads have been more or
less handicapped, the past week, by the
deep snow and cold weather, and there
has been some trouble in keeping up
with the schedules. The B. & o. be-
tween this city and Plttsburg has been
unusually fortunate, however, having
its trains very nearly on time. Last
night and yesterday there was some
trouble on the main line east and west,
and the evening train from Columbus
was four hours late.
The Norfolk and Western Railroad
will have water terminals at both ends
of the line. 1t already has docks, coal
tipples and steamboat landings at Nor
folk, and arrangements are being made
for docks at Toledo, Ohio, for the ship
ment of Pocahontas coal TO the North
west by lake steamers. 1t is estimated
that this would give the Norfolk and
Western 800 tons, or sixty cars OF coal
a day to transport to the Northwest for
at least eight months In the year. A
large trafic in Pocahontas coal to Chi
cago and other markets is also anticipa-
ted. This will throw an immense traf-
fc through Portsmouth. There are al
ready two freight trains on the Scioto
division where there was one year
ago. An average OF 125 car loads day
Is hauled over the Keuova division.
The engagements Of all the shops is an
immediate necessity.
The present cold weather is fearfully
hard on the crews OF freight trains,
and with stiff breeze blowing and
