the first really terrible railroad accident
in this country
The pioneer conductor of the EIie rail
way was Poppy Aver, and he ran on the
road when its whole working length was
between Piermont and Turner's and there
was good room for doubt whether il
would ever get any further Nobody ever
bothered about buying d ticket in those
days, but paid his fare to the conductor.
Once in awhile the conductor found it de-
SRA bic TO eject some wOuld-be deadhead
passenger while between stations, but as
there was no means Ofletting the engineer
know about it, except by sending a brake
man forward, and as he generally had to
climb over lot of freight and produce
cars before he could attract the attention
of the engineer, it frequently happened
that the train reached the refractory pas
SenEer'S station before itCOuld be stopped.
Poppy Ayers lost good many fares in
this way, and he got tired of such unprotit-
able railroading So he hit upon
a plan to do away with future trouble on
that score. One day he tied a stick of
wood to one end of a long rope, hung the
stick on the locomotive where the engi-
neer could see it and carried the rope
| back over the cars to the rear car and
made that end fast there. His idea was
to pull the rope and agitate the stick of
wood when he wanted the engineer to
]
considered himself the man who was
supreme on the train. and this particular
engineer resented this plan of Poppy
Ayers as making him subordinate to the
conductor, and he Chucked the stick of
wood overheard the first time it was put
in use and went on with his train When
they got to Turner's Poppy Ayers pitched
IN and gave the engineer the worst kind
of licking, put the stick of wood back
on the pOcriOp and il NyO1,lynd 70 81 arm
| This led to the introduction of the bell
rope on railroad trains.
Soon after the Erie was finished to
MiddletOwn, in lS43 the regular pleasure
excursion ever run on the road started
from Middletown for the Elysian Fields,
the famous old-time pleasure grounds
near Hoboken, The excursion was got
up by Prof. McGregor of the Middletown
Academy. The train was filled with pas
sengers The wheels on railroad cars
were then made with east iron Spokes,
after plan devised by Ross Winans.
| One of these wheels broke while the train
was running at a high rate of speed and
| several of the ears were thrown down a
high embanlment near Seamansville.
Several of the eXcursionists were killed,
one being a bride, who, with her husband.
was making the excursion her wedding
| trip, and a number were hurt, some
fatally. That was the first casualty of
the kind in the history of railroads 1t
was discovered that the wheel that broke
had been cracked for some time. From
that accident the now universal rule of
sounding car wheels with hammer at
stated points came to be adopted, a rule
that has saved many lives and much prop
erty The accident also led to the aban-
doning of spoked wheels and the intro
duction Of the present style of car wheels"

The Revolution in Hawaii

Tie news of revolution in Hawaii by
which the monarchy has given way TO a pro-
visional government based upon popular
sovereignty. comes Il. no surprise. The
unsettled condition OF Hawaiian affairs has
long been understood in this country and
the opinion has been very generally ex-
pressed that a crisis was approaching. 1t is
evident from the attitude of the press Of
tss country upon the question that there is
hut one feeling upon the matter of control
osihese islands viz. .,Iatthey should be under
the protection Of the United States gov
eminent. Upon this poiut there seems
To be no disagreement in this
country. Under 20 circumstances can we
permit any European power to usurp our
plain rights, as well as our obvious interests
in Hawaii. Such course would be disas-
'rous to the commercial and military inter-
ests of the United States in the Pacific.
The country which in the future shall pos
sess those islands wild, as las been well
said, hold the key to the Pacific. Should
the Nicaragua canal be built, as now
seems probable, the control of Hawaii will
assume an infinitely greater importance.
The question of annexation is now fairly
presented to the United States. The long
looked for opportunity for securing con-
troll of these important islands has come.
1t seems to us that our government will
make great mistake if it fails to seize it,
The total valuation of the Sandwich Islands
is reported to be S36, 800, 900 of which
amount all but 0,000, 900 is owned by
residents of the United States. The time
has come for this country to take possession
of what is already so largely the property
of its citizens. The sun shines on no more
lovely land. 1t is literally the home of
eternal spring, Astounding in magnificent re-
| sources. The time has now come when it
| can he ours without the expenditure of
single dollar. We trust that there may be
no iniecision upon the part of our govern
nent in making the mos, of the opportu-
nifty.

Remarkable Experience Of a Waldo Count,
Woman

Some men have lived to read their own
obituary notices, but certainly very few
women have passed through such an expert
ence as has the lady in this case She was
and is a hard working widow with several
children. About two years ago her health
began to fail ,and symptoms of consumption
10 develop themselves. She consulted able
physicians, both at home and abroad, but
without avail. Repeated examinations were
made, resulting in a unanimous verdict that
she was victim to consumption and must
surely die. At last she was confined to her
bed, rapidly wasting away with ali the dis
tressing symptoms of that dread disease
During the last days of May, local spc-
cialist in lung diseases was called in He
found her propped up in bed, liable to lie
down, liable to sit up, breathing with diff
Guilty. harassed by an incessant cough.
After careful examination he withdrew
and announced II the sorrowing family that
she could live but a very few days and
might die at any time that he would leave
no medicines as nothing could be done.
In four weeks from that time, this same
woman left her home to visit her parents
living at distance of several miles. In
five weeks she WAS doing her own house
work. and has done it ever since. In six
weeks, she recommended finishing pants
for 4 clothing manufacturer in her vicinity
and, during the month ending Nov. 22d,
finished lu3 pairs. Her health and strength
are fully restored. She gratefully ascribes
her wonderful recovery to that equally won
'erful remedy, "Rodolf's New Medical Dis
covery," which she was urged to try, after
having given up all hopes of life. Her
name is Emily Walker; she lives in Brooks,
Me-, and will confirm these statements, on
APPLICATION in person or by letter inclosing
stamps.
