Residents Of Town in Iowa See and Hear
Strange Things.
From the Tara Boomer.
Railway men and citizens Of Tara Iowa. are
in . ferment Of excitement over d ghos: that is
said to be haunting the Rock Island bridge over
the Lizard river. The bridge in question is a
small wooden pile bridge over the North Liz
card, three-quarters Of mile north OF Tara. 1t
was on this bridge that William Roberts. a
young man working with pile-driving crew,
lost his life a couple of years ago. The station
agent first discovered the haunt one evening as
he was going home for the night. He saw the
headlight of a locomotive apparently on IN.
bridge. He thought that special train was
coming and that the train dispatcher at Des
Moines had failed to notify him. He rushed
back to his instrument and wired Des Moines,
asking about the special. He was told there
was no such train. The operator was mystifed
and investigated. When he got to the trestle
there was no light. no sign Of any train.
few evenings afterward Section Foreman
Chilgrin, while returning after nightfall with
his section men, noticed the light Of a locomo-
motive apparently moving on the bridge. They
stopped the hand car with a jerk and hustled
the car of the track to let the train pass. The
light came no nearer, and after waiting awhile
they put the car back on the rails and worked
up to the bridge. As they approached it the
light grew DINNER and finally disappeared.
There was no sight or sound OF train. Sud
denly the section men heard the claaking and
rafting of machinery and then a dull thud
like the falling hammer Of a pile driver
The men were badly frightened and afraid tc
cross the bridge. Since then a number Of
skeptIcal Tara citizens have seen the st-ang,
sight and heard the ghostly pile driving. Ghos
hunting parties are organized every evening
but no one has as yet captured his ghostshIp.

OF course, where everything is arranged BY
law and other means of getting about are often
quite wanting, a coachman is obliged to carry
a passenger whenever he is asked at a fixed
tariff. II he refuses he may be denounced to
the police and the matter can end in his losing

One Of the best of these and quite authentic.

countess. She had been passing the evening
on the right side Of the river; but when she
was ready to return home her own carriage was
not to be found. 1t was late and the rain was
falling heavily. and there WIS only q single
closed carriage at the neighboring stand. The
coachman. a red-faced bully was keeping him
self dry outside and wet within while playing
at cards in a wine shop close at hand. BY per-
suasion of policeman he grumblingly took his
seat and drove the countess off across the river
toward her home in the Faubourg Saint
German. But, after crossing the bridge
at the Concorde. she was terrified
to see that he whipped up his horse and took
an opposite direction to the right one. She did
not dare to leap and it was useless to CRY out
amid the storm. At last he drew up in the de-
serted parade ground in front Of the Invaides.
Calmly descending he blew out one Of his Ian
terms and got inside the cab with the other

lady he peacefully drew pack Of cards from

She controlled her fright enough to pay at
tention to the game, and won. Thereupon
with the utmost content. he hung up his Ian
tern again and drove the lady to her home. Al
the door he refused all pay, declaring that she

All cabs to let in Paris must bear an official
number, for which the city is paid france
day and the general government receives a tax
Of so or 100 francs year. according as the car
rage has two or four places. Now, to save the
winter cabs from paying their number during
the summer months when they are laid up, a
certain official is charged with transferring the
numbers to the summer open carriages before
they come out; at the same time he is sup
posed to make an examination Of the solidity
OF the vehicle. The result Of this regulation Is
that when the open carriages come out it must
be once for all. And so the companies keep
them back as long as there is any remote pos
sibility Of the return Of bad weather.

IPAL COUNCILLOR. down the wards. while
the patients in vain demand quiet and aid
lola Is perhaps as fair judge Of the situation
as could be wished; he is certainly beyond sus-
picion of favorlng clericalism- He has eI-
pressed with his usual frankness what he con-
siders to be the real mind Of the inhabitants Of
Paris in this matter:
Whereas absolute respect Is not always
shown to priests. the greatest infidels never say
anything which might wound the sisters The
witticlsms most in use stop short in presence of
their white bonnets. 1t seems to me there is
something in this fact which weighs moro than
any number Of speeches for or against The
Parisian who rails most at religion has not a
word against them-therefore they must call
forth his respect"
The figures Of the present election show that
the city councillors Of Paris do not necessarily
represent the wishes Of the majority Of the citi-
zens. In fact, the districts are so apportioned
that the successful candidates have been elected
by little over one-third Of the popular vote. In
point Of professional career the new council
comprises twenty-five lawyers. sixteen business
men, ten Journalists, eight day laborers. four
physicians, three contractors, three clerks, two
engineers, two artists and two school teachers,
two tailors, one architect, surveyor and .

Foreigners are often misled by the high num-
bers which appear On the cabs of this or that
company. Multiplying these numbers BY the
number OF companies, they arrive at total of
city carriages which is enormously exaggerated.
In reality, the numbers are all of one series and
belong to the city. They count from one up to
fifteen thousand in all. This comprises not only
the carriages of great companies, but also those
OF small stables that let their carriages in the
pubic street. Thus the Compagnie Generate
has all the numbers from to 5000 No. l ex-
lists, but Is never used-I do not know why
and No. ID Is never put on the streets because
OF the superstition connected with the unlucky
number. Between 5000 and IL 900 come the
smaller companies and stables. From IL 900 to
1900 belongs to the Urbaine then a thousand
more IL given over to two-seated carriages, and
a last thousand to those seating four and driven
by two horses. 1t does not follow from this
that 700 cabs are ever in use at one time in
Paris. Each con. pany uses only those numbers
which experience saws may be profitably en-
pioyed. and pays taxes accordingly. Thus the
Generale has only 5000 out of the 5000 num-
bers to which it has right. On the whole
Paris has an average Of 10000 cabs constantly
on the street.

New Triumphs OF Surgery.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
A new thing in the surgical world is curious
brass button recently designed by a surgeon
for the purpose Of joining together two ends Of
an intestine that has been cut. The button
consists Of two parts. into which an end Of the
intestine is fastened. When the two parts are
pressed together between the thumb and fore
finger they are caught by a spring and held in
place. Then the intestine grows together. an
opening remaining through the button all the
time When it is completely enveioped by the
new tissue nature repairs the ravages of disease
SO thoroughly that the button becomes de-
tsched by the decomposition Of the tissue
holding il. and it passes off.
Another recent discovery in surgery is a new
needle with an automatic spring eve which dis
appears when passing through the tissues and
reappears when the pressure is removed. The
eve is sprung into a slot the concave side of
the needle near its point. Ii is the invention
OF a prominent surgeon, who aimed to secure a
stronger needle with an eve which would carry
a thread without tearing the tissue
The constant aim of surgery is to reduce the
rate OF mortality In certain dangerous opera
tions. and with this object experiment is going
on all the while. These experiments are often
continued for long period Of time upon the
dead body before being once tried on q living
subject. This was the case with a now opera
ton which was tried for the first time in New
York. This operation. which is lust now ex-
citing the attention of the surgical world. is
called symphyseotamy. and it is said to be
hardly less dangerous than the one for which it
was supposed TO be substitute. 1t was in
tended to take the place of the improved Casa-
rian operation. Symphyseotomy consists of
splitting the bones Of the pelvis 1t was tried
twice In Philadelphia since the first operation
was il the kind in this country. which took
place in New York. and it was not followed by
any disastrous result. In the record of all the
cases here and in Europe since this operation
was introduced the mortality is lower than the
Cssarian method, and it is hoped that it may
be perfected so as to dispense with the latter
altogether.
The protection OF the eyes after the per-
Torrance OF an operation for cataract is an
other matter TO which attention has recently
been drawn by accidents happening when these
organs are in delicate condition; for at least
two weeks after this operation has been per-
formed 1t is very necessary that the eyes should
not be touched. With this object in view an
oculist has designed pair of wire shields to be
worn like pair OF spectacles. and TO be kept
on day and night until all danger OF injury is
over.
Ocuists have recently been trying a new
anesthetic made from the leaves of the small
leaved cocoa OF Java. Ii is closely related TO
atrophine. and with it, ii is said, the iridectomy
can be performed painlessly two minutes after
putting three drops in the eve.
