yarn, land my being bounced was a

dence was ever on the side of an
Overworked and underpaid railroad
employee, it was with me that last
night, and the superintendent ought
to have realized the fact. 1t was on
an Ohio railroad, and the headquar-
ters were in Cincinnati. We'd had a
strike, two Or three accidents and a
row at headquarters, and I'd been

On this last night / was clean played
out and asked for relief, but no
body was to be had. When the line
is working all right and a man is
feeling good, train despatching is as
easy as rolling off a log. You can
locate every train on the rails with
in hundred rods, and unless some
pig headed conductor refuses to obey
instructions there's no chance for
an accident.
THAT night 7 had four through
passenger trains, two locals, Blue
line and two or three regular freights
to look after. Everything was all
right up to about midnight At that
hour the western express would

1t was too late for me to stop either
one, and / was just about to order
out a wrecling train, telegraph the
company doctors and rouse out the
superintendent, when got call
from Roberts Crossing. This was a
milk station, but a telegraph oper-

before. He had been routed out of
bed in farmhouse to communicate
with me. -

by bic seas. PiUngipg and rolling
across the Atlantic she arrived January
$ at point westward OF the Banks OF
Newfoundland. On the afternoon OF
that day the ships cook ran short OF
drinking water.
The pump was under the torecastle
peak. where the waves made almost a
clean break across. and IS the cook is
not much ofa seaman he asked one oi
the sailors TO fill the water bucket.
Charles Lustadius, the boatswain,
volunteered to help, and the two sea
men laid out plan Of action. The
hoa;swain WIS to stand on the lily
bridge. that juts ont over the forecastle,
ana receive the bucket when it was fill
ed. Then Lustadius was to dash aft
between seas.
Tie seaman filed the bucket, and
handed it up 10 the boatswain all right.
But Just as the latter was about to take
ii he yelled and threw his arms around
the stanchions of the bridge rail. The
seaman looked up, and then dashed
under cover as Il towering comber
Broke on the ships deck.
The bridge stanchion5 Were twisted
of. and in an instant the boatswain
was shrielling for help fifty feet away
from the ships side. :,
At the cry Of Man overheard all
the crew rushed to the steamers side
and. snutching up coils of rope, pre-
pared to lend assistance. 1t was use
less TO launch q boat in the sea then
running.
Lustadius could be seen far astern,
struggling on the crests of the waves
and yelling for help. The steamers
engines were reversed and she steamed
astern. The speed was too great, how
ever, and the vessel passed the strug-
Cling man so near that q steady hand
could have tossed hat on his head,
and then went far astern. But Second
Officer Jones threw life-preserver so
neatly that it fell across the boatswain's S
shoulders. He pulled this over his
head, and then began yelling directions
to the ship.
Again she passed him, going ahead,
ana when she backed once more he
sang ont to be careful not to run him
down. The vessel missed him, and as
she passed he was swept across her bow
around to the port SIDE Darkness, too,
had now set il.
BY this time le crew were more eX-
cited than the Aan in the water, but as
he went by the second officer tossed an
other life preserver near Lustadius' s
head This one had a rope attached
and the boatswain caught it. AS the
crew yanked it in hand over hand he
yelled TO them to take it easy. When
he got Il little nearer another rope was
thrown, which he caught.
As the crew hauled him in a giant

CInCAGo. March 1.-Bulletins of the
progress of the anti-option fight were
constantly posted on Change today, and
the crowd surrounding them was lighter
than the crowd in the wheat pit. The
defeat of the bill seemed TO be expected
50 generally that the announcement o
the final vote near the close Of the SEES
sion produced only practical upward
tiutter i'll the prices from the bottom iig-
ures of the day. Meanwhile trade had
been dull and depressed all day. Com
pared with last night, wheat is sc
lower, corn sc, and oats sc. Provisions
show little gains-l0c for pork, 1213c for
lard and sc for ribs.
The wheat market was waiting one,
operators being indlSpOSed to trade
heavily owing to the uncertainty re-
gardiug the action of congress. When
the news arrived that the bill had been
defeated the market showed strength,
but failed TO create much enthusiasm
Beside the anti-optiOn bill there was
more than the usual number Of bad
crop reports from nearly all parts OF the
winter wheat region, particularly from
Illinois ana Missouri. These reports
were also accompanied III many III
stances 10y buying orders. At the open
me considerable miscellaneous selling
was INDUCED in, and prices, after l4c
advance, declined &c. On the breaks
there was buying by parties credited
with representing the leading holders.
The corn market was dull and narrow,
and tor the most part it was influenced
ny puts and calls. Prices kept within
= of last nights closing.
In oats what little business was done
was by shorts, principally in the way OF
buying to cover. Changes i'll quotations
did not get beyond &c range.
There was fairly active trade in pro-
visions, and, after ruling weak for
time, they improved and became quite
strong. The receipts OF hogs were
rather heavier than yesterdays esti-
mates, and the price at the yards was
somewhat lower. The Cudahy Packing
company came in as buyers on the de-
cline, and that had some influence upon
the crowd who were short.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 200 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats, $50
cars; hogs, $1,000.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
