AN OPERATORS DREAM.
Saw His Mother Dead and Later
Learned Ffis Dream Was True.

LSArneQ EllS Dream W as lFue-
An extraordinary incident occurred a few
nights since ID the course Of teegraphlC busi-
ness between PitIsburg and a little Out-of-the-
way Office which partakes Of the occult and
goes 2 long way 10 support the claim that
dreams are sometimes much more than the un-
controlled vaEaries OF a troubled sleep. In this
case the facts are understandable and mas be
vOuched for by TWO operators who have had no
communication since the strange event Oe-
Cured.
There was fled II the Pittsburg general Office
Of The Western Union Telegraph Company
shortly before midnight between Thursday ana
Friday a message which read:
"WlIIi n Murray, ElwO0d Junction. Pa.
Acur mother died te-BlghI. Come nome"
The message was marked "kush-" Il was
shot upstairs N the rheumatic tube and LAID on
the desk OF one OF the best operators. This
operat0r did not know the name ol the opera

where there iE rarely any e0mnEFclai hNSsn s..
A night there Is scarcely any rairoau busi-
ness. a. only an occasional freight passes The
place, and that Is slow business.
The PiIIsburE operator began calling ElW0Od
junction, sounding lie TWO letters which ndi-
cate that teleErapiic station. There was no
response and The call was continued Tor some
time. Then. as Siill no answer came, another
Disce Of work was taken up ana dispatched.
The calling OF ElwO0d junction was resumed.
The Pitlsburg operator was very busy and Be
began 10 be annoyed Alter several minutes OF
sounding the answer came.

PiftsburC sender over the line

when the Telegram was ended. Then there
came back these words from the night operator

Royal Victoria Yacht Club When Wig

Committee concluded that Mr.. Gould
did not intend to race to-day, and this
brought forth many uncomplimentary
remarks from the spectators.
In view Of Vigilant's defeat by Satanits
and Britannia, there were people who
claimed that Mr.. Gould did not care to

Shortly after the yachts started a
representative of the Associated Press
boarded Vigilart, of Cowes. and had an
interview with George ]. Gould. He
said that the reason he did not take part
in to-day's race was because he wanted
to give Vlgilant rest and get her in
trim for to-morrow's private match.
Mr.. Gould expressed himself as per-
fectly satisfied with the manner in which
the races had been managed. He said
that he regarded them as fair and square
contests, and he would not say that
Britannia and Satanita yesterday were
working together, In order to prevent
Vigilant from winning. According to
Mr.. Goula they acted perfectly within
the rules of racing.
Mr.. Gould's frank, sportsmanlike ut
terances were in direct contrast to the
destinations heard at Ryde when II be-
came known that Viglant would not
start to-day
Britannia crossed the finish line first.

exodus from the regions which are

Department has resolved to appeal this
evening to the Common Council for
funds with which to fight the disease.

learned, however. that an italian child
died last night of the disease at 245
Adam street. The family had just come
to the city from New York. This makes
a total OF eight deaths reported to the

many more.
