held up by robbers. A revolver was placed
at my head, and was ordered to throw up
my hands. I was about to do so when an

ed team of trotters and attempted to cross
the Western Indiana railroad at Taylor
street. No one was in the gate tower, and
tho track appeared to be clear When
fairly on the tracks, I saw a switch engine
bearing down on me. 1t came upon me SO
suddenly that it had reached within IS
inches of the wheels before fairly realized
the danger. There was but one thing to

jumped into their collars, just cleared the
locomotive and started on a run. Taylor

England's Vital Statistics.

The slow machinery of the English
government has just turned out the re-
port OF vital statistics in 1891. It ap-
pears that the steady decline in the num-
Der OF early marriages which began in
1874 still continues. In the latter year
"a In 1000 bridegrooms and 227 in 1000
brides were under 81. In 1891 only SO
men and 100 women in 1000 married I'M
der age. The odd fact also appears that
the proportion Of Jews in the population
OF England has more than doubled in 20
years. without counting immigration
This extraordinary fecundity is quite I'M
matched by any other class in the pop
ulation. X Charleston New3 and Courier.

DENIED BY MRS. PEARY.

Fer Husband Sat at the Same Table
With His Men.
WASHINGTON, October Mrs. Peary,
the wife of the Arctic explorer, denies
emphatically the stories of some of the
members of her husbands party Of
their alleged treatment. These charges
in brief are that Engineer Peary's auto
cratic methods were offensive to his as
sociates; that he was inconsiderate of
their comfort and ungentlemanly in his
treatment of them; that they were
nearly starved to death, and that they
would have Jared better had Mrs. Peary
not been member of the party. Mrs.
Peary said that her husband was un-
usually considerable of his men, and
added:
Gas to the men, he gave them the
best it was possible to obtain. No parti-
atty was shown. Engineer Peary, all
reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, sat at the table with his men and
shared their hardships in every way. I
could not go to the public table on &C.
count of my baby. Some of the table
delicacies given me by friends were used
by me, but my husband declined to
share them with me, saying that he pre-
ferred to have only what was given to
the rest of the party"
