locomotive. In another instant the de.
railing switch was reached, and the loco
motive, still on it's wheels, was cutting and
humping over the ties of the Seventy first
street crossing. The window glass of the
cabin was smashed, the headlight was
cracked, and flying oil bespattered the
mad engineer and the roof of the cabin.
Then the wheels cut deep into the sand,
and the engine stopped. Immediately
Callahan reversed the lever and then
pulled it again. He was determined to go
farther
Before Switchman Kelley reached the
spot where the locomotive was imprisoned
in the sand Glessford arrived. He climbed
into the cab and dealt the man at the lever
a savage blow with his fist. Callahan was
knocked off the engine and Immediately
started away on run. He succeeded in
eluding the railroaders in the dark and
went home. Glessford picked up the fugi-
tive's hat near the engine and sent police
out to look for him. Officer W. J. Sim
monds arrested him on the street in the
afternoon.
Callahan said he only wanted little ride
and had no particular destination when he
started. He says he had been drinking and
was not altogether responsible.
William Kelley is congratulating him.

the derailing switch. s'Had the engine
given the customary two. toots," he said,
1.-The switch would have been closed with

would have dashed the locomotive out up
on the main tracks Of the South Chicago
branch and headed northward for the CITY,
At Brookdale, only two minutes run
ahead, the engine would have crossed the
express tracks of the Michigan Central
and Illinois Central expresses and the Belt
Line. There were trains due each way
about that time, and collision would
have been almost inevitable. It was for
tunate deliverance"

AN lMPROMPTU EXCURSION.
How Callahan Stole q Locomotive and Took

How Callahan Stole a Locomotive and Took
q Ride. IL
1t was a mad ride Michael Callahan had
on an Illinois Central switch engine he
stole near the Terminal station, in Chi
cago, at 4 O'Clock in the morning The
engine was old No. and is used for
switching cars in jackson park. It stood
south of the Terminal station, with steam
up, but without the lamps lighted. The
day crew had gone home and the engine
was in the care of ''hostler," James
Glessford. Glessford was keeping up the
fire, and at o'clock went to the shanty
near by to fill his oil can. He had COM
panion, Charley Ericsson, with him, and
tho two were carrying On a lively CONVEX
sation.
Michael Callahan. who came down the
track just as the two men We're leaving
the engine, was struck with a desire to
take ride, He did not know where, nor
care, but he had seen engines used good
deal and knew how to handle the lever
So he climbed in the cab stealthily and
opened the throttle. Old No. gave a
sudden lurch and was off on the switch for
the main track, hardly quarter of mile
away: While Glassford was busy with
the oil can in the shanty Ericsson saw the
engine move off. He called to the ''hos-
tler," who rushed out in pursuit. But the
locomotive distanced Glessford at the start
and kept gaining rapidly. The man
thought of the derailing switch, and,
frightened at the aspect of either wrecking
the engine there or passing it out upon
the main tracks, ran like the wind in pur-
suit.
William Kelley, who sits up in the switch
tower at Seventy-frst street, heard the
"crazy' engine rumbling down the track
and for moment considered giving it the
open tracks. Then he foresaw the greater
consequences of collision beyond and let
the wild engineer take his own course.
On Callahan brought the swiftly moving

Democrats are in the ascendant, while
most of the rest pass free silver resolutions
or their equivalent. Aside from this, it is
now becoming understood that free silver
is a distinctive tenet of Populism which
no Republican can afford to countenance.
The republican party, in which is now
centered the best thought and hope of the
country, has placed itself sternly in oppo-
sition to the debasement of our currency.
Those who were wavering on this issue
before are now convinced or satisfied.
There was q areassuring proof of this in the
action of the Seventh congressional dis
trict convention of this state. The senti-
ment in favor Of free silver has ALWAYS
been strongest in the northwestern cot1n-
ties Of Minnesota, constituting the Sew
enth district Representatives from the
Seventh have earnestly sought for any
modification of pronounced Republican
views on the money question that might
not be too offensive to the voter inn
bued with free silver notions This was
the one district in the state with regard to
which It was possible to entertain doubt
OF it's soundness on the money question,
But its Republican congressional conyen-
tion adopted platform which is out
spoken and unequivocal in favor Of an
honest dollar. Of real bimetalism. and Of
maintaining the parity Of values, while q

The, vote in the Twelfth congressional
District shows that the defeat OF the
Democratic candidate was not due to
-stay-at-homes, but that all
the voters In the district went to the
polls. The san Antonio Express has
been making an analysis OF the vote
and finds that the Democrats cast H.
Oi5 votes. Republicans 1855, Popullsts
1870; a total of 27si3. The vote in
1892 was 25Sli. thus showing a gain OF
twenty-nine votes in the district. The
Democratic loss was 1905 votes, the

ton produced in the world Is in excess
OF the amount needed for consumption,
the natural result in prices will be low.
The Gazette does not antagonize this
theory. but It does maintain that the
present condition Of affairs is not caused
by over production, Southern farmers
and planters are selling their cotton to-
day at cents, with total visible sup
ply in the world OF 4,39a033 bales. In
1891 the total visible supply was A.
4sg,O97, or 4O.0G5 bales more than this
year. But the relative value Of cotton
that year was cents for December de-
livery as against cents for this years
delivery for the same month.
1t must be remembered, too. that the
year 1891 followed closely after the
great Barring failure. when the finan-
eial pulse Of the world was beating
feverishly. although the price of silver
was higher than at present. We find
that In the year 1892, with only 1853
bales OF cotton less than this year the
relative price for December was liz
cents; and that In 1893 the world pro-
duced 90,355 bales less than this year,
but the price was for the same month.
~ cents.
The truth is the question Of produce
tlon has not cut that figure in the price
of cotton some Of the gold standard
advocates would have us believe. on
the 18th Of this month the price of cot
ton was cents lower on the New
York market that It was in 1892 with a
smaller production this year than in
1891. These are facts which the single
standard money advocates cannot get
away from. and should convince the
farmers and planters that whenever the
government strikes at silver It also
strikes at the value OF all products of
the soil.
