FOOLED BY A. SHIRT TAIL.
Fiends Loosening Several
ID Rails Frightened Away
and Train Tagged.
FREIGHT TRAIN DlrcHRD
In the Limits Of St. Paul and
Box Cars Smashed to
Splinters.

Local Wisconsin Central representa-
tlves report dastardly attempt early
yesterday morning to wreck one Of their
trains near Stevens Point. Three rails
were loosened by gang of miscreants.
man heard them at work, disturbed
them, and they fed. He gave the sig
nal that stopped the train. The means
that he used were very original. 1t is
reported that as soon as no saw what
the men were endeavoring to dO-to
throw the train down the embankment
at this point-he thought quickly. He
tore oh the tail of his shirt. lighted it,
and with this flash through the dark
ness saved the train. 1t lasted but an
instant. but it was sufficient. 1t was
found that the spikes had been with.
drawn. By slowing up the train passed
safely over. The flight of the villain
Gus wOuld-be wreckers was so precipi-
tate that they abandoned their tools.
This was the train that reached St.Paul
from Chicago yesterday morning. Now
that a terrible accident was happily
averted, local official expressed HIM
SELF thus yesterday:
"The block system of tagging trains.
In vogue on the Pennsylvania aud other
Eastern lines, has been eminently sue.
cessful. You may say. however. that
the Wisconsin Central mas taken the
initiative. 1t might be called the Shirt.
tail system There is no probability in
its becoming adopted. however. You
may say further that there is no truth
whatever in the absurd report that men
in the service are to be supplied with
several extra separabie caudal append
ages to be used as flambeaux to flag
lraIns."

A wild rumor was afioat last night
to the effect that Chicago Great West
ern passenger train, with 400 passengers

lower union depot yards. that 1t had

people were being roasted alive. A

found that the story was the coinbiua.
ton of two events. occurring almost at
the same time. and grossly exaggerated.
The fire portion of the tale grew out
of switch engine that caught fire in
the yards. but which was eXtinguished
by switchman with a pail of water. 1t
is supposed TO have originated from the
burning contents OF tobacco pipe. or
else from a lighted lamp. This occurred
about O'clock 30 '''''..'-' 4''' 30"
The train portion of the report was
far more serious matter. 1t was found
that, owing to some one careleSSly
throwing switch wrong, a Chicago
Great Western transfer had been
ditched near the Burlington track cross
ing. The train was long one, contain
ing some emptles besides a number of
cars loaded with general merchandise.
consisting of boxes, bales, etc. As soon
as the train crew felt the train going
over the brakemen easily got off. and
the engineer and fireman jumped off on
the left side. The result was that no
one was injured. Perhaps half dozen
box cars were split up into kindling
wood. Some of these were empties,
and the rest contained merchandise,
which was scattered about promiscu-
Ously over the ground. The locomotive
careened, and fell over on its side,
where it lay snorting and putting out
steam, like a leviathar In Its death
struggles. 1t is probably complete
wreck. A singular thing happened In
the smash-up. The tender was torn
entirely off its trucks. and a huge box
car lifted and hurled upon the trucks in
its place. A wrecking engine was sent
for to clear the debris off the st. Paul &
Duluth and the Omaha tracks. 1t was
very fortupate that no one was hurt, land
that matters did not result more dis.
astrously than they did. No one could
be found who would give even an ap-
pIoximate estimate of the damages.

Bleaching Yellow Diamonds.

The discovery of diamonds in South
Africa led indirectly to some clever de-
ceit by the dealers Many of the South
African diamonds have a straw tint,
which has an unfavorable effect on
their price, especially as experts be-
lieve it will become more decided the
longer the stones are exposed to the
air. Some of the more knowing deal
ers discovered that by subjecting the
straw-tinted diamonds to bath of GER
tain acids the Objectionable color was
removed and the gems become pure
white. A number of diamonds so
treated were sold in Paris and Berlin,
and brought higher prices than they
would if they had retained their orig
inal color.
After exposure to the action Of the
air for acertain time the original color
returns, but by that they have passed
out of the dealers hands. The fraud
was soon found out by the trade, and
they now guard against impositions of
such a character by means of various
tests. Of these the most generally
used are the hot water bath or fric-
ton. If dyed stone be left in hot
water q few minutes it resumes its
original hue; or if the gem be rubbed
sharply on a towel, or even on the
coat sleeve, its normal color can be de-
tected. These tests are simple and eff
icacious and are in daily use.-Pall
Mall Gazette.
