He Claims That He Faces Dangers Which

When the railroad men left the oabls
Car at the head Of the Milwaukee ave.
nue. viaduct, the gripman threw tha
lever forward with an emphatic zip"
and said: "Those locomotive engineers
think they are the only men With nerve
who ride on rails Did you hear them
talking about how weak they felt after
their machine had just missed knocking
some clumsy farmer over the telegraph
wires and how they sweat a cold sweat
when the baby toddled in front Of their
engine? Did you get onto their trick for a
layof because they have lost their nerve
through running fast and can t make
over 10 miles an hour until they get
their nerve back again? If those engi-
neers would take this run, they would
be wet through all the time and wouldn' {
have enough nerve left to sass mcssen-
ger boy.
''There are more kids to the acre up
Milwaukee avenue than anywhere else
in the city, and every last one Of them
plays in between the street car tracks
We have close shaves every block Just
like that. Did you see that man then?
He had plenty of time to wait for the
three seconds it takes for us to pass, but
he couldn't wait, and we grazed him.
We don'tr run 60 miles an hour, but you
can kin man just as quick at 10 miles
an hour, and it shakes you up just as
much. There isn't a gripman in Chicago

Once Senator Stanford was travelling
through California in his private car.
The train had stopped at small town.
and the senator was leisurely strolling
back and forth on the platform at the
depot. A baggageman was unloading
trunks, and In doing SO carelessly pitched
one onto tho platform, and it burst
open. The senator looked at it and re-

Bob smith Turns Popuii-t.

HELENA, March 3i.-Ihc populist
meeting at the Auditorium tonight was
surprised by the accession to its ranks
OF Robert b. Smith. who took the plat
form and made speech. Smith was a
democrat and was district attorney dur
ing Cleveland's first term. He said he
had always been democrat, and still
thought he was. but the party had gone
wrong on silver. He could not go into
the republican party, as that was the
originator Of the gold standard. Re
publicans in Montana claimed to be the
friends Of silver. but in congress they
could not muster ten per cent Of their
votes for the white metal. He was with
the populists on silver, low tariff and the
income tax. t-re -,

Gov. Tillman is much worried and has
telegraphed orders to nearly every mill
tary company in the state to proceed
here at once. the intention being To
mass all the troops possible together to

panies have arrived. but il the action
Of these companies is safeguard the
governor is depending on forlorn hope.
The company from Newbury has al.
ready disbanded and troops from the
governors own county say they will re.
fuse to go to Darlington. To-day the
Gordon light infantry declined to go and
sent Gov. Tillman a dispatch saying:
We are in sympathy with the citizens
of Darlington in their purpose Of defense
Of their homes" The Sumpter infantry
have refused 10 obey orders. The fourth
brigade Of Charleston, the largest and
best equipped troop IN the state. has
been ordered 10 the front and will not
go. Several companies, however have
been more faithful to the governor. and

purpose was to dissusde them from GO

of the cars near the states prison and
marched thereto. being followed by cltiz-
ems. \ platoon Of penitentiary guards
came out Of the gate and leyeled their
guns at the crowd. ordering them To
halt declaring they would shoot. Capt.
McCsugnty came out and addressed the
crowd, saying his company did not in

ward the company withdrew from the
prison and went to hotel.
Three cons;ab.cs. who We're IN the

night on special train, and are now
safely housed in the penientiary. They
tell most thrilling and graphic stories Of
the tragedy at Darlington.
Troubles grew out Of hatred Of the
populace against whiskey spies under
the state dispensary law. A few citizens
Of Darlington were seated around the
depot and number of spies collected in
group short distance off. T. r. Nor

wounded. The citizens at once armed

barians.
The approach to Shiraz is a success
sion of surprises. The town, COM
pact and yellow mass of crowded
dwellings, appears to rise abruptly and
close at hand above the level plain
which we are crossing. All at once q
profound ravine opens in front of us,
and perched high up on the summit of
the yellow cliffs on the other side are
the houses which we saw from the
plain. Descending steeply to the peb-
bly, floor of this ravine, which is. an an
cient river-bed, we turn to tho left and
ride along under the perpendicular
ledge. There are filthy pools
along the bottom of il, and black
Shiny stains descend the rocky walt
from the rickety wooden balconies
ana projecting windows of the town
above us. If the people overhead are
dying of cholera they are surely very
quiet about it, and there is no sign of
life at any of the windows. We come
to the chapar khaneh Gnnf on the
other side of the ravine. 1t is locked
up, hand little further on the ravine
opens on to a broad river, which we
cross by bridge, and enter an impos-
ing caravansary of the time of Shah
'Abbas.
In this way we avoid entering the
town. The river is bordered on both
sides by vertical cliffs, and from the
gate of the caravansary, looking back
across the bridge, we get the most
striking view of Yezdikhast. The long
ledge on which it stands is pierced
by many caves and openings along
the top, and from a distance it is
difficult to make out just where
the town begins, where the caves be-
come windows and doors. They are
accumulated in many places, by jutting
windows and crazy-looking balconies
p~opped by sticks, at a great height
above the stream below. This long
rock ends in thin wedge where the
ravine on the other side enters the
.river-bed. Separated at the other end
from the main range of cliffs by a spe-
cies of drawbridge, it can easily be
made as inaccessible as vulture's
nest perched on crag, and the dark
streaks which stain the cliffs below
heighten the resemblance. to a roost-
.ing-place of those scavengers of the
desert. Edwin Lord Weeks, in Har.
per's Magazine.
