WITH A BULLET IN HIS HEAD

WITH A BULLET IN HIS HEAD. Sang Merrily to His Boarding House
 Companions.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-An actor, who belongs in Terre Haute. Ind, is lying in precarious condition in Bellevue Hospital. He is suffering from a pis- tol shot in the head self inflicted. The physicians at the hospital regard Rip ley's case as one of the most remarka ble on record, for the reason that the man has lived over 36 hours with heavy calibre bullet in his head. Further that while he must have been suffering untold agony, he was able to walk about the city and keep the matter secret.
 It appears that Ripley, who is sing CT in comic opera company, shot him. self in the head two days ago. A doc tor who examined the wound pronounce ed it trivial one and Ripley, who had an attack of delirium tremens went out to the stoop of his boarding house and for hours serenaded his fellow lodgers with such beautiful ditties as 1.-Two Little Girls in Blue," and Sweet Marie." Next day it was discovered that he was in bad condition and he walked with friend to Bellevue Hos- pital. The doctors say he cannot re. cover. A note found in his room in- dicated that the man intended suicide.

THE CREEP OF IRON RAILS.

Unless there are counteracting in
fiuences, the natural tendency of rail
Is to creep downward. obeyng the
we'll known laws Of gravity. If, how
ever. the grade be too slight to give
much effect to this law. and in fact. so
slight as TO require the use of steam IN
the handling Of descending trains, this
natural tendency may be minimized,
and indeed. overcome and reversed. by
constant draft Of loads in the direction
of its descent, says II. O. Ward. IN the
| Charleston News and Courier. Heavy
loads pulling constantly in one direc-
ton have Il tendency t0 drive the rail
in the opposite direction. Should II
be necessary, however, to apply the
brakes, the rail Is driven in the direc
ton Of the moving train. On perfectly
level track the rail almost invariably
''creeps" in the opposites dirdction
from the movement of the heaviest and
most contant traffic, except the points
where it is customary to shut off and
apply the brakes. at which the creep"
is in the same direction.
On roads having grades which
change abruptly from ascending and
descending grades over the crown of
a hill, it often happens that the rails
creep" up grade on both sides of the
crown, and this 81 especially true where
long. heavy trains are run, as the
heavy pulling Of the engine after it
has passed the crown going down
grade causes 1t to drive the rail up
ward on the one side, while the rear Of
the train has somewhat the tendency to
pull or at least to hold the rail on the
opposite ascent. One rail often
"creeps" faster than the other; this is
not confined to the east rail or the west
rail, the north or the south 1t is due
to a variety of causes, and to none per-
haps more than to the fact that there
is difference, and often a peculiarly,
in humanity.
There is in railroad parlance what
is known as a ''line' and a ''guage'
rail in nine cases out of ten the line"
rail gets the most attention from the
foreman in charge; and, in addition,
two men are usually selected to keep
up" the bolts on joints, one of which Is
generally the most trusted man in the
gang" The other works under him;
almost invariably this trusted man gets
on the ''liue" rail, and thus it will be
seen that the joints and bolts are kept
in better shape on one rail than on tie
other, and are therefore more capable
of resisting the tendency to ''creep."
This habit among trackmen of adopt
ing a pet rails one of the peculiarities
what the same peculiarity-they lath
er and rub, shave and powder one side
of mans fate until human endurance
rebels against the injustice. l wonder
what central magnetic attraction" is
held responsible for this idiosyncrasy?
