at the meeting held at the Hastings
Courtroom last night.
Altogether the league starts under
the most suspicious circumstances. It's
mem bership has been brought UP nearly
to 40, while others have signified their
intention of enrolling themselves in the
organization. Its officers were selected
from among the representative Young
business men OF the city and, from the
interest manifested, give indications OF
laboring zealously and consclentiouBly
for the good Of the league and the city.

careful report, which WAS read and dis

The selection Of the various standing
committees was delayed until the next

Upon the suggestion OF Mr. Greene,
the question OF having the league or the
city represented at the meeting to be
held in New York on June 81, which is
TO be in the interest Of Southern de-
velopment, was brought up, but final
action postponed until Monday night.
The meeting then adjourned until that

RRIEF CAREER oF a HERO.
Bravery of Hoosier Journalist Denied by
aFrfghtened RaiIroad Man.

BTnVery of n Hoosier Journalist Denied by
aFrightened RaiIroad Man.
He was newspaper man, lived a
long distance from the business cen
ter of the city, went home late at
night and fondled big gun in his
overcoat pocket as he wended his way
through the streets homeward bound.
He whistled at times, again warbled
little dirty or talked to himself for
eompany's sake and had nervous,
constitutional fear of meeting foot
pads. He passed the mouth of an
alley, and man stepped out of the
shadows.
That was enough. The newspaper
man jerked out his gun and covered
the stranger, with the remark: 'sUp
with your hands Don't say a word,
or I'll blow the top of your head off ;"
The strangers arms shot up into
space, and he was speechIess. The
newspaper man then, keeping his
gun at aim, began backing down
toward the street corner as rapidly
as possible. AS soon as he had
reached the corner he suddenly
jammed the revolver down into his
pocket, wheeled and started away at
a gait that would have made Direc-
tum ashamed of himself. His home
was only a half block away, and
when he bolted into the house and
had the door bolted behind him he
told his wife the story of his having
been assaulted by a footpad and ex-
patiated upon his remarkable Prov
ess In putting the highwayman to
flight.
As he came from his house the next
morning to go to his daily toll he was
joined by his next door neighbor, a
well known railroad conductor. Then
the railroad man gave the newspa-
per man piece of news. He said
that while he was on his way home
the night before, and just around the
corner, he stepped into an alley. As
he was coming out on the sidewalk
his heart stopped beating and his
blood was chilled as he looked into
the cold, shining muzzle of a revolv-
er and was invited to throw up his
hands.

asked the newspaper man.
: del look like id foolY'' asked
the railroad man and added: Il
poked my arms upiRtto the air until
my shoulders cracked. Thef,nniest
thing about it was, though, that the

he reached the corner and then ran

Hard One.
No one knows better than prac-
teal rssiiroader that fiagman's life
is not the rosiest, and the response
bility of his position only seems 10
dawn upon travellers when he has
neglected his duty and los of life has
resulted. It is his duty Is look after
the rear end of the tlsllil. and If any
mishap poccuIs the flagman IS theman
who has to answer for II. Its not
the most gratifying thing in the
world to be stirred up from a snug
corner IN a warm caboose ON a cold
night and sent back for perhaps a
mile IN the storm TO flag a train. Yet
this is done nightly. and not infre-
Quently the fiagnlan has to stand any
where from 80 minutes TO an hour
and half unprotected until the well
come blast from the engine calls him
in.
There Is a peculiar code of signals,
familiar to all fag1nen, but not un-
derstood by the mass OF travellers.
For 1lstanee ls5llt fisalln. leaves
this city, going east and IS followed
by a second section. When the first
train reaches B., the freight con-
ductor receives orders to hold his
train He doesn't know why. It
isn't necessary He has the order
and carries it out. He then dis
patches his flagman back to prevent
the approach of the train following.
If 1t is in daylight the fiagman
takes with him small flag for the
purpose, and by means of which
warns the engineer of the approach
ing train. If at night, he carries a
lantern and by peculiar swing ac-
complishes the same result. If the
trains are running fast and close to-
gether and the stop order to the first
train is unexpected, the hagman has
to hustle to prevent the rear train
from crashing into the train ahead.
Very often the trains are running
far apart, or again there may be dam
ger of a passenger train overtaking
the freight. In such case the flag
man may have to wait for quite
awhile until it approaches. If the
train ahead should receive further
orders to proceed, and the fagman Is
out of sight and hearing, the engi-
neer gives four long blasts on the
whistle. which is a signal for him to
return.
If the train were going west, four
long and one short blasts would be
given. If up to the time that the
hagman is called in the rear train
has not approached, he then places
ON the track one or two torpedoes,
according to the circumstances.
These are exploded by the engine
following. One torpedo indicates a
full stop, while two simply mean
that caution is to be exercised.

Looks Easy.

1t is amusing to watch green con-
ductor trying to place a trolley on the
wire. To a practiced hand it is easy
enough, but to the prentice it is work
ofwoe eindeed. One of these men found
to his sorrow that it is not so easy as
it looks. 1t was at night, and the
passengers were rudely disturbed in
the perusal of their papers by the
lights going out, and soon after their
equilibrium was upset by the car
coming to dead stop. There was
nothing to do but to wait until the
conductor replaced the trolley. He
tried for some minutes, but the fes-
tive wire eluded him. The trolley
would bang against it in a tantalizinR
manner and make a fine display of
blue sparks, but the vexation contin-
ued until the passengers were becom-
ing angry and had about made up
their minds to get out and walk,
when conductor of one of the long
string of cars behind the stalled one
went to the rescue and adjusted the
trolley and the tempers of the pas
sengers with the greatest ease inn
aginable. Buffalo Express.

Naturally the good fellow felt
hugely elated by the strange but,
