A Good Hiding Place.

The heart of a big city is about the
safest hiding place a man can seek,
said the proprietor of a leading up
town hotel. If | wanted to keep out
of the clutches of the law for a
specified time, I'd go to New York and
get board at one of the principal
hotels. I'll wager every cent l possess
that no detective or policeman would
cver find me. Some years ago a New
York man was wanted to testify in an
important suit in which Jay Gould was
largely interested. He came to the st.
James and whispered to me hat he
had important reasons for wanting to
keep very dark for ten days or two
weeks. | fixed him out in elegant
quarters. but not a bell boy in the
house was aware of his presence. De-
tectives hung around the place, as they
did about every other hotel in Gotham,
but in vain. High and low, all owe
the United States, search was made for
this man, who was spending a luXuri-
Gus, but rather monotonous, holiday
in one of our best suites. After the
hunt for him ceased he came out of re-
tirement, and Mr.. Gould. l afterward
learned, gave him a very substantial
recognition of his appreciation of the
seclusion act.-Washington Star.

CRASHED AT A CROSSING.
Fifteen Persons Injured, Where Scores
Might Have Been Killed.

Might Have Been Killed.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 15.-Nothing but
q miracle prevented one of the most
horrible wrecks in the history of
Louisiana yesterday. As it is about
fifteen people were more or less in
jured, seven of them seriously. and
$40, 600 worth of railroad property was
destroyed. The wreck was at the
junction of the Louisville & Nashville
and New Orleans & Northeastern
tracks, about two miles from the city,
and occurred iiast before $50 o'clock.
The colliding trains were the Louis
vile & Nashville excursion and the
East Lcuisiana-Covington excursion
train. Both trains were completely
flled with pleasure-seekers bound for
the lake coast resorts on the pine lands
of Saint Tammany parish.
The engineer of the Louisville &
Nashville train claims he stopped be-
fore reaching the crossing. and is sub
s%tantiated by the passengers on his
train, and that he blew the warning
whistle that he was going ahead and
received no response. He started
ahead and then saw the East Louisi-
ana train bearing down or him at a
good rate of speed. Having started, it
was too late to think of stopping and
reversing, so he opened the throttle
and tried to get over the crossing be-
fore the other train reached him.
As subsequent events proved he failed
in his effort, and the consequence was
that when the other train struck his,
the coupling parted ard the engine
and seven coaches were not stopped
for over 100 yards. There is no doubt
in the world but that this prevented a
greater disaster, for it broke the force
of the shock from the East Louisiana
train. diverting its impetus and pre-
venting the engine from crashing head
on into the coach. filed with a mass of
humanity. totally oblivious of the fact
that grim death stared them in the
face.
The East Louisiana engineer claims
that the air brakes refused to work,
and that when he found that it was
impossible to avoid a collision he
and his fireman jumped, the latter be-
ing the first to leap from the cab. The
latter claims that the customary
whistle was blown, but a good many
persons dispute hat fact.

With this condition Of our coin and currency
it is idle TO talk about the want of more money.
Free coinage would debase our money, expel

rencv on the position Of Brazil, Argentine and
Mexico.
FellOw-citizens these are all grave and seri-
Gus questions that should be far above the
passing questions of political strife. They de-
mand your serious thought 1 believe the re-
publican party is better able to deal with them
wisely than the democratic party. That party
is hopelessly divided. Its free silver plank in
Ohio is but an indication of willingness to sac
rifce the business interests Of the country for
a transient party cry. The republican party
that conducted our country through the war
Of the rebellion, that has maintained the honor
and credit Of our country for more than thirty
years. can safely be trusted to solve these
financial problems. The past is the best securi-
ty for the future.

A Colt Furnishes a Ram for Cruelty.

The following is Il little incident
which came under the observation of
the writer: Two young horses have
been kept in a pasture with a number
of cows and a year-old calf and they
were accustomed to come up to the
gate every night with the cows, the
older leading the line and the younger
bringing up the rear. Owing to a
want of water in their pasture some
sheep were brought to the one it
which the horse and cows were kept
and these sometimes followed the cow
when they came at night to be MIXED.
On night they did so and when all the
animals were standing together the
ram bucked the calf, which could not
defend itself. and the older colt. going
over to it, seized the ram by the wool
on its back and, lifting it entirely Off
the ground, shook it vigorously. He
then placed it on the ground and it
quickly IA away while the horse con
tinued to stand guard over his friend.

Time at the North Pole.

If the north pole is eve reached the
adventurous spirits who get there will
find hat they have actually out
stripped father time altogether-in
tlct. he will have given up the race en-
I .rely, for at the northern and south
ern extremities Of the earth's axis
there is NO fixed time at all. At any
Iioment it can be either noon or mid
night, breakfast-time. or supper-time,
~ork-time or play-time. whichever
time you like. Clocks will be a fraud
and a delusiOn, for at the pole all de-
erees of longitude conveage into one,
and therefore all times. The possibili-
ties of such a position are endless.
Not only. too. will the clocks be put of

AKRON, O., Oct. Ex-senator John
Sherman spoke on political issues of the
present campaign here to-day, opening
the Ohio campaign. He said:
FELLOW ~CITIzENs-The most important fea-
ture of this political campaign is the election
of members of the house Of representatives of
the United States You may think that what
happens in congress at Washington is too re-
mote to affect your interests. In this you are
greatly mistaken. The action of congress in
1eyying taxes for the support Of the national
government. and in providing money. whether
coin or paper money. as the measure OF value,
affects directly every inhabitant of the United
States. whether poor or rich, whatever may be
his employment, whether a laborer, n farmer,
a capitalist or Il business man. Everyone,
whether a producer or q consumer. is deeply
interested in the taxes he has to pay and in
the money he receives or pays.

HELD UP BY ROBBERS.
A Train on the Richmond. Fredericksburg
& Potomac Robbed

& Potomac Robbed.
RICHMOND, Va. Oct. 10. - The
north-bound passenger train on the
Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac
railroad, which left here at : o'clock
last night, was held up near Quantico.
The engineer and fireman were forced
from their engine and the engine was
cut loose and sent ahead. The express
car was then entered, the messengers
covered with pistols and the safe blown
open and robbed. The runaway loco
motive was stopped at Quantico by OBJ
structing the track.
1t is stated here now that there
was an unusually large amont of money
on the train, probably $4,000. The
robbers, seven in number, were masked,
and did not blow open the safe as first
reported. They forced the messenger to
open it. The railroad has offered ST.
the robbers.
The express messenger. b. +. Crutch-
field, and his helper, II. Murray, barred
the doors of the express car, but these
were blown open with dynamite.
After the robbery the thieves made off
with their booty in the direction of the
Potomac river, where it is supposed
they had a boat in waiting to take
them to the Maryland side. None of
the robbers entered the passenger
coaches.
The express messenger said that the
safe contained Sl50.O00. The robbers
secured this and all of the express
packages containing money. It is
thought this amount will loot up tc
about $50. 600.
