How Two Girls Settled Dispute About

How Two Girls Settled n Dispute About
 Paying Car Fare.
 The little byplay between two women in the street car, to see who shall (not) pay the fares, while both are begging to be allowed to do it. is always interesting, although it has been noticed ever since horse railroads were discovered. A con ductor on a Broad street trolley car says that he actually saw an exception to the usual proceeding last week. Two girls got on at Taylor street and both opened their purses and began pretending to look for dimes in the ruck of cents, quarters, but tons and scraps of paper.
 Let me pay it, Anna. I know have q 10 cent piece right here, !" said the young woman. nearest the door.
 No, let me t',is time, Emily. You know you paid last time we went down town together, md l am sure l have just got the change"
 They seemed to have difficulty in fishing out the money, and meanwhile the con- ductor entered the car and stood in front of them. Both got out their dimes at the same instant, and they looked into each 3other's eyes.
 si "I'n tell you what I'll do, " said Anna. i"Let's match to see who pays? You match me-" and she laid the dime on the back of ono of her gloved hands and covered it with'the other.
 No, I'll match you," said Emily, thinking she was changing the order of arrangement most shrewdly, and conse- quently there must be some advantage in lso doing.
 Both coins came out head and Emily remarked with sigh, "There, you have lost, and I'll have to pay, and taking up the two coins she gave one to the conduct or and put the other in her purse.
 The conductor said it was all right in the end, but he could not understand the mutual process by which the conclusion was arrived at. AS he was leaving he heard Emily says, "Oh isn't it excitingP We'll have to do that every time, but let's S do it before we get on the car. "-Newark Call

BIT OF RAILROAD FIX TENSION

RUssFLLvILLE, Sept. 15.-[Special Cor respondence. IA large number of hands, a long string of teams and wheel scrapers passed through Russellville yesterday from Colbert county to hegin work on the ex- tension of the Iron Mountain railroad from Fassick's rock quarry to the Hamil- ton iron ore beds, a distance of about two miles. The ore on Hamilton creek is said to be of an excellent quality and mines are to be opened for the purpose of supplying the Salisbury furnace at Sheffield. The extension of this road will give employ ment to a umber of hands and teams for several weeks, and the opening of the ore beds on Hamilton creek will add greatly to the business of Franklin county.

NEW YORK, Sept. I7.--There were not very many persons at the Gravesend track this afternoon despite that the fields were large and the card very attractive. The principal events of the day were the races for the Clinton stake and the WoodlaWn handicap. In the stake race Star Actress assumed the task of pacemaker at the start, leading the field to the back stretch, but at the far turn had to surrender her posi- tion, and Beldemere, Pocahontas and Lightfoot drew away together. In rat ting finish Lightfoot won by head from Pocahontas, who finished a length and a half in trons of Bedeniere. Banquet broke ahead of his field in the race for the Wood lawn handicap. Sims at once steadied him and dropped to the rear to keep The Pepper company. In the meantime Hornpipe and Gloaming forged to the front, but when they swung into the stretch Faraday was leading by neck. This lead he maintained to within a few strides of the finish, when Banquet got up under punishment and be at him out by a head. The surprise of the day was Gotham, who, at 10 to ], easily wres ted victory from the favorite, Applause, in the fifth race.
 First race, five furlongs-Kennet, 107 (simms), Il to 5. won; Nicoini second, Enchanter third. Time, 1:02%.
 Second race, six furlongs-Little Billy, 109 (Reiff), IS to 5. won; Derfargilla sec ond, Discount third. Time, 1:14H.

WILL THEY NOMINATE?

JEFFERsoNIANs AND PoPULIsrs OF THE
 SEVENTH DISTRICT TO MEET Ar ATTALLA
 TODAY
 The Jeffersonians and populists of the Seventh Congressional district will hold their convention at Attala today.
 It is possible that nomination will be made, though it is more probable the con- vention will meet, pass set of resolutions and adjourn, thereby giving Colonel Dem son quasi indorsement.
 It will require conference of the leaders and the delegates to determine upon the policy to be pursued in that district.
 The majority of the Jeffersonian leaders seen by an AGE-HERALD reporter yester- day seemed to oppose a nomination, as they said the platform upon which Colonel Denson was nominated en braces nearly all of their demands.

COlOradO's Prosperity.

The State OF Colorado appears to
be more prosperous than ever before,
and the consequence is that people
have to large extent stopped talking
about silver. The Engineering and
Mining Journal takes notice of the fact
that at the recent" Festival of Mountain
and Plain" in Denver there was no ref.
erences in the banners and placards to
the legend of 16 to l and none to any
phase of the silver question rs polit.
ical issue. "This." says the Journal,
was the more striking since the pa
rade of the first day was intended to
be an allegorical representation of the
development of Colorado and its in
dustries. The fact of the matter is
that the silver question is as dead in
Denver as it is in New York. We do
not mean to say that the people of the
Western city are no longer interested
in the price of silver, for the metal is
one that they prcdnce in large guam
titles, but, with the exception of the
demagogues, every one has come to
the conclusion that the cause of indie
pendent free coinage is hopeless, and
no one pays mech attention to the
