None Left the Ranks

San Francisco Argonaut.
During the Revolutionary war the
troops under Col. McLane's command
were suffering for provisions and cloth
ling and congress had been repeatedly
petitioned for that relief which was not
i'll its power to bestow. Under these
circumstances Col. McLane paraded his
band OF suffering soldiers, who were
about going into winter quarters at
Valley Forge. and addressed them as
follows: 'Fellow soldiers. you have
served your country faithfully and
truly. We have fought hard fights to-
gether against a hard enemy. You are In
a bad way for comfortable clothes, and
it almost makes me cry to see YOU
tracking your half-frozen, bloody feet
on the cold ground. But congress can't
help it, nor can 1. Now, If you want to

Origin Of a Famous Phrase.

The Boston Transcript says that the
phrase millions for defense. but not a
cent for tribute" did not originate in
the popular determination to paw no
more money to Barbary pirates to Sc
cure protection for American yes
sells. and that the word penny" did not
occur in the original.
'Charles Cotesworth Pinckney," it
says. minister OF the United States
sent to France to settle our differences
with the directory. when approached
ny French agent with an intimation
1hat peace could be had only by the
United States paying for it, retorted.
millions for defense, put not one cent
for tribute" Afterwards his words
were adopted as our war cry in the con-
test against the Tripoli pirates.

SAVED THE BOY,
An Electric Car Motorman Shows
Presence of Mind.

George w. Harold, motoneer on car
63l of the Eighth avenue line, proved
himself yesterday afternoon to be a
man of good Judgment and of remark
able presence of mind. Harold was
driving his car past the Washington
school on Sixth street during the noon
recess, when a small boy, who was be-
ing chased by another boy, ran directly
In front of the moving car and stopped
with his back toward the car. Harold did
his best to stop the car. but the whole
thing happened so suddenly and the dis
tance was so short that the momentum
of the car was hardly slackened wnen it
struck the boy. and went grinding over
the very spot where he had been stand
ing. The motoneer mad. however, oD
discovering that it would be impossible
to stop the car, leaned over the front
and seized the boy Just as he was falling
beneath the wheels and thrown him off
the track and out of danger. 1t was
the only way to save the boys life. and
Harold saw it, and, although he prevented
an accident, he ran considerable risk in
being jerked from the car aud being
run over.

SCORE INJURED.
The Trains Come Together With
Terrific Force.

New ORLEANS, La, Oct. 15.-En-
gin eer Sim pson OF the East Louisa ma
road is = responsible for frightful ac-
cident that occurred yesterday morn
ing at the crossing Of the Louisville
and Nashville and the Northeastern
road, about two miles from where the
Louisville and Nashville road leaves
Elysian Fields street-an accident
that Will IN all probability result in
at least one fatality, while a score of
passengers on the Louisville and
Nashville received severe injuries
The Louisville and Nashville across
the lake excursion train, consisting
of eight coaches, well loaded with
of them being women and children,
pulled out on time As the train APP
preached the crossing of the North
eastern tracks, Engineer Hanley
brought his train to a stop and whis-
tied, as the law requires. He then
gave the signal to GO ahead and pro
ceeded across the tracks Of
the Northeastern, lust as the East
Louisiana train, carrying excursion
lists to points in South Tammany
parish, was booming along its tracks
and with shrin shrek from its
whistle for down brakes crashed
into the sixth coach of the Louisville
and Nashville train. The collision
threw a crowded coach completely
into the ditch while the attacking
engine was derailed and buried its
nose several feet in the mud.
Passengers on the East Louisiana
train were uninjured, except for the
shock of the collision Not SO with
the coast excursion, however just
before the iron monster struck the
coach several Of the passengers saw
it coming and a panic ensued There
was wild rush to esca pc from the
coach, but before one of the passen-
gers could reach either platform the
approaching engine had struck, and
the coach with its living freight was
hurled from the track into the ditch
Women and children shrielzed in their
terror, while men fought their
way blindly for some escape
from the coach. Seats were torn
up and hurled in every direc-
ton by the force of the collision
and after the first wild panic had sub
sided there was heard piteous means
from different quarters Of the wreck
telling Of painful injuries Willing
hands went to work and within a
short time the wounded had been
taken from the coach and made as
comfortable. as circumstances would
p rnit.
The greatest indignation and anger
prevailed among the witnesses of the
collision against Engineer Simpson,
who had ruthlessly disregarded the
law requiring him to stop. and had
caused the frightful accident. In
quiry developed the fact that Simpson
had escaped to the swamp.

are almost as many theories afioat as

points on which the theories are
practically harm onious are that the
robbery was carefully planned

fessionals and that the men are prob
ably far distant from their field Of
operations before this time Most
parties agree that a boat played a
part in the escape, but no strange
crafts were seen on the Potomac

H X. Hilton Drives through twenty Miles
of Them.
II. r. Hilton, who has recently re-
turned from a trip in western Kansas
said: "While l was gone I drove over
land from Garden City to Oakley, dis
lance of ninety miles and I found the
farms nearly all deserted. The farmer
who had a small bunch Of cattle Is still
there, but the farm lands are rapidly re-
turning to their original state. The west
ern part of the state will again become "a
grazing country, but instead Of the large
herds which used to be there, you wall
find only small punches.
There is no reason" he continued.
''why cattle raising in the west should not
prove successful. They can raise cattle
there at half the cost Of feed alone n
this part of the country and then they
have freights in their favor. y earling
steers are now shipped from Texas 10
Montana, then as stock cattle 20 Omaha
and then to Kansas City where they are
bought and sent out through eastern
Kansas for feeders, and think what bin
of freight there is against each animal
when he gets to the feeding place. The
cattle on the western prairies do not
make this, round and are kept there UNI
til they are ready to turn OIL"

New YORK, Oct. Ex-senator Cal vim
S. Brice, president of the Lake Erie
and Western railway and chairman
of the committee on reorganization
of the Union Pacific roads in tn E
senate, had this to say yesterday:
1.-THE railroads could not form a trust
with the law as it is at present. Such
com bine would be like a rope of
sand and have nothing to hold it to-
gether- We must have pooling legal
lied and permitted before we can get
tOge ther.''
John K Cowen, general counsel Of
the Baltimore and Ohio road said: Il
have heard nothing about the forma-
ton of the proposed trust and know
that our company is not identified
with it. -
The Delaware, Lake Shore and
Western railway claim to have no in
formation on the subject, although
they would be likely to be Interested
in some thing of the kind.
Drexel, Morgan & Co., the bankers,
disclaim any knowledge of the mat
ter, as did also the Southern railway
people. The Southern Pacific people
say they know nothing about the pro-
posed sscom bine,'' but state that they
viii join with the other roads in doing
away with the multiplicity of agents.
