There isn't anything in the world
that l know" said an extensive trav-
eler, that makes a man lose his
senses SO completely as being tumbled
over and over in a falling ar, and
yet / met a man once who seemed
the personification of GOODNESS in just
such a situation. As soon as our car
left the track we werea all shot from
our berths in various directions, be-
ing tumbled up and down and around
as the a kept on turning somer-
saults. Like the people l read about,
we landed in the water, and when
the car came to a standstill after its
terrifying humping and crashing /
was so frightened that / could scarce
ly move my arms to keep my head
above water.
who kept his head
Don't splash around So he said.
You'll cut yourself. The car is full
of broken glass, lamps, wrenched
rods and rails. and you'll hack your
self to pieces
But l thought l was drowning,
and / shouted my fears to him.
"'Oh, no. he said, we r not
drowning. Well get out of this east
ly.'
But it was not SO easy to escape
as my cool friend assured me. The
whole inside work had been shat
tered, and there was nothing by
which we could climb to the win
dows, which were high above us, as
our al was overturned, lying III its
roof.
1--WE made SO many efforts to jump
up, always falling back into the wa
ter, that ! became exhausted. My
friend, however, kept on encourag-
ing me.
Finally, with his assistance, /
managed to clutch a window frame,
and ! got out. He followed me
shortly afterward.
1.-The first thing he did when we
had climbed outside was to examine
himself for cuts and other wounds.
well I guess I'm alive he said,
with a laugh.
after we had sat there for awhile
watching with shivers the wreckers
working out to us my friend de-
clared that he was going to crawl
back into the car.
"'Great heavens! l begged, don't
do that. We were lucky to get out
once. You might get pinned there
OF drowned by the rising water
81 have a waistcoat in there he
answered, and in the inside pocket
there's over 81, 600. I'm going back
for that waistcoat. My berth was
an end one, and / might be able to
find it,
In the face of my protests he
crawled back through the window,
and when he dropped down with a
loud splash l was as ratified as if
Twas there again myself. l could
hear him putting around in the water
down there for a long time while he
hshed for his waistcoat. Finally his
wet head came through the window
once more, and | was never more
glad to see a man.
~ got it, he said, with a trium.
plant laugh. Pretty wet. but the
bills seem 10 be here. Watch is gone.
Too bad too. 1t was given to me,
but one can't expect to save every
thing out of a railroad wreck he
added cheerfully.
He was a cool man, that fellow,
and nothing could disturb his good
humor New York Tribune.

1T WAS PU.,EIC POLICY.
Legal Decision OF Importance to
Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 19.-The
court of appeals handed down a decision
today of the highest Importance to
Kansas City. On the ground of public
policy alone, acts done at special meet
ings of the council for a period of nearly
three years before June, 1892. were de-
clared valid, although they are in fact
illegal. In the opinion handed down it
is stated that were it not for the mo-
mentous questions involved, and the
endless litigation which would ensue
from such a construction of the law, the
court would be constrained to declare
all acts done at special meetings of the
council from the time of the adoption of
the new charter in 1889 to June, 1892,
invalid. Among the ordinances
which would fall were il not for
the charitable view taken by
the court of appeals is the one calling
for an issue of 81. 900. 600 worth of bonds
for the building OF a new system of
water works. The case which brought
the question before the court was one
III which the payment of q tax for i'm
provements was contested because the
ordinance was passed at a special SEES
sion of the council. therefore Illegal.
Had the court decided in strict accord
ance with the law the amount of mis-
chief which would have resulted could
not be estimated. Every tax bill issued
ior public improvements of every kind
during the period affected would be
worthless. Property taken by the city
in condemnation proceedings could be
recovered by the original owners.
Franchises granted would be of no eff
feet IL legislative acts Of all kinds
passed at the illegal special sessions
would be as ineffective as If never
passed at all.

MISS poLLaRD's BABY.
Evidence to show That Col. Breck-
enridge Is Not Responsible.

DANvILLE, KY, Feb. 19.-Charles
Stoll. representing Col. breckenridge,
and E. p. Farrell, representing Miss
Pollard. took the deposition of DIR. t.
Lewis, OF this county, today in the Pol
lard Breckenridge suit. DR.. Lewis lives
five miles from this city, in the anne
neighborhoOd as Col. A. NJ. Swope, who
WAS internal revenue collector at Lex
ington, KY, under two administrations,
and who was one of the victims in the
famous Goodloe-Swope duel at L.eXing-
ton. DR.. Lewis testified that in Feb
ruary. 1885, Swope. by appointment. met
him In this city and asked him ii he
would perform an abortion upon u Miss
Pollard who used to live at Crab Or
chard. KY; that the young lady was in
a delicate condition, and that he, Col.
Swope, was responsible for 1t. DR..
Lewis said he declined to do this. and
that he advised him to let nature take
its course. Mr.. Swope left, and he
never saw HIN any more until that fall
when he met him at the old Swope
homestead in Lincoln county; then Mr..
Swope told him that the child had been
born aud was then in a good home. DR..
Lewis is a regular practitioner, and has
had considerable practice. The I'M
p%ortance Of this evidence may be
weighed with the allegations that the
baby said to have been born to Miss
Pollard in May, 1885, was charged to
Col. Breckenridge.
