TELMoEscER Of the telegraph operators
dream that bic mother was dead, and
the receipt Of a message late the same
night announcing her death, brings 10
mind a story Of a similar nature told 10
mo by former respected citizen Of
Wheeling. Doubtless others have heard
II, but have never seen 1t In print.
The essentials are quoted as follows:
"Aiter bis return from the war my
son Harry located in Indiana, aud was
employed aS yardmaster on o railroad
In tho town OF L. He was q steady, In
dustrious man and was getting along
nicely. One night retired rather early,
leaving my vito reading. After lying
quiet, but without sleeping. for some
time, / saw a vision Of my sons death,
and 90 strongly was II impressed on my
mind that / said to my wife: Our son
Harry 10 dead; he was killed to-day In
tho railroad yard
Nonsense, said my vile, .you haye
been dreaming No, have not even
been asleep, ! replied, but Harry Is
dead, and we will get a message telling
10 Of tho accident l haYe distinctly
seen two men working In a field near
the railroad, and two loose horses came
running toward them. with heads and
tails erect, and evidently endeayoring
TO draw their attention TO something.
Tho men, interpreting their meaning.
concluded to follow the horses, which
led them TO the railroad yard, and there
wero found tho manglcd romans OF our
son Harry. who had been run over by
an engine
"My wife called this talk silly, and
urged mo 10 sleep, but so firmly did
this vision impress my mind that l
could not sleep. About o'clock came
a sudden rap on our door. | at once
said 10 my vito: That Is a message an-
nouncing Harry's death !; and on going
10 the door there stood the MESSENGER
With message from L. which road:
Your son was run over and killed BY
an engine in the yard here to-day"
These are the facts as related to me
by man whom / believe TO be per-
iectly honest. Such facts are not rare.
Are they coincidents, merely2 or is
there some as yet not understood meana

wo once more write, after having passed
successfully through the second week Of
our trip. This week We played four
games, losing one to the Real Estates,
tho crack team OF New Philadelphia, by
tho close score 8 to 7, and winning tho
other three, ono from Freeport, the
other two from the Real Estates. The
last named team has twice defeated the
Twin Cities, OF Dominion. There hasn't
been game played on our trip without
some member Of the team making q
homo run. We have played ten games
since we loft Martins Ferry and have
made twenty.nine home runs. We
claim the bost home run record OF the
season. ..
"The manager and the people hero say
We have the strongest team that ever
played on their grounds. Tho coaching
Of our bows catches the crowd. During
tho past week several OF our members
have been injured. Miller, who caught
every game up till Monday, had his
hand split In tho sixth inning and has
been on tho bench ever since. His
place is filled by Prince, who Is putting
up a great game. Keane was spiked in
Yesterdays game, as was Troy In Fri.
davis game, but both are playing.
Browns arm was hurt in sliding, but no
Is still on duty. Padden's playing tho
past four games has been very sensa-
tional. His hitting yesterday was ter
rife, single, a thrce Dagger and home
run. Out Of six times at bat Troy made
five hits, ono a three Dagger. Purcell
Is playing steady game at short, while

tion will DO filled by Miller, Prince and
