An Incident Showing the Risk Attending

An Incident Showing the Risk Attending
the Use IF Liquor by Railroad Men.
This incident is sent to us by rail-
road surgeon and vouched for as cor
rect. An engineer who had been on
tho road twenty years was laid up with
lnnuenza two years ago. and since then
has drank spirits to excess at inter-
walls, especially at night. The super
fntendent paid no attention TO this and
permitted him to go on his usual daily
runs One day he came in to the end
OF his route very much intoxicated. ran
up to the yard, and left his engine in
the proper place, then staggered back
towards the depot muttering. The
train he brought in went on,
when suddenly he sprang on
q waiting engine and started down the
road after the train. The yardmaster
conceived this to be drunken freak,
and wired TO turn the switch of from
the main line at a distant station.
This was done just in time to avert
dashing into the rear of the passenger
train. The engine was ditched. and
the engineer escaped unhurt and was
taken to an asylum with acute mania.
where he is still confined. A very
serious accident was narrowly averted,
and the stupidity of permitting an
inebriate engineer TO run a train was
literally criminality of the most ia
grant type.-Journal of Inebriety.

TRADE REVIEW.
The Business Situation as Viewed by Dun's
Agency.


New YORK, March 4.-R. G.. Dun &
Co s weekly review OF trade says:
mo gold goes out, though sterling exchange
has risen close to the exporting point, and it
does not yet appear that the syndicate has
made any effort to control the exchange mar
Eet. The stock market waits ab1ectly for Lon
don, and foreigners show thus far more dis
position to sell than to buy. Withdrawals OF
gold by redemption of legal tenders have
not ceased, but since the closing OF the
syndicate contract have averaged about
$4,000 per day. There is no essential
change in the money market, though rates are
somewhat higher. Agricultural products are
n shade higher. but without any reason which
looks TO future operations. More people are
idle In the great industries than we're idle last
week, but not for reasons which distinctly ar
feet the future.
Wheat is rs cent higher, but clearly not
because western receipts are a trifie less than
year ago, nor because exports from the At
lantic coast arc small Spasms of speculative
activity must be expected during every season,
and when prices are at the bottom such
spasms can only mean an advance Nothing
is seen to justify any material rise. as sup
plies in sight do not decrease more than they
would naturally on account of bad weather.
Corn is only shade higher, with western re-
ceilys much smaller than last year. Cotton
dropped week ago to SIC cents. the lowest
point ever known since modern classificatons
were adopted. and has not vet risen, though
the talk of great reductions in acreage this
year is as vigorous ever The whole market
turns on the fact that the stocks of American
cotton here and abroad are considerably larger
lhan ever.
The industries make very slow ga ms where
they make any. Nothing new can he said Of
boots and shoes for the market is still unset
tied by the controversy about prices New
or,isrs are soanty and the main reason is that
lobeers have on the whole large stocks on
hand and are not now anxious 20 increase
them NJ higher prices. The demand for cot
ton goods is on the whole decidedly disap-
pointing. The demand for wooden goods OF the
better grade seems little better than has
been expected

lecture was delivered. All efforts to
have the ex-priest's permit to lecture

through the windows. The police or
dered tie crowd to disperse. but IL re-
fused to do SO. The riot alarm
was sent in, and soon eight
infantry companies and troop of dis
mounted cavalry were upon the scene.
BY this time the lecture was over. The
crowd on the outside numbered several
thousand. A portion of it kept yelling
and hurting bricks at the windows of
the hall. A few shots were fired in the
air by the rioters, but no one was
hurt. Peacemakers had no influence
with the crowd. The audience had to
be dismissed under military protection.

torrent of curses.
He had been aroused TO pitch of un-
controllable anger ,y the last words of
the direct examination of the last wit
ness called by the state. That witness
was George w. Jerks, the well-known
stock broker, and he declared without
hesitation or uncertainty that he had

the vacont lot at the corner of Henne-
pm avenue and kenwood boulevard at
about 1:20 the night that Catherine
ting met her death. The words fell
like blast from heaven upon the de.
Tense. Before Mr.. Erwin could reeov-
err himself. Harry Hayward, whose
arms had been twitching and his face
growing redder and redder as the wit-
ness proceeded in his account, burst
out in fierce denial when Mr.. jerks
had reached the climax and spoke Har-
RVS name.

Missed Harry, with an expression of
such fiendish rage that it is given TO
but few men to possess. All eyes were
into his chair saying not another
word, but carrying upon his counte-
nance such a look of indellible rage
that those who saw it will never forget
it. Throughout the remainder of
jerks testimony Harry never took his
eyes off him, continuing to glare at him
like wild ar imal that has received
death blow il cannot resent.
At noon there was another fearful
scene. Judge Smith had hardly left
the room when Harry turning to Erwin,

he expected TO conclude his evidence by
noon today. He desires TO examine

she has to return from Iowa. The
most exciting part of the day was when
Mr.. Erwin made the attempt to get in
expert testimony regarding the insanity
of Adry Hayward.
Judge Smith decided againt the adj
mission. A local physician was put on
the stand and stated that he was will
ing to testify that Adry was insane.
This was decided as not admissible.
The evidence of the day was mostly
confined to picking up shreds of testi-
mony, and fitting in confederation of
