The editor of the EUery EUen5ng

Transcript are not the best friends
in the world. They may claim they
are but it is not true. The Mindle-

editor on general principles and the
Wilmington editor hates the Middle
town editor because he knows few
things and can WELD a pungeat pen
which is capable of piercing the thick

twist and squeal and we did not quite

Handy himself told us that the

sluirmed for some weeks we do
not have any idea he will ever again
tempt "the louise" to jump on him.
Filth always attracts such animals, 81

our Wilmington friend will keep

the same filth is ever again allowed
to show itself along the backbone of

"DOwnham louise, and the next
time it comes it will have grown

be some squirting and squealing and

The Rev. DR.. Howard and the

There is not the least doubt of vice

not any easier than in other cities OF

nevertheless and if the police do not

FOILED THE OUTLAWS.
ATTEMPTED TRAIN ROBBERY Is
OkLAHONEA.
Cool Engineer Saved His Train
Score of Shots Fired.

ARDMORE, I. T., Feb. 11.-An un-
successful attempt was made to
hold up the north bound Gulf, Col
orado & Santa Fe passenger train
about 1:30 o'clock this morning at a
point on Hickory creek, in a desolate
region about two and a half miles
south of the little town of Over
brook. The train was the fast Kan
sas City through passenger and eX-
press known as No. 2, due here at 2
a. M, and was in charge of Con-
ductor Conlick. The railroad COM
ing station near the point where the
hold-up was attempted, and the rob-
bers evidently expected the train to
stop at the tank for water, as is
customary. AS the engineer was re
versing his engine to take water and
the train commenced to slow up, the
headlight revealed several suspi-
cious-looking characters on the track
ahead. He opened up and the train
fairly flew by the water station, and
from underbrush from either side of
the train was fired upon. AS near as
can be ascertained about fifteen
shots were fired in all into the pass
ing train.
Mos! of the bullets took effect in the
sleeper. Fortunately no one was hit by
the shower of bullets, although pas.
senger in the sleeper had most mirac-
ulous escape, his head being missed by
but few inches. The amount of treas
ure on board the train could not be as
certained. although it is known not to.
have been unusually large. Deputy
United States marshals were dispatched
to the spot. but as yet have no. clew as.
to who the robbers were. g :,

LA GAsCOGNE UNLUCKY.

tionaI Accidents Before.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Three times
previously La Gascogne figured in.
newspaper articles on account of ex-
citing circumstances. Sunday morning,
May %, 1890, while bound for Havre
with 444 souls aboard, she was procsed-
ing at reduced speed because of fog
which had for three days prevented
&ny reckoning. Capt. Santelli,who was
i'm command then, knew only that he
vas somewhere in the vicinity of the
Scilly Islands. He was himself upon
the bridge, where he had been for.
hours, peering anXiously into the fog
and keeping a sharp eye on the look
outs in the bow.
Suddenly the captain sprang to the
electric dial which communicated in
Structions to the engineers. So quick
was his movement that he almost
knocked a subordinate officer who was
in charge Of the signals off his feats
The captain had been the first of the
officers on the bridge to see signals OF
danger ahead, flashed by the forward
!ookouts, and with almost incredible
ders to reverse the engines; at the same
time he threw the ships helm hard
aport Right in front of the steamer,
and within stones throw of her tow
criHg prov, was a SIN II black rock, the
polished surface of which was but
few feet above the sea. Small as it
| was in comparison with the ships
! bulk, it, or a companion rock in the
| ledge it helped to form, had been the.
means of sending the steamer Schiller
| to the bottom several years before,
| drowning hundreds Of her passengers.
La Gascogre did not escape the almost
| hidden foe without injury. Her port
| side scraped the rock and a rent was
| made below the water line through
! which the sea poured in. The cargo
was shifted to starboard sufficiently to
admit of repairs. The hole fortunately
! was not large, and the ship after a few
hours delay was able to proceed slowly
| to Havre. Had the fog not lifted mo-
mentarily at the instant it did, the
| rock could not have been seen in time
| by the outlooks. The ledge is known
| as Bishops island. What agitated
Capt. Santelli more at the time than
| the narroWness of the escape was the
woeful miscalculations in his reckon
| ings, which he accounts to some un-
| known currents.
On Oct. 26, 1891, La Gascogne came
| into New York harbor salt-encrusted
| to the top of her tunnels. She had
| been in the teeth of a hurricane for
four days. On May 4, 1893, La Gas
cogne grounded on a shoal below the
southwest spit, but got off without as
sistance after six hours labor.

MAYOR EUSTIS FINISHES.
He Gives Pointers on the Insur-
nnce Papers.

Ex-Mayor Eustis, whose testimony
had not been finished when court ad-
journed Saturday afternoon, was the
first witness of the day. Mr.. Eustis
came into court a few minutes late,
! and had some difficulty in crowding his
way through the mass of humanity
that choked the aisles.
He testified that Hayward told him
everything in connection with the life
insurance policy, and had stated to him
that he had taken out insurance on his
own life in favor of Miss Cling. Hay
ward told him in order to have insur-
able interest he had taken an assign
ment of Miss Ging's policy.
Mr.. Erwin wanted the mayor to be
very sure about the words ''insurable
that he used these words in substance,
and continuing, said:
Harry told me about Miss Cling s
signing of the notes in the Oneida
block" He then gave Hayward's YER
sion of the transaction, which did not
differ from that given by the other wit
nesses to the note incident.
The witness was cross-examined by
John Day Smith.
did Mr.. Bartleson come there?"
Eyes, SIR
"What did he say?''
'I object" said Nye, "on the ground
that it is not proper cross-examina-
tion.''
Sustained" said the court, briefly.
eff it please the court" said Erwin,
1--WE wish to question the witness to
show that Mr.. Bartleson came there
and
"The court has sustained the objec-
ton, Mr.. Erwin" said the court, "and
you can take an exception"
With that Erwin made his formal ex-
ception, offering to prove by the fact
of Bartleson's effort to break into the
room and denounce the proceedings as
high-handed outrage; the fact was
that Harry was under practical arrest.
The witness was asked where he got
his authority to take the papers from
Harry in the loan and trust vault, but

as persons are wont to do when thelr
minds are suddenly relieved of a
heavy strain. For thirteen days of
a voyage lasting sixteen days the
ship had been disabled, one of her
main piston rods having broken on
her third day out from Havre. For
sixteen hours on that fateful third
day the vessel was hove to while the
break was being repaired. 1t was
comparatively good weather when
the break occurred, but the steamer
was doomed to run into some of the
nastiest of her voyage. When the
break had been repaired the steam
er proceeded on her way, but under
greatly reduced speed. When near
the banks of Newfoundland La Gas
cogne ran into a gale that increased
to hurricane force. While off Sable
island Feb. 5, the machinery broke
down again, and the steamer was
hove to again, this time
FOR FORTY-ONE HOURS.
During all this period the engines
did not make a single revolution.
When the second repairs had been
made the steamer started ahead
once more under still further re-
duced power, and headed towards
the Long Island coast. 1t is a re-
markable fact that during the en-
tire voyage across La Gascogne did
not sight a steamer until she passed
one bound for Philadelphia late on
Sunday. Late yesterday afternoon
the French steamer signaled Fire
Island, and then proceeded towards
Sandy Hook lightship.
While the passer gers were cOnsid-
erably worried on account of the de-
lay, there was never a panic among
them They knew their ship was a
staunch one, and they had every
confidence in their captain. And,
besides, they knew that the ship
was not totally disabled. But they
Were nervous and apprehensive at
times, and they hailed the conclu-
sion of their voyage with joy. They
cheered the captain and they cheered
the crew and they cheered the
World tug.

the passengers and thrown overheard
