Sightseeing.

Ed. Register-It vas decided that
we should go up to the Union Station.
as Charley wanted to inquire about
the big steam shovel and get orders
who own the shovel. and the repair
shops where the cara on all OF the
many roads, that terminate at the
Union Station are repaired.
When we reached the great iron
bridge that spans the valley with its
net work of tracks, we stood on the
bridge and watched the trains coming
in from every direction, bringing car,
after car filed to its utmost capacity,
with men. women and children from
all parts OF the world, coming to see
the sights. AS we stood and watched
those long trains / wondered how any
body knew which road they were to
take and how anybody could hinder q
smash up. asked Charley how any
body knew which track to take. He
said, "do you see that high tower
down yonder? There's man up in
that tower. whose eyes see every ia
coming train, and he holds the key to
all of the roads and gives the signal to
every switehman. II is just like CLOCK
work that train moves without an
order from the head man in that
tower"
Alter we had stood and watched
train after train come 10 and taken a
good look at the great iron bridge We
we're standing on. which is second on
Ily to the great Eads' bridge, we walk
ed over TO the Union Station-the

atmosphere is dry and invigorating.
1t is in the midst of mountains, having
the Alleghenies and Blue Ridge on the
south and southwest, and the Cumber-

northeast and northwest, many of their
peaks seemingly piercing the skies,

with brick business blocks. On all
sides of these lie the residence part of
the town built on the undulatiDg and

lot having seventy-tive foot frontage.
Near the centre of the city rises the

a vast plateau to the distant peaks of
the New Found range and the majestic

the city Town Mountain rises some
hundred feet above the city, its base
reaching almost within stones throw

On Thursday afternoon, Chief Van
Solver and policeman Cummings were
carrying large scene, representing the
front OF brick house, out Church street
towards the Truck house. AS they turn
ed into Church street, the chief on the
lead, had occasion to sit down on account
Of the slippy condition of the sidewalk.
He did not sit down as an ordinary per-
son would who was not in hurry, but
instead did it with q quick motion by
throwing his feet out and up In front.
There is no record OF what he said about
Fen. Pew leaving his pavement in such
bad condition or suing the city for dam
age. It takes a right smart joke to make
officer Cummings laugh, but no did laugh
when he saw the chief trying to execute
one of those spread-eagle pirouettes on
exhibition in Gandey's window on Bridge
street, such as those who use Barney &,
Bailey skates are supposed to do. The
chief did not laugh but he picked up his
end of the scene and walked off partly on
limp and partly as IL there were eggs all
over the pavement and he was afrail OF
stepping on them.
