LOOKING FOR BURGLARS.
Experience of n Man With a Loaded Re-
voiYer In a CnaIhOuse.

/
A prominent north slider some
time ago read an article about the
thrilling midnight adventures of a
well known south slider with bur-
glar in the coalhouse.
1t often happened that it became
necessary for this gentleman to go
out in the coalhouse in the middle
of the night He decided that if he
ran across a burglar he would not
be caught unarmed, so he purchased
nice, shiny revolver.
The night after making the pur-
chase he came home very late and
found that there was no coal in the
house. This was the very chance he
wanted; he would go out and get
some coal, and if there was a coal
thief in the coalhouse he would show
him how he could shoot.
Aiming himself with the revolver
and coal scuttle, he started for the
coalhouse. Before descending the
back steps he was particular. to cock
the pistol. Holding it carefully out
at arms length, he started across
the yard and arrived safely at the
coalhouse. When within few feet
of the door, he dropped the scuttle
and coughed loudly in order to give
the thief, if there was one, a chance
to run for hi$slife, not Wishing to
murder man in cold blood.
He was rather disappointed not to
SEQ large man rush from the coal
house; but, nevertheless, he went
In and began to feel around for the
shovel with his foot. Not finding it,
he made some remarks that would
not look well in print, laid the pis-
tol on the ground and began to pick
up Jumps of coal.
In his efforts to find pieces of the
desired size he entirely forgot the
pistol and accidentally stepped on it.
There was a loud report. The daring
hero gave one wild yell and made a
rush for tho door. But he was not
destined to escape so easily. His
foot became entangled in an old bed
spring that the good housewife had
discarded. He imagined that he had
run over burglar and that the bur-
glar had caught him by the foot.
The noise made by the spring was
to his excited mind the burglar grit
ting his teeth.
When by desperate efforts he
had navigated to the middle of tho
yard, he tripped and fell Then be-
gan a fight for life. The man rolled
over and over, but the spring always
came on top.
Finally he became so tangled up
that it was impossible to move.
During the battle two small fruit
trees were torn up, chicken coop
was completely demolished and the
we'll curb loosened. tits said that it
took policeman, two plumbers and
the entire fire department to get
them untangled.-Atlanta Constitu-

VA. IN BLACK DiAMCN CS.
OF the Thousands Of Tons Of C~ns at
Peril, and south Amboy.


Thousands OF tons Of coal are slibped
from the ports of Perth and South Am
boy, vt the mouth of the Raritan river
every month. 1t is loaded in vessels TO.
sll points along the Atlantic seaboart
and many European ports. The Goa
docks of the Leligh Valley railroad g.
Perth Amboy are among the largest u
the world. The docks uf the Pcnnsyl
vania railroad at South Amboy art
nearly rs large in shipping capacity.
In connection with the handling CT
such immense quantities of coal one Of
the most troublesome problems for the
railroad companies is to keep their roll
ing stock in constant motion. 1t is con-
sidcrcd Il loss of revenue .. q car 20 re-
ciain several days at a given point, and
everything is done to facilitate the RAPID
movement of the cars, 10th loaded a,pl
empty. For II number of years loadeG
cars were kept standing i'll tho storage
yards of the Pennsylvania railroad at
South AIlboy for weeks at a time. At
times the company was embarrassed for
want Cf cars to transport the coal from
the miIes. The difficulty was finally
solved about three years ago. In place
cf the long string of loaded cars may
now DO seen immense piles of coal.
When u train arrives from the mines,
tho various kinds Of coal are sNrted out
and the cars drilled to the proper side
track for unloading. In close proximity
to each side track stands q large derrick
with II movable boom extending diacon.
ally into the air about so feet. To this
boom is attached "A large travelling belt,
on which are fastened large buckets. The
belt Is operated by u small steam engine
in charge of the man who manipulates
ihc elevator. AS the coal drops from tho
outlet in tho car it falls into tho buckets
on tho elevator belt and is carried to the
end of tho swinging boom, where it is
droprcd iutho center of the pile and dis
tribu,ed By gravity. The coal remains il
these piles until it is required for ship
mont then it is loaded in cars and trans.
ferTCd To the docks.
Tho immense piles of coal usually
contain from 10, 900 to IL, coo tons each,
and arc worth from so, 900 to $50, 600,
according To the market value OF the
coal. 1t is frequently the case that there
Gro II OF these piles Of coal in the stor.
age yard. representing Il value of from
5000, 600 to 5000, 900. 1t was discovered
recently that the coal rusted while in
these piles. This did not detract from
the burning qualities, but affected the
selling value. To prevent this canvas
covers were mado at II cost Of IL, 000
each. When tho piles Of coal arc al
covered, the storage yard resembles d
large circus. The sight Of such an i'm
mense quantity of coal is viewed with
establishment by strangers, although the
residents of South Amboy are SO accus'
toned to it that they never give it u SEQ
ond thought.-Ncw York Telegram.

A Wiro Walking Rat.

At tho corner Of Market and Broad
streets, Newark, N. j., there is n thick
network Of telegraph wires and tele-
phone cables. Late one afternoon the
,oiterers about the corner witnessed u
curious incident. From the roof of tho
Firemcn's insurance building u cable
wire extends across Market street to the
Postal Telegraph Office.
a rat was seen on the wire over the
insurance building. He moved slowly
along the wire, and by the time he had
reached the middle Of the street he had
a crowd below him that would have de,
lighted the heart Of Blondin. He paid
no attention to the upturned faces, bat
continued slowly but surely ON his way
until he reached the Postal Telegraph

roof and disappeared. - Philadelphia

WORKING FOR PAY.
Are We Making Progress Towsrd EQuaii-
u Of Opportunity


Taking the whole number Of persons
engaged In all remunerStive or gainful
occupations, / find that in 1860 such
persons constituted 30. 10 per cent Of the
whole population. In 1870 this percent
age had increased to SO. 43, in 1880 to
81. 88, while in 1890 il was 36. 81, an
increase OF more thar 10 per cent, rela.
lively, in one generation, the period
from 1860 to 1890. This. it should be
borne in mind, is tho percentage Of the
total number Of persons engaged in
gainfnl occupations Of the total popula.
ton II we examine now the percent.
ago which this total number If persons
engaged in all gainful occupations is Of
the persons 10 years OF age and over,
which is the truer comparison, we find
that tho increase has been as regular,
but q little greater, for in 1860 il was
35. 70 and in 1890 AZ. 9j, an increase Of
over IL per cent, relatively, in the 80
years named. This fact alone, it seems
TO me, answers c~onclusively and def
nitely the question we are considering. If
the total number Of persons engaged in
gainful occupations stood still relative
to the population, the argument would
not be SO clearly carried, but with a
constant and persistent increase in the
relative proportions Of this class of peo-
pie to the whole number Of population.
and to the whole lumber 10 years Of
ago and over, there can be no other an
swer than an affirmative one.
