Railway Incident.

Prof. Lincoln, of Brown University
who died few years ago, used often
to relate with glee a railroad adventure
which he had in Germany during his
last European tour The party was
travelling in one of the little German
railway carriages with the doors at the
sides when the train stopped at a sta.
ton where there was a restaurant.
They were told that the train would
wait few minutes, and so, with Amer.
lean independence, Prof. Lincoln and an
other member of the party stepped out,
crossed another track, and proceeded to
the station.
This infractlon of German regula-
lions was at first unnoticed, but on the
return an obstacle was found in the
shape of another train between them
and their car.
The various railway persona es ap-
peared stolidly ignorant as to time
tables. The train was too long to go
around; the cars were unprovided with
our convenient end platforms and steps.
and the space beneath them was none

one course remained-that was to go
over the train.
This seemed simple matter. as the
German cars are very small affairs
compared with our own, and moreover
are provided with a convenient ladder
on each side for the use of the man who
climbs up and puts the lamps down
through hole in the roof.
Accordingly the start was made. and
the feat was about half-accomplished
before 1t was noticed by the railway
officials. Then began a great commo.
ton, with violent gesticulations and
commands to come down.
But by dint of Prof. Lincoln's yocif-

Not Injured by High Voltage Wires.
An experiment to ascertain whether
high pressure alternating current can
be sent from conductor to earth by
means of jet of water from a hose of
fire engine, and also whether the cur
rent can be transmitted to the fireman
under such circumstances, was made
short time ago by Professor Slaty, of
Berlin. The overhead conductors of a
10000 volt power transmission line
were used for the experiment. A volt
meter was connected between the metal
mouth-piece of the water hose and the
earth. On turning the water on to the
live conductors no flow Of current to
earth was noticeable.

Apropos of the shipment OF the last
of the three electric locomotives for the

hour has been attained without effort,
and that they could as easily make $50

to return to her home on an early train,
the gathering met and dispersed at an
early hour, but the time was most de-
lightfully passed in pleasant conversa-
tion and in listening to a number of beau
tiful vocal solos. selections from the op-
ras Queen of Sheba," Carmen" ne ten

by one of the most finished artists who
has ever been heard in Deer Lodge.
Madam, Beraud Is from Paris, France
whence she came In October last to join
her husband at Anaconda, who occupies
the responsible position of assistant su-
perintendent of the refinery. She is
graduate of the Paris conservatory and
studied voice culture under Emanuel

Deer Lodge, April 24.-The suit OF
Maurice Harris against the L. Man.
helm Dry Goods company, was heard
before jury in the district court yes
terday. The plaintiff in this action al
legged that he was employed by the de-
1endant as general salesman with the
verbal understanding that IT would be
for period OF one year, at a stipula-
ted salary of SIPS per month, and that
at the end of two months he was dis
charged from the employ of the de-
fendant, in total disregard of the YER
bal contract existing between them
For this alleged breach of contract the
plaintiff sued the defendant for 1875
damages. After the plaintiffs wit
nesses had given their testimony, r.
O'Leary, counsel for the Mannheim Dry
Goods company, moved the court for a
non-suit on the grounds that no con-
tract had been proved. The court sus-
tained the motion and the case was dis
missed at the cost of the plaintiff
The contention over the waters of
Jake creek, which has been I'm the

The verdict established the right OF the

the same at the times specified.
Two hoboes engaged in a handto-

the ground in stream. Their drunk

them from infiicting more serious in
