Rapid Transit I'm Philadelphia.

From the Philadelphia Record.
A very unusual and amusing circum-
stance-amusing. that is, to all but the
principal actor-occasioned a block on the
Wayne avenue trolley line, Germantown,
above Wayne junction, one day recently.
The motorman on one of the cars of that
line, who had been holding his hand to his
jaw in a peculiar fashion for several min
utes while his car sped along suddenly
turned off the motive power and signaled
to the conductor that he would like to talk
to him. There was brief conference, and
then the motorman jumped off his car and
ran around the corner and disappeared.
The conductor jumped down into the street,
and stood Shaping his arms across his
chest
Several more cars came up and stopped
behind the first. The motormen and con-
ductors deserted their posts and gathered
around the first conductor. He said some
thing to them and they all laughed. The
passengers began to think that another
strike had been declared. But after time
the motorman came back with look of
relief upon his countenance. well, / got
it out!' he yelled to the conductor, but she
hurt bit. you bet" and he held up huge
nlolar, which the dentist had pulled from
lis jaw. Then the cars went on.

The Latest Trick in Horse Trading.

From the Philadelphia Record.
There are tricks in all trades, but horse
trades appear to have more than their
share. The proprietor Of an uptown hotel
in this city patronized largely by agricul-
turists was very anxious to sell a horse to
a friend from the country, but the latter
had some doubt as to the animals speed
The two agreed upon a certain day for a
drive in the park, and in the mean time the
hotel man had not been idle They were
bowling along at pace which was scarcely
calculated to create any great excitement,
when a park guard, who had previously
been fixed" arrested the owner of the
horse for driving faster than the allowed
three-minute gait. He willingly paid his
fine Of IS, and his companion was so i'm
pressed by the occurrence that he imme-
diately purchased the horse,

Shortly after nine o'clock this morning the
fire department was called to the Ferguson
theatre building at the corner of Main and
Oak streets. The alarm was caused by smoke
issuing from the Oak street brick wall of
that portion of the building occupied by
Woods Business College. After making an
investigation the firemen left the place, sat
isfied that there was no danger, but were in
no pleasant frame Of mind, as they say they
have been given several fruitless runs to the
building on account Of the same trouble.
The chimney on the Oak street side of the
building is evidently in defective condition
and allows the smoke to escape so that it
makes its way into the halls of the building
and through the brick walls. The smoke
does not escape in sufficient quantities to
cause the occupants of the building any
great inconvenience, however, but it is a case
that the hue committee of the Borough
Council should investigate and cause repairs

The rIiniSter Was Game.

| They were sitting in the smoking car
of a local accommodation train the
other day; three or four farmers, sew
eral trainmen and a quiet, mild-man-
nered man, whose dress indicated that
he was a minister Several topics were
discussed including the status of the
senatorial race, the prospects of the
GraZiani bill passing, whether or not
| this years fruit crop would be failure,
and that never failing and always con-
venient topic, the weather.
Finally the talk turned to deeds of
physical courage and just how much
pain a man could stand without finch
ing. Each related some incident, telling
of the bravery of either himself or some
| friend. and finally some one asked the
minister what deeds of prowess he had
ever performed.
None" was the reply, but often it
is not the bravest man who performs
great deeds. 1t is often harder to con-
troll oneself than to bear physical pain"
The crowd smiled, a cynical, sarcastic
smile. and finally some one ventured the
remark in an undertone that one could
not expect any more from a preacher,
and then they all laughed.
ed for his ears the minister heard it,
and, Strengthening up, said to the man
who had spoken:
'Sir, you have insulted me and my
profession. Now to show you that
am as game a man as any one Of you
and that I can stand as much physical
pain as the next man, I propose that
you and / make a test Of physical en-
durance right here"
What kind of trial?" interrupted the
man.
We'll" continued the minister, 'it is
rather undignified in me, but If you con-
sent will make it that you and 1 stick
pins into our right legs until one of US
cries enough
The man turned pale. Hejwas game,
but he knew full well that q contest of
| that kind was apt to lay either con-
testant up for several weeks. So he
argued that a contest Of this kind was
| impossible The minister insisted; he
would have that or none, and if the
man backed down he would tacitly ad
nit in the presence of all in the car
| that he was a coward.
While they had been talking the train
was rapidly approaching town, and
all at once the brakeman yelled: "Shel-
byvillei"
This is my station. l must get off
here" exclaimed the man who had
challenged the minister, and amid the
smiles of the crowd he left the train.
| By-and-by one of the men approached
| the preacher and said:
| You're a game man and a good one,
too. I'm no coward, but l wouldn't do
what you wanted to do"
You would not be afraid If you were

HeroiSm at Sea.

sadder tale of the sea, and a finer
tale of true heroism, has hardly ever
been told than that which comes to-day
from Boulogne. Yesterday mornings
gale wrecked a French fishing smack
just outside the port, III front of the I'm
perial Hotel. The life-boat was soon
near the men, who had taken refuge in
the rigging. High up a young appren-
tice clung in wild despair to the top of
the mast, and his eight companions re-
fused to go into the life-boat before the
lad. But before they had helped him
down a wave broke over the life-boat,
it was forced under the bow OF the
smack, and though it righted itself
presently it had been severed from the
wreck and was terribly damaged Not
withstanding this, the injured Captain
and his crew fought the storm for an
other hour in their effort to reach the
men. Alas their heroism was fruitless
the smack broke in two, and the eigh.
men, and the boy for whom they had
missed their chance of entering the
Hfe-boat, were swallowed up by the sea
close to their Observation-Disclosures Ca

TOOK MORPHINE.
Hazel Montgomery Makes Muss at
the Police Station.

Assistant City Physician Ogden, after
laboring for two hours last night over
the writhing, insensble form OF Hazel
Montgomery, succeeded in restoring her
to consciousness and saving her lie.
Whether or not the result will prove OF
benefit either to Hazel or anyone else
remains to be seen.
The woman was taken to the police
station about 8 o'clock on charge or
being drunk, and was placed In the
women's cell upstairs. About IL O'Clock
Sergeant Plunkett, who went on duty at
1O, heard a racket on the upper hoor,
and on investigating found the woman
in convulsions.
DR.. Ogden was called and he soon dis
covered that the unfortunate girl was
suffering from morphine poisoning.
After an hours efforts to restore her to
consciousness he was ready to admit
that she was beyond relief, but a little
later she came out of her stupor and at
last accounts was pronounced free from
danger
It is supposed she took the drug her
self in a moment of dependency and
inebriety. When taken in she claimed
that some one had stolen $40 from her.
