THAT depends entirely upon the Gov

be so complete that any engineer can go
on with the work without my assis-
tance. If the Government wishes me
to superintend it, | would probably

CAUSED BY DYNAMITE.
President Depew's Startling Theory OF
the Wreck at GarrIsons.

=
the Wreck at GarrIsons.
New York, Oct. 27.-Only less startling
than the direful news of the disaster on
the New York Central road at Garri-
snns was the statement made by Chaun-
cey M. Depew last night that the so
called accident was no accident at all,
but the direct result of a malignant
crime.
1t was no landslide, said DR.. Depew
after he and his experts had examined
the locomotive, dragged by ponderous
derricks from its bed of mud. 1t was
no sloughing of a bit OF rotten road
bed that caused this terrible calamity.
1t was the direct result of an explo-
sion of dynamite, placed on the track
solely to send train to destruction and
its inmates to sudden death.
Coming with the weight of President
Depew's name and reputation, this
statement will be received with respect
and most thoroughly investigated.
1T is very singular" DIR. Depew said,
but am informed by one of our de-
tectives that Chief Humphreys has al
ready received positive information
tending TO make good my assertion.
backed by the physical evidence, that
this break was made by dynamite. He
Is working hard on the information Civ
en-, and am assured he is on the road
to information which will throw great
deal of light on the subject. The road
has been blown up. That is a certain
ty. and our detectives have definite and
positive clews to work on"
In this connection 1t Is worthy of re-
membrance that the express car of the
i'll fated train had S400 900 worth of
money and jewels In its safe. There was
rumor that a large part of this treas
ure was gold from the Klondike on its
way to the treasure vaults in this CITY.
II this be true, IL is possible some west
ern desperadoes had hatched out a plan
Of robbery after wrecking the train.

There was q certain popularity in his

You could not be anything but kind. One

not discontinue my visits to Mrs. Du-

"Disagreeable? How should it be:'
she said, almost Indignantly. Then she
blushed and said, ''You are very consid-
crate. Very few people would be so good.
You are thinking of my comfort. not of
your own"
His anxiety to save her from remark
or annoyance led him to mask his emo
ton under an appearance of immovable
quietude. He did rot quit the party. as
he would gladly have done. neither did he
absolutely avoid contact and speech with
Anne. She seconded him to the best of
her ability. but she could not be perfectly

were glad and relieved when the party
broke up and rode back to Ramleh under

He Deserved the Medal,

The Mayor of New York lately
awarded a medal to William III. Behler.
a fireman of that city. for his bravery
in rescuing Il wOman from a burning
house. From the recount of the affair
given by the New York Herald, the
medal was well deserved.
The fire was in a tenement house
occupied by Italian families, and was
well under way when the firemen ar
rived. Italians We're rushing out. and
presently the cry went up that n wom-
an and child had been left in one of the
rooms. A minute more, and the mi
appeared at a window with the baby IN
her arms.
The Italians in the street dropped on
their knees to pray. No ladder was Mt
hand, and every instant was precious.
Behler meantime had entered the next
house, and now made his appearance
at a four-story window on a level with
that at which the woman was standing.
She by this time was shrieking and
making ready to jump. The crowd
shouted to her to hold OH. and then fell
to cheering Behler, as it was seen that
he meant to attempt a rescue.
With another man holding his legs,
he swung himself far out of the WIN
dow, took the child from its mother,
and passed it to his companion. Now
came a work much more difficult and
perilous. The woman was heavy, but
Behler's nerve did not fail him. Put
| ting himself into the best position posi-
BILE, he ordered her to swing toward
him. This she did, and he caught her
and SO drew her into the window. IL
he had overbalanced himself the result
would have been death for both Of
them.

Billiards. delightful billiards. at once
the most fascinating and most health

No weak-lunged consumptive ever
needed the invigorating effects of Pro-
fessor Koch's lymph more than this
sport requires new life injected into it.
Those who remember the history of
billiards in this country during the last
thirty years view its rapid decline with
sincere regret. They think of the old
days when enormous siX-pocket pla-
tenus were used. and the transition
from them to the beautiful and elegant
carom tables now in use, with cushions
and bed that have been improved to
perfection, and wonder how the sport
can decline. They remember the days
when Dudley Kavanagh and Michael
Thelan i'll their contest for champion
ship used four balls. and later. when

came so expert with the four worries:

simply an endless chain. Once set in

the tireless regularity of the clock.
To check these artists and to add
greater interest to the game. the eight
inch balk line was introduced. 1t was
thought that this would prevent the
railroading of the balls UP and down
the cushion by the hour. but it failed
to accomplish the object. The balk
line was increased from time to time.
until now Il fourteen-inch line is used.
And when Mr.. Ives is after the balls II
