Employees and officials of the New
Central Railroad at the investigation
which was pursued by the Board of
Railroad commissioners last week to
ascertain the causes of the disastrous
wreck at Garrison's on October oath
in which so many lives were lost, ad-
vanced an entirely new theory, which
was to the effect that Instructions had
been placed on the track purposely to
wreck the train. Testimony from sew
eral experts were to the effect that
water coming down the mountain side
and lodging in the gully to the east of
the traces was not sufficient to weaken
the bed. William Buchanan superin-
tendant of motive power, stated his
theory by testifying that he found an
indentation on the tire of the forward
wheel on the right side of the engine
truck, which in his opinion was caused
by the wheel while revolving coming
in contact with some obstruction on
the side of the rail, the tire of the
wheel was exhibited as were plaster
casts of the indentation, which, how
ever were plainly visible on the tire.
P. H. Dudley, in his explanation as to
the fracture of the inner rail Of the
track, said that the simple derail-
ment of the engine and train, would not
have tore off the nuts, but that they
had evidently been tampered with and
knocked off previous to the wreck, AT
the corners inquest recently held, al
to the cause Of the accident and tc
who to blame, the jury gave the yer.
dict that the railroad was in no way
responsible, and that the cause is un'
known.

TO MY OLD FRIENDS.

Old friends Of days and years gone by
Accept this friendly token,

True words as ever spoken.
Why do we on this earth remain,
With little left but sorrow.
Old friends have gone, companions gone,
Our time is what we borrow.
In youthful days hope swelled our sail.
And passion marked the way
Over the rugged hills Of life.
And strewed our heads grey.
Our shadows lengthen as the sun.
And evening hours doth pass.
Wen heed the words of Israels King.

To wear the golden crown.
May loves glad sunshine gild our path.

OBITUARY..

Mrs. Hamilton b. Fisher died on the
18th day of November 1897, at her
home in Wellington, Ohio. Death
came suddenly but not Unexpectedly
to her. The deceased, Annetta Tillot-
son Fisher was daughter of Ira and
Sqbrina Tillotson and was born in Can
andagua, N. Y, in the year of 1889.
She came to Ohio with her parents
when she was three years of age and
lived in her fathers family at Elyria,
Ohio, until she was nineteen years of
age, and at which age she was married
to Henry F. Porter in Daconia, Iowa.
Her first great crushing sorrow came
to the young wife early. Within one
year after her marriage she became a
widow, and she with her young child
returned to her Ohio home. Mrs.
Fisher afterward became the wife of
Perry Laborie of Huntington, Lorain
county, Ohio. Death came again in
very brief time, and her husband was
taken from her, and she with her
young daughter were again alone in
the world.
The deceased and her husband,
Hamilton B. Fisher were united in
marriage on the oath day of March,
1852, and together these two performed
life's work until her life went out and
now her husband in loneliness and
weakness bears his burden alone
Their only daughter, Edith Fisher Os-
born died on the 4th day of October,
1878. Mrs. Fisher was a woman that
had experienced deep sorrow. She
was however, sustained in her bereav
ements by Him who has has promised
to be the God of the Fatherless and of
the widow, and she felt that under
meath her were the Everlasting arms
of the loving Father.
Her husband and herself were con-
verted in Bedford, Mich, and at
once united themselves with the
Congregational church at that place,
and as from time to time they made a
new home, they also found their
church home with the same people.
They became members of the Congre-
gational church in this place in the
spring of 1873, and she retained her
membership therein until her de ath.
Mrs. Fisher was kind and sympa-
thizing friend with true wifely devo-
ton. She cared for and administered
to her husband, from the time of his
severe affliction in July last to the
hour of her death. And now, he, and
his two sons, to whom she had
given a mothers care, with her
remaining daughter, Mrs. M. M. Joyce
deeply mourn their loss. She has
gone to the loved ones on the other
shore.
BLESSED are the dead that die in
the Lord, from henceforth, yea saith
the spirit, that they may rest from
their labors, and the work do follow
them"
The family desire to extend their
thanks to all the friends who have SC
kindly assisted them in their hour OF
affliction and sorrow.

MILES OF CHIMNEY.

So it is that the chimneys of the dwell
lings of those who live under the cable
road find vent in the middle OF the
street, without anybody knowing 1t.
Then there is the long hall beneath the
curve at Fifty third street.
The entrance to that is by means OF
a narrow ladder You may have noticed
a railing surrounding an open nanhole
at Fifty-second street, between the cable
car tracks. That is the entrance to an
underground Hall of karnak. By creep
ing down the ladder you find yourself in
along passage hall, supported on either
side by pillars covered with glistening
wbitewash. The cables run on either
side of the labyrinthan passage. The
hall curves as you walk along it, and the
cables disappear in openings at the top
of q blank and whitewashed wall
There are twenty of these cable curves
which are inhabited You pass over
many workshops of men on your journey

WAKEFULNESS IN SLEEP.
From Sleep, Its Physiology. &c., Marie
de Manaceine.)
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.J


On going to bed man recalled that he
must rise the next day at s, at the same
time forgetting that his clock was half
an hour fast. In the middle of the night
he awoke, and, on looking at his clock,
remembered that it was half an hour
fast, and that consequently he must wake
not when the clock struck eight, but
half an hour later. He then fell into a
sound slumber until he felt himself dis
turbed by some unknown cause. He
started up with the dread that he had
awakened too late, but, looking at his
clock, he saw that it pointed EXACTLY to
half past eight. Thus in spite of deep
sleep, the sleeper's attention not only
followed the course of time, hut even cor
rected the error of the clock, the man
sleeping soundly while the clock struck
eight and !awaking when the hand si-
lently pointed to the half hour.

BENE ATH RUMBLING TRUCKS.


The sheave it is which we are now
stand is beneath Seventh avenue, just In
front of theEpower house. 1t is in the
place where the conductors call, This
car for Columbus avenue Change for
Seventh avenue" The Broadway and
Columbu avenue cars are rumbling over
our heads.
The sheave pit tender is standing by the
whirling wheel ready to act the moment
anything goes wrong. Ii one of those
wheels should break force Of worklnen
would be IN the pit within minute.
The cables would cease from whirling on
the instant.
The pit is mainly lighted by narrow
window, tho cable slot. There is a zone
of clear white light and then the shadow.
Every few seconds a shutter closes over
the window. An oblong object passes
over our heads and whirling sound
com es from above. The electric lights
shine the brighter. Another cable car
has passed That one went up toward
Columbus avenue. A peculiar clicking
sound, movement of lever, shows that
the car was bound for the Fifty third
street curve. Thousands of passengers
pass over the silent watcher in the sheave
pit every day. Only the measured click
of the lever tells him which way the
travellers are bound. The cars which
come speeding over the sheave pit have
dropped the cable which bore them to
Fiftieth street and are carried by their
own momentum over the gap where the
tube beneath the tracks is silent. The
sheave pit tender mods to us as we start
for the tunnel door. He is sitting in
chair to get moments rest. He sits
little closer TO the stove, for it is little
cold in the sheaye pit these December
days.

DROP INTO THE PARLoR.

The most comfortable place in the
country of the cable gnomes is the par
lor," the home of the gypsy tender at
Fifty second street. The front door of
the parlor is not ornamental. Mr.. Green
valid, the track master of the cable road.
who was my guide, said that we would
just "drop into the parlof to say howdy-
do" The man who finally gets into the
parlor of the Fifty second street gypsy
tender is lucky if he does not go head
first. Near the track there is grating
The track master lifted the grating.
There was a dark hole, with ladder
leading down to place seemed bottom
less pit
The parIor is really q very comfortable
place, though, when you get down into
it. 1t is full of wheels and purring
cables, to be sure, yet there is room for a
man to get about very comfortably
Back from the whirling machinery is a
cosey nook. The man who watches the
wheels down there is a favored mortal.
He came to greet us with smile and
babe us be seated. There were two chairs
and q soap box. The rest Of the furni-
ture consisted of a desk, stove, a clothes
press, bit of carpet and curtain to keep
the draught away from the man when he
wished to do little writing. On the
wall were photographs of actresses and
singers. A framed picture was suspended
from a spike driven into the wall. A
bright fire was glowing in the stove. The
stovepipe assembled almost to the slot,
turned to the right and seemed to disap-
pear.
''Where is your chimney2' asked.
''We have a chimney about three miles
long," said the gypsy tender. ''The
smoke passes into the tube where the
cable is placed. The draught there is equal
to that of blast furnace. You never see
the smoke coming up through the slot
because it mixes with the air SO quick
