To Reissue Excess Checks.

Shortly after the war revenue law
went into effect, both the P. & R.
and Penna. Railroads discontinued
the issuance of excess checks to all
passengers who purchased their tickets
from the conductor, as under ruling
of the Internal Revenue Department,
it was compulsory to affix a-cent
stamp on all checks of this nature is
sued. The matter was carried to the
United States Attorney General, and
he recently decided that no stamp
was necessary on these checks. The
railroad companies mentioned above
have been notified of this decision,
and they in turn have notified their
conductors to resume the collection of
10 cents excess and to issue as before
an excess check.

He listened, laying his ear to the rail;
it was coming in the rear He quick
ened his steps-he ran--ran as rapidly
rs he dared for fear of a misstcp which
would hinder instead of advance his
ends.
Now the roar comes nearer; he can
imagine the train as it is tearing
along, carrying death to him. He
thinks each individual hair is stand
ing on end. The sweat pours down his
face, end still shis darkness, still this
louder roar of the engine rs it comes
steadily nearer and nearer, and his
strength is nearly exhausted.
AT last n CLEAN of light greets him
at the farther end of the tunnel. Oh,
what hope 1t inspires! He thinks Of
the races he has won at college, and
determines to take n fresh start. Yes,
he will run as If running II race, and
forget the huge monster behind him,
which seems to paralyze his limbs and
prevent all motion: he will run, run
If he does not! He thinks of Lula, his
sweetheart, hfs wife that was to have
been. Shall he ever see her again?
The light ahead grows more and
more distinct, but his breath is going,
and the train behind is rushing on
fast; it seems quite close now; he
can almost feel its breath upon him !;
still he runs. Another moment and he
will have gained or lost-which? He
must make that short space! What a
thing it is. this being face to face with
death. He cannot hold out much lon
ger: he feels he must lose-and VIII u

effort. lie clears the tunnel, leaps
from the track, and falls headlong

cowcatcher or not. stopped the train
and went back in search of him; and
when Duke Carlton regained con-

the depot in the village for which he
nad started some hours before.
He was not seriously injured. His

but otherwise rejoicing that he had
succeeded in his quest, and would be
in time for his wedding, with thirty
minutes to spare.
Duke Carlton does not believe in the
theory that a persons hair turns
white in a night from sudden fright or
sorrow, for his own raven locks show
not Il trace Of silver; and surely no one
ever had a more terrible fright or n
narrower escape than did he on his
wedding day, when he ran race for
his bride.

Maj. Bishop has had unusual experience
in that line of work and probably few are so
well qualified to speak intelligcntly of it
as he. For the greater part of his life he
has been engaged in water ways, and is one
of the oldest and best known civil engineers
north of the Ohio river.
Commencing in 1850, he was for number
of years an assistant engineer for the Hud-

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The annex
SO far as the legislative branch of the
Government is concerned. Quite unex-
pectedly the resolution providing for
the annexation of the islands was
this afternoon, and it was passed by
the decisive vote of ~ to y.
Neither White nor Pettigrew spoke at
great length, but Allen thought when
he began that his speech might occupy
the entire day and part of tomorrow.
However, he concluded to eliminate a
part Of the matter, and at Ais he COM
pleted his speech.
The test vote came upon an amend
ment offered by White Of California
1t was offered with no expectancy that
it would be adopted, but merely to
place the ideas and opinions of the OPP
ponents of annexation on record It
was rejected by a vote of 40 to 20,
indicating that the annexationists We're
strongly in the majority.
Amendment after amendment was
offered, but the advocates of the reso-
luton stood solidiy together, gaining
rather than losing strength on the sue
cessive votes.
Finally, at $50 p. m, the resolution
Itself, in precisely the form in which
it was received from the House Of
Representatives was reported to the
Senate, and the roll call began.
When the Vice President announced
the vote by which the resolution was
passed a tremendous wave of applause
