A VISIT TO sAMoRY.

Experience of an English Captain.
 Tn view of the news that the French have defeated and captured Samory, who is said to be now a prisoner in their Senegal possessions, Reutler's Liverpool representative has just had q interview with Captain George AL fred Williams, one of the few Euro peans who have seen Samory and con- versed with him. Captain Williams went to Samory's country several years ago on a commercial expedition. Samory was then ill the Hinterland of Sierra Leone, fighting the French, with whom he had been in open con- flict for years. Captain Williams start ed from Freetown, Sierra Leone, and was seven months away.
 I met Samory, or, as I then knew him, Samadou, said Captain Williams, at his war town of Kab-eu-Douga. I had previously sent word to ask him for permission to come up to see him; but I had to wait just on the frontier of his country until this permission ar rived. Samory not only granted my re- quest, but sent down an escort of his own men to bring me up to him. first met Samory'S men, the Sofas, in the Sangara country. They had then been at war with the various tribes for considerable time, and when I got to the town of Falabah, which is in Eng fish territory, and was the last town where there was British garrison, lr .I.a ;v,a -to fa nf excitement. It was reported that Sa- madou's warriors were coming in, and that probably all in the town would be killed or carried away into slavery. When the people of Falabah heard that I was coming up, they sent word for me to hasten, as they were afraid the town would be attacked immedi- ately by the Sofas. By forced march I reached Falabah that night, thirty seven miles. The Sofas had not then come in but I had hardly pitched my tent when an alarm was raised that the Sofas had arrived at the eastern gate.
 went out and met Samadou's chief, by name Babaa. He knew of my mis- sion, and promised not to attack the town, but he said he must have some guns which the garrison (eight frontier police) were detaining, but which be- longed to him. The guns were given up ,, by the frontiers, but had in the mean time been rendered useless. Almamy Dinkah was the chief of Falabah, and

Last Saturday there was a close call
for a serious accident on the railroad
between Lordsburg and Stems Pass.
Train Dispatcher Chas. Brown was on
duty at Tucson, and gave an order
for a freight train to start west from
Lordshurg with no meeting order.
Two special freight trains were travel.
ling east and Brown had forgotten
them. They had no orders to meet
the west bound train. When Brown
remembered the east buuud trains he
telegraphed to Stems Pass for them
and the Stems Pass operator tele
graphed that they had passed his
station. He Immediately telcgraphed
to LOrdsburg aud asked IL the train
had left the station and found it had.
lie told the Lordsbnrg operator to
send an engine after it and stop it if
possible. Agent Bugbee heard this.
He looked out the window, and saw
an engine taking water at the tank.
lie rushed out jumped on the engine
and cried out; "Catch that train as
quick as you can" The engineer
never stopped to ask any question.
He saw something serious was the
matter. He called to the fireman to
throw uD the water spout and started
his engine. BY the time it had reached
the narrow gauge depot it was going
sixty miles an hour aud made the
fastest time ever recorded by q loco
motive out Of Lordsburg TO the west.
Mr.. Bugbee sad he thought that when
they reached the light rails the loco
motive would go in the ditch. They
reached the train at the Playas valley
tank where it was taking water. and
the first OF the east bound trains had
come TO a stop justin front OF il. The
west bound train backed up to Pyra-
mid switch where the east hound
trains passed it. When Mr.. Brown
went of duty that night he rendered
his resignation, which was accepted.
1t is the objectionable sin for a train
dispatcher TO overlook a train ia Civ
ing orders, as iti is with an operator to
fail to give orders to the train men
and of train men to go past a place
where they have meeting orders. Mr..
Brown is an old employe Of the road.
He was train dispatcher for some
years, and then train master. a few
weeks ago he went back to the train
dispatchers desk for a rest, the work
OF train master being 900 cOnfuing. II
is too bad TO see an cid and faithful
employe let out because OF a mistake,
but such are the rules of railroads.

The people Of Lordsbugg were con-
siderable surprised last week by the
hight Of Hugh Morrison, who skipped
from town owing nearly two thousand
dollars. Morrison came here a year
ago aud went to work in the butcher
shop. He proved to be a good butcher,
was very accommodating and made a
good impression. He married a young
lady here and apparently settled down
Tor lie. There were several changes
10 the ownership OF the butcher shop,
and finally it fell into his hands. He
had a good trade and was doing well,
although he was some in debt, but his
debts were mostly for beef and the
beef was turned into money as fast as
it was put in the shop. Recently he
secured some forty bead Of cattle OF
}. V. Parks, which he killed and sold.
About two weeks ago his wife went to
Tucson, and after she had been there
a few days he reported that She was
quite sick. Last week Tuesday he
went TO Tucson TO see her, expecting
to be back 10 a couple OF days. He
did not show up aud It was learned
that he had taken a trunk with him,
aud had carried ii 70 the depot after
dark. This looked a little suspicious,
aud an investigation was made. 1t
was found that everything except the
furniture had been moved from his
house, and that be had shipped all his
bides TO Zeckeudorf s. Co., Of Tucson.
Telegrams to Tucson showed that
Heckendorf had paid the money for
tue hides to Mrs. Morrison, and that
the couple had taken the train for the
west. They said they were going to

friends in Oregon, and a telegram was
sent 10 the chief OF police in Los
