o'clock this morning and Joseph Duffy was pain
fully burned. Duffy is the night electrician He
was walking near the regulator house and struck
match to light his pipe. There was a sudden
flash and instantly the shed was ablaze. A leak
in one of the gas pipes mad caused the escape of
gas through the ground and it permeated the
atmosphere in the neighborhood of the shed An
alarm of fire was sounded. but the hospital de-
partment had the fire extingushed before the city
apparatus arrived. The loss to the shed is less
than 800.
The accident will cause some inconvenience to
the hospital on account of the temporary loss of
fuel gas The mains shut off as soon as
the condition of affairs became known and the
fires under the boilers were maintained with coal
Duffy was burned about the head, face and
hands. He is painfully hurt but it is thought not
seriously.

Bowling Leagues Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Indianapolis
Bowling League will be held tonight. The
most important question to come up is the
proposition to change from the game of nine
pins to that of ten pins. 1t was thought
this change would be made without opposi-
ton, but it is understood there are still some
sticklers for the obsolete game This is
partly owing to the fact that some of the
alleys are too narrow for tenpins, and the
expense of widening them would be con-
siderable, This is the only city of any conse-
quence in which bowling has taken hold
where the game of ninepins is played

ran into q drove Of cattle crossing the
track. The new pilot cut it's way
through them as if it We're really a
plough moving the soil, throwing them
right and left and clearing the track
without any perceptible effect on the
engine.
Every locomotive on the Columbus
and Xenia Railroad was equipped with
Davies cowcatcher as soon as it could
be made and put on, and It's fame soon
spread to other railroads until every
locomotive In the whole country was
equipped with the pilot, and, from that
time until this, no locomotive has been
built without Davies cowcatcher, al
though Davies has never had even the
honor of having his name mentioned by
any locomotive builder in connection
with the invention. He did not patent
the deYice-'being too busy he says
and, although it has saved hundreds
of lives and millions of dollars to the
railroad companies of this and other
countries, Davies never received a
pennys benefit from it.
"The locomotive whistle would have
come in time, of course, but it was hur-
ried up by an accident on the Liverpool
and Manchester Railroad in 1888. Loco
motives had only been in practical use
then about four years, and were still
crude and imperfect machines. There
was no whistle or bell to signal or give
warning of their approach or proxin-
ity. The engineers used tin horn,
like a dinner horn, on which they
footed to warn pedestrians and team
sters at crossings. On that day of the
mishap that led to the invention of the
locomotive whistle a farmer was near
ing crossing on the Manchester Rail-
road. He was on his way to the market
town, his wagon being loaded with eggs
and butter. A train was approaching,
and the engineer footed his tin horn.
The farmer did not hear it, and drove
upon the track in time to be promptly
knocked off, with his team, wagon, and
all. The result was two dead horses, a
wrecked wagon, scores of dozens of
mangled eggs, and many pounds of
ruined butter. The farmer was not
hurt He brought in bill of damages
against the company so large that it
alarmed the managers. They paid the
bill, but fearing the future with that
incident as precedent, they waited upon
George Stephenson, who had built the
LOGON otive, and appealed to him to in
vent something that could give a warn
ing about the hearing Of which by the
person warned there could be no posi-
BILE doubt. Stephenson went to work,
and the next day had devised a con-
trivance which, when attached to the
engine boiler and steam turned into it,
gave out a shrill, discordant sound.
The directors of the company We're de-
lighted and paid Stephenson 800 for
his invention, which they attached to
all their locomotives. That was how
the locomotive whistle originated, but it
was not until after 1910 that it was
adopted to American locomotives

AN UNWILLING RECRUIT.
The Departure of Young sicilian Wht

Inc departure OIL d 1OuHS plCllldu w no
Had Been Drafted Into the Army.
More than one American family of to-
the season of the country's need, the
young son of the house went to the war
but probably not one American family
can quite enter into the spirit Of the
scene described by Mr.. William Agnew
Patton in his picturesque Sicily"
The boy who went to the war in
America was fired by love of his coun-
try and though, when the farewell
came, he set his teeth hard and felt his
eyes moisten as he turned to take
last look at the dear ones gathered
around the home gate, his heart beat
too strongly with patriotism to make
the occasion one of unmixed sorrow.
That glow of patriotism is wanting
in the case of the recruit of some other
lands, to judge by Mr.. Patons de-
cription. 1t is one thing to join the
army because of the country's need and
quite another to go as the result of be-
ing drafted with no thought but that
Of bitterness at the hardness of ones
lot.
Patton saw a young recruit, newly
drafted, taking leave of his family. He
was very young, hardly of an age to fit
him for military service. This may
perhaps serve as an excuse for the fact
that, in spite of his new uniform, he
stood in the middle Of the road crying
like baby as he poured his tale Of woe
into the ears of his younger brothers
and sisters, and possibly his cousins
also; for some ten Of twelve children
were grouped round him, standing or
kneeling upon the pavement, all Of
them weeping bitterly.
The boys mother, her eyes red and
her hair dishevelled, was delivering to
a dozen or more of her friends a TRADE
against the injustice of compelling her
boy to serve in the royal army. Opinion
seemed unanimous, for all gave their
unequivocal and vociferous assent to
her proposition and complaints.
The lane was full of women. There
were few men, only those being there
who were too old to work. The windows
and doors of the houses were occupied
by other women, all gesticulating and
all very angry.
w Hell the SStScdHI, d SOOu
fellow, who had permitted his charge
to halt on his way to the railway sta
ton, motioned the young recruit to
come away, the scene in the lane beg
CARED description. The children gave
loud voice to their sorrow, the mother
frantically kissed her boys face, hands
and clothing, and even, by throwing
herself upon the ground, managed to
kiss his feet.
Then, rising to her knees, she clench-
ed both hands, and, lifting them toward
heaven, seemed to be calling down
vengeance on the sergeant and all set
in authority over him who had part or
lot in the taking of her son from her.
When last seen she was being led
into her house by her synpathizing
friends, while the children, crying and
gesticulating, followed the young re-
cruit to the corner of the street where
they shrieked a last farewell to the
newly-made soldier who trudged beside
the sergeant weeping aloud.-Youth's
Companion.
