Sometime ago brakeman on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad used his
brains and saved a passenger train
from running into two dcrailed cars
The Company sent him check for
$50 and posted bulletin compliment
ing him for his quickness of thought.
A few days later, Engineer John Hag-
erty was oiling his engine at Councils
vile, while waiting for the passengers
to aiight. He heard another train
coming and believed that it was not
under proper control. He sprang into
his cab, opened the throttle and start
ed his train. The other engine struck
the rear car but it was not a hard blow
and Hagerty's promptness saved ten
or dozen lives. The Company has
ordered handsome gold watch, suit
ably inscribed, and g. gold chain for
Engineer Hagerty, as reward for his
devotion to duty and using his
brains in time of emergency.

A Manila, November 10 dispatch says:
General Hughes, with parts of the
Nineteenth and Twenty-sixth regi-
ments. moved from lloiio Thursday,
November 0, TO OttOn, six miles west,
for the purpose of capturing Santa
Barbara, the rebel stronghold, ten
miles north of Iloilo. Heavy rains
prevented the movement and the roads
were in places impossible. The same
night Colonel Carpenter, with the
Eighteenth regiment and battery G Of
the Sixth artillery, moved westerly
from Jaro to connect with General
Hughes. Colonel Carpenter was forced
to return to Jaro on account of the
roads, and the entire movement was
hampercd by lack of proper transpor-
tation. Company c of the Twenty
ninth regiment had the only fighting.
When three miles out of Jaro this COM
pany charged the rebel trenches and
three of the enemy were killed. One
American was wounded. General
Hughes, November u, occupied Tago-

coast, and also Cordova, in the interior.
The enemy did not oppose General

DISCUSS BURNED RECORDS

rcsentativc Hold 81 Conference.

rcsentativc Hold a Conference.
The members of the STATE printing
BOARD and representative of the
North Printing company were We'd
ncsday considering the question OF re-
printing the house and senate journals
OF the last legislature. When the
North Printing company building was
burned this work was nearly COM
pleted. but the books and copy pre-
pared by the clerks of the two houses
all went up in the smoke. The print
ing company was. of course. responsible
FOR the printing and binding and under
It's contract was obliged to turn the
the books over to the state.
The preparation of the copy from
the minutes of the proceedings was
another item, however. This had been
paid for by a specific appropriation by
the leg;sl allure and the work of ar
rangemcnt and iudexing done by TIE
Legislative clerks. These men had per-
formed their work and drawn their
pay when the copy was handed to the
printer, and there is no appropriation
doing the work over again.
The question was raised by one Of
the members of the printing board as
to the responsibility of the North
Printing company for the safe keeping
OF the copy, and when it was des-
troycd by lire to replace it. There wts
a difference of opinion among the
l,,:, hn,. la; !
that the North company should be
held responsible and compelled to pay
for the ne" copy and others doubling
that conclusion. The matter was re-
feircd to the attorney general for the
settlement of this and one or two other
legal points.
The North company is ready to re-
print the books as soon as the com
pany's new plant is installed, which
will be about January !, but is not
disposed to concede the company's re-
sponsibility for the burnt copy.
1t is understood that the clerks are
willing to make up the copy. and run
the risk of getting pay from the next
legislature.
The state printing board Thur sday
granted the Jacob North company an
extension Of time in which to reprint
the senate and house journals. The
company was at work on the journals
at the time Of the fire which consumed
its plant and the journals, copy and all
were destroyed. The clerks in the
secretary of states Office will go to
work immediately preparing new copy.

The latest thing in surgery is voice

The latest thing in surgery is voice
made to order. Actual operations
have demonstrated that the larynx.
or vocal box, can be successfully re-
moved, and the patient may not only
survive the shock, but recover. In or
der to restore speech to the patient an
artificial larynx and vocal cords must
be provided. This larynx is made Of
pure silver, and consists of tracheal
tube of larger size, with rings at its
lower end, permitting a slight motion,
corresponding to the natural fiexibility
OF the trachea or windpipe. Through
the front plate of this tube and
through an opening on Its upper curv-
azure passes second tube, also flex-
ible, with an opening on its lower
curved surface. This is so placed that
q stream of air may play freely
through both tubes, even though the
external outlet be closed. The upper
end of the second or pharyngeal tube
