CARS BROKE FROM THE TRAIN.
A Peculiar Accident That Happened on ihs Central
Railroad of New Jsrssy.

"Some queer things happen in rail-
roading," said Delegate Bullock OF
Lodge No. 1Sl, after the evening ad-
journment of the trainmens conven-
tion the other day in New Orleans,
"quer things that go dead contrary to
all known rules. i remember an incl
dent of that kind that occurred at a
place called Mud Run Cove, on the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, or
Jersey Central to be short The track
there swings around a big spur Of the
mountains. on one side they go steep
up, and on the other side steep down,
like a book held slantways. The night
I'm thinking about we were going over
the line with a long freight. 1t was
dark as pitch. and storming. with every
now and then a big clap of thunder;
but we were behind time and travelling
at a pretty good stiff gait. When we
took the Mud Run Curve eight fiat cars
loaded with lump coal all of sudden
jumped the track.
Nov, naturally, they ought TO have
torn up things. ditched the rest OF the
train and raised Cain generally: but
they didn't They just quietly hopped
out near the middle and disappeared in
space without budgng the rails an
inch. IL the rear brakeman hadn't hap
pened TO be coming forward at the time
we would have simply passed on in two
pieces. AS IL was, he saw big hole in
the train and was so astonished he
came near falling off. He couldn't
imagine what had become of those
eight cars. but all the same he rushed
to the brakes. set 'em and gave the
signal to stop. When we came to in
vestigate all we found was a Tot oi
kindling wood and coal lying on the
bank OF the river. What made the eight
cars jump out / donS know. The en-
gineers said ii was centrifugal attrac-
tion. Others said 1t was pure cussed-
ness. 1t was the first and only time
L ever knew such thing TO happen
without ripping the very daylghts out
OF the track"

curio dealer to a Times Democrat re-
porter, but here is a little instrument

other day from a Norwegian sailor
who tells me it was given to him by a
Jap at Yokohama story that you

AS he spoke, he opened a show case
and took out what seemed 10 be an or
dinary Chinese marking brush OF rath-
er large size. The handle was some
ten inches long and the diameter OF
lead pencil. BY giving IL sharp twlst
IL separated about hands breadth
from the end, after the manner OF a
sword cane. and attached TO the small
Ter piece was a slender rod with nee
die point. The rod was not much Dig
ger than a knitting needle, and Win
the handle II had the effect OF very
small and delicate stiletto.

visitor after examining the contrlV-
ance.

OF the thing comes i'm. Look closely at
the glass rod and you will see tiny
groove filed around IL about two inches
from the hilt Suppose that II was
driven into the bofy OF man. Il would
be certain TO break at the groove ana
would leave at least three inches OF
glass buried In his vitals. The puncture
would be 50 small that IL would close
when the stump was drawn out and /
doubt exceedingly whether single
drop OF blood would follow. In other
words. the victim could receive MS
death blow without knowing exactly
what had happened 20 him. He would
feel a shock and a pang. but hnd no

EAST PROVIDENCE.

Charles Stackpole, 80 years old, en-
ployed as a meat cutter at Gardiner .
grocery store on Warren avenue was
pulled out of the Seekonk river. Thurs
day afternoon by John Olsen. engineer
for G. NJ. Long at the foot of Gano
street. Mr.. Long saw Stackpole when
he came TO the bank of the river and
watched him until he had removed all
OF his clothing and jumped into the
water. Mr.. Long supposed that the man
was there for the purpose OF taking
bath, but moment or two later heard
some OF his help shout, there's man
drowning" Mr.. Olsen ran to the scene,
and pulled Stackpole from underneath
one of Bowen's floats, apparently none
the worse for his ducking. When Stack
pole reached land he said: We'll, L
made a good attempt, didn't II When
asked why he did So he said some one
told him TO and he supposed that he
might just as well do dt as not. Stack
pole admitted he could not swim and
gave the men to understand that fam
ily trouble was the cause of his act.
Today he made a DENIAL of the whole
affair.
The liquor saloon OF Francis Harring-
ton on Warren avenue was broken INTO
by robbers last evening and 500 was
taken from the place. An entrance was
effected by opening a poorly secured
window i'm the rear of the saloon.
There was a cave-in on the banks or
the Seekonk last night In the vicinity
OF the approach OF the old Washington
Bridge, which was caused by the exca-
yations made for the sewer. When the
men on the dredge Saratoga heard the
noise and noticed that the dredge was
sinking they jumped through the win
dow and made for the shore. The cave
in carried down two large telegraph
and one telephone pole and these hit
the dredge and caused Ii to settle
few feet and this is what caused the
men to believe that the craft was sink

EXPERT CIGARETTE ROLLERS.
SIsgh.-of-hand Performances Of Mexican Smokers
No White Paper Used.

"This talk about starting a cigarette
trust in Old Mexico. strikes me as be-
ing rather a good joke" said an expe-
rienced tobacco man to New Orleans
Times Democrat reporter. Il would as
soon think of starting an ice trust at
the north pole and trying to corner the
inside supply. 1t is true everybody
smokes cigarettes in Mexico, but with
very few exceptions they make them
themselves. The aristocrats affect fam
cy brands, mostly Turkish and Egyp-
tian, but the masses use coarse granu-
lated tobacco. and either brown paper
or corn husk.
1T requires great deal OF skill to
roll a cigarette a In Mexicana, and I've
watched the natives do IL many a time
without being able TO initiate the per-
formance. The average Mexican. from
poor To upper middle class. carries a
handful OF granulated tobacco wrapped
up in a piece OF rag or the corner OF a
handkerchief. When he wants to
smoke, which is about once every five
minutes. he produces. let us say, bit
OF husk. spreads a pinch OF tobacco on
IL lengthwise, and twists IL into a cyln-
der by giving IL a sort OF sdelong slap
against his thigh. How he imparts the
necessary rolling motion / was never
able TO understand and granulated to-
bacco Is much more difficult to manipu-
late than the ordinary long-cut.
white paper for cigarette making is
almost totally unknown once you cross
the Rio Grande, and American tobacco
houses doing n large business I'm the
republic have found IL necessary to
substitute brown for their Mexican
trade. The kind best nked Is common
brown straw paper. chiefly used I'm this
country by butchers and grocers for
wrapping up parcels. IL has slight
flavor that soon becomes rather pleas
ant than otherwise"

MRS. DYER'S FUNERAL.
Large Ai!sndsnos Of Souowng Friends al the
Obseuulss al Natok.

Amid a wealth of beautiful flowers
that suggested the tender love in which
she was held, Gertrude Sphinx Dyer was
today laid to rest. The funeral SER
vices. which were held at her fathers
home in Natick. were very largely at
tended, for Mrs. Dyer was a woman
widely known, beloved and admired;
not alone by her own congenial circle
of friends, but by those also in the
lowly walks OF life, for whom she had
ever a pleasant smile and a kindly word
OF greeting. 1t was not strange there
fore that among the hushed and sad
dened company assembled an her Ola
home today were those not only or the
higher circle OF life, but many also
from the ranks OF the lowly. Mrs. Dyer
was a woman OF singular charm oI
mind and person. She was moreover
"A musician OF exceptional ability ana
naturally drew around her a circle OF
devoted friends. to whom the intelli-
gence OF her death brought unspeak-
able grief.
To these friends the knowledge OF her
beautiful life and character comes as
revelation. Her sufferings-so brave
ly. so uncomplainingly borne-the calm
courage OF the months when she nm
gered long on the brink OF eternity and
at lAst--the resignation and the fear
lessness with which she went out to
meet the life beyond will fill the hearts
OF those who knew her with reverence,
and her memory will be ever bene-
diction.
To her father and mother; TO the
daughter who ministered So
ard so tirelessly, all words OF comfort
are expressionless and futile.
To those of us who were privileged TO
know her the words of the poet suggest
themselves to us. and we exclaim:
20 what hadst thou TO do with Death
Who vast so full of life;
or Death with thee
That thou shouldst die
Before thou hadst grown old7''
