There have been various stories
written about the stealing Of the Bal
timore and Ohio Rail Road engines
at Martinsburg, w. Va, during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail-
roads by Col. Thomas Sharp, who is
still living in Ohio. Recently an Of
fetal of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road made some inquiries of old en-
ployes who were at Martinsburg at
the time the incident happened and
they say that on June 10, 1861, 200
men of Gen1 Stonewall Jackson's
command were detailed to destroy the
Baltimore and Ohio's equipment at
Martinsburg. They piled wood and
coal over Al engines and nearly 400
cars and then set fire to them. Only
ten or twelve of the engines however,
were seriously damaged, and these not
by the fire, but because the water was
first let out of the boilers. Col. Sharp
arrived in Martinsburg on August IS,
1861, and remained there until the fol-
lowing March, engaged in removing
engines, machinery, etc. He took
eight engines across the country over
the turnpike, either 10 Stanton, Win
chester or Strasburg, land there are
some historians who disagree on this
point 80 horses being required to haul
each engine. He also removed all the
duplicate parts of engines and cars
aud all the rough iron at the station,
and took away all machinery and
tools which were afterward used in the
Southern arsenals. The country around
Martinsburg is extremely billy and the
work Of getting the engines over the
country roads required considerable
engineering ability 1t has been cur
rently reported in late years that one
Of the locomotives was the Winans
camel-back No. 80 which at that time
was numbered n, but Col. Sharp did
not care for this class of engines and
took only ten wheel and passenger en-
gines. There was only one eight wheel
locomotive taken and that was No. "a.
Some years after the war Col. Sharp
was employed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road as Master of Trans
portation.

AMERICANS HAD TO LEAVE.
Yaquis Spared Their Lives, But Nothing
Elaa.

Else.
John Rogers, n Denver prospector,
who went into the Yaqui gold country
of Sonora year ago. has reached FL
Paso, Texas, from the northeast branch
Of the Yaqui river, where he and Peter
Burgess have been working the claim
Of Quailey Brothers Of Chicago. He
tells thrilling tale Of his experience
with the Indians and counts himself
fortunate that he escaped with his
life. A few days ago a band of forty
Indians. all armed with Winchesters
and old-fashioned Mexican weapons,
appeared at the Quailey claim and rob-
bed the two miners OF everything they
possessed, including their arms and
ammunition, and ordered them to leave
the country Immediately, if they wish
ed TO preserve their lives. When the
Indians appeared Rogers and Burgess
were at work ct the bottom of forty
foot shaft which they had sunk. They
were told to come out, and then the
braves filled portion of the shaft
with loose dirt and stones. The mine
is sixty miles from the nearest camp
or town, and the two Americans were
compelled to tramp the entire distance.
without food. On the way they met an
officer and detachment of Mexican SOL
diers, who said they had been detailed
to search for seven Americans from
New York who were missing from the
Salauripa district. They had failed to
find the Americans and the only pre-
sumption was that the Yaquis had
murdered them.

Entertained hY q Hen.

The ways of a hen are often original
and sometimes mirth-provoking, and a
Plymouth Rock did novel and amusing
things, to the joy Of carload of pas
sengers, on recent trip from Brad
dock to Pittsburg. The Pittsburg Com
mercial Gazette tells the story. Carry
ing hen proudly, man who was evil
IDENTIFY foreigner, got on the trolley
car at Braddock. He was drowsy and
not quite sober, and he crossed his
legs, set the hen on his lap and went
to sleep Four miles out of Braddock
the hen suddenly woke from its own
reyerie and caekled. Its owner opened
his eyes and found himself and his hen
objects of interest. He was ANNOYED:
but the passengers had more or less
excuse for staring; they had discovered
a fresh egg resting snugly on the mans
lap. No one could speak the mans
language, but everyone was bound that
he should know what had happened.
Twenty index fingers pointed to the
hen, and forty eyes were turned in the
same direction. Finally the stranger
lifted the hen tenderly and the secret
was revealed. The hen was wide
awake. With his left hand he held
the egg aloft, that all might see; with
his right hand he affectionately stroked
the hen. Everybody smiled. All at
once it seemed to occur to him that
refreshments were in order. He grinned
at his passengers, tapped the
shell on the edge of the seat to open
way to the interior, and swallowed
the egg.

Golden Rod and Hay Fever.

These are the days when the golden
rod holds glittering sway in all the
fields and vacant territory in and about
the city and foraging parties may be
seen coming in on all the suburban
trains, bearing great punches of the
flowers. For time the question OF
making the golden rod our national
flower was given thoughtful consider
alton, but since the learned men have
given assurance that the golden rod
is responsible in large measure for hay
fever its stock has diminished until we
hear no more about elevating it to the
pedestal which should be occupied by
the proud American beauty rose. No
one has explained just why golden rod
produces hay fever, but the physicians
assert that the germs OF the disease
Turk in the bright yellow pollen of the
plant. There is nothing pleasant about
the odor of golden rod, and conse-
quently no occasion for one to take
chances by inhaling the pollen. Since
it is also held by men of science that
hay fever is sign OF incipient degen-
eracy, it behooves every one to have a
care about being exposed to the remot-
est danger of infection.

New York Times: The resemblances
between Admiral Dewey and Gen.
Grant are strikingly close. The merit
record of one in the naval academy is
almost identical with that OF the other
in the military academy. They were
vt about the same place above the bot
tom of the class; they were deficient
in the same studies, and their conduct
marks were much alike. The one
reached the highest position in the
army and the other in the navy. In
mOdesty and dignity of personal bear
ing they are singularly alike. They
resemble each other also in their dispo-
sltion to award full credit to their sub
oTdinates in every achievement. Their
manner of speech is identical. 1t is
direct, terse, right to the point, and in
plain, vigorous English, such as the
plain people can understand. In an
other respect they are alike-namely,
namely in securing the cordial admira-
ton of all foreign powers with whose
representatives they came in contact.

PRESIDENT M'KlNLEY
Al the Battle Of Man,,..

The spontaneous outburst Of patriot
ism by the president during his visit
10 Chicago to the autumn festival. He

stepped forward, received the president
and escorted him to the observation
deck OF the Olympia. About a dozen
sailors from Manila were lined I'D on
each side Of the gangway and saluted
the president. He smiled and bowed
very gracefully, and took off his hat
70 the heroes. After witnessing the
great storm, the Olympia's night sig
nals, the moonlight scene, the night
lights of two cities. the beautiful sun
rise, the battle between the U. S. and
the Spanish fleets and the destruction
OF the Spanish Armada, he turned to
tnose around MIN, and pointing to the
American vessels said: There they are
all IN line, this is wonderfully inn
presSive scene. every American should
see it. Just then the big eight-inch
gun of the Olympia doomed out a
presidential parting salute. and he re-
marked very real,' and passing down
the gangway, entered his carriage and
was whirled away while thousands
who had gathered on few moments
notice sent up cheer after cheer for
the president of the great United
States.
The Battle of Manila has earned a
national reputation, its merits as an
educational feature. and the wonder
fully realistic scenic effects has earned
the Endorsement of the president and
the people. The first year it has been

wHITEwAsHERs' TRUST.
Colored Caiciminers Have Caught the
Craze for Combines.

trdZe Tor Combines.
Baltimore whitewashers are about to
form a combination for the regulation
of their business, and for the purpose
of preventing price cutting, says the
Baltimore Sun. Colored men who have
been engaged in the business for years
have been alarmed over novices who
enter into competition with them and
secure jobs by using inferior materi-
ais and cheap workmen. This they
say reflects in the end upon the trade
in general, and their object is to up
hold their profession by throwing
around it safeguards which they claim
will be as much for the benefit of their
customers as for themselves. When 1t
is remembered that there are about
$1,000 buildings in Baltimore it will be
seen what formidable affair a white
washers trust would become, and how
its workings would be brought home to
nearly every family in the city. Scarce
ly single one of these buildings but
needs a coat of whitewash for some
part of it or its surroundings at least
once or perhaps twice year. There
is some talk of having the state regu
late the business, probably by having
a state board of examiners, who would
inquire into the qualifications OF white
washers by competitive examinations.
1t has been suggested that the exami-
nations might be arranged to take
place at some state institution, where
a section of fence or building might
be allotted to each applicant for a
practical evidence of his ability. An
other plan suggested is to license white
washers. Then, it is said, the men
would be registered and could be kept
under surveillance.

The Solution Theory OF Carburized Iron.
AT the recent meeting of the Iron
and Steel institute DR.. Stansfield stated
that metallic alloys behaved like saline
solutions, and bringing carburized iron
into line with alloys was rendering a
service to industrial and theoretical
chemistry. A solution need not be a

when they were at high temperature,
an added element tended to diffuse it.

which, however, as from the liquid so

is solution of carbon in iron, and
under certain conditions the solidified
mass also formed solid solution.

The superior flavor OF Smyrna fgs is
ascribed to certain Asiatic insects,
which produce more perfect fertiliza-
tion of the fiavors OF the fig trees In
Asia Minor than is commonly effected
in other countries. The flavor appears
to depend upon the number Of rip
ened seeds in the fruit. During the past
year the department of agriculture has
imported some of these insects from
Asia into California, and 1t is hoped
that they will multiply there and i'm
prove the flavor OF American figs.
