the engine, but not staying in the least the movement of the train. The dip in the grade came nearer and nearer, and a last Finch cried:
 My God, boys, I don't believe I can stop her"
 Then suddenly the engine leaped for ward as it felt the sleeper grade, and the speed increased each second in spite of Finch's efforts al car after car swept over the brink and pushed forward with a force that was not to be resist ed, The occupants of the cab could do nothing but cling to the engine with q heplessness which became despair, as they saw that the big engine was en- tirely beyond control, But as the Mas sachusetts came rushing down toward the depot the full horror of the situa- ton burst upon her occupants, for there seemed to be no way to escape plunging straight into the abutments of the new bridge.
 There was a scramble for the sides of the cab. Eddy made the first jump and he rolled off the tracks just at the sta tion unhurt. Moore, the conductor and Nichols fireman, who was riding
 in the cab, jumped next and were not seriously injured, while back of them the train hands were jumping to the right and left for their lives Finch bravely stuck to the Massachusetts, do- ing all he could to stop the headlong rush and planning to jump at the last moment at the river bank, and Marcey staid with him.
 A few seconds more and the whole train would be piled up in the river, but just then curious thing occurred. As the Massachusetts reached the point where the spur track led off to the round house Finch felt a sudden jerk sidewise that told him the engine had taken the switch, and realizing that it must plunge into the round-house in- stead of the river he jumped without an instant's hesitation and without seeing what his landing place was going to be. He luckily struck a clear spot just in front of the round house and went roll ing yards away from the track, while the mighty engine with its long train of cars went rushing at full speed through the double doors. Marcey had delayed his jump too long and was buried in the debris into which the round-house, en- zine and cars were resolved.
 Abel Willard the master mechanic of the road, had heard the engine coming down the grade, and supposing that it was some engine wanting to come in there, had thrown the switch. The force with which the Massachusetts pushed by the heavy train, struck the round-house was tremendous. The old engine, Hampden, which was standing on the track inside was driven through the brick wall on the further side and brought up standing, after climbing a wood-pile which stood on the very brink of the river But for this the MaSsa- chusetts would have got into the river after all, despite the trifing obstacle of brick roundhouse.

TROUBLE COMING.
Horace Johnson Says Look Out for At- ! mospheric Disturbances.


 Weather Prophet Horace Johnson sounds a note of warning. Apparently great atmospheric disturbances are in sight and from the wording of his warning inlanders who venture on the waters about the time of the yacht race are lia ble to undergo an unpleasant eX- perience. In his own words the fore case is as follows:
 From the second to the seventh of October there will be a pery great dis iurbance in the atmosphere. The plan cts that have a powerful effect upon the atmosphere of earth will be disturb ed to the center, the disturbance will he widespread. Columbia be on the lookout, Shamrock days are coming. Mechanism and expert handling of the national yachts will soon be in order. None but old salts have business at the coming contest. Land lubbers should 20 to the leeward side of the barn, with their pockets filled with crackers and cheese, prepared for a long storm"

A big rush to Poli's last night arriv- ed in time to see every act on the bill. The whole show is excellent. Dan Collyer and Barry Maxwell at the head of the bill with An African Tragedy" are as jolly a pair as any one could wish, and their sketch is uproariously funny. Farnum and Seymour, the Jumpers and Pierce and Egbert in song illustrations are two great hits. The high class comedietta "Dr. Bird is finely played by William Frederic X Co, and the olio has strong attractions in Darling and Marshall, Howard and Linder, West and Williams Harry Sic bech, and the graceful spaniards Seno- rita Carmelita and Senor Rafale.

There is also the danger that the peo-
pie might become accustomed to look
for wholesale bribery, and enough Of
them become corruptible to sell their
votes, and affect the elections.
There you have an epitome of both
sides of the argument. The reason for
calling attention to this condition pros
pectively affecting our body polite lies
in the fact that during the past decade
various state legislatures have failed to
perform their constitutional functions,
and have adjourned without electing
| senators, thereby depriving sovereign
states of their right to complete repre-
sentation on the floor of the national
senate.
One striking example of this condi-
| ton may be referred to without preJu-
| dice. In 1894 Senator Mitchell, of Ore
gon, discussing the right of the gov
ernor of Montana to appoint Lee Mantle
as Il senator, after the legislature of
Montana failed to elect a senator. said:
Suppose rich man should arise in
Oregon, two years hence, and prevent
my reelection to the senate. Suppose
that rich man should be in collision
with the governor of Oregon. And, aft
er preventing the legislature from
electing me, that rich man should be APP
pointed to the senate by the governor of
Oregon, would it be right to give him a
seat in this body? | say not; and will
vote against the admission of a senator
from Montana appointed under such
circumstances"
Strange as it may seem, two years
after Senator Mitchell had delivered
that speech the Oregon legislature was
induced to adjourn without electing a
senator to succeed Senator Mitchell.
Very soon thereafter the governor of
Oregon appointed one Corbett, very
rich man, to the senate. The case
was considered carefully and, by a vote
of two to one, the senate refused to give
Corbett a seat. Thus Il precedent was
established. When a legislature fails
| to elect the governor of Il state cannot
appoint a senator.
The Corbett case is the last one on
| record. The first precedent was formed
in 1898, at a session of the senate for
the third congress. Senator Read. of
Delaware, resigned in December, 1892,
when the state Legislature was in ses-
! sion. His successor was not elected
and the governor of Delaware, in
March, 1898, appointed Kensey Johns.
! After full discussion the senate re-
fused to permit Mr.. Johns to be seated

TOLD OF ELIZABETH.
A Characteristic AnecdOte of the Late
Empress of Austria Related
by Her Companion.

The biography of Elizabeth, recently
published by Harper & Bros. under
the title 1.-THE Martyrdom of an EN-
press" contains many interesting in
cidents and adventures of which the
empress was the heroine during her
long and eventful life. Elizabeth and
her constant companion, the author,
used to disguise themselves and visit
the slums of the cities, nursing the sick
and comforting the afflicted. One night
they were riding through the outskirts
of Pesth when they heard a woman's
screams from ricke*y hovel.
ION the impulse of the moment" says
the author, 1--WE both leaped from our
horses, and, rushing to the door and
pushing it open, we found ourselves in
villainously dirty room, where a huge
ruffian of man was dragging a woman
about the floor by her luxuriant, I'M
bound hair, kicking her vigorously as
he did so. Before l realized what was
happening the empress had laid her
heavy hunting crop about the fellows
face, and so surprised was he at our
unexpected appearance and at this Wig
osoxs Onslaught that he dropped his
victim and stared at us in blank amaze
ment. His establishment was, however,
as nothing to ours when the ill-used
dame sprang to her feet, and, putting
her arms akimbo, demanded, in her
shrillest Hungarian, and with torrent
of invectives, what we hussies' meant
by interfering with her husband. The
empress burst into peal of laughter,
and taking from her habit couple of
gold ten-gulden pieces she handed them
to this model benedict, exclaiming
Beat her, my friend; beat her all she
wants. She deserves it for being SO
loyal to YOU"

I by a vote of 90 to Z. The constitution
was construed to mean that governors
of states may appoint senators 10 sue
coed those who die or resign, provid-
ed the state legislatures do not have
! opportunity to elect successors. But
when a legislature fails to perform its
constitutional function, after having
had opportunity to do so, the governor
cannot appoint senator. This ques-
ton will again come up, however, In
the cases of Senator Quay, just APP
/ pointed by the governor of Pennsyl-
vania, and Col. Daniel NJ. Burns, ao-
| pointed by she governor of California.
| Delawa". four years ago failed 60
elect a successor to Anthony Higgins,
and no appointment was Tade. Della
wares legislature recently adjourned
without 0iscting a successor to George
Gray. Thus for a third time in its
history Delaware has failed to elect
senator, and that state for third time
has but one representative in the sem
ate, when she is entitled to two.
In recent years nine state legislatures
| California and Pennsylvania being the
LAST have adjourned without electing
senators. In some of these cases it is
known that money has been literally
and lavishly used to bring about the
deplorable result. Ambition, avarice,
lust of power, pride of station, greed of
gain and desire for personal prefer
ment have stood between the people
and their constitutional rights.
These modern conditions have caused
many honest statesmen to advocate the
election of senators by direct vote of
the people, instead of by the legisla-
lures of the state. In order to bring
about this change it would be neccs-
sary to adopt an amendment to the ma
tional constitution. Conservative men
doubt whether an amendment yf this
nature would meet with the approval
of two-thirds of the states.
Several Of The states in their party
conventions have indorsed certain in
dividuals for the senate, campaigns
have been made upon platforms con-
tanning the names of favorite sons, and
legislatures have felt in duty bound to
elect those who have thus been prac-
tically chosen by direct vote of the
people. The pursuance of this policy
may bnng about the result which sc
| many desire, without amending tho
national constitution.

RUSSET SHOE POLISH.
Formula for Making Ones own Sup
ply of Liquid Cleanser and
Sitter Paste.

Replying to inquiries from CORE
spOndents, the American Druggist gives
these recipes, the first for a liquid pol
ish, and the second for sitter paste:
The liquid preparation has compost
ton resembling the following: Yellow
beeswaX, two ounces; fiaXseed oil, three
ounces; oil of turpentine, ten ounces.
Dissolve by means of a water bath in a
closed vessel and add hard yellow soap
finely shaved, one and a quarter ounces.
Dissolve the soap with the aid of heat in
IA ounces of water and add the solution
to the solution of yellow wax and flax
seed oil formed in the first instance. A
nice russell brown color may be impart-
ed to this shoe polish by incorporating
about three grains of Bismarck brown
to each ounce of the polish.
Russet shoe paste has many of the
characteristics of rosin cerate. 1t usual
ly consists of an ointment of yellow wax
and turpentine, colored with palm oil.
The following formula may be used:
Yellow wax, one ounce; palm oil, one
ounce; oil turpentine, three ounces;
oil mirbane, Is drops. Make into a
paste. The color may be heightened if
not of the right shade by the judicious
use of butter coloring made from an
natto.
