Il can run an engine like papa"
said little 3-year-old Fred Evans, a.
he was lifted down from the locomo-
tive Of the st. Johns motor line the
other day at Albina. He had mounted
the engine at st. Johns. pulled open
the throttle and remained on the seat
alone on mad ride of seven miles,
says an exchange. The young engin-
eer is the son Of w. B. Evans Of st.
Johns. an engineer on the motor line.
He has often been on the engine. and
his father had explained how the lever
Is pulled and the wheels started NOV
ing. The. engine lies over an hour at
st. Johns. just by the water tank. and
during this time. while Mr.. Evans was
at home At lunch. little Fred walked
down to the engine, mounted the seat
and opened the throttle wide. The
machine was full of coal and water and
ready for the road. Several people
saw the boy start. but no one was
close enough to catch the engine. The
news was at once told to Mr.. Evans,
and he reached the track Just in time
to see the locomotive, with his boy on
board, disappear around curve. The
father was wild with grief and fear.
and the boys mother was almost pros
trated. The news spread like wildfre.
and the whole town turned out. Ex-
eitement was intense. women and
children cried and the men offered eug-
gestions. Master Mechanic Michael F..
Brady was at the end Of the line, and
at once began to telephone to stations
along the line. Portsmouth and PEN
insular were notified, and men at
these points tried to board the engine
az 1t dashed by, but its speed was too
great. Mr.. Brady also notified the
oa1ce at Albina, and party Of men ran
out line northward to meet the wild
engine. In coming up the long grade
toward Albina, the steam died down
little, but the register still showed
eighty pounds. John Woods, a motor
man on the City and Suburban rail-
way, was the first man to meet the
engine. He caught the handrail and
swung up, but in SO doing he was drag
ged sixty or seventy-dve feet. He at
once turned of the steam, and the en-
gimme slowed down and stopped. It
was then young Fred made the remark
concerning his ability as an engine
driver. The boy was not scared at all,
but seemed rather proud Of his feat.
When the engine first dashed out OF
st. Johns he was frightened, and as
he came through Portsmouth like a
Shot out of gun. he was yelling lust
i:y for mamma" After going several
miles, however. he again became
brave, and held his position on the
seat with composure, with his hand on
the lever like veteran. In the mean
time the news of the rescue had been
sent by telephone to the frightened
parents. and for the remainder Of the
day there was great Joy in St. Johns.

EXPENSIVE WALNUT WOOD.
IL Is Becoming Scarcer and More
Valuable Every Year.

(fTom the OhlCdgo heCofd.)
Indiana timber land. which was con-
sidered the best in the country is being
so rapidly denuded of the once splendid
forests Of hardwood timber that specula-
tors are seeing the advantage of gobbling
up everything that may be got in the
way Of timber tracts.
The walnut and hickory of Indiana and
Ohio are considered the best that can be
had, and the monster poplars which once
formed the nucleus for the log heap fire
are now worth individually more as they
stand than the acres they occupy will bring
when cleared, many poplar tree selling
for 500 before an axe touches it.
The walnut that was once so plentiful
that barn timbers, house stills, fencerails,
etc, were made from il is becoming ex
ceedingly scarce, and curled walnut stumps
have brought almost fabulous prices, while
hickory of the shellbark variety can
scarcely be found in some of the best sec
tions.
Last years purchase, by a Goshen Ind,
firm Of ffty-fve standing walnut trees
near the northern Indiana line for $4,000
and the handsome sum they made out Of
the handling Of this rare clump OF trees
has proved an incentive in the search for
timber in other directions. Grant county
furnished a notable instance in the sale
Of ESQ acres OF virgin forest in the Wood
tract the last large forest in Indiana, for
$4,000. A New York firm bought the
walnut timber where # stood for S55 600:
four hundred acres Of land, the timber be-
ing reserved by the seller, sold for 500 600,
and there remains $50 acres OF the rest
timber in Indiana, the walnut alone being
sold from it. The buyers viii clear $50, 600
by their deal in that timber.
Where years ago the lumbermen went
only for large tracts, they are now content
with individual trees, and wherever there
is notably fine forest monarch Of the
desirable variety, its whereabouts become
widely known and the competition is very
sharp.

THE s.OPEN DOOR, ASSURED.
Hays Negotiations With European
Powers Practically Reached.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The success OF
the negotiations instituted by Secre-
tary Hay with a view of inspiring an
open door, for American trade in
China may now be regarded as assured.
The last phase of the negotiations, the
reduction of arrangements, has reach
ed Informally the shape of what are
known as definitive notes. This work
has been going on for some weeks
with the result that every one of the
powers that participated in the nego-
tiations have returned to the state de-
partment its written agreement with
the exception of Japan and Italy.
There is not the slightest doubt in
these cases for Japan was one of the
first nations approached by the United
States to welcome our overtures, while
Italy voluntarily entered into the ne
gotiations without waiting for adj
vances from the United States. The
non-receipt of their formal undertake
ings is believed to be due to a delay
in the mails, for intimations have been
given to the effect that they already
had been dispatched.

The committee appointed by Speaker
Bowen to investigate and report on the
contested seat OF Representative By
ers OF Shelby county. began its work
today. The seat is contested by Geo
Battey, silver democrat from Ports
mouth, shelb county. In his notice OF
contest, which was filed with the sec
rotary of state, reported to the house,
and is now in the hands of the special
committee Mr.. Battey alleges errors
in the count of the vote in Shelby coun-
ty, whereby Mr.. Bvers was declared
the representative from that county.
MIR. Battev is a silver democrat, and
was the fusion candidate of that party
and the democrats and populists. He
does not specify in his notice of con
test in which precincts the alleged er.
rors We're committed, but merely
makes the sweeping statement thai
errors We're made. The vote was very
close, Bvers only winning by ma
jority of eleven. The vote was: Byers
1905: Battey, 1894. The auditor o4
Shelby arrived in Des Moiues
this morning with the ballots. MIR
Byers partner in Shelby, Edmund Lock
wood, and gorge w. Cullison, attor
ney for Battey, also arrived today
These gentlemen met the investigating
committee, together with the auditor
of Shelby county. The ballots were
turned over to Messrs, Lockwood AM
Cullison, who will agree on the vot.
as far as -ossible, and will then turn
the ballots upon which they canno
agree over to the committee. In til,
end the committee will pass on tn,
question, and will report to the hous,
accordingly. 1t is expected to take /
day or two to settle the matter. Mr.
Byers has left the contest entirely ii
the hands of Mr.. Lockwood and tn,
committee. He says he does not de
sire to have his case tried thru TIL
newspapers; tat if he received ma
jority of the votes in Shelby county
he wants to be the representative iron
that district, but that if he did not re
ceive majority he wants to step dow
and out. Following are members o

The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-08-08

the commanders had thoroughly agreed
in the advance upon a plan of action, and
that there is every indication that this
plan had been followed, as General
Chaffee, on Friday sent the cable dis
patch saying that the attack upon the
Chinese at Pet Sang would be made on
Sunday, the day when Admiral Remey
and the press correspondents say the
fighting occurred. General Chaffee's
announcement that the present objective
of the international column is Yang Tsun,
is interpreted by the officials at the War
Department to mean that this point
where river, railroad and wagon road
meet is to be made the advance base for
the operations on Pekin.
The most positive addition to the news
of the day was the brief line from the
Associated Press correspondent at Tien
Tsin stating that the Ninth and Four
teenth infantry, Reilly's Battery and the
marines were in the battle of Peit Sang.
1t was this force, which with the British
and Japanese, bore the brunt of the at
tack on the left flank, which was to
turn the enemy's position. This plan had
already been made clear by General
Chaffee's dispatch, although he did not
engaged
In view of the participation of the
American troops, the War and Navy De-
partments are anxiously expectant of the
report of the part taken by our troops
and of any losses, which the Americans
may have sustained No light has yet
been thrown upon the subject of whether
the commanders of the international
forces have agreed upon a commander.
cate that none had been agreed upon.
The movement was planned evidently by
the commanders in conference and the
part which each command was to play
agreed upon in advance. 1t is perhaps
noteworthy and significant that in this
plan of attack upon the enemy at Peit
Sang, the American, British and Japan
ese forces were joined in the movement
to turn the enemy's flank, while the
Russians and French operated together
on the opposite side of the river against
the enemy's left. This may indicate the
line of cleavage among the allies, whose
general dissensions were reported at Tien
Tsin. 1t also is exceedingly significant
that General Chaffee does not mention
the German force at ALL The War De-
partment officials do not believe that
this could have been due to an oversight
on his part if it was arranged that they
were to participate in the movement. 1t,
therefore, seems likely that the Germans
were not engaged at Peit Sang. 1t is
thought possible that they may be acting
independently.
