A Thrilling Ride.

Chicago, Jan. A special to the
Chronicle from Galena, ILL.,, says: The
travellers on a Chicago-Great Western
train had a thrilling ride and a narrow
escape from death at Galena Junction
today. To avoid death, the engineer and
fireman Of the passenger train jumped
just as their engine crashed into the
rea of a disabled freight train standing
in a long tunnels So great was the force
of the collision that the passenger en-
CINE bounded back, and before the en-
gineer or fireman could climb aboard the
engine the train was going down a steep
grade at the mouth Of the tunnel. The
train had run a mile and was within
100 feet of a stationary freight train
when stopped. The engineer and fire.
man of the passenger train were both
injured,

Canal In Working Order.

Chicago. Jan. 4.-The clear waters Of
Lake Michigan have invaded the Chicago
river as far as Harrison street bridge,
in the south branch. At sunset last
night the water had taken on a clearer
tinge as far south as Twelfth street.
Twelfth street is almost two miles from
the mouth of the river At Wells street,
about half a mile from the rivers mouth,
1t was better han it usually is 200 yards
west of the life saving station. Even the
south fork Of the south branch. known as
the stockyards branch, shared in the
benefits of the opening of the drainage
canal. A slight current was noticeable
at Archer avenue bridge, due to the
lowering of the river and to the city
pumps at Bridgeport. The flume of the
collateral channel at Kenzie avenue was
doing it's full work all day and $4,000
cubic feet of water poured into the drain
6 canal every minute. This draft on
the river was augmented by an addi-
tional $4,000 cubic feet a minute, the
Bridgeport pumps were turning into the
old canal.
The rate at which the water Is rising
In the Windage basin at the controlling
works at Lockport indicates that a week
will elaDse before the level of the inter
sill will be reached. The fume at Kenzie
avenue was the objective point for a
large number of sightseers, who tramped
across the prairie during the day to see
the n Hooded. Women We're out in
large numbers, n carriages found their
way over frozen ruts and hummocks.
BY the end Of the week the drainage
officials expect to be able to show in the
Chicago river a body of water which
will compare favorably with the Des-
PLANES river below Joliet.

the bishop made his way to him. my

for a real conversation with you. I need
not ask how you are after all these years.

Yes. my lord; how good of you to re-
member her" etc. The chaplain, who
was within earshot, said when he again
came near the bishop: Then you did

GEN. ROBERTS ARRIVAL

Fire-An Absence Of News.

London, Jan. 4, 4:30 a. m.-There is a
complete absence of anything new from
the seat of war. The report of the Boer
attack upon Molteno is not yet con-
firmed. Apparently Gen. French holds
nothing within five miles OF Colesburg
junction. His request for reinforce
ments .dispel any present hope that he
will be able to seize one Of the cross
ings of the Orange river.
1t is probable that when Lord Roberts
arrives Gen. French will be ordered to
quit his present unsupported position and
to concentrate his command at DeAar or
Orange river. AS the Daily Telegraph
says: Gen. French seems to be in a
position of a man having a tiger cat in a
trap and nable to kill it for want Of a
stick
A dispatch from Dover announces

SPEAKING MAsONICALLY.
George Davis, However, Did Not Get
His Loan.

George Davis, colored, made an effort to
borrow $3.50 from Henry Bowie, also col
ored, this morning by claiming that he was
a brother Mason. He introduced himself
to Bowie when he saw the latter wearing
a Masonic emblem. His story was that he
had sent to his brother for SO, and he only
wanted the use of SD 50 until he received
the money he had sent for.
I'm a brother Mason he said to Bowie.
and the latter responded, "If you are, there
is way to prove it,
Davis failed to offer the necessary proof,
and Bowie had him arrested.
He tried this game on me once before"
Bowie said to Judge Scott land [ thought
it was about time he was getting pun
ished."
Il was only talking to him Masonically,"
was Davis defense. And judge, your
honor" he added. II never knew of one
Mason having another arrested before"
There's no proof that you are a Mason"
Mr.. Pugh suggested.

Iier at Upper Marlboro. Md

Charles B. Collier of Philadelphia yester-
day purchased at public auction the Wash
ington and Potomac railroad. The price
paid was 100000. The sale took place at
the door of the court house at Upper Marl-
boro', Md, and was made by the Union
Trust Company, trustee, under decree OF
the United States circuit court, district of
Maryland, in foreclosing proceedings. The

interest of certain bondholders, who have
formed themselves into a syndicate for the
purpose of completing the road between
Point Lookout and this city.
The property sold was all of the railroad
of the Washington and Potomac Railroad
Company, beginning at Point Lookout at
the confluence Of the Potomac river and
the Chesapeake bay in St. Marys county
Mo. and running thence to this city. About
twenty-one miles OF this road has been
built and IS now in actual operation from
BIandywine, a station of the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad, in Prince Georges
county, to Mechanicsville, St. Marys
county.
The state of Maryland has $685. 900 in
vested in this road. being the money which
was appropriated for building through the
counties of Prince Georges, Charles AMI

THROWN FROM TRAIN
THREE COLORED MEN FROM WASH
INGTON THE VICTIMS.
One of Them Dies and the Others in
Serious COnditiOn-Encounte
in Freight Car.

Information was received at police head
quarters last night from the Baltimore au-
thorities of a fatal encounter on a freight
train near Stemmcrs Run Tuesday night.
III which three colored men from this city
were victims. Jacob Jones, one of the num-
Der, died from the injuries received, while
Isaiah Whitaker and Alfred Holmes were
so seriously injured that they had to be
taken to Baltimore hospital. The trouble
occurred a freight train between two
parties of colored men, who were beating
their way to Philadelphia. Jones received
bullet wound in the left breast and one
in his arm. Then he was thrown from the
train and both feet cut off. He died at
Johns Hopkins Hospital yesterday morning
Jones was twenty years old and lived with
his sister. Winnie Clark. at No. 121 18th
street northeast. Two brothers. Joseph and
Moses Jones, live al 764 Hicks street, Phila-
delphia. Whitakcr's home is on South Car
oliLa avenue while Holmes lived with his
sister, Mrs. Sullivan, at Nc. JOG 10th street
northeast. He was internally injured in
addition to being badly cut. and may die.
hitakerS body is covered with cuts and
bruises. and his face is so badly cut that he
cannot open his mouth.
How 1t Happened
The men left their homes in this CITY
Monday night. intending to go to Phladel-
phia, where they expected to get work.
They remained on the outskirts of Balti-
more all day Tuesday, and at night they
entered freight car on the tracks Of the
Philadelphia. Wilmington and Baltimore
railroad to go to Philadelphia Soon after
they entered the car the train started ami
was running at the rate of thirty miles an
hcur, when four other colored men in the
ca" demanded money of them. They ex-
pressed surprise that such demand should
be made and treated the affair as a joke
until they We're assaulted. Then they real
lZed that the men We're in earnest and all
they could do was to defend themselves
II soon became apparent that they were
powerless TO resist the attack. Knives and
pistols We're used, and after being cut and
beaten the Washington colored men were
thrown from the train. Several shots were
h1ed just about the time they We're forced
of the train. When Jones was found along
side the tracks yesterday morning he was
unconscious, and it was not known that
he had been shot until after he reached the
hospital The story of the tragedy was not
Known by the police until Holmes was
found. He gave the authorities descrip-
tions of the men and an effort is being
made to apprehend them. Relatives Of the
three victims called at police headquarters
today. Jones sister will bring his body
home for interment, and the injured men
will probably be brought here as soon as
they are able to stand the journey.
