draught Her engines developed 2O.0Ol
horse power during the test. On the las

LUCKY PREACHER

Makes Fortune in Mining Stocks and
Pays on Church Mortgage.
Shrewd investment in Arizona min
ing properties has raised Rev. Larkin
A. Rockwell, pastor of the West Pull
man M. E. church, from his position
as a struggling minister on small
salary to a man of affluence. Several
years ago he began buying stock in
the Azurite, Twine Beauties and other
old mines in Arizona. His investments
turned out SO profitably that short
time ago he was able to announce to
his congregation that he himself would
pay of the mortgage of $500 which
rested over the little church where he
presided as pastor. At the same time
he resigned his salary. as he said his
own income was adequate for the sup
port of his family. Rev. Mr.. Rock
well was formerly pastor Of the Sec
ond Methodist church at Englewood.
When he accepted the call to West
Pullman he found that church incum-
bered by a mortgage and the congre-
CATION hardly more than able to keep
up the interest. The mining invest
ments of Mr.. Rockwell are reputed to
have made him worth 100000. He is
at present in Arizona looking after
his investments. He has in view other
charitable dispensations on his return.

. Trsstis.
A high trestle bridge. . quarter of
mile long, supports the single track Of
the Nickel Plate railway across the
valley Of Grand river. Ohio. Recently
a young man crossed this bridge under
thrilling circumstances. A Cleveland
exchange tells the story. He was half
way across when . fast train rounded
the curve behind him. There was not
a moment to lose. and he quickened
his pace. not an easy task ON the ties.
AZ he neared the end the train was
close behind him. and he had Just time
to swing himself over the side of tho
bridge as the locomotive thundered by.
The ends Of the ties were slippery
with grease. and his foot slipped as
1t eft the track. His right hand,
stretched out blindly. touched an iron
brace. and he clutched 1t. Then for
4 moment he swung in space, and
in another his left hand found 4 place
beside his right. and his feet touched
a welcome beam below. With bleed
ing fingers clutching the slender iron
bar that bent and vibrated, moments
seemed hours; but at length the train
passed. and the young man was able
to climb slowly to the track above. and
crawl over the ties to arm ground.
