WILD RIDE ON A SLEEPER
MAN CLUNG TO A VESTIBULED
COACH FOR HIS LIFE

WASECA, Mimi, March 7.-(SpeciaI)-
AS the evening eastbound passenger train
on the Northwestern pulled out of
Rochester the other night passenger
in the smoking compartment of the sleep
er noticed a man running to catch the
moving train, and, as he apparently
caught on the rear end, thought nothing
further about il.
After a while there was sound of
breaking glass and as though some one
was using a sledge hammer in the rear
vestibule. The occupant of the smoking
compartment stepped into lavatory and
found that its windows and been broken
and the floor was covered with fine bits
of glass. A look out of the window re-
vealed man hanging to the outside OF
the vestibule door, which was closed. 1t
at once flashed across the mind of the
gentleman that 1t must be the same man
he had seen running to catch the train
at Rochester, and that the poor wretch
found the vestibule door closed and was
consequently hanging on for dear life un-
til the next station was reached
When the porter opened the door the
half-frozen man fell into the vestibule
more dead than alive 1t was some time
before he could speak, as he was COM
pletely benumbed with cold, his hands
were stiff, and one of them was badly
bruised from breaking the window, and
one ear was badly frost-bitten The poor
fellow later said his name was John john
son and resided at Lamberton and was
going to Chicago. He got off at Roches-
ter for lunch, but had been little late
and caught onto the rear end Of the
sleeper, supposing he coufd open the door
and get in, but was unable to do so, and
In his desperation he had broken in the
window of the lavatory in the hope of
crawling in, but found it was too perilous
to attempt after he had broken the glass.
His hands had become numb and he was
Just waiting for snow bank to drop into
when, to his great JOY. the door was
opened and he was saved from death.
The man was rescued about ten milees
east of Rochester, and will probably not
soon forget his wild ride on the steps Of
the rear end of a sleeping car going at
z the rate of forty miles an hour, with the
temperature q degrees below zero.

WORLDS SHIP BUILDING.
Enormous PrepOnderance of Great
Britain In That Line.

WASHINGTON, March THE bureau
of foreign commerce has published inter
esting statistics as to international ship
building forwarded by Vice Consul Mur-
ply at Bremen. The German authori-
ties, from whom he quotes, direct especial
attention to the enormous preponderance
of England in the shipbuilding line, Eng
lish builders in 1899 produced tonnage, eX-
clusively of war vessels, only one-dfth
less than the entire steam fleet of Ger
many. Adding war vessels, aggregating
10000 tons, the total output of the Brit
ish ship yards was 1,5S4,000 tons. AL
though Germany occupies first place
after England in shipbuilding, she is,
nevertheless, England's best customer,
and last year took over 10000 tons from
England, although there was a total pro-
duction throughout the world outside of
England of $4,000 tons Of shipping. For
some years Germany has been at the
head of the list after England, being ex-
celled only in 1898 by the United States,
owing to the latter's activity in building
war vessels. Last year Germany turn
ed out $4,000 tons, as compared with $685.
600 tons for the United States. 1t is no.
ticeable that 10000 tons of Germany's
production was in war vessels, while the
United States output of war vessels was
only 5000 tons.
