machines started for each other. There
was no chance for run of more than
engines probably could not have got

mile start. AS it was, they were run

the point of contact. Nearer and near

thousand people who spread over the
entire field being fastened intently on
the spectacle. Just before the moment
Of contact there was an involuntary
gasp, some excited calculations on the
dart of the audience. Then came the
collision and the show was over.
There was no loud crash, no smash
ing, grinding noise-just dull, hard
thud. And that was all. For a min
ute the wreck was enveloped in a cloud
Of steam and smoke, so that it was i'm
possible to see what damage had been
done. Then it was cleared away and
the people made rush to get closer
view.
The two engines had run squarely
into one another, each at about the
same rate of speed. Each was about

age looked to be much less than might
have been anticipated. The two pilots
had been smashed, the fronts of both
had given away about equally and they
stood on the track, facing each other
and partly telescoped. The impact had
been great, but the force had been so
evenly divided between the two engines
that neither had gained any advantage.
The real damege was probably less
than though there had been a marked
difference in weight, speed or strength
between the two opposing forces. At
any rate both stood their ground and
neither left the track.
The crowd had been kept back from
the point Of collision several hundred
feet to avoid the possibility of acct
dent, but the precaution was unneces-
sary. There was no flying debris-in
fact there was no debris of any sort.
There was not the slightest danger
that anyone who had stood within 20
feet of the two engines would have
been hurt.
Of course, the old machines were
spoiled for railroad use, but a little re-
pairing in the shops would put them in
condition again. They looked as if
they were on the road to the scrap
iron heap anyway and the entertain
ment they furnished yesterday only
fastened their end.-Rochester Herald.

OLD-TIME BASEBALL TRICKS.
Pitcher Had Gum ON the Ball and
ShortstOp a Fly-Paper Glove.

Had Gum on the Ball and
shortstop a Fly-Paper Glove.
You may talk about the sweeping
curves and the parabolic shoots of
present day baseball pitchers"
said the fat man who was at one
time mascot for the Lightfoot Lilies
of Jones county, "but there isn't one
of them that could have held a candle
to old Dean Braley the last season he
did the twirling for the famous Ring
tail Roarers. He'd probably be in the
business now if the Lightfoot Lilies
hadn't exposed his tricky methods in
their annual game with the Roarers
that summer. The funny part of it was
that the season before he couldn't pitch
anything bu a straight ball, and even
the high-school teams used to touch
him up for dozen hits or so every
game. AS for us, we smothered him.
But the very next season he blossom
ed out with those wonderful curves.
Why, a visitor to town said that in one
game he saw Braley pitch an outcurve
so close to the plate that the batter
struck at it. The ball kept right on
curving until it came around toward
first base and caught therunner nap
ping. The next ball pitched was an in
shoot which not only drew another
strike on the batter, but which curved
around to third base and caught run
ner there. The catcher, according to the
visitors story, wasn't really needed,
but played in the field, just to fill out
the batting list.
well, of course we put all such talk
as this down as hot-air fund contri-
buttons, but we knew that there must
be some foundation in the reports that
Braley was pitching very slick base
ball. And right We were. When the big
game came along he put it all over us,
and for eight innings not one of us
touched first except the first baseman
When ne was in the field. Bull Thomp-
son, Home Run Hawkins, and even
Captain Slugger Burrows himself were
all at Braley's mercy. They struck at
outs they couldn't reach; they let ms
go by that shot over the plate-in fact,
they did everything but connect with
the ball. Then came the fatal exposure
IN the ninth. Little Sammy Salmon, the
first man up of us, fell fiat on his face
to dodge the first ball pitched, but it
curved square over the rubber for a
strike. The next one was one of Bra
ley,s slew Change balls, and Sammy
held his bat out to bunt. Thud! You,
can imagine his surprise when he start
ed for first to find the ball stuck fast
to the end of the bat.Dean Braley
made a rush for him, but the boys held
him back, and the secret was out.
The Roarers' pitcher had been stick
ing chewing gum on the ball, and the
extra twist obtainable made his Won
derful curves possible. The umpire. of
course, forfeited the game to the Lilies
to 0. But that wasn't the end. The
Roarers had discovered that Captain
Slugger Burrows wore f1y-paper mitt
at shortstop, and although the most
ignorant child knows that fy-paper is
made for catching flies, the umpire
gave the game to them also, making
the score tie, to 9. What followed is
best left untold. AS the Jones County
Courier said, it was game of for
feits with the kissing left OUT"

An open letter to the editor Of the Met
calfe's X-Ray:
The article that appeared in the
X-Ray, bearing date July &c. 1900, in
reference to Joseph G. Miller, candidate
for the office of railroad and warehouse
commissioner, was, to say the least, a
reflection on the honesty of the railroad
men of Two Harbors, in fact reflec-
ton on the same men that were so will
ling and ready to offer that same as
sistance to Mr.. Metcalfe when he came
to Two Harbors in need of it that they
are now offering to Mr.. Miller, yet Mr..
Metcalfe brands it shame and a pre-
tence, thereby casting a slur on the
honesty of men who put aside their
personal political opinions to place a
man on the railroad and warehouse
commission who would represent their
interests. Mr.. Miller was induced to
become candidate for that office by
myself and other members of the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Firemen of
1tasca Lodge No. 401, and also received
the hearty cooperation of the other
railroad orders in Two Harbors and
with them all the lodges in the state.
The organized railroad men of Duluth
and PrOctOrknott can substantiate nv
statement.
The Endorsement of the B. Of L. e.

I write in compliance with a request
from members of our lodge who are
justly indignant, and in this case
amounts to command to answer your
paper, which places them in the light of

choosing for an office instead Of one OF
our men.

ranged Collision Very Tame.
1t takes several days to arrange q
railroad wreck to order, but after all
the show itself can by no possibility
be prolonged longer than one second.
There is just one crash, smash-then
it's all over.
1t is difficult to understand what else
the people could have expected who
traVled down to the driving park in
the hot sun yesterday afternoon to
witness the widely advertised head on
collision of two railroad engines and
tenders. Certainly they could not have
expected an encore. They could not
have anticipated anybody was foolish
enough to provide an accident to add
to the excitement-not for so cents.
Yet something was evidently expected
in an indefinite sort of way more than
was seen. For after it was over the
universal question was asked" Is that
ALP In fact most people seemed un-
reasonable enough to wonder whether
they had their moneys worth of ex-
citement.
Yet everything was pulled off ex-
actly as advertised. Two engines were
on parade on the rails that had been
laid on the back stretch of the old
race track during the entire afternoon.
They were not of the modern tpye.
such as could be used in drawing the
Empire State or the Black Diamond
express. They showed none of the
brightness of brass that characterizes
the new style monsters. But they were
engines, and that was in accordance
with the advertisement. They had
served their purpose in their day,
drawing freight trains on the peanut
road, and having outlived their USE
fulness in the railroad business they
served as well as any other to make
Fourth of July holiday for the Roches-
ter public.
| For several hours before the wind
up the old engines ran back and forth
on the improvised tracks, wheeling and
puHlng and groaning with the labored
efforts. The exhibition was on the
north side of the grounds. There was
no accommodation for seating the peo-
pie and the hot sun poured down mer-
cllessly on the heads of the spectators,
who stood around in the grass and
waited for something to happen. The
event was scheduled for 3 o'clock, but
1t was an hour later when the tracks
were cleared by the special police and
the long anticipated show began.
The two ramshackle old engines were
backed up to the ends Of the track and
