A QUEER RAILROAD.
Nantucket Has One Eight Miles Long
and But One Person Carries
q pas

[ .
"A rather curious and very econom.
ically managed railroad is the Nan
tueket Central, which runs between
Nantucket and Siasconset, a distance
OF about eight miles" remarked an old
resident of Martha's Vineyard to a
Washington Star writer recently. "A
rouEd-trip ticket on this road costs 50
cents for the passenger and so cents
for his trunk. 4 second trunk is ear
ried for 30 cents and a third for 20 cents,
but as the schedule allows for only
three trunks the conductor has on sew
eral occasions ruled that at the fourth
trunk he must begin over again at 50
cents. a ..
Only one pass is issued on the Nam
tucket Central, and that is used by the
proprietor of the road. The conductor
Is the general manager OF the road,
train dispatcher and division superin-
tenGent. The engineer is master me-
chanic, chief of transportation and
overseer of the road bed and track. The
fireman drives the express wagon and
keeps the books between trips. Last
year some $50 round trips were made,
and a novelty introduced during the
summer season was the entire aboli-
tion OF the steam whistle. partly be-
cause Of its waste of steam and partly
because it frightened the blue and
other fish off shore.
The rolling stock Of the road con-
s!sts of two locomotives and six or
seven antiquated passenger cars. The
earnings of the Central last year
amounted to about $4,000 and the op-
Grating expenses were a little over
S6OoO."

MISFORTUNE CAME IN CLOUDS.
New Jersey Family Was Visited by
an Extraordinary Series OF
MiShapS.

Francis Fielder, VINO lives at Turkey,
small village near New Brunswick,
y. j.. is wondering why misfortune is
persistently pursuing him and his
family, says the New York World.
Recently his son Edward fell from a
scaffolding at Long Branch and was
SO badly hurt that for a long time
his life was despaired of.
Then Mrs. Fielder slipped from the
stoop of her home, breaking her collar
bone and several ribs.
The next day Mr.. Fielder slipped on
some loose hay and fell out of the NOV.
He was shaken up so badly that he had
to keep inhis bed for several days.
Next favorite horse died of glanders
and all his live stock had TO be quaran-
!ined and the outbuiIdings disinftcted.
While this was being done a message
was received from son. at Asbury
Park, announcing that he had lost a
horss by theft.
The younger son, Garfield. was the
next victim of the family Nemesis.
tie was riding his wheel to work when
he ran into chicken and was thrown
against a post, having a collar bone
broken and shoulder dislocated.
Now that all the members of the
family and most of the live stock have
been victims of misfortunes in one way
or another, Mr.. Fielder hopes the fates
have been satisfied and that brighter
days are about to dawn.

RELEASED BY DEATH.

Dennis Nolen, Under Death Sem
tence, Died nc tine Jail Today
Dennis Nolen, the negro who
has been in Jail here for q long
time under sentence of death for
murder, died In the hospital ward
of the Jail this morning at $3.50.
The remains were taken to Browns
undertaking establishment where
they were prepared for burial.
The crime of which Nolen was
convicted was committed nearly
two years ago. He was charged
with killing his wife near Pauls
Valley. Feb. /, 1898. The MUIR
der was a very brutal one, his
victims brains being beaten out
with an ak.
Nolen was convicted and SEN
fenced to death, but subsequently
| an appeal was taken which was
still pending at the time of his
death.
The gallows for his execution
was built and since the appeal
was granted has been stored in the
Jail yard awaiting the necessity
for its erection.
i During his confinement Noler
became very religious and previous
to his removal to the hospita
ward was an energetic preacher
and exhorter at the Jail. His ill
ness has been a lingering one ant
for some time has been regarded
by the physician as fatal.
The principal witness agains
Nolen was his 13-year- old son, t.
whom he told his intention of kill
) ing his wife, the boy being an ey
witness to the murder.
Nolen's remains were interre,
in the negro cemetery north O

in addition to his other duties. to

four as Jail guard. relieving one
of the other men employed as
