Three Stories of tephen Crane

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 Crane had a water bottle with him on the day of the Guasimas fight, and the party got near the field hospital a negro pushed forward and begged for a drink of water. There was very little left in the bottle, but Crane let the negro drink 1t all. Then he remarked grimly: It's lucky for you, old man, that it wasn't beer. I don't mind
 sharing my last drop of water with any
 body, but I'd you d. before I'd give you my last drop of beer.' After the surrender of Santiago two rival correspondents set sail on a yacht for Por- to Rico. Their most treasured possessions were six bottles of beer. They agreed not to touch it until General Miles expedition was sighted
 On the third day they sighted a tugboat, from which came the megaphoned inquiry:
 Say, have you fellows got any beer?"
 Both correspondents sprang to their feet simultaneously, exclaiming, That's Crane. Then ,as loudly as the megaphone could make 1t, they shrieked: Mot a drop!'
 But Crane's thirst was not to be cut of so easily. In 10 minutes he was along | side in a rowbpat.
 You fellows can carry me to St. Thom- | as if you like. I'm sick of that tugboat It l isn't congenial" Once on board. Crane announced that 1 he was tired and went below. An hour l later his hosts found him slumbering peace l fully with the six empty bottles beside his l trunk. Later on, when apologies might ! have been expected to be in order, Crane remarked briefly: Beer isn't good for you i fellows, anyway; it would only make you ! fat"
 During the fight at Guantanamo Dr. ! Gibbs, who was killed few hours later in l the engagement, Crane and three other correspondents who had just arrived as | the battle began. were lying fiat on their ] stomachs on the brow of the hill. The bull 1 lets were flying about pretty thick when one of the men who had known Crane in l New York said:
 "I say. Crane, how does this compare | with your Red Badge of Courage?"
 'Oh, ID said Crane. This isn't half | as exciting"

A BRAVE BOY
He Waded in Deep Water to Save a
 Passenger Train

scottsboro, July 1.-(speciaL)-At noon on Wednesday, a terrific rain fell in this county ,and developed the fact that all the heroes are not in the army and navy. One and half miles north of Stevenson, this county, is the sawmill plant of Card and Card. A switch has been put in at that place from the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway. The branch that flows through the lumber yard over1owed, wash- ing lumber, rails and other debris on to the railroad track and filling both main line and switch. James Dunn, teamster for Card and Card, has two small boys, who frequently play in the lumber yard. One of them noticed the track just before No. 1 passenger was due. He waded in above his waist and had just cleared the track when the train thundered by. Had it not been for the boy the train would have been wrecked, as there is a curve just north of the switch on the railroad and the en- gineer could not have stopped the train in time There were no others near by at the time except the boy, and the prompt &C., ton of him no doubt saved the life of many persons.
 A dasteredly attempt was made to wreck the eaStbound Southern passenger train Friday morning, The train Is fast one between Memphis and Chattanooga. This morning it ran into seven or eight crossties piled up across the track at a short distance from Paint Rock, this coun- ty. Fortunately the engneman saw the ties in time to save his train by shutting off his engine. The only damage done was the smashing of two ribs in the pilot. There were a number of passengers aboard and a wreck would have caused great loss of life, as we'll as property.

right track. and / would rectify my mis-
takes the next year. l want to do right
by the people who elected me-
you failed to appear here when noti-
fed to do so, and when you could have
explained matters to this board.' re-
marked Mr.. Morgan.
1.-THE trouble seems to be that this
board arbitrarily fixed days for the in
spection of some of the taxing districts
without considering the convenience and
engagements of the local assessors said
Mr.. Hannah. Il notified you in advance
that it would be impossible for me to be
with you on the day fixed l think that
my engagements should have been consid-
cred as well as yours"
I'VE could not postpone the inspection
of your district until the next day.. ex-
planned Mr.. Mclean. 1--WE had a schedule
fixed and the other assessors had been no
titled of it,
II don't consider that this 25 per cent.
increase is right Had I had known that
this would have been done would have
left the valuations as they were and this
board could have increased them," was
Mr.. Hannan's parting shot
Assessor Joseph Kennel of North Ber-
ge nasked:-'sDo you consider it equalizing
when you average me at As per cent. and
the Town of Union at AZ. and then add 10
per cent to both.
I'VE consider the poorer as well as the
better class of property in your taxing
district" replied President Morgan
Assessor Possehl. of Secaucus, then
asked if he understood that the com
missioners wanted an average assessment
OF so per cent of values next year
We recognize the fact,'' replied Presi-
dent Morgan, that between the asking
ana obtainable price of property there is
large margin and we feel that if the
assessors of the North Hudson taxing
districts will figure on 90 per cent of the
asking price they will come near present
vale''

Hollander and lrishman Quar-
rel Over Boer War and
Come to Blows.

A dispute over the Boer war caused the
death of Michael Hayes, forty-five years
cid, of No. 35S Fifth street, Hoboken.
Hayes died in st. Mary's Hospital from
concussion of the brain. His assailant,
Henry Hecker, thirty-seven years old,
who lived in the same house, is now under
arrest charged with manslaughter.
The dispute which resulted in Hayes 5
fatal injuries occurred at $50 o'clock on
the afternoon of July 30. Hayes was sit
ting on the porch in front of his home
reading newspaper when Hecler, who
is a Hollander, came out and asked him
about the news.
THE latest" replied Hayes, sis that
5000 of your countrymen have surrendered
to General Roberts,
Hecker disliked the tone in which Hayes
spoke, and he replied, it is alleged
You uncultivated Irish hog. It's pity
that it was not 5000 of your low Irish
countrymen.''
Other words followed between them,
and finally they came to blow in the
street.
Hecker struck the first blow and Hayes
fell backwards striking his head on the
curbstone and receiving severe wound.
He was taken to the hospital in semi
conscious condition and remained SO until

In the evening Mr.. James j. Johnson
was presented with handsome silver
medal by the employees of Herig's. One
day last week Johnson rescued a little
child from drowning in the canal at the
foot of panforth avenue and the medal
was to commemorate the rescue
Mr.. Johnson has a record of rescues.
Once Darby, Creek, Pickaway coun-
ty, Ohio, after heavy rains was swollen
to twice its natural size. When the water
starts to rise it does so with a rush. 4
woman and her two children were caught
on a small island. Johnson went to their
rescue on a log. He brought them all
safely to shore. At another time, ia the
same creek, a man was caught by the
flood He took to a tree and was seen
from the shore about three hundred yards
away. Johnson could get no boat, but
finally found dining table made of pine
Launching the table he made his way to
the tree and brought the man to the
shore in safety.
While riding along the Columbus and
Chilocothe stage route one night, johnson
heard cries for help. Following the voices
he came to the shore of the Darby Creek.
There had been a flood and the creek was
raging torrent. A man was seen cling
ing to a tree In the middle of the creek.
Without waiting a moment Johnson fore
ed his horse into the creek and swan the
horse as near the man as he could. He
then threw the man a rope which he had
attached to his saddle. Owing to the
heavy flood he could not pull the man to
his horse. but had to tow him ashore
When they reached the shore the man
was dead.
The rescue last week was of a very
small child. The mother of the child was
in Herig's Shore House and she let the
child run about playing. The child wan-
dered out to the banks of the canal. See
ing stick in the water the child reached
for it and fell in. johnson was close by
and he promptly jumped in after the
child clothes and all. Joseph Filoramo
also jumped to the rescue but johnson
got there first. The medal presentation
was made by Joseph Filoramo.

that when the asphalt was laid the earth
sank and the street was full OF depres-
sions. The inspector would not accept the
work. Several times repairs have been
made butsfo no purpose.
The company began yesterday to rip up
ing the job Id satisfactory manner The
