"At Harpcrs Ferry on one occasion
the flood in the Potomac was so great
that 1t threatened the destruction Of
the costly railroad bridge, which was
seen to shake In it's unstcadincss," said
former Governor Thomas G. Jones.
"Wlen everybody present was looking
each moment to see the bridge go
down, President John, W. Garrett Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad arriv-
cd upon the scene. Approaching the
necessity of instant action, he gave an
abrupt order for a loaded train Of
freight cars standing on Il side track to
be run with the locomotive on to the
bridge and kept there.
But, Mr. Garrett, that is train

"The silk train was run on to the
bridge, and the structure was saved.
The silk was being sent by rail across
the continent from San Francisco, at
which port it had been received from
China and Japan. Garrett was IL great
man, one Of the greatest Of those who
have aided in the material development
Of America. In emergencies he was
very resourceful, rs was demonstrated
in perhaps Il small way by the Har-,

Cards on the Cars.

cards are not played as much on
the cars as they used to be-" said the
commercial traveller. "a few years
ago it was common sight to see three
or four games, whist, euchrc, poker or

ever four or five drummers were gath
cred together there was sure to be q
lively game Of draw in progress. SUBJ

muters were engaged in q rubber.
'But all this has been changed. Now
adays it Is the hardest thing in the

to take hand at whist or euchrc, and
he will freeze you with q suspicious
look. And, what is worse, he is entire
ly justified in his suspicious.
"In the last ten years the railroads Of
this country have been the harvest for
gamblers, bunko men and short card
experts. They have worked the field to
the limit, from New York to California
and from Vermont to Florida. They
have worked all kinds Of flimflam
