A BABY ON THE TRACK.-A passen
ger train on the Cape May branch OF
the Reading Road came bowling down
the road near Folsom, N. j., Monday
afternoon. Across the farm Of Antonio
Capuccio it has level stretch, and
from his seat in the cab the engineer
saw on the tracks ahead the Tiny hgurt
OF Farmer Cspuccio's 15-months-od
baby, which he had often seen toddliog
about the place. The brake shoes spi,
fire as they ground against the stetl
wheel rims uoder the sudden pressure
of the cir chamber. The passengers
were suddenly jolted from their reveries
and seats, and the engine whistle
shrieked with unwonted energy. The
engineer crowded on breaks, tugged st
the throttle and, reversing the lever,
turned his head and waited. The little
one on the track ahead smiled merrily
az 1t saw the big engine coming, ana
heard the bell changing and the whistle
roaring. but it couldn't hear its frantic
mothers cries as she rushed wildly to-
ward the railroad. Something, how
ever. prompted it to step aside as the
train sped on. The sep of the engine
tender struck it and threw it into a
field. The train was stopped, and the
white.'aced engineer walked slowly
back to do what was necessary for a
corpse. He found the mother hugging
the babe to her breast. Its head was
cut bit-tbst wss all.

A REMARKABLE STORY.

A dispatch from Huntington, w. Va,
says: On Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
Mrs. WslttrJ Swanson gave birth to
iriple 6. An hour later Mrs. Howard
E. Swanson similarity surprised her huj-
Uap0.
The circumstances are extraordinary.
Less than year ago Dorothy and Par-
thenia Freeman, twin sisters, were the
bellies of Breeden, mining village OF
south VT stern West Virginia. Living
Inside vi the town, their happy farm
home was the scene of much gayety,
and many were the country beau who
offered their heart and band to either OF
of the beautiful girls. SO alike were
they that oitentimes the lovesick swan
became mixed with regard to the object
of his devotion. Whether this bad any
thing to do with their lack of success
cannot be said, but all were turned
away until Walter J. and Howard E.
Swanson, dashng young timber men,
and also twins, came on the scene. They
were as alike as we're the girls. Quickly,
however, love cooquered them. With
in three weeks after the first meeting
the happy marriage bells rang out ir
the village church. Never, perhaps,
have four people been married when
brides and grooms were respectively so
much alike. They settled on the broso
acres Of the old freeman homestead 4,
and now each tather is the happy pos
SCISSOR OF three bouncing babies. Walter
Swanson declares that his q pounds
of girls are much more to be desired
than Howard's 80 pounds of boys, and
says that the only thing he regrets is
that he can't name one of bis girls for
BRYAN, but be has done the best be
could under the circumstances by call
ing them Willie, Jennie and Bryana,
while bis brother Howard, who is the
stsnchest OF stanch republicans, glories
in being the happy father of Hanna,
Mckinley and Teddy. A great
many people have been to call upon
the new arrivals and several handsome gifts
have been presented to them. Among the
visitors Wednesday were Hon. A. b. White,
republican candidate for Governor and Judge
John II. Holt, democratic candidate for gov
ernor of West Virginia, who are now speak
10 that section. Both Of the gentlemen were
much cbsgrined that neither had been hon.
ored in the selection OF names for the little
Swansors, and offered in case of political sue
cess, 10 remember the family if the name
could be changed. The parents refused
however, and Judge Holt laughingly said :
"I'll be perfectly satisfied if you'll remembe'
me next time, though don't know whette'
you will do it or not, because I'm democ
and it looks like you are gong into baby
trust" strsightwaY. however, the agreement
was made, and that night when the children
we're baptized Judge Holt acted as godfather
for ell three OF the little democratic girls.
