II am going to my place Of business. "
What is your business?" queried
Mr. Voegler
"The Lord has appointed me general
manager Of the world. and | am going
TO take charge this morning.
What was your business before you

izing that he had a lunatic to deal
with.
'rOh, I was a brioklayer. And |
know my business )" replied Justin.
VERY man want" said the Deputy
Sheriff. and be invited the man to get
into the jumper and accompany him,
on the pretence that he wanted him to

A FERRY ACCIDENT.

The failure of Engineer Hickman,
of the ferry steamer Norfolk County,
TO understand signal from the pilot
house. was responsible for n rather
serious accident between and s
o'clock yesterday morning. as the boat
entered the Portsmouth ferry slip.
The signal given the engineer is said
to have been to reverse his engines,
but instead of that the engines were
started ahead. sending the boat smash
ing into the landing float with a force
which threw passengers off their feet.
The float buckled upward and the bow
of the steamer slid under 1t, carrying
away her gate stanchions and dam
aging her guard and side rails. a
colored passenger was thrown down
and came near rolling off the deck into
the slip. A large number of navy-yard
worSmen were aboard the ferry steam
or at the time. and as is their usual
custom, We're massed on the front end
ready to make quick landing as soon
as the gates should he raised. When
it became apparent that there was go
ing to be n smash the workmen scat
tered, and the boat forward was clear
ed of its human fright In n surprising
ly short time. No one was injured. In
consequence of the accident Engineer
Hickman was suspended from duty.
