After it became known that an acct
dent had occurred on the Chesapeake
Beach Railway last Monday there was
great excitement among those having
friends at the Beach, as well as among
others whose friends and relatives had
gone down on the Sunday School ex-
cursion in the morning, and the local
Offices of the company were besieged
for information. To every anxious in
quirer the president of the road, Mr..
Otto Mears, told the exact truth, say
ing, 1.-TWO men we're killed, but no pas.
sengers were injured So far as we
know, he is the first railway president
who ever told the truth about an acci.
dent on his road. The community
owes him a vote Of thanks.

Enrlish Manners Abroad.

With the exception Of the writer AND
her mother, all the people in the house
were French. One day the manager
asked his guests if they would mind
having the middle day table d'hote a
little earlier, as a dejeuner for a num-
Der of English eXcursionists had been
ordered for 1890 o'clock. While the
company were still seated the "excur-
sionists" arrived Some fifty men and
women came gathering and chattering
into the room. Many Of the men kept
their hats on and continued to smoke
their pipes Some of them even sat
down at the table at whicA the hotel
guests were lunching, and called out
loudly to their friends who were still
in the 1all to hurry up. The French
people shrugged their shoulders and
murmured LES Anglais," and the En-
glish lady and her mother for the
first time in their lives felt ashamed
of their nationality. The English ex-
cursiOnists meant no harm. In their
boisterous John Bullism they took
upon themselves as masters of every
place in which they are going 70
spend money.-The Referee.

A LOAD or HAY.

A load OF hay IN the street to-day,
And its meadow.fragrance sweet
Comes floating in through the open
pane
OF my window over the street
And my heart turns hack, DER the dusty
track,
From the city's wh'rl and Jar,
To the fair green fields, and the shady
lanes,
And the lake so dim and far.
The sun shines hot in the meadow lot,
With its tossing emerald plumes,
Its sunfowers brave, and its lilies fair,
And its legion of clover blooms.
The sturdy mowers, with shining blades
tHow they glittered and cleaned in the
sun)
And the boy with the rake, who trudged
in the wake
OF the wagon when all was done.

Moving tho Great ob.li.E.

The work Of moving the great
Egyptian obelisk from Alexandria to
New York was managed by Commo-
dore H. II. Gorringe, U. S. N. The Of
ficer reached Alexandria October 16,
1879. and at once began work with
100 Arabs. The. machinery for lower
ing the monolith was then attached,
and the block was laid in a horizontal
position. The obelisk was then re-
moved to the wharf and upon the
steamer waiting for 1t, by means Of
cannon balls rolling In metal grooves.
The steamer bearing this freight left
Alexandria. June IL. 1880, and arrived
at Staten Island July 20. The iron
tracks and cannon balls were adjusted
after some delay and on these the
monolith was unloaded September 16.
Next the rise and fall of the tide was
used to float 1t up the North river, and
land 1t at the foot of Ninety-sixth
street, whence 1t was moved by steam
power on tracks with rollers.

MAGIC OF FIGURES.
Trick In simple Subtraction That Will
Puzzle Every One.

Trick In Simple Subtraction That Will
Puzzis Every One.
You can never tell what figures will
do. OF course they are truthful. il
properly handled. but some OF them
are capable of the most bewildering
antics. Here is a method by which
figures may be made to tell secrets In
q way that will astonish those who
are not informed about how to do the
figuring" Ask some person to put
down unknown to you number COM
posed of three figures (say 1922. Tell
him to transpose the figures (making
26D and to subtract the lesser from
the greater. Then ask him to tell you
the first figure of the result, and you
can tell him the entire number. For
Instance, your first number In the
present axample is 1852, which trans
posed makes 267. Subtract 267 from
762 and you have 495. The only fig
ure that you are told is 4. the first
of the result. All you have to do is
to subtract from 9, which will give
you 5. the last figure. and the central
figure Is always g.. So your number
will be 495. This is true in all cases
where only three figures are used in
making up number. The central
figure will always be when the trans
posed number is subtracted from the
original number. and the two end
figures when added together will make
8. 30, knowing either the first or last
figure of the result Won can give the
entire number.

the amount of coal consumed increases
very rapidly with the speed For e1-
ample, 1t requires twice as much coal
to drive a steamer at speed Of fifteen
knots as would be consumed at a speed
Of ten knots, and four times as much
to send the same vessel eighteen knots.
For every knot beyond that speed, to
speak in general terms, the consump-
ton Of coal will be doubled. Hence
the naval constructors hold that the
consumption of coal required to cross
the Atlantic in four days will make
SUCH a voyage impracticable from a
commercial standpoint

IDENTITY OF MEN IMPLICATED IN
WELLAND CANAL OUTRAGE

Buffalo May 1.-THE Express tomorrow
will say that Inspector John w. Murray has
found out the history of John Nolan and John
Walsh two of the three alleged Thoroid dyna-
miters and has woven a web of evidence so that
it seems to bind Karl Dallman, the third pris-

telescopes to the other two.
The most interesting features of the long story
told by the inspector while in Buffalo on his re-
turn trip to Toronto are as follows;
About April 10 Nolan received communica-
tion from lodge known in secret circles as the
Napper Tandy Club, Clan-na-Gael organiza-
ton, to the executive or inner council OF the
Fenians. The Inspector says it met at Tom
MoOre's hall at Third-ave and Sixteenth-st.,

were members of the Napper Tandy. Nolans
instructions sent to him in Richmond wers FOR
him to go to Washington, get John Walsh ana
go to Philadelphia, where the two were to meet
third man. who would give them further in
structions as tC what to do.
Nolan and Walsh went to Philadelphia, as
directed, where they met stranger, who
handed Nolan S100. and gave him two railroad
tickets to Buffalo The stranger arranged with
Nolan and Walsh that they should leave the
same night. and on arrival at Buffalo go to the

Dallman left Buffalo together. taking a trolley

leaving il at MerrittOn, Canada, and thence
went to Thorold. Inspector Murray says Dali
man showed Nolan and Walsh the spot to place
the dynamite.
The interval up to April 20 is filled in with
detailed account of the changes of abode made
by the trio. The narrative continues:
Walsh took the dynamite into Canada At 3:15
O'Clock on Friday afternoon, April 20, he
ried one of the bags of dynamite over, and at
o'clock Saturday afternoon he carried
the explosion, Nolan and Walsh were to take
the train for Buffalo, and were given money by
Dallman.
Asked where Dallman comes from, Inspector
Murray said:
