1 Doga along Wasog street they ele SIN
talking about that sticky cargo in which
Capt. Aiian ksmick, OF me david FaustD.
came near getting stuck. He took load
of asphsitum in barrels. He was con-
signed below the bridges in Boston, but
on arriving there the consignees wanted
him to go up through the bridges to Cam
bridge. He said he would do 1t IL they
would pay towage and discharge him.
| They hsmmed and Hawsd and offered aim
SO, which he refused. Finally they came
to Capt. Rem.ok's terms and signed con
tract to that effect, When the cargo was
| opened 1t was found that the barrels ia
the hold had leaked, some had burst, and
Il cost the consignees 400 to discharge
that cargo. II they had decided to dis.
charge the cargo below bridges, Capt.
Remick would have been almost as badly
stuck as the cargo.
| Ellsworth friends of Frank A. McDon-
aid, OF Pittsburg, Pa, are glad to learn
that he has mounted another round In
| the ladder Of success. From assistant
chief engineer of the Pittsburg Coal Co
| he has become chief engineer OF the BIZ
luminous coal districts OF the United
States Steel corporation. His retirement
from the Pittsburg Coal Co. was made
the occasion for testimonial from his
| fellow employees OF the company. A
Pittsburg paper reports it as follows:
1.-The employees OF the engineering de-
partment of the Pittsburg Coal Co.
| assembled il the Office OF the chief en-
giueer, E. j. Taylor, yesterday afternoon,
and Mr.. Taylor, in behalf Of the en-
ployees, presented to F. A. Mcdonald, the
| retiring assistant chief engineer, an ele-
CANT bronze statue as an appreciation of
the regard and esteem which they enter
tanned for him. Mr.. Mcdonald was so
taken by surprise that he could hardly
express his thanks, which he did ia few
well-chosen words"
E. H. Greedy has just received a letter
from T. E. Drake, an Ohio horseman, tell
ing him something Of two year-old flly
which he saw at the Lexington meeting
recently. The fiily is a full sister OF MIR.
Greeiy's 'Leavitt'. She is handsome
bay, 15A hands. Mr.. Drake writes that
the FLY was worked in the spring and
shipped to the Detroit meeting, where
she was taken sick, shipped home and
turned out. She was taken up again
late in August, and two weeks ago
was worked three miles in 30, 25
and 24A respectively. She went the
last half OF the last mile in 1904, and
the last quarter of the second mile in 1914.
Mr. Drake says il she had kept well she
would have beaten 20 this year. Natur-
ally this is good news for Mr.. Greedy,
especially coming as it does on top OF the
performance OF two of Leavitt's half
brothers at Saugus, Mass, last week.
One of them won an eightheat race,
getting mark of 2.131s, and the other
won a six-heat race, going somewhere
about 220.
