Balky Engineer Delays a
Train.

Although Eugene V Debs has
received no definite information
bearing on the subject there was,
nevertheless, strike on the Chi
cago q Northwestern railroad in
this city yesterday afternoon that
delayed at least one train several
hours. AS is usually the case in
matters pertaining to happenings
on the railroad the obtainable facts
relating to the affair are rather
meager, but from reports around
the depot the affair was brought
about by disagreement between
the engineer and conductor of the
train in question. When the
freight train arrived here from
Council Bluffs about l O'clock
bound for Boone, the engineer left
his cab and baked, and further
more ho stayed balked with the
determination of a Mississippi
mule. He refused to remain in
charge of the engine a minute lon
ger. Entrea'ies, threats and prom
ises were freely given, but they
had not the least effect on the
steam jerker. Finally, owing to
the fact there was not another
engineer available at the time, the
train was backed onto side track
and there it remained until about
$50, when another engineer ar
rived from the east in charge of q
west bound freight train and after
q short delay in making the change
the delayed freight was started
out for Boone in charge of the re-
cent arrival, about five hours late.
The balky engineer went to Boone
last night riding on the cushions
on train No. 16, and it is safe to
venture the assertion there is "con-
siderable doing" on the "carpet"
at headquarters in Boone today.

Over The Ocean Wave.


According to previous arrangement,
the European Travel Club, started on
their tour from the home Of Mrs. E. A
B0ies, on Monday at 3 o'clock, p. m,
under the chaperonage of Mrs. c. w.
Mct1avren.
No halts we're made by the party un-
til they arrived at New York harbor,
where they tarried a short time to watch
the busy scenes and become sccustOm-
ed to the wonderous throb and tremor
of the erest sea monsters, one Of which
was to carry them over the abyss. Mrs
McGavren had made diligent enquiries
concerning the relative merits of the
several steamship lines, as we'll as the
cost of the trip. In reply to enquiries
made Mrs. McIavren informed the
company that they could by very SIM
pie method almost invariably tell to
what steamship line vessel belongs
by learning the name of the vessel, as
the names of the steamers of the Gun
ard line uniformly end with the two
v0wels IA. those Of the White Star line
end with the letters IC The American
line, which only sails from the Phila-
delphta harbor and bear the name Of
some great city; the French line always
prefix the French LA to the name Of
its steamers. Thus every Steamship
line has ITS own easily recognizable
nomenclature.
AS soon as the party were safe upon
board, Mrs. E A Boies conducted them
through the state rooms, explaining
the nautical terms, calling attention Ia
the many gambling devices carried on
and advised each one to remain on
deck as much as possible and lie at full
length we'll wrapt up on their sea chair
The terrible solitude of the ocean
seemed to impress the travellers the
most, as whole days were passed with.
ont sighting single sail. One f0rtu.
nate thing-not one tourist suffered the
least seasickness.
The passengers drew long sigh 0i
relief 90 land was first sighted, but Mrt
Stoddard informed them the greatest
danger begins ss they got nearer to the
shore. and she explained the unpleas
antness OF the necessary trip to shore
IN the sea tugs which come out to NEE,
the passengers and take them to land
When the harbor of Queenstown wa,
reached, Mrs. B. w. Carlisle explained
the civil government Of the Island.
Mrs. McGavren, with the aid of {
m sp, acquainted ell with the geogra
ply and topography of the country
Mrs. Frank Carlisle read q comparison
bet ween Erin of one hundred years ago
and at the present time.
The club feel they have adopted .
very charming plan for their study O
the coming months. The papers reat
will not be original productions bu
will be carefully selected description,
and papers from the writings Of th,
most observsnt European travellers
thereby enabling them to get we'll au.
thenti0sted information as we'll as the
most; recent accounts of the govern
ment, life and social condition of tn,
countries through which they vii
travel. The cities and literature o
these countries will also be inquired
into, % we'll % the history. and biogra
ply Of. men who have made themselves
famous along all lines.

SHARKS GOT THE FIsHERMANP

SHARKS GOT THE FISHERMAN?
To the belly of q ten.foot shark cap
tured Tuesday night by the crew OF the
lishtship of Charleston bar there was
found Wednesday the left arm OF ne
gro. Since the drowning OF fifteen fisb-
erman near the lightsbip on Friday last
a school Of sharks has been skirting the
water and several fishing boats have
gone for the purpose of making cap
frues. Lste Tuesday night big shark
which swan near the ligbtshlp nibbled
at hook attached to q rope and by
good strong pull be was landed. There
was q desperate struggle lasting for
nearly ten minutes, but the shark was
finally overpowered and dragged on
deck.
Other sharks ran near the ship. al
though they Kept away from the hooks.
When the shark had been killed 1t was
decided to cut open the belly to see II
he had been fessting on the Fl hermen.
The arm of negro was found. The
bone had been snapped oil above the
elbow. There was nothing by which 1t
could be identified.
No trace Of the fifteen lost fishermen
can be found, and 1t is thought that the
sharks devoured the bodice. Cd salts
ct Charleston, 8. O., think that the
sharks were OF the man.eating kind.
and IL is said that the condition OF the
arm shows it was torn of In struggle.
Sharks are numerous of the coast,
but they are not known to have eaten
people alive. The discovery of the arm
has excited the fishermen. to such 40
extent that they are afraid to venture
far from land.
