"one pitchy dark night. early last
summer" said the fat engineer TO a
New York sun reporter, Il was com
ing east with a fast freight. As we
were approaching the top of Pecano
hin noticed some kind of light NOV
ing way up i'm the sky. First ! thought
IL was new star. but as the sky was
all beclouded and / could see no other

big rubber bag. made frantic jerk
at the whistle valve. but, instead of the
sonorous sound it usually handed off,
the noise it gave out then was like
the shrek of penny horn. You
couldn't hear it for a ear length.
Il was getting mighty scared, be-
cause | didn't know what kind of n
game we'd butted into. The rubber
covering had settled down over the
cab windows and was shutting off the
outside atmosphere from me so that
/ could hardly breathe, and Issurely
thought | would suirocate unless | got
relief somehow. No one On the train,
not even my fireman, knew what dire

completely cut off.
II tried the whistle again, but it
was smothered so by its covering that
it hardly gave forth any sound at all.

added greatly to my discontinue, but
| realized that my only hope would be

steam with sufficient pressure TO lift
the rubber covering.
after two or three minutes had
elapsed, during which time steam had
been blowing off steadily with a heavy
pressure. the rubber bag began TO lift
and finally tore itself away, although
it took with it large section of the
cab roof. l was pretty nearly exhaust
ed. bur I managed to reverse the en-
CINE and call for brakes. With the
assistance of the brakemen the train

find out what had hit the cab and chung

in the night, do all the chores he was
in the habit of doing in the morning
and return TO bed without awaken
ing. One night he took his bed apart,
carried it down to the parlor, set IL
up there and slept half the night in

was awakened. On another night he
had hitched up n team and was driv-
ing off to work when his father
walked him up.
Before he went to bed on the night
on which he killed himself, the young
man had been reading to his parents
a story in a newspaper about an
other young farmer who committed
suicide in the barn by firing a charge
of buckshot into his body. The story

He expressed great sympathy for a
man whose mind was in such con

Soon afterward he went to bed

His parents testified at the in

GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE.

The Governors message, so far as
this Legislature is concerned, might as
well have been left unwritten. On the
FIRST day OF the session the two Houses
appointed committees to inform the
Governor that they were organized and
ready to receive his message, but adj
iourned before the document could
reach them. This was last Wednes-
day. On Saturday the message was
read in the Senate but the House paid
no attention to 1t and may not hear the
document at all. Judging from the
general attitude of the majority, the
Legislature will be guided by the be-
hests Of the Home Rule caucus rather
than by the suggestions of the Execu
tive.
The message Will however, be SER
viceable to the public for its facts and
figures and for the impulses it may
give to the kind of sentiment that will
insist, later, upon the application to
the public affairs of Hawaii of com
mon sense and common honesty. That
il will commend Governor Dole anew
to President Mckinley we do not doubt
for it is the kind of message he would
write himself il put in a similar posi-
ton.

hei to make an investigation. The mat
ter was considered by the Governors
Council yesterday morning and it was
decided that if the plantation will pay
all the veterinarians expenses they can
have the benefit of his services
Mr.. McCandless also brought up the
old matter of the Rapid Transit Street
Railway Company desiring to extend
its line through the proposed extension
of Queen street to its junction with

ton in the matter beyond recommend
ing to the promoters of the road that il
they can gain the promise of the prop
erty owners for the right of way they
can do so and go ahead with the prop
osition. The company has already re-
ceived the promise of every property
holder along the proposed right and the
delay In starting the laying Of track
has been due to not bringing them to-
gether and deciding upon what course
to pursue. Another meeting of the pro-

slider the same matter. This will leave
