The man choked on a hasty cup of
coffee, but made no reply. Donald did
not seem to expect one, but chatted on.

looking wistfully at the child, he

Washington, D. c., Oct. 24.-The
Schley court of inquiry was crowded
today on account of the expectation
of hearing from Clark and Schley. 1t
is expe cted the testimony will close
today. Capt Chas E. Clark of the
famous Oregon whose voyage from
the Pacific TO Key West and whose
splendid work in the battle of Santi-
ago is the pride of every citizen was
called. Capt. Clark made fine i'm
preston as be told of the chase after
the Spanish ships. He said at one
time he feared the Oregon would
have to susta' the concentrated fire
of the enemy. Just then the smoke
lifted and he saw the Brooklyn
well forward on the Oregon's port
beam and broadside to the enemy.
These relative positions were main
tanned to the end of the battle. He
told of a conversation on the New
York between Sampson and Clark
and Schley when it was thought
more Spanish vessels were coming.
Sampson asked Clark to 90 to meet
them, Clark suggested Scnley go al
SO and the latter gladly consented.
He repeated a number of signals
from the Brooklyn to the Oregon.

TODAY'S PICTURE.
The City Buildings, Old and
New, and the Hose
Houses.

The half tone in this issue, of the
city buildings, is quite intere sting,
showing all the fire department Duilc-
inps in addition to the city buildings,
old and new. The old city building
which is shown was built by DR.. War
ner. of whose grave we gave q pict-
sf<.s-4= .. ssse<>ss<7saoo AsA3
office. AT his death in 1885 he gave
this building, as we described it
then, to the city schools and the city
paid $4UO per year rent for it at the
time the picture was made. Part OF
it was used for school house at one
time and the balance for city build
ing. AS we remember it, the front
door entered into a narrow hall from
which steps led to the floor above
where the city clerk had his Office. A
door leading right back, on the first
floor, entered into the police court
room which was also used for
a council chamber, with few old
desks and a sort of throne for the
mayor. Back of this Was the mayors
Office, diDgy old hole of a place
with a piece of ragged mating on
the floor and little old fiat table for
its only furniture, where Tom Ben
nett, Lou Shofer and Alex Horney
held forth. Beneath was fitted up
tor a calaboose until Or. Davis, by a
trick which be sometimes relates, got
Thomas Nestor to vote for some i'm
provements. Anton Bescher, who is
about the only one now living who
did business in that locality, had
saloon at the right side of the city
building shown in the picture. The
fight which was had during the
times the erection of the
new city building was being fought
through in council has never been
forgotten. La order to head it off
the Wakefi Id building was purchased
by part of the council for a quarter
Of the price IL Is now worth, but J. j.
JORDAN WHO was determined the
building should go where il now is,
got an injunction in the courts and
broke up the sale. Those who are
having the fight TO get hose houses
on the west side and in the south |
part of the city may find consolation
in the fact that each of the hose
houses shown in the picture cost the
promoters just as hard fight as
they are going through with them |
selves at the present time

RailrOaderS' Pay.

This is a sort of railroaders har-
vest. Never have the train men
made better wages than at present,
especially on the Pennsylvania lines.
The ordinary wages of a freight con-
ductor are $95 TO 300 pc. month.
Now II l. not an unusual thing for a
freight conductor to draw $135 to
sI3S per month and many of the
orakemen draw $50 TO 500 per month
when the paw car pulls in. OF course
this extra pay is for overtime, but it
is not arduous as it used to be, as
under present methods of operating,
freight trains are not very long or
tiresome. Freight trains and espe-
clalIy through freight trains now
cover as long distance in six or
eight hours as they did a few years
ago in twelve or fourteen hours. The
methods of loading and unloading
have been improved also with the
freight train schedules so that DELAYS
are much less than in former years
