a RUNAWAY TRAIN.
Dashed Down Mountain SID and
Through n Montana Town-One Man
Killed, Two Injured.

Butte, Mont, Feb. IA disastrous
runaway of a freight train on the
Northern Pacific railway occurred
Wednesday on what is known as the
Hill line" of that track, branch
running from the main line to the
mines on the hill above Butte. An
engine and train crew, consisting of
Engineer John NJ. Harden, Fireman
Joseph Smith and Brakemen William
Fielder and Patrick Cahill were pull
ing four ears loaded with lumber to
the Alice mine in Walkerville, about
mile above the city. TO reach the
mine, the road climbs along the hill
for about three miles. When near
the top of the elevation, the engine
began to slip. The air brakes were
applied, but failed to work, and be-
! fore the hand brakes could be
reached the train had acquired such
momentum in its backward flight
down the mountain that nothing
could check it.
The engine was reversed, but all to
no purpose. The train went so fast
that all the lumber was scattered as
by a cyclone along the track. Brake
man Fielder was thrown off by fly
ing timber and his head crushed to a
jelly. Cahill was also knocked off,
but escaped with slight injury. The
engineer remained at the throttle
until the engine jumped the track
and broke loose from the flying cars.
The engine turned over and Harden
was caught under it and seriously
injured. The freight cars remained
on the track for distance of three
miles, over which they fee, through
the town like lightning, finally jump
ing the track and piling up on a min

HELD I'M HEAVY BAIL.
A Note Broker Is Charged with Aiding
"a Bank Cashier In Alleged PecuIa-

Boston, Feb. 14.-John W. Dickin-
son, of Newtonville,a note broker, was
arrested Wednesday for alleged com
plcity in the wrecking of the South
Danvers national bank, of Peabody.
He was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Hale, pleaded
not guilty, and in default of $4,000
bail was committed to the Charles
street jail.
The arrest of Mr.. Dickinson caused
d sensation. In the complaint he is
accused of aiding and abetting Cash
ier George NJ. Foster in the alleged
misapplication of $4,000. The COM
plaint against him brings TO light an
other case against Mr.. Foster, who
was recently arrested charged with
embezz!ing $4,000 of the banks
money. Mr.. Foster has been unable
% secure his $4,000 bail. The au-
horites allege that Foster criminal
ly misapplied the $4,000 in giving
Mr.. Dickinson the sums of $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively on the strength
of certain notes. In accepting the
same Mr. Dickinson is charged with
aiding the cashier in carrying out the
alleged fraudulent transaction.

who appeared for the government,

when he was told of the near approach
of his foes, but he was man of daunt-
less energy and accustomed to danger.
His. first act was to run to the window
and look out. A single glance told him
it was too late for flight. The dragons
were already at the white gates, and
the foremost were dismounting.
What shall we do?" What shall we
do?" moaned Mrs. Crawford, wringing
her hands.
''Be calm, mother" said the officer

myself with my sword. which did such
good work at the Cowpens."
The patriot looked as if he was about
to resort to that rash alternative, but
Polly seized him by the arm.
"Quick! l can save you!" she said.
And she pulled him by main force from
the kitchen to the outer shed. She was
in an agony of terror lest her father
should be seen before he was hidden
away at all, but outwardly she was very
calm.
In the shed stood large meat barrel,
or tierce, which Cato had brought out
of the cellar few days before, and was
now standing empty beside a pile of
wood. In her desperation the girls
quick eye espied it, and she drew the
hunted officer toward it.
Its a capital hiding place." said the
major, grasping her intention. Pack
me in as hastily as you can; and, moth
er, you go and entertain our VISITORS
Maj Crawford's bulky form was pres
emily compressed within the interior
of the cask, which was really the mf II
available hiding place he could bave
sought. Polly threw in an old garment
about him, and laid a few sticks of wood
carelessly upon that, leaving the top of
the barrel uncovered. Then she re-
turned to the sitting-room, where she
found her mother engaged in an eXcit-
ing dialogue with the leader of the Brit
ish party.
"Where have you hidden that rebel
hound, your husband?" asked the Off
Ger.
Maj. Crawford is capable of taking
care of himself without any of my
help" answered the patriotic woman,
who had recovered her courage wonder
fully.
you do not deny, then, that the
traitor is within?"
search for yourself. If my husband
is here, you can find him" And Mrs
Crawford sat quietly down.
"Show me the way to your cellar,
girl" said the Englishman to Polly.
"Woud it not be best to begin with
the garrets, and go down ?' asked the
young girl, her black eyes dancing
saucily. BECAUSE" she continued, I'VE
have wine in the cellars, and your men
might not be able to prosecute the
search any further"
Capt. Dacy gave her a look that he in.
tended to be very severe. Lead the
way to the cellar" he said, sternly.
Polly obeyed with pretty pout. ''Do
you think my father is like pork and
potatoes, to be in our cellar" she
asked.
"He is in the house somewhere, and
we intend to find him." answered the
officer, young man who affected the
brusque style of Tarleton, well known
on both sides for his cruelty and sol
| Gierike qualities.
But they found no hint of anybody's
presence in the cellar; and, after Q

New York, Feb. 14.-Mrs. Louise A.
Pryor, wife of DR.. l.. A. Pryor, who
is son of ex-Judge Robert A. Pryor,
was yesterday struck on the head
with a piece of lead pipe and
robbed. Mrs. Pryor had several
hundred dollars worth of diamonds
and some money in her purse when
she was struck by the robber. She
fought bravely and managed to es-
cape with cut on the head. Patrick
Hynes has been arrested and charged
with the crime. Mrs. PryoI's purse
was found in his pocket.

"Well. we have done our best. There's
good wine in the rebels cellar, though.
We needn't lose that"
True" observed Capt. Dacy. Then,
turning to Mrs. Crawford. he contin-
ued: Come, madam, you can enter
tain rascally rebels, it seems. Have
you no humble refreshment for the
humble servants of the king?"
"Certainlyr VIII you partake of some
cakes and wine? Call Chloe, Polly, and
have the table spread at once"
Order my men to ride on slowly,
Wilson; it is possible they may get a
glance of the rebel we are after You
and | will enjoy this good lady's hos
pitality a short time
While Wilson was delivering the cap
tain's orders to the Dragons Mrs.
Crawford opened the sideboard. and
set out decanters and dishes, and the
negress brought some fresh wine from
the cellar. The Englishman smacked
his lips as he empted a goblet.
Come, Mrs. Crawford" said the off
Ger, handing the mistress of the house
a glass of wine. 81 have a toast to pro-
pose. l hope you have no objection to
drinking the health of King George"
None at ALL" replied the lady. 81

mani"
Very well; and now we'll toss off a
bumper to the success of his maies ty's
arms and to the discontinue of all
rebels"
Papa might perhaps object to that"
said Polly, who at this moment en-
tered the room, after a short absence.
"However, he is here to speak for him
self"
Eyes, / am here; and have decided
objections to such sentiments being
drunk in my house"
The Briton and the tory looked up
and saw. framed in the doorway. the
very man for whom they had been
searching so vainly. He held in each
hand loaded pistol and their muzzles
were pointed at the hearts of the ban
queters.
Don't stir or you are dead men!"
he cried, as the British officer attempt
ed to place his hand upon his sword.
what do you intend to do?" asked
the embarrassed captain.
81 mean to take you prisoner" an
swered Maj. Crawford. II will not
harm you if you offer no resistance.
Polly you may fasten his arms, so that
he will not be able to harm us. There is
cord on the peg behind you"
The Briton glanced ferociously a his
enemy. PUT your hands close behind
YOU or l shall be obliged to MAIN you,"
said the major. calmly.
Capt. Dacy obeyed. though with a
bad grace; and the young girl fast
ened his wrists together with stout
rope.
"Now, it's your turn, Wilson, said
the major, addressing the tory. "You
thought to take me, but the tables are
reversed"
After Polly had performed the same
| operation upon the tory and the two
men stood securely bound. the major
very coClly sat down and finished his
interrupted repast. He was just done
when a woolly head thrust itself into

careful examination, the officer led his
soldiers up the stairs.
The upper rooms of the mansion
were subjected to the same careful
search as the cellar had been, and with
the same ill-success. The walls and
the sides of the room were sounded
with swords and bayonets, but no
signs of living being in hiding was
discovered.
This is strange" declared the cap
tain. Maj, Crawford's horse is in the
stable, and it is scarcely likely that
he would try to get away on foot Yet
a cat couldn't stow himself away where
we haven't looked. Where's Wilson,
The tory was outside; but he came
within, as he heard his name spoken
by the officer. A nail on the barrel
caught and tore rent in his frock, as
he went past it in the shed
There! You won't stand in the way
any longer!" cried the man. angrily,
as he gave the cask violent kick and
knocked it over upon it's side. Fortu-
natelv, the tierce fell with its uncov-
cred head toward the wall; and no
one suspected that the object of their
search was within it.
"What do you make of it, Wilson?''
inquired Capt. Dacy.
II don't think the majors here" re-
turned the tory. ''He got wind of our
close pursuit in some manner, and left
on a fresh horse before we came
That's my opinion"
"And it's mine. too. But I'd sooner
lost my spurs than to have had this
search for nothing"

the hot sun of September afternoon
glowed upon the dusty highway and
upon the wide expanse of level fields
that hedged in the old house at Craw-
ford's plantation in the WaXhaw region
of the Carolinas, as Mary Crawford, or
Polly, as everybody called her, sat by
the window, stitching a sampler, but
looking up ever and anon to watch for
travellers that might be coming up the
road.
The Crawford house stood well back
from the highway, with garden be-
tween, bisected by carriage drive
from the big white gates upon the road;
but the young girl could readily descry
anyone passing up or down the thor
oughfare, a distance of quarter of a
mile from the house. The watch she
kept was keen one, for upon her faith
loved father.
Mai. Crawford was an officer in the
patriot army under Gen. Gates, who had
just an hour before, weary, travel
stained, and alone, arrived at his plan
tation after an absence of many weeks.
He was at this moment in the kitchen,
eating the lunch that had been hastily
prepared by Mrs. Crawford and the
colored cook, Chloe, preparatory to
continuing his journey to Sumpter's
army, which was encamped on the Wa
teree. Meanwhile Polly had been sta-
toned at the window to keep lookout
against the approach of any tory or
British party that might be on his
track. 1t was just after the defeat of
Gates at Camden, and the kings men
were jubilant and active through the
Carolinas.
Polly Crawford was a chubby, bright
eyed, saucy-looking girl of 13 or IA
years. She was the majors only child,
and was an arrant little rebel The

sented Elijah fed by the ravens. There
was a marvellous background of shrubs

lfaa ~" heard before, 1
EswU9~ know,
Xr.T How over a hundred
HWT~ years ago,
King George looked
over the ocean,
And said: "Those colonies seem to be
Forgetting they all belong to me,
l must set my troops in notion
So over the redcoats proudly came,
To have nice little jolly game
At teaching the rebels mannersi
Thinking it would be rarest fun
To see the pitiful Yankees run
At sight of the royal banners.
How their bayonets flashed and cleaned,
How their eyes with ardor beamed,
AS forward they marched to battle!
Sure of putting the foe to rout,
Sure of wiping rebellion out,
At the first musket rattle.
Then came along a great surprise.
And old King George he opened his eyes
At hearing the news so stunning.
Plenty of soldiers turned their back
In quick retreat, but, alack, alack!
Twas the redcoats did the running.
Sometimes they won, but the poor old king
Found it rather serious thing,
This tramping out of treason.
Still the vagabond rebel crew
Laughed at him and his soldiers, too.
Where could he find reason?
Oh George the Third. if you had but known
We had a George of our very own,
Leading us on to glory!
How little, hundred years ago,
You dreamed that to-day we boys, no. no!
Would all be telling his story!
Well he led his patriot band,
Daring of heart and strong of hand.
Fit to follow hero.
Tell 1t over how they and he
Firmly stood till our land was free.
With many rousing cheer oh!
Many a year of toll and strife,
Many true and loyal life
Was spent in trying the question.
At last Cornwalls said to his men:
perhaps we'd better go home again."
They thought it a good suggestion.
