track OF the Hudson River Railroad being un-
der water between Hudson and Albany, the

on It's way to Chatham. and four engines were
needed to pull the big train UP the incline. At
Chatham the train came upon the tracks Of
the Boston and Albany. and thus reached AL
bany but it was not until Q o'clock that the
train arrived in this city. Ordinarily. 1t comes
into the station at 4:2O o'clock.

WAITED TEN YEARS FOR A JAG
BLACKSMITH KEPT MIND ON PLEDGE AND
EYE ON CALENDAR.

On the morning Of March 8. 1892. Anton Jansen. a
gentle blacksmith whose spreading chestnut tree
rears it's head at No, 76 West One-hundred- and
frst-st. remarked to his sister, Mrs. Rettinger:
I'm never touch drop OF booze I'm ten years"
Mrs Rettinger smiled a sweet sad smile that had
a world Of meaning in it, for she had heard that
sort OF thing before. yes-once twice before.
But remarkable to relate as the nurse says when
She comes TO n particularly Incredible part of the
fairy story. Jansen kept his word For ten long
years the blacksmith lived arid life. For
hundred and twenty weary months he ranked as
the human Sahara with never a single oasis. Some
times when the scent of spring in the air he
may have cast a thirsty eye at the enhancing
portrait of the Harlem goat engaged in posing
magnihcently with his forefeet upon barrel of
book Or he may have shifted enviously as he
trudged homeward from work and caught the odor
that came through the doors of the Dutchmans at
the corner. But he always kept on. He never
turned IN He kept his word
Jansen didn't forget the time limit though He
kept his eye the calendar. He counted off the
years and the months and the weeks and the days
Sunday night he went to bed and dreamed gorgeous
dreams Of the morrow.
Monday morning Jansen arose bright and early
and after breakfast announced his intention of 60
ing forth into the glad world and annexing bit of
its gladness
"It is a glorious anniversary said he.
So he took his sister and hastened to a Harlem
bank, wherefrom he drew $500 that he had laid up
against a rainy day. He judged that wet weather
was about due IN another pocket he had an ad-
ditional humidity fund OF SIPS 1t did not take him
long to lose Mrs. Retinger after that, and she
him no more until o'clock last evening AT that
hour the celebrant returned According to his sis
ter, he carried big revolver in his hand and his
lee scuppers were all awash. He climbed the stairs
and began 10 shift the furniture somewhat rough
ly. A rocking chair was the first To go through
the window. Then followed few plates, half
dozen knives and picture of Washington crossing
the Delaware. Jansen just starting in to Jug

The blacksmith grew pacific at once. He said he

that would day rank with Lncon's birthday.
No he had not the slightest objection accom-
panying such polite policeman. And he did
At the police station Jansen found to be $50
shy of his SIPS roll, but the $500 wad was still In
