work OF repairing the broken dykes OF
the Lewis and Clark, which were in
jured by the late high tides. A part
OF this work was at first undertaken
by the different owners OF the interest
ed property. but the repairs were not
deemed effective aa done by hand and
so the dredger was brought into serv-

atlng to the marked detrment OF the
farmers. have nevertheless served as a
sort OF an awakening for them. besides

intention OF the different land owners
who purpossd TO reclaim their proper
ty to construct hand dykes. but the
dredge has taken precedence over that
idea since the disastrous results al

realized to be an effective barrier
against any encroaching food likely to
visit this county and hence the dredge

Trick on Passengers.
Wanted TO Keep an Important En-
Eagement in Buffalo, and Sue
ceeded in Doing SO.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-First delaying the

his private car might be properly heated,
and then running Of with the engine in
order that he might not be late in getting

K Vanderbilt played on the passengers
Of the Lake Shore limited a few nights

Railroad men were telling the story
with great merriment yesterday, but the

The Lake Shore Limited IS the com
pany's twenty-four hour train between
New York and Chicago. It is made up OF
compartment cars. and when the start
was made from Chicago last Wednesday
evening, Mr.. VanderbiIt's private car was
attached. Mr.. Vanderbilt had been in
Chicago with President William 4. New
man, attending the annual meeting Of the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad He had
an important engagement in Buffalo the
next day, and, contrary 20 all precedent,
directed that his car be attached 70 the
limited.
His Car Heated, Despite Delay.
Before many miles Of roadbed had been
covered. Mr. Vanderbilt complained that
his car was not properly heated. The
train was stopped near Englewood. and
for half an hour the engineer devoted his
energies TO forcing steam back 70 the
private car
Meantime the passengers in the inter
mediate cars began TO swelter and were
irritsted at their inability 20 learn the
cause OF the delay. When the train started
again efforts were made 10 recover the
lost time. bur the schedule rendered this
quite impossible.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-A young man was

the result was a crush unprecedented even
in this Walled-in space that is nightly
a disgrace &c a civilized city.

pressure Of those behind forcing those at

along his feet never touching the ground
