"No, grandfather, we must not cross

"And why not, childW
Because, grandfather, the safety
gates have been raised at the turn a
half-mile away, and the red ball is up
on the signal station on the hill"
Eyes, 1 see. But what does it
mean?"
"It means that an automobile is due
and coming"
But can't we get across before it
gets herer
mot Oh your life, grandfather. The
last man who tried it was thrown clear
across yonder meadow and into a
greehouse. Look! There 1t goes"
'I saw nothing but whirl Of yel-
low dust"
"That was It, Come now. No. we
must wait again. The yellow flag is
UP in the other direction. That means
a race. There they go! See them?"
II saw nothing but more dust"
"They were too quick for you. That
was a bunch Of millionaires. They
get dreadfully reckless. Only yester-
day we picked up what was left of one
Of them in our front yard, and there
wasn't enough of him to ill peck
measure"
"Can't we'cross now"
"Dear, no! All the yellow flags are
up and all the red balls are up, and all
the signal men are signaling. They
are coming from both ways. If we
have real good luck we may see col
lision. We get a commission at our
house every time we report collision
to the coroner"
"But how will we get across"
II guess we will have to walk up
to the covered bridge at the corner of
the next block. ."-Cleveland Plain

New York Oct 2G.-The bark
Charles G.. Rice of Portland, Me-, Capt.
Payne, which arrived, Friday night,
from Aukland. reports that at GO L.
VI. Friday, while sailing up the main
channel With ali sails set, was run into
by an unknown passenger steamer. The
steamer struck the bark on the bluff
of the port bow. knocked the anchor on
deck, carried away all the braces ON
the port side and broke several yards
Capt. Payne and Pilot Butler We're
standing on the poop deck at the time
of the collision. Capt. Payne said that
the forward watch called out steamer
dead ahead" and as the steamer ap-
parently did not see his vessel Capt
Payne ordered the watch to ring the
forward bell to attract the attention OF
the steamer but no notice was taken
and the collision resulted. Capt. Payne
hailed the steamer, but received no re-
ply. The colliding vessel backed Off
and when last seen was in tow of a
tug.
The steamer was probably the Nal
lory Line steamer COmal, which passed
quarantine at COS p. NJ, bound for
Brunswick and Mobile, or the Cuban
steamer Paloma, which passed out at
the same time. bound to Jeremie. St.
Marc, etc. Both vessels have passed

Hoes That Colombia Can Now Whip
the Rebel Fleet.

Panama. Oct. 26.-The news which
has been published here of secret
alliance between Colombia and Chile
has produced much satisfaction in con-
servative circles on the isthmus. whera
it is firmly believed that the Chilean
cruiser Presidente Pinto now in Pa
mama harbor. will very soon change It's
present flag for that of the Colombian
republic. This news disconcerts the
Liberator revolutionary element, be-
cause ii the Colombian government ac-
auired the Chilean cruiser Colombia
would then be able to vanquish the rev
olutionary gunboats.

Panama Railroad Co., who recently ar
rived on the isthmus from New York.

tween Col Shaler and the Colombian
officials is reported to have been very
pleasant and it would appear that the
