until he was right upon it.
Mrs. Cochrane confesseE that she
grew sick with fear and the thought
came 10 her that the engineer emeTg-
ing suddenly from the tunnel would
not understand her signal till too late
Then she remembered the telephone,
and. turning back ran over the rough
ground toward the house. where line
was installed. Once she stumbled, but
the distance was short and in less than
two minutes she was ringing for the
railway depot. Train Dispatcher
Force answered her message. All that
he heard was: Tree across the track
near the tunnel; hurry; a train is COM
ing"
Outside the station G. f. Gillbride, the
baggage master, who is an expert BIZ
cicle rider, was standing. Force called
% him the message, and with jump
Gillbride had seized his bicycle and was
off. Force threw him a signal flag as
he started and yelled string of orders
after him as he spurted down the
street The distance was only about
mile and the bicyclist rode like the
wind After he had gone block he
heard the shrill whistle of the coming
train as it approached the tunnel. 1t
was a race of man against a train with
hundred lives depending on the re-
suit Gillbride reached the fallen tree,
jumped from his bicycle, ran down the
track away to the mouth Of the tur-
mel, and as the engine emerged from
the darkness flashed his red signal
flag before the startled engineer. The
whistles screamed Brakes down. and,
with the engine shivering with the ex-
ertiOn, the train came 10 a stop with
the nose of the locomotives cow
catcher scarcely two feet from the
fallen tree. Engineer Lewis, his face
white from the peril, jumped from the
cab and hurried 10 the signalman
1T was a close shave" he gasped,
and as the questioning passengers and
Conductor Crane pressed around him
he could only repeat: at was close

Pretty soon a half hysterical woman
came down the track. It was Mrs.
Cochrane and she told Of the finding
Of the danger. The crew and passen-
gers thanked her over and over again.

snaIIs Delight In Music.

A German scientist recently pointed
out that snails were able to draw i'm
mense weights, and now French nat
uralist claims that there are few, if
any, animals which have a higher ap-
preciation of music than Snails. Place
some snails on a pane of glass, he says,
and you viii find that. as they move
over it they will make musical sounds
similar TO those which a person can
produce by wetting his finger and then
rubbing it around a glass tumbler.
Complete airs. he points out, have been
PLAYED on tumblers in this way. and
he expresses the opinion that quite
as good results can be obtained by
uGing snaiIs instead of fingers.

BLSBBRG HOLDS UP

Stops All Measures Pending
at Albany.
Assembly Would Not Push a Bill Of HIS,
and He Retaliated by Raising
Constant Objections.

NEW YORK. March 1s-Senator Els
berg says ne viii hold up the entire Leg
isIature Of the State Of New York if his
bills now in the assembly committee on
rules are not reported out in a hurry
and either passed or defeated
The Senator served notice 20 this effect
in the Senate this morning by Directing
10 the advancement Of every bill that had
come over from yhe assembly for con-
currence. His objections became mo-
notonous after a while and finally an
explanation was asked for. Then Sena-
tor Elsberg said
Il have a bill in the assembly com
mittee on rules and IL might as well be
in a sefe deposit vault with the key
thrown IN the river There never was
such an example Of arbitrary power as
this same committee on rules. Six men
are able 30 do what they please with leg
islatiOn that 1SS men have already passed
upon.
My bill alters the code Of civil proce-
duTe relative to proper and fictitious
names IN connection with liens or charge
Of judgments. II is an important bill
and was reported out Of the assembly
codes committee and was on the order Of
third reading when the rules committee
look nCtl I OF some reason II gets no
further. I will object 20 all assembly
bills being progressed in the Senate re-
gardless Of what is done with my bills in
the assembly"
Speaker Nixon said last night. Mr..
Elsberg's conduct IS very petty The
facts are that a duplicate bill Of the
senator's was passed in the Assembly to-
day. II looks as though Senator Els
berg is aangry because his name is not
attached 10 a bin passed by this house
that is similar 10 his own"
Assemblymau Burnett when one of
Senator ElsberR's bills was reached on
the calendar moved its recOmmittal to
the committee on rules and this was
done Mr.. Burnett said
Mr.. Elsberg calls a legislative com
miitee down for not reporting out q bill
refused TO vote out a bill from the sen
ate coo es committee, OF which he is a
member. The rules committee is an hon
orable body Of experienced and courteous
legislators and not Obstructionists. II
Mr. Elsberg wants to hold up legisla-
tiOu all right. but he had better attend
to his business In the Senate and leave
us 20 attend to ours in the Assembly"
Yesterday evening. despite all the trOu-
BILE with Senator Eisberg the committee
on rules reported out Senator Elsberg's
bill amending the laws relating TO mar
rage so that assistant leaders Of the So
ciety Of Ethical Culture may perform
