"Have you ever noticed the satisfied

q man who has q fondness for investi-

II have thought of that for a long
tIme-ever since that form Of express

gamblers. Watch the first sport you

the pleasure he seems to take In roll

winning money, is to lose 1t.
1.-The ungrammatical fashion among
gamblers dates back about Is years.
1t seems impossible to conceive any
reason for the custom other than the
one l have mentioned. That form of
speech is still growing in popularity.

RAILROAD WRECKS,
Thomas 4. Scott Used to Handle
Them without Gloves

InOmae n. scott sea TO han0l0
Them Without Gloves.
"When that wonderful railroad gen.
ius, the late Thomas \. Scott, was
building up the Pennsylvania system.
the work he did was superhuman, the
results he accomplished marvellous"
said an old railroad man. Scott was
essentially a man Of action. For ex-
ample, at one time there occurred on
the line a freight wreck that piled up
scores Of cars in a confused heap in
cutting, thus completely barring the
main line.
1.-The local authorities were beside
themselves, for they could not figure
out how the wreck could be cleared
away and the line reopened in less than
two weeks. At this juncture Scott ar
rived on the scene and after a survey
Of the wreck sent for great quantity
Of coal oil, with which he had the pile
thoroughly drenched. 1t was then
touched off, and the god Of fire soon
removed all trace Of 1t, and traffic was
resumed on the line in "a hours.
"a bridge fell, and it was feared q
long delay must ensue, but Scott put
more than 1000 men to work ON that
one structure and thus eliminated the
question Of delay. Those were the
days when such things counted and
were not only possible, but necessary.
Today railroading is reduced to such a
fine point that the need for them no
longer exists. The >oads are too safe
guarded for that.
1.-The last instance I remember Of
such railroad work as that was ut the
Johnstown flood In 1889, think it was.
Frank Thomson, by great work and
the use Of side lines, was one Of the
first to arrive upon the scene. Once
there, he took full control, the division
superintendent from all over the line
were summoned, and a particular task
was given to each one to do instantly.
They one and all responded as best
they could to the spur, and the line
was reopened with incredible swift
ness. There were one or two failures,
however, and those men, while they
were kept on as superintendent Of I'M
important mountain divisions, were
never again promoted" York

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 27.-There appear
ed in the stock market to-day and
powerful, well organized and resource
full bear party. The market proved un-
able to withhold the aggressive tactics
of the element and some violent breaks
We're the result.
The opening squirt in prices this
morning was nominally based upon the
action of the Secretary of the Treasury
in resuming refunding operations. but
the professional bear party evidently
had its part in forcing the bulge in
prices and they sold freely from the
start. The first prices of the day were
almost without exception the highest.
Almost Immediately the significant
selling in Pennsylvania made it's APP
pearance again. The benehciaries by
the stock subscription privileges seem
ed united in their desire to take their
profits promptly. There was heavy sell
ing of the rights on the curb. The
holders of stock, seeing the course OF
the rights, sold their holdings of stock
on a large scale on the chance Of Sc

the special weakness 81 all stocks
