TRAIN STRUCK BUGGY.
Horse Killed in Riverside and Negro
 Injured.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon the Louisville and Nashville north bound pas senger train ran into the buggy of Jerry Bryant. a negro. near Riverside Park fair grounds and killed a horse.
 It seems that Bryan was about half way across the tracks waiting for a switch engine to move from the tracks before crossing. The north bound pas senger train in charge of Conductor Jen- kins and Engineer Cot was going around a curve and did not see the buggy stand ing on the tracks in time to avoid a col lisfon. The engine struck the front part of the buggy. instantly killing the horse and demolishing the buggy.
 Bryant was thrown violently from the buggy to the side of the track. Surgical add arrived as quickly as possible. Bryant was considerably bruised about the head

and total of one of the points made against present types of river stean- boats by prominent railroad president.
 A unique craft steamed out of the Pittsburg Harbor about thirty-five years ago. bound for the Blue Grass State of Kentucky. And what is more, this locomotive steamboat, if you will allow the the phrase, safety, and credi- tably reached it's destination.
 Along in the sos locomotive building firm was doing business on the South
 Side, Pittsburg. The title of the firm
 was Smith 6 Porter, since evolved into
 the H. K. Porter Company, which has
 become one of the most widely known firms of this city The early plant of Smith & Porter was located on the South Side, between Carson-st and the
 Monongahela River, short distance above South First-st.
 J. Y. Smith was superintendent of the plant during the period covered by this story, the summer of 1868. At that time a railroad twelve miles long was in operation, running south out of Greenu- upsburg, Ky. It is a river town, 5SS miles down stream from Pitsburg. The | firm of Smith & Porter had contracted with the owners of the road to deliver a locomotive by a certain date. The engine in due time was built at the South Side works. and MT. Smith was ready to ship the machine South. but the towboats were all tied up, the river Wasi low. and a long dry spell was ol
The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-08-14

and 1t was something of a question just how the terms of the contract could be carried out and the locomotice delivered to the Kentuck line.
 The firm was young in those days, transportation facilities were not of the best, and, besides, it was not good busi- ness to sail to deliver goods. Superin-5 tendant Smith realized all this and more. MT. Smith procured a fiatboat of adequate capacity, and with Engineer James M. Schooiey, along with the aid 5of several machinists. converted the locomotive into a steamboat for the time being. After the engine was properly slined up on the hull the front ends of the side were disconnected, the rods thrown over backward, coupled up with temporary crank shaft, placed across the boat and to the rear of the locomotive. and having on each end a paddle wheel. The rear end of the engine was ..jacked up to permit the rear or main pair of drivers to hang clear. The arrangement of main and side rods and wheels at this junture- the front pair of drivers excepted and which of course were not in use-was not unlike that of an '.'American'' or, eight wheel' passenger locomotive.
 A supply of coal was placed on the front end, the engine fired up the steers man or pilot summoned to duty at the steering oar, and with the steam gauge indicating 120 pounds pressure to the

MT. and Mrs. William Hale have as guest at their cottage Miss Florence Pierson of Bridgeport. Miss Pierson, who has been five weeks at Cosey Beach. will return to Bridgeport next week. .. The storm of last week is still topic of conversation among the cottagers, it being considered the worst storm on the Beach in five years. Many boats were stranded on the beach. and the sand carried away in several places. Three men out fishing in small boat were driven in by the tide and their boat was ] dashed into pieces. under them on the beach in shallow water.
 MT. and Mrs. N. M. Cohen and family of New Britain came last week Tuesday to occupy their handsome cottage which has been built for them this spring. Miss Rose Cohen came yesterday.

found out his mistake. He was taken to a public stand, put up for sale. and the bidding began-the sale per emptory.'' His victim started the bid with "one hundred dollars.
 1.-Two hundred, said the blackleg.
 And so the gambler and his victim went on bidding until the amount reached $2,0O0, when the former begged to be let off, pleading poverty, but all his pleadings would not cause the cheated man to relinquish his deter imitation to make him pay dear for what he had done. There was no alter native, the gambler must either be forced into service of degrading labor, under the supervision of man who had small cause to love him, or he must go on bidding for himself, which he was actually compelled to do until the sum had reached $3,500, when he was permitted to pay over the amount and depart from the town, a crowd of hoot- ing, yelling men and boys following him to the wharf, where he took the steam CT. < .a,ssg.s
 The citizens then gave the proceeds of the ':man sale" to the city to be used in putting up a clock and steeple on the town hall and market house, which building was torn down a few years ago l to- make room for a larger and more modern structure. .4@
 | Not a great many of the citizens know the history of the old steeple and clock, but Capt Edward told the Building committee that he was particularly desirous of seeing the steeple and clock preserved and that he wished to defray all expense of having the clock repaired "modernized" for the new building. This proposition was accept- ed and to-day the people of the good old city have practically the same steeple and clock their old-time citizen made a
 gambler pay for. = Richmond Times Despatch. ..,.

HOW AN OLD VIRGINIA CLOCK { WAS PAID FOR. .~' F. t..

Perhaps no clock in America has more interesting history than the one in the
 steeple of the City Hall and market house at Alexandria, Va. Back in the days before the war Alexandria was one of the Southern cities which was known as pretty rapid place for the sporting fraternity, but in those days it. was a square game, and no cheating-a
 gentleman's game from start to finish. On one occasion the town had been visited by several gamblers from the Southwest who had come hither seek ing whom they might devour." At length respectable citizen, who oc-
 casionally took flyer with cards, fell into snare which was set for him, and
 after series of games, carried on on l different nights, he found himself f1eeced out of something like $250O. As a true Southerner" he had to make good and this he did without pickering, but
 with the determination to get even. He | was too honorable not to stand the haz- ard of the die.
 | A lucky thought enabled him to bring | about his revenge on the blackleg. He | had knowledge that there was an old l law on the statute books-established
 while she was yet colony, in which it | was made and provided" that if any l man could not show that he was pursu- 1 ing some lawful means of obtaining a | livelihood' he should be sold or hired l out at auction to prevent, by his labor
 his becoming chargeable to the town. Going before justice of the peace he immediately entered. complaint against the .gamester. The man was arrested tried, and condemned to be sold at aue- tion. Here was a dilemma. The gam bier was at first disposed to treat the
 whole matterzas a joke. But he soon

This is probably the only time on record that a locono- tive successfully navigated the Monon- gahela or Ohio River.

 Cosey Beach was the center of attrac- ton. There were many visitors in the afternoon, and large crowd came in the evening for the united band and or chestra concerts. The lawn at the rear of the Momauguin was very gay with hundreds of Chinese lanterns of all hues and which were strung on wires, and the illumination and music were fine in character.
 An event of much interest was the outing of the Business Mems association of Waterbury yesterday. The party numbered 100 of the leading business men of Waterbury, and they arrived at the Momauguin at noon. A fine shore dinner was served to them at 1:30 p. m., which was speedily dispatched, and af- ter the dinner several informal speeches of five minutes duration were made by Warren L. Hall. president of Water bury's Business Mems association and also A. J. Muzzy of Bristol, president of the State Business Mems association, A. H. Alberg of New Britain, secretary of same. and Congressman N. D. Sperry, who was an honorary guest of the asso- citation.
 After the dinner the party repaired to the base ball ground and enjoyed a game between members of the associa- tion. They left for Waterbury at their individual convenience.
