The postcard was addressed TO
"Mr. Preacher Smith Among the
mountains Of Tennessee, Kentucky
and North and South .CArolina 'auy
nan Z preacher who elects to bar
angue his ssIIow-nen upon religious
themes.
But Mr.. Preacher Smith" bore
his title with peculiar humility, be-
cause he vas really a clergyman.
On the other side Of the card vas
written II a sprawlIng, childish Band
these words
II an very sick. I am going to
die. Come TO see ne
i EouaRs name vas signed to
the message, a name he did not know
and the Postnark told him TIA; the
card had come from a EttIs village
few miles up the railroad &c looked
Up trains on the timetable.
When Preacher Smith found the
woman, she Va- wing il = bare, one
room cabin up N The mountains 4
little flock otchi.iren scattered at BIS
approach, all but ons boy, who came
forward shyly to hold the preachers
horse.
Her story. when she told It. Wa
commonplace enough, sad enough.
She had lived lie that was far from
being above rspro4ch. even when
Judged BY the tolerant views Of the
nsighborhood. The strange thing
about It vas that the woman had
cone 70 see her life as II vas, and was
sorry She had sent Tor The minister
TO tell him Of her repentance and Der
desire TO lead a better life.
The preacher eomfor,ed Der that
day and the next tine be came he
baptized her and atterward, as be
sat beside her, telling her Of the
kingdom Of heaven, she said to him
suddenly, w.stfullY
Wasn't the postal card 7 sent you
beautifully written ?"
The preacher smiled as be recalled
the poor little scrawl and then Iook-
ing in the womans eyes, he said gent
". and indeed rruthfu.Iy, Yes, it
was
Her lace Lighted up. and .be lay
back on the pillow with a little sigh
o: happiness
Did you write it7" asked the
preacher.
oh, 20, I 3.ir'r write it, she
answered, softlv Il can't write
nor read. None Of nv folks that I
that ever knew OF. before ne could
ever write or read. No. John wrote
It"
And who is John said the
preacher.
John boIdia your horse. Johns

winter John vent to The mission
school, and learned 10 read and write.
She paused, and again that look Of
radienee cane into her face: Wasn't

And only think she continued,
presently. Only think II John

be hadn't learned to write I could
never have sent word to you. I
should never have been baptized I

WATERTOWN BANK
 TO TAKE ACTION.

The board of directors of the Water town Savings bank held a meeting last evening to decide upon taking definite action against the town in case the lat ter, at the town meeting which Is to be held tomorrow, decides to not pay the alleged discrepancy of some $14, ,0O0 worth of orders and notes. The warn ing for this meeting was published a week ago and 1t seems to be the inten- ton of every taxpayer in the town to attend it, for never before has there been matter of such importance to them happened that calls for their greatest attention. At this meeting the town will determine whether or not 1t shall pay the amount above stated to the bank. If the action taken turns out to be negative, suit will be immediately entered against the town. Such is the conclusion ar- rived at by the board of directors last evening.

Judge Gager disallcwed those claims and the supreme court in It's opinion says:
 'sThe result in that in overruling the claim of Wade and of the executors Of c. M. Platt as to the right to recover under the contracts of February lS9b. as set forth i'll the findings, the court below erred and its judgment in both cases as to said claims is set aside and the respective cases are remanded, that judgment may be rendered in accord ance with the views here expressed.

PASSENGERS FLEE
 FROM BURNING CARS.

A fire that lit up the south end of the city as it has not been lighted be- fore since the big confagration in St- monsville, occurred last night, when two coaches attached to the 6:15 south bound train on the Naugatuck road blazed while there was anything in them that would burn. Just as the train had reached point opposite the sand bank i'll South Brooklyn a kero- sene lamp exploded in the first passen- ger coach in the rear end of the car, setting it on fire. The passengers were panic stricken and were it not for the presence of mind of the train men some of them would have tried to escape by rushing toward the door through the blazing end of the coach. The brakes were applied ill short order, the train brought to a standstill and all hustled off in safety The engine and the rest of the cars were discon- nected as quickly as possible, but not before second car had started to burn. The steamer went down there, but 1t could not do anything on account of lack of water. About S:30 o'clock the fire fend had done its worst and then the engine backed into the station, hooked on two more cars and went on. Thousands fiocked to the scene, each one inquiring as he went whether it was the new brewery or the acln shop was burning.

POLICE COURT DOINCS.
Chinese Restaurant Keeper Wanted
 Pay For His Steak.

William Hickey tried to be funny with the owners of the Canton reA taurant on South Main street last eyeiI- ing. He had steak there Late in the evening and while the proprietor. was attending another customer Hickey fled. The Chinaman knew his busi- ness, however. He has been up against such tricks as this too often to be caught Knowing how the policemen call each other in the night time, by rapping their sticks on the sidewalk, the native of Canton did likewise and in |. moment he had Officer Bergin in Quiring what the trouble was about. It did not take the Chinaman long to tell it and Bergin dashed after Hickey whom he could see flying up the street Bergin chased him into the arms or Officer Keegan, who was standing at the corner Of South Main and Scovill streets. In the city court this morning Hickey told Judge Burpee he was merely fooling and that the Chinaman got mad, and 1t was all 8 mistake any how. Hickey was fined all he had, 50, which made it rather dear steak to him.
