A New Line.

PITTSBURG, Pa, June 25.-After
four years Of unremitting effort and
an Expenditure OF 500, 100000, the new
line of the Wabash railroad into Pitts
burg is about to become an accom-
plished fact. The first train will be

The event marks a victory without
a parallel in the history Of American
railroads. When the Gould interests

burg they faced stnpendous obstacles
which could be overcome only by H.
Irritable resources. In the first place
they had TO meet the opposition of
the Pennsylvania railroad, which in
stituted drastic reprisals and even
went to the length of destroying mil
lions Of dollars worth or Western I'M
ion property along It's lines.
Almost as formidable as the oppo-
sition Of the Pennsylvania were the
engineering difficulties to be overcome
in the construction or the new line.
From Pittsburg 70 Jewett, throughout
its entire length Of sixty miles, the
line is a continuous series Of deep cuts
and high embankments, great bridges
and yiaducts, tunnels and c%ulverts. So
rough is the country which Is tapped

A MARINE
RAILROAD
Strenuous Experiences
In Crossing Arkansas
In The Flood Days

Never Ia the history Of the lower
Valley route has there been SO much
water in the country t~rayersed BY that
line. From Fairfield to Dumas, a dis
lance Of thirty-four miles, the road is
under water to a depth Of five feet,
more or less. The water runs into
the boilers Of the engines at several
places between these two points, ex-
tineuishing the fires altogether, and
the railroad has been driven to the
extremity Of providing an extra high
engine to pull the trains out Of certain
low places where It Is impossible to
keep up fires. The platforms Of the
passenger coaches are under water
for miles.
1t takes three hours to run from
Dumas to Fairfield and for that en-
tire distance there is nothing but a
sea Of water, showing, of course, the
trees and underground that has been
able to Withstand its ravages. The
stencil from the decaying vegetation
is something terrible, and millions Of
frogs make day and night hideous.

il its whole length carries the surface

Exclusive Of two cantilever bridges,
there are nine important yiaducts on
the line, a~ggregating 4964 feet In
length. The Monongahela bridge at
Pittsburg is the largest cantilever
bridge in America. and excepting
the Firth Of FoSth bridge. the largest
Of the kind in the world. It has a
middle span Of S12 feet and two end
spans Of 347 feet each, making a to-
tai length Of 1906 feet. The mean
pool level Of the river is cleared by
seventy feet.
Second only to this bridge Is that
over the Ohio river at Mingo. This.
with a central span of 700 feet and
two end spans, each of 29s feet, has a
total length Of 1926 feet, and Is ninety
feet above the water. These bridges
cost nearly 81 100000 each.
There are nineteen tunnels on the
lire, a~ggregating 20.459 feet, or nearly
four miles in length. TO reduce the
number Of bridges the course Of Cross
creek in Pennsylvania and West Vir,
ginia has been changed at several
places, new channels as much as fifty
feet deep having been blasted through
solid rock. The entire line Is laid with
underground steel rails.
Out of Pittsburg a one per cent
grade carries four miles to the summit
at the west portal to the Greentree
tunnel. Here will be the new termi-
nal freight yard, where trains will be
made up to full weight for the run to
Jewett. Except for this short switch.
ing haul out Of Pittsburg, the maxi.
mum grade, either west or east, is
thirty-seyen feet to the mile.
Notwithstanding the great cost Of
the line the Gould interests figure
that II will bring in ample returns. The
road was built with certain knowledge
that vast traffic running into the mil,
lions OF tons, was to be had at the out
set. Along the line local business
coal, agricultural products and passen.
ger travels counted upon to develop
gradually. Already through Washing.
ton county, in anticipation Of the new
outlet, coal pits have been dug and
colliers built in what were but yester.
day grain fields and pastures. OIL
wells have also been sunk.
From Pittstmrg the Wabash will
be the short line to Toledo. while to
Chicago II will be only five miles, and
to st. Louis forty miles. longer than
the Pennsylvania routes.

TAPT. THOMAS WRENN marked,
from the vantage post of the quarter
deck Of his schooner the sinuous ap-
proach of his sister-in-law, Miss Sarah
Pate, amid various packages of mer-
chandise on the wharf, and he noted it
with perturbation. Miss Pate's visits to
her brother-in-law were generally of a
montory, not to say fault finding nature.
and the captain dreaded them. Truly
the aspect of Miss Pate, as she threaded
her way, was depressing, she being in
mourning and large black veil Tapping
around her head, verify, as If some sable
plumaged bird hovered over her with a
view of ravishment.
Capt. Wrenn removed his hat and
scratched his head.
Thomas Wrenn," said Miss Pate, de-
clining the chair which the captain
profiered and standing stiffly in the mid
die of the deck, II come, against my will,
to deliver a message. That message my
conscience tells me should not be deliv-
cred but consecrated to oblivion"

her sickness and alleverate her suffer-

"Bless me-" calculated the captain.
"You may we'll say it, retorted Miss
Pate, with acerbity. "A visit paid to an
unmarried woman at night, alone, and

that the year has been the darkest of

WHAT THE SlAMESE EAT,
Putrid Fish Regarded as a Deicacy
by the Not Over-Fastidious
Natives.

Siamese food principally consists OF
dried, frequently rotted fish, and rice.
done into curries which comprise lit
tie of about every kind OF condiment.
and especially a very popular sauce
called namphrik, chueney-like ano
thoroughly mixed thing made of red
pepper, shrimp. garlic, onions, citron,
ginger and tamarind seeds, says Casper
Whitney, in Outing. The only reason
for the fish being putrid is because the
natives like 1t SO, for fish are plentitsl
in the rivers, and fishermen Numerous,
though their ways of catching are rather
amusing and antique.
One favorite method borrowed from
the Chinese, is beating the water with
long bamboo sticks to frighten the fish
into an eight or ten-foot squar;sh net,
which is lowered into the river from
framework on the bank by system OF
wheels and ropes and pulleys, and
hoisted up again when the catch is COM
plete. must confess that when the fish
in the curry CHANGED to be fried instead
of decayed, l found the concoction de-
cidedly toothsome. In fact, really
good curry is in a class apart. and one
must go to India or the far east to get it
at Its best.
Sometimes the natives eat pork, and
oftentimes chicken, but for the most
part rice and the fish curry constitute
their chief diet, supplemented by the
fruits OF the country, Of which there are
many kinds-mongosteen, mango, pine
apple, banana, orange, bread fruit and
that most healthful and serving of all
Siame>e fruits, the papaya, which grows
back from the water and is greenish
oval melon that suggests cantalouoe

THE CHANCE.

We can't return when all is ended here
To right the wrongs we do, to mend mis-
takes;
We can't return to dry single tear
Or soothe one heart that for our folly
aches.
We may not care, at last when all is done.
We may not fee: or have regret or see:
The grave. indeed. may be the end, and none
That die may know what was or Is to be-.
But II 1t be not so. II from behind
The curtain that death guards we may
look out,
How shall 1t be with them who wake to
find
The marks Of sins that shame them
strewn about?
How shall it be with them that sell or make
The things that brutalize or strange
pride?
How shall it be with them that for the sake
OF wrongful gains put all but greed aside
We can't return to right the wrongs we do.
II, waking yonder, we may backward
glance;
There is chance that death enes all, It's
true,
But can we well afford to take the chance?

When the captain reached the hall
Miss Pate, with IN imperative beck Of
her bony finger, summoned him into the
kitchen.
''Well?" she said
The captain related the substance Of
his conversation with Miss Cogswell.
Miss Pate's eyes cleaned and she
twisted her fingers into divers complex
figures.

"go back to Miss Cogswen and tell her

he stared at her in amazement mingled
with admiration, then he went up stairs
and knocking at the invalid's door an
nounced that he would agree to being

sented himself at the Cogswell house

nevertheless he came.

But Miss Pate nodded to the captain
and he hastened down stairs and re-
turned with gentleman in white neck
tie

unite David and me in the holy bonds
of matrimony in your presence"
Mr.. Bowes at once proceeded with the
ceremony. Mr.. David Whites eyes dur
ing the solemnity wandered vacantly
from the captain to the door as If vainly
hoping for an avenue to escape. When
the time came for an affirmation from
him of his willingness to take Miss Pate
for better or for worse he rather irrele-
vanity said something like femme &c"
a remark which the reverend gentleman
very properly refused to notice.
"Oh, David" sobbed Miss Pate, when
her husband was being congratulated by,

Capt. Wrenn looked at the floor. He
