promotion of social intercourse.

able for an unusual amount of nerv-
BUSINESS, almost amounting to horror.
with regard to anything OF the kind. in
consequence of an accident, with
tragical termination, which he had
once witnessed. DIR. jeremiah Cart
wright, recalled at this juncture, here
stated his firm conviction that the
wound had not been selfinflicted.
which he proceeded to prove, to his
own satisfaction and the entire be-
wilderment of everybody else present.
by the aid of great many polysylla-
bic expressions and a torrent of pro-
fessional phraseology. which swept
everyone off their feet. but which. on
being filtered down for the benefit of
the unlearned, merely amounted to
the following facts. viz, that the edges
of the wound. by which the bullet had
made It's entrance, were torn and
lacerated, as well as blackened and
burnt by the action of the gunpow-
der, that the skin in the vicinity of
the wound was blistered, the bleeding
slight. and chiefly from the orihce of
exit. and the two openings In the
scalp nearly opposite each other.
DR.. Cartwright. having brought his
evidence to a conclusion, row gave
place to another witness, and one in
whose power It might be to help to
unravel the mystery. This last was
the guard of the 4;30 train-an in
telligent looking man, who. with a
bandage round his head and one arm
in sling, bore tokens of the injuries
he had received in jumping from the
train while 1t was in motion.
On being questioned as to what he
knew OF the matter, he replied. with
out any hesitation, that he remem-
bered the fourth carriage from the
engine well. and the passengers that
It contained in that particular com
partment.

than one passenger in that compart-
ment OF the carriage referred TOT"

"And did you lock them in. and are

Recovering himself. he jumped from
his van and alighted on his feet, but
was struck by a fragment of some
thing and knocked down. He rose to
his feet again. though suffering from
wounds in the head. hand an knee,
and saw sight the like of which he
had never seen before. With his KEYS
in his hand, he ran up and down the
line. hardly knowing what he was
doing. As soon as he began to get
his senses back. which had been pret-
ty well knocked out of him. he un.
locked all the doors of the carriages
that he came to, though they were
already unlocked on one side. After
he had done all he could, he went and
sat down by the side of the line. for
he began to turn faint and dizzy.
While he sat there he saw a tall,
rather thin, elderly gentleman max
ing his way slowly towards him, who
limped little as he walked. AS this
latter came nearer he recognized him
as being the same individual who had
given him the tip, and told him to
keep anyone else from, getting into
the carriage.
Witness noticed that his face was
CHASTITY. and that he breathed like a
man who had been running a race.
but naturally put 1t down to the ter
rible shock and the fright caused by
the accident. AS he came up to him.
he (the guard) spoke to him and
said. Glad to see you're safe, sir!

But he only stared at him in a queer.
dazed sort of way. without making
any answer, and passed on down the
line.
