Railway Accidents,

Railway experts are continually
seeking means to avoid accidents by
insuring thoroughness of construction.
A device just coming into use on the
English railways is screw used for
fastening the rails to the ties. These
are supposed to be screwed home with
a spanner, but the workmen were &C.
customed to hammering them home,
saving labor, but decreasing the eff
cheney of the screw. Now screws are
made capped by cone of soft metal.
Two or three blows of hammer will
flatten this cone and result in the de-
lection of the careless employe.-New
York Herald.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

Bradstrect's says: "1'rade reports,
crop conditions and, to 6 lesser degree,
collections, display an improved appear
ance, the result of rather better weather
conditions. Clearing skies and more sea-
sonable weather have made for better
retail trade, improved recorder business
with jobbers in seasonable goods, and
last, but not least, have cleared the crop
situation and allowed some measure OF
ascertainment of the damage done by
excessive rains, high water or low tenn
perature in widely separated areas.
Weather and crop irregularities color
trade reports, but it is to be noted that
the Northwestern cities return very op-
timistic reports, the Central West is
cheerful and some Southern points re-
port trade better than anticipated earlier.
Effects on trade of the backward spring
at the East are being repaired. Indus
try is still active, though the iron and
steel trades are rather quieter, with
crude materials easier, though scrap is
in rather better tone. Building is active
in the country over, and, except at Chi
cago, labor troubles are not seriously
aampering. All kinds of building mate
rial, including lumber, brick, cement,
glass, paints, oils and hardware, are act
,vely called for. Collections show lit
lie change, except in the direction OF
Improvement in certain Western CEN
:ers. Money is still easy. The textile
trade shows irregularity in different
ines. Cotton goods, as a whole, are
strongly held, but demand varies &C
:ordingly as different varieties are con-
,idered. Wooden goods are rather quiet
nut strong. Manufacturers arc buying
quite literally of high-priced wool, the
after article being at the highest price

NERVE SAVED STEVE BRODlE
Charley Mitchell Thought Better Of
Intended Chastisement.

The presence in New York OF Milton
ell, once boxing champion OF England.
recalls an incident in the strenuous
career of the late "Steve" Brodle'
who jumped from the Brooklyn bridge
nearly a score of years ago to glory
prosperity and histrionic fame. Brodie
visited London in the early nineties
where Mitchell, playing the part OF
cicerone one night. introduced the
Bowery boy at the Spooferies CLUB, a
resort for prize fighters, horse Jochles'
and their kind, where the festivities
are seldom concluded before daylight
and the police have more than once
been called upon to restrain merrl
ment.
In the course of a general converse
ton the English fighter happened te
make some adverse comment upon the
then mighty John L. Sullivan, when
called forth a sarcastic remark from
Brodie with reference to MitchelIs
abilities as a sprinter while in the ring
with the American champion.
With an oath the Englishman gave
the smaller man push that sent him
Keeling ten feet backward, and then
rushed upon him to administer correc
ton for the others temerity. Brodle
was due for fearful bruising, but the
Bowery boy was equal to the occasion
He was erect on his feet with pistol
In his hand when the prize tighter
reached him. Putting the weapon un
der the others nose, he remarked
calmly:
"You t'ink you're goin' to make
reputation off lickin Steve Brodie'
don't yer? Well, you just hit me once
and there'll be a lot in the papers
about 1t, but you won't read it."
Fully approaching the inutility OF
post-mortem notoriety, Mitchell ex'
planned that he was only joking, and
the incident was closed.-New YORK
Times
