chIld Lay safeIy under lain.

A little girl of one and a half years
has just had a wonderful escape from
death near Cardross, England. While
she was at play she wandered upon the
railway track and sat down between
the rails. A freight train travelling at
high speed came along, and although
the driver applied the brakes, the
whole train passed over the child be-
fore it could be brought to a stop. 1t
was then found that with the exception
of a cut in the face the little one was
uniniured. Such an escape would be
impossible in this country, but in
Great Britain the engines have no
cowcatchers, and the ireboxes are
much farther from the ground than
here.

The timbers for the Bowery theater

ing on the old farm, hewed and fitted
the timbers. They were hauled by OK
teams to Portland, then transported
by vessel from there to New York
city.
Prof. Allen, an expert chemist,
after graduating from Yale college,
began work for a concern in Ohio
which had about $4,000 invested for
the purpose of nickel plating. The
stock of material was found worthless
when it was discovered that no one
knew how to work it. Prof. Allen had
a college friend in Germany, where
nickel plating was carried IN. He
was sent from this country to Ger
many to visit his friend, and after
staying until he had learned the Sc
cret process he returned home. This
was the first successful attempt at
nickel plating in America.

NEW YORK. Aug. 29.-To those who ex-
pectcd a tremendous manifestation OF bull
lish enthusiasm to follow the peace news
from Portsmouth. the course OF todays
stock market must have been somewhat
Disappointing. To be sure, the early an
nouncement brought an upward squirt, I'm
which the greater part of the list, lnclud-

this movement was not we'll sustained
being followed by periods of dullness and
some hesitancy. Operations broadened
later and the momentous event was re-

The conspicuous feature at the opening
here was Canadian Pacific, which advanced
TO new high record on buying credited
to foreign interests. There was a renewal
Of recent pressure on Reading and some OF
the other coalers moved in sympathy but
later recovered. The EFie issues, especially
the common exhibited unusual strength
the common making a new high record.
Amalgamated Copper was strong, with an
other advance, the fifth within a week, in
the price of metal. OF the other standard
issues Union Pacific sold exdividend OF
21s per cent was strong.
Although the news from Portsmouth be-
came known soon after noon, reports dis

until an hour or more that traders seemed
TO grasp Its significance. Much of the buy

though the heavy purchases Of the Japa-

carry prices higher. The better tone was
well maintained, the closing hour bringing
prices to the highest level Of the day.
Features of strength were the United
States Steel shares, Pennsylvania, Reading,
Southern Pacific and Chicago & North
western. A noteworthy feature was the
strength OF Americans on the London
curb, following the closing of the regular
market there. German banking interests
were reported to have purchased round
amounts of Erie Issues, as well as Japanese
bonds. reflection of existing mercantile
conditions was found in the semi-annual

Buyers wanted the cattle and went after

cases the best kinds went at little higher
prices. Western cattle were by no means
overlooked, but were picked up at about
steady prices. After buyers had their
more urgent orders filled they slowed un
