Bound Over In S7so.-B. A. johnson, a
teamster of this city, found it neces'
sary, yesterday, to prefer charge Of
grand larceny against bis roommate and
colleague, Lewis Bixby deckhand on the
steamer volga, by reason of the fact
that Bixby had lifted gold watch,
valued at $685. and $54 in cash, from him
the night before. Sheriff Pomeroy was
on the case and succeeded in finding the
purse which contained the money, hid
den in the bed Of Bixby, but no sign Of
the watch nor money could be traced.
Bixby entered a plea Of mot guilty"
but the case was so plain against him
that Judge Goodman felt compelled to
hold him for the grand jury and fixed
his bond at $3.50, which up to a late
hour last night, he had failed to satisfy,
he lies in the Hotel de Pome-
roy awaiting the inquiry Of tAe higher
court.

A Happy Rsscue.-Yesterday after.
noon while the big crowd Of bathers at
Seaside were indulging themselves in
the surf, they were startled by the pierre
ing screams Of woman, and were soon
cognizant Of the peril Of Miss Rebecca
Cohn. OF Portland, who was being swept
beyond the breakers. She struggled in
good fashion TO keep herself above the
tide and did 80 until she was beneath
the new Moore pier, where she clung TO
the piling with desperate hold and
maintained her screams uninterruptedly,
Harry Krtzer who was on the pier flung
of his coat and plunged into the sea
and was Immediately followed by Rev.
Mr.. Morrison, Portland divine, and
between them they brought her safely
to shore where she received every at.
tention. She was in such straits when
they got TO her that she tainted and was
unconscious when the sands were reach
ed, but happily recovered when she
realized her safety.

Engineers at Work on New Haven
 Roads Practice Track.

A class of six engineers of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rall- road. the first to be selected from l53 engineers who have declared their willingness to learn the working of the electric locomotives which are soon to replace the steam engines on the road, are receiving instruction in the operation of the new motor at Rye, N. Y.
 About a half a mile from the sta- ton at that point a practice track three-quarters of a mile in length, has been equipped with the third rail and overhead trolley. Up and down this stretch all day long one of the new motors built by the Vest inghouse company, which is install- ing the new power. has been run by the different engineers. who are be- ing initiated into the mysteries of electricity by Instructor welch. of the Westinghouse company. Forty one motormen fin all will he needed to handle the trains from New York to Stamford. the easterly end of the electric division.
 While the New Haven men are be- ing instructed in the operation of the third rail. stif the latter is only used within the New York yard limits to conform with the New York Central system. the power on the main line of the New Haven being conveyed by means of the overhead trolley.
 The new motors are different from those to be used on the Central which come from the General Electric con- pany. and look a good deal like an ordinary car. They are somewhat lighter than the Central's motors.
 One of the locomotive engineers who has begun to learn the new duties is s3 years old. and several over 60 years old have already an- nounced their willingness to drop a calling st which they have been en- gagged all their lives to take up q new one.
