Narrow Escape.

Sunday afternoon three town girls
had very narrow escape from being
killed on the P. r. r. No. bridge just
west of the big cut below town. They
were out walking. The 4.2O p. m. west
bound passenger train had gone down
and not expecting another train along
soon they started across the bridge, but
were only halfway over when an engine
and caboose came out OF the cut running
at fast speed. AS soon as the engineer
saw the girls he reversed his engine
and tried to stop, but did not succeed in
getting the engine stopped until fifty or
seventy-five feet on west side of br idge.
Fortunately the girls were In center Of
bridge and jumped down on the pier
and thus saved themselves from meet
ing horrible death. They did not
jump a second too soon, as the engine
struck the dress of one Of the girls Just
as she jumped. AS stated In this paper
last week, it is very dangerous bus
mess to walk over railroad bridges.

ROBBED SICK OLD MAN
Friends in Waterbury Took $20O
 and Turned Him Adrift.

The police gathered to their well coming bosom last night, says the New Britain Herald. one vincenzo Solario, an old man with a grievance against the world. He had walked there from Waterbury. Weary and i'll when he started, and cast down by the anguish of the discovery of false friends, who had come to him while he lay racked in bed of pain, and robbed him of $200. his life's savings, he struggled on to New Britain, and when the police found him he was all in.
 He was given a bed in the station for the night and this morning the chief, after hearing his story through the agency of James Palermo, the oficial Italian interpreter, had the poor old fellow sent to the hospital.
 Waterbury, according to the guide books, is twenty-three miles from New Britain. To cover the distance when one Is in health is trial, but to walk it while sick in body and heart was special trial.
 The people who robbed the old man of his savings, according to the story that he told the interpreter. were his friends, who had lived in the house with him and often par took of his hospitality.

STUNC FOR ss.sS
We'll Known Business Man Kept
 the Affair 10 Himself.

People who have no money think they are in bad box, but 1t is a
 question if they are not happier than folks who had lots of the long green and got separated from a portion of 1t without their knowledge. The
 public does not hear of half what Is going on in this line because many shut their mouths when they get bitten and prefer to swallow their indignation in solitude rather than have their troubles aired in the pa pers and made jest of by many who have scant sympathy for the misfor- tunes of their neighbors. In con- yersation with prominent business man to-day the fiim-flam game prac- ticed on Bank street hardware deal- CT was mentioned, and after laugh ing at the humor of 1t. he said: T suppose ought not to laugh, but can't help it. They say misery likes company, and I believe there is something in the old saw. The hard ware man must have felt like kick ing himself, but not more so than did myself when dapper young fel- low got into me for $1O the other day. I was on my way home on a trolley car when a stranger got on and sat beside me. He spoke about the weather and one thing or anoth- CT and when I reached the store and got off he alighted, too, and came in and asked for pound of frank furters. I put them up for him and he handed me $10 bill. I gave him back $9SS and he thanked me and hurried off. I thought nothing of the incident until later on when discovered that the fellow had pawned off a counterfeit $10 bill on me. I made no noise about it, but I think if could have got my hands on the flim-flammer when I discov- cred what had happened I would have handled him without gloves" This and many other things of the kind that never come to public mo- tice show how thankful people ought to be who have no spare cash to attract sharpers.

THE 2s HOUR LAW.
The Agricultural Department Gets
 After the Railroads.

Washington, D. C.-April Cit has become a fav0rite pastime to take q shot at Il railroad, if there be no otll- CT game in sight, the result being that the railroads are being peppered months. the agricultural department has gotten after the railways of the country vigorously for violation of the twenty-elght hour law.
 For a long time." said Secretary Wilson. commenting on the action of the department, we have been try ing to induce the railroads to obey that law. It is perfectly Just and humane act and is absolutely neces- sary to the proper transportation Of live stock. It provides simply that live stock shall be taken from the trains every twcnty-eight hours while 1t is being shipped so that the ani- mals may have food and rest and wa- ter. I warned the railroads long ago and many times that if they did rot cease violating the law 1 would in- rist upon having assessed against them in each case the maximum pen alty of $500 fine. They paid little attention to the matter. The fact Is. l apprehend. the officials to whom 1 talked and wrote supposed that their particular lines were obeying the law. I Judge SO. because I received assur- ances to that effect from many of them. As fact. however. the law was being violated by the subordinate operating officials of the roads. It made no difference to them whether a fine was being levied against the less. did not constitute factor In the equation they had to work out.
 Finally. I determined to stop. if possible. the wholesale violations of the law and we began systematically to gather evidence of the violations. It was a comparatively easy matter for practically every railroad in the country was guilty in some degree. For several months We have been transmitting to the department of justice from time to time. cases in which we have completed the proof Several hundred of these cases al- ready are pending and many hundreds more are ieing made up. I think w ubn udht rluding those sent to the department of justice for prosecution about fif- teen hundred violations of the law. In each case q fine of so will be in- sisted upon. If the levying of such c fine does not indtIce the railroad off, ciaIs to take notice. then we'll ask congress to increase the penalty
 The proof adduced in support of come of the cases shows that cat-la were kept on trains without food or water from forty-five fo ninety hours. The agents of the agricultural depart ment discovered. too many instances of cruel treatment of stock while 1t was being shipped The horns of eat tie often were broken of by rough handling. in some fnstanres the hoofs were torn of and it happened frp- quentiy that the legs of animals werr broken Secretary Wilson says that sII this will be rpmedied In tine. as he rropo~es to insfst upon a strict saDaryance Of tI1s law.
