BALTIMORE AND |OHIO RAILROAD HISTORY

Robert Garrett wanted 1t for the Bal
timore g. Ohio. Thomas A. Scott
wanted It for the Pennsylvania rail-
road. That railroad was the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington & Baltimore.
Just at that time 1t was naturally the
most desirable thing in the world for
the B. G. O., and likewise for the
Pennsylvania.
Robert Garrett set about to ac-
quire the property He learned that
several of the largest owners of stock
lived in Boston. With their stock in
his possession he could easily get
control of the majority So he went
to Boston, where his negotiations
were eminently successful. Already
in his minds eye he saw the B. & o.
trains rolling into Philadelphia.
But Robert Garrett was never a
self-contained man. He drank deep.
Arrived at New York he went to a
dinner party. Some corporation law
yers were among those present. At
that dinner party the bottle of cham
pagne that cost millions was opened.
Robert Garrett drank 1t. Flushed, he
could not keep his triumphant secret.
But one man. whose legs were under
the mahogany did not drink. He ex-
cused himself about 10 p. m. and left
the table. Before daylight he was In
Philadelphia and at the mouse OF
Thomas A. Scott, president of the
Pennsylvania The next morning
emissaries of the Pennsylvania were
hurrylng to Boston and other points
to get hold of the p, w. & b. stock.
BY 9 o'clock the next day the papers
were signed, 100000 in cash paid
over, and the Pennsylvania had con-
troll of the Philadelphia, Wilmington
& Baltimore.
When Robert Garrett awoke on
what he firmly believed was to be the
morning of his triumph the newspa-
pers were full of the deal between the
Pennsylvania and the p, w. & b.
Robert Garrett then determined that
the Baltimore & Ohio would build Its
own line into Philadelphia. This IT
finally did.

ICE FROM THE GLACIERS.
Novel Industry Growing Up i'm Swift
zerlaDd.

The introduction of electric rail-
ways into Alpine districts has been
tic means of establishing new ana
somewhat strange industry-nameiy
the uuarrying of glacier ice for dis
tribution in large cities.
1t would appear that certain OF the
Swiss communes have been able TO
grant concessions of their glaciers Tor
this purpose, and considerable sums
have been expended in constructing
ice slides or V-shaped troughs, in
which the blocks of ice, often of large
size, blasted out of the glacier are
transported to the vicinity of the sta
tions for conveyance, in carefully re-
frigerated vans, to Lyon and other
large cities remote from the Alps.
The method of blasting with black
powder so as to avoid the discolora-
ton and soiling of the ice, and the
engineering ability displayed in erect
ing the slides and in providing suf-
ficient friction by means of curves TO
avoid excessive speed in the down.
ward journey of the ice blocks, are
spoken of by the London Times as
examples of considerable ingenuity
and skill.
Glacier ice, which is perfectly pure
and transparent, and which has many
qualities which are greatly appreci-
ated by consumers. commands high
or value than that of the usual kind
obtained from the surface of frozen
ponds or lakes, A singular feature
in connection with the preparation of
the ice for the market is that it has
been found necessary to store it for
some days in special warehouses,
| formed of double thickness of board
ing with a stratum of sawdust inter-
posed, in order to remove coating
of frost or non-transparent ice which
tends to form on the surface of each
block as 1t leaves the glacier.

THE TRUE STORY Or HOMER DAVENPORT

Homer Davenport, whose cartoons
H. various New York papers have
played a telling part In some of the
presidential and local political cam
prigrs, and which between times
have illuminated subjects of passing
interest with remarkable pertinency,
is described as one OF the real nota-
bles of the New York newspaper
world. Frederick Dean, who writes
OF him in the Editor and Publisher,
(New York; tell us that when Daven-
port came to the city "he brought
with him large heart, a big head ana
n sharp pencil" "He came q lover
OF dumb beasts and a hater of human
weakness and h uman vice"
What he has done Is realized In
Part by most re aders Of the New YORK
press, but the present writer tells, IN
addition to VIII at he has done, some
thing of the sort of man he Is ana
how from the cradle, almost, he has
been "predesti ned" for success in the
work which hsi has chosen.
Caught In I he whirl of overfeeling
against the as ;grandizement of power.
Davenport ins tinctively turned his at
tention to the amelioration OF the
condition nf the weaker under-brother
and with the only weapon at hand
his pencil began battle royal
against what he considered right, JUS
tice. truth, re al manhood.
The pencil, guided by the head, has
done its deadly work, and the world
at large knows him only for his clever
cruelty to those in high office. To
his intimates has been given the
pleasure OF seeing the kindlier side
the big heart of the man that enVel-
ops the cruelty of the caricaturist.
Davenport Is a natural-born cartoon
maker. His part in the worlds work
was predestined, foreordained. He Is
an incarnation of a Michelangeio, with
talent turned aside to the specific
use of satire. A true student of ma
ture, his play on his fathers farm was
his loving care of the young animals
ahorit the place, his chief occupation
was drawing, drawing not only the
thin gs that he saw about him, but
the fancies of llis brain, and these he

on any sheet OF paper that came to

In the days that Thomas Mast was
in hi S glory, Ho mer Davenport's moth

fore; ,fulness of the man and his Pc

10 Bridge Snake River.

A dispatch from Salem says: A
state appropriation of $4,000 is
asked for by a bill introduced in the
house by King of Malheur for the
construction of bridge across the
Snake river at ontario. The appro-
priation is made contingent upon the
appropriation of a like sum on the
part of Malheur county. The bill
also provides for the appointment OF
a commission to be known as the
board of Snake river bridge commits
sioners, and this body is to have
charge of the construction of the
bridge and the expenditure of the
money appropriated by the state ant
raised by the county.

CHICAGO POLICEMAN DRAC3
HIMSELF To STATION, BODY
RlDDLED BY SHOT.
TRAPPED BY CAR THIEF
Biuocoat Arrests Three and is Ter
ribly Wounded With Concealed
Shotgun--Not Likely. to
Recover.

Chicago, Aug. 2G.AOne of three
freight car robbers yesterday emptiad
both barrels CT shotgun at close
range into the body OF Policeman Ed
ward H. Brink CT the Kensington po
lice at One Hundred and Twenty
! third street and the Illinois Central
tracks.
The wounded bluecoat, pierced by
mere than 100 shot, fell to the ground
and the robbers, whom he had con
fronted In the act Of breaking into
a car, escaped.
Grieyously wounded as he was ald
fast losing consciousness through the
Iagong cf his hurts and loss Of blood,
the heroic officer dragged himself 70
his STATEN, more than a mile away
aud pitched senseless on the floor at
the captains feet.
1t is doubtful whether Brink can
recover, though the shot did not enter
any vital spot, imbedding itself IN
his hands and legs.
Erink was patrollilg the tracks
when he heard voices from behind q
row of freight cars He climbed eyer
coupling between two cars and saw
three men breaking through one Of
the doors with chisel.
The policeman drew his revolver
and ordered the robbers to march he
fore him.
He followed, scme three PAGES to
the rear, holding outstretched his
weapon, and the strange march pro
ceeded along the desolate stretch to;
ward the station.
When they had proceeded about
100 yards one Of the thieves wheeled
sharply isfattAsGing with the same mo
tion d heavy shotgun which he hal
concealed under his coat aud down
his trouser leg.
Without word he pulled beth trig-
gers at distance of less than fifteen
feet from the bluecoat As Brink
fell the trio ran and made gccd therl
escape in the direction of Dalton,
which of late has become a retreat
for highwaymen aud thieves who in
fest the southern limits Of the city.
Brink called weakly for hep, but
there was not another human being
within a mile. At least he dragged
himself to all fours, and, with the
cinders cruelty cutting his hands and
leaving a trail of blood as he pro-
ceeded, he made his way to the sta
ton more than mile away, where he
collapsed.
An ambulance was summoned and
he was hurried to the home of rela-
lives at S4S Erickson avenue, Pull
man.
A dragnet of police was ordered |
)ut to capture the three desperadces
and the men rushed out with willing
hearts to avenge their comrade.
Within two hours ten suspects had
been drawn into the net and inn
)risoned in the Kensirgton cells to
await scrutiny by Brink when he
shall have sufficiently recovered to
De taken to the station.
