WARNED IN STRANGE WAY.
Engineer Tells of Mysterious Signal
That Saved Train.

In the spring of 1887, when l was
engineer on the fast mail from Cleve-
land to Pittsburg &C. & P. R. r. }, the
following incident occurred: 1t had
been raining steadily for three days,
and in the hilly regions of Wellsville,
o., the hitherto small streams and
creeks had been converted into rag
ing torrents. My train was due at
Wellsviile at 1923 a. m, and being 81
minutes late, was running at full
speed, about So miles per hour, and
knew the track to be in good order.
and at this point free from probable
distractions of any kind.
My train was made up of four Pull
man cars, three mail cars, and bag
gage car, all the Pullman cars being
comfortably filled. We were ap-
preaching Wellsville when at a point
about one mile from a stream known
as Yellow creek, Just outside the
city limits, 1 put my head out of the
engine cab window to look for sig
nails when to my establishment there
was a red lantern swinging back and
forth across the track, just in front of
the engine, but as 1t appeared to me,
as high as the smokestack. l fran
tically closed the throttle, applied the
brakes, and showered the rails with
sand, which soon brought the train to
a standstill. All this time the mys-
FERROUS light was swaying to and fro
Just in front and above the engine.
l stepped out onto the track, but
there was no sign of light of any
kind, nor Of any person, but it would
have been quite impossible for any
human being to have tagged the
train, as above explained.
walked ahead some 500 yards. and.
not seeing any signal lights at the
approach of the bridge, l knew some
thing was wrong, and going a short
distance further 1 found that the
bridge had been swept away by the
flooded stream, which almost covered
the track.
What explanation can be given this
seemingly supernatural token, which
saved scores of passengers from an
untimely death and a watery grave?

RecIpe for Mint punch

Wash and bruise fresh spearmtnt

quart bowl. Cover with boiling water
and steep for ten minutes Strain,
chill and add one cup OF grape Juice
and one cup Of strawberry or rasp-
berry juice, either fresh or canned.
Sweeten to taste, using a syrup made
by boiling equal quantities of sugar
and water for ten minutes. This and
all similar drinks are much more
bland when sweetened with this syrup
than when raw sugar is used. Mint
punch may be varied by using these
fruits, such as lemons or currants; a
few tiny sprigs of mint should float
on the punch bowl or pitcher.-Good

The FIGHT BEGINS.

x few weeks ago some of the leading
Democratic papers of Virginia began to
agitate the question of the Democrats
of this State holding their convention
early next year and to outline plat
form or policy for the National Democ-
racy for 1905 With this agitation came
another, and that was, what will be the
attitude of these Democratic papers
toward Mr.. Bryan, if he should be the
nominee of the party, and upon a
platform that he will approve? The
Richmond News Leader and the Times
Dispatch have both been reluctantly
forced to say that they would sup
port Mr.. Bryan on a proper Democratic
platform. The Times Dispatch has
coupled its promised conditional support
with an explanation of why it refused
to support Mr.. Bryan when he was the
Democratic candidate for President in
1856 and 1900.
The Bryanites are not disposed to
place much faith in the promised condi-
tional support of the Dispatch.
The Staunton Spectator, a rabid sup
porter of Mr.. Bryan, says:
The RichmondTimes-Di Dispatch comes
limping in with a new excuse for oppos-
ing Bryan in 1896 and aligning itself
with the" StoolPigeons, ''Renegades, &"
''Deserters, " and Judas Iscariots" of
that memorable period about which
we have heard so much"
The Times-Dispatch had declared:
at was not Bryan but the platform of
1896 which the editor of the Times
Dispatch opposed"
The Spectator calls this a lame ex-
cuse, and treats the promise of the
Times-Dispatch to support Mr.. Bryan
next year, if he is placed on truly
Democratic platform, as an absurdity
The Spectator charges that its Rich
mond contemporary would have sup
ported either Cleveland or Parker if
they had been put upon the Chicago
platform, and ends its ridicule and crit
icism of the Times-Dispatch by saying:
yet why not admit that it does not
Ike Bryan personally, that gold bug
and a silver bug do not feed on the
same food, and that the candidate for
President is everything, the platform
nothing but hot air, for these are facts. 4"
We think in one particular the Spec
tator has sized the Times-Dispatch up
correctly. The Richmond paper was
safe in pledging itself to Mr.. Bryan if
he should be placed upon a platform
that set forth Democracy to its liking.
There is not the slightest possible
chance of Mr.. Bryan doing that to the
satisfaction of the Times Dispatch or
any of the Democrats who bolted him
in 1906. He will make the platform to
suit his views, and accept the nomina-
ton on none other, that is from the
Democracy. He will be willing to run
on his own platform and accept nomina-
tons from all the numerous parties that
oppose the Republicans and stand in
with the Populists and Socialists. If
Mr.. Bryan is nominated by the Demo-
Gratis next year, the Times-Dispatch
and all other papers and persons who
refused to support him before may as
well prepare to yield their faith and eat
crow, or be denounced again as rene
gades, deserters, etc.
