MOTORMAN SEES GHOST.

Passengers on Brighton Beach train
bound for the shore early yesterday
morning received bad shaking up just
after leaving the Sheepshead Bay station.
The train had hardly got under full
Roadway when the motorman put on the
arbreaks, bringing it shrieking to a
quick stop, tossing the few passengers
around and throwing several on the
floor.
Visions of wreck started them toward
the doors. but they we're halted by the
guards, who refused TO open the gates,
owing to the danger from the third rail.
The motorman, white as a ghost, came
out of the box and explained that a
man had appeared on the track and he
was sure the train had run over him.
The train crew, accompanied by sew
efsl of the most venturesome of the pas
sspgers, climbed down on to the rails
a1d went over the ground for some dis
t,nce searching also along the edge of
the new enbankment on which the
tracks run at that point, but there was
not sign ola body.
For about fifteen minutes the search
continued, but without result, and the
passengers began to wonder if the motor
man had not had nightmare. He in
sisted, however, that be had seen the
motor car strike a man.
He went back into the box and con-
tinued his trip, bat announced when
the train reached the COney Island tef-
minal that he was going to take few
days of and rest. II was said by one OF
the train crew that several Of the motor
men along the line had had just such an
apparitiou, and that they we're at a
loss to account for it unless it could be
attributed to the shadows from the trees
or posts along The track which were
affected fsntastically by the searchlights
on the trains.

Lancaster, Pa, July 26-Israel An
derson, a young man of Columbia, is ex.
pected to recover from rare surgical
operation performed at the COlumbis
Hospital. Last December he was acct
dentaly shot in the head by his brother,
the bullet entering an inch below the
left eye. The wound was probod to a
depth of almost four inches, but the
bullet, lodged in the brain, wss not re-
moved.
Several weeks later Anderson returned
to work in a rolling mill, and his case
was considered remarkable. Recently
severe pains in the head caused him to
stop work, and, the bullet being located
under X-rays, an operation was per-
formed by opening the frontal bone.
The bulle: was removed from the brain,
against which it had driven a small
p zee ofsmt o b bone as large as five-cent
piece, which prevented the lead from

HERR CUTLERY, an official OF the
srcAiye bureau of the Prussan railway
administration, has prepared compare
five table of statistics of those killed and
injured By railways in various countries.
He fads that both absolutely and rela-
lively railroads in the Uoted States
are th n desdy. The Unit d States
has more mileage than all Europe, but
even '4kiug that into consideration, the
United States holds pre-eminence in pro-
portional fgpres. 1t is little difficult
to reduce the casualty statistics Of our
own and foreign railroads to a perfectly
uniform basis, but the Interstate Com
mere Commission publishes the appal-
ling figures of the killed and wounded on
our railroads every three months, and
we fear that Herr Gallery has abund-
AIT foundation for his conclusion that
absolutely and relatively the railroads OF
the United States are the most deadly in
the world. There may be reason for
this, bit there is no possible justi6cs-
ton. The railroads of Europe give good
service, run at high speed and kill and
iuiare few persons. If they can do it
our railroads can, and it behOOves our
railr)ad officials TO prove it.

Philadelphis, July 26.-Fesring q

tons of meat by the rioters, all the

Mary came back, leading Stephen BY the

be there that she air her troubles. And
she bad them. Ever since her marriage
she told License Clerk George Watson,
her husband had persistenily fiirted With
other girls. Do what she would she
could not break him of the habit, aud
even in church, when her head would be
bowed in worship Stephen would be
making eyes at the pretty girls around
him. Once, she said, he went so ia, as
to take another girl to church and march
down into q second pew with her, while
she occupied their family pew, scarcely
able to control herself.
When Watson asked Kerlook if all
this YVES true, without the least shame
he admitted that it was true. "You
will have to sign a pledge to quit hirt-
ing" Watson told Stephen. After much
hesitation Stephen consented to take an
oath and attach his signature to it. in
which he agreed to never airt again.
Then the paper was given to Mary, and,
happy once more, she left The marriage

THE RAILROAD RATE MATTER.

After a conference with Gov. Glenn
and the council of State, Assistant At
torney General Sanford left Raleigh, n.
c., yesterday afternoon. 1t is said he
will confer with officials of the Southern
Railway in regard to the situation as
developed there yesterday.
After the close of the conference in
the afternoon Gov. Glenn gave out
statement saying that he had rejected
the proposal submitted by Mr.. Sanford,
and had himself made counter pro-
position, the substance Of which was that
the railroad must acknowledge the 2 IA
cents law and put it in effect before
other matters can be considered. He
will be willing then to let the Asheyille
habeas corpus case aud the Raleigh case,
in which the Southern Railway was
fined $50, 900, take their regular course
in the federal and State courts respective
ly, and allow every effort TO be made
to expediate the final hearing. In that
event he will counsel citizens not to
bring penalty suits against the railroad.
Asked what be would do in case the
railroads refused TO accept the terms
offered, the governor said that there was
nothing left for him to do under his oath
but to execute the law as best he could.
He said that at this crisis of affairs, if
no amicable adjustment could be made,
he would assemble the legislature in
extra session, lay the whole situation be-
fore it, and let that body take such action
as it felt just and right.
The significance of the suggestion that
the legislature be called in extra session
lies in the intimalion that it will be
called upon to deal with questions OF
eminent domain. This is important, in
view of the fact that the North Carolina
Railroad, owned by the State and leased
to the Southern Railway, is the key to
the Southern's system in North Carolina
and between the parts of its system north
and south of the State.
Mr.. Sanford asked the governor ii no
desired to confer with the railroad su
thorities. The governor told him that
he would be glad to meet representatives
of the roads and discuss all matters OF
detail, but he further told Mr.. Sanford
that it would be useless for him TO see
the railway representatives if they ex-
pected him to aunul the act of the leg
islaturA, for that course is strictly for
hidden by the constitution OF North
Carolina 10 the article referred 10 in his
telegram to Mr.. Brown.

The RaiIroad Rate Matter.

Asheyille, N. O., July 26.-Offcials
of the Southern Railway are in con-
ference considering an ultimstum sub
mitted to them by Governor Glenn last
night. The governor has rather turned
the tables on the company by his threat
to call a special legislative session to an
nul the railroads charter. His ultima
tum provides for the immediate accept
ance by the railroad of the p cent rate,
an appeal by the State from federal Judge
Pritchard's orders discharging convicted
Southern Railway ticket agents, an
appeal by the railroads to the State gu
preme Court, advancing both cases for an
early hesring, and cessation of further
indictments until decisions are reached
in the courts. Further than this the
governor absolutely refuses to go.
Asbeyille, N. @. July 26.--Assistsnt
Attorney General Sanford has returned
from the state capitol where be went to
confer with Governor Glenn looking TO
a peaceful solution of the railway rate
controversy. He was in conference for
sometime this morning with federal
Judge Pritchsrd and also with Southern
Railway officials. He will leave this
afternoon for Washington to report that
Judge Pritchsrd's course Is not dissimi-
lar from that pursued by other federal
courts. The refusal of Governor Glenn
TO compromise has resulted in another
tense situation and developments are
hourly expected from Marion, near here,
where State Judge Lyon is holding court
and where he charged the grand jury to
iudict the railway and its agents for
violation of the new rate law as they
would q pig or horse thief.

Boston, July 26.-For the last two
weeks, it was learned today, officers from
the United States ordnance bureau have
been visiting the forts along the New
England coast to find what big guns and
mortars could be spared for shipment to
the Pacific coast and the far east. Be-
lieving that the harbors at Boston, New
Bedford, Portland and other New Eng

The remote contingency OF war, with
fewer guns, supplemented by mines and
better coast defense methods, the govern
ment has determined to ship number
of pieces of heavy ordnance to the Phil
ippines. While the utmost secrecy has
been maintained regarding this project
it is said that the government has already
engaged steamships and "hatters" for
the transportation of the guns. Color is
lent to this news by the fact that for
the past few days officers from the ord
nance department have been surveying
the harbors of Boston and New Bedford,
for the location of mines.
