ENGINEERS DREAM
 SAVED THE TRAIN
NARROW ESCAPE FROM RUNNING INTO A LANDSLIDE IS ExPERI- ENcED BY AN ENGINEER WHO HAD A VIVID DREAM.

Harrisburg, Pa, September 13.-conh- dence in a dream probably averted big wreck on the Northern Central road.
 Previous to reporting for duty at the round house Engineer James B. Burd, who pulls the Buffalo flyer leaving Har- rlsburg at 110 p. m. dreamed that his train had run into the landslides at a point between Dauphin and Halifax, flf- teen miles from here. He told his dream to several round house attaches, but they laughed at him.
 Engineer Burd, to ease his mind. de- termined to run slowly after passing Dau- phine So speeding his train up to the limit till Dauphin was passed, Burd slowed up. And 1t was well he did, for at a point some distance north of Dau- phin, identical with the place he had seen in his dream, the engine ploughed into a landslide. Going slowly, the engineer was able to bring his train to a stop with lit- tie or no damage.

He Was sittInn Down.

From Success Magazine.
 Fhe late James A Bailey, famous as the successor of F. r. Barnum. once ae- cepted an invitation to d dinner rendered to a bride ana groom among the "freaksa of his circus. He was late in arriving and found the company politely awaiting him. There were living skeletons, dwarfs Creassians. snake charmers, the girl that spoke seven languages and had two heads which made fourteen lan- euages in all" the "dog-faeed boy" and others. Beaming upon them with pater- nal air, the happy manager acknowledged the genial Hello. pop that went around the festM board
 ''I am sorry l kept you waiting" he said, taking his place at the table. 'I be- lieve there are several new additions 10 tho company. Is this the groom?"
 No. replied a deep voice from the fnl beard addressed. T am the bride"
 "1 beg your pardon said Mr. Bailey, "I did not recognize the bearded lady. But, tell me. which Is the groom? =
 "I am." proclaimed a very thin voice.
 In astonishment MT. Bailey glanced up al the figure towering near his elbow.
 a'I congratulate you, my man." said tho manager. Sit down. let us on with the feast-sit down"
 The guest addressed al once began 10 ascend seemingly until his head was in the nelghborhood of the canvas roof, from which height he looked down and said:

Rrazen Thief Gets Rusv.

Every time administration changes all sorts of thieves get busy and the last change Is no exception. It is supposed that every one that wants to steal, waits until things are slightly mixed and then start out.
 Childers, who lives on Fourth avenue and Sixteenth street, heard a noise in her 1 kitchen and upon going out to inquire the cause, she ran slap into a negro who when he saw her coming asked her if she could tell him where Mir Joe Wright lived Mrs Chlders realized at once that the man was thief and she ordered him out. In the meantime he had gone through the hall and swiped the only first class hat that Bob eyer owned, a brand spanking new Stetson
 Mrs. Childers rushed in her room and got out an old pistol that must have been used during Shermans march through Georgia, anyway. the pistol would not work or else she got cold feet, for the man turned around and had the nerve to ask her to try one on him.
 This same man or one of the gang, then paid a visit to Wygansky's store on Sec ond avenue He slipped off his brogans and moved into the store through a rear door He had pulled down a box of shoes and was in the act of lifting a s29S suit, when MT. Wygransky heard
 
 cause of it. The negro, when he heard the proprietor coming, executed a fling and go movement, and lit out through the back door. MT Wygransky, also took to the feet movement but he simply was not in the running at any stage. The black thug had him beat to frying pan finish. He passed him just like pay train passes a. local on the fifteenth of the month
 After MT. Wy, whatever his name is, saw that he was beaten in the stretch he had no more sense than to call on Frank Childers. one of the brides of the city to help him out
 Now everyone knows that Frank wears No. shoe on one foot and a No. II on the other and for that reason, 1t is not to be supposed that he could catch even a bal cold. Poor old Frank just to show that he did not wear No. badge for nothing, he started out after the negro, and that Is about all he did. He might possibly run mile in fifteen hours provided he had time enough, but in this instance, he was strictly up against it. The black shine gave him the merry Ina, ha," and went on his way rejoicing.
 When the negro saw that they were getting close behind him, he dropped the shoes, pair of ST. Edwin Clapp Spats, with Mir Wygransky to show him that there was no hard feelings. Mayor Rush instructed the policemen this afternoon to look out for every barefooted negro that they saw and take him into custody, and he made a solemn promise that he would see what was holding them up, if he ever got chance at them.

Electric Development.

There are 125 miles of electric street railways in Rio Janeiro, the current IS obtained from water power.
 new process for hardening steel has been discovered. The temper is increased by electricity and the new process Is said to be superior to any other
 The convenience of the wall switch in electric lighting is unsurpassed by any thing in the household use of electrici, 2.
 A special dispatch from London states that wearied society women arc now us- ing electric treatment for their nerves so ts to withstand the manifold duties of the social season. Specialists use an electric battery on the overworked nerves and the treatment has become a fad
 In Leipzig, Germany, four of the big fire fighting trucks and tenders are sup- piled with electricity from storage bat teries. Each machine s equipped with two motors of to IA horse power The machines can cover a distance of 24 miles without recnarging
 It has been recommended that new courses for the study of electricity be as- abolished at the Naval academy at An napolls.
 It has been found that electrical cur rents will soften concrete. This is of importance in the wrecking of old founda- tions.
 new development in switching appa- atus has been brought out by the General Electric company, designed and tested fer 100,000 volt operation.
 At the bottom of the sea there are in all 250,0O0 miles of cable, representing S250,- 000,000. The average life of the cable is forty years.
 An electrically operated clothes wrirger is one of the latest inventions for the domestic laundry.
 The size and voltage of transformers for use in long-distance tranmission work continues to increase. The General Elec- tric company of Schenectady, N. Y, are now building on order a number of trans formers of 7500 kw. capacity, for opera tion at 10000 volts.
 system of treating low grade iron ores in an electric smelter with graphite as a reducing medium, instead of coal has been invented by MT. Hiorth of Nor way. The Iron and Steel institute has awarded him a prize.
 Electricity Is enjoying a wonderful growth in Spain. Few localities exist where the electric light is not used, and everywhere industrals are adopting the motor drive system. The construction of electrical apparatus in the empire has not kept pace with the demand and dynamos and motors are imported from America, Germany and Switzerland
 The figures on the capitalization of cleo trc railway systems are given as SS .1G3, ,4s4, 900, or more than half of the amount invested in steam roads in this country. Electric light and power companies are estimated at $1,000, ,000000 each.
 The Texas Midland railroad, from Paris to Ennis. distance of 124 miles, will be electrified, adopting the third rail sys- tenn.
 The output of the Russian oil fields in the Baku district has been greatly in creased by recent installation of steam turbines to drive the electric dynamos and for the pumping installations.

GREAT EXPANSION
 OF FALL TRADE Dry Goods and Clothing Promise Large Business COTTON GOODS ADVANCE Break In Copper Leads to Report That Mines Will Shut Down-Produc-
 ton of Pig Iron Is
 Declining.
COTTON GOODS ADVANCE

New York, September 1S.-Brad- streets tomorrow will say;
 Fall trade in dry goods and wearing apaprel generally tends towards ex- pansion as the ultimate outcome of leading crops becoming more assured and as evidences increase of higher prices offsetting small yields. From the northwest reports are of orders previously held back now coming for ward and there Is evidence also of more life in southern trade and of improve ment in collections in that section as the cotton crop begins to move to market in good volume
 In the leading industries the notable feature is the sharp break in copper, the talk of reproduction and of nec- essary shutting down of mines.
 The cotton goods manufacturing trade offers a sharp contrast to others in sharper advance in printed fabrics.
 Coal also is better called for east and west. The general level of com modity prices moved lower in August mainly because of weakness in manu- factured goods offsetting higher prices of farm products. These latter have however. weakened this week and values IS a whole are lower than for nine months. The money situation is also irregular.
 More cautious buying in many lines east and west and the general complaint of slow collection despite improvement at the south are attributed in part to this cause.
 Pig iron markets continue quiet, al though there has been a some what better movement in basic forge and foundry iron at the east It is to be noted that production is declining, that some furnaces in the Pittsburg district and the valleys have been blown out and that the prospects favor a short age of 30 per cent in the seasons ship ment of Bessemer ores But on the other hand it is declared that smaller tonnage will be required the coming winter and shipping. Specifications on all finished materials are heavy. New demand for structural iron is fair.

Issue sanarelx Before People.


 As to the last proposition with a H. cense of $32O0 in a certain area, with d license of $500 outside of the above area and yet within the saloon district. in my judgment this proposition does not affect the case, and as to wether 1t is passed or not, 1t will not have the slightest h. iuence in settling the question of pro hibtion The issue is squarely before the people, where 1t should be. I still think that this question of license for the saloons for the year 1908 should not have been taken up until the regular time for making out the license schedule. | |, think those who have endeaYored to fix the license at S2500 in order to keep off the fight for prohibitou-for that has been their specific object in endeavoring to fix the license at $2500-should have left the question with the people until the regular time for fixing the license. This is the only appeal that has been made to me with reference to the $2500 license. | have stated before through the press that the license should not be raised for this purpose. The proposi- ton presented at the last called meet ing of the council may or may not pass. but whether it does or not, 1t is still for the people to decide whether or not we will have thes aloons. No man should presume to settle this question without an expression from them. lt Is not a question of license. high or low, fl is the existence or the nou-eXistence of the sa- looms "
