PERILs OF THE IRON TRAIL.
Hazardous Early Railroad Construc-
tion Illustrated With Cody's Show.

Iyplcaf western scenes form an tmpOr-
tant part among the history pictures pre-
sented with Buffalo Bilrs Wild West and
Pawnee Bills Far East, and one Of the
most engaging will be the great train
hoid-up by Indians. This scene depicts
the peril of railroad construction in pio-
neer days. and the fact that those times
have passed away makes them all the
more important and interesting in the
present delineation. Utilized as basis
for the scene a practical engine draws
practical train of cars.
The Indians are first seen to surround
and attack a section gang, which is re-
pairing break in the track, but the on
slaught is not made until connection has
been made with the telegraph wires over
head. Word OF the break Is transmitted
to the oncoming train and warning is
given of the presence Of Indians. When
the express finally arrives there is a
heavily armed guard accompanying 1t.
the Indians being attacked and extermin-
ated.
In those days the pictures II western
life, which are given in mimic replica
with the wild west were realities, and
the student of history finds in the Buffalo
Bill and Pawnee Bill exhibition a re-
Election of the early struggles of the pio-
neer In reclaiming the western wilds.
Other typical western scenes will be the
battle of Summit Springs, an attack on
the emigrant train, and holiday at
TIE ranch.

LIGHTS ON DAY BEACoNs.
Shoals Near Maryland Point to Be
Marked at Night

In response to numerous requests made
by steamboat men, the lighthouse au-
thorities in charge of this district have
authorized the establishment OF lights on
three day beacons on the Potomac be-
tween Maryland point and Lower Cedar
point at the following points:
Port Tobacco creek flats, Netompkin
point middle ground and the Persimmon
point shoals.
These shoals are now marked by day
heacons but at night there is nothing to
guide the mariner who does not have a
searchlight to aid him in picking his way
up and down the river. The lights to be
displayed on these beacons will be white
and will be the eight-day burning type
of lanterns so that they will only have to
he visited once a week to see that they
are supplied with oil, unless an accident
should occur to extinguish the light. No
day has yet been set for the establish
ment of these lights, but it is understood
that the lighthouse engineers steamer
Jessamine will within the next two or
three weeks visit the Potomac and rake
the necessary changes in the beacons and
install the lanterns. These additional
lights will be of much advantage to Po-
tomac navigators, and they are more
than pleased that they are to be estab-
liShed.
