IT STARTED A NEW BREED 0F OAT.
TLE. ’lN THE DELAWARE VALLEY.
Coc Little’s Bills and‘ His Train Fuller! to
.Agree When [in Reached Port Jervis.
The Explanation Offered For the Car's
Strange 'Freak. ‘
“It isn’t likely that there is any-of
the Geo Little breed of cattle left in the
upper Delaware valley,” said a veteran
railroad man,‘ “because, by this time,
their identity must‘have been destroyed
though mixture with other breeds. It
doesn’t matter, for there was nothing
of particular note about that breed of
cattle, except the way they happened to
be introduced into that locality.
“In those days live stock transporta-
tion was one of the Erie’s big items of
traffic. Trains half a- mile long, loaded-
with horned cattle, horses, sheep and
hogs, used to pass over the road two or
three times a day. Such a thing is al-'
most a curiosity nowadays. Coe Little
was conductor of one of these stock
trains between Susquehanna and Port
Jervis. He left Susquehanna one night,
in those good old days of railroading,
with a long train of cattle cars. Those
trains were next to passenger trains in
class, and were run over the road a-hum-
ming. Conductor Little delivered his
train at Port Jervis on time, and hand-
ed over his way hills, which he had re-
ceived at Susquehanna, and. on which
the number, character and contents of
every car in his train were recorded.
When the agent at Port Jervis compared
Little’s train on this voucher, one car
was missing. The car was entered on the
way bill as having left Susquehanna all
right, but it wasn’t in the train. Its
place, according to the bill, was about
in the middle of the train.
“Well, here was a situation. One
Little declared that every car was in
the train when he left Susquehanna, for
he had checked the number of each one
on the way bill himself. He certainly
hadn’t delivered the missing car to any
one on the way, and he couldn’t see how
any one could have ‘sneaked in and sto-
len it, especially as the train had been
on the move pretty 'much all the time
between Susquehanna and Port Jervis.
A telegram was sent to the agent at Sus-
quehanna, asking for information about
the missing car. The reply was that
nothing was known there that could
throw any light on the subject; quite
the contrary, fer the ago .t corroborated
Little’s report. The car was in the train
when it left Susquehanna. ,
“During the efforts of the puzzled
railroad men at Port Jervis to solve‘the
mystery Of the lost car, sOme one dis-
covered that the can that should have
been just behind the missing one was
coupled to the one that should have
been just i 'tead of it without the _aidof
a coupling pin, the link being brokeii in
such a way that it had becgme armor,
Which Was fast in the pin 016 in the
”Coupler of the other car. This didn’t
help matters a little bit, and rather
deepened the'm'ystery. ' ' ' '
“They Were still deep in efforts-to
solve the mystery, and a car tracer was
- abOut to be sent back over the road to
see if he could find the car, when a tele-
gram'came from Shohola, a station, 16
miles west of Port Jervis. The agent at
that station said in effect that some-
body’s cattle car was astray in afield
along the Delaware river just beyond
Shohola station, and that somebody had
better come and look after it. The
wrecking gang was sent up from Port
Jervis, and, sure enough, in the middle
of a field, 100 feet or more from the
railroad, stood the missing cattle car,
right as a trivet, except that its doors
were open and its cattle gone. To get
where it was the car had run down a
ten foot embankment, across a wagon
road and through a stout rail fence.
“There was only one way to explain
the freak Of the car in quitting its train
so unceremoniously. Going east along
that part of the Erie the track is on a
heavy down grade. Just before reaching
Shohola the coupling pin that held the
car to the one ahead of it must have
broken. This divided the train in two
parts. The head car of the rear part
jumped the track, and breaking the link
that held it to the car behind it, went
on down the bank, getting out of the
way of the cars following on the track.
“When the leading section of the di-
vided train got to the foot of the grade,
its speed slackened. The hind section
caught up with it, and ran into the
rear car, but not with force sufiicient to
do any damage or attract attention.
The broken link, then a hook, happened
to fall into the pinhole of» the coupler
ahead of it. The train was thus recou-
pled and went on to Port Jervis without
the loss of a car right out of its very
center having been discovered by any
one. There is no parallel to this one in
the record of mishaps to railroad trains,
and it has never ceased to be a Wonder
to all old time railroad men.
“Well, whether the debris of the fugi-V
tive carwere broken by the‘ja'r and ”jolt“
of its trip down the ' bank, through the
”fence, and across 'the lot; or whether the
cattleinside kicked them open, I can’t
say. They were open, and the cattle
jumped out. It was winter, and the
Delaware river,-only a few feet away.
Was filled with running ice. The cattle
must have been in a panic, or must have
known that they were in Pike county,
Pa., or something of that sort, for they
plunged into that icy flood and made
their way across the river into Sullivan
county, N. Y. Searchers, accompanied
by the drover who owned them, found
and recovered them all. One cow, a
deep red animal with _ a white star in
her forehead, took the fancy of a farmer
,on whose premises some of the cattle
were found, and he bought her. w
_had twin. calves in the spring, each
marked exactly like the mother.
One
was a. bull calf, one a heifer. Because
of the way in which-the stock'happened
to be there it was called the Geo Little
breed; and for seine years was a‘ favor-‘
its breed among the farmers of that part
of the valley. ”—New York Sun.-

l
l WAsnINGTON, Jan. 10.—An echo of the-
press dispatches from Venezuela was
heard in the house today. As soon as the
journal had been read Mr. Livingston
(Dorm, Ga.) sent , to the clerk’s desk and
had read the‘followm'g resolution:
'Be it'resolved' by the house of represent
ati'ves, the" senate concurring, That the
president of. the United States is hereby
requested to forthwith as‘Oertain whether
Great Britain is advancing her outposts
on the territory in dispute between her
colony of British Guiana and the republic
of Venezuela. or is re-enforcing posts
heretofore established with troops, police
or ordnance, and should the president he-
come cognizant of the fact that a British
'military or police force is advancing to in-
~ vade or re-enforce or since the 17th day Of
December last has invaded or re-enforced
posts formerly occupied within said dis-
puted territory he be instructed to demand
the immediate Withdrawal of said soldiers
and the reduction of the police force in said
territory to a not greater number than were
occupying the British outposts on the
aforesaid 17th of December, 1895.
Mr. Livingston asked for unanimous
consent to make a brief explanation of the
resolution, but Mr. Boutelle (Rep, Me.)
objected, and the resolution was referred
to the committee on foreign affairs.
Dec. 17 is the date upon which the pres-
ident sent his Venezuelan message to the
house. I
A favorable report was made by Mr.
Bingha-m (Rep. , Pa.), from the committee
on appropriations, of a resolution recently
introduced by him asking the secretary of
the treasury for information as to why the
construction of the new Philadelphia mint
building had been delayed. The resolu-
tion was agreed to.
Mr. Brum (Rep, Pa.) corrected 3. state-
ment by a. Philadelphia paper that he had
“dodged” a vote on the recent bond bill,
explaining that he had been called home
by the illness of a son and asked a col-
league to explain that he would have
voted for the bill if present.
Mr. Henderson (Rep, Ia.) gave notice
that the report of the committee on rules
of the house would be called up tomorrow,
and'the house adjourned.
In the Senate.
While some protests were being present-
ed in the senate today during the morning
hour against the passage of an act that
would bring naphtha launches within the
jurisdiction of the act regulating steam
and sail vessels Mr. Frye (Rep, Me),
chairman of the committee on‘rcommerce,
took occasion to announce that there was
no intention on the part of the committee
to legislate against pleasure craft propelled
by naphtha, but that naphtha Vessels of
from 25 to 150 tons, which carried freight
or passengers for; hire, probably Fwould be
compelled to conform to the regulations
governing vessels. ‘ .
Mr. Frye introduced a. bill to reconvene
the delegates ' to the international marine
conference of 1889. In presenting some
petitions from Norfolk in favor of liberal
appropriations for seacoast defenses Mr.
Daniel (Va.) called attention to the
alarm which manifestly existed in the
minds of people along the seacoasts in
view of the rumors of war. While he
thought their apprehensions of bombard-
ment Were exaggerted, yet he expressed
the belief that our seucoast cities should
be adequately fortified to meet any emer-
gency.
A resolution offered by Mr. Chandler
(Rep, N. H.) was adopted instructingthe
committee on immigration to inquire
whether any legislation was necessary to
prevent the introduction into the United
States of aliens imprisoned by foreign
countries in their American colonies.
President Crespo’s Changed Attitude.
LONDON, Jan. 10.—A letter from Cara-
cas, Venezuela, to the London Times
says it is evident that it'is the present con-.
tention of President Crespo not to give
any satisfaction for the Uruan incident,
and that he is determined to cofnbine the
Uruan and frontier questions, regarding
them as one dispute. The Times corre-
spondent says that this is directly con-
trary to President Crespo’s previous as-
surances to him, and he recites at length
howr the change was brought about by
President Cleveland’s message to congress
and arrives at the following conclusion:
“By hook or by crook President Crespo
and his friends hope to entangle the Unit-
tad-States, and they Will not leave a. stone
unturned to accomplish this end. ”

Works Near Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Jab. 10.—'1‘he St. Louis
Car company and the American Car com-
pany, both of St. Louis, have taken an
option on a. 80 acre tract of land which
fronts on the Delaware river a short dis-
tance below Bridesburg, a suburb of this
city, and intend to locate large works for
the construction and repair of strata rail:
way cars. Vice President and General
Manager F. M. Kling of the St. Louis
company, President William Sutton of the
American-company, and committees rep-
resenting the twoboardsof directors made
a trip through the east recently to choose
a. suitable location. They visited Wilming-
ton, Del. ;. Long Island City, Newark, N.
J .; Ellzabethport, N; J ., and several other
cities, and received Offers of 1" ml induce-
ments, but Qhe preference 0 the Officials
Was for Philadelphia. The location select-
ed is a directly on the line of the
Penney] _ a railroad’s Delaware river
bridge _ro . - It was stated by represent
atives of the companies that if it should
be decided to locate in Philadelphia work
would be begun at once on the erection of
the buildings and plant in order to com-
mence Operations in the spring.
In connection with the establishment of
the new car works in this city it is stated
that it is probable that the Peckman Mo-
tor, Truck and Wheel company will also
remove its works from Kingston, N. Y.,
and operate in conjunction with the new
car works. The Peckham company em-
ploys about 150 skilled men. It is proposed
to locate the truck and wheel works 'on
the same tract of land with the car build-
ing plant. The plans Of the car companies
contemplate the preparation of most of the
material for the cars at the present works
in St. Louis, the erection of the cars to be
done here. This would require about 500
employees, but the addition of an extensive
woodworking plant, which is part of the
plan, would increase the number of Oper-
ators to about. 1,200.
COLORADO’S GOLD FEVER.
Rumors of Rich Discoveries In Holes Only
Five Feet Deep.
BOULDER, 0010., Jan. .10—Great excite-
ment prevails here over the new goldfields
situated between South Boulder creek
and Magnolia, and there are rumors of
riches being_uncovered by prospectors in
holes not over five feet deep. One strike
is alleged to be worth $100,000, and an
Offer of the same is said tohave been made
and refused. Frank D. Baker came down
from Walker’s ranch and reports that sev-
eral sacks of quartz had been sent to the
sampling works from the claim discovered
bythe White brothers. The gold was stick-
ing out all over, the quartz, and no accurate
estimate could be formed of the value of
the stuff, but it will be sold by the pound
instead of ten. The pannings made from
the ore are said to be wonderful, as great
rings of gold form around the pan with
each test of washing. The prospectors are
wild over _the outlook for a great mining
boom, and about 500 men are working
day and night in search of veins.
The new gold discoveries are on the
same mineral belt as the rich telluride
mines of Ballaret, Jamestown and Gold-
ville, Sunshine, Saina and Magnolia. In
each Of. these districts mineral has been
uncoveredat the grass roots.

“I suppose it was Kidney complaint.
The symptoms pointed that way, and
there was soreness Of the Kidneys. It
commenced about six months ago, and
grew into a constant backache, in-
creased by urinal trouble, until it was
painful to stand, and If sitting it almost
took my life to get up. I went to
Knight’s pharmacy, 97 Court St, and
bought a box of Dean’s Kidney Pills in
hopes of getting the relief I had failed
to find in other remedies, took them as
directed, and am well.”
“You are convinced It Was the Dean’s
Kidney Pills that affected the cure ? ”
It was. They are the best medicine
I ever took—there is no mistake about
that—and too much cannot be said for
them, and you may use my name as
much as you like as I shall personally
recommend them to everybody.”
Is it any wonder we are glad to make
this public? This very statement may
be the means of relief to many who are
within reach of Mr. Glidden. He cer-
tainly will be glad to answer any ques-
tions and verify all that is written
above. -
Dean’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
dealers, price 50 cents, or sent by mail

With songs in birdlike gushes.

“The Pathwaie‘ of Martiall Disci--
pline” (1581), by Thomas Styward, is:
full of plates and abounds in quaint re-f
marks. Giving the duties of a provost
marshal, we find: “He shall according;
to the lawes punish all offenders with';
out regard or respect of persons, and inf:
the market place shall set up a pair of!
gallows, both for the terror of the wick-,
ed and for execution upon them that Of-'
fend the lawes. That he shall set upon
all victualls brought to the market a7
reasonable price, that the seller and the
buyer may reasonably live by it. ” In:
the office of coronel (or colonel—the two
terms seem to have been introduced. at
the same time, but the latter became the
favorite), after mentioning his appoint-
ing of as many captains as is needful,
giving 300 men to a company, “which
is a convenient number,” fer if the men
are divided into smaller companies too
much money would be spent on the offi-
cers. With regard to the lieutenant, he
is to be “of great experiences, qualities
and behavior.” “The coronel shall also
examine the selections that the captains
have made of all the officers throughout
their companies, and if they be such as
ought to be, Or not much worsehe may
allow them, and not otherwise. ” - -'

supplementing the pikes. All the com-'
binations of men for drilling which are
given by various authors illustrate this;
thus for the defense from horsemen:
“Place the ranks of pikes every way.g
your shot next unto them, your bills (or.
halberds) and ensign in the midst, the
pikes ends couched down the better to
resist the enemy. ” . ‘
All kinds of dodges aretaught—thus :,
“If in sight of the enemy, which is su-;
perior in numbers, "the front. rank of}
pikes shall spread Out so as to admit thei
men of the second rank in the openi “
spaces. But if the enemy manifest a,
real intention of attacking, andf-th __

rank shall return to their places, and all?
shall serrie close together. The shot?
shall be placed in the voward and rears,

During the four years of the civil war‘
there were 107 pitched battles, 102 coni-

of regiments on each side and 362 skir-
mishes, sieges and other actions.
