He quickly reversed his engine, and stopped the train, just as the front wheels of the locomotive were within two yards of the infant. People who were on the train say it was the quick est stop they ever witnessed.

The palace oltlcers also report that two or three transports have sailed from Spain for San Juan. There was a great feeling of relief on both sides at the receipt of this news. The evacuation of Lures, Aguadllla and Ran Sebastian occurred this morn ing at nine o'eloek, our troops taking possession and raising the American Mag, and the Spaniards retiring to Are cibo. On Wednesday morning the Spanish will evacuate Vieques island, on the southeast coast, and the garrison will remain temporarily at Humacao. One company of our troops Is already at Vieques island and another at Huma cao. The commlsfeionerr. have agreed that it would be well to allow the soldiers on both sides to fraternize, and have also agreed that soldiers in pursuit of bandits may enter the opposing lines. This action wipeß out the neutral zone, which has been a safeguard against the bad element, and is taken with a view of conserving good government in the island, in which both sides are in terested, and as the result of depreda tions which have occurred between Cl ales and Utuado. The United States troops are now in possession of all the Islund save that part northeast of a line from Arecibo through Aibonite and Cayey to Huma cao. These places would be evacuated Im mediately but for the fact that there is no room for any more soldiers here. Every available sleeping place is now occupied. Sickness continues among our troops but it is not increasing, and there are no malignant diseases. General Brooke has ordered that ev ery tent in the island must *have a board floor.

A Question to Settle- The Northumberland County Court will have a case of peculiar merit to settle in the near future. A family named Eagait moved into an empty house, the door of which they found open, in Shamokin, without the knowledge or con sent of the owner. This was a month ago, and since that time they have refused to either pay the rent or move out. The owner not desiring to use forcible means of ejection resorted to the law, serving some kind of a notice on the ten ants. The latter are laughing at the legal procedure, and the law yers are looking for a fee in con nection with the case. Contrary to the usual order of things, this is an instance where it isn't "cheaper to move than pay rent."—Milton Record. Try Allen's Foot-Ease, A powder to be shaken into the shoes.
