During the winter of 1869 I was em• ployed as night operator in the railroad office at D , lowa. The principal road between Chicago and Council Bluffs runs through D-, and the great irregular night trains, and the constant danger of collision resulting therefrom, rendered the position of night operator by no means an easy one. It may be well to mention here, as necessary to the following story, that besides the railroad office, there was also at D- a business office of the Union company. This we always spoke of as the "down-town" office. tine stormy night, not far from eleven o'clock, I sat at my desk—and for a wonder, idle. The wires had nut called for some time, and I was leaning back in my chair, listening to the wind outside and reflecting on the loneliness of my sit uation. The eastern train had crossed the river more than an hour ago; all the depot officials had gone off home, and, so far as I knew, I was entirely alone in the vast Finally, tired of thihking, I picked up the evening paper, and glanced listlessly over its columns. Among otuer things, I read the detailed 'account of a fearful tragedy that had occurred fifty miles- up the river on the previous night. Three raftsmen, well known as d..!sperate charac ters in that vicinity, had entered the cot tage of one Matthews, a farmer living in an isolated spot—had butchered the far mer and his children, terribly maltreated his wife, and then departed as they came, having taken with them whatever plunder was handy. What interested me most was a full description of the chief of the vil lainous trio, Tim Lynch. IIe:e it is : "Five huudred dollars reward will be paid for information leading to the cap ture, dead or alive, of Tim Lynch, the ringleader or the Matthews tragedy.— Lynch is a remarkably large man, six feet four inches in height, very heavy, and broad across the shoulders. Eyes green• ish gray with a deep scar over the right one. Hair wiry, black, and beard of same color. When last seen he was dressed in a black Kossuth hat, faded army overcoat, pants of gray jean, and heavy boots. The above reward will be paid to any one fur nishing positive information-of his where abouts. Sheriff of -- county." At the very instant I finished reading the advertisement, there occurred the most remarkable coincidence that has ever come under my observation. I heard a heavy tread on the stair, and then the' door opened and there entered—Tim Lynch ! The moment I set my eyes upon him I recognized him as perfectly as though I had known him all my life. The army overcoat and gray pants tucked into the heavy boots, the massive frame and shoul ders, the slouched hat pulled down over hie right eyerto conceal—l was sure—the scar ; above all, a desperate, hunted look in his forbidding countenance—all were not to be mistaken. I was as certain of his identity as though he had stepped for• xard, pulled off his hat to show me the scar, and told me his name. To Fay that I las not alarmed at this sudden and unwelcome intrusion would be untrue. lam not a brave man. and my present situation, alone in the depot with a hunted murderer, was by no means reassuring. My heart beat violently, but from mere force of habit I arose and asked him to be seated. While he turned to comply I succeeded in conquering my agi tation to some extent. lie drew a chair noisily forward, and sitting down, threw open his coat, displaying by so doing a heavy navy revolver stuck in his belt.— Then he freed his mouth of a quantity of tobacco juice, and spoke : "Young feller," he said, motioning with his head toward the battery, "that thar macheen is what yer call a tellygram, I s'pose?" "Well," I answered, with a faint smile, intended to be conciliatory, "that's what we send telegrams by." 'Wal, I want yer to send a message to a friend o' mine out in Cohoe. I tell yer aforehand I hain't got no collateral, but I kinder guess you'd better trust me, young feller." (Here he laid his hand signifi cantly on his belt.) "I'll fetch it in ter morrow, of it's convenient." I hastened to say that the charge could just as well be paid at the other end by his friend. "Umph ! Plaguey little you'll get o' Jim, I reckon. Howsumever, proceed." "What is the message, and to whom is it to go ?" "I want yer to tell Jim Fellers, of Co• hoe, that the bull quit here las' night, and ther sheep'll be close on his heels." As he delivered this sentence he looked at me as if he expected me to be mystified. But I thought it best not to appear so, and I said carelessly : "I suppose you're a dealer in stock, and this is your partner ? Ah, sir, the tele grap h helps you fellows out of many a sharp bargain." "Ya'as," he answered slowly, evidently pleased with the way I took it. "Ya'as, that's 'urn. I'm sendin' down a lot o' stock. Bought it dog cheap over in Genesee yisterday. Purty lot as ever you see." I turned to my instrument. What was to be done ? Though ours was a railroad office, we often sent business messages; and if I did as usual now I should probably get rid of my unwelcome visitor without further trouble. But in my short conver sation with him I bad somewhat recovered from my first alarm, and I now conceived the idea of attempting the capture of Tim Lynch. I was only a poor, salaried operator, trying to save enough to marry in the spring. Five hundred dollars would do me a great deal of good just now—to say nothing of the eclat of the thing. But how was it to be accomplished ? Here was I, alone in the depot with a man big enough to whip his weight in such little men as I was several times over. Any at tempt to secure him single.handed was not to be thought of. But could I not excuse myself, and going out faFten him in? No; well I knew from the distrustful look in his face that any proposal of mine to leave the room would be peremptorily objected to by him. What, then ? Why, simply this; I would telegraph to the down-town station. But alas ! That very day the connection between the two offices had been cut for repairs. It was seldom used at any time, of course. But what of that ? It was only a question of a few seconds more time. All these things went through my mind F aith the rapidity of lightning as I went to the battery. Lynch regarded me from the: corner of his uncovered eye with a HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1875. suspicion that made me shake in my shoes. As I sat down he rose and came to my side. "Look a here, young foliar," he hissed in my ear, and his breath was sickening with the fumes of liquor, "perhaps ye mean fair enough—l hope ye do, for yer own sake. But I don't understan' nothin' 'bout them tellygrams, nad jilt want ter tell yer that yer'd better be squar'—for, by the Eternal God ! of ye go back on me I'll stretch ye on this yere floor as stiff as ever I did a man yit !" and I felt the cold muzzle of the revolver on my cheek.— Perhaps my voice trembled a little, but I was still unmoved in my resolution, as I replied : "Never fear, sir; I'll tell him all about the stoel' " l b muttered something to himself, and still remained standing over me. You have heard, perhaps, how much character and expression a telegraph ope rator can put into his touch. Why, there were dozens of different operators commu nicating with our office, and I could tell at the instant, without ever making a mis take, who it was signaling. You could tell if a man was nervous from his tele graphing just as well as you could from his hand-writing. The call that I sent hurrying across the State to Council Bluffs, must have rung out upon the ears of the operator like a shriek. "C. B. Are you there ?" was what I asked, and almost instantly came back a reply in the affirmative. Then with a trembling hand I rattled off my message : "For the love of' God, telegraph to our down-town office at once. Tell them that Lynch is within twn feet of me, qnd they must send help." A short pause, as though my message occasioned some surprise, and then came the response : "All right !" which assured me I need not repeat. "Wal," growled the deep voice of Lynch, 'are you going to send my mes sage ?" "I have sent it, sir." "What ? Does all this tickin' mean what I told you ?" "Yes, and if you'll wait fifteen or twen ty minutes, you'll get an answer." "Wal, I dunno as I want an answer. Jim, he'll understand it all right." "But I'll tell you soon whether he is there or not. Sit down," So Lynch reluctantly took his seat, looking around at the doors and windows once in a while in an uneasy way. I was determined to take him now at any cost; and I verily believe I should have planted myself in his path had he insisted upon going now. "Tick, tick, tick !" the battery called out, and I listened to the meisage "Keep cool. Gould has gone for the po lice." Strange it was, wasn't it, that I should sit there and talk through 250 miles of space with a man not half a mile from me? "What's that signcrfy ?" inquired my companion as the tickings ceased ; and. I replied that the clerk at -Cohoe had just written oft . the message and sent it out. He seemed satisfied, and settled back in his chair, where he sat in sullen silence, his jaws going up and down as he chewed his weed. Ob, how slowly the minutes crept along! The suspense was terrible. I sat and watched the minute hand of the clock, and five minutes seemed as many hours.— My companion seemed nervous, too. Ile moved uneasily in his chair. "Ain't it about time ye hecid from Jim ?" he asked, at length. "We shall get word from him in a few moments now," I answered, and fell to watching the clock again. Five minutes more passed. Lynch got up and began pacing to and fro across the room. At length be paused and said : ... don't - believe I'll wait any more; I've got to see a man awn at the Pennsylvania house, and he'll be ab• 0 el I don't get thar purty soon." "Bold on moment, and I'll see what they're tip to, I cried hastily, and I touched my key again. "Make haste," was my message. "I shall lose him if yoti do not. Not a moment to spare."— Straightway came the reply, short but en• couraging : "A squad of palice started for the depot five minutes ago." Thank Heaven! they ought to be here now. I looked at Lynch and then thought of the five hundred dollars. "Val, what's the word ?" he growled. "Your friend is coming," I answered, for want of a better reply. "Comin' Comin' ! lYhar ?" "Coming to the office at Cohoe. He probably has an answer for you." "An answer for me ? Jim Fellers ? What should he answer for—" Lynch stood in stupid thought for a moment, and then he looked at me with - a dangerous light in his eye. "Look a' here, young feller !" he cried, "it's my private opinion you're lyin' to me, and of ye are—" hero he uttered a horrible oath—"l'll cut yer skulking heart out ! I don't know anything 'bout that Char macheen, but I swar Jim Fellers hain' t nothin' to answer. More likely he'd git up and scatter when he heerd it." He stood glaring at me as he uttered these words his hand on his revolver. I cannot account for it. As I before re marked, I am a timid man by nature, but this action only made me bolder. Every thing depended upon keeping him a few seconds longer. It must be done at any cost. I tried a new plan. "What do you mean, sir ?" I shouted, rising, "by coming into this office and talking in this style? Do you think I'll endure it ? Leave this room at once, air, or I'll—" and I advanced threateningly to ward him. My unexpected attitude seem ed to amuse him more than anything else. but it silenced his suspicions. Ile put his hands in his pockets and delivered a loud laugh in my face. "Wal, wal, my bantam, ye needn't git so cantankerous. Who'd thought such a little breeches as you had such spu❑k ? Haw! bawl haw! Why, I could thaw you up 'thout making two bites o' ye." "Well, sir," I said, still apparently un mollified, "either sit down and hold your tongue, or else leave the office." And he good-naturedly complied. Once more we were sitting listening to the ticking of the clock as the minutes dragged their slow length along. Would help never come ? Three minutes more. Great heavens! The suspense was becom ing intolerable. I must go to the stairs and listen if I die for it. I arose and took a step toward the door, but a voice stopped me. "Hold !" shouted Lynch, standing up right, all his suspicions aroused once more, "yer can't go out of that door afore me Come back here !" "Sir !" "Come back hero, or by the eternal—," and the pistol muzzle looked me in the face. He stood now half turned from the door, and T was facing it. Slowly, and without a particle of noise, I saw the knob turn, and a face under a blue cap peep in. hank God! Help had come ! I felt a joy uncontrollable come over me. I must keep the murderer's attention an instant longer, till some one could spring upon him from behind. I walked straight up to him, but his quick ear had caught a movement behind. As he turned with an oath, I sprang upon him, and bore down his arm just as the revolver went off, the ball burying itself harmless in the floor Before he could free himself from my grasp half a dozen officers were upon him, and he was quickly secured. The next morning the papers were fill ed with glowing accounts of' the capture of the murderer, and praise of my conduct.— The principal business men of' the town made up a purse of $5OO and presented it to me; and this, with the reward that was paid me the following week, enabled Inc to get married at Christmas. Bat I shud der at the remembrance of that halt' hour I spent alone with Tim Lynch ; and I don't think $l,OOO would tempt me to go through it again. gentling for s ,1;, PerionaL Sartoris will return from England the latter part of May, and spend the summer at Long Branch with the President.

The general business of the country presents an encouraging outlook. The quantity of Bessemer steel ingots made in England for the past five years is given as follows, by competent authority, in gross tons : In 1870, 215,000 tons; 1871,329,000 ; 1872, 410,000; 1873, 496- 060 ; 1874, 540,000.
