MALONK'S LAST RUN.
A little knot of smoky, begrimed en
gineers, firemen and switch tentleTS were
sitting together on a tool box at the east
end of the truin shed at Altoona. The
silence of the night was broken only by
the monotonous puff, puff of a shifting
engine dragging a heavily loaded west
bound freight to the upper yard.
Through the maze of tracks gleamed
scores of red, green and white lights
marking the switches. The group of
train hands were idling the time away
until the hour should come when the
engines should be brought out to haul
the two sections of fast line. "No.
4," over the middle division to Htir
risburg. There was yet a long time to
wait, for the bell on the machine shops
had just tolled 11, and the train was not
dne until after midnight, The crowd
on the Logan house porch, that great re
sort of Mountain City inhabitants, was
thinning out, nnd as tho air grew more
chilly the lively conversation halted and
the men on the tool box became silent
and thoughtful.
Suddenly one of them exclaimed:
Here comes old John Malone. Let's
get him to tell us that story about the
last run he made. Hi, therel" he con-
tinned in a louder voice. "John, John
Malone!"
The passer stopped and peered in
through the railings.
"Oh, is it you, Billy.-' ho ejaculated.
I couldn't make out who was calling
me. JSly eyes ana ears are not as gooa
as they were ten years back."
Billy soon had the gate open fof Ma
lone to enter, and as the two drew near
the others the old man asked, "What are
yon sitting here for, and what do you
want with mef
"The same old thing, Johnny; we re
waiting to take out first section of four,
and to pass the time we want you to tell
ns again of that trip you made back in
the eighties which made yon leave the
footboard."
The old man took a seat, filled and
lighted his nine and puifed away vigor
ously for a while before replying.
"Well, boys," he said at last, "I don't
particularly like to talk about that run,
and it is hardly the right kind of a story
to spin to you as you are going to take out
the same train I had that night, but if
you want to hear it I'll go ahead.
"It s hern a good many years ago. but
can spb the whole thing as clearly as
the night it happened, and it was no
dream, though everybody thought so.
peedn t tell you fellows that fast line
was the first east bound passenger train
after Ibe mail exnvess. which left here
about 7 o'cloc'c. Wo generally got the
train from the Pittsburg division about
half an hour t3 an hour late, but as we
only flagged at Tyrone and Huntingdon
we always rame lntollamstmrgon time
to the second. This was easy on a down
grade and a hundred and thirty mile run
without a hi op. The way we used to
yank the coaches along the river was
caution, and many's tha time we rattled
over the Juniata at n mile a minute, not
even slowing down for hpruce creek
tunnel.
"At that hour of tho night we nearly
always got the white light from tho
towers. Now and then the green would
be given nnd we had to reduce speed
but rarely the red. Well, this thing of
running iv train like four with a clear
track, no stops and' nothing to see but
the ballast and trees alongside of the
rails makes a fellow .grow indifferent,
and I won't sav a little nervous. It
wearing on'a man to hpeed along througl;
those mountains hour after hour in the
middle of the night, never seeing a light
except in tho tower, and feeling the cold
air blow in on mm trnm those hills m
ing hundreds of feet overhead. An en
gineer cannot tell-what Instant he's go
ipg to crash into a landslide. I tell you
a night run is enough to make a man
feel mighty solemn when passing through
Jack's Narrows, or halt a dozen other
barren rooky spots, such as can be found
between here and the Susquehanna, nil
of which yon boya know well.
"The night I was speaking of we left
here thirty minutes late, and a hot
box on the smoker held its fifteen min
utes more at Tyrone Forges. When we
got started again I pulled her wide open
and let her rip. We had nine cars on
three of them sleepers, nnd that waa
heavy load for one of the old style en
gines, but we bumped along at a lively
rate. Beyond Huntingdon we fairly
hummed along the canal, depending nl
together on the towers, for it was
dark we couldn't see even the Juniata
right Mow us. We had no further
trouble as to delays. The east bonn
freight and coal trains were all side
tracked, and we did not even get a green
light until we reached Lewlstown June
tion.
Somehow or other I was not feeling
myself that night, and I don't believ
the fireman and I had half a dozen Word
in the first hundred miles. As we run
through the Narrows I leaned out of the
cab and kept an eye on the track for
rocks. It was impossible to see any dis
tance, howover, and as I turned aroimd
to look for the tall lamps on the rear
sleeper I thought of the scores of people
behind me riding in fancied security,
while the only safeguard from wreck
was In Providence. Straight up on the
right rose the mountains for nearly a
thousand feet, and on tue outer nana was
the Juniata, dark and unreal iti the wav
ering glare of the headlight.
"On and on we went, past little vll-

ABSOLUTELY PURE
lages and farm houses, shooting over tho
road crossings and crushing by empty
stntions, nil of which I knew by instinct,
for there were no lights to toll us.
"As we drew newr the Susquehanna
the air became clearer, and when we
came within sight of Duncannon the
great limning sfheks of the iron Works
shone nhend of us like inmionso torches.
We wero ngnin on schedule time when
we passed through the town, and as we
ran along the bank of tho Susquehanna
I slowed down a little. Away across the
water I could see the tall switch signals
on the Northern Central tracks. By and
by I caught ft glimpse' of a headlight
and then the fuitit glow of car windows,
although so far distant that the train
was scHrrely visible through the slight
mist rising off the liver. I called the
fireman's attention to the train, remark
ing that the Northern Central cofWction
of 'four' was late, nnd that no doubt we
would get tho red at Rockvillo lower, as
the other train should clfctr ns at least
seven minutes, but Jimmy, after taking
long look, said he couhltut see across
the river on account of tho Tog.
As you all know, tho old Northern
Central bridge was then standing, and
the tracks of that road cut right through
ours nt Mnrvsville and entered tho
bridge jnst after rrossing our west bound
rails. The bridge, now torn down, was
even then considered unsafe, nnd was
rarely used, the through passenger trains
on the Northern Central being run on
the east bank of the river to Itockville,
then on onr tracks to Ilarrisburg, and
then over the Cumberland Valley bridge
to their own road again. Well, as I
drew near Marysvillo I kept my eye on
the other train, which I could see dis
tinctly, thinking that we would let it
tve a good start, so as not to get
blocked when we crossed the river. We
were not running more than twenty-five
miles an hour, and when finally the
Northern Central train was hidden by
the long covered bridge I concluded sho
would reach Iloclcvillo beforonvo got to
the west, bank of the liver.
"The bridge crossed the river diagonal
ly, and wo had not yet reached its mouth
when iny frame stiffened with horror
nd my eyeR fairly burned in their sock
ets. Right in front 1 could see the head
light of an engine flashing through the
bridge, and almost at the same instant I
caught a glimpse of a well filled passen
gr train coming over the crazy old
structure at full speed. I know instinct
ively that it would reach the crossing
but a moment before us, and that no
power on earth could avert a collision..
Absolutely paralyzed with fright, I can
still remember seeing Jimmy leaning
out of the cab and pulling the bell rope
as unconcernedly as though there were
no such thing ns danger. I closed my
eyes in horrible suspense. In an instant
the crash came. I felt the engine reel
and shake; I heard the grinding of the
timbers and the roar of escaping steam.
wmle on the air rose such a wail as
never before or since met iny cars,
'The next thing I knew was when I
felt some one shaking me and heard the
fireman shout: 'Shut her off, Johnny:
shut her off. Do yon want to get us
both hud off?' With au effort I brought
back ray senses and grasped tho lovers
in front of me. When I looked around
we were under the shed at Harrisburg.
L heard a passenger ask a brakeman:
Has the N. C. train come in?" and the
reply dazed me: 'Yes, sir, como in ten
minutes ugo.'
I resigned the next day, boys, and I
wouldn't run the risk of going through
that experience again for the whole
road." The old man's last words were
drowned in the roar of au incoming
train, and ere ho had finished first sec
tion of iso. 4 had come rumbling into
the station from tho west. Philadelphia

Hat'cliuThie In Fruits.
The discovery of that sulistance known
as saccharine has almost revolutionized
the business of canning fruits. This
new "sweetener,", which the French
government has already prohibited, ow
ing to what it calls a dangerous ele
ment which enters in its formation, does
entirely away witii the use of sugar. It
costs almost nothing.
A prominent member of a canning
firm in an eastern city, while oxpen
monting with saccharine, has discovered
that pineapples preerved in it would al
most entirely retain their natural taste.
Tins is in itself a great discovery, as al
most everybody knows the difference in
taste liotween canned pineapples and
I those which are Imported direct from the

LIONS IN HAMNES3.
The r.oiif Tralnluf Xaedod hy the Desert
King Ileror He'll Slavs.
The very spirited illustration of three
Hons driven nhreast by a man standing
erect in a Roman chariot Is familiar to
most residents in London. It portrays,
without the usual alisurd exaggeration
of mural art, an ontcrtaiument which is
given daily at the French exhibition at
Earl's court.
In the center of tho largo circular
space which has been used -during the
last few years for the display of the In
dians of the Wild West, the sports of the
Roman amphitheatre, etc.. is erected a
smaller circle, securely surrounded with
iron bars, having at tho back an inclosed
building containing dens. The "open
sesame" of my liost passed us into tho
private recesses of this prison house, in
whlcii I found four young lions, the old
est being about 8 years of age.
' These constituted the trained troupo,
and thore was also one younger scholar,
who had just been added to tho collec
tion. The education of this one Was just
commencing, and ho still retained the
feline characteristics to such an extent
that any approach to familiarity was met
by a snarl which displayed tho unshed
milk teeth ot the owner, looking as sharp
and needlelike as thone ot a puppy.
The training of theso young lions
rarely occupies less space of time than
twelve months, and is chiefly accom
plished by kindness. Mr. Darling, their
trainer, informod mo that he regarded
force as uot lieing desirable, as it excited
the animals to rebellion and was not
conducive to oliedience, whereas, trained
under the system adopted, eaeh.animnl
knows its name and answers to it. So
successful are tho methods employed by
Mr. Darling that ho has never been
bitten by the animals during the time
he has had thorn in hand.
In addition to the lions tho collection
includes two hugo Bavarian boarhounds,
which take a very prominent, part in the
performance.
After this introduction to tho perform
ers I took my seat with tho audience to
witness the exhibition. Mr. Darling and
his assistant entered tho arena with tho
lions and one of the dogs; the former, at
tho word of command, leaped up upon
liedostals nnd arranged themselves in
pyramidal groups. While in this posi
tion Mr. Darling placed the ends of two
Bfliirfs In the mouths of tho lions, form
ing festoons, over and under which one
of tho dgs leaped; two of tho lions then
stepjicd upon a plank forming a seesaw,
the dog leaping on to tho center and
swaying it from side to side.
One of the lions then mounted a tri
cycle, working the pedals moving the
front wheel with its fore feet, while tho
boarhound was pushing behind. The
chariot was then brought forward; one
lion entered readily betwecu tho shafts,
and two others took their places at either
side, one proving rather refractory; but
after sundry growls he subniltted to the
stronger will of the trainer, who mounted
tho chariot and drove the trio round the
circle.
The iierfonnance is very disiinct from
that bf lion tamers in gouoral, who rule
their chargus with rods of Iron and prod
them with points worse than the stings
of scorpions, utilizing tho fear and terror
of the animals at tho suporior power of
man. Mr. Darling, on the other hand,
is very familiar with tho members of
his troupe. Tho manner in which he
took hold of tho forelegs of one of the
largest and pulled him down from his
pedestal when ho was not snlTlciently
quick in descending was amusing.
The lions are of African descent, but,
like tho majority of the species now in
menageries, havo all been born in captiv-
ity, and familiarized with uinn from
their birth. Whether they will retain
their docility as they advance toward
their full size remains to be seen; but at
present they offer tho most complete
specimens of trained lions that it has ever
been- the writers fortune to witness.

U. H. Judges and Itnllwuf rropertlf
This effort to obtain a receivership,
which mesnti the temporary control of
tho whole railway, generally result In a
violent struggle between dlfforent inter
csts, etthor to secure or maintain the
management through the receivership.
The determination of whether a receiver
ship is to be had, and of the person or
persons to be such receivers, lies in the
aims of a singlo judge. This class of
cases givos to the circuit judges of the
United States, by transferring to them
the management and operation of vast
railway properties, a degree of response
rtlity nnd patronage never originally in
tended to be placed in their power.
Tho opportunities thus presented to a
court of justice for the exercise of pat
ronage, tho reward of friends, tho selec
tion of counsel for receivers, the p-
Iiointment of masters, and tho manipn
latiou and adjustment of large pecuniary
interests, are in themselves very much
to be deprecated. While no scandals of
any magnitude- havo as yet arisen from
this power of appoiutment and the pat
ronage and peonnlary expenditure inci-
oent- thereto, it is, after nil said and
done, a modern, and indeed a much more
formidable, form of judicial property
administration than that which corrupt
ed the court of chancery in England in
tho exorcise of its jurisdiction over the
estates of wards in chancery.
In the western and southwestern dis
tricts of ourTiircnit courts of the United
States properties larger in extent and
n pecuniary value than any that pawed
under the control of the English courts
of chancery between 1720 and 18i0 in
tho administration of the estates of
wards have thus passed under the con
trol of the Individual circuit jndges of

Hating- Unman Flesh.
The most repulsive food which human
beings could eat is man. Fortunately
cannibalism, although once very gen
eral, Is now mainly confined to the most
degraded tribes of tho South Sea Islands,
and to some districts of Australia and
central Africa, Lindsay, of Pitscottie,
relates that a man, his wife and family
wero burned to death on the east coast
of Scotland for eating children whom
they had stolen, nnd during the Frenoh
revolution the heart of the unfortunate
Princess Lainlielle was actually torn out
of her body by one of the yelling sav
ages near, token to a restaurant and
there cooked nnd eaten.
Human flesh Is said not to be unpala
table, and this is confirmed by the horri
ble narrative given by Lindsay. He men
tions that as one of the girls was being
taken to execution she exclaimed:
'Wherefore chide ye with me, ns if I
bad committed au unworthy act? Give mo
credence, nnd trow me, if ye had experi
ence of eating men and women's flesh ye
would nover forobaro it ngnin. The
Tanuesc of our own day distribute hu
man flesh in littlo bits to their friends as
delicious morsels, and say that the flesh
of a black man is preferable to that of a
white one, for tho latter tastes salt;
other cannibals hold the same, Scottish
