I don't know why she did It, for I never
tive her any encouragement no "cues,
as the actors say.
She bussed around about the weather
and such burning topics for a little while,
and then she hit solidly.
"That's an awful thing about Mr, H.,

bridge on tMattes st:et. being con
structed by the Delaware, Lackawanna

work Is going on without Interfering
with running the trains, nor will the
least delay, unless something unfor
seen happens, lie caused henceforth un
til the new bridge thall be securely put
In place. Many are not aware of the
way the work Is being done. The Im
provement will make the street wider
and the bridge will be higher above the
roadway, but that does not signify
rnerely that the grade of the railroad
tracks will be raised.
The street has already been widened
several feet and the bridge that will
replace the old structure l ready to be
swung In plac at any time. The new
bridge wilt have Its stringers above the
tracks Instead of underneath as it now
Is. The bridge can be transferred to
Its position In an hour, f.y the end
of the month the work will all be com
pleted, making LMttes street a thor
oughfare of some consequence.

It Is said that most of the brakemen
and switch tenders on the 'Maine rail
roads wear congress shoes. The fact
is brought out In connection with the
death of a brakeman in North Ber
wick a few days ago whose foot got
caught In a frog, and he, being unable
to extricate it, was run down by a
train and mortally wounded. It was
found that he wore a lace shoe. His
fellow-workmen testified that had he
worn a congress shoe, according to the
usual custom, he would doubtless have
been able to promptly take his foot out
of It when caught In the frog, and
might have escaped unhurt.
"There Is an old veteran," said Hon.
T. V. Powderly, yesterday, pointing to
the bob-tall switch engine "City Bank,"
which was standing near the Hyde
Park crossliiig. "Twenty-five years
ago I made the first repairs on that en
gine that were ever made on her. She
was built in Paterson, and in being
brought to this city broke down Just
as she was entering the yard. She was
brought to the shops and I had Charge
of repairing her." In further conversa
tion along the same line Mr, Powderly
said a machinist of those days would
not kpow how to approach a modern
locomotive wlih the purpose of over
hauling It. "They are not the same
machine at all," said 'Mr. Powderly.
Wlille traveling in Minnesota during
his Incumbency in the office of general
master workman -of the Knights of
Labor, Mc. Powderly was aboard a
train which became stalled on account
of a broken-down engine, and to the
surprise of those on board he donned an
overalls and jacket, and with the as
sistance of the engineer and fireman
succeeded In repairing the break, which
It was thought would totally disable
the engine and cause the train to lay
over In- the woods until a nw engine
could be secured from the nearest sta
tion. (Mr. Powderly Is fond of refer
ring to the days when he handled a
hammer and wrench In the shops In
this city and many an amusing rem
iniscence he has to tell of those times.
