"During Mr. Hal net's entire Illness
he was in siuli a condition n. a man

was I suspicious that his illness was
due to any other case. He was uncom

paid no nttention to the sores of his
mouth and sprayed his throat."
Miss Hales denied that she had or
said to anv one that Harnet had been
poisoned befoie the poisoning with
which he wan affected just before his
final Illness.
IMPORTANT PART OP INTERVIEW
The most Important pait of the inter
view with the nurse Is that which re
lates to the Rending of the How era to
Darnet and the note which accompan
ied them. This Is supposed to bo the
note signed "Ulanche," about which
much has been wiltten and about
which there has been much speculation
as to the Identity of its sender. Cau
tnln McClusky now has this, noto in
hit. possession. He would not iiermit
It to be teen or tell whether It is now
in tho hands of the hundwritlng ex
pert. He would not admit that the note
was signed "Blanche," but when. In
discussing some point, one of his list
eners asked if the note referred to was
one signed Blanche, Captain McClusky
replied in the affirmative. Ho quickly
corrected himself, however
The captain said tnat he did not
think that the interview with Miss
Bales had nny effect in throwing light
upon the Adams case, and said that
he had not lequested Miss Bales to
make a At.iteinent. He said that Miss
Bales eould not recall the name of
tho man who had sent flowers to Bar
net at the club on two or thiee occas
ions. When asked as to the time when Mr.
Kinsley, the expert in handwriting,
might make his jeport upon tho speci
mens in his possession, Captain Mc
Clusky said that It might be in forty
eight hours. With relation to the pos
sible oxhumntion of the body of Bar
net, the captain said that that matt- r
was in the nands of the dlstiict attoi
ney and the coionor.
L. D. UFFORDS, OF SCRANTON
He Deceived Mr. Sherwood, of Pies
ton, Wayne County.
"A shoit time befoie the hollda.s a
man giving his name as L. D. 1'ftords,
of Scranton. engaged Jes-se, mui of
Judge Hherwood, of Preston, to pur
chase and ship to lilm fanners' pro
duce," says the Wayne Independent
"Uffords deposited money to Sher
Mood's ci edit in one of the Scranton
banks, which nc count was to be used
by him, (Sherwood), in the payment
of the bills due the Pieston tanners.
Mr. Sherwood gavo the f turners his
checks on tho Scianton banks and they
were honoicd to the -tuit oi $i:o, the
sum that had been deposited to Shoi
wood's credit
"Feeling nssiued that all was light,
Sherwood continued itp buy butter,
poultry, eggs and other things and
to ship the name to Uffords In Scran
ton. He pin chased to the vulu" of $350,
and after haing Issued to the farmers
about CO or more of his checks, dis
covered that they woro going to pio
tcst and that Uffords had skipped and
his whereabouts unknown. He had
mado a full thousand dollars or more
out of the transaction and the turther
success In his line icqulred a now
Held.
Though he was under no legal obli
gation lo do so, Judge Sherwood de
posited a sufflolent sum In the Scran
ton bank to meet the payment of all
of his eon's obligations. Of rouise his
son was in nowise to blame. He had act
ed in good faith, with both tlie fanners
and Uffouls, but the latter played the
part of the rat-cal and deceived him."

TRAINING OF
AN ENGINEER
PREPARING A MAN TO RUN A
LOCOMOTIVE.
It Is an Employmont Whoro Hnsto
Is Mado Slowly Ono Has to Havo
Extensive Experlonco at tho Throt
tle Boforo Ho Is Intrusted with
an Important Train Qualifications
Necessary to Make a Successful
Engineor Novor tho Samo Man
Aftor Ho Has Hnd an Accident.
So far as tho training of locomotive
cnglnceis Is concerned, railroad com
panies nre certainly very careful In
looking out for the safety of thcli pas
sengers, for It takes a longer time for
a man to perfect himself In this rota
tion than to prepare for any one of tho
professions.
For seveial years the boy, or young
man, learns how to "fire" a stationary
engine When ho Is competent nt this
work ho becomes a etntlonary engineer.
After thlp he must become a fireman
on a locomotive, working In this capac
ity for fiom three to eight years. Each
railroad company has its own rules In
this paitlcular; some rnllroads only re
quire three years' service as u fireman,
and otheis four, slv, or eight eight
years being the highest. During tills
long course of training, the young man
hnsi become practically familiar with
the mechanical construction of the lo
comotive. Ho can name tho different
pieces of machinery and desctlbe their
use. He Is considered competent to
run a locomotive, that is, some locomo
tives; but he hnb to wait for an open
ing. "It Is an employment," said an en
gineer, "where you certainly make
haste slowly. Your first engine Is noth
ing moio than what is called a 'hitter,'
which Is used In tho tialn ind to shift
mound cars from ono track to another.
You must do this kind of work for at
least a year. Then u get a position
on n freight tialn. or some slow passen
ger train. If ou are the right kind
of man you may in course of time be
come engineer of one of tho more Im
portant tialns or a through express
train.
QUALIFICATIONS NECESSARY.
"The qualification:) necessary to make
a successful engineer are something
more than mere mechanical knowledge.
Hundicds of engineers can run an ordinal-
tialn when the- tiack Is clear
and there are no spcelnl Instructions to
follow. But before a man can bo put
in charge of one of the 'llyeis' he must
pass a stilct examination not onl with
reference to the mechanical part of the
woik, but with the Idea of discovering
if ho has good Judgment, a strong,
nerve, a cool, clear head. Tlie com
panies will not employ a di Inking man.
The engineer must know what to do
In case of an accident or sudden emer
gency. His examiners suggest to him
all sorts of difficult situations, and nsk
him what he would do under the cir
cumstances. He must show them that
he Is a man capable of thinking quick
ly and acting promptly."
An engineer is never the samo man
after he has had an accident, even
though ho may escape unhurt. It Is
said that all lailioad men agree to this
theoiy. A certain engineer on one of
tho fast eastern trains, wjilch he had
mn for yenis without having an acci
dent, met with a disaster. He was1 not
hurt, but the terrible strain of those
few seconds lnoke him down, and he
would not touch an engine for n year
or two. When he forced himself to go
to work again he had nnothcr accident,
not a serious one, nnd this broke lilm
down so completely that he was never
able to run even a slow local tialn,
and eventually he had to quit tlie busi
ness. WHY HE REMAINED
One old engineer, in speaking about
a man's sticking to his engine In the
face of an Inevitable collision c-iuelly
destiovo an Illusion of the novel leader
and a man who believes everything he
sees In the newspapers. "It is sup
posed," says this englnfcr, "that the
man stavs bravclv In his cab because
of his devotion to his trust. This may
be the case sometimes; but self-preser
vation Is the first law of nature. Some,
though not the majority, of cnglnceis
contend that a man'n ( bailees of ecai -lng
Injury or death In a collision,
though small under any clrcumstuno- s,
are better in remaining in the 1.1N
than in Jumping Others adhere to th
belief that the chances ot escape aie
infinitely better In Jumping. Many a
man who has been wiltten a hero for
bravely 'sticking to his post and en
Oeavoilng to save the lives of hUi pas
sengers, unmindful of himself,' stuck
to his post solely because- when he hid
exhausted all of tlie lesources a. his
command to stop the train, he four.d
that he hadn't time to Jump, or that
he would be killed If ho did "
Engineers who have charge of the
fabt trains receive the most pay v.-nen
the pay depends on the number of
miles covered. Muny men, however,
do not seek such positions, on account
of the responsibility connectel with
the work, and the wear and tear on
tho nerves An engineer must have
had many ears of tmlnlng and have
wnlted a long time to secure sueh a
position wheie he will earn fiom $1,200
to $2,000 a year. His pay Is oometinv s
Inci eased by making extra runs, but
these oppoitunltles are offsi t by
chances nnd delays, so that h is rare

"When my Httlo boy was six years old
ho had an attack of the measles, and after
recovering he was rcstleta at night, had
no appetite, and was cross and fretful.
Later on, large blotches and sores broVo
out on his face and limbs. We were told
they would heal la a few days; but
theso few days grew into montliB. Ono
day my husband, who Is a well-known

Sometimes engineers arc paid by tho

ered a day's work, and sometimes they
are paid by tho mile; In cither cano
their earning are uhout the same.
On the slow local trains they run
from Tfi to 150 miles a day. Thcro
