OYER THE WIRES.
I had been traveling all the afternoon,
and it was with a feeling of disgust that I
alighted at the little station of D , where
I must wait live hours for the train to take
me to the city. There was no one in the
station but thestation master, and as misery
loves company we were soon on friendly
terms.
As the evening wore on I occupied my
self in examining the railway maps and in
finishing a novel which I purchased that
afternoon on the train. At about 11 o'clock
I heard the dull and laborious putf of a
freight engine approaching in the distance.
Louder and louder the noise became, until
suddenly with a glare from the headlight
the great locomotive thundered by the lit
tle window, and in a moment the heavy
train rolled away in the direction from
which 1 had come a few hours before.
Silence again fell upon U9. We continued
our talk, interspersed now and then with
moments of quietness, broken only by the
frequent clicking of the telegraph instru
ment on the table under the window. At
last I finished my novel and once more sat
idly tossing about my watch charm. The
station master was sitting opposite me, with
his feet on the edge of the telegraph table,
while he carelessly ran over the columns of
a newspaper. I was on the point of making
some remark, when suddenly there came a
sharp clicking of the instrument. My com
panion sprang to the table and answered the
call. Instantly I saw that something un
usual had happened. As the little brass
key clicked off the message I saw the sta
tion master's face grow white, then livid.
Ho rose quickly from the chair, placed his
hands over his eyes and almost shouted:
44 My Godl What have I done?"
I sprang to his side, asking him what
was the trouble. He rudely pushed me
away, and with a look which I shall never
forget fairly yelled: "Don't speak to me!
Don't speak to me!" Then he sank into the
chair with his hands convulsively grasping
the arms. But it was only for a moment.
Quickly gathering himself, he drew up tc
the table, and then followed some of the
most exciting moments that I have ever ex
perienced.
Wondering what it all meant, yet realiz
ing that something must have occurred in
which he was an important actor, I closely
fixed my eyes upon him. No sound save
the spasmodic ticking of the machine and
the heavy breathing of its operator was
audible. He sat bolt upright in his chair,
liis left hand on the arm, his right busy
with the key. His eyes were riveted ou
the table before him. For a minute he was
busy with his message, and then silence.
And what a silencel Not a muscle moved;
not a sound could he heard. Even the
agent's breathing had stopped. He watched
his machine with the gaze of a lynx. 1
stood behind him, my heart throbbing with
anxiety and fear.
At last after a silence which seemed ages
the machine began to click. I watched him
while the message came forth from the
wires. It was evidently a satisfactory reply,
for he did not appear more agitated. Then
the machine stopped. He rose from his
chair and came toward me. It needed no
words to tell mo that he had suffered dur
ing those five minutes. Great drops of
sweat rolled down his cheeks. His hands
shook through anxiety. Placing them both
on my shoulders, he addressed me thus in a
hurried and impassioned voice:
44 1 don't wonder that you're surprised.
Heaven knows that I was awfully friglit
ened—hut listen. I got orders this after
noon to stop the freight train which just
went by here on our turnout. I was to de
tain it until the Boston express should ar
rive and then allow it to go on, hut some
how or other I forgot the order, as you
know, and didn't think übout it till a few
minutes ago.
"Soon after it went I heard from B , |
two stations above here, saying (hat the ex- j
press had just left there for this station. 1
You see it doesn't stop at A , the one
between here and B . That message re
minded me of my mistake, and now the ex
press and freight had both been running
toward the same station. If the express
had arrived there first and left before the
freight got there, or they had not received I
my message, then—then"
He paused in his rapid talk and said in
an awful voice: "Then there'd have been a
collision, and I'd he to blame, hut God
knows that I didn't mean to forget to obey
that order!" said he impulsively. "There
was only one thing to he done—telegraph
to A , telling them to hold over the
train that had arrived there first. That 1
did. For five minutes, as you saw, I wait
ed in mortal agony for the answer to that
message. It curae just now. Said that
neither train had arrived, and that they'd
hold over tho one that got thero first. So,
thank God! I was not too late and that
everything is all right."
He sank into a chair and folded his arms
on his breast. Hardly had he done this
when the ticker began again. He read the
message, and then, as the clicking stopped,
lie bowed his head on his hands and sobbed
aloud. The message was: "Have stopped
express here. Will hold over as directed."
The Boston train reached D hulf an
hour late by reason of the stop over at A .
Bidding my friend good night, who was
now completely calmed down, I hoarded
the sleeper and soon went rolling toward
life and civilization.
Two weeks later I came across a country
paper from the vicinity in which my ad
venture with the ticket agent took place,
and I noticed this article:
"Much to the surprise of his friends, Mr.
John Huss, the popular and trusted station 1
master of D , last week resigned his po
sition and has now, wo learn, removed to
New York. We wish him much success in
liis new quarters."—Herman Bahsou in
Amherst Literary Monthly.
Where Colonels Congregate.
Many of our older hotels gain renown
through association with particular classes
of men who frequent them. In this way
the National has come to Vie known as a typ
ical ancient southern hotel, noted for the
number of its guests who possess titles,
military or civil. 44 1 was conversing with a
military friend recently in the lobby of the
National," said Senator Dubois, "when he
left me, moving but a few paces away to
converse with a mutual acquaintance. The
lobby was well filled at the time. Desiring
to speak with my friend, I called to him,
4 Oh, I say, colonel!' and do you know 17
men stepped up."—Kate Field's Washing
ton.
Both Sides Alike.
"Darling," said the young man as he
tenderly raised the lovely head from tho
place where it had rested an hour or
more, got up, sat down again on the other
Bide of tho beautiful maiden, and once
more drew the golden curls to his bosom,
"you have no objection to this slight
change of position, have you?"
"No, Alfred," she murmured softly;
"your heart is on this side,"
44 Yes, my angel," responded the young
man, his voice trembling with deep feel
ing, "and my vest will now be soiled alike
po both sides "—London Tit-Bits.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C., Mar. 24, 1803.
President Cleveland has done no more
popular tiling since he assumed his high
oilice than when he "jumped on," to
use a bit of expressive slang, the head of
tlie slimy serpent, nepotism, which begun
to wriggle around entirely too promis
cuously. He lirst took occasion to in
form a distinguished southern senator
who had appointed his son to he clerk of
the senate committee of which he was
lately made chairman, that in conse
quence of that appointment, indicating a
desire to look out for his personal and
family intersts first of all, his reccom
mendations had been much weakened.
Next, ho took a western congressman's
breath away, when as a clinch argument
in favor of the appointment to an office
of one of his constituents lie said: "And
lie is a relative of yours, Mr. Presi
dent," by saying: "That settles it. No
relative of mine shall he appointed to
office by me." lie then gave that con
gressman a short but comprehensive
lesson on the evils of nepotism, which it
is safe to say lie will never forget if he
lives a century. It is safe to say that
the head of the aforesaid slimy serpent
will not he reared in any of the execu
tive departments of the government for
four years to come, all of which is a de
cided gain for the country.
The executive departments are being
put upon a Democratic basis as rapidly
as possible, and Republican chiefs of bu
reaus and divivisions are being succeed
ed by Democrats as fast as the heads of
the departments can select the new offi
cials. Democratic economy is also being
put into practical operation. Following
Secretary .Morton's order dismissing all
all of the superfluous employes of the
department of agriculture, came an or
der from Secretary Carlisle to the divi
sion chiefs of the treasury department,
ordering the immediate dismissal of
every employe not absolutely essential
to keep up the department. The Demo
cratic administration was voted into
power to reduce the extravagant expen
ditures of the government, and every
member of it is fully determined that
the wishes of the voters shall be carried
out to the letter.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Maxwell, the gentleman who will wield
the axe made famous by Vice President
Stevenson, is on deck and already hard
at work. There are several thousand
resignations of fourth-class postmasters
on hand, and these will he disposed of
before lie begins the work of removing
Republican postmasters.
Speaking of postmasters, P. M. G. Bis
sell stated to a delegation of Missouri
congressmen that the policy of the de
partment concerning appointments had
been misrepresented by a certain class
of newspapers. In the first place, it had
been stated by these newspapers that
the recommendation of congressmen
would count for nothing- As a refuta
tion of that statement the fact was point
ed out that not a single postmaster had
yet been appointed who did not have
the endorsement of his congressman.
While not disposed to ignore the con
gressmen, Mr. Bissell said that question
| of who should he postmaster should, in
a measure at least, be decided by the
people of the locality, who were more
directly interested than anyone else,
and that the wishes of the people when
expressed, would certainly be consider
ed in making the appointments. No
body is to be ignored; what the depart
ment wants is the co-operation of both
the people and the congressmen in the
selection of such postmasters as will in
crease the efficiency of the postal service.
Mr. Bissell also denounces as false the
statements that women and editors are
to he discriminated against in the selec
tion of postmasters. S.
