Low-priced Can fvdlan offer to Liverpool and to millers in the united state led to a fresh de cline today In the wheat market here. The close was heavy, lVrHSc to 3c down, with December at Ms'ii'-Mc and May at 96Vr9fic. Other leading ataplea, too, all showed a net loss corn, SuWc to fVirttc; oata, HVio to tt5je, and pro. Vlslona, HiBac. . Wheat bulla were further depressed by the high freight rate demanded on ve eels from the United States for Europe and by an additional break In quotation for sterling exchange. Corn worked lower. In ympathy with iwheat. Oat followed the bearish lead of other cereala. Further sharp break In the value of hog made holders of provision dls- fiosed to unload. The market, however, acked support and the selling waa not resed. Confidence waa renewed In the ultimate kucceaa of the project, although exchange bn London fell back sharply. ' Aside from concern for the late corn t?rop, the promise of the soil yield was Lnclouded. Further rise In price of .cotton ex tended thla advantage to the south. Rall-l-oad showed uneaaineaa over next year's deliveries of steel and equipment and appeared a buyer. Surplus freight cara decreased and Improved earning were reported by several of the larger ay sterna. The steel Industry continue to Improve, trieneral trade report are of a more en couraging tenor.

Presently tb conductor cam along, and after suing ma up with a surly look, handed m my running orders. "Now. kid." he said, "don't let any graaa grow tinder thla train today." By which h meant that I was expected to make fast time between stations. I mad no reply, as I saw h was In an ugly mood, and we presently pulled out of th station to begin a trip that I shall err forget to my dying day. W had not passed many stations be fore I began to supet what th troubl had been between thla train crew and tlelr ng1n-drlvr. It was In tha days before freight cara war etrutpped with air brake, and aa our train waa mad up wholly of nonalr cars, th stopping of th train had to be don by th applica tion of th hand brakes. I soon found out that this crew waa not very expert av setting brakes by hand, and a a conse quence w ran past tb depot at several stations and had to back up, which la very disagreeable and takes up a good deal of Mm. I did not say anything to th orew In regard to their laxity of duty, but mad up my mind to get along with them aa best I oould for th short tun I should b wtth tham. Fwetasr I'akaaw Troablv. I guoeeedsd fairly well In th circum stances, and when wa reached tha last station next to th and of our run we wer about on time. I sat leaning out of the cab window, watching for a signal When the last bos had been unloaded th conductor shouted something at me which I did not hear plainly, at the earn Urn giving th "high ball." or signal to start W pulled out. and as I waa not very familiar with th road I asked my fireman about a long steep grade w had to dosornd befor reaching our destina tion. As w wer n earing th summit of thla grade he told m th train would run of Itself from a larg cut Just ahead of us, and a w passed through It I shut off steam and th train began to coast down th slop. As th descent waa not steep at first w went some distance befor w attained a vary high a peed, but presently our pace began to increase rapidly, and I asked th fireman where the train crw started to apply th brakes. They should b holding us now," hs replied. As we rounded a eurv I looked back. but could ae no on on top of th train. Evidently th crew wer all In th ca boose. This stat of affairs caused ma to become a little uneasy. I applied tha en gine brakes, hut they did not seem to check our speed to SJJy great extent I then whistled for brakes, for things wer getting in bad shape. W kept going faster and feater, and my anxiety waa Increased by th fact that down at th foot of th grade, wher wa ram out on th main Un. th switch would b agn.t a...r....w.i..".."' befor w oould proceaa. to mini matter worse, tha switch waa of th old tyl ".horb.r kind, for In thoo day. v had no modern splR-poInt switches, we which allow tha wheels to slip through between thera and still stay on th track. If w did not stop before w reached this switch, therefore, th train was sure to run off ths end of th rail onto th ground. This switch wa located at th end of a brldg about 100 feet long, which spanned a creek bed some fifty feet be low. Knowing this, I thought It wa about time w wer slowing down, In stead of gaining speed at every turn ot the wheels. One mor I whistled for brake. Just then w swung round a curve, and, look ing back, th sight I saw was anything but assuring. On tha top of th car next to th caboos wer th conductor and hi two brakemen lying flat down, holding " : , ' ' : . j .w . f a let tha train get beyond thalr control, and that It was now running awsy. By thi. time w had attained a terrible speed. na tlrrlagt Thoagbts. Knowing what was waiting to receive us at th foot of th grade, my feelings can be better Imagined than described. I looked out at tha ground; It was slipping away from under us In a blur. 1 looked back at th Jolting, swaying train of freight ears behind me. They seemed 11k pursuing demons bent upon our destruction. Presently I glanoed over at my fireman. I don't know how I ap peared to him, but I never want to ee such a look of horror upon any one's face again. Ha was a whit a chalk, and th expression on his fao was suggestive ot death Itself. Catching my eyes, he called to me, saying, W are dona fori" Ther wa only on thing left for m to do ravers my engine; but a th train had now gained such a terrible speed, reversing meant almoat certain dlaaater, for at such a paoe a cylinder head generally blow out or something about th valve gear give way. In either case the engine would fall to hold. It was, however, our only hope, so, lumping down from my seat I grabbed tha reverse lever and hooked It in the ex tram back notch, holding th latch down with all my might. Talk about bucking broncho, they are tarn a sheep compared to the antics of that engine! The driving wheels would spin backward, then slide, then turn strain, while th engine bumped as though It wer on tb ties, and X could not have told at that instant whether It wa on the rails er not. This nerve-racking Jolting and sliding continued for some distance I held my breath In an agony of suspense lest a cylinder head should give way or a steam chest burst but neither calamity happened, and I was could slacken the speed enough to per mit us to Jump with soma chance of not being killed outright I calculated that If w could reduce our speed to thirty miles an hour we might get off without serious Injury. But one thing was certain we should be compelled to Jump and take our chances, for I felt sure th engln would land st th bottom of that creek bed and the string of freight cars be piled on top of It. I was Just In the act of leaving tho cab and calling to my fireman to Jump when I hurriedly glanced In the direc tion of the switch, and ssw man run ning toward It as faat as he could go. It was the station master at the junc tion, trying to get the switch over for us But would he be In time? The brldg. was between him and th switch. Sup pose he were to make a misstep as h ran over, leaping from tie to tie? Wo wer now getting very close to the Jumping- ff place, but I decided to stay on, snd called to my fireman not to Jump. I looked ahead again, and saw that the statlonmaater waa now In the middle of th bridge, dashing across st headlong speed. W wer now la's than a hundred yardi from the switch, and coming at a break- j neck pac. The upenae waa terrible, it j was now too late to think of jumping, ; and I had almost given up hope, for we wer within about fllty feet of the ends of th rails, when I saw some one raise th switch lever, give a mighty pull, and the rails shot Into place for our track. As w dashed by th switch th engine gave such a lurch that I was thrown against th opposite aide of the cab, and by the time I regained my feet we wer running ; "" w. on me ievei. Th faithful engln wee still holding back. and wa began to slow down at once. The terrified train crew, regaining their feet, promptly applied the brakes, and we cam to a stop a short distance beyond th station, W then backed up to th depot, and there, en th station platform, I mad a speech to that conductor and his brakeman, tailing tham what I thought of them In very forceful lan guage, Thy war still so badly fright ened thai they mad no reply. My fireman, poor fellow, never fully recovered from that fright Hs waa naturally of a nervous temperament, and th strain waa mora than h could stand Finally h had to quit th service a mem tal wreck. He told me that th ride he took with me on engine No. 71 waa th beginning of hi breakdown. As for my self, I ran a locomotive for a number of year afterward and had avral rather x citing axperiene, but non of them compared with th Incident her d scribed, Wide World Magaslna.
