Attempted Train Wrecking.
Yesterday morning it was discovered
that an attempt had been made to ditch
A train on the Chicago & Northwestern at
the Indian creek bridge near Twelfth
street. The would-bo wreckers had re
moved ton bolts from the center of the
bridge , leaving about seven and a half
foot of track unsupported. Two trains
passed over the structure in this condi
tion , but fortunately with no worse result
than springing it considerably In the
middle. The parties were evidently
novices at the business , with but little
knowledge of bridge building , although
to remove the thrco-and-a-lmlf-mch burrs
from the bolts , which wore over four feet
long , they must have been supplied with
nn extraordinarily largo wrench. The
depression of the bridge was noticed
just atlcr the arrival of the morning
express about 0 a. m. , . and had the mur
derous wretches succeeded in their
dastardly attempt , the loss of many lives
would undoubtedly have had to be
charged to their account.

Among the Railroad * .
Rev. Thomas Mackay's address to the
railroad men at St. Paul's Episcopal
church Sunday evening was a very able
cfl'ort , and the largo congregation pres
ent wcro well repaid for their attend
ance.
The modern locomotive was regarded
by the speaker as the perfect embodiment
of the leviathan , described in Job 41.
The tendency of the present ago Is to
annihilate time , and wo arc , essentially ,
a fast people. Under only ono condition
can the average American take his time ; ,
on a dining cur goinc at the rate of tifty
milcH an hour.
When the inventor of the locomotive
claimed for it a speed of ton miles his
assertions were laughed at , yet live or six
times that speed is now regarded as
standard time. What are the posslbili-
ics of the future ? As we recline in the
.usurious sleeping car how often do we
think of the clear brain and steady hand
that is guiding the Iron horse as wo rush
Alone through the darkness HKO a meteor
through space ? Has ho only done what
ho is paid for doing ? Is he not entitled
to our heartfelt gratitude ? Had his vigi
lance relaxed. for a single moment
what might have been the result ?
The culvert washed out by the
swollen stream , the broken rail ,
the bridco destroyed by the unseen tire
are all dangers that must bo averted by
the constant watchfulness of the en
gineer. What are our feelings as , after
ho shrill scream of the whistle for
'down brakes , " the heavy tram conies
to n stop , we go forward and find the
trucks hanging over a deep gorge ?
Would wo not kiss those en my hands
whoso prompt action has prevented our
headlong rush to certain death ? Nor
arc such acts of bravery and heroism
confined to the engineer. What were
the feelings of thai switchman as he
threw the lever , that the loaded train
might not Inave the rails , rather than , in
obedience to the paternal promptings of
his heart , snatch his little one from
before the fast approaching train ? Was
the struggle between love and duty any
the less bitter because , in obedience to
his command to "lie down , " the train
passed over her in safety ? Hut it is not
that the world may see and applaud ,
that these acts arc done. These heroic
men climb the slippery cars , or make
the dangerons coupling in the midnight
darkness , and die with no one to see
them except their God. Give them the
praise that justly belongs to them. Of
tentimes pooHv paid and robbed oven of
their sleep , give them n pIVmsant
word as you meet them , and do what you
can to make their lives easier. To the
railroad men I would say , you need re
ligion. There is no class of men , unless
it is the soldiers , who need it more
than you do. Carrying your lives in
your luuuls as you do , not knowing at
what moment you may be called upon to
meet your God , it especially behooves
you to bo ready at any time. Religion
will also teach you faithfulness to duty ,
and without that you cnn never succeed.
The establishment in this city of a
boarding house and reading room for
railroad men was advocated , as the
saloons are the places most open for them
in their business hours.
A tenor solo was rendered by Mr. I. M.
Trainer , at the close of the address , with
pleasing effect.
Opening of tbo Hospital.
The Sisters of Mercy have rented the
largo building belonging to John Haw
thorn , at the corner of Fourth street and
Ninth avenue , and are now occupying
the same as a hospital. It is the purpose
of the Sisters , not only to care for the
sick , but to provide a home for virtuous
girls who , through no fault of their own ,
are thrown upon the world , and for
want of proper training and education
are unable to obtain situations. Such
girls will there be taught to broperly do
housework , or if physically incapacitated
for such employment , will receive in the
sewing room such instruction as will en
able them to comfortably maintain
themselves. The building is already par
tially furnished and more will be added
as needed. } Vlien in full running oidur
the sisters will be able to care for from
iifteon to twenty patients. The three
largo well lighted ward rooms will each
accommodate live cots , besides which
there are two private rooms. The build
ing will be known as St. Bernard's Hos
pital , being named for Rev. Father Me-
Menomv , to whose unceasing labors is
duo its location in this city. The need
of such an institution has long boon ap
parent and the sisters will doubtless
continue to receive the hearty
encouragement with which they have
mot thus far in the way of contributions.
Patients who are &blo will pay for their
caro. but none will be refused on account
of poverty. No discrimination will be
made on account of religion , and the
privileges granted by the Sisters will bo
very liberal. Their work is a noble one ,
and. all , especially those having sisters or
daughters , will appreciate the efforts thus
made to prevent young girls from falling
into the meshes of the not constantly set
for them by the human bloodhounds with
which every city is infested.
The largo number of railways center
ing hero make it nccccssary that there
shall bo n conveniently located and well
arranged hospital for the care of the vic
tims ot accidents of various kinds. This
city has long felt the need , and the hospi
tal enterprise will be welcomed , ami
gladly supported. The Sisters have al
ready a ( irmly established mutilation as
excellent nurses , and the public needs no
assurance that the hospital will bo so
wisely managed as to meet the varied
needs ,
Cli.intnuqua Assembly.
Council Kinds people In their past ex
perience have good reasons to bo sutitied
that encouragement at the proper time
would have produced results in our nity'a
interest and history not to be computed.
Wo cannot fold our hands and expect the
good things of this world will corao our
way of themselves , for those that are
worth the having cost money and oll'ort ,
and is it not a wlso principle of business
policy to invest a dollar that five may
come of it ?
Wo cannot always make our calcula
tion ) of immediate returns in public in
terests involving such a feature as the
Chuulauqua assembly , but it is unques
tionably ono of those tilings that com
mends itself to the intelligent judgment
of any unbiased mind that the welfare of
our city is closely Identified with its re
sults , not only in the near future but with
increased value as it becomes more
firmly established.
Chaulauqua , N. Y. , has become noted
wholly ou account of its assembly and as
a summer resort , one which the intelli
gent and cultivated seek lirat in all our
land. This same thing may bo ours if
wo only will to have it so. Lot every ono

works that they are in full sympathy :

File.Resolution
Resolution asking for $1,214 In war-
rantj in laver of Weightnvin & Miller for
building intersection sewerage upon the
estimate of the eity engineer , was re
ferred to finance committee with power
to act.
A resolution was passed ordering a 80-
Inch sewer built on Thirteenth street be
tween Fifth avenue and Union avenuo.
A resolution ordering Sixth , Seventh
and Eighth streets graded between Tenth
and Sixteenth avenues was read.
This caused a hurried consultation be
tween Danforth and Keller , and Keller
nskcd if that wasn't a good deal of grad
ing to order done. He thought much
grading should bo done but was afraid
the city could not pay for it. Alderman
Wells showed that there would bo only
throe intersections for the city to pay for.
Keller asked that it bo allowed to lay
over. Lacy thought now the accepted time.
Upon call of roll Danforth and Keller
voted nay , while Lacy , Metcalf and
Wells voted aye and in consequence the
resolution was lost.
The contract between G. S. Lawson
and the city for building the patrol
wagon house was agreed to and the
mayor authorized to sign the same.
The citv engineer asked the council to
advise him as to the proper method of
assessing for the Fourth 'street sower.
The city attorney said if the engineer
would report it the council wnulu refer
it to a committed. The engineer said
the report had been made
in detail and had been referred to the city
attorney , which the records showed. It
was then referred to the committee on
streets and alleys to which the city attor
ney will make his report.
City Attorney Holmes said that it was
the lirst time any rcllection had boon
made upon him by any of the city olli-
cors. He wished to make his report to
the council at once , that the assessment
for the Kourth street sewer should bo
assessed to the property on both sides of
the street.
The cause of all this discussion arose
from the fact that a sewer already ran
through the alley west of Fourth street ,
and in the building of the Fourth street
sewer the city engineer had left out the
house connections upon the west side of
the street for the reason that that side
already had connections with the sewer
in the alloy.
The city attorney said the legal part of
the assessment would probably bo ile-
cidcd in the courts. This is the same
subject that caused such a discussion be
tween Alderman Lacy and the city at
torney a week ago.

THE COST QFFINE PIANOS.
Ono CoHtne | $2,50O Good Enough
for Jay Gould.
Now York Sun : The ono subject which
liano dealers and piano manufactures
md workmen in piano factories have
been talking for the past few days is the
uano said to bo on its way to America
or Mr. Henry G. Marquand , with five
igures following the dollar mink In the
n voice thus : $40,1)50. ) No such price as
f 10,050 was over paid for a piano before ,
jut no prophet will venture to say that
no one will pay so much again.
"What do you think about such a
piano ? " said a reporter to an up-town
dealer.
' . 'Had you arrived at the aen of matur-
ty before the war of the rebellion
jegan"said the dealer , "and had you
jcen of a cynical disposition nt that
time , you would have been Interested ,
lot to say astounded , at the largo sums
) f money paid as income taxes by men
n this town. It gave ono notoriety to
lay n large income tax , and no ono was
lebarrcd from paying as good a tax as
10 chose. Perhaps n piano could bo
jullt with that sum. but it would have to
DO inlaid with gold and have the mono
gram set in diamonds before the bill
could honestlv call for half as much as
that. "
"What , then , do the elegant pianos of
the men of great wealth cost ? "
"Ordinarily from $1,500 to $2,000. Mrs.
Jay Gould bought ono recently that cost
f.3,500. It was nn upright grand and just
is fine an instrument in everything that
? OPS to make a piano as ever loft the fac-
: ory of ono of the best known makers in
the city. C. P. Huutlngton has recently
purchased a piano , His cost $2,000.while
Judge Hilton , another millionaire , pot
one not long ago for which ho paid : i
little more. $2,200.1 believe. Now these
instruments were the very best the work
men could produce. The builders knew ,
of course , that it would help them to
sell line pianos to other families if
such people as these had their
make of instruments. The choicest
woods , seasoned to the exact dot
were used in the cases ; extra quality of
cloth worth $18 a yardwhore the ordinary
stud' used is worth from $5 to $10 went
into the actions ; the ivory was selected
from perhaps a hundred dincront tusks ,
and so on from the castors under the legs
to the varnish on top , everything was the
best. The monograms wore worked out
in gold or antique metal , or some other
expensive stun , ' and when the instru
ments were sot up in the parlors of the
purchasers there was a richness to the
tones that would enchant any one. And
the tone was there to remain ;
such an instrument will last won
derfully. But , after all , you can get just
as good an instrumentone with precisely
the same tones and one that will lust just
as well , for less than half the money paid
by Mr. Gould.
"Still more expensive pianos can bo
made. They have been made that cost
aa high as i5,000. The late Captain James
B. Kails , the Mississippi jetty man , had
such an instrument. Ingcrsoll , the chair
manufacturer , had ono that cost $1,500.
and it was an honest price. To build
such a piano takes a great deal of time ;
fifteen months is not too much to devote
to the building of the case. The wood to
begin with may bo South American Aval-
nut , or San Domingo mahogany , or Tur
kish walnut , or genuine ebony. The ease
will be made of solid wood.
