"Some very peculiar things transpire
on board railroad trains , " remarked
"Colonel , T. H. Hackott , of the news de
partment in the depot in this city. "I
remember several years ago when I was
news agent on the road I had many pe
culiar experiences with the traveling
public. Ono day , as wo wore being
wheeled along on the Wyoming division
of the Union Pacific , a very laughable
transaction took place. In the rear of a
Birioicor was n Chinaman , named Wing
Lee , who was on his was to his native
homo , lie had spent some time in
this country , and was returning
with the proceeds of his industry.
A short distnnco from Cheyenne two
cowboys boarded the train , and took up
quarters in the smoker. They wore
equipped in full cowboy regalia , with a
brace of Colts' revolvers strapped to
their hips. I was in the smoker , and
when the guests of the plains entered ,
I observed that Wing Lee became sud
denly restless , ilo soon became irra
tional , and , in-a short time , was busily
engaged In scattering his money all
over the car and throwing it out of the
window. The conductor happened to
enter the car , and seeing what was
going on , brought the train to a stop.
The Chinaman did not realize the
situation , but , on the ether hand.
jumped through the car window , and
made off like a coyote. Wo persuaded
him to stop , and induced him to get on
board the train again , hut he was
nfruld the cowboys wore train robbers ,
mid , rather than bo robbed of his cash ,
ho throw it away. Ho had about Sl.COO ,
mid wo found about $400 of it on the
floor and in the seats of the car. The
vest ho had fired out of the window.
Wo gave him back what ho picked up ,
nnd ho chattered like a magpie , paying
'
the Molleun man a considerable amount
of attention. ' '

In railway circles , men are often promoted
meted for bravery or olllcioncy , over
. others , who , in the ordinary fight of
every day affairs should be recognized ,
Headmaster Drown of the Union Paqifio
, nt this place was elevated on the ladder
in this way. In the fall of 1S85 , ho was
n section foreman on the Wyoming di
vision. Going along his section one
afternoon , ho discovered that a rail was
torn up and was loft BO that , when
Btruck by a train , a serious wreck
would follow. Urown dispatched one
of his men up the track to signal a nas-
Bcngor train that was then almost ciuo.
He knew that the rail had been fixed
_ for the purpose of helping out in a train
"robbery , as this .was not an uncommon
occurrence in those days , Ho also
knew that in replacing the rail his life
was in peril , However , ho restoroil
it to its proper place , and
eplkod it down. The passenger
train was about twenty-live minutes late
and the inspection had been repaired
and everything cleared up when the
train came thundering along , tiafoly
pu&ainff over what otherwise would have
U&ou the econo of horror , being aware
9t the timely discovery. Hrown , after
opairing the break , got on board his I
land car and escaped without coming
in contact with the robbor. But the
robber was there in the person of "Big
tfose George , " who is known only by
this alias , and who was once the terror
of Wyoming. Brown did not know
that George was there , but the latter
afterward stated that ho ivas secreted
behind a pile of rock awaiting the approach
preach of the train. Ho had fixed up
Lho rail BO that the engineer would not
have discovered it , to ditch the train ,
when ho intended to rob the express
car during the excitement. He was
waiting for the train when Brown
and his men came along ,
and according to his own words ,
had his rifle twice leveled on Brown ,
intending to kill him , but he thought if
Brown was "foolish" enough to repair
the track when ho icnow under what
circumstances the break had been
ho caused , was not worth killing.
Big Noao George was captured at Car
bon , Wyo. , about throe months after
ward , and was hung. Up to the time of
his death the facts of the rail removed
were undeveloped ; but as ho stood with
a noose around his neck he confessed
the entire details as above , and asked
that Brown bo informed of his narrow
escape. For this act of bravery Brown
was promoted to the roadmastorship ,
and his face is familiar at the present
time on the streets of Omaha.

The road to success in railroad circles
is hard nt best to follow. Vice Presi
dent Holcomb , of the Union Pacific ,
was once a freight brakeman nnd did
some hard work turning thocranks. Ho
worked in this capacity on nearly every
western road , and it is said takes pride
in relating his experience as a "shack. "
Tom Potter followed the same appren
ticeship and made quite u record in
turning brakes on the Northwestern.
Ed Dickinson , now assistant general
manager of the Union Pacific , com
menced railroading at the ago of cloven
years aa messenger boy for the Cleveland -
land ft Toledo railroad at Cleveland.
At the ago of fourteen , and during hid
career as n messenger , ho learned tele
graphy and took a position as operator
on the Atlantic & Great Western. At
the ago or seventeen ho was made train
dispatcher on the same road. In 1870 ho
came to Omaha as clerk and operator
in the freight olllce , but returned to
Cleveland shortly afterward us assistant
train dispatcher of the Cleveland &
Toledo. His wrist giving out , ho was
compelled to cease operating and wont
on the road as baggage and express
messenger. In 1877 ho was appointed
superintendent of the Laramlo division
of the Union Pacific , and made his way
up to the position of general superin
tendent , by Vice President Potter , and
recently to the position of assistant
general manager by Vice President
Holcomb.

The absence of a finger , thumb or
foot Indicates the vocation of a man in
such condition to bo that of a railroader.
But , as a rule , and ono with but few exceptions -
coptions , the man with a missing mem
ber is rarely found holding official posi
tions. The reason is self-explanatory.
In the first place nino-tontliH of the
railway employes thut meet with acci
dents of this kind , do so by their own
carelessness , and through negligence.
When maimed in this way the indi
vidual , whom ho may bo , foela as though
ho is entitled to gome good position
with the company. But the manage
ment never looks at It In that way. A
practical railway ollloiul will meet the
request for n position of robponsibility
from an injured person by informing
the Individual that he could not well
take euro of himself , as his injuries
demonstrated , and that he would bo a
poor man to put in a position , the duty
of which would bo to care for others.
This may seem ouoor , but whore is the
man with a missing or maimed member
bhat occupies any prominent position in
the railway world ? _ _

Ono morring lately two Berlin doctors of

ST. PETEIISBUKO , May 10. [ Special
Correspondence of TIIK BEE. ] Little
in contemporary Russia is more curious
than a comparison between the differ
ent ways in which the feasts of Easter
is celebrated in Petersburg and in Mos
cow. In Petersburg the celebration is
purely official , in Moscow it is entirely
popular. In Petersburg it is the sinis
ter roar of the cannon in the fortress of
Saint Paul and Saint Peter , whore so
many political convicts languish , that
gives a signal of a feast ; in Moscow it
is the voice of the historic great Krom-
in boll , which walces the echoes of the
400 belfries of the town of churches. In
Petersburg the imperial family cele
brates a least in the private chapol. A
few representative people uro admitted
to this service , whoso privilcco it is to
exchange kisses with the czar. The
czarina , by the way , has refused over
since her accession to the tlirono , to
submit to a general embracing which
is customary on this occasion , and only
a few of the highest dignitaries are al
lowed to kiss her hand , an innovation ,
by the way , which is far from pleasing
to the Russian people. In Moscow , on
the other hand , universal p'aternity is
the order of the day. Strangers meet
ing in the streets exchange the glad
tidings ,
"CIIUIST is HISKN. "
"Yes , indeed , Ho ,1s risen , " and kiss
each ether like fojiong friends. It is
the day of good.vorts and largo chari
ties. Many an Easter day in Moscow
releases " to libor y' iio birds in their
cages. , ! . |
It is the custom in Russia Tor the
variousgovornqrspf provincosand mili
tary chiefs to address otters of congratu
lation to the czar iuiid royal family at
Eustor. Amongst Uioho received this
year at Gatsclunuo-.was the following
telegram from' "FMiico Doundoukoff
KorsakoIT , tbo' pinluandor-in-chiof of
the Don Cossacks ; ' $ 'At the request of
the troops of th'e Caucasus , as well as
at that of the cpuhjlfy entrusted to my
care , I have thejh'a.u.piness to lay at the
foot of your imperial majesty the con
gratulations of a faithful subject on the
occasion of the Ka&tor fcbtival , and at
the saino time beg to. hope for your
majesty , UH well as for her majesty , the
czarina , and all your majostfo family
health , happiness and longevity. " The
c/.ur's to log ru in in answer to .this effusion -
sion was characteristic and is being
'
much talked of in 'St. Petersburg. It
consisted of the two words :
"THANKS , AI.HXANDKU. "
It may be noticed that this year the
number of letters of congratulation
which reached Gatsoluna was a ridicu
lously sinull one , a circumstance which
may account for the bad humor mani
fested by the czar in his nnswor to the
note of ICiisnkoff. The nobility , the
clergy , and even the trades abstained
this year from congratulating the auto
crat ; only the poor , oppressed peasantry
was faithful. If the czar would only
show a little consideration to his people
ple , ho might bo the most popular sov
ereign in Europe.
Numerous subscriptions continue to
bo given by private individuals pro
fessedly as thanks offerings for the czar's
escape from his railway uccidontto
various funds which are not at all in
favor at Gatschina , as , for instance , the
fund for the endowment of schools for
women. These monies ore usually paid
in as "In remembrance of the happy
escape at Borki. " The czar has iust
issued an ukase commanding that such
subscriptions must be worded as "In
remembrance of the miraculous es
cape , " and orders their confiscation in
case the word "miraculous" be omitted.
It is understood in St.Petersburg that
what is making Prince Bismarck so
very anxious to effect an alliance be
tween Germany and England is the
right-about-faco which has recently
taken place in the Balkan principali
ties in favor of Russia. In Sorvia. since
the abdication of Milan , public sympa
thy in favor of Russia is being loudly
manifested. Roumania , having changed
her cabinet , appears to have changed
her politics also , and professes the
warmest friendship for Russia. The
use of the Gorman language at court
has boon forbidden by the king , and
this is but one of many signs of which
way the wind is blowing in Bucharest.
At a banquet given last week in that
capital the olllcors drank several toasts
complimentary to Russia , and it was
oven proposed to petition that power to
dismantle , as useless , the fortresses
which protect the Russo-Roumanian
frontier. In Bosnia and Her/.ogovinia
the greatest hatred for Austria is man
ifested , and a war which would
J'UIKE THEM F.KOM THE QKltMAK YORK ,
at any cobt , would bo warmly wel
comed.
In spite of the efforts of the Russian
government to stop the spread of re
ligious dissent amongst its orthodox
subjects , the movement develops day by
day. The papers , in obedience to com
mand , suppress the facts , but in .spite of
this the truth comes to light. The last
report of Mr. Poliedonost/off to the
czar mentions facts which show how
profoundly unhappy and disgusted the
people are with the present Btnto of gov
ernment. It must ho noticed that the
aot of renouncing the orthodox church
on the part of a Russian implies a re
fusal to continue allegiance to the czar ,
and is ono of legal rebellion. Since the
famous emancipation the peasants have
Bunk into a state of misery impossible
to describe. It is an established fact
that since that date the taxes which are
imposed on the peasants have increased
llvo fold. The various dissenting creeds
assort , amoncr ether fights , that of an
absolute freedom from taxation , and the
Russian peasant considers it money in
his pocket , or at 'least a hope of Bufil-
clontdaily bread in the future , to pro
fess ono o'r the other of them. So far ,
however , the action of the dissenters
has been a passive one. They nro now
beginning to ant on the offensive. Last
week the Sehtundlsts broke into an
ecclesiastical school near Korson , and
after Hinging the images of the saints
down to the ground , drove the scholars
out , rrvincr :
"They shall teach you no more lies. "
Near Karkow. at the same time , the
Methodists forcibly entered the ortho
dox church , seized crosses , orlfiammes ,
banners and holy images , and organ
ized a burlesque procession , at the on"
of which they

Pohodomostzoff demands that the
most repressive measures should be
taken-at OIHXJ. This is the only remedy
ho can suggest. Meanwhile the Roman
Catholic church is making numerous
converts each week in the eastern
provinces , and in Crimea Mahometan
fanaticism is manifesting itself. Only a
a few days ace a whole Christian family
was murdered by a band of Mahometans
because the son had married a Tartar
girl , who had , in consequence , adopted
the creed of the Orthodox church. The
procurator of holy synod has his work
cut out for him.
The misery of the peasants is so great
that the various acts of cruelty commit
ted in the agricultural districts on the
persons of horse-thieves can be under
stood , and in a certain measure con
doned. In many cases to rob a peasant
of his only horse is to ruin him com
pletely ; to give him his death blow. A
terrible scone took place at the begin
ning of this week in the village of Uor-
novo in the south of Russia. A farmer
in this village , recognizing in the per
sons of Sazino , a retired soldier , and of
DavidofF , a young : peasant , the two rob
bers of throe of his horses , had them ar
rested by the mayor. The peasants , in
furiated against the prisoners by reason
of having suffered similar depredations ,
broke into the jailbrought the prisoners
out and beat them to make them confess
all the thefts they had committed. In a
short time both prisoners wore left
dead. The farmer , Drutcroill , could
not oven then lot them bo.
"I am sure , " ho said , "that this old
follow is shamming. "
With this ho thrust a pointed stick
intoSazine's eyes , and drovo'it in t > ov-
oral inches. Dructroill has boon ar
rested , but is not likely to receive a
heavy punishment.
A Jew dealer in bric-a-brac , of the
name of Krowchikosi , resident in War
saw , won the big prize of 200.000 roubles
in the drawing of the Interior Loan ,
which took place on the 3d of this
month. On the morning of the 4th
Krowchikosi was discovered hanging by
the neck in his curiosity shop. He had
been very happy as a poor man , but the
SHOOK OF SUDDENLY 1IKCUH1NQ JtlCH
had been too much for him.
The teachers in the municipal schools
in Mosiiow had proposed to hold a general -
oral meeting last Saturday to discuss
various questions of Interest to the cor
poration. At the last moment an order
ciuno from St. Petersburg forbidding
the mooting to be held. The Russian
government cannot tolerate discussion
with a view to common action in any
shape or form.
The German colonists in New Russia
are returning homo to the fatherland

A pnas.mt , aged seventy-five , hanged
himself on Tuesday in a village near
Somphoropol. His motive was that ,
being unable to earn his living , ho did
not want to bo a burden to anybody.
Isolated , this occurrence would bo with
out importance. Unfortunately , in
many recent cases , suicide has been
traced to the same motive.
In the town of Saratolf-on-Volga there
is living a man who ia 101 years of ago.
His name is Sanie. M. Sanis is a French
man , and came to Russia in 1810 with
Napoleon's ill-fated army. Ho is
in excellent health and spirits ,
and enjoys talking of the
war , which took place seventy-seven
years ago , and of how "General
February" checkmated the "Little Cor
poral. " It may bo noticed that upward
of twenty thousand men of Napoleon's
army remained of their free will In
Russia after the war , and it is to them
that Russia owes the origin of many In
diibtrlea which were formerly unknona-
in that country.
A scandal took place on Wednesday
last in the church of Sohekiscli , In the
town of Kowno. on the occasion of the
exposition of the body of Colonel Law-
dnnscki. On the body had boon laid a
ribbon with the inscription in Russia ,
"May God keep him in His holy guard.1'
The priest , for some reason , best known
to himself , insisted on having this
ribbon removed. The unhappy widow
expostulated , aud the priest shouted
out , "Oh , if 1 am not master here I had
bettor bo off. " With those words ho
flung off his clothes and rushed out of
the church , leaving the funeral party
to finish the service as best they clioso.
The widow followed him homo and im
plored him to return , in vain. At last
a priest was found who undertook to
finish the service.
