The following interesting anccdoto
was recently printed in ono of our tech
nical journals , with a statement that it
was amusing , but probably untrue. As
tlio incident did actually cucur , and was
QUO of the most noted engineering feats
performed during the war of the robol-
llon , and 113 it was printed some years
ago us crtipol truth In the Btime journal ,
whoso editor has now apparently for
gotten it , the Htory is reproduced here
as illustrating the way in which obsta
cles were overcome thirty years ago.
The eiiiifodoruto army in 18U-1 wnsvory
much in need of a locomotive to run u
supply train in Virginia. Tlio money to
buy nn engine was not forthcoming , BO
the invariable alternative arosoof taking
ono. A band of 100 men was selected
from Loo's army and placed under the
command of a big Georgian , who had
been foreman of u Btono quarry , and was
moro or less skilled in the Ube of der
ricks ami methods of handling heavy
weights. IIo took his men up into
Maryland' and they tore up a section
of tlio l3aUimoro & Ohio railway
traok , flagged the next train , and with
nothing t-uvi > plenty of rope those 100
men hauled tlio locomotive over the
rooky rpad until they struck the confed
erate line , down which they ran into
, Virginia. When Hobort GaVrott , then
president of the Uultlmoro&Ohiolioard
of the feat he refused to believe it. He
\voutbutuiul personally inspected tho.
scone , went over the route , and declared
it a wonderful fent of engineering. After
the war he Ben't a mat ) to find the lender
of the company , uud at last discovered
him in Georgia. Gnrrott sent for him
and umdo him au important olllcor of the
road. In riding from St Louis to Wash
ington the conductor of the train will
point out the spot whore tlio locomotive
wus borrowed , und tlio railway company
haa jmblisbcd.u . little guide book giving
further details of the feat.

N \v YOMK , Aug. 28. , Thoroughbred 2-
ycur-olds will tomor'row contest for the
richest < prize of the year. The veilt Is the
Futurity stake , nnd though Its exact vnluo
cannot bo stated , It Is estimated the winner
will put nearly WO.UOO to the owner"credit. * .
The probabilities are that the money will
full to the Messrs , ICuono. The event will
undoubtedly attract a largo crowd to the
Shrapshcad llay track. Llttlo will bo seen
ofsi the race Itself , for It Is to bb run over the
straight course , und this sort oC racing will
novelnoLomo popular with the rank and lllo
oltl the followers of the sport. At the same
time iho weights nro so adjusted as to bring
thorn clnso together , nnd the strtiitglo
through the lust furlone will undoubtedly
1)1tl Interesting. Domino will undoubtedly bo
the favorite In the tomorrow's raco. If ho
should ! win and the chaucesseom moro than
favorable ho will probably bo retired for
the reins , dor of the season to prepare
his troublesome legs for next joar's ; cam-
paten.
Ho Is fortunate In having Senator Grady
out of iho way. This Is the only yo'ungster
that can beat the crack Domino If the latter
Is to bo beaten. Senator Grady , has beaten
ull others of his . ago und class. It is good
betting that Domino can beat the Duly crack ,
und therefore It seems us if the Futurity
were at the mercy of Domino. It is reported
that ho is not In the best of shape , but such
rumors invariably Iloat about before a great
race ; is to bo run. Lakeland will hardly
fiend Domino to the post unless ho Is
Jit. The Keones also hnvo Hyderabad us n
leftover ' ' und seem nblo to tnko the trick
with either.
The Hold will probably bo the largest Mr.
Rowe has over started und the race will bo

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Ups and Downs ot tlio 1'roprrty Kmbrnc-
Ine B , ' 0' Miles of Truck.
The Northern Pacific railroad , which has
at ' last pone Into the bauds of receivers , has
ix ' maln.lino of 2,1J7 ! miles and branches 875
miles In length , making the total mileage
owned SSXi , miles. It also leases or operates
half a score of other roads , making Iho total
mileage of its lines on July I last 5,203 miles.
Ttio Northern Pacific Hailroad company
was chartered by act of congress July 2,18154 ,
says the Philadelphia Telegraph. The road
opened ( -150 miles , to Bismarck ) wns fore
closed August 1" , 1875 , and reorganized Sep
tember 20-1875. The Chicago Northern
Pacific , with its largo terminals at Chicago ,
is subleased from the Wisconsin Central ,
and Interest on its bonds guaranteed. Chicago
cage & Northern Pacific stock for 815,010,000
( a majority Interest ) is owned by the North
ern Pacific. The Chicago & Caluiiiot Termi
nal railway has also hcen acquired , all its
stock being hold lu the interest of the Chicago
cage Terminal system , and its $0,000,000 of
bonds pledged ns collateral under the North
ern Paelllc trust deed of 181)3. )
The preferred stock of the company has a
preference for S per cent in each year if
earned , but is not cumulative. Thu common
stock then lakes 8 per cenl , and after thut
both shuro pro rata. The preferred stock's
cluliu on net income is subject to oxpondl-
tures for now equipment. Preiorred stock Is
received in payment for company's land
.cast of Missouri river ut pur , und the proceeds -
coeds of saiu land sold po to Us retirement.

That brilliant but "erratic , " though
always entertaining nonius , Oeorgo Francis
Train , held forlli at the Hoyd last evening ,
to the abundant , and vociferous delight of a
fair-sized nudlenee , which assembled to boar
that distinguished citizen of the world un
couple his volubility. IIo was announced to
speak ou lTlio Future of Omaha , the
World's ' Fnir and Cosmos , " iho poslers
guaranteeing red tiot psychles/gonoral / poli
ties and a general discussion of tlio tluauclui
sitmtion , and It is but fair to him to say
that ho cnino ns uoar covering his subjects
mid everything else us is often accomplished
before an audience.
Thu Citizen bad boon "riled" at the tlmo
of his arrival n few hours before to find no
brass band at thu depot to meet him ,
nud bo took occasion several times
during the uronlnp lo express Jils ills-
pleasure .nt the slight thus put upon
him , whether intentional or otherwise.
It wns noticed that Iho Citizen went further
iu his eccentricities than ou the occasion of
his last visit to Omaha , or It might have
been that ho has delved more deeply Into
psychics , for ho unloaded a lot of
statements tnat were simply paralyzors.
IIU Trlmnplml Knlry ,
IIo was rather late in getting to the opera
house , but ho was not long lu making his
presence known after ho got thero. IIo was
accompanied by Mayor Bcrnls , who trio'l to
get him in by way of llfo stage
entrance , but tlio citizen would have uono of
It. Ho Insisted on marching down tnrnugh
the audience , and as soon us ho appeared lu
the lobby ho was wcrmly welcomed , as his
attlro proclaimed liio Identity oven bjfore
his features could bo recognized.
IIo were a white jacket and immense
boutonniere , the former thrown wide
open and disclosing the polished sur
face of a carefully laundricd shirt , below
which dangled the massive charms that
always adorn the chain to which his watch
is anchored. A red loz was carried in Ills
hand , and a wiuo-colorcd sash encircled
his waist. The knowledge of the Im
possibility of such a thing was all
that convinced his old acquaintances that
his complexion was not ti shade or two
darker than when ho was last hero , while
the snow whlto hair und mustache were us
heavy us over , e.ieh separate capillary being
in business on its own account.
The audience was so scattered that the
citizen ut once sot about condensing it. IIo
acknowledged that the crowd was not
large , but said it was fair to presume tl'ut
ho had all the brains and money of the city
right there under his nose.
Mayor Uemis introduced the speaker of
the evening in a very complimentary , though
reminiscent , speech , saying that ho
believed the Citizen looked at him in
his eradlo the day ho was born , to which
Train assoutcd with u nod of the head uud u
vigorous "That's so. " Ho told of the
Citizen's valor In many n tiirht place und
how ho had advertised Omaha from
the tower of London to the pyramids of
Egypt. He took a whirl at the bankers und
other cliques that he claimed were ull the
time dragging Omaha down unless they hap
pened to bu'in on the ground floor of ovcry
enterprise , and was succeeding so well
that the Citizen felt constrained to remark ,
"Go on , 13emis , ivo them the whole lec
ture. " The mayor did not wait for the Citi
zen to got up und hit him xvith a club , but
immediately subsided , uud Train took tlio
floor ; -
Homo of tliu citizen's Aclilovomcnta.
The words of the mayor had awakened
recollections , however , that eould not at
once bo brushed away , and the Citizen told
how ho had taken the former from his
cradln in his infancy and scerotly im
parted to him tlio information that
ho was destined to bo thu mayor
of a great city in the geographical center of
the country , that xvas destined to become
eventually the capital ot the nation. He
complimented thu mayor on his speech , de
claring that there wasn't a man in congress
who could bent It off-hand and advising the
people of Omaha to stick by him.
He then entered upon a brief history of
his travels and achievements , telling how ho
and Bonus had encircled the world in oitrhty
days , two years before Jules Verne "was
guilty of the work of fiction in. which they
were both loft out. Ho Insisted that
the mayor was the most modest imin
on earth , nnd told how the hand
that now signs the city bonds was
twice brought Into active service to ward off
the blow aimed ut the Citizen's heart. Ho
organized the commune ut Marseilles , und
after placing a general at the head
of thu army , ho and Ueinis
toolc possession of the military head
quarters. Napoleon didn't weigh six ounces
to the pound , and ho was himself u man of
destiny. When the reaction came ho saw
20,000 bayonets pointed at his head. Ho
put down the rebellion on the other
aide of the water as the only American in
Europowho , was loyal to the north. General
Phil Sheridan never took that celebrated
lido ; on the contrary it was but a creation
of Buchanan Hood's feverish Imagination ,
while under the influence of champagne ut 2
o'clock in the morning.
George Washington was sent by his
mother to bS n midshipman in the navy of
George III , but ho had the smallppx ut
Jamaica and came homo so fearfully pitted
that several swarms of bees could
have been hived In his disfigured
countenance. His mother could not
atnnd that nnd took him homo , whence
ho wont ns a guldo for nraddock.
Train declared thnt the fearful sluugntcr
of Hraddock's tiolu was nil u myth , us not
an enemy was scon. The Pilgrims ho char
acterized ns. n lot of buccannoors ,
pirates , sneak thieves and cut throats
who eamo over hero to burn witches and
shoot the uborlglncs , touching the Indians
how to steal , am' ' never doing u noble net In
tholr lives. Ho finally got around to Nape
leon again , and told of vU-ttinir Josephine nt
Mnlmalson , where she received her visitors ,
"when that mlsornblo sncnic thief , Napoleon
Bonaparte , wiis listening ut thu keyhole und
opening her private loiters , "
The Citizen insisted thnt ho was the best
known man nnd the best unknown man In
the world , known by every ono yet unknown
ns ho Is by any ono , hearing nothing , yet
putting his car to" the gruuud and hoiuini ;
the pulao beats of a nation.
Homo Uliiiruoterlatlo Finance.
And then came the silver question , the
Citizen claiming that the present circulation
per capita jn only > , ns against fSO at the
beginning ot the war. Ho put a number
of circles on the blackboard to show the
growth of the country , setting forth the insignificance -
significance of the orlpirmt thirteen states ,
and asserting thnt whenever thu d d fools
In Now Vork took snuff the legislators in
Washington snoozed. Ho was for n
few minutes a radical illverlto , but n
short tlmo afterward wus pouring the
hot Julco into Nevada bocnuao her two son-
ntors tried to hnvo as much say so as those
from Now York , lie charged that both Sen
ators Jones and Stewart were playing into
the hands of the gold gang , and llnally said
ho knew thnt the Rothschilds hud sent
f'J.OOU.OOO to this country to buy
congress and iccuro the repeal of the
present silver law , und the action
of the house , as sot forth in the evening
papers , was proof enough of his statement ,
ho sprung a telegram calling him back to
Chicago immediately , as the fair was b'olnp
to destruction In his absence , ho professed a
desire to adjourn nt once and start , but
llnally secured the oooru house for tomorrow
ovonlng and promised to stay over. Then
ho wont at silver again , and from that tlmo
to the cloao ha kept the audience guessing ,
Ho said there had never been money
enough since the days of the green
back , and thut the most terrible revolution
wus coming that the world ever saw , There
was no democrntlo party , as It died with
James Huehaiiau , and Cleveland was a
junior partner of the republicans , dividing
the spoils. Ho know that the world was
dead broke and that England hadn't in-
vested n dollar here for 100 tyonrs. All the
nwo.it nnd libor and corn and beef nnd
nines had gone l swell the coffers of that
rotUn old monarchy across the water , "

wan toil a law passed staying the collection
of debts , and said If everybody woiild stniul
Bother ihoro would bo no tnoro hard

ipped ' up the bank * of New York M Iho rot-
