About six months after the wtcck In which ho received his injuries he began taking tegular night runs and ap peared to be as good an engineer as he e\er w as. One night It happened that he wa put on the same train that ho was on when hurt. It wan noticed that he was a little nervous , but no attention was paid to this The night turned out to be the eame kind of one as that on which ho had gotten hurt jnoro than eight months before. It was dark and dismal nrnl rainy. As the train reached the point wheio the accident occurred the Hi email noticed Dick slack up his engine , and at the game time ho began to get paler and paler , and as they rounded the curve where he had been ditched before LlUlcfleld uttered a ahrlck and fell over In a Mint. The strain had been too much for him. Ho waa taken to Richmond and was again taken off his engine , this time for good , of course , and was for a couple of joars later doing switch work In the yards. AD an engineer his first "call" had ruined him for llfo , and ho often icmarked to his fellow. engineers that no amount of money could hlro him to steer an engine around that curve again after dark , and he was known to be a man of great nerve , too. SAFE IN THE FIREBOX. Old Jerry Simpson , running on the South ern road , between Washington and Richmond mend , never becomes tired to telling how ho received his llrst "call" and the lucky way ho pulled through It. U wen back In the 70s , when work on the railroads all ovci the country was extremely flat and thou sands of men were out of work. "I had usen an engineer about three years , " said Jcrrtelling his story to your roiTcfpondent down at the round house on Virginia avenue , "and , of course , vtas one of the first men laid off. I was then work ing for the I'cnnsjlvanla road , running out of Philadelphia westward. I went around to the different roads asking for work , and through frequent \ lulls to the Baldwin works had become quite well acquainted with the foreman of the locomotive department. "Whenever a now engine Is shipped to a western rnad a reliable man Is sent on the new locomotive to protect It from tramps and other vandals. It happened that ono of these engines , ordeicd for the Denver and Rio Orando road , had Just teen completed , and tli ( i foreman put In a good word for me , es pecially as none of the Ilaldwln people banker after this Job. You can gamble on It , 1 Jmr.ped at the chance. "Two dajs after bolng offered the position thn new engine , and sbo was a beauty , was ehlfted Into the middle of the fast western ficlght , and wo began our western Journey " \Vo went over the Philadelphia and middle divisions all right , but It was on the I'ltts- burg division that my first "call" raino off. This dlvhlon takes In thu Allegheny moun tains and the tough places on It almcst equal those of the Rocky Mountains. "Tho engineer that handled the throttle on thu englno ahead was 'Hilly' Duncan , and I knew him well , both personally ami through reputation. Ho was a fearless runner and Viould never Jump from an engine , no mat ter how cloto a place lui got Into. Duncan Invited HIP to rldo with him In the engine , but I declined , OB I hud charge of that Rio Grande engine , and wanted to too her landed eafely at her destination. "So I went back to my charge just a mlnuto before wo pulled out of thu Altoona yards , and In a few minutes had made myself tomfortablo with a couple of blankets I had brought along The night was a' diurnal ono , being foggy , with Just enough rain to make It uncomfortable. I kepi awoke for about an hour and then concluded to take a little tnoiue. TUB DANQnn SCREAM. "About ( ho time I got comfortably fixed and was dozing with my eyes half shut I was tturllcd by a loud , long piercing call for brakca from the engineer , I knew 1)111 ) Dun can would never have let out such a blast ao that unUis In the presence of great dan ger. Quickly throwing off the blanket that co\ered me , I Jumped up and peered out through the darkness. Wo were going down the gi ado on the west side of Horseehoc Curve , and cutting the foggy mlat at tlip rale of about forty miles an hour , "About fifty jarda ahead of Dill's engine were the red lights of a oaboooe , and then J knew lh flagman had not come back far enough to atop us on the nut rails. A run- in was sure. There was not much chance for mo to Jump , ae It was Infernally dark , end I knew ibere was a high cliff clctjo to Ibe track on one side that would hurl me back under the wheels , and a precipice on the other ntccp enough to break every boon In my body If I one * hMrted to roll down Its rt cp nldc * . "About that time I thought of praying , and was on the point ot dropping to my Inees and pray to bs forfilven lor my past lns. when I lnckll > thought of the firebox of the new ci Klnc 1 had In charge , and as quick as thought I thiuw open the door and crawled In I had Jut landed on my knees on the grntc bars nhen there caino an awful cruh , RUtH as I had never heard In my life bcfoic. and I felt my engine going first up and then down , ami the sickening eenra * tloiis of the o few siconds were paraljrlng.

"After awhile cvcr > thlng wrcj still , nnd knowing that the wofst was ovei unless thn wreckage took file and roasted me nlUe , I made an effort to crawl out , but could not do so , as cai-irucks and frames were piled high above the wreck.

The wreekcri must have thought t was plnn.ed down by the engine , with my legs cruahcd , for they gave all their attention to mo , and after bird work got the trucks cleat cd away It was Koine tlmo befoie they got me out and be yond the lirnlro tlieady montloicd I was as sound as bctoto the wreck " 1'oor old Ullly , the tiiglntcr , kept up hh reputation to thu la t by refusing to Jump , and was sn.cshcd Into a Jelly under his en gine , AH was , alto Ms Hitman , ind two trampn riding In a box car next to my engine That was my dm Vail , ' and It was a close one , but the flrbosaved m > life , and I hate no\er liennl of another man pulling through a wreck In the rmo man ner. Mj second 'call' has not come > et and I'm not anxious for It. I can tell you " HKnULHSS OF WARNINGS All the old engineers on the Ilaltfmorc nnd Potomac branch of lYnnsjhanla sjntem still like to tell of the experience of Harry Frtebnrn with close call ? and how ho finally paid the penalty with his llfo In not heeding two warnings and drop ping out of the business Frcebuin was ono of those fellows who are said to fenr neither man nor de-vll He was llght-heartel stui d > and generous to a great degree Largo quantities of bulldog courage were grafted on to his hardy frame and the word frnr was a thing ho laughed at. He was an exceedingly fast running engineer , and whenever the occasion arose fo a frnt inn to be made , Harry Krceburn was generally selected to pilot the engine through A Globe-Democrat representative reccntl } came across an engineer doing duty between Philadelphia and Washington , and who was Tret burn's fireman for several years , and was with him when he received his last 'call. " This englneci related many stories ot Interest , the chief of which were the three thrilling experiences In which rrccburn and ' 10 plajed Important ptrt It might bt- mentioned Mat Fretbumcould discount the beat trooper In the land In the swearing hublt It entered so continually and pei- ilstontly Into his conversation that Prceburn raidlj knew when he was committing a breach and was forgiven bj his superiors for this one weakness on account of his ipllnblllty nnd gnieral good lutnre Preeburn's first "call" came in the bhape at a , close lia\e , as ho termed It nt the tlnif , nnd whilehe wca not hurt , ho told his fellow -engineers tint ho thought the jiilm rpfctcr was going to call upon him to follow Mi beck without even the cerummj of a first warning Picehurn was the engineer on a vny fast train that left Washington about noon. The train was not a vciy hcavj one. and foi this reason great speed could easllj bo attalnel About two miles south of the union depot In Ualtimorc. ho stiuck the double track and a llttlo further on a freight train going south on the opposite track hove in sight running at a good epetd When wUhln a hundred feet of the freight tiain Fitebuin aw a tai In the inlddb of the long line ot fseUlu i.-rs leave the tiack and bound o\er on to his track. It struck the lolls so bald that it bounded back and tinned partly over on the stuth track. Preehuin's train shot by the deralltd car an Instant afterward at the rate of forty miles an hour The place at which the ac cldent occurred was near a culvert and steep embankment some fiO feet high , and had he struck the cai a terrible wreck must have re sulted. JARRED HIS PEELINGS. In speaking of this experience Freeburn said , with Fcveral others : "You can't Imagine my feelings when I saw that tar Jump over on my track. I believe my heart stopped beating , and when it bounded bick and left my way cleai I came near fainting. No one on my train knew of the narrow escape we had had or I'll bet they would hive gone mo one better In the matter of feelings " Preeburn's stcond "call" was , a more EC- rlous ono to him and occmred about one jear after the above described Incident. As before , ho was the tnglneer of a train going north ! and had. reached a point on the road about 200 yards south of a llttlo telegraph station called Wlnans , where the Ilaltirnore & Ohio load crcc.seB overhead. Incessant rains had loosened the earth beneath the rails at this point , and as Freeburn'i engine shot on to the soggy earth , down they went like n flash The sudden stop of the engine precipitated about two tone of coal and the baggage and mall cars on top of Freeburn and his fireman , and their changes of being cither buint-d or smothered to death were most ap palling. Prompt and energetic work on the part of the trainmen and passengers , whose cara had become detached and remained upon the rails , enabled them to pull the luckless men from the dcbils before the flames had reached them. In two months' tlmo Preeburn was back on his engine again and as good as rvci In describing his experience ho said he was too surprised to think when he found hid onglno sinking beneath him. and before he could say "Jaok Robinson" his wind and senses were knocked out of him by the coal and broken cara that tame tumbling down on toi of him. After this last "call" Frceburn's wlfo and friends tried to purbiiido him to give up en gineering , or at least accept a Job on a ynrd engine , but ho said "na > . " "If I can't ryn first-class I'll not run at all , and It Is too Into now for mo to think of earning a livelihood at anything else , " he said as n final rejoinder. Frccburn's final "tall" came Mnich 4 , 1SSO Tllo poor fellow , like all his compan ion engineer * , bad been working Ilko a horse for a week previous to Garfleld's Inaugura tion , hauling thousands of people to the na tional capital to wltnesB that ceremony. On that fatal day , to him and otheru , h ? was coming south with an empty engine , and , according to his orders , should have taken the Hiding , at a small telegraph station mid way between Washington and Daltlmorc to allow a north-bound passenger train to pass Freeburn ncedtd sleep badly , nodded for an ! > the fi action of a minute , but In that short tlmo sped by his siding , and , with a terrific crash , dashed Into the north-bound train , lloth tntln and empty engine were running at n high rate of upecd , and the break-up was a horrible Bight to bthold , Doth engines rcaicd up like two horses on their hind feet and thtn Bottled dawn amid a cloud of dust , Hinoko and hissing fcteani Many were Injured , and poor Preeburn was the last person found and taken from thu wreckHo was jammed up agalnat the smokestack , horilbl ) crn&hed and scalded.

A KrtifnoUy I'.illlnr ( lorn StinotlitR nuil firlx Ii > iirloiuMl | In n I'm P. During the recent poaton for game Mr. Louis Landrim , editor of the Central Record , the country paper published at Lancaster , whllp hunting quail on nurdctt' * Knol-a , had an adventure which , In point of thrillIng - Ing Interest rnd horrid detail , Is probably without a parallel In the experience of any nportuman In that section He went out to the hills on this occasion at an carl } hour , relates the Philadelphia Times , nnd hod succeeded In bagging a number of birds when the fpcrt was Riidd nly terminated by a heavy rain. Accompanied by his dog , ho walked up a deep gulch In ccarch of shelter He had proceeded only a chart distance when ho noticed at the foot of the cliff on on hl < right a wide vertical rent or crevasse pai Hilly hidden by vlntfl and shrubbery. Approaching nnd entering this , he was Brently surprised on discovering It to be the outlet of a crvern. The entrance -was windIng - Ing and narrow , and on either side were steep and craggy walls1. The roof nsccndcfl at .1 sherp angle Into obncurlty. Some thlity feet from the entrance , lying obliquely on n hUh , piojtctlng ledge , there was n mornler block of granite , oblong In general outline nnd weighing hundreds of tons , Its huge crest uprcared Into the cave'a gloomy dome. Landram r < gardcd this pondroug rock In wondT. It had undoubtedly been dislodged from ahoNC by a seismic shock , and had It fallen Into the corridor Instead of on thi ledge It would have choked It up completely. More than half of Ita weight seemed now xuapomUil o\er the passage A slight shocker or the pressure of a finder would npparcntl } hnvu caused It to plunge Into the chasm. U was. Indeed , one of those death-traps of na ture , grim and sinister , sometimes seen In wubtcrrancan chambers or updn prcclplcto. I3cond It there were evidences of n large chamber. Tha excitement found In penetrating the unexplored something which ch\n\s e\crtn a fpsclratlnc Influence upon daring spirits allured the hunter. He advanced boldly to ward the Interior , but wren two fiery eye- hplls were suddenly turned upon him from a dark roiiii'r he came to nn Immediate halt At the same instant his dog , which had fol lowed nt his hce'a ' , uttered n dismal howl and made a speedy exit from the cavern Lin Ara MI threw up his gun nnd discharged both barrels slmullnnccusly , but ho never knew what the animal was , or what became of It for the Infernal din that bellowed through the cavein was Insta-itlj followed by an awful crash , dense volumes of dust and Buddin darkness , and he was thrown violent ! } forward on hS face and almost burltd beneath msoses of falling sand. Per a moment he was considerably stuuied. but ho soon extricated himself and scrambled to his feet. Then a cold horror fell upon him , for b.3 saw that the great rock , shaken from Its moorings by the explosion , had plunged Into the passage behind him. Its towering and tolossal form , together with great quantities of earth and fragments of stone , wia wedged tightly In the corridor , constituting a mighty barrier that arose black and frightful between himself and llbcrt } . lie saw no way of ctcapo. No ray of light pierced the gloom. Moreover , a vast ami } of bats , disturbed by the detonation and shifting sand , began to nwariu thickly In thn passage. Thceo creatures began to alight en hia person. They evvept forward In Hocks , ns If to escape , until that , quarter of the cave was all\o with them Confuted and enl } pirtlally aroused troii the torpor of hlb rnatlan , hundicds diopp-nl from the rocks and fell upon the floor , or fluttered up and down the passages. The air was noisy with swishing wings The } -jwatmed on Landiam's back and shoulders They dashed against h's face or clung tena ciously to his hair and beard. This multi tude of busy winp.i stirred and whirled about In suffocating billows the dry , penetrating Juat. Threatened with suffocation , he In- "rcascrt the activity of his movements , tearIng - Ing off the squeaking creatures and tramp ling them underfoot. That a man could preserve his presence of .Hind In u situation of thlu sort Is wonder ful , but that Landram did so is shown by a ) lan which occurred to him , and which he Immediately proceeded to execute. Freed from hh tormentors for a moment , he dpffrd j's hunting coat and poured over it a quan tity of whisky from his flask. He ignited It with a match , and crj the flames leaped fiercely up he began to whirl It , a circle of roaring flime and smoke , above his head The effect was magical The ( lame nnd pun gent fumes wcro Intolerable , and every bat that could use Its wings began a precipitate flight to oth3r quarters In that spectral light the hunter must have looked for the moment something Inhuman , demoniacal The cavern rang- with his shouts. Rushing from side to side of the cave , he whirled the blazing torch hither and thither , until the hoi rid host had been driven back into the lecosses of the cavern. The exertion fatigued him , his face streamed with sweat , yet he Immediately be gan to consider the possibilities of escape from his unfortunate predicament. If any a\euup of escape over the lofty summit of the boulder still existed , which was doubtful , it would have been madness to try to reach It In the reigning darkness , either by at tempting to scale the barrier Itself or by clambering up the steep and Jagged wally of the cavern. It remained to bo seen , therefore , whether or not there was any vulnerable point about the fallen ma 6. By the light of an uncer tain blare that still played over a remnant of his burning- coat , he picked up his gun and plunged the barrels Into the earth and band at one side of the giant rock. The debris jielded little by little to his attack. With the energy of a man entombed alive and despciMc with desire for liberty he dug with all his might. Hope again kindled In his bosom , and at the expiration of some thing over sevcn hours he succeeded In mak ing an opening around the barrier largo enough to admit his body. Through this hole he squeezed himself. In his hand he held the battered and twisted barrels of a gun , and just as the moon rose behind the tlmbci of the opposite cliff ho passed out haggard and exhausted Into the chilly night. ' To assist In working buttonholes In gar ments a simple Invention has an oblong ring pressed over the cloth after the but tonhole la cut , to servo as a guide for the needle. Per use In exterminating bedbugs and other vermin a small lamp Is fitted with a water compartment In the top , with a nozzle , to direct the steam In any desired direction and scald the pests. A handy attachment for use on umbrellas has a rod Inside the handle extending up to I ho upper catch to release the braces by pressing the lower end of the rod when It Is desired to lower Uio umbrella. A newly designed spring bed for sick per son i has a number of sections In the frame and can bo raised at the end to bring the pcrbon Into a Homl-recllnlug position at meal tlmo or whenever It is desired to change position. To prevent a person from slipping while climbing a ladder a new device consists ot a pair of metal plates , strapped to thu soles of his shoes , with un arched portion on the underuldc to fit over the rungs of the ladder. A now automatic car switch , which seema to do awny with many of the objection : ! to those on tile market , consists ot a turntable - table holding the switch plate operated by an electric current from the car by a lover lying In a position 1o connect with a metal plato In the street close to the rail A new detachable bicycle tire locks on the wheel ilm by means of two wires running around the rim over the edges of the tire , the ends of the wire being attached to small toothed pieces of metal which inrnh In a whffl under the valve and are tightened by turning the valve stem with a. wrench. To do away with the epreadlng of rails by the splkrij bending over n newly designed tie-plate has ihe under section fitted with wcdtc-shapcd teeth , which are driven In'o the tie when the plate l spiked down , the upper side ot the plate Having flangra to hold the rail and the head of the splUc projecting on the rail as usual , A new nhoe lace , which ! much stronger than those now In use , U formed of a center cord of strong threads surrounded by a cross- wo\en outer covering , the ends of both the Inner and outer sections being attached to the metal tips , the string wearing longer because the outer section Is wovou acrosi Instead of lengthwise , A new fishing rod , which can be wound up without the necessity of turning a crank , tun a toothed wheel on the reel shaft Into which meahcs a curved toothed rod , lylnf parallel with the pole , the pressure ot the hand on the bow forcing It asaluit the pole and putnlne the end backward , thus turning the reel to wind the line. , OMAHA uOTflCIl MARKET Wcok Diodes wit ilfut Few Oftttlo aad Many Hogs on falo.
