clatter of long knlvce. Out of Innate "cussed-
ness" an Italian , shoveling snow , will hold
the right of way until your pilot almost
touches him and you put your engine over
Blldo her whecla , muss her Jacket and make
un enemy of your fireman , then ho will
fitcp aside. If you happen to hit him or
spoon him up on the point of a pilot plow , the
whole mob will bo upon you. Ucforo they
got the rotary snow machine , when the road
wan new , they used to keep the track clear
With a pilot plow that was Just as wide as a
coach. By and by , when the road got bigger ,
they bought nome now sleepers that wcro
wider and longer than the old ones , and they
gouged Into tlie walls in the snow cuts and
stuck fast.
To avoid this the company built a now
plow , that was wider still than the new
sleepers. Now , the "Dagoes" as they were
called , used to cut out little pockets In the
sno\v , hldo In them and yell Into the ears
of the engineers who wcro falling down the
hill , blinded by the ( lying snow , and uii'i. . . '
tt > stop short of a mile. So when High lie rj
Ufdonburg came sailing down the hill one
afternoon , beneath a mackerel sky , the Ital-
laro waited until ho was close upon them ,
and then put themselves In the niches In
the wall. One of the gang , a short , fat fel-

tent door and "damn the Dagos. "

One-day llttlo Sam MoMurtrlo , the engineer
In charge of the work , was shaking out ft
dress suit to wear at the Elks' ball In Gun-
niton , It was A new suit that had come up
from Denver and Bam tried It on ,
"Sam , " said Terronce.
"What. Tcrranco ? " said Sam.
"Aro ycz ft friend of mine ? "
"I am that. "
"Thin BUV me that ccot. "
"Will you wear it ? " ,
"I'll wear ut. "
"After the ball ? "
"After th1 ball. " said Terrance , and ho
nodded his head as a resolute man > does
when he has in rule up his mind that a thing
Is a thing.
It was almost a month after the fight that
Tcrranco got up one 'Monday ' morning and
declared his Intension to go to work. When
he had drcsied up to his vest , he took down
the swallowtail coat that Sam QtcMurtrlo
had given him , wrecking a $75 dress suit
to do It , and put It on. He then took a pair
of pistols , put one in cither hip pocket , and
backed up to McMuitMo's mirror , as a woman
does dressing for church. Ho twisted his
shoulders , threw , up his arms , leaned for
ward ami hack , but never for a moment did
the tall of the coat "came between the guns
and daylight. "That's good , " said Tcrrance ,
and ho it rolled up the track to iwhero Hio
Italians were waiting for time. At flrst the
men marveled at the extravagance of his
attire , but iwhen Terrance "paused " , turned
and stood looking back down the road as
though ho were Inspecting the work , -with
the ready handles of his six-shcotcrs sticking
up througli the under half-craps of his coat ,
the men wcro awed.
There had been orders from the general
ofllco that no man should carry arms upon
the works , and now the Italians Eald they
would nut work under Terrance , so environed.
Antolne said they would fight flrst. Tcr
ranco threatened and swore , but thcjsno\v
brigade refused to budge. After a lot of talk
It was agreed Umt the men be searched , and
If they were all unarmed , then Terranco
would lay away his shooting Irons.
Sam McMurtric , the engineer , stood at one
rail , George I-cIpp , the contractor , at the
other , and Tcrranco herded the men , between.
McMurtrlo looked up one side of the man
and Lclpp looked down -the other , and In a
little while they had three or four old
pistols of unknown cks'gn and any number of
abnormally largo pocket-knives. The last
man to pass between the Inspectors was
Antolne. From ono of his big bcots they
brought a sprlns claspknlfe , a razor from

pulled the ivhlille , and then made a dive
for hs ! hole , Hla big boot being balled with
snow , -slipped and he was not able to get In
to clear , and the plow being extra wide ,
gathered him up and put Mm over the tele-
grnph poles and clown the mountain in about
fifteen fc'et of snow , and ho went to the hot- .
torn. The rest stood back In their niches ,
the Hflde plow planed off the walls , Jammed
the surplus snow In on top of the Itillans ,
arcl left the face of two walls smooth and
white. It was with difficult } that some of the
men fought out , and helped the others , who
wcro wedged In tight and fast. "Dama zo

lor Tcrranco Murphy , the walking boss , was
laugh n g In his hand.
TROUBLE BI3GINS.
"Where Is Anton ? " demanded one of the
Italians , and Tcrranco pointed \\lth his
thumb toward the bottom of the gulch.
A ) half hour later they brought the darin <
Itall'n out as good os new , but they refuwd
to work another lick that day. Terrance
threatened , but It was of no use , the men
went swearing to their huts That night
being Saturday , they got very drunk and
came to the water tank to ( lag the snow
plow , which they knew would bo coming
up the hill ahoul of 22. They were armed
with clubs and etorcs that could be seen ,
and knives and revolvers that could not he
s'an. Terrance Murphy saw them gathering
about the tank whereVI would atop for
water , and gutfsed the cauea of It. With
the help of his cook he put a push car.
with a bindsplko fotot over one wheel for
a brake , on the track , and slid down the
mountain to the nearest telegraph olllcc.
Ho flagged High Henry and told him what
was on hla mind. Henry was for stopping
and fighting the thing out with the agenfe
rlflo and a 45 that he carried In the box , for
ho bid a heap of sand. Also ho had order *
to rua to the top of the hill "regnrdlrpi. ' , "
ncd ho never had an order that ho failed to

ho came near the tank where the Italians

he opened the cylinder cocks , so that the
etcanu coming out on the cold air , blinded
> the highwaymen. He also opened the over
flow from the Injector , on his olde , and the
fireman took the hot water hose with which
ho wet the coal , and then they ran for the
snow brigade.
Bel'K cockoure the englno would stop ,
some of the men stood on the track bejond
the tank and got off l-irely In time to cave
their lives. The stream of hot water hot
enough to scare , but not to scald lilt thu

thumped them with lumps 9 ! coal , and scat

That was the end of the flrst trouble at

P .
I' " When spring came the company began to
cut oft the corners and fill in the curves , Ii.
order to straighten the track , for at that
tlino there were not three straight rails to
gether on the hill.
It was good to have something for Tcv-
mnco and hli braves to do In summer , fo
as to have them when the enow came again ;
ro now they went to work to btralghten the
track. Things went fairly smooth until
Kelly came down with his Jerries , who had
nothing to do nbovo , but you can't mix Ire
land and Italy.
Ono of Kelly's men and this came Antolne
who fooled with the inawplaw got mixed up
one day , and the Irishman hit the Italian ,
properly enough , s an Irishman should hit ,
with his (1st ( ; whereupon Antolno pulled a
carving knife from his thigh boot and began
carving the Jerry. Then all Iho Jerries Joined
lu and there was a fight. Klght Irishmen and
thirty Italians , ono of the latter with a long
knife , culd put up u Jolly row in short orde- .
They fought with ulcks. rocks , crowbars ,
clubs- and rrades. Nobody cculd tell bow the
fight would end , for the Irish fight well with
clubs , but Terrance , hearing the rumpus ,
came out of his tent with two guns , fired a
few menacing shots over the heads of the
rowdies and ended the row.
About the tlmo the walking boss began to
breathe way. Antolne. watching Ills chance ,

Time had cast a frost that , whllo It silvered
ho hair , touched -not the heart of those who
met around the festal board to talk of the
d ventures of the days of old.
The band known as Mosby nang-
ors , relates the Philadelphia Times ,
vas In. fact the
Forty-third Virginia bat-
allen , a regularly organized troop , In which
ho officers were commissioned and under
ho pprhonal supervision of < Mosby , who was
: ubordlmitc to General Lee , Just as were
he other ofllcers of the confederate army.
'hcse rangers , however , were gathered for
a species of warfare , which being exorcised
n an Independent way , was the means of
mrasslng the enemy and of keeping the
arge armies of the union constantly on the
alert. As a line is only ns strong ns its
\eakcst point It sometimes to k several
housand federal troops to guard ei reader
or communications , when they were In truth
menaced by only a few hundred. . The
rangers , who were composed of the > oung
non of the state , received no compensation
rom the confederate government for their
ieTvlces , other than the spoils of war tnkcn
> y their own efforts from the enemy. Many
of the soldiers were but boys , some scarcely
out of school , but the flower of the south
could be found In their ranks , while for
larlng and absolute fearlessness -they had
no equal.
That part of Virginia which Is Included In
Pauqulcr and Fairfax counties bsotme
cnown ns Mosby's Confederacy , and in t
shoit time wae , practically , under the con
trol of his men. Ceaseless were the
skirmishes whichtookr place- the thrilling
idventurea and hair-breadth escapes they
encountered , but nose perhaps are as re-
narkable aa the affair 'n which they went
joldly Into the center of a union camp and
took out from It' ' , midst a slumbering gen
eral , essaping with their prey under the
very frown of the guas In the federal forts.
CAPTURED. .AOWIOX OEXEHAL.
Tiis ! adventure occurred In March , 18C3.
just after the battle of CluiucellorsVIllo , and
ibout the time that Lee tad begun to mar
shal his forces" tar an intended Invasion of
thenorth. . Ilrlgacijcr General Stoughton and
a large force were encamped at the little
vl'Iage ' of Fairfax , which Is the covnty seat
of the v'clnlty ' , and cumbers a. few hundred
Inhabitants , ( the men of the force were
quartered , about the p'oce , while the , general
had hks headquarters , ' "with his staff , at the
brick house which it , now used as the rectory
for the Episcopal clergyman of the town
This lesldence Jij a large one , standing in the
midst of a lot of gojsdlsize , just about
100 jards from the ma"'n road , and the front
room In the second story .was occupied bj
the comtr . .inillnggeneral. .
The nlglitselected by the > rangers was a
cold , drizzling one. and they eet out on their
journey from "their btartlng point , whlch ,
was several miles outside the rnemv's llnoa
about the town at" near"mlfiilght. . The
lines of the federals extended. In every dl-
.rectlon about " the country , some of the
union forces "ibejDg.8t CentrevJlle , a tiny
Camlet six miles from Fairfax. In order
to escape the-plckets the rangers made a
detour , and striking off from the main read
.on which they were traveling managed to
approach the town In euch a way that the
federals could but suppose the troop was
.part of their own force. The road was any
thing but a pleasant one to ride , for the
mud was as deep as only Virginia mud can
, bo , but the imen plodded on , mjifllejl up In
their cloaks , tlirtliey saw In , the misty dls-
.tance a few lights faintly gleaming through
I'.he trees.
AMONG TUB ENEMY.
The soldiers belonging to Stoughton' ! ) force
wcro hotindly sleeping , artillery , cavalry and
Infantry being quartered nbodt'Iu the
citizens' houses. Tie general was In the
center of-the town , tind'had retired late , hav
ing extensively celebrated at a. supper at
which there was a liberal supply of cham
pagne. Mosby , with twenty men , rode slowly
Into the town about two hours before dawn ,
and trotting up to the court hous'e""greeii tne
little "party divided , some golpg Joget sup
plies that were procurable , as well as the
horses of the cremy , while Mosby and two
or three of his men rode down to the head
quarters of the generali
Nc sound was to be heard In the foggy
darkness but the slight splash of tbo horses
In the muddy road , and eyen. jiad any of the
enemy been awake they would never have
dreamed for a moment that the guerrillas ,
as they were called , were calmly riding
about In the midst of their camp , having
eluded by ttrategem tno pickets posted along
the lino. Meshy1 and L-Is men ro3e up to the
general's house and dismounted , the leader
boldly knocking at the door. The house was
threaded In darkness and silence , but pres
ently a head was poked out of an upper win
dow mid a sleepy voice Inquired whs. was
wanted. Mosby replied that he was a bearer
of dispatcher for General Stoughton. The
head disappeared , ( ben came a gleam of light
mid on olllcer In uniform came down the
narrow stairs and opened the door. In a
moment ho found himself ii prisoner , and was
told In a low voice to conduct the men to the
general's room.
A SURPRISED PARTY.
The half awake and startled ofllccr was too
much surprised resist , especially as there
was a long barrel glittering Jutt before his
o > es , so lift went upstairs , accompanied by
Mcsby and Jils companions. The party
walked ! ute the room In which Stoughton My
calmly slumcrlng amid billows of blankets ,
and Mosby , walking up and shaking him.
told him to get up. Hearing the mine of
Mosy faintly In i.ls dreams , Stoughton
sleepily inquired if ' 'Have you got Mosby ? "
supposing It was one of his own fccoutlng
parties ccmo to report tins capture of tbo
ranger leader , but ho was scared Into life
when , with a rough shako and a slap , the
confederate informed him th.H "Mosby has
got you. "
"There Is no use in resisting , " remarked
Moiby. coolly. "It means , sir , , thAt. > 'QU. are
ray prisoner , for 'Stuart's ra\alr'y IB In pos
session of the place. " Knowing It fruitless
to struggle against such a force , Stoughton
arose and dressed hurriedly , guarded all the
while by the confederates , who also secured
the rest of tbo staff ofllcers In the house.
Placing the general between two of IIn ) men ,
Mcsby returned to the green , where he mot
tlio rest of his men , who had been .on a
foraging expedition about the town. On tak
ing an account of what had been gathered in
it was found that , besides Ilrlgadler General
Stoughton. they had secured two captains ,
thirty othtr prisoners , together with their
arms , ammunition and fifty-eight horses ,
The return trip was tafely made , though
tbo party , whoso prisoners wcro stronger in
number titan their captors , were fearful that
some outcry might bo made ( hat would , awake
those of the fee who were ilumbering. As
Boon as they were out of earshot of the toun
they set out at a brisk pace and abiut dann
passed within 200 yards of the federal fort
at Centervllle. The grm | mouths of the
cannon could be seen looming up In the dim
light and one prisoner , a Captain Darker of
New York , hero made a break for liberty ,
but was brought back by a timely shot. Pass
ing beyond the reach oftho fortifications ,
Mosby's men struck out at a rapid pace for
their own lines and were soon safe from
any fear of Interference , 'delivering up their
prisoners to the confederate authorities.
RAIDING A PAY TRAIN.
Another exciting and very remunerative
adventure of the rangers was when they
captured a federal pay train , from which
they secured a large amount , of greenbacks.

ono of tlie scouts , came anil Informed Mosby
that there WHH a fine opening in the valley
on the line of tiio Ilaltlmore & Ohio railroad ,
so a party was ( secured nnd they eet out
across the mountains for Duflleid Htatlon , at
which place the pay train was to pass , reachIng -
Ing the tipot jiixt before it was due , Obstruc
tions wore placed upon the track , BO that
when the express cjmo dashing down It
came to an abrupt stop.
A guard was plucal over the engine and
the rangers entered 'the ' cars. On board were
t\\o union paymasters , having In charge the
money for the troops , the amount reaching
$170,000 , which was necured by West
Aldrldgo , ono of Mosby's men. Aliiridgo
promptly reported his luck to Moshy , and
when the full ium "was collected It wan
equally divided out among the men , Mosby
refusing to accept any ! share. The passengers
were relieved ofthelr funds , which went as
Individual spoils. Then tbo cars were set
on fire , and the band vent back with twenty
prisoners and fifteen horses , besides the
motley and the tuo paymasters , the latter
being eent on to prison. One of the pay
masters was a brother to General Huggles ,
now In the War departmant.
Another tlmo a train was captured near
Cnllet''fi station , on what la now the South
ern railroad. Leo was making his prelimi
nary preparations for Ills Gettysburg cam
paign , Hooker was covering Washington ,
whllo Pleasanton's cavalry corps was sta
tioned on tbo river about fifty miles from
the capital. General Stuart had sent to
Mosby by Captain Fountain Heattle a small
mountain howitzer , and It was determined
to ueo it in an attack on the railroad which
was emplo > ed by the union army for the con
voying of troops. To cripple this service
would bo a great aid to the confederacy. So
the telegraph lines were cut , a rail removed ,
and with the howitzer on the bank the men
waited for tbo train , In a few minutes It
came booming along , then glided from the
track , while the infantry guard fired a vol
ley. In a momeqt a shell from tbo gun went
craaUina Into the boiler , at which the trwj ?
debortcd. The hay on board fired up and
burned brightly , white the escaping steam
made a nolso llko that of Inferno's caldrons ,
The cars were loaded with line sutler's
storcu , and all of this was secured by the
hungry rangers.

Most people fancied that the material for
centenaries waa pretty nearly exhausted.
They thought that the end of It was in
sight with the anniversary of the battle of
Trafalgar. Out no ; the Germans have now
broken the record. They have Just cele
brated the crate-nary of the far-famed Baron
Munchnsen.
UnepdlghtenecJ mortals hereabouts used to
think that Munchausen was a legendary
hero , says the Now York Sun. Therp are
few people who have not read the story cf
hl exploits , and many have eeen them and
enjoyed the spectacle hugely In the old
Kngllsh pantomime ,
But the baron was by no means an Imag
inary character. He nourished In flesh and
blood and. the pantomime did not present
anything more than a mere sketch of his ad
ventures. Ho belonecdi , we are told by the
German newt-papcm , to one of the mott an
cient families In Gcrmeay , and his de.'cend-
ar.t gave to IMnover und nrunswlck many
distinguished statesmen He was born In
1720 In the magnificent domain of Boden-
werder. He wtfs educated with great care ,
'llko all the young nobles of his time , and
when 140vas a yputh ho became a page In
the service of his lor' , the duke of Bruns
wick. His determined chancier and eln-
gular intelligence- made him prominent. The
duke of Brunswick was chawed with blm
and when be was 20 years old he became -
came a lieutenant In the Hlga regiment of
nusslan culratslers , of which the Empress
Anna afterward made him colonel , Mun-
. He wa
chouscn was an excellent officer.
coniplcuou * in two campalgna agaiast me
Turks , wherein lie dlsplajed brilliant mili
tary qualities and unquestionable bravery.
At last ho got married to a charming Ltvo-
nlan lady named Jacoblno von Dunten. There
upon ho abandoned the , military career and
retired to his country seat.
It was then that hit ) reputation became
legendary. Rich , hospitable , and a passion
ate hunter , he made his house the rendezvous
of nil the country nobility In the
neighborhood of the Wrier. ID company
Kith his friends , smoking his pipe and drinkIng -
Ing his punch , he liked to toll extravagant
stories. His Imagination was prodigious
and his wit was never exhausted. Every
body listened to him with pleasure , because
he was comical and gcod-natured. His com
panions were always Interested by lila
fabulous stories , which , of course , wen * never
presented In the form of facts. But as lie
grew older ho became fccle-mlndcd ! and
fancied that ho was really the hero of the
marvelous exploits which ho used to laugh
at years before.
In that way he lived for several years
with his amiable and good wlfo , surrounded
( > y o society of frlendu who listened to him
with delight , nattering his vanJty and gl rlfy-
U.'K his exploits.
Then fortune abandoned him ; his stories
were turned against hlmrelf. A gentleman
among his guests took It Into hU head to
gather up all the nonsense that bo used to
talk about. Ho published it In a volume
which was full of satire. The little book
had an , enormous success. I'lvo editions of
It were published In I < omlon In two years
After that It was translated Into German
and reproduced with malignity In in
numerable editions in hU own country.
Naturally enough , the baron did not llko
the fame that uas given to him In that
rhapo. Ho appreciated thoroughly the
ridicule with -which his Ill-natured ' .ir.orlan
surrounded him ; and when hla good wife
died ho was foolish enough to marry for
the second time , In spite of his advanced
years. This was a. now misfortune for the
baron. Ilia second wlfo was a faithless
