I had a run out of Columbus, I Uhio, ten or twelve years ago, and several thin gi conspired to bring about the incident I am about to relate. I had a pasenr run of nine hours, beginning at 7 o'clock, i P. 31. For nearly three years I had a locomotive, named after a railroad 1 official, "Ben Davis and I got to know that niece of machinery better than any man etef knew his horse. Yon may buy two watches of the samemakeof the same jeweler, at the same time, and while one will keep excellent time and gite good satisfaction the other will have off spells. It is the same with two locomotive. : While' Ben Davis would make regular trips day after day for months without giving me the least trouble or wanting a cent's worth of repairs, other locomotives from the same shop were in the hands of the repairers as often a? ctit on the road. One of our freight engineers was a roan named Oeorge Koby. Jle came on our road from some line in New England, and gave good satis faction for about three months. Then whiskey got the better of him, and he went to the dogs. One day, after his fireman had brought the train- into Columbus, with Roby drunk and asleep on the floor of the cab, he got his blue-envelope: The idea somehoWjjJodged in his head that the officials were down on him, and he swore he wouldx have re venge for being discharged One afternoon he turned up down the road, and was noticed to be drink ing heavily, and to have the bear ing of a man bent on gome desper ate deed. This was at a station eighteen miles from Columbus, and on a gloomy April evening. I was due here at 7.28, and it was a two-minute stop. A mixed freight always side-tracked there for us to pass, and then followed us down the line. Well, I was there on this special evening on time, as usual, having haggage, express and three coaches, Til -i "i t m it oegan to urizzie just Deiore we reached the Station, and I saw that we were in for a dark night , and slippery track. I did not see Roby, nor did anyone tell me that he had shown up there. ; c4rri-rtv;-r-iain. . "tram was nnusuaiiy long, ami tuai it, was pulled by one of the : biggest en gines on the road. Three or four people got eJF, and perhaps as many got on, and we were off on the sec ond. It was arunof seven miles to the next stop, and my schedule was thirty-seven miles an hour. We had not yet come to a stand still at the next stop when the tele graph operator, whose face was as white as snow, ran- alongside, and called to me : "There's a wild engine - behind you lorneav He ran back to the conductor, and in ten seconds that official rushed up and shouted to me": ."It's a runaway engme-r-pull out at once V ' lie yelled "All aboard !" sprang for the steps of a car, and away we went, some of the people getting off or on being flung down as they jostled each other. After we left the station where the freight was side-tracked, a hrakeman ran down the tracks to open the" switch. As he did so Roby mounted the engine with cocked revolver m band, and drove the engineer and fireman off. He hajd previously uncoupled her from the train without beingsdetec ted. He ran the engine out oji the main line and half a mile beyond. Then he filled up the firebox, saw- that she had plenty of water, pulled the throttle wide open, and jumped off. - That was how we came to have a runaway engine behind us. As soon as the engineer., was driven from the cab he. ran into the station and informed the operator, and about the time the runaway started off we got the news Wre were about six mileshead of her. , lhat meant about six minutes. - - IVhen I pulled' out I supposed the programrne was for some of the station folks to run down and open the switch so that the ' runaway would be ditched, but it appeared that the agent was so dreadfully rat tled that he did not . attempt this step until too late. The switch was forty rods -from the station, and jost as an employee reached it, the runaway came roar-, ing past. . My next stop . was ten miles distant. I reasoned it out in about "a minute that if the runaway was ditched, the fact wonld be tele graphed ahead. If she wasn't,-that fact would also be clicked over the wires and I would get some sign or signal as we passed. If she was following us there would be no time to switch in, and my. hair, stood up at the idea of trying to outrun her. I made -the ten miles in twelve min utes and a half. A mile away I be gan tooting the whistle, arid as we neared the station, still flying, I leaned out to look for the agent. He was on the platform. If he held up bis hand I would stop. But he did not On the contrary," he waved his arm dxwn the line" for me to keep on, and I khew that we were in for it- . The runaway could not beover three minutes behind, and there would not be time to turn her in on the siding here-. . "v The next flop was eleven mile awayl and tt wa a good piece off track. Little by little I pave her 1 morel etram, and after the first mile I knw that wt we re reelmgofl a 1 In lie r very minute. There was train enonjjh to bold ot fteady, and the trck was straight, and but for the awful roar It would have been easy to imagine we were flying. The cen ahead would let me know by signal, as tne otner had done. . He wis 4n the platform, with a great crowd behind him, and he motioned me on. ine runaway was still af ter us. She must have rained some, but how much I could not say. j It was eight mile and a half to the next station, and I oonld nnt do better than forty-five or forty-1 me runaway must catch tts in the next six or seven miles. We had gone: about five miles when I got the signal on the bell-rope to stop, and soon as I bad slowed down a littld, a brakeman came over, the tender with instruction to stop at the station; ' " Tlae conductor, knowing that wc could not outrun: thewild engine, and Ithat there wks no show to ditch her, could think1 of but one plan to save tne train, lie called the nas- sengprs from the rear coach and cast it off. This was on the eleven-mile run, and the coach had about two mintite3 to lose its momentum be fore the runaway struck it.- The pilot ran under) the platform, the end of the coach was lifted up, and next moment engine and car were in the ditch. Neither one of them , was ever re paired, the wreck being too com plete; nor did the officers of the law ever succeed in laving hands on PobV,; : .t The Banner County. ' , CpxdVER, Catawba Co. N. C, ) June 8th, 1886. J , EbiTOBS Her ald: Wre have been having court in Newton list week, Judge Avery presiding.,There was no case of special interest. Charlie Burton, col., who passed anx order on ihe county treasury and 'drew from the public school1 fnnd3 thirty dollar's,-was convicted and given free transportation to italeigh, and will be boarded and clothed for the next three years at the expense of the ;tato. The magistrates met last Monday auuj eiectea county commissioners and, county supermtendent of pub lic jnstrcUoiilyeciad, to nave nve commissioners, having tried three for the past two years. Two of the old board were re-elected. Rev. Prof. R. A. Yoder was re-elected superintendent of instruc tion!. This, I think, was a wise &o tionj, as Prof. Yoder is taking, an active interest in the educational work of the county and has done muih to improve our public schools dur ng the past year. He is now eng iged in the preparation of a map of C atawba county. He is survey ing all the public highways and lo cating all school-houses, churches, &c. This map, when completed, will be by far the mosf accurate of any ;hing of the kind I have ever een. It will be of incalculable value to teachers of the county; besides, it willbeanadertisement of her varied interest1 and industries. Your correspondent has had the pleasure of seeing the preliminary drawing of this map, and can con fidently say that in this map Cataw ba will have something of which she may well be proud. - ; But then Catawba is the Banner County in everything except proJii- bitian. j That just reminds me we had too, an election on that question, last Monday. Returns are coming-in slowly, especially prohi bition returns. Ihe returns from Sparkling Catawba Springs, wliere - democracy hasitsttongholdr-wfe5re republican votes are as scarce as Kenjs teeth where the - fraudulent Hayes never got a voteand oily Blaine but on these returnVshow eiglt prohibition votes against one hunareu ana twenty ior license. Only one box yet heard . from gives prohibition a.majority and thai "is Coqover, giving prohibition forty two! and license thirty-four-a ma jority of eight. I hope some un heard from box may do better, but the prospect for prohibition in Ca tawba look rather gloomy at pres ent Over one thousand persons signed petitions askings this elec tion, and I doubt if the causey of prohibition has received much over one-half this number of votes. I would like to comment at length on the meanness of .men -who ask" thus for an election and then grow indifferent, or jnmp the fence and vote against it, but I am too long already, and must stop.

In the year 18i)3 there died at Bath a lady who had amassed con siderable money. On the inside of her pillow slip was pinned a note, which ran thus : "I have made a will. If you would be rich find it." There was something charming in this idea. The old lady must have been of a humorous turn of mind. No doubt she often pictured to her self her young and aged relations, male and female alike, in pursuit of this phantom fortune. Carpets wonld be ripped -nip, the contents of cushions and beds scattered about the floor, the wall, paper torn down, the garden dug . up, and, in fact, everything turned topsy-turvy. The story goes tlat the search went on night and dayfor a week, each party being tanxious, naturally enough, to.findjthel will, when just as the search wAs aloout to be given f0 in"disgust We 'document was found tightly sown inside, the skin of the lady's wis:. Then, the fam ily gathered together to hear it read. J it consisteu oi one clause, ana mat was to the effect "that the finder of this, in consideration of his labor and good luck in finding it, shall havekthe sum of one penny a" day for hi natural life, the rest of my property ta go to charities named below."-. ::;XV : ,K Here the story ends. Nothing is said about the feelings of the will seekers, which is disappomtihg, for there is as grand scope here for the pen of the novelist as there is for the brush of the painter.---3Ian-chester Times. - Religious Complexion of Con gress..

The almost incredible story re cently printed about the death of a boy near Grand Falls, Mag., from hemorrhage caused by pulling from his mouth a live snake which had grown to bis flesh, prove to b literally true. The lad' name wa George Murichson, and hi age 8 years. , He waa. a bright little fel low, and lived : with hi parent ob a farm about four mile from town Early last winter the boy began to act strangely sick. He had a most voracion appetite, and it wa im possible for him to get enough o eat. His friends got alarmed about him, and sent for physician, who began dosing him for worm. A the winter wore on, the boy grew worse and worse. One ,dax iie felt something crawling up from hi stomach into his throat. He almort choked to death, for the crawling feature fried ineffectually to come out by the nasal passage.
