HAMILTON A JOURNAL.
A nsrlgHt of Terror^
BY A. S.
This night, which will dwbll in my
memory w ith vivid distinctness while
life and reason are left me, was in
October a ion" while ago. I was at
that time a telegraph operator, sta
tioned in a little torn upon the Grand
Trunk line of railroad.
Mine was by no means a model
place of residence. There were beer
gardens, drinking saloons, and gam
bling-houses, out of all proportion to
the more respectable shops and resi
dences; We had tWo arrests of coun
terfeiters, and there was scarcely a
day passed that there was not a
brawl amongst the ruffians around
us. Still, there was a school, and a
timid blue-eyed woman had Come to
teach there.
llow long an unprotected woman
might, have lived there I can only
guess, for Alice Holt had been there
but three months when she consent
ed to walk into church with me one
day, and walked out iny wife. .This
was in July, and we had occupied a
pre ty cottage nearly a quarter of a
mile from the telegraph office since
our marriage.
Being the only man employed in
the telegraph business in the town, I
was obliged to remain constantly in
the office during the day and part of
the evening, and Alice herself brought
me my dinner and supper.
There was a stfcad room next to
my office, with a window in it, but
only one door, communicating with
the larger room. Here Alice bad
fitted np a dressing-taole, and mir
ror, wash-stand} and some shelves,
where she kept pepper, salt and pick
les for my office repasts. The two
rooms are on the second floor of a
wood • building that stood alone.
With this necessary introduction
I come to the storv of that October
night, and the part my blue-oyed Al
ice, only 18 and afraid of her own
shadow, played in it. 1 was in the
office about 7; 30 o’clock, when one
v f bc ml nj- offlulalii ramf in. JI
flurried, saying:
“ Sterling have jou been over to
the embankment on tber>ad to day ?”
The embankment was not a quarter
of a mile from the office, on the
east side.
“No; I have not.”
“It was a special providence took
me there, then. One of the great
masses of rock has rolled down di
rectly across the track. It will be as
dark as a wolPs month to-n'ght, and
if the midnight up train comes with
out warning, there will be a horrible
smash-up.* 4
“It must stop at Fostville, then,”
I replied. “I will send a message.’’
“Yes, That is what I stepped in
for* The down track is clear so you
need not stop that train.”
“All right, sir.”
I was standing at the door, seeing
my caller down the rickety staircase,
when Alice came up with my supper.
It was hot and I was cold, so I
drew up a table, and opening can
and basket, sat down to enjoy it.
Time enough for business, I
thought, afterward. As I ate, we
chatted.
“Any message to-day?’* my wife
asked.
“ Ono for John Martin.”
“John Martin?” Alice cried; “the
greatest ruffian in the neighborhood.
What was the message?”
Midnight train! ’’
“Was that all ?’*
“That was all. Mr. Hill has just
been ill hete to tell me there was a
huge rook across the track at the em
bankment, so I shall stop the mid
night train at Postville. The pas
sengers must wait a few hours there,
and’eorr. v>n i.. the morning after
the track is cleared.’’
“Have you sent the message, Rob
ert?”
“Not yet. There is plenty of time-
That train does not reach Postville
till half-past 11 and it is not yet 8.
Yes it is just striking.’’
“Better send it Robert. If there
should be an accident, you would
never forgive yourself. Seud it
while I put some clean towels in the
-rash-room, and then I will come and
sit *:.i- you i'll you can come home.”
She went into the u*e6idiig room
asebe spoke, taking no light, but
depending on the caudles burning in
the office, I was rising from my
seat to send the telegram, when the
door opened and four of the worst
characters in the town, led by John
Martin entered the room. Before I
HAMILON, HARRIS CO., GA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2t 1876.
could speak, two threw me back in
my chair, otlo held a revolver to illy
head, alid John Martin spoke!
“Mr. Hill has been here to tell you
to stop the up train. Yon w ill not
send that message. Listen. Tho
rock is thore to stop that Lain—put
there for that purpose. Thero is
$60,000 in gold in the train. Do
you understand ?”
“You would risk all the lives in
the train to rob it! *' I cried, horror
struck.
“Exactly 1 ” was the cool roply.
“One-fifth is yours if you keep back
the message. The money has been
watched all the way along! ’’
I saw the whole diabolical scheme
at once. If the train came it would
be thrown oif the embankment and
easily plundered by the vtllians who
would lie in wait there.
“ Come,” Martin said, “will you
join IL?”
“Never 1 ’’ I cried indignantly.
“YVe must force you then. Tie
him fast! ”
I trembled for Alice. If only my
life were at stake I could have borne
it better. But even if we were both
murdered I could not take tho blood
of the passengers in tho train upon
my head. Not a sound came from
the little room as I was tied hand and
foot to my chair, bound so securely
that I could not mo e. It was pro
posed to gag me, but finally conclud
ed that my cries, if I made any,
could not be heard, aud a handker
chief was bound over my month.
The door of the wash-room was
closed and locked. Alice stood un
discovered, then the light was blown
out and the ruffians left me, locking
the door after them.
There was a long silence. Out
side I could hear the step of one of
the men pacing up and down, watch
ing. I rubbed my head against the
wall behind me, and succeeded in
getting the handkerchief on my
head to fall around my neck.
I had scarcely accomplished this
when there was a tap on the inner
door.
‘Ttolioib ! '* =tAA AUoo. *
“Yes, love! Speak low, there is a
man under my window.”
“Are you alone in the room ?”
“Yes, dear.’’
“I am going to Fostville. There
is no man under my window, and I
can get out there. I have six long
roller towels here, knotted together,
and I have cut my white skirt into
wide strips to join them. The rope
so made reaches nearly to the
ground. I shall fasten it to the door
knob and let myself dowh. It will
not take long to reach home, saddle
Selim and reach Postvillein time.
Don’t fear for me> When you hear
a hen cackling under my window you
will know I am safely on the
ground.
Little Alice j My heart throbbed
heavily as I heard her heroic pro*
posal, but I dared not stop her.
“Heaven bless and protect yon, ’
I said, and listened for her signal.
Soon the cackling noise told me the
first step of her perilous undertaking
was taken.
It was dark, cloudy and threaten
ing a storm, and as nearly as 1 could
guess, close upon 9 o’clock. She
had to go six miles, and I could only
wait and pray. I was too much
stunned to yet realize the hfcfoism of
this timid woman, starting alone up
on the dark ride through a wild coun
try with a storm threatening.
Nine o’clock! As the bell of the
chnrch clock ceased to strike, a riitm.
ble, a flash, told me a thunder storm
was coming rapidly. Oh, the long,
long minutes of the next hour!
Ten o’clock. Rain falling in torrents,
thunder pealing, lightning flashing !
Alice was so afraid of lightning.
Often I held her, white as death,
trembling, almost fainting, in such a
storm as this. Had she feared to
start, with the storm in prospect, or
was she lying somewhere on the wild
road-side, overcome by terror, or
perhaps stricken by lightning?
Eleven o’clock. The storm was o
ver, '.hough the still night was inky
black —no sound to cheer me, none
to make the hideous suspense more
endurable. A host of oossibiliiies,
like frightful night-mares, chased one
another through my tortured brain.
Would the next hour never pass?
Once the clock tolled midnight, all
was safe.
I was dreuched by perspiration
wrung from me by mental agony one
hour, chilled with horror the next.
No words can describe the misery of
waiting as the minutes dragged a
Ibng. tn the dead rilenco a fnr-ofl
sound struck a thrill of horror to my
heart, far oxcecbing even tho previ
ous agony. Far, far sway a faint
whistle came through the air. Near
er, and nearer, then the distaul rum
tiling of the train growing more dis
tinct.
The midnight up train was coming
swiftly, surely, to certain distraction!
Where was my wife ? Had the
ruffians intercepted her at the oot
tnge T Was she lying dead some
whore on the wild road ? Her her
oism was of no avail hut was her
life saved? luTitt-ift***f
question tho approaifliio;* ipunble of
the train was lost; far nitre did I
feel the bitterness of Alice dead than
the horror ofthe doomed lives carried
by the train. Why had I let her start
on her mad errand ?
I tried to move, and writhed in
impotent fu y in my chair, forcing
the cruel cords to tear my flesh as I
vainly tried to loosen even one hand.
The heavy train rumbled past the
telegraph office. It was an express
train and did not stop at my station;
but as I listened, every sense sharp
ened by mental torture, it seemed to
me that the speed slackened. Listen
ing intently, I knew that it stopped
at lire embankment, as near as I
could judge. Not with the sickening
crash I expected, not preceeding
wails and groans from the injured
passengers, but, gradually and care
fully, A moment more, and I heard
shout", the crack of firearms, sounds
of some conflict.
What could it all moan ? The
minutes were all ho trs till I heard a
key turn in the door of my prison and
a moment later two tender arms were
round my neck and Alice was whis
pering in my ear:
“ They will cotne in a few minutes,
love, to set you free! The villinn
left the key in the door ! I thought
of that before I started, but thgre
was a man at the front watching, I
crept around the house and saw him,
so I did not dare to he seen.”
“ But have you bleu to Potsvillo?”
v ‘ HujAj ueui*
“ In all that storm ?”
“Selim seemed to understand. lie
carried me swiftly and surely. I was
well wrapped in my waterproof cloak
and hood. When I reached Potsvillo
the train had not come up.
“But it is here !”
“Only the locomotive and one car
riage. In that carriage were a sher
iff, a deputy sheriff and twenty men
armed to the teeth, to capture the
gang at the embankment. I came,
too, and they lowered me from the
platform when the speed slackened,
so that I could run in here and tell
you all was safe.”
When we spoke my wife’s fingers
had first untied the handkerchief
around my neck, and then, in the
dark, found some of the knots of the
cords binding mo' Hut I was still
tied fast and strong, when there was
a rush of many feet on the staircase,
and in another moment light and
joyful voices.
“We've captured the whole nine!”
was the good news. “Three, inclu
ding John Martin, are desperately
wounded, but the surprise was per
feet I Now, old fellow for you 1 ”
A dozen clasp-knives at once sev
ered my bonds, and a dozen hands
were extended ill greeting.
As for praise showered on my
plncky little wife, it would require
av olumeto tell lialPo£,it.
The would-be assassdfh and rob
bers were sent for trial and senteno
ed to penal servitude.
Alice and I left for u more civilized
community the following year. But
before we went, therj was an invita
tion sent to us to meet a committee
from the railroad company at Postr
ville. We accepted; had a dinner;
were toasted and compfraented, and
then Alice was presented with a sil
ver tea-service, as a testimonial,
from the passengers on the threaten
ed up-train, the company and 1 ail
road directors in token of their grat
tude for the lives and property saved
by the heroine.

Three Jolly Husbands*
Three Jolly husbands out in the
country, by the name of Jim Watson,
Joe Brown, and Bill Walker, sat one
evening at the village f avern, until be
ing pretty well “corned,” they agreed
that each ono returning home should
do the first thing his wife told him,
in default of which h should the
next morning pay tho hill. Thay
then separated for the night, enga
ging to meet the next morning and
give an honest account of their pro
ceedings at homo so far as they rela
ted to the bill. The next morning.
Wnlkor and Brown were early at
their posts) but it was sometime be
fore Watson made his appearance.
Walker began first; “you see,
when I neared my house the candle
was out, and the fire giving but a
glimmering light, I came near walk
ing accidentally into a pot of hotter
that the pancakes wore to be made of
the next morning. My wife, who
was dreadfully out of humor at being
tip ao late said to me, sarcastically,
•‘Bill do put your foot in the hatter,”
“Just as you say, Meggy,” said I,
put my foot into the pot of hatter
and went to had.’’
Next, Joo Brown told his story
“My wife had already retired to our
regular sleeping room which adjoins
the kitchen and the door of which
was ajar; not being able to navigate,
you know, perfectly ,1 made a dread
ful clattering among the furniture
and my wife, in no very pleasant
mood, bawled out: “Do break the por
ridge pot.’ No sooner said than done,
I seized hold of the tail of the pot, and
striking it against the chimney jamb,
I broke it in a hundred pieces. After
this I retired to res', and got a cur
tain lecture all night for my pains.”
Ii was now Jim Watson's torn to
give an account of himself, which ho
did with a long fucc, as follows:
My wife gate the most unlucky
command in tlio world, for I was
blundering tip stairs in the dark,
when she cried out: Do break your
neck, do, Jim.” “I will be hanged if
I do, Kate,’’said I, as I gathered my
self up, I’d sooner pay the bill. So,
landlord, here is the cash for jou,
and this is the last time I’ll ever risk
five doilais tit tho command of my
wife.’
