The in creased space gives me an opportunity to display the many goods 1 have hereto fore been compelled by lack of room to store away. For the convenience of the people of Brunswick, I have purchased an electric clock, connected by wire with the Naval Observatory at Washington. Every day at 11 o’clock a. m., standard, I want all who carry watches to call at my store and get Washington time. - This clock is daily cor rected from Washington at noon, standard (11 o’clock 1 here) and every watch in j Brunswick should be regu lated by it. Don't forget’ this. Regu - late your watclfand you will appreciate its value. E. J.

I The Remarkable Manner in Which a Wild Engine Watt Stopped. “Talk about fast time,” said a rail j road .'-.an on ttie Missouri Pacific skiu | the other day t > his companion, “but I have HviVcr heard of a trip that would | beat one I made myself some years ago, nor of any half so exciting. I formerly lived at Garrett, Ind., the terminus of the central division of the Chicago di- ; vision of the Baltimore and Ohio rail- | road. I had little to do, and made the i railroad yards my loafing headquar ters. At that time the “Billy-O” had an arrangement with the Wabash to transfer all New York freight at Auburn junction, nine miles distant, to the east <>PWls. This was done by the old switch engine, the 642, wlyeh made the trip to the junction daily. “Well, one day ' elimbed aboard a box car when the engine left with a few cars of merchandise to transfer. There were six of us in the party—four yard men, another fellow and myself. We had a jolly time going down, made the transfer and were to come back 'light' that is, with nothing but the engine. Wo had all crowded on the tender, the sig nal was given and Gent Potter, the en gineer, threw himself forward, pulled at the throttle valve and the engine jumped forward as if shot from a cata pult. “We did not think much of this at the time, as Gent was a fine engineer, and handled the engine to suit his fan cy. We went tearing over the railroad crossings and frogs in a manner that was frightful. The tender roched as if on hinges. Something must be wrong, we thought, as Gent was placing our lives in jeopardy. Climbing over the coal we found the cab full of steam, and Gent and the fireman hanging on the side of the engine. “ ‘Jump boys,’ said they; ‘jump, for God’s sake! The throttle valve is pulled clear out, and the engine is run ning wild.’ “To jump would have been instant death. As one of the boys said after ward, the telegraph poles looked like a fine tooth comb. The mile posts tlew by with unseemly rapidity. The yard foreman claimed that a mile was cov ered in thirty-eight seconds, and not one would doubt his word. St. Joe was in sight. Would the track be clear? Only three miles to Garrett, with its network of tracks, switches and spurs! The steam gauge regis tered ninety pounds. There was no hopes of the engine dying out in five or six minutes. With presence of mind the foreman dashed off a 1 w words: “ ‘Engine wild; telegraph Garrett to dear track.’ “This he dropped as we passed St. Joe, and the operator, clear to compre hend the situation, sent it to the dis patcher on the east end without a ‘call,’ as we learned afterward. There was Garrett in sight, with its tall chim neys belching forth smoke: there were the yards filled with freight cars and engines. As we got doser wo could see the men hurrying hither and tbith- I er. The other yard engine was rush | ing madly to the west end of the yard. The main track was dear. We passed the depot like a pursued victim. Pale faces watched us in our mad flight. We passed the railroad shops, and hundreds came running to see the cause of the commotion. The engine was in a quiver; the bell was ringing wildly with each sway of the engine; the escaping steam whistled .as if de mented, and fires blazed from the hot boxes. Then we saw something that made us think we were doomed. “The switdi to the coal chute was open, and the long ascent could only end in our destruction. We looked Again, saw men working on the track, and then we knew we were saved. What were they doing? Why, bless my soul, friend, those fellows wi re oil ing the track up the chute. Wo st ruck the ascent and slid up about W 0 feet; and then the old 642 stood still and the wheels flew around; sparks came from beneath them like from an emery wheel. Gradually the engine slid down, the wheels still in the forward motion, and thus the engine died out. We all suffered a severe shock to our nervous systems, but had it not been for the presence of mind of the master mechanic, who ordered the oil poured on the chute track, I might not have been here today.” “And how fast did you go ?” ' “Well, the first six miles were made in less than five minutes; the last three were made in much slower time, as the steam was exhausting itself rapidly.”— St. Louis Globe-Democrat. New Trout. In the last ten years five names have been added to the list of trout known in American lakes and streams. Two new species have been found—the Salvelinus Sunapce of Lak- Sunapee, N. 11., which was first noticed in 1881, but was not recognized as a new species | until 1885, and the “yellow fin trout” (Salmo My kiss Macdonald!) of Colo | ratio, which was named as an inde- I pendent species in 1889. In addition I three imported species—the common ; brown trout of Europe, the German 1 saibling and the Lock Leven trout from Scotland —have found American homes. —Arkansaw Traveler. . THE CHURCH AND THE LODGE. Alarm al the Inroad?* Made Upon Re ligion by Secret Organ Ira t ioiy*. What shall be the attitude of the church toward the secret orders which have multiplied so rapidly throughout the country during the last few years? ; With many of our churches no problem is more serious, or beset with greater complications. The problem would be simplified somewhat if these organiza tions were made up entirely of men who have professed no allegianoe to tin- church, but the place which the lodge holds in the affections of imuiy a i church member is what gives rhe to great anxiety. Sad though the confes ' sion is, it must l»e iieknowhslgc-l that ' some men whose names are on the ehureh roll habitually give pns'cdeiK'e to the secret society over the ehureh. If the meetings conflict the successful ’ competitor for their presence is the I former. They liavc no tijiie to i-pure tor the great religious garncrmgs iiko those at Saratoga, but they will go a long distance to l>e present at a con clave of their fraternity. At the meeting of the Vermont Con gregationalists at Rutland the subject aroused the liveliest discussion of the whole session. Resolutions mildly dep recating the absorption of some Chris tians in such interests were set one side, because a few thought that the i formal protest would be considered a declaration of war, and would enibar ■ rasa*them in their efforts to counteract < i the baneful influences of these societies. I Yet not a man who spoke failed to ad | mit that Christian concerns in his own I community were suffering on account 1 iof them. Several who live in towns of I only a few thousand inhabitants re ported from twenty to forty thriving orders. We believe that Vermont is not ex- ; eeptional in this respect. The lodge— using the term to include the meetings • of the various secret orders—will be found strongly intrenched all through the country, growing in numbers and power, and everywhere detaching the devotion of Christian men from the church, and too often, we fear, from the straightforward service of their master. Recent figures, carefully com piled, show that Boston has 243 church es to 51)9 lodges; Brooklyn, 355 church es to 695 lodges; Washington, 181 churches to 316 lodges; Chicago, 384 churches to 1,088 lodges, and the same proportion obtains in other cities.— ' Congregationalist. I French Royalists Sell to the Kaiser. Three French royalists have just sold the historical estate of D’Urville, of, which they were by heritage the co proprietors. The purchaser is the Ger man emperor, who took a fancy to the place when he first visited Metz, and has ever since watched for an oppor tunity of buying it. The estate in ques tion is wedged in between German Lor raine and Luxemburg. Some centuries ago it was under the sovereignty of the house of Orange, or rather constituted a little sovereign state in itself. Louis XVI bought it from Maria Theresa and the Emperor Joseph for £ 10,000. The king was to have gone there if he had escaped from the Tuile ries, and would have been guarded by a regiment of De Bouille’s division. As Urville was close to the Luxemburg frontier he could easily have with- ■ drawn from France if threatened by the revolutionary army. The estate of Urville became part of the national do main and was sold to the Bande Noire, but the old chateau and the timber in the park escaped being demolished ami cut down. The castle is a noble pile, and the park in which it stands is richly wooded.—Cor. London News. '1 he Short Lived Humorist. So scarce is the funny man that you must seek for him when you want him. He is not nearly so numerous as his reputation, lie loves life and light and warmth, and is so vivacious in his mere enjoyment of life that possibly he some times multiplies himself to one's irritat ed imagination, as one light winged, restless fly, child of the summer, seems to be a hundred or a thousand to the wise man, bent upon improving his mind and tempting eternity by reading the “ Encyclopedia Britannica.” The ‘‘end man'’ is a May fly, living in the sunshine for one happy day and then forgotten. In a semi-critical paper a few months since Mr. Lukens mentions by name about 25(1 American humorists who have madq merry with their friends luring the past 200 years. It is a pa thetic record of strangers. Read it, and underline the names which have a familiar sound to your cars. Blot out the names you cannot re member to have read or heard before, and if you are under 40 years of age the condensation of the paper will startle you. The people have not been led into the wilderness of frivolity by the end man. Sometimes the funny man, in a moment of madness, con sents to lecture two nights in succession. The second lecture is almost invariably a dismal failure. “One consecutive night” is the limit of the funny man’s course. But people do like to be amused a little, and so the end man is usually put on. Frequently he is in formed—and the unconscious serious ness of the committeeman who so in forms him is funnier than anything in the lecture —that “we have had the . very best lecturers in the country on our course this winter, the strongest minds and the greatest thinkers in America, and now our people want a little change.”— Robert J. Burdette in Forum. IISk Wife Became a Beggar. A Ragusan, returning home from the United States after twenty years' ab senee, was accosted on landing by a beggar woman, who asked him for alms. They r, cognized each other sim ultaneously. iShe was his wife! A re markable tale of villainy was at once unfolded. The husband had prospered in America, ami from the first had sent home fifty florins a month for the use of his wife. As his position improved he increased the amount until it reached 200 florins monthly. But the priest had never given the poor woman more than five florins, and after fifteen years of constant embezzlement he had forged certificates of the deaths of both husband and wife, sending that of the latter to the former and vice versa, and then retiring from the scene. The husband married a rich /American lady, with whom he returned to Europe. The wife became de[>endent on char ity. Hence the romantic meeting.— London Tit-Bits. A locomotive of the Consolidated 1 1 road, which -was housed safely in the ! : roundhouse at Bridgeport, Conn., one night, had a surprising attack of som [ nambulism before dawn. When no | one was in or near it it started out of the roiimlhou.se and came to a short , ami undignified halt in the turntable I pit. In some way the steam was forced ! through the wliistlo ho that it was im possible to shut it oft, and the straiid< d I engine gave a shriek of di tress which lasted an hour and miule iwry ofie it 1 the town alive to its predicament.— Fluladelnhia Ledger. 1000 lllllii WINDOW SHADES Complete with Spring Kollers, Handsome and Artist'c designs from 50 Cents to 81.00 Each. - , W e can suit almost every taste, and we arc not anxious to hold them over for EXORBITANTPRICES.
