engineer close at hand who started his hia engine after the runaway at a pretty lively rate of speed which was gradually increased until it assumed the appearance of quite an interesting te and exciting chase it was known that an up train was due in a few minutes and if the car was allowed to proceed alone there was danger of a collision after running some distance endeavoring vainly to

had a chilling chilling effect here on business as well as on t the e atmosphere but little has been done and quietude has been the prevailing characteristic of this city during the week the absence of a class which presents such strongly marked peculiarities to draw the attention of the police is abundantly evident in the plentiful lack of that recklessness of all law and order which it delights to indulge in the sounds of the mechanics labor as fresh additions to the habitations of the city are being reared greets the ear of the pas ser along the qt streets but while they play the part of wise men and build up the citizens are spared the presence ot of those who like all fools would pull puli down and destroy business has been tolerably brisk t today 0 with the of pleasant and
