A WKECKING TRAIN.
.HOW RAILROADS OPEN THE LINE
AFTER AN ACCIDENT.
Tho Train Is Made Up of a Locomotive,
a Derrick Car, a Box Car with Heavy
Appliances, and a Tool Car These
Cars Contain Everything Needful.
"Accident to train No. 16, engine 46,
Engineer A. Jones, Conductor L Wat
son."
- It is a dispach like the above that the
superintendent of a railroad dreads most
He may have provided a most careful
system of signals, may have perfectly
trustworthy trainmen and competent
switchmen; yet, despite all this, smash
ups will occur, trains will collide, tracks
will be blocked and traffic stopped some-
It is to prevent the stoppage of busi
ness that every railroad keeps on hand
several wrecking trains which are ready
at a moment's notice to go to any part
of tho system, clear away wrecks, tem
porarily repair tracks and to put engines
and cars in sufficient good order to reach
the repair shops. '
The moment a wreck occurs the tele
graph operator at the nearest station
sends a dispatch like the one above, fol
lowed by numbered . answers to the fol
lowing questions, which are copied on a
blank at the superintendent s office:
L Place of accident?
&. What caused it?
3. Were any persons Injured? If so, what
persons and to what extent? .
4. Is main track obstructed?
& Is the track or roadbed much damaged?
8. Is a side track near the obstruction which
can be used to pass trains around?
7. Will Bection force be sufficient to clear ob
struction? If not, how mnch greater force Is
wanted?
8. How long will it take to clear the track so
trains can pass?
9. Is engine off the track or damaged? What
position is engine in?
10. How many cars are broken or off the
track?
11. How many cara 'are wanted, and what
kind, to transfer freight in?
13. Remarks of any nature concerning the
accident.
This is made out in full and signed by
the conductor. ' ' ,
HOW AN ACCIDENT IS REPORTED. ,
Supposing it was a freight train that
was wrecked. It is bound west,- and
on account of a broken' rail the train
was thrown from the track, and sev
eral box cars and "flats were piled up
on both tracks. The conductor would
fill out the blank,, and.when received by
the superintendent would read some
thing like" the folio wing: Engine 46 En
gineer, Jones; conductor, Watson;
near Brown ville; 2; broken rail; 3, none;
4, yes; 5, yes; 6, no; 7. wrecking train;
8, live or six hours; 0, yes, slightly; 10,
seven; 11, five; 12, four; 13, approach on
southbound track.
. As soon as this dispatch arrives at the
office a spare engine is attached to the
wrecking train, a gang of men are has
tily put aboard, tho conductor gives the
signal and the train speeds away to the"
scene of the disaster.
The train is made up of three cars, the
first a flat car with a small and powerful
derrick and a few spare car trucks.
Next behind comes a box car well loaded
with blocking, which is of value as tem
porary foundation for cars whose trucks
have been smashed or torn from under
them, in the same car is an ample sup
ply of large and small hawsers, chains
and canvas covers to protect perishable
freight from rain and snow. ' .. "
The tool car is last, and this indeed
is a most interesting one. Some are
divided into two or three rooms by par
titions running from side to side at dif
ferent points in the interior. : In the cen
ter, compartment of .a three room tool
car, where the wreckers remain when in
transit, is a cooking stove and all uten
sils connected with a range, and hard
by is a small pantry in which is stored a-i
big supply .of canned meats, coffee and
utensils to prepare a hearty meal. Ad
joining is tne foreman s room witn aesK
and all material for writing and the
keeping of reports, telegraph machines,
batteries and electrical supplies.
The latter supply comes in handy at
the wreck. ' ""Wires are carried up from
the car top to one of the railroad' wires,
connected, and the force is in communi
cation with the whole railroad system.
Her Views.
Charlie B is a board of trade man,
Hia wife has ideas of her own.' :
A few days ago she told Charlie at
dinner: --
"Reciprocity is a great thing.
"When did you find that out?" asked
Charlie. " . - - -
"A lady stepped on my dress today and
never offered a word of apology."
"Of course not,"" chuckled Charlie. -
"But she smiled." '
"Oh!"
"Then I smiled. You see that smile
produced a smile in return." . . . : . . .
"A man would have smiled, too, under
the circumstances," remarked Charlie. .
"That was reciprocity," said Mrs.
Charlie, ignoring the remark.
" Almost as satisfactory as if you had
6lapped each other."
And she answered in a dreamy voice:
"Almost." Detroit Free Press. ' ,

A Clever Collie.
T. Sidney Cooper, the English tmimal
painter, says that he often made valua
ble studies in Cumberland at places
where Scotch drovers halted with their
cattle for the night. On such occasions
he often had a chance to see illustrations
of an animal's intelligence as well as of
its physical perfection.
One day when there was a pouring
rain a man consented to sit for me at the
Inn where I was staying. He. brought
his collie with him and both of them
were dripping wet, so he put-off his
plaid ana laid it on the floor by the dost.
I made a very successful sketch of the
-nan, but before I had finished it the
dog grew fidgety with the wet plaid,
ana nis master said, "Tak it awa mon
tak'itawaT - : .
The dog took the end of it between
his teeth and dragged it outof the room.
After I had finished the' drover's por
trait I asked him if he thought his dog
would lie quiet for a time, as I wished
to sketch him.
"Oh, yes, mon," he answered, "hell
do anything I say to him. . Watch!
Watch!" he called, and then "whustled"
for htm, as the Scotch sav.
As the dog did not appear we went to
gether to look for him, and found him
sitting before the kitchen fire with the
end of the plaid in his mouth, holding it
xip to dry. I expressed my admiration
of his intelligence, and the master re
plied:
"Ah, he's a canny creature, sir! He
knows a mony things, does that dog, sir.
But come awa. mon; the gentleman
wants to mak' your picture."
So we returned to my room, and the
handsome collie sat for hia portrait.

Sirs. Astor's Lingerie.
The cedar chests in -the Astor mansion
which contain the superb underwear of
the queenly Mrs. Astor are perfect house
hold ornaments'in 'themselves, with deep
erigraven gold lockers with the initial
"A" wrought in finest Carving upon its
surface. Inside the chest, neatly folded
in webs of choicest linen, are the dainty
garments of society's queen. Each week.
as they leave the ironing sheet, they are
laid within the chests to await the bid
ding of the owner. Every article of this
superb wardrobe is stitched by hand,
and no materials but the purest and
finest of linens and cambrics are used.
They are all elaborately trimmed with
lovely point and duchesse laces, and the
initial "A is daintily embroidered on
every article.
In the same orderly manner Mrs. Astor-
arranges her . footwear, which is
equally , as exquisite; . only the cedar
chests have apartments molded in which
each slipper and boot fits perfectly and
keeps its shape.
By the way, Mrs. Astor has a very
pretty foot for an old lady. Her ankles
are small and shapely and her toes are
extremely narrow. Her daughters, Mrs.
Coleman Drayton and Mrs. Orme Wil
son, ' have neither of them such pretty
feet, and they are eternally envying their
mother her beautiful feet and adorn
ments. New York Cor. Pittsburg Dis

Charles Dickens and the Dog. -
"Every one remembers Dan Brosna
han, the old sexton of St. Patrick's,"
said Mr. H. A. Preston. "Dan had a
little dog, a homely cur, with the most
plebeian blood in his veins, but a re
markably clever animals He would fol
low the sexton everywhere, and the only
way to restrain him was behind closed
doors. One night about twenty-three
years ago Charles Dickens gave a read
ing in Carroll halL Dan was on hand
to look after the hall, rigged in a dress
coat out of deference to the great occa
sion. He had forgotten the dog, but the
dog was on hand. , ?
"In one of his readings, the great nov
elist came to this passage, "Bow-wow-wow,"
barked the little dog." He gave
it a realistic rendering, and almost with
his words came a responsive and lifelike
echo, 'Bow-wow-wow. - There stood
Dan's little yellow cur, directly in front
of Chief Justice Chase, and before the
great men of the nation, mocking their
guest. Dan dragged the dog out, terri
bly mortified, but Dickens said it was
one of the finest compliments he ever re
ceived." Washington Post.
