0L0SE CALL TOE TILDEN.
The Great Leader's Farrow Escape
From a Terrible DeatL-
The gatekeeper at the Wood
mere crossing an.aged man with
bent form, scant white hair and en
feebled walk ia known by all
train men simply as "Old John."
He was known as "Old John" 15
years ago, when he had charge of
a water tank at the Lake Shore
bridge across the Rouge river.
His duty was of the most per
functory kind, simply requiring
bim to keep the tank constantly
filled with water for the use of
the locomotives of passing trains.
He was not expected to remain on
duty later than four o'clock r. 3t.,
but such was his fear that some
thing might go wrong if he was
away that the train men could al
ways count on seeing "Old John,"
lantern in hand, standing at his
post of duty until after the Toledo
express, the last 'train lor the nighr,
had passed by. .
One night the express train was
late and only a short distance be
hind a freight, which the engineer
of the passenger train noticed pull
ing out oC "Wyandotte ahead of
him just.as he was rounding the
bond at Sibley's lime kiln. As
the freight was passing the tank
"Old John's" watchful e o noticed
a loosened rail clattering under tho
wheels of the moving cars, and as
the last wheel passed it was thrown
out of "position and rolled down
the embankment. The night was
dark as pitch. "Old John" was all
alone, and to get the rail back up
the bank and fastened in its place
would be a physical impossibility.
The noise of the approaching ex
press, running at :i high rate of
speed to make up for lost time,
sounded nearer and nearer, and
''Old John," grasping his lantern,
sped down the track to signal it to
stop, and if possible avert a ter
rible disaster. The engineer noti
ced the waving light, signaled for
brakes, and-succeeded in bringing
the locomotive to a stand still
within three feet of the break in
the track. Had the warning come
one jnjnute latcr"the whole train
witli 150 passengers would have
plunged into the Rouge.
No accident occurred, no lives
were lost, and the sleeping passen
gers continued their journey b
Detroit without . realizing' -that :i
vigilant eye and ready intelligence
had saved them from frightful de
struction on a margin of less than
a minute, "unconscious that such a
man as "Old John," whoso pride
of responsibility would not let him
leave the tank until after the last
train had passed, had any exist
ence, much less any claim upon
their remembrance and gratitude.
No lives were lost, no limbs were
broken, and not the slightest ink
ling of the "close call" reached the
public through the newspapers.
And. yet if it had not bcen-for the
old gray-headed tank-keeper the
history of this country might read
somewhat dfierent than it does, for
reposing m a berth of one of the
sleeping cars was Samuel J. Til-
den, afterward the candidate of
the Democratic party for the presi
dency of the United States. Mr.
Tilden was on his way to Lake
Superior to look after his mining
interests there. Detroit Tribune.

little of polite literature and the'
sciences, you know, that it really
is quite a hardship for me to asso

Chicago, June 27. The follow
ing is published here: This is
perhaps a good time for the secret
history of the campaign. The
whole Blaine programme in the
convention was planned before the
convention began. There was a
hitch in California, and this hitch
was one of the causes of the break
down of tho whole scheme- It
was intended that Blaine's name
should not be heard until the ex
hausted convention turndd to him
as a -last resort. California spoiled
this by forcing the Blaine issue
before the delegates from the first,
and by its officious loyalty knock
ed over the whole elaborate card
castle which Eikins had construct
ed. It was after the California
movement was seen to be a serious
and persistent menace that a mes
sage AUJS received in Chicago
which'laid down the line of .the
Blaine campaign, whichtheBIaine
managers havo followed. The
message was from Blaine himself,
and from one who knew its import,
it is learned that Blaine said he
would accept the nomination if it
were tendered after the complete
and manifest failure d nominate
'any other candidates. 1And if the
other candidates joined in tho re
quest. To produce both of these
results Llkins and his lieutenants
labored diligently.
It violates no confidence now to
state that instead, as' tVas publicly
announced, of having 42 votes for
Blaine, there were more than 500
Saturday afternoon. All the plans
were laid to make Blaine the
choice, and but one thing and one
thing alone was wanting, and that
was John Sherman's cqnsentto join
in a call on Blaine to run. Tt was
even said that his consent had
been- gained, and thaf everything
was fixed: The ticket" wa to bo
Blaine and Harrison. When Siier
man finally determined that lie
would not.go into the Schcmr, i-vcn
lor a .cabinet position anri great
patrpnagej'the Blaine camp was,
for a time,-in great confusion, but
finally a new plan took shape
Sherman had killed Blaine, and
Blainets friends would kill Sher
man. Harrison was the weapon
used.
' 0" Sundav night ''the Sherman
men, believing tlio'Blaine scheme
otF, Nattered themselves witli the
idea that they 'had a' chance for
their man. But Sherman had lost
the game before midnight, and
ycsterday.morning he had as clear
an idea ot tne situation as any one
could have. It was explained to
nun, but he would not move, ana
so Harrison was named, and the
day's work was done.

Causes of Eheumatism.
With respect to tho causation of
rneumatism, nine is aciuauy
known. It is commonly attrib
uted to cold, damp, or other atmos
pheric influences. That the agen
cies assigned are alone incapable of
producing the disease in question
is generally accepted. A morbid
peculiarity ol the constitution, a
special predisposition, seems re
quisite to its development. When
this susceptibility to the disease
exists, then exposure to cold and
a variety of other conditions, gen
eral and special, doubtless act as
exciting causes. Any impairment
of the general health from defec
tive nutrition increases the liabil
ity to a rheumatic attack. There
arc certain diseases during, or
after, which tho affection under
consideration is exceptionally
prone to occcur; prominent among
those alluded to are dysentery, scar
let fever and erysipelas. A var
iety of other affections, such as
scrofula, consumption and cancer,
often precede rheumatism, and a
connection octween them is rec
ognized. Boston Journal of
tfcaWt.
He was talking to a Kentucky
audience on the subject of the tar

"Thank 3-011, don't care if I do,'
and the lecturer had to stand treat
