A FOILED ROBBERY. ? was telegraph operator at Essex, on the R and S. railroad, on the eight of the fourteenth of Decem ber, 1888. There had jnst been an unusually heavy snowstorm in the mountains about 200 miles west of Essex, making a virtual blockade of the road. No western freight or passenger train had been through foi 13 hours, and freights from the east had been held at principal points to prevent blocking the sid ings at way stations and so hinder restoring regular traffic when the snow blockade should be broken. The E. and S. was a single track road through this part of the state. The storm had reached us, but not more than three inches of snow had fallen around Essex. It was still snowing lightly at 1 o'clock in the -morning when the thrilling inci dents of that night commenced. I was alone in the station and had been so for some hours. The usual loiterers of the village had left early because of the storm. At half past '12.the night mail train, drew up. I sanded tho telegraphic orders, as usual, to the engineer and conductor -? copy to each-and, as the rule was, they read them aloud to me. I well remember Copductor Wilson's tone of surprised interest as he read : "Proceed to Winslow and await orders." Winslow was 48 miles up the road. Usually the mail train passed from jfour to eight freights in that run, and the orders always specified the siding where train numbered so and-so was to be met Wilson knew of the blockade in the mountains, so he expressed no .astonishment at his orders, but sim ply said, "Unusually clear sailing for us tonight, Brin ton, isn't it?" "Perhaps you won't find it so dear sailing after you reach Carl ton," ? hurriedly answered as I ran to the mail car, threw in the mail bag and picked up the bag which had been tossed from the train to the platform. As I returned to the office the en gine bell sounded and the train pull fid out I immediately, as was my duty, telegraphed to Jones Siding, the next office, ten miles above, "Twenty-two left west at 12:31." Jones was the first siding above Essex, and the only buildings thero were an uncovered platform and a signal tower. The whole distance from Essex to Carlton was a wild, sparsely inhabited country, billy, with denso woods. There were two operators station ed there-one fer tho day and tho other for tho night. Their names were Jim Evans and Ned Aldrich. They lived in thc signal tower, do I ing their own cooking and gettirg their supplies by tho trains, but being telegraph operators they were less lonely than any other young men in their isolated position would he, for they were kept posted in the news of tho country ami tue gossip of the line. I was well acquainted with tho elid?s of both of them. For, strange as it may seem to most people, each operator has some peculiarity in handling his telegraph instrument that reveals his identity to another operator at all familiar with his messages, or at least to ono who is accustomed to read by sound and is fluick to notice littlo tin::These individualities are as markeri toar; expert as tbo tones of tho voice or tho sound of fo?tfalb are to most people. Jim Evans was at tho in strument at Jones Siding when I eent the message about the n train. I could have sworn to it, I recognized his click in response my signal. The mail was due at Jones Sid at about 1 o'clock. It made o: about 20 miles an hour. It could seen approaching tho tower for s eral minutes before it passed. . was the duty of the operator th to inform me of tho arrival of e? train, in order that I might kn whether the track was clear bef< letting the next train west pass '. sex. As 1 o'clock arrived and 1 i heard nothing about the mail fr< Jones, and had heard from the s rion below that the paymaster's < would soon be due at Essex, I call np Jones Siding and asked, "Wh( is the mail?" "It is just approaching the tow? Will he by in a minute, " came t answer, natural enough in s ?bst an* but alarming in that it was in n ther Jim Evans' nor Ned Aldric! sending. I was just on the point of askic "Who are you?" but restrained n hand a moment, when word cai again from there, "She has jv gone by." This was the same ope ator. The thought flashed through n mind: "I know that click. Whe does it belong? And what is th operatoi doing at Jones?" After a deal of conjuring with n wits I remembered that the la messages from Jones Siding we in the unmistakable style of ti night operator at Martinsville, i out cf the way station in the mid of the mountains in the blockad? section of the road. I admit I felt queer. I began imagine all sorts of things-that tl wires were playing me false, or th; there was rascality going on ? Jones Siding. "I must stop it, " I said to mysel "or find out the culprit. But hist must lind what the scheme is." I called up Jones Siding and askec "How is the weather up there?" "Snowing,'" came tho repl] "Where is Chester's car?" was adc ed significantly. Chester was the paymaster. Wit that inquiry it dawned upon m what the plan was. It was to wrec and rob the paymaster's car. It was well known to all on th line that the paymaster was due a Carlton on the morning of the 15tl of each month, to start west ove the next section to pay tho hands It was also well known that Cheste made the run from tho central ofiSc to Carlton the night before the 15tl in his handsomely equipped privat car. The paymaster's car was duo a my station in about ten minutes. plan of aerier, was quickly foi med I set the red signal to hold the car though the track ahead was clear I then grounded my instrument breaking connections to the wes and called up the main office. I could thus make inquiries of tin central office without my message.' being heard at Jones Siding. Ordi narily, of course, a message sen over a line is heard at all stations Every instrument connected wit! the line clicks out the same words. "Where is the night operator re cently stationed at Martinsville?" ] was now able to ask the main office "I don't know. Why?" was click ed in return. "I think he is up to mischief. Hunt up his recent record, quick. Particulars later," I feverishly an swered. "O. K.," came back. Then there was a wait I impa tiently looked at my watch. Five minutes went by, then seven, then nine minutes. I was listening in tently for the whistle of the pay master's car. At the same moment came my call on the wire and the shrill whistle I was expecting. This was the message I rapidly jotted down on my pad as the paymaster's oar came rattling up the line and stopped before the station: "James Houston appointed night operator at Martinsville Nov. 6. Recom mended by commercial college. Dis charged for neglect Bec. 10." I returned the usual "O. K," re stored connections with the west and started for the platform to see the engineer of Mr. Chester's car, when I was recalled to my instru ment by the most emphatic signals from Jones Siding. "Where in thunder have ycu been for the last ten minutes?" was the impudent message. "Noneof your business," 1 replied as impudently as he. "Has Chester got along yet?" Jones Siding then asked me. .''Yes, he is here taking water and orders. " "What orders?" ''I will let you know in time." J then broke connections with Jone's and went out on tho platform. "Hello, Brinton! What's the mat ter ahead?" greeted tiie engineer. "There's some fine work ahead, I imagine,"! said. "I must wake Mr. Chester up and tell him about it." "You'd better bo sure it is serious before you disturb him. Ho wants his full eight's sleep," tho engineer cautioned. "I'll risk its seriousness," I an swered as i mounted tho rear steps. Tho rear door was locked, but I rattled and thumped ii until I had tho threo occupants-Mr. Chester and his two assistants -out of their berths with-revolvers in band. 1 soon reassured thom, and they lei tho engineer and mo into the rai-. I rapidly told my suspicions aud how they wero supported. Mr. Chester airreed with me that the matter was suspicious ana tnai ixioi might be danger ahead. Various plans of circumventin the robber or robbers werediseussc -that of sending a message by roundabout circuit to Winslov whither tho mail train was goinj and getting it to return to Joni Siding with some armed men, an holding the pay car, so that the both should arrive at the same tim? But that required too much delay. It was again suggested that tl; paymaster go no farther befoi daylight, but that would only alio1 the rascals to escape and to pla some more diabolical scheme c robbery. Besides, the fate of th two faithful operators at Jone hung in the balance. They migh be bound and gagged, and we shoul hasten to relieve them, or the might be murdered, and we shoul strive to entrap their murderers. We all were convinced that ther was a gang of robbers. No one nm would attempt to hold up the pay master's car. It was finally decide to go ahead with the car, approad the Siding very cautiously and sho\ fight if molested. I was asked t go, as I had a revolver and had a) ready a prominent part in the affair. "Hadn't you better leave you money here," I said to Mr. Chester "so that if we should be beaten the; will fail to get their booty?" "Oh, no," Mr. Chester promptly decided. "If it should be lost here that would put you in a pretty ba< hole. And, then, we are acting oni on suspicion, rather slimly founded Suppose it should prove a falst alarm and I had to return for thi money. My delay would be so great that the true story would be sure t< como out, and none of us woulc hear the last of it. No, wo can gc ahead, and if we find it too hot foi us wo con retreat rapidly down tin track." Go ahead it was, then. I was ready. 1 wired to the main office "An attack on paymaster's cartear ed at Jones Siding. Will close office and go with Mr. Chester. Leave 1:20." I then established connection and called Jones, wiring these words: "Slight delay to engine of paymas ter's car. ?. E. now. Leave 1:20; due Siding about 1:40." "O. K." came back promptly. I jumped aboard the engine end o? the combination car, and we started at good speed. Tho lights were soon put out in the body of the car. When about two miles from the sig nal tower, we slowed down to about six miles an hour. We soon saw the red signal at the tower, but a white light at tho switch half a milo be low. "Look out for the switch," I said to tho engineer. We carno to a stand at tho switch, and the fireman dismounted. But, to our surprise, everything waa straight. We advanced cautiously, when the red signal was suddenly changed to white. "Blow your whistle, " said I to the engineer, "and make a momentary spurt, as if to run past." He did so, when the signal was again changed to red. The engineer reduced speed to a walking gait We crept up to the tower without meeting any obstruction and carno to a halt directly in front of it "Every man remain on the car at the peril of his life!" came a star tling shout from the dark doorway of the lower story ot the tower, "and throw out all the money, or I'll blow you, car and all, to pieces. There are dynamite cartridges on the track for 100 yards before, be hind and under you, and I can set them, all off with a touch of my fin ger." There was only one voice heard, And no form visible. How many there wore in the tower none of us knew. "Stick to your posts, " I whispered to the engineer and fireman, "and I will get down on this side and see what I can do." The sido I meant was farthest from tho tower. Quite a deep ditch ran along the track here, and just ahead a little bridge spanned a small ?tr earn. As I spoke I stepped off the engine behind the fireman and quickly made my way under tho bridge to the tower side of the track. I then cautiously ascended the rising ground, the snow acting as a car pet, and in little more than a min ute I was peering through a window in tho tower directly opposite the door. j I saw the forms of two men dim j ly outlined against the snow, one in I a sitting position, with his right hand extended as if grasping a bun die. 1 t nderstood what ho was doing. The electric current used in tele graphing is not suited to explodo blasting cartridges. The instrument used for that purposois a small box, by lin-ans of which, by a few rapid turns of a crank, a powerful spark is produced and transmitted by wires to the blasting charges. Tho sitting man in tho tower guarded the machine that could instantly blow the car to atoms. With my revolver 1 took steady aim at his right arm, but before I pulled the trigger liai sann? voie? called out to the people in the car: "Now, no trickery, or you will bo instantly blown up. My man will get tlial satchel and inspect its con tents while I keep guard over tho battery here." Tho standing man went out tho door and move ] from my lino of vision. Instantly 1 fired at tho t ii ting luau's arm, and a tremendous yell showed that my aim had been go&d. Tho other man rushed back to tho tower, whoa I called, "Hold up your hands, or you are a dead man!" At the same instant there was a slight disturbance in the upper room that 1 did not understand, and this was followed by the rapid move ment of the car up the track. Mr. Chester and his two assistants arrpeared at this moment at the door, but I could not recognize them. I first thom ht I had raised a hornets' nest, bu', with drawn re volvers they demanded tho surren der of the two cowed men and dis armed them before I had done any more shooting. After finding a ropo we bound the rascals and proceeded to make an investigation. First, the battery was disconnected, and one of the clerks collected the dynamite car tridges from the track and put them in a safe place. Ned Aldrich and Jim Evans were found in the upper room, hound and gagged, hut uninjured. Their story may be briefly told. A wagon had driven up to the tower about midnight. Two men enteied the room, talked pleasantly for a few minutes and then, draw ing revolvers, made the operators surrender and bound and gagged them. When the pay car was ap proaching, Ned and Jim guessed what was intended, and Jim suc ceeded in turning the signal bar with his feet, displaying the white light as we approached, hoping we should run by. One robber ran up and turned the signal back. After my shot, the effect of which Ned dimly saw by way of the stairs, the signal was again changed, and the car moved out of danger. Chester and his clerks jumped from the car as it moved, fearing to be blown to pieces, not knowing what I had dono, but they quickly took courage of their desperate sit uation to cover the robbers with their revolvers. The robbers in duo course were sentenced to ten years' imprison ment. The man whose arm I had shot turned out to be the discharged Martinsville operator. He lost his arm from tho wound. After things quieted down I tele graphed from Jones Siding an ac count of the attempted robbery to the central office and returned be fore morning to Essex by a passing train. Mr. Chester was profuse in his thanks to mo and must have made much of my part in the night's events in his reports to headquar ters, for at midnight on Christmas eve my instrument clicked out this message in the unmistakable send ing of the central office operator: "For bravery and skill in saving paymaster's car you are appointed assistant electrician: salary, $1,800.

One of these is to the effect that on a dark winter night in 1882 his majesty was walking along one of the quays surrounding the Pi raeus, when he was heard by a sol dier on guard. "Who goes there?" The king hesitated, being ui?willing to reveal his identity, and turning abruptly he walked rapidly away. The soldier fired, slightly grazing his sovereign's shoulder. The next day the sentry was greatly surprised to receive an invitation to the pal ace. Complimenting him on his ex cellent aim and attention to duty, the king with his own hand pinned on the astonished soldier's coat the Order of the Red emptor.-Pearson's Wwekly. sunday Trading In the Pant. It may safely be asserted that from the timo of the Conqueror (10CG 1087) Sunday trading received much attention. In early ages mar kets and fairs were beldon Sundays, and frequently in the churchyards. In 1305 the inhabitants of Cocker mouth presented a petition to par liament, as their market was fast declining through tho inhabitants of Crosthwaite dealing in corn, flour, beans, flesh, fish, at their church on Sundays, and that thereby they were unable to pay their tolls to the king (Edward I). An order was is sued for closing the church market at Crosthwaite. At Bradford, Yorkshire, during tho samo reign, tho markot was hold on a Sunday.doubtless in tho church yard. Tho toll yielded ?3 per annum. In 1285 a.statute was passed enact ing that henceforth neither fairs nor markets bo held in churchyards, for thc honor of tho church. Ju 1312 a marker was granted to tlie town of Sedgefield, Durham, to bo held on a Frida}*, but was soon changed to Sm flay. In 1307 tho archbishopsof Canter bury and York delivered charges di-, reefing, among other things, that "wo firmly forbid any one t< > a market in the churches, the porch es and tho cemeteries thereunto be longing or other holy places on the Lord's day or other holy festivals." -Noies end Queries.

"Tho only plant of the kind I ever knew of," said Colonel Calliper, "was one that was set up some years ago in Storkville Center, Vt There was a awauip about two or three n'iles north of the town that bred mosquitoes at least as large aa any that ever were, and in summer when the wind was right they would come down on us* in swaims, and they certainly did give us a good deal of trouble. When the wind was blowing tho other way and blowing strong, they never used to bother us at all, and this suggested the idea of putting up a plant to keep a wind blowing in that direc tion all the time, and such a plant was finally set up. There was some opposition to it at first-a good deal, in fact-but when it was finally in operation it worked so perfectly that the sentiment in favor of it be came practically unanimous. "Between the town and the swamp and pretty well up toward the swamp we set up a long line of poles right across the country, extending on either sido out beyond the line of the town, and on these poles there was carried, at a height of about 12 feet from the ground, a perforated pipe with the perforations toward the swamp, and that's all there was to it but the power, and one steam engine at the ce:iter of the line sup plied that, furnishing compressed air which was forced into the dis tributing pipe at various places along tho line and out through all the perforations in front. It was like a long sprinkler, except that it didn't sprinkle. It supplied air, and all these jets of air, expanding, unit ed at a little distance in front of the perforations, and, still expanding, but yet retaining am ?ile strength, they made a continuous and suffi ciently vigorous blast reaching from tho ground to a height higher than mosquitoes fly - a wall of wind against which mosquitoes could make no headway. Ono man could operate this whole plant easily. "Of course, we made some mis takes at first, including one that might have been expected in the in terest of economy. . In those days we never used to light our street lamps on moonlight nights-that is, on nights that were moonlight ac cording to the calendar. They might be the cloudiest, blackest nights that ever were, but if it was moon light officially we didn't light up. We made a similar mistake at first in operating the wind plant. When the wind was in the right quarter to blow the mosquitoes away and thcro was plenty of it, we used to save fuel and let the wind plant lio idle, but after the wind had changed once or twice in the night we gave up the economy idea and ran the plant regularly every night without regard to the weather from the be ginning to the end of the season. I think our season there was a little shorter than it is about here. We used to start the wind plant June 1 and shut down Sept 30. "But the greatest difficulty we ever had over the plant was when a town just to the south of us sued us on account of it, claiming large damages from the operation of it, and getting out a temporary injunc tion restraining us from the use of it During that period of suspension we suffered from the mosquitoes, as we had done before the inaugura tion of the plant, these sufferings being magnified in our minds no doubt by the freedom from them which we had for some time en joyed. "This town that sued us claimed that they had got all our mosqui toes. They said that of the original current of mosquitoes from the swamp the part that under ordinary circumstances would have come to Storkville Center and staid there had not been permanently held back by our wind plant, but only deflect ed around its wings, and that the mosquitoes thus deflected had re united below Storkvillo Center and gone on to them, and that so thn'T got their own and ours, too, and they asked for a permanent injunc tion and damages. "Storkville Center won, but for all that the wind plant finally fell into disuse. I don't know just how this came about. I supposo they didn't keep it in order, and it didn't work su perfectly, and then there were new peuple ruining up all the time and inure ur less opposition fruin them, and the others didn't take so much interest in it as they did at first, and finally they stopped using it altogether, and tho whole plant went, to decay. I was out that way toward tho swamp the last time I was in Storkville Center, and there wasn't so much as a single post of it left"- New York Sun. Tho First Oimrrcl.
