About thirty tramps boarded a northbound freight train on the Evansville & Terre Haute railroad about 10 o’clock Wednesday night, and when ordered off by the conductor gave him to understand that it would take a larger force than lie could command to “fire” them. Being unable to rid the train of them the conductor telegraphed to Princeton authorities for assistance. On their arrival at Princeton a pitched battle occurred between the tramps on one side and the railroad crew and the city marshal and deputies on the other. Several on both sides received severe injuries, but none fatal. As the train pulled out from Princeton the tramps again attempted to board it, whenoueof their number fell under the wheels, and his body was ground to pieces. On his person was a card issued by M. T. Williams to C. E. Trestor, of Paducah, Ivy., showing him to be a member of the cigarmakers’ union, and it is supposed he is the owner of the card. At the death of one of their members the tramps quit the train, and are camping in the woods near by. lOST HIS ROCKS AND SOCKS. Not long since a car-works employe of Jeffersonville drew his salary, paid his tobacco and beer bill, and then divided the balance and hid it in his socks. In the meantime his wife, who. sows for the government, drew her pay and purchased her husband a new pair of socks and threw the old pair containing his money into the stove, and four $5 bills were cremated.

ON THE VERGE OF DEATH. Boston Globe. There was great excitement at Newell’s ranch. Miss Rose Newell was coming out from the East to visit her father, and the employes of the ranch, with three exceptions, were on the tiptoe of expectancy. Those three exceptions were old Barton and his wife and James Lyal, or “Deacon Jim,’’ as he was more commonly called. The morning of the day on which Miss Rose was to arrive the cowboys, with the exception of “Deacon Jim,” spent two hours or more in making preparations for the event. “Deacon Jim” alone appeared in his ordinary everyday clothing. “Why don’t you fix up, deacon,” someone asked, “and dothehonorsof the occasion?” “I don’t propose to make a fool of myself,” Jim replied, “by parading before Miss Newell like a circus clown. I’m not so anxious to show off what little clothing I own and I guess she's seen better many a time.” “Humph! Have you fellows got an idea that Miss Newell is going to take any notice of you? It’s hardly likely that she’s going to come out' hero and get dazzled by some common cow-punchers with a lot of gaudy trappings. I ain’t fool enough to make a spectacle of myself, and give Miss Newell a chance to laugh at me, you bet!” When tho carriage bearing Miss Rose arrived at the ranch, the cowboy%, with the exception of the deacon, stood about the door, each one “with his best foot forward,” anxious to be seen by the young lady, and hopeful of making an impression on her heart. That night, when Jim came in from the plains, they gathered about him, intent on singing the praises of Rose’s loveliness. “I tell you, deacon,” Anson said, “you just ought to seen her, I never saw a woman so beautiful in all my life.” “I don’t doubt her beauty,” the deacon replied; “but what good .would it have done me to have seen her? She’s not going to care anything for us.” “Maybe you know about that,” saidAnsr.ii, “and maybe you don’t. If you had seen her smile when she saw us, you might think differently from what you do now.” “Yes, and she was looking right straight at me when she smiled!” cried Ab Johnson. “I noticed that." “Humph!” said Anson. “She was looking as straight at me as she could look.” “She wasn’t!” exclaimed Ab, angrily. “Hold on, now,' said Jim, It isn’t worth while for you to fight over that. I can easily believe that she’d ’a’ smiled, whichever one of you she was looking at, when she saw the clothes you had on. It was enough to make her smile, I’m sure.” Ab and Anson muttered something, then went away, and the subject was dropped. From that time on they viewed each other as rivals, and were never on good terras again. A month passed.

Miss Newell proved a very sensible young lady, and though she had grown up under the influences of the highest 'refinement, she adapted herself readily to her new surroundings. She treated her father’s employes with the kindest consideration, laughing and chatting with them with perfect freedom, little suspecting what stress they placed upon every word and every ripple of laughter that fell from tier lips. Anson and Ab both grew more sanguine and hopeful as the days i went by, and each in his own heart I came to feel assured that he was winning his way into Rose's love. Deacon Jim had continued on from the first in the even tenor of his way. He never thrust himself forward at all—never made any effort to gain admission to Rose’s society, but if anything, rather seemed .to avoid her. A change had come over the deacon r too. Always serious, he had become almost melancholy. f He liked to mope about alone or sit for -hours gazing thoughtfully into space. He was in love, though, he tried hard to conceal the fact from himself, and for all the world would not have admitted it to any one else. One morning, when the men were preparing to begin the work of the day, a dispute arose between Anson and Ab, and as it grew warmer and more bitter, the former said: ‘‘When I become a partner on this ranch, you’ll go, Ab. Johnson, as sure as shooting. I won’t have you here.”

“When you get to be a partner!” sneered Ab “When I get to be a partner, you’ll go, and don’t you forget it.” “You a partner!” Anson said, mockingly. “Why, Rose Newell

wouldn't have, you, if you were the last man on earth!” “My notion is you’ll both see that you are making fools of yourselves,” old Barton observed. “Miss Rose will never have either of you. If I had to name anybody on this ranch that she was most likely to marry I’d say it was Deacon Jim.” There was a universal roar of laughter at this last remark and everyone seemed to think it a great joke. “Why,” said Anson, “the deacon don’t stand a ghost of a show. He ain’t shined around her a bit, and they never take any notice of each other scarcely. You’r off, Barton — away off. Jim ain’t in it at all.” That day Rose rode with her father across the country and late in the afternoon was returning alone to the ranch. When within two miles of her destination she was aroused from a drowsy reverie by a rushing, surging noise that came suddenly up from behind her like the onsweep of a great storm. She listened an instant, glanced back and then uttered a cry full of terror. A little distance away she saw a great herd of cattle in full stampede sweeping down upon her in one mighty, irresistible mass. On over the level prairie the horse sped, and on-, on in the rear came the surging sea of horns. One mile was thus run and part of another, and the girl, bending lowover the horse’s neck, urged the animal to still greater speed, while a hope of escape came to her heart. But at that instant the horse stumbled and fell to its knees and she was thrown to the ground. The horse recovered its footing and sped away. She arose, looked about her in a' daze of wortder, saw the herd almost upon her, and in a hopeless despair attempted to run, but with a cry of pain she sank down helpless. She had sustained a 'sprain, and could not svipport her weight. She heard the cattle as they swept up nearer and nearer over the hard, dry sod. Another minute would bring them upon her. She shuddered and covered her face with her hands. Then she felt a pair of strong arms about her. She was lifted up and sat upon a horse’s back. A man sprang quickly in front of her to the saddle, and, planting his spurs in the animal’s side, swept away at full speed. There were a few minutes of uncertainty, a few minutes fraught with terror, alternating with hope and despair. Then it was over, and, amid a wild shout from the assembled cowboys, the horse halted at the ranche, while the herd swept on by but a few- yards away. It was Deacon Jim who had Saved Miss Newell’s life, and everybody agreed that he had performed a brave deed. Even Anson and Ab admitted that. Jim, however, considered his act of very little consequence, except for the result, and he did not like to hear it mentioned. The next morning Miss Rose sent for Jim, and, blushing and trembling, he went to her room. She, was lying on a couch, looking more beautiful than he had ever seen her look before. She thanked him profusely for her rescue, and showed not only by language, but but by her looks, how truly grateful she was

How the deacon ever came to say it no one could surmise, and even he could never account for such boldness and audacity. “Miss Newell,” he said, “to do } r ou a service is a glorious reward of* itself. To save your life, believe me, is a privilege worth living for.” Then, blushing at his own temerity, he arose to leave the room, but she hold out her hand to check him. Soon it became noised about that that the deacou and Miss Newell were to be married in a few days, and that the deacon was to become a half owner of the ranch. This information was not pleasant to Anson and Ab, but, bitter as it was, they had to swallow it. «T can tell you how it happened,” said old Barton. “She’s a girl of sense, and it is not what a man says or the way he looks that takes with her, but it’s the way he does. Jim won her by his actions, which appealed to her hearts while you chaps tried to win her by your dress. If it's clothes a girl wants to marry, she can beat taking you follows all hollow by going to a clothing store and buying a suit.” “Blamed if I don't believe she 1 could,” said Anson.
