The road run Hotoet bituminous coal the Stat*, and did a fine coal The New York Central Rail- under the management of ittiond, owned a controlling hi the stock, and when new >a, freight cart and other equip* ttt were placed on the Erie aud >urg Road, they soon found at Buffalo or Albany far beyond jffc* t*»ach of the road for which they ware originally purchased. This rapid depletion reduced the rolling stock of the Erie and Pittsburg to small pro­ portions, and the astute Scott ut hlna- *#H to work to find a way out of the dilemma. He found that a small quantity of stock allowed, by the char* ter had never been issued, and at the next regular stockholders' meeting President Scott's friends were present in force and every share of stock op­ posed to the New York Central domin­ ation was present. The New York Central representative was also on hand with the proxies of stock owned by that company. A resolution was introduced and passed, authorizing the issue of the additional stock. The Central people were, to their #uprise, found In the minority. Urgent tele­ grams were sent to Dean Richmond informing him of the situation. Every share of stock that could be found, beg­ ged or borrowed about Buffalo was se­ cured and an engiue started at lightn­ ing speed for Erie. In the meantime the representative of the Central was endeavsring to secure adjournment or postponement, but all in vain. Long before tba engine arrived at Erie the resolution had been rushed through, the stock issued, and John F. Tracy, (President of the Chicago and Rock Island Road, and a brother-in-law of Scott, took every share of the new stock, banding over his check for the amount. Thus in a few minutes the Toad passed from the hands of Dean Richmond to its original owners, and the road waa soon put in a good con­ dition. Dean Richmond said: "Well, it's the first time I ever heard of a man steal­ ing a railroad. I don't mind the loss of the road much, but to be beaten by *a d--d little Pennsylvania Dutchman is enough to make any man swear." Great Attraotlom. GOLDING WAUCONDA, ILL.

Wauconda III., Hay 20th, 188S. GOLDING BROTHERS. A ' an Accomplished Purp. William H. Tuttle, of New Haven, baa a wonderful trick dog named Rover. The dog is 11 months otd, and is said to bo the beat trained dog in the coun­ try. It is a cocker spaniel, and was aired by a valuable doe that is owned in Bridgeport. Rover's master places a panny and a quarter on the floor and aaya: "Rover, bring me the largest piece ot money." The dog quickly picks up the penny and brings it to his master. Mr. Tuttle then hides the penny and says, "Rover, the penny Is in a dark place, but If you will find it I will buy yea some meat with it." Ro­ ver hunts around for seme time and finds the penny, "Now show us how they pray in Hartford." Rover jumps on a chair, folds his paws on the back and assumes a devotional Utitude, but keeps his eyes open, looking around the room. "Now show us how you pray." Rover puts his bead between / his paw8,and although his master tries to make him remove it by striking liim on the back with a board, he will not stir until be hears the word "amen," when be jumps over the chair back and walks off on his hind legs. Mr, Tuttle has several blocks on which he has printed the words "police," "salvation army,* "reporter," etc. He places them on the floor and saya: "Rover, who goes to sleep on the street corners?"1 Rover pick3 up the word "police." "Who are the best detectives in the country?" The dog trots up with the block on wLich the word "reporter" |i printed. "What is It that makes you want to commit suicide,when you hear it ?" "Salvation Army," says Rover, Theae are but a few of the fifty or more trtcka that this intelligent dog has learned. He will carry bundles from his master's store to bis residence and each morning after his master fin> isbes reading the paper which is deliv­ ered at the store, Rover takes it in bis mouth aad carries it home for Mr. Tut tie's mother to read. Rover's color is a beautiful seal brown and his weight Is about fifty pounds. Two kittens be longing to Mr. Tuttle's mother are Rover's special pets, and he will not lie down for his night's slumber until he finds the kittens, which he will car­ ry In his mouth to his bed, and then, nestling them between his forelegs, will lie contentedly dreaming of dog beavan .---Hartford, Timet.
