PO U G B ffiE E P S IE SE M I-W E E K L Y E A G L E . JA N U A R Y 2, 1 8 8 9 . 14 Accidents on tlie Bridge. There were tw© slight accidents on the bridge railway again ©n Wednesday, says the Times, one of which threatened for an instant to prove a repetition of the OollisioB of Monday night, w h en seTeral persons were injured. In the morning a draw-bar in one of the cars of a train at the New lo r k end ®f - the bridge broke when the engine started to switch the train’across to the out track, and delayed traffic about fifteen minutes. Again, in the evening a loaded train started to pull out of the New York station, when it was discovered that a coupling pin had broken and the tram was uncoupled. Concerning last Monday’s collision, Superintendent Martin, who had keen signal conductor McWilliams’ train passed it. li is also clear that conductor Scofield was swinging his red light according t© regu lations when he found that he was being delayed. He says ho continued to swing it up to the instant of the collisioa, but Me Williams says that the light . was set down, er stood still for an instant, when he, supposing that the train ahead had been got under way, slacked upon the brakes, which h^d been set hard. The lantern began swinging instantly , again, and he reset the brak'es and made every effort to stop his train. He was trying to set the hand brake up another cog when the trains came together.” ‘•But wnat caused the delay of the train in the station ?” “Nothing but discharging the passen gers They were rather slow about get ting out, and there was net much lime be tween the trains. We were running un der a headway of 90 seconds. ’ The trains leave a station a minute and a half apart, but when one of them runs into a station it is held about 45 seconds t© discharge its passengers and. u. m 5 to 10 seconds in getting under way oa the switch, ieav ng only from 85 to 40' seconds between the rear end of that train and the forward end of th© incoming train. The incoming train lets go the cable off the grade in order to gain suffici ent impetus to carry it over the up grade t© the station platform on schedule time, and is therefore running at a higher rate of speed at that point, but for only two or three train lengths. We switch in the neighborhood of 6C0 trains in each of these eiaiioas every day, as many as any railroad in New York would switch in a month. “This accident was one of those unex pected things that cannot be provided against in advance. The men are as re liable aud faithful as any that can be found, and would do* anything to avert a catastrophe. Penalties in this case would do no good. I could only caution the men and prompt them to perpetual vigi lence. Mrs. P u llm a n ’s N e w F a c e . A very unusual surgical| operation has just been successfully performed in New York city, says the Star, by the faculty ©f the Mount Sinai Hospital. Bom© time ago Mrs. A. B. Pullm an, a resident of Chicago, noted the appearance of what is known as a scarlet-hued pimple upon her right cheek. It rapidly increased in size, and despite all that medical skill could do, spread all over the face of the unfortunare lady, eating up skin, flesh and cartilage in its progress. Last September her brother in-law. Dr W. F. Fluhrer, of No. 83 West Thirty- third street, advised her to go to the Mount Binai Hospital. This she did. Drs. Fluhrer, Ladenski, Lilianthall and Nichols diagnosed the case as “lu pus,” a rare and malignant form of tuber culous disease. After placing the patient under the influence of ether, they cut away the diseased parts. When the ope ration was eompleled there was scarcely any flesh lef;^ on the front of the face. The patient rapidly recovered from the shock and within two months she was practically free from pain and the wounds had healed. The treatment did not end here, how ever. The surgeons were of the opinion that something ought to be done to parti ally efface the marks of the operation.' They accordingly transplanted small pieces of skin from the patient’s neck and grafted them on her cheeks and foiehead. The result proved entirely successful. An artificial nose will be provided for Mrs. Fnllmau, but the surgeons propose giving her a new lip by transplantiug a narrow piece of flesh aud thus forming a new upper lip. It remains to be proved whether this can be successfully accom plished.

The man who travels oa his looks makes very poor time. M em ories of F irst Love. The other evening Mr Bowser looked pale and weary, and I felt it my duty to ask if he was ill, and to place my hand on his forehead to.see If he had a fever. He wag reading, and he promptly growled “ M ia , Bowser, what particular object have you in pawing around after this fashion ? Do you expect another dollar ? ” “ Do n't you want me to caress you, Mr. Bowser ? ” “ I do n’t want you to act silly. We are too old for such nonsense.” “ And yet you once expressed the hope that we might never let an hour go by without a caress.” “ I did, eh ? I never expressed any such thing.” “ And you further said you could sit and hold my hand a whole lifetime and not be weary.” “ I never did—never I ” “ But I can prove it.” “ If you can I ’ll give you fifty dollars.” I went upstairs and got my notebook Up to the date of our marriage I preserved and filed all higJleUers, On our bridal tour I kept a memorandum book. Mother advised it, and I have found it to be a powerful lever on occasions when Mr, Bowser has been inclined to “ act up ” When I came down with the book he roared o u t: “ ©ot that old book out again, have you ! That’s no evidence 1 T brand the contents as a base forgery ! ” But they are facts for all that. L e t’s see. Here we start. After the ceremony was over you said to mother : “ Statement I.—T will call you by the sacred name of mother. You have given me your-only daughter, f will be a true and loving husband to her. 1 will guard her as I do my life. I will never, so help me Heaven, speak one unkind word to her.’ ” ‘There it Is, Mr. Bowser, and how you have kept that promise I” “Never said a thing of the sort—never I 1 don’t remember your mother being there. You probably wrote that down this very “ We were married at 7 a. m , Mr. Bow ser, and at 8:15 we took the train for Chi cago. You held my hand all the way to the depot.” “ Mrs. Bowser, are you crassy ! Do you want to make out that I was a born idiot?” . “ Well, here is the proof “Statement II.—‘As we got into the hack Mr. Bowser had tears in his eyes He took my hand and called me his angel, and I had to wipe my nose left handed all the way to the depot. I think the driver saw him, for I heard him chuckling and saying something about you’d get over it in about a year.’ “ There it is, Mr, Bowser, in black and white. This is the very paw you held for two miles 1” “I deny It in toto ! Mrs. Bowser. I ’ve got to sit down, and have a sharp talk with you \ “ The other night,” I continued, “ you were about to put your arm around me as we stood in the hall, but on second thought you concluded not to.” “ I am BO hand to spoon, Mrs. Bowser never was. Such things look silly in old married people.” “ But you hugged me for two hundred and eighty miles.” “ W h a t?” From Detroit to Chicago, Mr. Bowser, on that same bridal tour.” “ You must be crazy I” “ Well, here’s the proof : “ Statement III.—-Left Detroit at 8 40. Mr, Bowser put his arm around me at once, and though tne passengers winked and guyed us for a bridal couple, he said he did n’t care a copper. Hugged me all the way to Chicago. Said he wished the ride would last a year. Said that Heaven bad sent me to him. I write this in room 44, Tremont House, while Mr. Bowser is down to look after the t|unk.” “ That—that’s there, fs it ?” gasped Mr. Bowser, ‘Of course it Is.” “And I had my arm around you all day, giving myself dead away ?” “ You did.’. “I will never believe it—never. I own up to being a little soft in my bachelor days, but I was no hayseed. You are drifting to a dangerous point, Mrs. Bow ser, and you should pause ere it is too late !” “I like to go over the old times once in a while and see how you have changed.” “Changed ? Changed ! That’s it I If a husband isn’t making a fool of himself all the time his wife argues that he is grow ing cold and dissatisfied. How have I changed !” “You never call nae your Birdie any “Oh I I don’t. I suppose you have got proof that I used to call you Birdie? when your front name is Sarah ?” “I have, sir 1 Listen while I read ; “Statement lY .—Mr. Bowser bought some gum drops of the train boy to feed his Birdie, as he said, but I never liked them. He called me Birdie from ‘that to Chicago and back, said it meant more to him than the name Angel i” “ Mrs. Bowser!” he shouted, as he jumped up, “is my presence desired in ihis house ?” “Of course it is.” “ ihen do not plan to drive me out of it. I see now how wives have driven hus bands to desperation.” “ Sit down, Mr. Bowser, We are simply living over old times for a brief while- I had to tease you to kiss me the other night.” “Yes, and I suppose you’ve got some- thiag written down about that, haven’t you? I na as loving a disposition as the next man, but how it does look to see a married couple billing and cooing like a couple of young idiots.” ■ “ And yet you once longed to kiss me forever.” “I never, never did ! Don’t drive me to the wall, Mrs Bowser 1” “I won’t, but I want to read a para graph t© you. Here it is : “dTATEMERT V —Third day of our tour. I am very, very happy. Mr Bowser has jast khsed me on the chin, cheeks, eyes and ears, and says he’d like to keep OB kissing forever. He sap he can hardly help biting me on the chin. It was a minute before he could speak, and the bald spot en his head was as red as paint. He finally choked down his feelings sufficiently to shout: “I brand that as pure malice and a forg ery I Mrs. Bowser, you must lake that back and apologize to me 1” “ How can I ? I read it just as it was written, and I can recall the circumstance. Don’t you know, we had just returned from ----- ?” “ Never! We never returned! Noth ing of the sort ever happened ! I’d deny it OB my dying bed I” “Yau’Il next declare that you cried in ladianapellB when I hurt my flager, and that you bound it up in a handkerchief wet with yonr tears.” “Declare! Of course I ’ll declare ! I’ll swear oa forty Bibles that I never did !” With that he rushed up stairs, but I fol lowed him to the landing and read : “ S tatem e n t VI.—Accidenta’ly pinch ed my finger in the door. Mr. Bowser said it was hia fault, and the first I knew he was weeping. After wiping his ey<?8 on his handkerchief he proceeded to do up my finger in the same. He has a very tender heart.” I knew Mr. Bowser was listening over the banister, and so maliciously added ; <> -------- And, with a little practice, will no douibt become the champion weepest of the world.” He Uttered a sn o r t and a g r o w l and w e n t off to bed w ith o u t a w o r d , b u t next morning he put in an extra ten minutes frolickins with the baby, and when ready to go he said to m e ; “ B y the way, darling, you’d better go down and pick you out a sealskin sack to day.
