Eennion of Marine Engineers.
The marine engineers of the city are niik-
irg preparations to hold a rousing reunion
of the members of the order on Near Year's
day, cn which occasion speeches will be
irade, together with the rsadlng of a brief
historical sketch of the order. It is believed
that there are some fifty marine engiasara
In tbn tmy, all of whom will meet on the
designated cey and indulge in social inter-
poiirte. The reunion will bs held a; the
hall of (f e engineers on Tremont street,
betwten Jisrket and Mechanic, and pwtn

The Oil Kid Well.
Tke oil mill artesian well is still flowing
sn niifbtii-factoty stream. The flow,.how-
ever, is coniinnoua and undimiui3h'.ng,
Ebowing that a water vein has bsea en-
constered. Contractor Byrnes is of the
opinion that the paucity of supply is at-
tributable to soma unaccountable accident
by which tbe strainer hag been torn, result-
ing in its beitig clogged with clay. He is
preparing a '-mailer strainer to be put
down inside of the present one. He thinks
the water supply, at the depth the piping
lias reached, is ample, requiring only to be
properly developed.
A Kew Trial Granted.
The case of J. J. Shannon vs. the Mdhu
mental lirotxa company of Bridgeport,
Conn., a suit for .f.VJ.OOO for false imprison- |
nient, wheiin a jury in the United States I
circuit court recently gave the plaintiff a '
verdict for HjOOO, was again argued before t
Jut'ge Sabin 5esterday on a motion by de-
iendpnt tor a new trial. The argument
upon the motion consumed the entire day,
and the case as originally presented to the
jury was practically recapitulated in everv
detail, in passing upon the motion Jmigb
Bfcb'.n look a vsry different view o£ the casa
from lhat taken by the jury a3 evidenced
by their verdict, and granted the motion
for a new iriai.
AnjtMcg But Agreeable.
The ^eatber'that Galveston is having at
prefect is aryU.icg but agreeable, and vary
effectually puts a damper upon the impetus
nod activiij to local trade generally iaci-
dent to tbe holiday season, Tbe raiu.waich
liaB continued for several days, hald on
yesterday with a renewed activity, and the
day closed without any perceptible evidence
fit en immediate clearing up of the truly
uninviting weather. Such was the day that
lew whose business didnot demand it cared
to venture from a comfortable and caser-
lul fireside, andthose whose business called
litem out of doors were well fortified w'tb
waterproof coverings. It was a slow, driz-
Elirg rain that met the pedestrian at evary
turn when a sidewalk awniug had to bafor-
saken in the course of travel, bai de-
spite this the near approach of
Christmas and its inevitable demands
upon >he ( Articular Santa Glaus of ovary
household, caused a brisk shopptru* aoi'jug

age of the uucrowded condition of these
stores to make a more satisfactory in os3-
ticne.fthe numerous supplies of fan-.;,11 ar-
ticles lhat tbi ) season annually forces upon
the cartel; and by way of digression it
maybe hem reaiarked that the st of

lieF, are quits up to the standard of former
J care, aij(i those who indulge the beautiful

A Galveston Brakeman Tells of the Hardships
of His Galling--Exposed to tlie Elements-
No Romanco in the Life.
While ihe wind was sweeping the rain
clown in stinging drops yesterday after-
roon a trakeman swung bimself to the
gronrd from the top of a box car as the
switch engine csme to a temporary halt.
The place was near Brick wharf 3lip, which
was in an extremely disagreeaDle condi-
tion, and the brakeman splashed the mud
tbout as he descended.
"You were never more correct in your
life," said he with a grimace, in answer to
a Sews reporter. ''It's not pieasaat on
top of thote bcx cars in such weather, I can
fell you. You're completely at the mercy
of the elements. Rain, sun, wind aud
sleet ail have to be takan as they
cone. There's no absolute re-
lief. You must attend to
year business in spite of all this, and to do
it you've got to be [continually braving
the weather. I've had considerable expa-
ilenc-e in this business. Have gons long
and short distances 011 both passenger aud
fieight trains, and at different rates of
speed. Have whirled along the banks of
riveis f.Kd ickes with the wind cutting with
lie keentess of a knife. Just imagine how
pjeasar.t it must be to be perched on top of
a box csr almost numb from cold! The
cleiier of the wheels mingles with the
bowling of the wind, and forms a dull re-
Jr»in io which you involuntarily keep
t'tco as the lumbering freight train is
whirled onward through mist, smoke and
sleet io lis destination. You have to
keep constantly on the alert to
t hey signals. You run along the top aud
turn en the brakes, and it 13 Very slippery

w ithout break or intermission, that is the
most frying in bail weather. There you are,
mr-filed up in oilskin garments, vaioly
striving to shut off the wee and cold, with a
thin coating of ice over all. The motion of
ihe ;rain but serves to iaoreaae the strength

wafer and air-proof garments. Very often
ihe fingers sre so stiff that they can scarcely
canage the brakes, but though paicful it's
got !o be done. I've only been speaking of
bad weather in this connection, but in the
best of weather it is a sorry life—nothing
but rough usage, discomfort, and vary
often death when an accident occurs. I've
beard occasionally of stories being written
toBM-ming the 'romance of the brakamaa's
life,' 11-.. but if there's any romance lusach
a life I'd like to know where it conies iu.
I'ra r ot disposed to be cynical, bat I'd like
to tske some of those writers with me on a
trip tuiitg howling cold weather, and if
they didn'o change their tunc-s about that
'romance' I'd be greatly astonished. Grim,

Nautical Notes.
The bad weather yesterday put a tempo-
rary quietus to all shipping movements
along the wharf front, and hardly any
business was done. Approaches to the
wharves were converted into slush by the
rain, which continued to pour down inces-
santly. What little traffic there was along
the wharf front was prosecuted under very
disagreeable circumstances. Several ves-
sels were discharging and loading, and be-
yond this matters were) pretty dull.
The British steamship Empress arrived
in port sesterday and took a b8rth at Brick
wharf outside ot the sleamshfp Fallocien.
She sailed from Liverpool on November 15,
and brings a cargo of genera! merchandise.
She is under command of Captain RIgden.

Ihe Merry War.
The Carlefon Opera company appeared
sgain last night at the Tremont in Strauss'
Merry War to an exceptionally good au-
dit m e con-idering the weather. The opera
bas before been presented here, but not in
tfce ihort ugbly artistia style in which it was
given last night by the Carleton company.
Tbe Merry War is not aa strong or as inter-
esfing an opera as Nation, nor does it
bring out as eflectually the strength of tho
fxcel.'ent company under Mr. Cirleton'^
maragemeat. It is, however, pleasing,
and bting rendered by several who
were in the original cast, was
Klven with that strict regard to detail that
brought cut prominently its most attractive
features. Tbe music is brisk, light and vi-
vacious, and the amusing incidents of tha
story were given with sucu appreciable ex-
cellence that several numbers were deserv-
ingly honored with an encore. The solo
music, though in the main simple, is qa'.to
melodious, permitting ot an effective treat-
ment, ot which th6 admirable singers of tbe
company made tbe be3t advantage. The
choruses were full, ringing aad effective,
proviDg the general discipline and
general capacity of the membars
wro make up that unbilled bat
very important factor of operatic
performances. Altogether the ope*a was
successfully produced and agreeably re-
ceived. A very Interesting interpolated
feature was a strlkiDg and beautiful ama-
zonian march, introduced by the female
poition of the chorus in the third act. The
evolutions in this marcn were given with
a true soldierly precision, aad tbe many
beautiful movements, marches aad counter-
marches. wheels and obliques were re-
ceived with rounds of applause. This
march was led by Miss Ciaca Wisdom,
a statuesque beauty, whose rare
charms, coupled !7itli a dignity
and grace of movement,won at once the ai-
miration of at least one element ot the au-
dience, though probably at the expense of
the envy of another. Mr. U.irlaton ia tho
lole of General Umbarto Spicola doss not
find In tbe part a score that briagi out to
the best advantage Ms remarkably rich and
retocant baritone. Mr. Jay Taylor in the
charscter of Marquis Sebastina was more
fivored Kith a pare iu whicn he displayed
his rich tenor to a good advantage, wiu-
'iinsf a liberal quota of applause.
Unfortunately Mr. Drew does not appear In
the cast of The Merrv War, but tbe comedy
last night did not suffer at tbe hands of Mr.
Herman Ehrend, whose dialect aud singing
were both excellent in the character of B al-
tbasar Groot. tbe tulip planter. 'The duet
between Mr. Ehrend and Mies Rfce ia the
third act was one of the gems of the ooera,
requiring three encores to satisfy the enthu-
siastic amdience. Miss Post as Vio-
leita had a better opportunity of
d'splaying her well cultivated voice,
which she used with much taate and intelli-
gence. She is also a good actress, but falls,
probably by a lack of personal magnetism,
to win her way to the audience as readily
bs Miss Fanny Rice, whose bewitching and
rougish manner, coupled with a rich, sweet
and sympathetic voice, makes her a priaie
favorite, which was attested by a hearty
round of applause accorded her last night
upon her entrance. The other roles
were well filled, and the rendition
of the Merry War but adds another
testimonial to the popularity of this truly
meritorious operatic organization. To-
night will be presented for the first time in
• his city ihe ereat Naw York success ot
Ermli i', saiii t > be the strongest attraction

AMEBICAH LABOR i'EDKRVTION
Holds Another Day's Session at Baltimore—
Various Resolutions and Discussions.
Baltimore, Md., December 15. — Tlie
morning session of the Americaa Federa-
tion of Labor was coasumed by the intro-
duction of almost innumerable resolutions
on various subjects. One was a protest
from the Cigarmakers' International union
sgainst the reduction of the internal re-
venue tax on tobacco. The Progressive
Tailcrb' union ask official Indorsement for
their label, and several trades wait con-
gress to lass a law that will preveot the
employment, of men enlisted in the army or
navy in any capacity where skilled labor
can bs used.
At, noon recess was taken.
The afternoon session waa consumed by
fhe report of the committee on constitution.
The effort to draw the line batweeu skilled
and unskilled labor was stigmatized as the
cause of the disintegration ot the Knights
of Labor, and the motion to strike out tns
words "labor organizations" where 1c oc-
curs ill the constitution and use the term
"trades unions" exclusively, was voted
down. A. motion to compel all organiza-
tions to obtain charters from tbe federation
or.e month before tbe meeting ot the con-
vention occasioned considerable debate aad
warm opposition from the representatives
of fhe International Typographical union,
who declared their old and Infl uential or-
ganization would under no circumstances
como to the federation for a charter, and it
was amended to read certificate ot mam-
bershlp fnslead of charter, and tlen
passed. The question of equitable repre-
sentation was the cause of lengthy di3cas-
tlcns. Somo delegates bald that ttia na-
tional and international bodies only were
entitled to a voice In the affairs of the fed
eration, while others were of the opinion
(hat the Central Labor unions aud the
local trades assemblies were the main stay
of the labor reform movement, and it was
voted that such organizations be allowed
repre entatlon according to their numerical
stiength, even though some trades may be
icdirectly represented by delegates from
their national body. The discussion as to
the plan of assessment for relief in casa of
a strike or lockout occupied the rest of the
eeseion.

A CHILD'S LIFE SAVED.
When six months old the left hand of our

having died when he was a little more than a
year old ct consumption (scrofula of course.)
lie could walk a little, but could not get up 11
he fell down, and could not move when in
bed, having no use of his hands. I immediate-

and it sells In all book stores for TH8EB

It is so popular that 50,000 copies have ij^en
so'd In tbe last six months!
The bonk contains 480 pages, and I11 form Is
what is known as a royal octavo, that Is (*o
give » better idea of its size), it is eight and
one-half Inches long, six Inches wide, and two
Inches thick. It Is printed on ertra heavy-
paper and is handsomeiv bound ia cloth, with
embossed covers and gUt-iettered back.
Asornits Thing (and this Is why we think
the booK worthy of our iue in this way), it Is
different from all other works of th« kind ever
published, and the difference Is such that it
makes it more valuable than any or all of
them I
This Is shown by tbe following points. In
which it stands alone and without an equal:
First It Teaches Those Who Have It
How to Tell What the Matter is When a.
Pebson Gets ftica I
All similar books tell what to do if you know
what tlie disease Is, Tola book toils you how
to detect the disease and then what to do for
It.
No Other Boo!: Published Boss This!
Second. When a person is really attacked
by a c ungerons disease, it enables you to know
the fact, and In such ca?ea Its advice ia: "Send
for a competent physician at ouce." But In
ali ordinary cases, such as can bo easily cured
(and most of the ailments m a family are of
this kind, if only you could recognize them),
it gives full directions for treatment Tne
poliit is, that it leaches you to distinguish be-
tween a dangerous and trilling disease, and
Ulls you when It Is necessary and when not
necetsary to tall a physician.
Ko Gth«s- Booh Published Jlocn This I
Third. In its direction 3 for treat ment it la
not confined to the practice used by anyone
class of physicians, but it gives, separately
arc! for each disease, tho methods used by
each cf tlio different "schools" of medicine,
and la all cases the prescriptions are made by
the most eminent men in their respective
nodes of practice. Tnis makes the work:
especially suite! to the needs of every ra-nlly,
no matter what "school" of medicine they
prefer.
Ho Other Bock Published Does This!
Besides this, there arc three chapters In the
work, which are worthy of special mention,
namely, those On "Diseases of Women." "Dis-
eases or Infants," and "Care cf the Sick."
Ihe Ill's t of these is a mr.ciei of its kind. I»
Is chaste in language, contains no dUguatlng
pictures tor children to happen on ano be over
curious about, and taken altogether Is tie
most plactical. sensible and straightforward
treatise upon tnis delicate subject that has
ever been pilrted.
This c hapter alone is worth many times the
cost of the book for every mother, even if It
had to be purchased at its regular pri re.
The 01 her chapters referred to are equally
well wiitten aud valuable.
Brt we need net further enlarge upon the
meiitsoftiie book. Re have said enough tc
substantiate our claim that it Is different fiom
all similar oooka and to show that it ia well
woith having.
