The fireman mounted the tank ind called to him to back, but he polled further ahead. The fireman returned to the cab and, seeing that the engineer was daied, backed the engine down himself. For sevsral stations the engineer would run past the platform, and he wonld smile vacantly when the fireman objected. Thinking at last that the engineer was drunk, the fireman at Knoxville Junction grasped the lever and saved tho train from going through the switch. The conductor remonstrated with the smiling engineer, who responded, "All right" The train was now late, and the engineer put on steam. Having passed Beacon, he gave a yoll and started to spring from the cab window. The fireman caught him by the legs, and, while be balanced him in the window ledge, he managed with his foot to stop the train. The conductor then helped get him back to the baggage car, where he was carefully guarded to Ottumwa, and there turned over to the authorities. He was brooght home yesterday, and did not recognica his wife. a Railroad Train. THE ELECTION RESULTS IN A RAD- Yesterday's ball games: At Now York— New York, 0; Boston, 3.

The yachts crossed the line together goicg very fast, close hauled with booms to port and carrying their hoad sailD, sprit top-sails and main sails. Tho wind is to eastward, is from 15 to 20 miles an hour and freshening. The raco promises to be quick. Albany, Sept 80.—Jacob Sharp will not go to Sing Sing to-day, nor for at loast seven days to come. Chief Justice William C. Roger, of the court of appeals, is the man who has saved him this time. At 5:30 yeoterday afternoon he issued an order and notioe to the district attorney of New York temporarily staying the execution of sentence until a hearing can be granted next Thursday as to why the stay should not be made permanent until the court of appeals can roview the case. The application for the grant of a stay was made in Syracuse Saturday last by John M. Perry. Whether Mr. Perry was notified by Judge Roger or not that ha bad concluded to grant the stay does not appear. It can only be inferred from the fact that from 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon until 5436, when the fast express rolled into the Albany depot, an hour and twenty minutes late, the depot yard was patroled by a representative of Mr. Porry. When the train did enter the yard Mr. Perry's agent went at once to the car from which Judge Roger omorged, and the two walked the whole length of the yard and out into the street by the baggage entrance, never used by the passengers. Judge Andrews and Judge Finch had in tha meantime passed out by the regular entrance. Somewhere down among the trunks Judge Ruger passed over to Mr. Perry's messenger the document which, for the time at least, keeps Mr. Sharp out of prison. It is brief and reads substantially as follows, with the usual prefatory statement that It is in the case of Jacob Sharp: Chattanooga, Sept. 80.—Dispatches from all parts of the state indicate that tho Prohibition election yesterday passed off quietly, and that the largest vote ever cast was polled. No definite figures con yet bo given on the result. Ladies took on activo part in the election, and in all the cities and towns they were at the polls with freo lunch stands, and personally solicited the voters. At every polling booth there was a lavish display of banners, among them beting: "Vote for God, Home and Tennessoe to-day;" "Vote for Mother, Wife and Sister. They have no defence save your ballot;" "Tho Women and Children of Tennessee Appeal to the Manhood of the State; Yes, to-day," ctc. The ladies were everywhere treated with respect. During the morning prayer meetings w.?re hold at the churches. At Athens, where the vote was counted and it was ascertained that a majority of 120 was obtained for prohibition, all the ward workers bowed their heads and •ng the Doxology. London, Sept 80.—The election to the office of lord mayor of London of Polydore De Keyser, alderman for Farrington Without, which occurred yesterday, was a genuine surprise as well as a radical innovation. Mr. De Keyser is a Belgian by birth and a Roman Catholic in religion. He Is the proprietor of the Royal hotel, Bridge street, Blackfriars, and in the capacity of a boniface is well known throughout England and the continent His hostelrie is patronized by some of the best people visiting London, and is invariably the abiding place of King Leopold of Belgium and certain other continental royalties whenever they honor the English capital with a visit Mr. Do Keyser is the first Roman Catholic to hold the office of lord mayor of London since the reformation, and his elevation to the position is regarded by Attholics as a great victory and by churchmen and Dissenters as at least unfortunate, if not positively humiliating. Formerly he was bitterly opposed to the corporation, and although he was honored with the office of sheriff in 1883, the same year in which he became an alderman, he steadfastly held to his opposition views until a year or so ago, when he unaccountably switched about and equally as unaccountably won the distinction just conferred upon him. The now lord mayor was on the occasion of his election made the recipient of a large number of valuable presents and the auditor of many fulsome addresses of congratulation.Niw York, Sept. 80.—There were between 3,000 and 4,000 people at the Brooklyn Jockey club races yesterday, dospit3 damp and murky weather.

And the Yacht Race was Postponed for HE WON A COOL $3,000. a Day. Great Good Lnck of Samuel W. Bar- New Tore, Sept. 30.—Tho attempt to sail tho second race of the series between the Volunteer and the Thistle yesterday was a failure. The racers and the excursion boots all got down to the starting line on time. Tho race was pi an nod to start at the Scotland lightship, off Sandy Hook, at 10:30 o'clock. Thonce, as the wind was about southeast when they got there, had the racers been started, they would have beat their way out to sea making a southeast course, or a course right into the eye of the wind for twenty miles, whero a tug would have been anchored as a stake boat Haying rounded this stake boat they would have squared away for the home lino at the lightship. But they were not started, because there was such a fog over the sea that the chances of the racers finding the stake boat would have boon few Indeed, and because there was so little wind that there was little or no hope of their completing the course within the pro scribed time limit of seven hours, even If started and able to And the stake boat The race was postponed until to-day. rett. The total state vote at the last gubernatorial election was approximately 235,000 votes, but tho indications are that fully 250,- 000 votes wore polled yesterday. The election has aroused considerable excitement throughout the state, and the result shown the Prohibitionists had a much more effective organization than they were credited with. The Antis kept their money back until yesterday and used it to advantago. The returns from east Tennessee are nearly complete and give fully 30,000 and west Tennessee 5,000 for the amendment. Middle Tennessee is against it by about 30,000. Melbourne Avenue, North Toronto, has for the past few days been a scene of intense excitement. It was whispered that one of lLo residents held a lucky ticket in The Louisiana State Lottery drawing on the 9ih ult The New found the fortunaio man to bo Ramuel Ward Barrett, 105 Melbourne avenue, foreman bookbinder at Gage A; Co.'f, Wellington street. Mr. Barrett was found at his place of busiuoiis, and in answer to the reporter's inquiries said while a broad smile lighted up his whole countenance, "I had no faith in the lottery business; but four months ago one of the men induced me to invest a dollar in it. I sent to the Now Orleans National Bank in Nsw Orleans to find out how I could get tickets. The bank sent mo blanks, and I cncloscd a dollar for a tenth ticket in the May drawing. I got nothing then. Still in June I again tent a dollar for a tenth ticket, also In July, and also in August. Igot the report of the drawing last Thursday week on my way home, and carelessly jammed it luto my pocket, with the remark 'Well, there's another dollar gone.' In my bedroom, however, I thought I would look at tho report, and the first that met my eyes was the number 29,145, entitling mo to one-tenth of the fifty thousand dollar prize. I immediately broke the news to my wife, and joy reigned in the family. I te!l you," said Mr. Barrett with a wink "one does not fall Into a small fortune so slick every day." Marine Intelligence.

The train remained in Albany twenty minutes for lunch, and Mr. Perry's representative left with the document when it started for New York, and Mr. Perry arrived in that city in time to serve the notice and accompanying documents on District Attorney Martine and'Bheriff Grant bofore the latter could start with Sharp to SingBlng. GOVERNOR HILL Doa* Mot Bel lave In Paternal Govern- Dublin, Sept. 30.—The appointments of Col Sir Joseph West Ridge way as under secretary for Ireland and several othei*offlcials who will assume office in Dublin at about the same time that Col. Ridge way does will not be announcda until Gen Buller retires, which he will probably do in about a fortnight.  Rociiertkh, N. Y., Sept 80.—Governor Hill yesterday spobe at the Bath (Steuben county) fair. He begtn by Baying that aa a general rule government should not engage in business that coald be conducted by private enterprise, but there ware certain thing* that could be done better by the government, ■uch as tho postal service. He was opposed to paternal government, and believed the true mission of our peculiar form of government was to encroach upon individual enterprise as little as possible. He therefore thought that telegraphs, banks and railroads should be managed by private individuals. The utterance of President Cleveland, he said, was wise: "While the people should support the government, the government should not support the people." The generalising of matters in the hands of the government has destroyed liberty and the rights cf mau everywhere. The governor reiterated his former views on taxation, und was loudly applauded during his speech. ment, and Quotas the President. Knoxvill,ic, Sept 30.—The vote on the prohibition amendment was much lighter than was expected In Knoxville, but resulted iu a victory for prohibition, as was anticipated. The vote stood: For the amendment, 2,318; against, 1,130, showing a majority of 1,193 for prohibition. The negro vote was almost solid against the amendment, and represent* at least three-quarters of the opposition in Knoxville. Most of the white citizens who opposed the amendment did not go to the polls. Hundreds of ladies worked at the polls all day, many of them driving voters to tho polls in their carriages. Free lunches were distributed by tho ladies at the voting places. The election passed off quietly, with no disturbances at any of the precincts. Tho saloons were all closed, and not a drunken man was seen. Presidential Postmasters. Washington, Sept. 30.—The present postmasters at the following named offloes, which among others become presidential on Oct. 1, have been reappointed by the president: Colchester, Conn.; East Hampton, Conn.; Foxcraft, Ma; Georgetown, Mass.; Manchester, Mass.; Bayshore, N. Y.; Port Jefferson, N. Y. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept 80.—The threatened strike of window glass workers has been averted and operations will be resumed in all the factories of the west as soon as the furnaces can be heated. The workmen agreed to accept a 5 per cent increase and the manufacturers promised to bring all outside factories Into the association. The settlement of the strike will give employment to 7,000 men, who have been idle since the beginning of the summer vacation in June, although a strike had not been officially declared. The Strike Averted. COLLISION IN NEW YORK HARBOR. A Fortunate Escape front a Frightful Judge Roger went at one* to hi* hotoL When asked there concerning the matter, be •aid: "Yes, an application for an order for a stay Iras made to me here to-day. I hare power to act in the matter, bnt I do not deem it proper to announce at this time my course or to say whether a decision has been rendered." caff* Marine Disaster. Where Ignorance Was Bliss. New Yore, Sept 30.—The lives of several hundred excursionists, who went down to see the second contest between the Volunteer and Thistle, were imperilled yesterday when the new freight steamer City of Brockton, of the Fall River line, came into collision with a harbor tug and knocked a half dozen of the tug's people overboard. A big bole was stove in the steamboat above the water line, but no one was badly hurt on her, and she was able to get down as far as the Scotland lightship to see the futile attempts of the yachts to start BlioorLTir, Sept 30.—The balcony running across the front of the Brooklyn theatre was partly burned last night The fire was caused by a cross of electrlct light wires. The large audience In the theatre knew nothing of It until all danger was over. * Memphis, Sept SO.—Returns so far received indicate that the prohibition amendment was defeated in tho state. The anti- Prohibitionists carried this city by a majority of 4,233 out of a total rote of 9,010. County district returns are coming in slowly, but Shelby couoty will give about 6,000 majority against the amendment. Ladies worked for the amendment at all the voting prccincts in the city. "How did you collect ycur mouey T" asked The Hcwa, when sufficiently recovered. "I received notice from ;the New: Orleans National Bank that a draft for $5,000 in gold coin had toen forwarded to the Central Bank in this city, payable to my order." Judge Andrews, of the .court C4 appeals, ■aid: "I do not know whether aa application for a stay has been made or not. Such on application could be made to any member of the court of appeals. None has been made to me." PULOTVIKLD, N. J., Sept 30.—Ephriam Cannon was arrested by Detective Murphy at Bound Brook and brought here. He is a full blooded negro and is well known in Plainfield. The authorities refused to say for what reason he was arrested, but it is more than probable that he is suspected of being one of the firebugs. He has lived in Bound Brook for two years, but was formerly connected with the same ongine company to which John M. Jackson, the self confessed incendiary, belonged. Probably a Firebug. Ten Widows and Twenty-four Orphans. St. John's, N. F., Sept 30.—The waterlogged vessel seen near the Banks after the storm of Aug. 86 proved to be the Ocean Friend, a banking schooner owned by Duff & Balmer, of Carbonear. Her crew of fourteen men were drowned, leaving ten widows and twenty-four children. The governor paid an official visit to the Buth Bokiiera and Sailors' home at 3 o'clock p. m., and left town on an early train for New York city. "Did you call at the Central Bank and draw the money?" "No, I al'.owod it to remain there on deposit to my credit" - The tug was more seriously damaged. One passenger aboard her had his leg broken and the rest were badly shaken up. The six men thrown overboard were picked up. Whether any more had been jostled over by the shock of tho collision neither the people on the tugboat nor tboso on the Brockton oould say with certainty. If, as is probable, no lives havo been lost, both boats escaped narrowly what came near proving one of the worst disasters about New York for many years. J udge Finch said: "If an order has been granted it is the first case of the kind in my experience. In civil cases judge* of the court of appeals sometimes issue stays wheje exocutton of judgment would be Ukely to do injustice pending the appeal." In Nashville and Davidson oounty the election was tho most remarkable ever held. The feature of it was the prcsenoe of ladies at the polls, working and pleading with voters to oast their ballots for the amendment. Lunches, with hot coffeo. were set at all the polling places, and whenever a man presented himself to vote the anti-ticket he was surrounded by the ladies, argued with, and, If very stubborn, prayed for and regaled with sacred songs. Such a sight was never witnessed before In Nashville. The voters showed universal respect for tho ladies, and there is no doubt that to their presence is due the cutting down of the anti-majority in this county. In the Sixth ward of this city the antis rallied their forces early, and were voting in solid platoons of from five to fifty. The Prohibition men were discouraged to tho degree that they deserted the polls. Then the ladies rallied, sent out for re-inforcements of their sex, and bravely stood in the breach, pleading and praying with voters until the polls closed. Even those masculines who deprecate participation in politics by women, are forced to admire the bravery displayed by the ladles of Nashville yesterday. Returns are incomplete. The American has figures which indicate that the amendment has been defeated by from 10,000 to 15,000. The antis claim 25,000 majority, but it will hardly reach that ■'Jlnd you othor tickets in the same drawing T" "No. I only had ono.

Ho turned around, and pointing to tho numerous employees, said: "Why all these have sent for tickets, and they intend to continue as monthly subscribers,"—Toronto (Ont) News, Sept. 12. The effect of the decision is as follows: Sharp cannot be taken to Sing Sing for tka prssMl, On Thursday next Mr. Martins and Mr. Delanoey Kieoll will be required to meet Bharp's lawyers before Judge Rugerto vgue the question of the stay. Until that has been argued and Judge Ruger's decision rendered Sharp cannot be transferred to prison. If Judge Ruger denies the application then Sharp goes to Sing Sing, unless tome other expedient for delay is devised. If, oil Ae other hand, Judge Ruger grants the application, Bharp remains in Ludlow street jail until the court of appeals baa passed on the decision of the general term. Notloe of appeal hal not yet been filed, but it is expected here wben the court convene* on Monday. As a criminal case it goes at once on the preferred calendar, and will be heard at once. The intricacies of the case, of course, make it probable that a decision will not be rendered for several weeks. Rochester, N. Y., Sept 30.—Frederick Cook, the nominee for secretary of state wis tendered a reception on his return from Saratoga last evening by the local Demooraoy. He was met at the station by a large crowd, headed by a band. Hon. William Purcell delivered an address of welcome, which was responded to by Mr. Cook.

The mayor wai furnished by the civil service examiners with a list of eligibles for patrolmen. The list contained the names of two veteran soldiers. The mayor appointed a non-veteran. It is claimed that the law giving preference to ex-soldiers was violated, as one of the. veterans stood higher on the list than the man who was selected. The mayor claims that the appointee was better fitted for the place than the veteran, but tho quostion Is whether the mayor had any discretion in the matter of fitness, which was passed on by the examiners.

Mr. Coekran urgeU that the aged prisoner be allowed to remain in Ludlow street jail for the present, claiming that his removal to Sing Slag at this time would result in death. Mr. Nicoll opposed the argument, and Judge Van Brunt appointed Dr. Thomas W. Fowler to examine into Sharp's condition and report to Sheriff Grant Dr. Fowler examined Sharp last night and reported to the sheriff that the prisoner was in fit condition to be removed.
