Topeka, Salina and Western Railroad.
The people throughout the central wheat
belt of Kansas are highly pleased at the
prospect of the speedy completion of the
Topeka, Salina and Western Railroad, for
which purpose syndicate Of Boston and New
York capitalists has been formed through
the efforts of Mr.. C. G. Patterson of this
city. The average distance between the two
great parallel lines of road which now
traverse Kansas from east to west is about
sixty miles, and this requires of many farm
ers haul of thirty miles to a railroad station.
For such bulky freight as wheat and corn so
long haul is obviously a serious disadvan-
tage, and to meet this difficulty is the primary
purpose of this road. The line is to run
southwesterly and westerly from Topeka
through six of the richest counties of the
State, and short distance into seventh
county; in other words, from Topeka to
Delhi, in Osborne County, a distance of
ISL miles. In 1882 the corn crop of
these seven counties was about
Il, 800 900 bushels. the wheat crop =
600, 900, to say nothing of the oats, cat
tie, hogs, sheep. wool and other productions.
These counties have a population of over
l25,00O, which is rapidly increasing. many
of the new settlers being the sons of well-to-
DO farmers OF ILLINOIS,, lndlana, MISSOURI ana
Ohio, who bring money and experience along
with them. From 1870 to 1880 eleven coun-
ties through which the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fee runs increased in population from
"a, 500 to lS6, 200. which is an indication of
the growth Of population that railroad slim
ulates in Kansas.
The building of the road has been in pro-
gress for several months - forty five miles
being all ready for the rails. The work is
now being pushed with all possible vigor,
and is expec ted to be completed by July,

Albert kilgore, the engineer of the special

safe man, much confidence being placed IN
him. He was a verv fast runner and pos

conductors trusted him and young engineers
were wont 10 pattern after him. This Is the
nrst accident he had met with during the -
years he had been in the employ of the CON-
pany. Last summer Kilgore ran the fast ex-
press between Bangor and Portland, and
during the past winter had been engineer on
Conductor Philbrook's train. The coming
summer he was to have been engineer between
Bangor and Portland on the fast train which
is to be put on between Boston and ST. John

Notes on the Collision.

We learn that Charles Small, the engineer
OF the freight, had an insurance on his life
amounting to the sum OF s.. 500, and that be
was member of the Odd Fellows Relief
Association; also that Mr.. Kilgore took out
life insurance policy about year ago.
Wednesday, engineer kilgore ran the
funeral car of Ex-Governor Washburn from
Portland to Bangor. On his return with the
car Thursday ne made the fastest time ever
made on the road, his running time betwee
the above cities, distance of I3S miles, be-
ing hours and l6 minutes, or over 40 miles
an hour.
The body of Charles Small was taken to
Skowhegan on the two o'clock Pullman Sat
urday morning. Mr.. Kilgore's body went to
Pennington and Mr.. Esterbrook's TO Bruins
wick on the SIX A. NJ. train the same day.
The general opinion among railroad men
is that engineer Kilgore on starting from
this city forgot the freight which was due in
Augusta at 1905 p. NJ. and for that reason
kept on his course.
The work of clearing the wreck of the col
lision from the track was completed at three
o'clockyesterday A portion of the debris was
burned.
