TRICKS ON THE TRACKS,
Dangers from Which Engineers
Save the Public and
Themselves.

The Railway Review.
One who is accustomed to railway travelling
can scarcely realize how much he is depend
ent for safety upon the engineer. Added to
the responsibility of their station, engineers
are also In constant danger of accidents caused
by the tricks of jealous rivals.
This rivalry, it is said sometimes prompts
to the doing of utterly mean tricks. A MCKEE
plate engineer after his very first trip was
laid off because he had "cut out" all the bear
ings of his engine He was re-instated, how
ever, after he proved that some rival had
filled his Oiling can with emery. Another
new engineer was suspended for burning out
the tiues of his boiler. Through grief at the
loss OF his position he died, and then a con-
science-stricken rival confessed that he had
put oil in the tank so that it foamed and
showed water at the top gauge, when in re-
atty there was scarcely quart in the boiler.
These intense iealousies, together with the
terrible anxiety incident to their work, has a
terribly straining effect on the nerves, and
statistics tell us that, though Locomotive
Engineers may look strong and vigorous, they
are not all hearty class. Ex-Chief Engineer
A. s. Hampton, indianapolis Ind, DIV. 143)
was one Of those apparently hearty men, but
he says: "The anxiety, strain and iolting
came near finishing me-" His sufferings
localized in cattarrh of the bladder, but he
used Warmers Safe Cure faithfully for twenty
weeks and now eXclaims, Il am well man"
T. S. Ingraham, of Cleveland, Ohio, assistant
Chief Engineer and other prominent members
are also emphatic in its praise.
The Locomotive Engineers Brotherhood
has 1900 members and 240 divisions. Its
headquarters are in Cleveland, Ohio, where
Chief Engineer Arthur for twenty years has
exercised almost dictatorial sway. 1t was or
gained in August 1868, by the employees of
the Michigan Central. 1t has given nearly
two million dollars to the widows and orphans

vision of the rules. and it was ordered printed

Mr.. Weaver, of Iowa, offered resolution pro-
viding for call of States to-day, for the intro

Considerable antagonism was made to this
proposition. Messrs. Hammond, of Georgia, and
Mcmillan, of Tennessee. asserting that the in
PRODUCTION of bills before the House has deter
mined the jurisdiction of the various commit
tees would lead to great confusion.
Mr.. Springer of Illinois, took the same view
of the matter and pointed out various sections
of the code which would be violated if the reso-
luton adopted.
Mr. Weaver saw no weight to the objections
raised to his resolution, because it was proposed
to refer the bills to the appropriate committees,
when appointed. Further discussion was cut
short by motion to adjourn, which, at 1926,

at once arrested Briggs and took him to Madison,
arriving there yesterday. Briggs was released
on bond of $4,000, and at once came to Louis
vile, accompanied by a lawyer, who is now with
him at the Planters Hotel. Porter also came
on, accompanied by Mr. Reed, the bank-teer.
The latter was seen at the Louisville Hotel last
night, and SAID that Briggs had come here to
procure evidence in his own behalf and that of
his nephew; that he (Reed) had sufficient eyi-
dence to convict both men; that Briggs and Wolf
had entered into a combination to rob the bank
of the $1,000, and that the bank had nothing
whatever to do with the purchase of the bricks.
AS to the evidence in his possession he declined
to say anything.
Briggs is short thick-set man. about fifty
five years of age, partially bald. with gray hair
ard beard. 1t is suspected that he and Wolf are
wanted at Nashville for recent large gold brick
swindie there.

THE GOLD BRICK SWINDLE.
One of the Suspected Parties Endeavors tc
Secure Testimony in His Own Behalf.

One OF the Suspected Parties EndeavOrs to
Secure Testimony in His Own Behalf
Louisville Courier-Journal.
One of the alleged principals in the celebrated
Madison, Ind, gold brick robbery is now at the
Planters Hotel in this city Mr.. D. N. Reed,
teller of the Branch National Bank of Madison
is also here, at the Louisville Hotel. William
Biggs the man at the Planters Hotel, has Just
been apprehended by detective, and his alleged
confederate in the swindle is under surveillance
at Madison.
The story of the gold bricks is as follows:
About three weeks ago, one o. S. Wolf, living
near Madison, Ind, borrowed 50. 900 from the
Branch National Bank. of that city, depositing
as collateral large amount OF bona fide turn
pike shares and stock. Shortly afterwards Wolf
claimed he had lost the money in confidence
game in which the Dank was interested, and
denied that the stock held by the bank was
given collateral on the loan. He said that a
correspondence had been opened up between
himself. man named Dave Brown, and a Mex
lean Indian, wherein the two latter stated that
they had several gold bricks buried on the
Knobs back of New Albany.
AS result of the correspondence, Wolf
claimed that he went to New Albany and, after
meeting Brown and the Indian, shown the
bricks which he purchased for So, 900 he had
borrowed from the Branch Bank. He returned
to Madison with the bricks, where an investiga-
tion proved them to be worthless. They were
merely common metal bricks, electro plated with
gold. He then set up claim that the bank had
gone into the scheme and was responsible for
the loss of the entire sum, and refused to allow
the banks claim upon the turnpike values held
by it.
The bank commenced civil suit against Wolf
and, having their suspicious aroused as to the
genuineness of his loss, employed detectives to
look into the matter. The bank claimed that,
as result of the detectives work, the identity
of Dave Brown and William Briggs, an uncle of
Wolf. living near Vandalia, H., proved one and
the same, and that the alleged Indian was a
myth. AS consequence Wolf was arrested
but Brown, alias Briggs, fed before he could be
nabbed. Wolf secured bail to large amount
and was released, pending trial.
The bank officials corresponded with parties
here, and secured the services of John E. Porter
to catch Briggs. Porter went to Madison, and
kept strict watch on Wolf, thinking that the
two must eventually communicate with each 9TH
er, and perhaps meet personally. A few days
ago Wolf left Madison, followed by Porter. who
was unknown to him. He evidently suspected
that he was being watched, and took various
means to throw any possible follower off his
trail, travelling many hundreds of miles, but
eventually returning to within less than hun
dred miles of Madison. He finally stopped at a
small station over night nd the next
morning, much to the detectives delight
he went to the depot and met
Briggs, who arrived on train. Porter

Suit on q Large Claim.

The Alabama Great Southern Railroad Com
pany last evening filed in the United States
Court a suit against the Indianapolis Car and
Manufacturing Company, asking judgment for
the sum of 100000. The complaint is very
brief and states simply that the Car Com
pany is indebted to the Alabama Great South
ern to the amount of $3.50, 900, (which said sum
is long since due and wholly unpaid" There is
no definite statement regarding the nature of the
claim or of when the alleged Indebtedness was
contracted. 1t is known, however that the suit
is based on a contract.

Manager Kenny, of the Bankers and Mer-
chants Telegraph Company, called on the city
engineer yesterday and gave his side of the ques-
ton involving the companys right to use the
streets for its poles and wires. He said the
Bankers and Merchants had not lost it's identity
in the pooling arrangement under the name of
United Lines. It's corporate life was as distinct
now as it was before the pool was formed. If
the United Lines carried with it any merging or
consolidation it related to the other companies, as
the Bankers and Merchants positively controlled
the management City Attorney Denny does
not think that the mere assumption of another
name to designate the pool, so long as the Bank
ers' and Merchants has lost nothing of its power
or identity, sufficient to render null and void the
franchise heretofore granted it. Nothing will
probably be done about the matter, unless infu-
ence other than official moves upon Council to
consider the question.

day:
doubt, was commenced in Los Angeles last
night. Fully 5000 people assembled in the
Tabernacle to listen to DR.. L. W. Munhall, the
evangelist. He is good speaker, has clear,
full voice, and talks without effort, and keeps
his audience interested with anecdotes and illus
trations, and at the same time keeps straight
the thread of his discourse Compared with
Moody, ne does not seem to have the latter's en-
thusiasm, but is better controller of the forces

labor from his followers than Moody. Like him,
he uses short plain words, and is we'll posted on
worldly affairs, which he makes use of to gain
interest where he otherwise would get none"

month or six weeks, and go thence to Portland,
