An Editor Horse-whipped.

Henry Huckins, editor ofthe Kansas City
Times. was called upon by Mrs. G. w. Co:
veil, of Omaha, not long since who wrapped
him over the head three or fourtines with
horsewhip. Huckins succeeded in wrest-
ing the whip from her hands before she did
him much damage and the irate lady with
drew from the sanctum, still mad bat pos
sibly Modified in spirits, for her intentions
were evidently good enough if she did fail.
The animus of the attack upon this jour
nalst rests in the fact that letter was
written to the Omaha Republican from Kan
sas City two or three weeks ago, said to
have been by Huckins, stating that Mrs.
G. w. Covell, accompanied by heradopted
daughter. of Omaha. were visiting friends
and relatives in the city" The item NOR
tally offended Mrs. Covell, and upon her
arrival she marched to the Timcs Office and
proceeded to chastise the supposed writer
as before stated. Huckins takes the mat
ter cody. denies having written the letter
or the item and further than this depon-
dent saveth not.

STONE AND BROOM.
Last Days Programme of the
Great Curling Match.

Special to the Globe
PORTAGE, Wis, Jan. 20.-TO-day was
the last day of the great curling season
here. The day dawned clear and cold,
and when the jolly "brithers Of the
stone and besom'' took their way to the
icy bosom of Silver lake the thermome-
ter registered 20 deg. below. But it is
said there's nOught like curlin'. cur
lin warns the blood" and the actions
and appearance of the curriers' TODAY
seemed to verify this assertion. When
this mornings games were arranged in
the Mitchell medal match. which began
Wednesday afternoon, only three of the
seventeen Kinks which entered re-
manned undefeated. These were J. A.
Bryden'S Milwaukee rink and j. H.
Wells famous Crusader rink. of
Portage, and j. E. Jones' Port
age rink. Wells was matched
against Dryden and defeated him by a
score of 20 to Is. This left the two Por-
tage Kinks to decide which should re-
cover the coveted curling trophy. They
will play the game at an early date.
suited to their own convenience. Co
lumbia county won three medals this
Week-the Morgan, which is held by
Poyneth: the Dalrymple, by Cambria,
and the Mitchell, by Portage. The dis
trlct match between Portage and Lin
coin Park, Chicago, was hOtly-contest-
ed game, but finally resulted in favor of
Lincoln Park, by score of II to s. The
contest was at the Portage Curling
clubs rink last evening, between A. j..
Turner skip Portage. and Samuel Mel
son, skip Lincoln Park, Chicago. Fif-
teen heads only were played. and twelve
OF them counted but one point each,
which made the smallest score for the
number of heads ever known in Column
bia, county.

THE RAILWAY WORLD.
The New Check System Of the Milwau-
kee Road Causes Trouble
st. Paul Refuses to Become a Member
Of Southwestern Association.
FIRST Circular of the Transcontinenta
Passenger Department.

Yesterday morning the st. Paul and
Minneapolis Passenger association held
a meeting and elected the old officers
for the year, viz: &. f. Fee, president;
). f. Boyd, vice president; Z. S. Rock
well, secretary. In the natural order of
things, the meeting should have been
adjourned at this point. and would have
been, but for the fact that the morning
papers announced that hereafter the
Milwaukee d ST. Paul road would
check the baggage of those who bought
tickets Of that office directly at
the Office, and thus save the
purchaser the trouble of going
down to the baggage room
to get it checked. As soon as the selec-
ton OF officers had been made Mr.. Nc
CullOch, of the Omaha road, called the
attention Of those present to the an
nouncement of the Milwaukee & st.
Paul road, and proceeded to point out
the inconvenience and undesirablenesS
OF any road adopting such system. He
declared that the system had proved TO
be very bad one wherever it had been
put in operation, and said il would re-
suit i'll the immediate cutting of rates,
the permission TO passengers to carry
more baggage than the law allows. and
would generally furnish an opening for
great deal of trickery and fraud in
many ways. Mr.. Dixon, of the MilwaIl-
kee d ST. Paul, admitted that what Mr.
McCullOch had said was correct,
and generally condemned the sys-
TEN. By way of explaining why
the Milwaukee q st. Paul had taken the
step he said that another road had maze
every arrangement to do the same
thing, and he thought the Milwaukee
IL st. Paul had better step in and make
the announcement first. 1t was under
stood that the Burlington d. Northern
was the road referred to. The repre-
sentative of the latter road was present
at the meeting and made 10 denial. No
action was taken by the association. and
as the other roads are opposed TO the
system it is expected that it will be
abandoned

GIVE THEM CREDIT.

There has been of late good deal of
grumbling at the railroads for their
failure in some instances to operate
trains on time, and in others to operate
them at all. The grumbling is mis-
placed. The railroads have been doing
their best to reduce the Inconvenience
to the travelling and business public as
much as possible, and should be given
credit for their efforts.
Railroading in the Northwest during
the winter is attended with difficulties
which none but railroad men can APP
preciate. The only wonder is that UNI
der the circumstances they have done so
well. To be sure, trains have been late,
some of them very late; but only for one
day have operations been entirely sus-
pended, and then the safe exposure of
men to the storm was physical impos-
Sibilty. 1t is true that several branch
roads in the Northwest yet remain
blocked, but the railway officials are
doing all that human ingenu-
ity can devise to open them.
1t is certainly as much to their interest
as TO that of the public that trains should
be running, and there is every indiea-
ton that even on remote roads the
blockade will be raised in day or two.
1t is not only the Northwest, but al
most the entire country that has suffered
during the great storm, and the railroad
companies of this section deserve credit
for having by comparison made snch an
excellent record. They are not respon-
sible for the inciemency of the weather.
and the fact that they have so valiantly
battled against it should not be forgot
ten in the evaporation caused by tenn
porary inconvenience which is beyond
their control.

A Strike OuickIv Settled

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-One of the
shortest and most successful strikes on
record occurred few days ago in the
bureau of engraving and printing here.
An order was issued directing that the
girls who acted as assistants to the men
in charge of the presses be changed
from press to press. The execution of
the order, however, was strongly OBJ
jected to, as the presSmen are paid in
proportion to the amount of work per-
formed, and accordingly, when the as
siStants become accustomed to the work
Of each man, IL involves material re-
duction in the amount of work accom-
plished to have them changed. Upon
receiving the order a committee at once
waited upon the assistant chief of the
bureau and informed him that the press
men had stopped work, and, unless the

JUMPED THE TRACK.
A Passenger Train on the Cana

FREIGHT House.

A Passenger Train on the Cana
dian Pacific Crashes Into a
Freight House.
CONCORD, n. H., Jan. 20.-The Cana
dian Pacific express, consisting of an en-
CINE, baggage, first and second class
passenger cars and drawing room coach,
jumped the track this evening near the
East Concord station on the White
Mountain division of the Boston Il
Lowell road. The engineer, noticing
something was wrong, had reversed the
engine and applied the airbrake when
the engine struck the frog and ran on
siding, the cars following. The engine
was then forced from the rail, turned
on its side and hurled into the end of
a freight house and completely demOl-
ished. The tender was detached and
turned end for end several times. All
the cars left the iron, but retained an
upright position, lying in ZigZag man.
ner across the main line and siding.
There were about seventy-five paSsen-
gers OH the train, none of whom re-
ceived the slightest injury. Edward II.
Lawther, the engineer, retained his
hold on the throttle and remained with
his engine until it stopped on its side in
the freight station, when he dropped to
the floor. He was badly cut on the face
and hands. Fireman Davis continued
with the tender and found himself UNI
der the wheels when it stopped. Neither
of the men are seriously hurt. The
cause of the accident was broken
