The Yaukton Herald believes it has
scored large point against the Press
and Dakotaisn, but the Herald is mis-
taken. II undertakes defence of the
insane hospital management against q
paragraph in the Press and Dakotaian
which states that the reformed board
had paid some seven thousand dollars
more for fuel than the old board paid
in the same time. The Herald refers to
the report of the old board and ascer-
tsins evidence OF the xIenditure of
$12 ,449 65 for fuel urdsr the auspioes
of that board, whereas the report of the
reformed board shows an expenditure
for the same time OF SIG 493,02. In both
instances there was considerable
quantity oil. coal on hand when the re-
ports we're made. Here fs difference
of very nearly $4,000 It Will be recalled
by the Herald and others that the pub
lie examiner in going through the affairs
of the hospital ascertsIned thata little
mere than So 900 reported to have been
expended for fuel was expended for
something else and charged to the
fuel account, and that for thus transfer
ring money from one fund to another
the trustees were removed. This COM
pIetes the difference OF $1,000 produced
by the Press and Dskotaian and denied
by the Herald. After so faithfully sus-
tanning the work of the public examiner
the Herald should be willing to accept
his figures. We rely upon their accuracy
not particularly because the public
examiner said so, but because the mem-
bers OF the old boari freely admitted
that they transferred $4,000 surplus
from the fuel fund to another fund.

been the corrupt policy OF the man who

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-W. w. Cor
coran died this morning at G:3O. He was
born at Georgetown December 81, 1898.
He laid the basis of his great fortune I'M
der the firm name of Corcoran & Riggs,
bankers, by floating government bonds
during the Mexican war. lie was best
known as a public benetactor and philan-
thropist. In lS47 he purchased the site
of Oak Hill cemetery, Georgetown, and
expended about Sl2O, 900 in improving it
and presented the cemetery TO his native
town. The Corcoran gallery Of art he cs-
tablished in 1857, spending about $780,
900 in fitting it up and in addition estab-
fishing an endowment fund of nearly
81 900, 600 for its benefit, and transferred
his entire collection of paintings, statuary
and works Of art. Another OF his gifts
is the Louise home, founded in memory
of his wife and intended as a home for
aged women of refinement and education,
who by revcrses of fortune had been re-
duced from afiluence to poverty. The
building cost about 5000, 600 and has an
endowment fund of about $500, OOO. Cor
coran also made large gifts to the Wash

TROUBLE ON THE O."
A Tie-Up Threatened by the
Engineers and Firemen.
The Employees Confident of
Winning the Strike.
Death Of W. w. CorcOran, the
Philanthropist.
Will Strike To-day.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-It is possible that
tomorrow the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy system will be tied up FROM one
end to the other. The Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and FIremen have
decided upon a strike as a last resort to
enforce their demand upon the company
and confidently expect to tie up the road
completely and win the strike. For three
weeks past a committee of Burlington
engineers and firemen have been negotiat-
ing, together with Chief Arthur and
Grand Master Sergeant, with the Burling-
ton officials to bring about arrangements
similar to those of other roads.
MIR, Sergeant said tonight to an Asso-
ciated Press representative: I'VE have
consented to strike and We have instructed
our men accordingly, and at a given hour
every engineer and fireman employed on
the entire system of Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy will quit work and go to their
homes and this company will be at liberty
to get other men to fill their places. The
brotherhood does not do anything hastily.
They look over the ground carefully,
act cautiously and intend to be %victori-

Huntington Explains.

; WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The house
committee on Pacific railways received a
letter from Q. p. Huntington this morn
ing. In it he calls attention to the fact
that he was prevented by reason of in.
torruptions from giving a full answer at
the last hearing TO the question put as to
what the Central Pacific railroad has done
towards paying its debt at maturity. He
therefore thinks it advisable to make it
in writing. After a resume Of the met.
fectual efforts of the government and the
company to provide for the debt, he tells
how the directors of the company in 1873
resolved to create a sinking fund in their
own treasury to meet its debt. 1t is now
apparent, he says, that the money could
not be made to earn s per cent, as was
anticipated, nevertheless a considerable
fund would have accumulated by 1898.
More than half the entire debt would be
paid, and the whole would have been set
tied in the early part of the twentieth
century, after which the whole Of the net
earnings would have gone to the stock
holders, 80 that whether my assertion
was right or not would have made but
little difference"
Continuing, he says that the passage of
the Thurman act followed, and this, of
course, puts an end to the company own
voluntary efforts, as we could not pay
money into the United States treasury
and also invest it elsewhere. Congress
thus took the matter into its own hands,
and the result has been to impound a
considerable sum in the United States
treasury which ought to have been earn
ing 3 or G per cent, but which has virtu-
ally earned nothing. As it is to day, it is
doubtful whether as many dollars will be
gotten out Of tho fund as has been paid
into it by the company. Finally
it was not possible for the Central
Pacific company to repay the United
States loan and interest upon it, and at
the same time to take care Of its first
mortgage bonds and interest thereon
within the short space of thirty years,
unless it had control OF the traffic it trav-
ersed. When it became clear that other
competing roads to the Pacific coast, more
literally aided han the first road, were
soon to be completed, 1t was evident that
both first mortgage and subordinate liens
must be postponed for n very long time.
For reasons which we're no doubt %satislac
tory, the government had impaired the
earning capacity of the road and thereby
its security for this debt. This was a
matter over which the government had
control, and in equity it ought not now
to seek to make the impairment good at
the expense of the party injured by 1t,
viz: the company.

AN EARLY MORNING WRECK.
Coaches Burned, An Engi-
neer Killed and Fireman Injured.

Early this morning indefinite rumors
foated about the city to the effect that
q big accident had occurred at Sidney,
but it was impossible at first to get any
definite information, as the wires east
were down.
About half past 8 o'clock the first def
mite news was received by Superintendent
Wurtele at the train dispatcher's Office, a
telegram arriving from Sidney.
This new was tn the effect that No. 4
passenger train going east ran into No. 10
freight, coming west, as the latter was
pulling into a side-track at Cotton.
The passenger struck a car loaded with
benziue, which was two cars removed
from the caboose on the freight, with the
result of an instant fire. Before the
flames could be extinguishcd the pas
sengcr engine, baggage car, a day.coach
and ten sleepers were entirely con.
sumed.
Mike Powell, engineer of the passenger
train, was killep, while the fireman had a
leg broken. -Four or Ave passengers
were cut and bruised about the head and
face, but mono of them were seriously in
jured.
The accident occurred at . O'Clock this
morning. The work of repairing the
wreck was commenced as soon as possible,
but the west-bound flyer will probably
reach here several hours behind time.
