RAILROAD NEWS.

The s. p. also had q wreck on its
line, last Sunday. The engine of a
Sunset special going east, broke d
wheel and partially left the track.
The engineer and fireman both
jumped from the cab, injuring them
selves more or less. Engineer Cherry
sprained his back and Fireman Davis
bruised his head. Both men were
brought to San Antonio.
General Agent Cowen, of the Mex
lean Central. was in town from
Laredo, yesterday.
There was an ugly wreck on the
Louisiana division of the s. P. on
Sunday night in which the engineer
and some brakesmen are said to have
been hurt. The engineer lies at the
hospital. In consequence of this &C.
cident the west bound passenger did
not leave Houston at the regular
time. arriving about midnight.
Here is something that has never
been perpetrated BEFORE" said the
chief clerk at the I. & G.. n. freight
office, as he unfolded a bill of lading,
which showed that a railroad agent
in a Kentucky town had shipped
three dogs in car with some horses
and labelled them live stock.
When the dogs had gotten as far as
Pine Bluff, great town for colored
people and opossums. one of the dogs,
which were of good breed, escaped
from or was helped to escape from
the car. When the car reached here,
the receiver of the cattle missed one
of his "live stock" the dog, and
promptly handed in claim of S. for
the same. The railroad company has
started tracer for the missing "live
stock" that is probably spending the
rest of his life in exciting opossum
hunts about Pine Bluff.
The outfit for the doubl track from
Arkansas Harbor to the Pass, left this
morning. The necessary hands to
works on the same, left this after
noon over the s. A. p.
Since the last few days, accident
policies have been 10 great demand
by parties travelling over the rail-
roads.

A Curiosity in Accidents.

The possible danger in the wearing
Of cheap combs and bracelets made
of celluloid was most curiusly illus
urated recently in Paris. A young girl
sat down before the fire to study her
lessons. She had on what is called a
''crop comb" AS she leaned forward
the comb became heated and burst,
into flame. The girls hair was partly
burned of, and for a long time after
ward no hair would grow, as the skin
of the head was much injured. Cellu-
loid must be at $50 dogs. Fahrenheit
before 1t will burn, consequently the
danger is not very great, as few peo'
pie would not care enough to heat
their heads to within 80 dogs. of the

why Are Our Local Politics Called
Dirty?

WHY Are Our Local Politics Called
Dirty?
From the White Republican.
1t has become SO well known that
our local politics require an abandon
ment OF all rules of decency and hon.
esty on the part of candidates that 1t
takes hard pull to get respectable
man to allow his name to go on a
ticket, especially if it is headed by
some such name as the independent
ticket" or the peoples ticket"
When citizen does go on to the
ticket he must first submit to an as
sessment for election expenses. This
election fund amounts to several
thousand dollars. Part of 1t is spent
legitlmately, some fOolishly, In buy
ing up space i'm opposition papers;
part is spent for printing, barbecues,
balls, etc., largest portion goes into
the pockets of ward heelers and strik-
ers. Both sides plays at this game;
and the side that has the most money
generally wins, unless the people step
in and kick over the gambling tables
and take charge of the business. But
that is not all. The candidate who
expects to stand any show must visit
the saloons and slums; must prove
himself "one of the b-hOys," even
though he aspire to the dignified
place of Judge of the district court;
he must be liberal. and if his means
are limited he becomes desperate, as
he sees that only in success can he
hope to escape bankruptcy. No won
der hundreds of competent, good men
dread to enter the lists as a candidate.
This state of affairs has been growing
worse un til our county has fastened
upon it an official ring who have had
the experience of years in the manip-
ulation and management of the cleo
tions, and who are amply able to risk
a part of their official salaries to de.
feat all opposition.
When election day comes the polls
are beset with paid agents of the cam
didates who drag in the ignorant
voter and vote him, while the good
citizen, if he notes, escapes as soon
as he can and takes no more stock In
the contest, perhaps becomes a party
to the outrage of a free ballot by
voting for the very men who are the
cause of all this disgraceful proceed
ing.
One remedy alone remains, and
that is to gel back into party ranks
and while the evil will not be al
together abated 1t will be modified
The people could resolve to vote
down any ticket which would
attempt to use money for cord
rupting the voters, and candidates
could be run by both parties and not
be bled to death by personal politics.
If defeated, their defeat would have
no personal sting to it. but be borne
by the political party whose cause
they advocated. The personal ami
mosities would be lessened and the
peace and happiness of the commune
ty less disturbed.
So deep has this evil of personal
politics become that a change to party
action becomes patriotic duty-a
local necessity.

THE monetary trouble in New York
followed so closely upon the heels of
the democratic victory as to justify
the belief that 1t was occasioned by
the alarm that was felt as to what
the democrats would do, as they are
revolutionary by nature and by prin-
ciple. The republican party is the
sheet anchor of the country.

The Newtown bee., 1890-12-19

An unusual number of minor railroad
accidents, mostly mishaps to freight
trains, have occurred on nearly all roads
for several months; but the Consolidated
has varied the monotony by exploding
the boiler of Il locomotive without hurt
ing any, one. The accidents are said to
be caused largely by the system of over
working men who have charge Of trains.
No man can work "a hours on Il stretch
or 40 out of As hours, without suffering
the consequences of an overtaxed mind
and body. Nature presently refuses to
do more, vigilance is inevitably, though
perhaps only momentarily relaxed and
the result is an accident. True the man
agement of the road pays large wages to
the men who break down health and
strength in the struggle against Nature,
but extra wages do not fully compensate.

GREEN'S FARMS BUTTER.
A New Local Industry.
rIIE NEW cREAMERY.


Progress has been steadily made at the
Green's Farms creamery, for not only is
the capital of $500 subscribed, the build
ing erected and cream gathering routes
established, but the machinery is in oper-
alton and the butter made finds ready
sale among grocers in Southport, Bridge
port, Westport and Norwalk. At whole
sale, soc a pound is obtained, while Soc
is readily paid by those who buy the but
ter in small quantities at the creamery.
This speaks well for the quality of the
butter, which is made under the careful
supervision of Wolcott Bunnell, who has
had 10 years experience at the business,
at Salisbury, New Caanan and Red Hook,
N. Y, coming here from the latter place,
though his family is in New Caanan. The
cream gathering system is in vogue, the
territory from which the cream is OBJ
tanned being divided into two routes
Greenfield Hill, under the care of Burr
Hill and Green's Farms and Weston in
charge of Charles Sherwood. The latter
is SO arranged that second route for
Weston may be laid out, if found neces-
sary. The creamery prefers the Cooley
| system of raising the cream, though sep
arator cream from F. Bronson's Verna
farm dairy is freely used and, in
fact, any deep set system is accepta'
BILE. The creameryis run on the cooper
ative plan and the profits are divided al

ers receiving their shares in proportion
to the number of inches of cream furnish.
ed. Cream is gathered on alternate days.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, the churn
ing being done the following days. AS
the cream is brought to the creamery
building, it is received on the upper OF
the two floors of the building and passes
through a tunnel to the watts below
There are two of these and their uniteG
capacity is 1900 pounds. The lower
room also contains full butter making
and working outfit, including six-horst
power engine, a dairy swing churn, Eure

There is an oil test churn, with which
