the otese lots the office will open

Saratoga for about three-quarters of q
mile. If the ties give satisfaction on
this section, which Is strongly curved
they will work anywhere, and probably
will be adopted by the company. The
ordinary tie of chestnut, white oak or
yellow pine can be used for between
eight and ton ears, while it is claimed
that the steel tic, although costing four
times as much, will last Eve times as
long as the wooden ones. The tie that
will be tested IL made of wrought stssl,
stamped by strong pressure into the
shape of long, rectangular trough. 1t is
seven feet long, seven inches high, seven
inches wide and three-quarters of an
inch thick. The laying of this tie is DIFF
ferent from that of all others, the hollow
side being upward. The central part of
the bottom of the trough is cut away so
as TO transfer the bearing of the rails to
the ballast under them. Immediately
under each rail at either end of the tie
is block of creosoted wood, the grain
vertical so that the rail rests directly on
the end of the grain of the wood, the
blocks themselves resting in the hollow
or trough of the tie. The rails are
fastened by hooks passing over the bot
tom flHngs and down under the bottom of
the tie. 1t Is claimed by the mRnufae-
tursrs that this bearing of the rails on
the block of timber will do away with the
iarring and wesr of rails accompanying
the use of ordinary metal ties, such as
are used on railroads in Europe and In
dia.-[ Albany, N. Y, Journal.

Four successive acts of the Tennessee
legislature for the taxing of sleeping cars
doing business within that state have
been overturned by the courts. The act
of 1887 taxing every car $50 was de-
elared unconstitutional by the United
States supxstne court because 1t was an
interfereuae with interstate commerce.
In 1881 ss1 1dt 1880 was levied on
every car doing business in tho
state, and this was similarly treated. :.
In 1887 a tax of $500 an each car
doing business exclusively within the
state was ordered, this referring to only
two cars, and in 1899 tax of $4,000 on
sleeping car companies was levied.
Both the latter acts have recently; been
declared unconstitutional by the Federal
court at Nashville. The court held that
the act as passed taxing sleeping car
companies $4,000 was clearly subterfuge
to tax the two cars doing business exolu-
sively within the state, and was uncon-
stitutional, because the tax was exor-
bltant and did nor apply to railroads and
individuals running sleeping cars.

An Atohiron Deal.

Special to the Gazette. =.
NEW YORK. May 20.-There is good
authority for stating that negotiations of
some sort are now pending between the
Atchison and st. Louis and San Fran
cisco companies relative to the Atlantic
and Pacific. A director OF the At
Gibson Is reported to have said that
he considers it absolutely essential
to the future of the Atchison that it
should nontpol the Atlantic ana. Pacific,
and that the only way to accomplish this
is by securing the 81. Louis and San
Francisco, which road is for sale. The
latter road now operates the finished
portion of the Atlantic and Pacific. The
bonds of the Atlantic and Pacific are
ssyerally guaranteed By the Atchison and
the st. Louis and San Francisco, and
more than half of the capital stock is
owned by the two latter COM
panies together end equally.
Atchson stock which has been
inclined to lsnguish during the past few
days was very strong and active in the
face of a weaker market, chiefly on Bes-
ton buying ST., Louis and San Fran
Cisco and Atlantic and PHoihe securities
were strong and unwontedly active.
In the last hour it was reported that
the Atohison- San Francisco deal had
been contaminated, but Official an
nouncement was not made.

Only the Right of Way Remains AS An OBJ

Special to the Gazette.
WATERFORD, TEX. May 20.-Mr.
L. N. Fouts, general manager of the
Weatherford, Mineral Wells and North
western, returned from Dallas this even
ing. He was seen by THE GAZETTE
correspondent and stated that all de-
lays of the contract for the
building of the road had been
in the arrangements with the contractor,
and that the contract would be signed up
as soon as the right-of-way is secured,
which is the ouly obstacle now in the
way. When enough of ths right-of-
way is secured work on the road will
begin, as the line has been definitely
located. A meeting of citizens was held
this evening st the club rooms,
and the following gentlemen were
appointed rs a committee to raise
the necessary funds with which to defray
the expenses of the right-of-way: J. II.
Caruthers, w. T. Ivy, A. N. Grant and
Mayor NJ. w. Buster. The committee
to secure the right-of-way is composed OF
G. n. Haney, Joe Moore and r. W.
King. All matters will doubtless be ar
ranged in fsw days, when work on the
road will be commenced and completed
by about the middle of August. Every
thing is now delayed for the right-of-
way,

The Burlington Said TO be Contemplating n
Big Fight on Brokers.
The public is waiting for the next rate
to drop. And the public is likely to have
its curiosity satisfied within very short
time. The Burlington has commenced
to wage with great bitterness fight
which has beSn forced upon it, and there
were rumors, apparently well founded :.
afiOat last night that the next shot of
that road will be ST rate to Chicago,
aud Immediately after it will come a 81
rate TO Dsnver. Some such action was
foreshadoRed by a remark dropped
by Col. Dawes on Saturday, that
when the Burlington does cut
the Colorado rate It will cut 1t to
81 at tbs first jump. The Burling-
ton has big fight on Its hands and If it
carries out its plans 1t will make uni-
form rate of 81 all over its system, should
it be necessary in carrying otit lite plans
TO go TO great lengths. The Burlington
is said to have another object besides the
restoration of rates. II Is going to do up
the scalpers. 1t will carry on the 1ght
until the roads are compelled to throw
the brokers overheard. or course, 1t
will be big fight, a harder one to win
than Its memorable warfare on the
order OF railroad engineers, but the
stronger roads could well AFFORD to join
with 1t in its efforts, and TO spend q
goodly sum in knocking out the per-
nicious commission which they have al

and passenger traffic 1912 1856. This
enormous falling of in earnings Is at
tributed to the stoppsge of work on the

to define the position of the engineers in

the policy of the brotherhood is We'll
known. He says he has always advised the
engineers to remain neutral i'll all strikes,
and that the brotherhood as body has
never asked, when on u strike, assistance
from any organization. In regard to
Powdcrly's accusation OF engineers
taking the places of striking
tremcn that, iftrue. the division of which
they are members will deal with them. MIR.
Arthur concludes by wondering il. Mr..
Powdcrly had the Knights expelled who
took the places oft the striking engineers on
