The Pacific Railways.

The proposed settlement of the Pacific
railroad debts is sensible one. If ac-
cepted, it will prove gain to both parties.
The government would gain by the in
creased security. The present mortgage
is wholly inadequate to meet the indebted
ness of either road. 1t covers only part
of the lines; in the case of the Central
Pacific, very unproductive part, says an
exchange. The proposed plan includes
many branches and connecting lines under
the new mortgages, and gives the govern
ment rights of action against whole sys-
TENS instead of isolated portions The
gain to the railroads is no less conspicuous.
While foreclosure under present circum-
stances would not protect the government,
it would ruin the investors in the compan-
les. If on the other hand, the Union Pa
chic is allowed to postpone payment of its
Indebtedness at per cent annual interest,
the investors are at least partially protec-
ted, and the government gets more money
than it would by undertaking to foreclose.
We dislike the statement that the govern
ment gets the full value of the debt. In
terest at per cent. on this kind of security
is not full value. But we think that the
government obtains all it can, and that by
claiming more it would actually get less
The main thing is to get all we can, rather
than to resist on all we think we ought to
have. The Central Pacific interest is fixed
at 2 per cent. instead of 3. Two per cent
on the debt of the lines covered by the
Central Pacific mortgage would undoubt.
edly be a heavier burden than per cent
on the Union Pacific. The railroad author
tiles seem doubtful whether they can pay
it. But we think they will. Although the
Southern Pacific company may not be
making much out of the Central Pacific
just now, it cannot afford to have that par
ticular line across the Sierra Nevada go our
of its hands. What the Central Pacific
makes now is no measure of whatit might
make if allied to the Union Pacific instead
of to the Southern Pacific; still less is it
measure of what the Southern Pacifi,
would lose by a change of that kind
Rather than face such contingency w,
have not the slightest doubt that the South
ern Pacific managers would accept the
terms proposed by the present bill.

Long Runs on the N.Y.C.R.R

:. The New York Central has for some time
been running passenger conductors and
lrakemen through between New York and
buffalo on three trains each way, daily, and
through crews have now been put upon
Tour others, making fourteen trains which
aow make the run of 439 miles daily, each
with single crew. These trains all run at
high speed, and most of the trips are COM
pleted in twelve or thirteen hours, if no
delays occur. One, however, takes fifteen
hours. Each crew makes about one and
three-quarters round trips per week; that

Additional Trackage for 1890.

A leading steel manufacturer of Pitts
burg gives some interesting data regard
ing the additional trackage decided upon
by the trunk lines of the country this year.
He said:
''rhere will be needed million tons of
steel rails This quantity of material, de-
ivered, will cost about sS5,OOO,0OO Add to
hat the cost of fish bars, frogs, switches,
;ies, grading and laying of material, and
The total amount which will be spent will
not fall short of Sl00,0O0,0O0. The Penn
sylvania company lines will need about
$4,000 tons. Other roads, including the
Baltimore & Ohio, Lake Erie & Pittsburg
and Western, will need $4,000 or CO., 600 tons
more. Add to that the amount needed by
other eastern roads, the Vanderbilt system.

FORTY CENT SHOES.
A Tale of an Innocent Sailor and Frisk
,Frfsco ShOpman.

A Tale of an Innocent Sailor and FrisEy
Frisco Shopman.
There is brisk competition among the
little stores on Pacific street near the
water front, where the seamen buy their
oilskin coats, sea boots and other neces-
sary articles of marine apparel. The
merchants bait hooks to catch customers.
All they want is to have a man stop to
look at their wares; they trust to their
own noble persuasive powers for the rest.
Long sticks strung about with shoes de-
pend from the awnings. On one of these
sticks, clustered all over with nice look
ing stout CATERS, hung this placard yes
terday: ''Forty cents pair" The pro-
prietor lay low in the dusky interior of
his shop. A seaman halted and looked
at the placard with surprise at the forty
cent shoes, worth $3.50 anywhere else.
He was in the act of reaching to feel the
leather when Mr.. Jacobs darted into the
light, rubbing his hands and smiling and
asking in seductive accents what he
could show the gentleman in the way of
the finest and cheapest clothing on the
whole front.
"Why, them there shoes O yourn, y
began the sailor, but Mr.. Jacobs wanted
to talk about anything but shoes.
The contest lasted ten minutes. Still
the mariner, though often decoyed away
from leather, always returned to it.
"See here, uncle" he said at last, pre-
pairing to move off, "Tll take pair O
Them forty cent shoes if you'll warrant
them"
''Forty cent shoes3 Who ever heard Of
such thing as forty cent shoes?"
The tarry finger pointed at the large
placard.
What strange mistake! Mr.. Jacobs
was amused. He ran his fingers along
the string supporting the placard ant
showed that it led to a rusty pair of car
pet slippers which the shoes had bidder
from view. @
The sailor was mad, but fifteen min
utes later he had a large bundle unde
his arm, and Mr.. Jacobs shook hand
affably as he handed him his change

The Boiler on a r. G. w. Passen-

THREE MEN INJURED, ONE BADLY.
The Car Badly Damaged-The Cause Found in
the Frozen Pipes-0ther News
of the Roads.

A singular accident occurred at the Rio
Grande Western depot yesterday morning,
and it is almost miraculous that it did not
result very seriously. The regular pas
sepger train which should have left for
Ogden at 80 being late, special consist
ing of an engine, baggage car and one
passenger coach was made up and pulled
out at $50 with about dozen passengers,
including one lady, on board.
The train had not left the switch when
the boiler connected with the steam heat
ing apparatus
EXPLODED WITH A LOUD REPORT
which could be heard for several blocks.
Pieces Of casing were scattered in all di-
4 rections, the windows were broken, seats
were overturned and a big hole was torn
in the roof of the car. The passengers
scarcely understood what had happened,
and there was a stampede for thedoors.
They were all pretty well shaken up and
several were considerably bruised, and
three men were rather seriously injured.
j. w. Levy, commercial man from
Sacramento was struck in the head by two
pieces Of flying casing, and was taken out
of the car unconscious. He was at once
conveyed to the Sisters hospital, and after
his injuries had been attended to, was
taken to the Continental, where he will re
main until he is able to travel.
S. Harley, of New York, was standing
within few feet of the boiler at the time
of the explosion, and was slightly injured
about the head and hip. His overcoat was
ripped and slashed by pieces of flying wood
and he considers himself a very lucky MAJ

u A stranger named Edwin Frederick, was
injured more severely than any Of the
theirs. He was
STRUCK IN THE HEAD
by piece of casing and received an ugl!
wound, and was also injured internally
He was at once taken to st. Mary's hos
pital, where DIR. Fowler attended to him
and at last accounts he was doing well.
1t seems that the water in the radiato
and pipes was not run off when the fir
was lighted under the boiler, and as thu
steam could not get through the pipes, tn
explosion followed. The car, of course
was badly damaged.

the last of the series two or three more

l.
Away Yesterday.
Marie A. Braslan, wife of c. p. Bras
Ian, of the firm of Northrop, Braslan &
Goodwin, died at the family residence,
1906 Fifth avenue south. yesterday after
noon at $50 O'Clock of spinal menin-
gifts. She was taken suddenly i'll a
week ago last Thursday, and so serious
y as to lose consciousness, remaining
IN that condition until death relieved
her sutferlngs. Mrs. Braslan was
twenty-nine years old, and a daughter
of DR.. Albert Moran, of Boston. one of
the. widest-knoWn professional men
in the Atlantic states. She was Of
cheerful and lovable disposition,
of great mental capacity, and
a leader in Minneapolis society, where
she was ever great favorite, both for
her brilliant mind and her entertaining
manners. She was an earnest worker
in all charitable movements, and took
the lead in many of the local societies
with which she was identified. To-
gether with her husband, who is nearly
distracted over her death, boy six
years old, and a girl of four, mourn the
loss of kind and loving mother. The
sad affair is deplored by large circle
of friends and acquaintances, who have
held her-in high esteem for her many
superior qualities, both as lady and a
Christian. The remains will be taken

ORGANIZED AND ATE.
Formation of a Press Club With
an Active Member ship.

an Active Member ship.
Once again since newspapers have
been printed in Minneapolis this city
has press club. 1t was organized at a
meeting of the newspaper workers held
at the Chrysanthemum club yesterday
afternoon, and starts on it's career
under good auspices. There is every
reason for believing that it will.
At 80 D. m. about thirty-fve men,
most of them from the daily press, as
sembled in the dining room at the
Chrysanthemum club and proceeded to
discuss both the dinner and business.
When it was time for the cigars Charles
ALT Williams, OF the Tribune, was
elected chairman and the ball0ting for
president began. After several ballots
DR.. Albert Shaw, of the Tribune,
was chosen president, his election
being made unanimous. Vice presi-
deHt was next in order. and r. b.
Geiatt, of the Times, was elected by
reclamation. 1t was the sense of the
meeting that for secretary either a
weekly or an evening newspaper man
must be chosen, as they have the most
leisure time, and G. V. Barton, of the
Journal, took the place by unanimous
consent. j. Newton Mind came IN just
in time to be elected treasurer, and
seemed good deal disappointed when
he discovered that there would be no
hustling after monthly dues and stand
ing off collectors connected with the
position. An executive committee COM
posed of representatives of all the
papers will be appointed by the presi-
dent.
The weeklies were repsented by
j. Newton Mind, Fl. P. Robinson, II. H.
s. ROwell, Fred Clark and Luth
Jaeger. At this meeting there was
probably larger turnout Of the news
paper men of the city than ever befOr g,
and the chances for permanent or
ganiZation being formed are good. 1t
has not been decided yet where the
club will meet.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The BijOu had the usual Sunday night
crowded house last night to witness the
first production here of the spectacular
drama, "Fabio Romani," with Alden
Benedict in the title role. The story is
an account of an Italian vendetta of
some 100 years ago, and is full of love.
revenge, self-sanrifice and heroism. Mr..
Benedict made a good impression, al
though some scenes of the play are
rather chilling, and his support was in
the main satisfactory. The scenic eff
fects were unusually good.
The first act in 1.-THE Two Sisters, T"
which opens weeks engagement at
the Grand tonight, has been described
as being full of merriment; the second
act short melodrama in rare picture
representing part of Central park,
warm with the summer sunshine: the
third act novel and the prettiest kind
of a lOvemaking scene, and the last act
pathetic human little comedy drama.
Tears, laughter and applause cannot
but get intermingled before such a
wholesome complete exhibition of the
tenderest and most natural bond of
human sympathy.
