IN RAILWAY CIRCLES
Charles Francis Adams Being
Roundly Scored.
THAT RETRENCHMENT POLICY
Jay Gould on the ''Gentleman's Agreement
Pointer for Local Roads-Personal
and General.

If Charles Francis Adams ever had an
idea that he was a popular railway man,
the illusion has been dispelled by this time.
In Salt Lake, the news of his resignation
was received with great satisfaction; IN
Denver, some of the officials who had
worked under him for Il number Of years
celebrated his decapitation by royal ban
quet and INDUCED in high iinks generally.
From all sections of the broad and mighty
west comes the refrain, "Thank God, he's
gone" Even the eastern papers, now that
the man is dead, indulge in the satisfaction
of giving him sly kick. Here is
the latest slap that has come under
our notice. It is from the RdiIlpdy Igc
1t is not a pleasant thing to say, but it is
the truth, that the retirement of MIR.
Charles Francis Adams from the presi-
dency of the Union Pacific railway COM
pany will cause little regret, except among
those whose connection with the road Is
due to the favor of the president rather
than their own abilities. During the six
years and half of Mr.. Adams rule the
Union Pacific service has been character
lied by changes, uncertainties, jealousies,
disappointments, dissatisfaction and fall
ures that have made it notorious in rail
way circles

MYSTIC sHRINER,s TRIBUTE,

The members of the Ancient Arabic
Order of the Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine
stopped over in Salt Lake, about the first
of August, while on their way to San
Francisco. They were met by the mem
bers OF Ell kalah Temple, on their arrival
in this city, and others of our citizens, and
received such welcome, and enjoyed
themselves so heartily during their stay in
Salt Lake, that the incidents Of their visit
Will long remain green in their memories.
AS an appreciation of Salt Lake kindness,
the New York lodge has sent handsomely
framed steel plate engraving OF pillars and
scrolls bearing Arabic hierogliphics unin-
telligible to those not initiated in the mys-
terles of the order. In the center are in
scribed the following words, bearing the
signatures of the potentate, recorder and
others:

their generous hospitality and kpightly

Frank B. Drake, general manager of thu

The Erennent Smashnns

Tho 4mcriccn MdchiniSt says: While it
has not been noticed that railroad smash
ups are becoming any less numerous, it is
an undoubted fact that explosions of loco
motive boilers are getting more common.
The record of the past three months will,
we should say, beat any previous record in
that line. The record for letting go of
saw-mill boilers and the boilers of thresh
ing machines has not been reached in the
instance of the locomotive, but good pro-
gress has been made towards reaching it.
Locomotive boilers are built, as rule, with
fairly large margin in the direction of
safety. There is no reason in the world
why this should not be so, because the
weight is needed to provide traction But
locomotive boilers are hard worked

Obcyed Orders.

A colored domestic in one of the fami-
lies of this city is wonder of obedience
and good nature. She was upstairs and
her mistress called to her:
'Aunt Mary, come here! I want you
to hurry, too"
Aunt Mary started with more effort at
haste than actual success. She had left
bit of soap on one of the higher steps,
and it sent her humping down the stairs
in most startling manner. When she
struck the hall floor she picked herself
up and answered all the excited inquir-
les as to her condition with the mere re-
mark, accompanied by grin:
Il reckon yer tole me ter hurry down,
didn' yer?"-Washington Post.

The Plan of Retrenchment.

The plan of retrenchment inaugurated
by both the Rio Grande Western and the
Union Pacific roads goes steadily on. The
Western, however, is not gong to the same
extremes as the Union Pacific. In both
local offices, there is still feeling of un-
easiness, an ill-defned fear that
something just what no one
knows = is going to happen, and
that it is likely to occur at any time. The
two Rio Grande Western claim clerks who
recently resigned their positions were Bor
land and Lands, not Crompton, as hereto
fore stated. n gentleman on the inside of
the Rio Grande Western says the force at
the auditors Office has been increased, OF
late, aud that the business of the road is
simply phenomenal. Why a plan of re-
trenchment should have been decided upon
under these circumstances is mystery.
From all important points on the line Of
the Union Pacific there comes news of the
reduction of the forces in the shops-prob-
ably the result of the recent visit of Mr..
Holcomb. Jay Gould says the move has
been made without his orders, and that he
knows nothing about it. The western man
ayers are to blame.
