FEDERATED RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.
a Split Results in New Organization BE-
ing Formed.


TERRE HAUTE. Ind, July 2.-The su-
preme council of the Federation of Rail-
way Employees Tuesday took up the ap-
plication of the Order of Railway
Conductors for admission to the fedora
ton. While the matter was under dis
cussion, the officers of the Order of
Railway Conductors withdrew the ap-
plication, their chief reason being the
rejection of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen Monday. The application
of the Order of Railway Telegraphers
was next discussed, and was rejected,
owing to the complications existing be-
tween the Order of Railway Telegraph
ers and Brotherhood of Railway Teleg-
raphers.
The application of the Brotherhood of
Railway Station Masters was next taken
up, and also rejected. One of thereasons
of this rejection is the small member
ship and the poor manner Of organiza-
ton. Shortly after 2 o'clock the council
adjourned until Wednesday.
At noon Messrs. Thurston, of the
Order of Railway Telegraphers, and
William Mitchell. grand secretary and
treasurer of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Stationmen, and other officials of
the same orders, met at the Terre Haute
Hotel and formed an alliance and took
steps toward federation. A meeting
will be held in the near future at which
the arrangements will be perfected for
a second Federation of Railway En-
Moves

HIGHEST IN THE WORLD.
Pixies Peak Railway Successfully Opened.
A Squan ~ Snow.

A SquAil ~ Snow.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, July 2.-The
Pixies Peak railway is now in successful
operation. The first passenger train
reached the summit at $50 Tuesday
afternoon. The train consisted OF an
engine and one car, occupied by sixty
FIVE people, mostly excursionists from
Denver. The lower terminus Of the line
is 6,400 feet above sea-level and the up
per 14,417. The distance is nine miles,
and the steepest grade is rise of one
foot in four. On the way up a light
snow-squall was encountered, and on the
summit the air was unpleasantly cool,
even with heavy overcoats.
The engine used on the train weighs
forty tons. 1t operates by cog-wheels
alone. The rear of the locomotive is
elevated so that the boiler is nearly level
when on the heavist grades. AS the EN-
gine pushes the train uphill instead of
pulling, it has no use for pilot or cow
catcher, " and indeed resembles i'll hardly
any respect the locomotive. The passen-
ger coaches do not differ materially from
the ordinary Pullman coach. but are
constructed so that the passenger may
sit comfortably in horizonal position
when the car is on an incline. Altogether
the line is said to be the most novel, as
well as the highest, railroad in the
world,

Schools for the Blind.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The census
bureau has issued bulletin on the
subject of schools for the blind. 1t ap-
pears that the total number of these
schools in the United States, in 1899.
was 1881, while in 1880 the number was
2.O4l, an increase in the decade of 500
This apparent increase, it is said, is due
to some extent to the increased facili-
ties for the reception and education of
the blind in the schools established for
this purpose. The average annual cost
per pupil in schools for the blind from
1880 to 1890 was 1888.

LONDON, July "A Berlin dispatch
says that the renewal of the triple al
lance is no longer a matter of specula-
ton. Italy's formal adhesion has been
received by both Austria and Germany.
The French government appears to have
had an inkling of what was going on,
and the result has been an increased ir-
ritability in the foreign policy of France,
and renewed efforts to exact pledges of
a cooperation on the part of the car.
BY agreeing to use her fleet in the
Mediterranean to uphold the existing
status, England has practically Joined
the triple alliance, and this fact is also
recognized with deep chagrin in Paris.

deep pleasure yesterday, over the re-
newal of the dreibund, adding that it
went far toward removing the clouds
that obscured the European horizon.

AN AWFUL SIGHT.
THE STORM IN MINNESOTA.
Grain Utterly Ruined by the Dowr
fall of Hail

Grain Utterly Ruined by the Down
fall of Hall.
ST. CLOUD, MIMI. Aug. 15.-The storm
here proves to have been much more serious
than at first supposed. Hail first began to
fall. When the storm, which came from
the north, reached Samuel Gilman's farm,
about three miles northeast Of Sank Rapids,
and from there almost to Elk river in the
extreme southern part Of Sherburne county,
distance of about forty miles, it was q
perfect fury.
In Benton county its width varied from
one-half mile to mile and half and as it
began to spend its force 1t broadened out to
about four miles wide. All the corn and
standing grain in its path were utterly
ruined. Immense stones crushed the grain
into the ground and the shocks also suffered
immensely, that shocked in parallel
rows with no caps heing nearly threshed
out. Grain shocked with caps was not dam
aged SO severely.
Many men in the hay and harvest fields
who were caught were badly bruised and
cut about the head by the devastating down
fall of hail.
Twenty hours after the storms passage.
Capt. William Smith of Minden brought to
this city huge lumps of snow and ice which
ne had picked up on his farm when he
started from home. One hailstone was
about two feet in diameter
NO conservative estimate can be made of
The damage accomplished, but 1t must of
necessity reach into the thousands.
