surprise at the residence of Mr.. Joseph
Proctor, one of the employees in his de-
partment. where a large number of car
penters. painters, track men, inspectors
and other workmen in this department of
the service had met for the purpose of pre-
senting to Mr.. Smith an elegant silver
tureen as token of the esteem In which he
has been held by all the men employed
under his Jurisdiction. 1t is not too much
to say for Mr.. Smith that his urbane man
ners, good discipline and thorough knowl-
edge of his business as master car builder
have won for him the good viii of all who
have the pleasure of his acquaintance.
The occasion of this social gathering,
where generous supper was partaken of,
was to all present regrettable one. For
several months past a number of changes
have been made, some of which affected
him unfavorably, so much so that he con-
ciuGed TO change his location in the service
II such a change would meet the
approval of the proper authorities. He
soon learned that his wishes were regarded
respectfully, and a position assigned him
on the east end Of the system.
The evening was spent in short speeches,
sentiment and song until late hour. All
were well pleased and gratitied with the
evenings entertainment, and none more so
than Mr.. Smith, his amiable wife and eX
emplary son and daughter.
Mr.. Smith and family left for Omaha
Saturday.

A Big Car Famine Threatened.

From the present indications the crops
west of the Mississippi river will be so
great that there are not enough cars owned
by the railroads of the United States to
move them, and car famine is absolutely
certain, unless something should intervene
to cause the crop to be failure. The crop
of wheat in Texas alone will he far
beyond the capacity of any of the roads to
handle, even if they had quadruple
the amount of rolling stock they now
possess. The question already stares the
railroad companies i'm the face, and they
are beginning to prepare to handle the bus
mess as best they may. The Fort Worth
roads find themselves handicapped by the
la ck of elevator facilities. especially the
Denver, the Katy and the Santa Fe, and
will consequently be unable TO handle near
the amount Of grain that would be possible
if the elevator facilities were provided. 1t
has been suggested by some of the railroad
officials that the best thing the farmer can
do is to stock his grain and thresh it only
as there is opportunity for its removal.
Properly stacked, the grain can safely
stand for months, whereas if allowed to re-
main in shocks il is very liable to injury
from rains. If the grain is threshed the
storage facilities are inadequate. While
the roads will use every effort in their
power to handle the grain, they are utterly
unable to cope with the demand. The es-
timated yield along the Fort Worth &
Denver railway alone is, at the least calcu-
lation, 8, go, 900 bushels, while the proba-
bility is it will be nearer 6,000, 600 bushels.
This grain will commence to move by the
latter part of July. Less than one-tfth of
it will be out of the way when the
corn crop will begin to move. What is to
be done with the grain, unless several large
elevators are constructed at once, no one
can predict. Ali this grain on the Denver
alone must come to Fort Worth. Grain
don't move up hill, especially as Colorado
will raise all she needs for home
consumption. 1t is reported that
the Denver Transcontlnental, the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas and the Santa Fe
are considering the construction of an i'm
mense joint elevator, with ], 800, 600 capa-
city, but nothing definite could be learned
about the project.

Mr.. KOrty's Views.

l.. II. Korty, superintendent Of the
Union Pacific's telegraph lines, is III the
city with the Dillon party. He has been
with the party twenty-one years, having
lived in Omaha nineteen years. Mr.. Korty
has nearly eight thousand miles of tele-
graph lines under his charge, which gives
employment &c about thirteen hundred
operators in seven hundred different offices.
The salaries of operators in this western
country vary from $50 to S75 per month,
according TO the responsibility of the posi-
ton and the ability OF the operator. AT all
the small stations the agents do the work
of operator in addition to their other duties.
within the last year we have intro
duced in Kansas and Nebraska" said Mr.
Korty, "a telegraph call bell which can be
set to ringing by the train dispatcher or
other Officer on the line by a certain
signal"
The purpose OF the apparatus is to en-
able the dispatcher TO wake up the day
operator at a station where no night man
is employed, or to call the attention of the
day operator to the instrument where his
6utieS require him to be beyond the reg
ular telegraph instrument. There IS a
distinct signal for each one of these bells
which after it has been made with the tele-
graph key by the dispatcher, the bell at
the station is set off and the signal is au-
tomatically repeated assuring the train dis.
patcher that mis- signal has taken effect
The bell keeps on ringing until the op
orator stops il and answers the dispatcher's
call 1t is regarded as one Of the most
valuable inventions recently introduced
into the railway telegraph service"

FLASIG IN THE TOLLS
He is Charged With COnspiring
10 Defraud.
He Will he Given Preliminary Hearing
This Morning 1t Is a Very
Peculiar case.

N. A. Flasig, who was recently the sub
iect Of an Associated Press dispatch pub
lished in the coast papers stating that he
had ruined his partner in Seattle by dis
posing of all the firms effects, came to
grief here yesterday. 1t seems that in
September last a man named WAGNER
went to George Farnham, of this city, and
asked him TO endorse draft on F'lasig Tor
800. Mr.. Farnham telezraphed to tie
latter at Seattle, and F'lasig replied tina,
the draft was o. K. With this understand
ing, MIR. Farnhsm indorsed the draft,
but when it was sent to Seattle,
F'lasig refused to honor it and
Farnham finally had to pay tine $780,
He considered it swindle put up by Wag-
ener and Flasig, and when he saw F'lasig on
the streets yesterday he lost no time in
swearing out a complaint before Commits
sioDer Wolcott, charging him with conspir-
ing to defraud. The matter was placed in the
hands Of the Franks Detective agency and
Flasig was quickly arrested by Messrs.
Franks and Gleason. He gave bonds to
secure his appearance for examination, and
in the meantime Mr.. Franks has tele-
graphed to Chicago and Seattle, in both of
which places Flasig is said to be wanted.
