SNOW FIVE FEET DEEP.
Tremendous Storm in Colorado
Railways Elockaded

Tremendous Storm in Colorado
Railways Rlockaded.
DENVER, COL. Oct. 14.-The Republi
cans special from Cheyenne says: For
nearly two days the severest storm ever
known on the Union Pacific railroad has
beel4 raging here and as far west as Og-
den, Utah. In all directions telegraphic
communication was cut off until late
last night, when this dispatch was sent
through on a Temporary wire. All rail
roads have been blocked, the cuts being
filled with snow, which, in some places,
was piled up eighteen feet. Snow plows
have been hard at work between Gran
lite and Laramie, the snow being five
feet deep on the level at the latter place
The cheyenne Northern is entirely
blocked, telegraphie communication
being cut off. No one knows where the
delayed trains on it are. Two days
have elapsed since the road was showed
in.
1t is estimated that almost third of
the cattle and horses on the ranges have
been destroyed by the storm.

Daniel Declines.

Senator John w. Daniel declines to
take the place of Mr.. Breckenridge as
one of the orators of the day at the ded-
ication of the Worlds Fair buildings at
Chicago next week.
We do not yet know his reasons, but
we doubt not that he dislikes the treat
ment which Mr.. Breckenridge has re-
ceived at the hands of the Chicago press
.ecause of his vote on the appropriation
asked of Congress for the fair.
The country will have to put curb on
chicago if Chicago doesn't put curb
upon some of it's newspapers.
Several of these newspapers make it
their business to misrepresent every
thing and every man of the South, and
one OF them has also distinguished itself
of late by circulating the story that Mr..
Cleveland was uncivil to Miss Winnie
Davis at the Richmond fair in 1887, a
story which General Fitz Lee contra
dicted and thoroughly exploded in
letter published in the Richmond Dis
Datch last week.

The New locomotive.

| With the object of getting the time be-
tween Jersey City and Philadelphia
down to ninety minutes the Pennsylva-
mia Railway Company has had construc-
ted big locomotive, an account of
which will set our readers to thinking.
Few of us are aware OF the immense
weights that go into the locomotive of
the present day, or, for that matter, into
the trains they pull. A fast train of six
Pullman's, without passengers, weighs,
engine and all, about 100000 pounds
Such is the weight the modern train
dashes against the supports of the mod
ern bridge. Some trains weigh 1,0OO,O 600
pounds and their momentum when go
ing at speed of forty miles an hour is
something fearful,
But the new locomotive, with the
train it is to pull, will leave all trains
with which we are acquainted far in the
rear. 1t is, to be the heaviest engine
ever built, having the largest driving
wheels ever used in this country and a
higher boiler pressure. 1t weighs 1857
900 pounds, or III tons. With its tender
ready for service, it weighs $4,000
pounds, or 112 tons. Its. driving wheels,
four in number on each side, have
diameter of seven feet. The boiler pres
sure is 200 pounds to the square inch. 1t
has two cylinders, the one 19a and the
other 81 inches in diameter, with pis-
ton stroke of % inches. The boiler, 5
feet in diameter and 81 feet long, is 81
feet above the rail. The engine is made
on the compound principle and will
make speed of 100 miles an hour. AS
this speed is double that of the ordinary
so-called "fast" train, the public will be
able to appreciate it. A good roadbed
is the necessary condition of high speeds. |
With heavy steel rails, sound ties and |
well-metaled roadway a speed of 100 |
miles an hour would be as safe as 20 |
miles an hour on an inferior track

The Homestead Indictments.

From the Iowa State Register. -
1t is a matter of congratulation that H.
G. Prick and the men associated with
him in the management of the Home
ste I'd mills have been indicted together
with the so-called provisional committee
which undertook to govern the town of
Homestead without warrant of law. 1t
is to be hoped that all will be held
strictly accountable for their acts In
this country men, W b e t h e they
ire million aires or paupers, cannot be
allowed to assume the functions of gov
eminent on their own motion. If there
is not law enough to punish rich men
for importing a private army the laws
should be changed. Such powers
cannot be delegated. Neither can strik-
ers be allowed to assume powers which
only belong to the duly constituted gov
eminent. The Homestead trouble is to
be regretted, it was done in the heat of
excitement, but the Government must
vindicate itself if it would continue to
hold the respect of the people.

Mr.. Cleveland Declines to Go.

Good sense and fine feeling character
ize Mr.. Cleveland's letter declining to
attend the dedication ceremonies of the
Columbian Exposition at Chicago. He
wouldlike to attend if he could do 80 with
out having his motives misrepresented
and impugned. Being candidate for
the presidency, his going to Chicago
would be regarded by political oppo-
nents as political tour. 1t would fur
Their be objected that in going he was
taking advantage of President Harri-
sons detention at Washington by his
wife's illness. Mr.. Cleveland according
ly asks his Chicago friends sin the light
of conside rate and sympathetic senti-
ment" to excuse his non-attendance. He
is not a practicer of the demagogue's
arts. 1t is not in his nature to snatch
at an advantage presented by the mis-
fortunes of his opponent.-Baltim

From the Brunswick News.
\ Kansas man who has been affiliating
with the Alliance party of that State
for the past few years, having served
his allegiance thereto, thus briefly gives

8. BY preachers without pulpits;
4. By women without husbands;
5. By farmers without farms;
6. By financiers without finance;

The Land Court.

The U. s, court Of private land claims has
been in session at Denver for several days,
hearing the noted case of the Algodones
Land company against the United States.
C. NJ. Sanford, OF Prescott, A. T., and
Geo. Hill Howard, of Santa Fe, represent
ed the land company and Matt &. Rey-
nolds, assisted by Francis j. HeDly, OF
Tucson, appeared for the government.
The land involved is the Ell Paso de las
Algodones ranch in southern Arizona.
1t extends for fifteen miles along the
Colorado river, and includes the town
of Yuma and some OF the finest sgricul-
tural land in the southwest. The land
company contends that the property was
granted to Spaniard named Rodrigues
in 1888 while the United States officials
claim the alleged grant is base forgery.
Mr.. Howard retired last night from Den
yer and he says majority OF the court
ruled against the land company, sustain.
ing the charge of fraud in the original
grant, and that the case will be appealed
to the U. S. supreme court. Chief Justice
Reed, who went to Arizona and Mexico
and examined the original documents in
the grant, and Justice Stone, the Colo.
RADIO member of the court, rendered an
opinion dissenting from that by Justices
Sluss, Fuller and Muarry, and held the
grant as valid. The court did not enter
into the law questions involved. Mr.
Howard has strong hopes of winning the
case in the supreme court.

ROADS TO The PEC0S.
The New Trail Quite Too Expensive an
Undertaking. Shortening the
Route to Glorieta.

E. NJ. Albright, the mountaineer, came
over from the Pecos yesterday, having
examined tho route OF the proposed new
trail over which the county commission
ers had hopes Of constructing shorter
wagon road to the valley of the clear
waters and excellent trout fishing. Mr..
Albright's report, however, is rather dis
couraging. He found so much heavy
timber in the Holy Ghost creek route,
and so much of it fallen timber, that he
estimates it would require $500 to open
even burro trail. A wagon road would
cost fully $4,000, so that is out of the
question. 1t 10 not likely that the expen-
diture of $500 would open a new trail that
would be much of an improvement over
the existing trail by way of Ell Macho or
the northern trail via Tesuque canon and
Windsor creek Accordingly, the propo-
sition to open new trail will have to be
given up.
Those contemplating visit to the Pc
cos will be glad to learn in this connec-
ton that Peter Powers, of Glorieta, has
repaired the original Pecos road which
cuts of at least two miles of the distance
between here and the Pecos via Glorieta.
This trip can be made by good team in
four hours or less-Mr. Powers drives
from Glorietta to Santa Fe in three hours

Herewith they bounded off the track.
The train was running at good speed and
