AS consequence of the retrenchment of
the Burlington, Operator Ready of McCook
has been transferred to this Office as night
operator and "Bill Nye" goes back to his old
job of checking cars.-Akron Republican.
We hear it stated that the pay roll of the
western division will be reduced to the extent
OF 600 men by the time the order for retrench-
ment has been fully carried into effect. We
look for this condition to be only temporary,
however.
If the railroads intend to do anything to-
ward getting the people to the Worlds Fair,
they should do the big thing. They should
not presume that one excursion train a week
will fill the bill, nor cover their tickets with
petty conditions, nor be afraid of the scalpers
Each road should make its point on the num-
Der of passengers it can land safely and speed
lily in Chicago and take away again during
the continuance Of the worlds fair.
Every class of laborers have way of using
slang expressions in connection with their
duties that to outsider is unintelligible, says
the Alliance Grip, but this letter from brake
man to his best girl puzzled her: "My dear,
pushed the cars face yesterday while the
headscrew fogged-the eagle eye, and they
told the sup, who put us on the carpet and
put the can on us. l will have to Law over on
the ly-by to clear muzzled for ten days, and
will be down to see you soon''
Tuesday afternoon as No. was approach
ing Yuma, Colorado, the rear Pullman car
left the track, broke away from the rest of
the train, and run out onto the prairie a car
length or two, not even turning over, and not
IN the least injuring any one of the four occu-
pants of the car. The track was disturbed
somewhat and the car was considerably dam
aged, the train being under full speed at the
time. The train was only delayed a few
minutes. The first report received here was
to the effect that the entire train, save the en-
gine, was in the ditch, and great excitement
prevailed and much activity was exercised in
preparations to go to the scene of the sup
posed disaster with the wrecker, physicians,
etc. This false impression was soon dissipa-
ted, however. The wrecker left for Yuma,
later in the afternoon to get the Pullman back
onto the track and ready to forward the car
to the Pullman works for repairs. 1t was an
other fortunate escape for fated No g. Con-
ductor ]. 81. Burns was in charge of the train,
and Engineer B. H. Douglass was at the
throttle. The cause of the accident is not
definitely known, but is probably the result of
spreading of the rails, it being in the locality
where new and heavier steel has recently
been laid.
