AT the Burlington yard, last week, a party
of about forty prominent railroad men as
sembled to watch the practical test of the
Dunn automatic car coupler, which is being in
troduced by the Universal Car Coupler COM
pany, local corporation. The most trying
: experiments were made with view to fully
ascertaining the exact value of the invention
in actual service on the road. All degrees of
curves were run and the cars were coupled
and uncoupled upon them and all sorts of
sudden and unusual strains were put upon the
appliances, but in every case they worked per-
fectly and gave great satisfaction. The coup
lers which were used in the experiments have
had steady and trying work on the Stag train,
: SO their strength has been amply demonstrat-
ed.-Denver News.
The rule of Nebraska railroads which limits
local tickets to the day upon which they are
purchased is to be tested in the courts. Under
this rule, which went into effect nearly year
ago, parties purchasing local tickets must use
them the same day or forfeit the privilege of
using them. Local agents are permitted to
refund the money for unused tickets within
three days, after which time they must go
through the red tape process in the general
offices. A citizen of Hardy purchased ticket
for Superior on April IS, but did not use it.
Several weeks later he presented it to the
agent at Hardy and asked for new ticket or
his money. Both were refused. He then
boarded the cars and offered the ticket. The
conductor refused it and demanded fare. Not
receiving it he elected the passenger, who
} now brings suit for damages. 1t is hardly
: probable that the courts will sustain the rule.
