Cramer and the county surveyor OF Garfield
county, who left three weeks ago, have re-
turned, having completed the work Of settling
definitely the question Of the county boundary
line between Eagle and Garfield counties.
The result of the survey is most satisfactory
to the people here, as Eagle county acquires
much additional valuable ranching property
and some two and one-half miles Of railroad,
representing an increase of revenue Of some.

A MARROW ESCAPE.
A Diabolicai Attempt to Wreck the
Cheyenne -Denve Train.

A Diabolicai Attempt to Wreck the
Cheyenne Denver Train.
A desperate attempt was made Thursday
evening to wreck the Union Pacific passcn
ger train from Cheyenne, which arrived at
the Union depot in Denver at z: 80 O'Clock.
A big beam had been laid upon the track In
the way Of the train at point about half way
between Greeley and Evans. Tho beam was
fastened TO the track so securely that II took
some time to clear away the obstruction.
The obstruction was discovered by q local
bicyclist, who discovered 1t while riding along
parallel with the road.
The attempt was discovered by chance and
tho train tagged. Robbery is believed to be
the object Of those who fastened the beam
there There were about two hundred people
on the train, and II the attempt to wreck IT
had not been discovered many lives would have
beeh lost.
The general opinion Of the detectives and
those on the train was that a hold-up Of the
train had been planned. Tho spot where
the attempt had been made to derail 1t Ia
an ideal one for that purpose, as 1t is most
.onely.

Eighteen Hundred Men Quit Work, Claim.

lated its Agreemo
A general strike was ordered on the Lchigh
Valley road Saturday night The reason is
the company's refusal to recognize any COM
mittee or body of men as the representatives
Of the employees of the road. After repeated
attempts made BY the grand officers Of the
several railway organizations to gain audi
ences with the officials Of the road, and after
. subcommittee from the general committee
sitting at the Bingham House, Philadelphia,
composed Of bona fde employees Of the road,
had failed to secure recognition from the
roads highest representative in Philadelphia
First Vice President Voorhees, further
consultation was held among the grand OIL.
GERS Of the organized train-workers, and the
order TO quilt work was telegraphed to all the
employees along the line Of the road.
The result was general strike was declared.
The road had begun to get tied up at 1880
o'clock, and BY daylight not wheel is ex-
pected to be moving on any part Of the en-.
tire system. Eighteen hundred and ten men,
employed In all the mechanical part OF the
running Of railroad, were idle at daybreak.
Chairman wilkins Of the strikers commit
tee said: "The company has abrogated its
agreement with US made last August II the
officers will simply live up to what they
agreed to no further trouble will ensue.
The chief grievance seems to be the refusal
Of the company to recognize the employees

COMMISSIONER LOCHREN.

The latest bit of gossip is that Co m
missioner Lochren is tired of his new
Job and is threatening to resign, and
also that the Issuing of that famou:
suspension order was not his work at
all, that he simply accepted the idea Of
clerks and promulgated it without I'M
Outstanding its sweeping effect. No
wonder he is weary.
Pension Commissioner Lochren has
shown his disposition to be fair with the
pensioners by ordering the discontinu,
ance of the old practice of the pension
bureau which suspends the payment of
pension during inquiry as to the right
of pensiOner to the rate he has been
receiving.-Boston Herald.
Commissioner Lochren, in an order
just promulgated, directs that pension
be issued where a combination of dis
abilities shall exist sufficient to prevent
the applicant from earning livelihood,
even though the disabilities in them
selves might not be pensionable. The
equity of this ruling is too clear fol-
question, and its legality is equally in
dispurable. In fact, it is directly in
line with the spirit of the disabilit y
act, and for that matter with the entire
order of pension legiSlation.-Phi
delphia Record.
1t Is great folly to seek to misrepre
sent the efforts of the present pension
department to make the pension list {
roll of honor. There has not been &
single pension suspended that was moi
suspended by Republican board, anC
upon cause which fully justified it.
This should be commended rather thar
com planned of by every true soldier. j
means that the pension laws shall BIZ
administered in liberal spirit, and tina
no wrong shall come to any veteran wht
has just claims upon the generosity o.
