The favorite OF nlddle.aged and
young Virginia is General "Fitz" Lee.
II he has an enemy in the State no
man knows who it IS, says Richmond
correspondent of the New York Times.
General Lee was one of the most
promising young officers OF the Ia
nous Secord Cavalry in the old army, !
before he became an officer OF the
Confederacy. He had been in half
dozen ugly Indian fights even then.
AT the famous action at Wichita VII

Van Dorm, with four troops Of regl-
ment, fought 900 Comanche, Lipau
and ArApahoe warriors, and but for
his sagacity would have met with the
fate OF General Custer in his last
fight. Fitzhugh Lee distinguished
himself
Towards the close Of the action he
was struck in the side by an Indian
arrow. After walking about for half
an hour after the fight was over he
got tired Of the thing sticking out,
and it began to hurt. too. So he wait

BACK TO LARGE CYLINDERS.
Northern Pacific Giving Its Locomo
tives Greater Capacity.

Northern Pacific Giving It's Locomos
tives Greater Capacity.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Company
received lot of engines in 1890 with
62-inch driving wheels and cylinders 19x24
inches. The wheels of these engines are
being changed 10 81 inches and the cylin-
ders to 1915 inches, with the same stroke.
The cylinders were made originally thick
enough to stand reboring. This change
has given the engines greater capacity,
and twenty-four cars can now be hauled
on divisions where eighteen was the Limits
before
This is an interesting evidence of the
fact that in some cases locomotives have
been built with too small cylinders. Evil
dence has been coming in during the past
two years that when the reduction in CYL
inder volume was made in locomotives in
this country about five years ago. it was
carried too far by some. and it has been
found that the single expansion iocomo-
tives which have the largest cylinders
make the best showing in competition
with compounds. Probably this results
from the greater expansion obtained with
the larger cylinders.
1t has become quite evident from certain
notable cases that the size of the cylinders
is not entirely independent of the work to
be done. and locomotives working on
heavy grades should have considerably
larger cylinders than engines Of the Same
weight used on comparatively level track.

A snow Plow Driven by Two Engines
Nearly Wreckei-Eour Men Iniured.

CoULEE CITY. Feb. A. Special. FRIDAY
afternoon a snow pillow left here to clean
the track between Coulee City and Cheney.
The head engine was in charge of Engi-
neer G.. H. Brown and Fireman Bob
Damon. and the pusher was manned by
Engineer Jack Smith and Fireman Jake
Herider Ali went well until heavy
drift was struck nine miles east of this
place, when the engines, going at the rate
OF sixty mics an hour, struck the snow
and came to a dead standstill. The stop
was so short that the force sent the engine
back on the front tender.
The ia- was so sudden that the coal on
the back tender was thrown against the
boiler with such force that Fireman Jake
Her;der was pinned tight to the boiler. and
was badly bruised about the legs with the
coal and burnt from the boiler before re-
leased from his perilous position, and En-
gineer Smith was hurled bodily through
the cab window. Engineer Brown and
Fireman Damon were at tirst supposed to
he buried beneath the engine, but were
afterwards found unconscious in the snow
bank.
Conductor Mnehan, who was in charge
of the snowplow train, jumped ont of the
on run across the prairie wildly and
fu-iously, and has not reported for duty
yet. 1t is supposed that he has not yet
got over the scare. Thomas Block, road
master, who was also in the cupalo when
the shock came. received a severe blow on
the head and was unconscious for short
time, but recovered quickly. For such q
reriious accident il was almost a miracle
tha, the men escaped with their lives and
only lew bruises and burns. The trail
ing engine. in charge OF Conductor I. L.
Downs and Engineer Gates, came TO the
rescue in 4 short time and helped 10 rescue
the men from their periloUs position in the
sCald!ng steam that was then escaping.
The wounded men were taken to Coulee
City and their hurts cared for. They are
resting easily at present.
The mails are coming in regular from
Watervil!e. but there are no connections
with the okanogan country since last
Monday.
