THEORY AS TO "CREEPlNC"
RAILS.

Attempt at Explaining a Curious phenom.
enon Observed on Railroads.
Unless there are cOunteracting in.
lluenceS, the natural tendency of
rails is to 'creep" downward. Obey.
ing the well known laws of gravity.
Ii, however, the grade be too slight
to give much effect to this law.
and, in fact, SO slight as to reauira
the use of steam In the handling of
descending trains this natural ten
dency may be min1miZed, and. in
deed, overcome and reversed by a con-
stant draft of loads in the direction
OF lts descent, says the Charleston
News and Courier. Heavy loads
pulling constantly in one direction
nave a tendency to drive the rail in
the opposite direction. Should it be
necessary. however. to apply the
brakes, the rail- is driven in the d.
rect!on Of the moving train. On a
perfectly level track the rail almost
invariably ''creeps" in the opposite
direction from the movement of the
heaviest and most constant traffic,
except at points where it is custom
airy to shut off and apply the
brakes, at which the ''creep'' is
in the same direction. On roads hav.
ing grades which change abruptly
from ascending to descending grades
over the crown of a hill, it often hap
pens that the rails creep up grade
on both sides of the crown, and this
is especially true where long, heavy
trains are Fun, as the heavy pull.
ing of the engine after it has passed
the crown, gong down grade, causes
i to drive the rail upward on the
n side, while the real of the train
has somewhat the tendency to pull,
or at least to hold, the rail on the
opposite ascent. One rail often
'creeps' faster than the other; this
is not confined to the east ra ! or the
west rail, the north or the South. It
is due to a variety of causes, and fo
none perhaps more t.a,lar t6 the fact
thai there Is a difference, and often
a regularity. in humanity. There
Is IA railroad parlance what is known
as a '4ine" and a gauge rail; iE
nine cases OUT of ten the dine" Iail
gets the most attention from the
foreman ip charge and in addition,
two men are usually selected to
keep up" the bolts on Joints, n OF
which is generally the most trusted
mar in the gang" The other
works under him; almost invariably
this trusted man gets on the 'line"
rail, and thus it Will be seen that
the joints and bolts are kept in bet
ter shape on the one rail than on the
other, and are therefore more capa-
BILE of resisting the tendency to
creep" This habit among track
men of adopting Il pet rail is n of
the peculiarities of human nature:
BARRIERS have somewhat the same Pc
culiarity-they lather and rub, shave
and powder one side of a mans face
until human endurance rebels against
the Injustice.

Won MOltke's Remarkable Goodness

When the Franco-Prussian war was
declared, it is said that Won Moltke
was awakened at midnight and told of
the fact. He said cOolly to the official
who had aroused him: go to pigeon
hole number - in my safe and take a
paper from it and telegraph as there
directed to the different troops of the
empire" He tt. en- turned over and
went to sleep and awoke at the usual
hour in the morpipg. Everyone in
Won Molke took his morning walk as
usual, and a friend who met him said:
General, you seem to be taking it
very easy. Aren't you afraid of the
situation? l should think you would
be busy" "Ah," replied Won Mo.tke.
"all my work for this time has been
done long beforehand, and everything
that can be done now has been done

Curing Il Boiling Horse.

A horse purchased at an equine
.rubb sh' sale was a confirmed Dol.
ter. No sooner was it harnesSed
than it set off at full gallop, a career
which generally ended in a smash
and the immediate release OF the
culprit. But the new purchaser, far
from trying to check Jh S propensity,
resolved, as he said, to 'humor him
a hit" and generously dent him to
a fire engine" The horse o o found
thai he was encouraged not only to
holt at the starting, but to keep up
the pace. and in six months was quite
ready to stand in harness or TO start
at any speed wished by his driver.

TWO BILLS OF INJUNCTION
Filed in the United States Circuit
Court Yesterday Week

Closing Of the Fish OIL Factories Of
Brown 4 Co. and Luce Bros, of Lewes

BY District Attorney Watson for the
closing OF the Fish OIL Factories Of
Brown & Co. and Luce Bros, of L.wes.
DeI-Motiou TO he Made May 21st.
Two bills were filed Wednesday In
circuit court Of the United States fer
the district OF Delaware by BeuiA!I
Watson, United States attorney, against
S. s. Brown IL Co. and Luce Bros o.
Lewes. Del, praying for an injunction
to prevent said firms from the manuiac-
ture Of fish oil at their works near tie
quarantine station, Lewes, Del.
The government erected some time in
1S90-0l large and cpmmodious buildings
at . cost of $4,000 about half a mile
from the works Of the defendants above
named.
There has been great deal of com
plant against these fish factories by the
people OF Lewes Hnd Edmund B. Frazer,
secretary of the State Board Of Health,
went down 10 Loves last summer for
the purpose of making an investigation
concerning the alleged nuisances.
The State Board Of Health, through
its secretary, condemned them as nuis-
ance. But the board had no power,
outside Of small tine, to effect a perma.

About year ago complaint was made

i charge of the quarantine, and also by
DIR. Geddings. u the Washington au-
| thorities, whereupOn the whole matter
was referred TO the United States attor-
ney for this district.
Considerable correspondence between
| United States Attorney Watson and F,
/ 4. Reeve, solicitor of the Treasury De-
/ partment took place as to the proper
course 10 be pursued, and after a
thorough investigation of the law and
the facts, Mr. Watson decided that nc
other course was open but TO file bills in
equity in the circuit court Of the United
States for the Delaware district, asking
for preliminary injunction TO stop the
manufacture of fish oil by said firms OF
the ground that it was nuisance t
the quarantine station, the life saving
station and the general commerce Of the
Delaware river.
Notice to S. S. Brown & Co, aut

No Evidence That He Intends to AbscoDd
There is No Debar to a Breach of
Promise Suit.
Before Judge Grub, yesterday week
Jacob Goodman was arraigned on
the charge of intending to abscond in
order to avoid suit for breach of promise
of marriage. The defendant is under
$1,000 bail. The plaintiff is Sarah
Schneiderman, pretty young Jewess,
whose ignorance of English required
I the aid of an interpreter.
Miss Schneiderman had gained the
'1dea that Goodman, who she alleges had
fpromised to marry her, is going to run
away. Numerous witnesses were heard.
The testimony was somewhat confusing
and contradictory but no definite evil
dence was adduced that the defendant
Intended avoiding the suit instituted
against him. He is tailor in the EN-
ploye Of J. T. Mullin e. Son. His fel.
low employees could give no testimony
in support of the allegation to abscond
Judge Grub said it was question a:
TO the intent of absconding. This, be
thought, had not been proven. He
therefore, ordered Goodman's discharge
from custody.
The court said that this would in NJ
way interfere with proceedings which
might be brought for breach of promis
of marriage,

The finding of blood stained garments
in sand-pit about mile from Farm
hurst station yesterday week, caused
the people of that neighborhood to be-
come unduly excited, and fears were
entertained that murder had been
committed. These fears were strength
ened when the discovery was made that
a wagon had been driven close by the
sand-pit. The blood-stained garments
consist OF an undershirt, pair Of drawers
and neck-tie, but further than that
there is nothing TO suggest tragedy.
The garments may or may not have
been discarded by tramp, who took
this occasion to make his toilet after re-
ceiying supply of clothing at nearby
farm house. II is believed that there
has been tragedy of old clothes, and it
| Is doubtful if human blood has been
shed, although the State detectives will
Look the matter up.
