road Payson Tucker was removed
from the position of general manager
after having refused to resign, and G..

change in its policy.

Tho Broken Wheel.

A. M. Pearce, one of the Oldest Asso-
ciated Press operators, tells an interest
ing story to illustrate how important a
place the operator upon the railway lines
occupies, even the operators in the small
and lonely stations where no train stops
except it is tagged
"People who travel ON the cars, )" he
said, "have no idea what close shaves
the trains have every day. When | first
began work for the railways, I was To-
Gated at a little station 10 miles from
Batavia called Byron. Eight miles east
of Byron was the station of Bergen.
This was on the New York Central 1t
happened that just beyond Byron there
was high hill It was difficult for
trains to mount, and they sometimes had
to wait there for another train to come
along and help them over the hill. One
night I received telegraph message
from the operator at Bergen that as the
train was passing he noticed from the
sound that one of the wheels on one of
the cars was in bad shape. He suggested
that [ stop the train.
"Acting upon his suggestion, / put
out my flag and stopped the train. Tue
engineer was pretty sulky, and the con-
ductor got off and wanted to know what
in hades had stopped them there for.
told them the message had received.
They cursed some and started QUO to look
for the broken wheel.
ga broken wheel was serious matter
going over that hill, with the POSSIBLE
ity of plunging the train off the track
and rolling it down the precipice. AS it
happened the conductor had his wife
and child aboard too. Well, he looked
down one side of the train, and we look
ed down the other without success. But
in looking down one of the sides we had
bad light, and so, taking the light,
went down again and found a quarter
of one of the wheels broken
'Well, sir, when the conductor came
up and saw that wheel he picked me up
in his arms, and I believe if I had been
a little younger he would have kissed
me, he was SO glad. I speak of it as IL
lustrating how important the operator
may become to the railway. Detroit

A Famous Irigard.

The famous brigand Tiburzi of Italy,
who was recently killed by the police,
had been brigand for 40 years. For a
long time he was the real ruler of q
large district. He imposed taxes upon
the population and in return guaranteed
public order. Every one paid willingly,
and there were no longer robberies or
crimes of any kind. He constituted him
self the local police force. At the cleo
lions of 1898 he took over the political
arrangements of the district. In fact. he
became the grand elector. He brought
out his candidate, instructed all his SUBJ
iects to vote for him, and the result was
magnificent victory. In the last few
months he frequently paid visits to
Rome, Florence, Paris and other cities
for pleasure. The police who killed him
owed their triumph to the treachery of
one of his bandit companions.

The Blockade Crown.

The blockade crown was in some re-
spects the noblest trophy that could be
conferred upon victorious Roman gen
eral. It was given to the commander of
an army who relieved a beleaguered city
and was made of grass or wild flowers
growing on the site of the enemy's en-
campment. 1t was rarely conferred, not
more than 10 times in the history of
Rome.

THE RIO GRANDE RAILROAD
Reported to Be Contemplating
Building to Los Angeles
TO JOIN THE VALLEY ROAD
At sFresno and Run Thence to This
City
Local Railroad Officials Place No Credence in
the Report-Thc Proposed Route From
Utah-RaiIroad Notes

For some time past nothing has been
heard about the much talked of road to
Salt Lake city or the direct transcontinental
line from Los Angeles to the east. Sud-
denly the announcement appears in an
evening paper that the owners of the Rio
Grande Western were making active prep
arations for extending their lines from
their present western terminus at Pleas
ant Valley junction into Nevada to Phoebe
thence south to Gold Hill and af'er max.
ing slight detour to take in the Yellow
Pine district to con inue to the Vanderbilt
and connecting with the Nevada Southern
to make connection with the Atlantic and
Pacific division of tho Santa Fe at Blake
and thence into this city. This route. it is
claimed will only be temporary, the final
line after leaving Gold Hill Is intended to
take southeasterly direction, cross the
Colorado river above the Needles and after
connecting with the Phoenix, Prescott and
Santa Fe road to recross the Colorado river
into California and passing the northern
boundary of the Colorado desert to enter
Southern California through the san Ja-
cinto pass. In the proposed extension OF
the Rio Grande Western road it was stated
that the Valley road from Fresno would
route from that point would be run south
and east to Lake Tulare, over the Beal
ranch and through the one accessible pass
in the mountains south of Mt. Whitney to
the Mojave desert.
One OF the principal proofs of the intend
ed move by the great company was the fact
that large quantities of rails had been dis
tributed at various points along their west
ern lines. 1t is further stated that the
company has in the field two corps of en-
gineers who are surveying he country IN
the direction of the proposed extension.
In speaking of the project yesterday sew
eral of the representatives of the different
railroads running into this city said that
they did not consider he proposition with
any degree of seriousness. 1t would take
more than any movement that has yet been
made to indicate such an intention on the
part OF the management of the Rio Grapde
Western. The fact that large quantity
of rails has been distributed at various
poinrs on the company's road does not
necessarily signify any intention to build q
the Terminal were emphatic in their ex-
pressions of disbelief. Said one of them
Such gigantic scheme could only be put
into effect through the combination oi
great capitalists. While it is generally
we'll known that the Rio Grande is in excel
lent financial condition, that is no reason
why they should make any such move az
that ascribed to them in an article which
lately appeared in an evening paper
Whenever such q plan has been decided
upon by any one of the great railroad com
panies it will be known in railroad circle.
and in all probability will receive more
prominent announcement.

IMPERFECT MAIL SERVICE
DepiOrable Condition of Affairs in the
City PostoffiCe
Five Days Required for Delivering Letters
Posted Here to Prominent Business lien.
rIr. Van Duscns Explanation

The following corresondence between
Secretary Willard of the chamber of COM
merce and Postmaster Van Dusen is self
explanatory. and also sheds some light on
the condition of affairs in the postal serv-
ice of this city. The first is a letter, under
date of January 1 11th, from Mr.. Willard:
Dear Sir: The notices of the annual
election of the chamber of commerce,
which was to take place January 8 h, were
put in the mail at the main Office, part of
them sunday night and the remainder on
Monday morn ng.
1t appears that those that were mailed
Sunday night were delivered Tuesday, two
days later, and those that were mailed on
Monday morning were not delivered until
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We have
experienced great deal of complaint from
the members on this account, and would
be very glad to have from you some ex-
PLANTATION on this subject which we can
make public. Yours respectfully.
In response Mr.. Van Dusen, under date
of January IL lth, wrote to Mr.. Willard as
follows: Dear Sir: Your favor of January
l tn received, and in reply would say that
owing 10 the lack of sufficient clerks and
office facilities, it has been impossible to
promptly handle the very large amount of
mail received at this office, which at this
season of the year is particularly heavy.
This has been the cause of delay in the de-
livery of the circular notices referred to in
your letter. Very respectfully.
