WE learn from the Post Dispatch that
Senator w. R. Goodykoontz was in st.
Louis, a few days ago. looking up Col.
Bill Phelps, Charley Mafitt, Dave
Francis and other gentlemen high in
the councils of the Gold Standard
Camp. From the article in question
those who do not know the Senator
might be led to think he was there to
give these eminent goldbugs the bene-
fit of his large experience, and to help
them devise plans to capture the Sc
dalia Convention. We know the Sem
ator. We know his loyalty to the
cause of silver is not to be shaken.
Though the Mississippi should flow up
stream and the Ozarks be dissolved,
still would he be found advocating the
cause of the white metal. We have
the Senator'S own letter on file in this
o1ice, written with his own hand, de-
claring his position on the Silver ones
ton in terms that cannot be misunder-
stood. We have hitherto felt very
friendly toward the Post Dispatch, but
II that friendship is to continue there
must be no more unprovoked attacks
upon the Senator from this District.
We surmise that his visit to st. Louis
had nothing to do with the silver ques-
ton. The iron horse does not cover
the entire distance between Caledonia,
the Senator's place Of residence, and
Jefferson City-Caledonia being some
eight miles from the railroad. We
suspect he was trying to have this
hiatus filed by inducing the Company
to run branch road to Caledonia. A
Senator's power of easy egress and in
gress should not be halfway affair.
To whom should he appeal, if not to
Col. Phelps and his associates?

will retire on January !, and C. w. Wolford
will succeed him.
Joseph Dillingham;, master mechanic of
the Baltimore & Ohio, has issued a circular
to enginemen, admonishing them against
the waste of coal. Among other things he
says: 1T .IaS been shown that when an
engine blows off the waste of steam
amounts to the consumption of one-fourth
of pound of coal each second it continues,
or about a shovelful Of coal per minute"
The Pennsylvania draughtsmen at Fort
Wayne are said to be preparing plans for a
new locomotive, to be built after special de-
weigh 10000 pounds, or $4,000 pounds more
than the celebrated class X engine, the
heaviest type known. The power of the
new engine, 1t is expected, will be exceed
ingly great. The locomotive will be used to
haul the heaviest freight trains.
Under an act passed by the legislature of
Ohio, all cars run on Ohio roads must be so
constructed that the lower step shall be but
twelve inches above the platform or the
ground where the passenger takes the train
at station, which means that many plat
forms must be raised at way stations or
steps to the coaches made lower. William
G;trstang, superintendent of motive power
of the Big Four, has invented a folding

station the brakeman turns a little lever
and drops the step, and when the train
starts, by the same lever, he throws ii
back under the stationary steps of the car.

BoSToN'S NEW UNION STATION.
IL VIII Be of Immense Size and Pro-
vided With All the Latest md
Approved Devices

The new South Union station for the CITY
of Boston, will be prodigous establish
ment and provided with all the latest and
most approved scientific devices for prompt
and accurate railroad service. The original
plans have been considerably modified and
| in some respects radically changed. The
| most striking feature of the revised plans
| is the provision for handling the suburban
trafhc south of Boston by means of cleo
| tricity. This is accomplished by planning
for 'double-deck'' station. The upper
| floor level is provided with the usual stub
| tracks, where through trains may discharge
passengers and suburban trains may be run
| if necessary. On the lower level is a double
| loop of tracks which will be connected
with the main line tracks about half a
mile from the station. The trains on these
tracks are to be run by electricity or other
motive power which avoids the smoke
steam and gas nuisance.
The stub tracks on the upper floor will
be so arranged that all outgoing trains
may use one side of the station and incom-
ing trains the other side, unless it shall be
considered more desirable to divide the sta
ton, trains going out through the Back
Bay using one side, and the south bound
trains the other. thus separating the Bos-
| ton & Albany and Providence, and the New
England and Old Colony trains. These
twenty-eight tracks will hold about $50
passenger cars when completely hlied.
There will be seven platforms the entire
length of the farmhouse devoted exclu-
sively to the trucking of baggage and eX-
press matter altogether out of the way of
passengers, and at the end of these truck
ing platforms there will be baggage and
express truck lifts to a subway under the
tracks connecting with the baggage room
and the express buildings.
Owing to the great size of the station,
it was possible to arrange loop inside for
suburban traffic. The loop tracks enter the
farmhouse at one side of the steam tracks
and at a grade about seventeen feet be-
meath them, and as they enter they spread
so that there is a platform between the
tracks, from which all passengers will en-
ter cars, the unloading being done on other
platforms. These platforms are long
enough so that fourteen trains of three
cars each may stand next to them, seven
on each track, and when 1t becomes neces-
sary to send out one train each minute it
can be done, allowing each train to remain
in the station four or more minutes for un-
loading and loading. This means upwards
of 200 trains in and out in each day of eigh-
teen hours upon these two tracks alone,
which is five times as many as at present
in the suburban service. The platform area
devoted to this service will allow an assem-
bling of about 25.00O people at one time.
Pneumatic interlocking switches will be
used on the lower system, and an immense
power plant will be put in on the Dorches-
ter street side of the new station.

AN HEIRESS 10 $SO,OOO,OOO.
KANSAS WOMAN MAY PROVE HER
CLAIM TO ALL THIS.
Mrs. A. C. stech, of Independence, As
pires to a PrinceIy Estate In En-
gIand-Romantic History
of the Case.

Independence, Kas., Dec. E.-(Special.)
County Attorney w. e. ziegler returned
from an extended trip to West Virginia
yesterday. where he went TO secure In
formation to help in establishing claim
of Mrs. A. c. Stech. of this city, to an es-
tate valued Mt SS0,OO0,0OO.
Many years ago Miss Munday. a
wealthy English heiress. married Alexan-
der Briggs and came over to this country.
They settled in West Virginia. where they
purchased a large estate. but they did not
relinquish their titles to large tracts OF
lands which they still owned in England.
Mrs. Briggs died very suddenly. and a few
years later Alexander Briggs was killed in
one of the battles in the Revolution. The
children were scattered. and little atten-
tion was paid to the vast fortunes that
were invested in English lands. The es-
tates became neglected and run down. and
the English government attempted 10 find
the missing heirs of the Briggs family. but
without avail. A member Of the Briggs
family in this country recently Investigated
the matter very carefully. and was re-
warded in the end by discovering that he
belonged to another branch of the family
and could claim no relationship with Gem
eral Briggs. who was once the owner of
the vast fortune.
This question has come up again recently
and Mrs A. G. Stech, OF this city, after
securing all the evidence possible, has de-
cided that she can establish her claim to
the ssO0O0.000 and at once began to secure
all the additional information she could.
She retained Mr.. ZIegier as her attorney.
and he has procured some new evidence
on his recent trip. Mr.. ZieSler says there
Is no doubt but that Mrs. Stech is the
Observation-Disclosures of General Briggs.
and he is confident she can establish her
claim to the princely fortune.

The OKLAHOMA ALEGISLATURE
LIVELIEST SESSION YET HELD IN
THE TERRITORY.
Guthrie Filling Up With Aspirants to
POsitiOns-A Big Lobby That VIII
Attempt to Effect Some
Radical Legislation.

Guthrie, o. T., Dec. 27.-(Special) The
coming session of the Oklahoma legislature,
which convenes here on January H. prom
ises to be the liveliest session yet held in
Oklahoma, and some very radical legisla-
ton will no doubt be attempted. The city
is already filling up with pie hunters and
the scramble during the first few days of
organization will be equal to the rush for
claims at any opening ever held in the
territory. The body will have about six
clerkships at Sc a day, as many more at
IS, dozen at "a and twice as many at 50,
with a sergeant-at-arms or two, several
doorkeepers and messengers, janitor and
half a dozen pages, and there are now not
less than 300 active aspirants for these
places and more coming out every day.
Then before the members can have time to
take full breath after their struggle with
this horde will come the associations and
committees with requests for legislation In
their special interest.
The Oklahoma Press Association will
meet here January Il and demand certain
legislation for the benefit of legitimate
newspapers. including an equitable libel
law. The same day the Free Home League
will be in session and ask for resolutions
and memorials to congress, and the school
land lessees will meet in the evening and
formulate laws which are designed to &C.
complish the impossibility of looking after
the very best interests of the school fund
and the school land lessees at the same
time, and early the next morning the Ter
ritorial Equal Suffragists will be on deck
asking for the ballot and incidentally for
bloomers, while along later in the month
the Sheriffs Association, County Com
missioners League, Probate Judges
League, Union of Registers of Deeds,
County Clerks Guild, County Superintend-
ents' Band of Hope and many others will
appear, each asking for the passage of
laws for the benefit of the people.
