A RAILROAD MYSTERY.
Grinding, Screeching Noises For which
There Is No Apparent Reason.

Grinding, screeching Noises For which
There Is No Apparent Reason.
Between the 40 and 90 mile posts on tho
Carolina Central railroad there Is a piece
of track for u distance of nearly six miles
that presents singular condition that so
far amounts to an inexplicable mystery.
All trains going and coming go to grind
ing and start terrible squeaking when
they get on this six miles of track. The
noise comes from not only one car, but
every locomotive, every coach and every
car of whatever kind sets up grinding as
If turning Il curyN
The noise Is something like tho screech-
ing of an OK cart that has no grease on It,
and 1t Is made by every truck In train
The track is perfectly straight, and rs
there is no curve ut all the cause Of the
grinding and squealin9 has mystifled the
railroad people
Every effort has been made to ascertain
the cause of the difficulty Tho locomo-
tives have been examined, the coaches and
cars have been scrutinized, every cross tic
ond every rail has been inspected, every
joint has been looked at, and every foot of
the track has been regauged but no ex-
PLANTATION could be found Tho section
master has almost crawled over the six
miles on his knees In search Of the cause
The roadnaster has tried his best to ferret
out the matter, and the superintendent has
been over tho track and inspected it-all
of them making repeated efforts time and
again to find out what is the mattcr-but
they have given 1t up os n bad Job. They
have not only not been able to discover the
cause of the noise, but have been unable
to discover any theory TO explain the mys-
terry.
1t IS one OF the railroad mysteries of the
age and has been going on for go years
During that time the cross ties and rails
hovc been replaced several times with new
ones, but without effect Who can explain

QUEER NAMES.

There isn't great deal of funny reading
in the Blue Book, which tells all about
what evcrybody-gets who works for Uncle
Sam, be his or her station what it may,
but there Is o little. Perhaps 1t seems
funnier than 1t really is on account of its
environments, but 1t does seem tri1e

they do get on the rolls. Witness, Hoke
