Inquiry shows that there is a good deal
of difference in opinion among mechanical
engineers. superintendent of motive power
master mechanics and locomotive engineers
of experience as to the wisdom of long runs
for locomotives. Said a superintendent of
motive power: ut has always been under
stood that a locomotive was in many re-
spects like a human being-that it would
run smoothly and many hours a day
and if run beyond such limit there was a
avoided were the engine to run seventy
five one hundred miles and then be
housed and properly cared for. No one will
question that long runs for locomotives will
require fewer locomotives and less expense
for the time being, but opponents of long
runs argue that ii is better to run more
locomotives and thus lengthen the life of
the locomotive, or, in other words, i'm
term of ten years the new locomotives
cost more than the saving which had been
effected by long runs. Time only win settle
the question whether there is money to
the roads in the long runs for locomotives
Since making long runs on our lines We
have had more late trains from hot boxes
or some other trouble to the engine Thus
far the through runs from Columbus to
Pittsburg. 1873 miles. with the same locomo-
tive and crew, have worked satisfactorily,
BY inaugurating long runs for the locomo-
tiVes and crews several engines are re-
leased and can be used in other service. Six

Magistrate Lockman yesterday assessed a
fine of $25 and costs against Tubal Alex
ander, colored, and the young man went to
the workhouse for a period of thirty-nine
days. The charge was assault and bat

when Eddy went to his house to serve a
writ of replevin for household goods bought
by Alexander on the installment plan and
on which Alexander was delinquent. 1t is
probable that Alexander will have to an

THE NEW MILEAGE BOOK
WHY 1T DOES NOT MEET ALL THE
NEEDS OF THE PRESENT TIME.
The Roads Preparing to Handle the
ceIIaneous Railway News.

Il do rot believe said retired passen-
ger official, that the new mileage book
will be the great deliverer from demoraliza-
ton in rates that the general passenger
agents expected. There is too much req
tape about it, and the sooner the Western
roads get around to the plans of the New
England roads or of the New York Central
the better it will be. A person in New
England who purchases q mileage book
gives $50 for it, and any member of firm
or of a family can use it. After a book
is once sold it makes no difference who
accounts for the excellent local business
the New England roads are doing. No trou-
bic is experienced with ticket scalpers in
New England; neither does the New York
Central have any trouble with scalping its
own tiekets-everyth.ng is cents a mile,
and after the ticket is sold little differ
ence does it make who travels it. L
fear that Western roads will not accom-
plish much until they deal more honorabIy
with each other and when they once name
a rate on regular travel or excursion bust
ness, stick to 1t. This is the great strength
of the New England roads and the New
York Central; everybody knows what the
rates are, and there is no tritiing in the
matter so far as local business is concerned,
and If properly guarded and agreements
honestly lived up to there could be the
same condition of things in through bust
ness. 1t is in this class of business that
the decentralization now largely exists"

The trouble over the east-bound rates
from the convention of the Christian En-
deavor at San Francisco seems to be about
over and the chances are that Chairman
Caldwell will not find it necessary to re-
duce any rates after he reaches San Fran
cisco. All the Colorado Utah roads, with
the exception of the Colorado Midland, noti-
fled the executive committee of the West
ern Passenger Association that they will
not allow the stop-overs on their tickets,
and it is not likely that the Colorado Mid
land Of itself will be able to create any very
great amount of trouble The Southern Pa
citc, which had agreed TO allow stop-oVers
at Eel Paso for such excursionists as de-
sired to make a trip to the City of Mexico,
has announced that it will not allow them.
The additional dates of sales which the
Southern Pacific had intended to allow for
the eaSt-bOund business will not be al
lowed, and the only trouble that con-
fronted Chairman Caldwell when he ar
rived in San Francisco last evening was
payment of commissioners. The executive
citation held a meeting yesterday at Chicago
and it was decided that the rates should be
cut openly by just the amount of commits
sions that the Colorado Midland or any
other road is paying.
The Wisconsin Central, which is not a
member of the Western Passenger Associa-
ton, has announced that ii would make
the same rate and arrangements as the as
ISOLATION roads for the merchants who de-
sire to visit the jobDing centers for the
purpose of purchasing goods. This makes
it practically certain that the rates agreed
on at the last meeting of the Western Pas
Senger Association some time ago Will be
made The Wisconsin Central was the last
of the Western roads to declare that 1T
would observe the agreement and the asso-
citation roads are greatly pleased al its ac-
ton as they would have been forced to
whatever rates it chose to make. and the
result might have been the decentralization
of rates throughout all of the territory lii
which it was intended they should apply.
Representatives of the Kansas & Colorado
coal roads had a conference at chicago
yesterday for the purpose of equaliZlng
rates so as to place them all on parity
in competitive markets. The question is a
progress was made at the meeting. 1t will
be resumed to-day.

Commissioner Clements, announced its de-
cision in two cases of Suffern, Hunt & Co
against the Indiana. Decatur & Western

culars issued by the railway company pre-
scribed maximum and minimum carload
freights for grain depending on the ca
pacity of the car furnished by the railway
company to the shipper The rules so pre-
sCribed were not shown on the carriers
posted schedules of rates and charges and
application OF the rules 10 three carload
shipments of corn carried for complainant

to recover charges collected on its ship

SORRY FOR THE TEACHERS
When Judge Foster Heard the Facts,
He Made Things Hustle

Tt some time happens that the easiest
way to secure what is wanted through
the courts is not by the aid of attOr-
Eeys. Especially is this true if there is
a man like Judge Foster on the bench
who can be reached by a direct appeal
to his compassion
Several months ago Judge Foster
granted an injunction to prevent the
comm 'ss.Oners of Pratt county from eel
lecting taxes from the Wichita & West
ern railroad Yesterday afternoon he
received a personal letter from the
county commissioners that while the
poor people were com PEELED to pay their
taxes or lose their property the railroad
was allowed to operate without paying
any taxes. They said that the schOol
teachers We're compelled to take county
warrants for their pay in some districts
because the railroad taxes could not be
collected ON account of the injunction
Judge Foster read the letter and at
once made an order for the receiver to
pay taxes amounting to about So 600
He set aside his own restraining order
FOR that purpose. If the application
had gone through the usual channels
it would probably not have been heard
for two or three months

RODE AN AVALANCHE.
Prospector Carried Down the Side of
Pixies Peak

Colorado Springs, Colo, Dec. 21.-
Joe Bradley, miner and prospectOr of
Cripple Greek, was brought into this
city yesterday in a critical condition,
the result of riding an avalanche on
Pixies Peak last Friday.
Bradley relates a terrible experience.
He says that d man whose name he
did not know. was with him coming
over the mountain from Cripple Creek
to Colorado Springs. When near the
summit of the peak, the way became
obscure, and the ,wO men climbed to
the top of an eminence, endeavOring
to find the trail.
While at this point" says Bradley,
the whole mountain side seemed to
give a lurch and at a terrific speed
moved downward. After what seemed
TO be an age, I was thrown against a
stump and rendered unconscious. 1t
was several hours before regained
my senses, and discovered, a short dis
tance away, a. prospector's cabin. I
could not walk, being so badly bruised
and frozen. but after prayer that 1
might die, L dragged myself to the cab
in. where I was attended by the pros
pector. My companion did not see af-
ter the starting of the avalanche, and
he is surely lost

find Bradley's companion, but as yet
the body has not been recovered.

small parties there would have un-
