Average time, including stops, SAB
miles per hour.
Average time, excluding stops, 1854
miles per hour.
The first stop made by the train after
leaving Chicago was at Sixteenth street
for supplies, where four minutes were
consumed. At Aurora the travelling en-
glneer took one minute to look the en-
CINE over and the train ran without
stop until Mendoza was reached, when
three minutes more were consumed for
the same purpose. A total Of twenty
one stops was made between Chicago
and Denver, consuming in all sixty
four minutes. The longest stop was
made at Red Oak, Ia, where engines
were changed on account OF a hot
truck. At this point the fastest run
of the trip was made. Soon after leav-
ing Creston it was discovered that a
box on one Of the engine trucks was
heating, but in spite of this fact the
run of thirty-siX miles was made in
thirty-four minutes. AT Villisca
fresh engine was substituted and the
run to Red Oak, fifteen miles, was
made in as many minutes.
Over long stretches Of road between
McCook and Denver the train made
more than a mile a minute for dis
tances Of forty to sixty miles. Six en-
gineers took the train from Chicago to
Denver, making an average of ITO
miles to each run.
Mr.. Mayham left New York Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock on Pennsylvania
Limited in response to repeated mes
sages that his son, William B. May
ham, was lying at the point OF death
at Denver. At Fort Wayne Mr.. May
ham became convinced that the ordi-
nary trains would not take him to the
bedside of his son in time to close his
eyes in death, and he promptly wired
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road
TO have in readiness a special train to
carry him through to Denver IN the
shortest possible time.
The Pennsylvania arrived in Chicago
ten minutes late and thirty minutes
making necessary preparations for the
were consumed by Mr.. Mayham in
journey.
The train left the Union Depot at ex-
actly 10 o'clock Monday morning. The
Burlington road had agreed to make
the trip to Denver inside Of twenty
four hours" The feat was accom-
plished in three minutes less than
nineteen hours, or more than Ave
hours under the stipulated time.

write letters. 1t gies them facility in

is established in childhood, it is less

is a source Of the greatest comfort to

THE RECORD BROKEN.
c.. B. g. O. AccoMPLIsHEs ,
GREAT FEAT.
Special Train of the Burlington Route
Runs from Chicago to Denver, l,Os5
Miles, at an Average Speed of Nearly
90 Miles an Hour.

The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad has just accomplished the
greatest feat the world has ever known
for long-distance fast running.
1t was made in race against death
to carry Henry ]. Mayham of New
York to the bedside of his dying son in
Denver.
The distance from Chicago to Den
yer, 1.025 miles, was covered in eX-
actly 1,069 minutes actual running
time. This is only a small fraction
less than one mile minute for the
longest continuous run ever made by
any railroad in the world.
1t was a run made In the ordinary
course of business. No special prepa-
ration whatever had been contem-
plated for the trip. In exactly forty
four minutes from the time the order
for the train was received the throttle
of the engine was pulled open and the
train glide put of the Union Depot on
race wBGeh surprised railroad men
the world over.
The engine which took the train on
the first run out of Chicago to Gales
burg had just come in from Aurora
pulling a regular passenger train. No
time was spent in cleaning up, but 1t
was quickly turned around, attached to
the special train and manned by the
same engineer who had brought it to
Chicago. Not more than a half dozen
officials or employees Of the road knew
the trip was to be made. This fact is
the most important in the history of
the great feat, as it demonstrates the
superb physical condition of the road
and the perfect management which en-
ables such remarkable time to be
maintained for more than thousand
miles.
The time made by the record-break-
ing train is as follows, including all
stops:

A jefferson County Benefactor.

Mr.. Henry Garrett. who has been
making his home at Hotel Pantall, and
who will be SO years old on the 18th
day of May next, has been victim of
the grip this winter but is now able to
be about. Mr.. Garrett might properly
be called the pioneer in the develop
ment of Jefferson county's vast coal
fields. He came to this county in 1873
and observing the vast bituminous re-
sources of our county got capitalists in
terested in our natural wealth. And il
did not take prospectors and operators
long to find out for themselves that be-
meath the surface OF Jefferson county's
rock-ribbed and stump-bedecked hills
there lay immense beds of bituminous
coal whose resources would last for
many years. 1t did not take diamond
drill to prove that there were veins OF
stored-up CONCEALED sunlight and heat
six, seven and nine feet thick, deep
enough to enable miner to stand up
right and swing his pick for there were
the old country coal banks open tC
prove that the men who were trying to
interest capitalists to invest their money
in this wilderness" knew what they
were talking about.-Punxsutawney
Ners.
Mr.. Garrett, who has spent the majol
portion of his time in ReynoldsvillC
during the past quarter of a century
certainly deserves credit for getting
the coal fields of this county opened.

Beechtree Mines Shut Down.

The mines at Beechtree have been
shut down indefinitely. We have been
informed that the machinery has been
withdrawn from the mines and that the
mules have been sent to other places.
A general exodus is expected from the
place as soon as the men can find
employment elsewhere. The Brock
wayville Record says:
"The purported object of this suspen-
sion is said to be the expensiveness OF
operating at Beechtree. Operations
have been carried on there for thirteen
years, or ever since the b., II. & p.
road was built While there is con-
siderable coal still there the mine haul
is long which with other draw backs
makes mining expensive when compar.
ed with the other better equipped
plants of the company in the high seams
of their mines at Adrian, Walston,
Eleanora and elsewhere. 1t is moi
probable, however, that the plant will

Library in the Iail.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Jefferson county proposes
putting library in the Jail at Brook
vile for the use of the prisoners, and
any person having good books that they
can contribute towards this cause, are
requested to send them to Miss Amelia
Clark, Brookville, who will see that
they are put in the library. This is a
commendabe step on the part of the
ladies of the above organization, and If
the right kind of literature is provided,
some miserable wretch may be inspired
to better life. AS rule, the chaps
who get into the county Jail don't spend
much time in reading good books while
at liberty, who, when confined in Jail
will read to while away the time. 1t is
to be hoped the ladies will receive a
sufficient book donation to establish a
large library in the county Jail.

he only lived an hour after the coal fell
on him. 1t is very sad case indeed, as
Mr.. Smith was married and leaves q
wife and eight little children. He was
about forty-one years old. The accident
cast gloom over the entire community
where the strong man was so suddenly
hurled into eternity. The deceased
