HOODOOED ENGINES,
Strange Stories Told BY the Men in
the Illinois Central shops.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
Every engine that comes for repairs to
the great shops Of the Illinois Central at
Burnside has story of interest to tell.
Sometimes the engine is an old 'Iunker''
that looks as if it might have served as
ballast for Noah's ark, and its recital of
injuries may be the commonplace relation
OF pig on the track and humping over
ties to the damage of frame and rivets
Again, it may be the shapeless remains
OF what once pulled the finest vestibuled
express on the road, and its story may be
mutely, but not the less graphicaIlv told
on the fodsboard by the stain that was
once the blood of the brave engineer or
fireman
Few engines as we'll as few engineers
serve very long on the road without going
through an accident" said a man who has
worked his way through various positions
to one of the most responsible posts In
the great shop 'Some of the engines
come in here as wrecks any number of
times 1 guess there is no fabrication
about the stories one hears of hoodooed
engines. There are a few on every road
They cause more losses of pay and posi-
ton among the engineers than all the rest
of the rolling stock, including hand cars
They seem infested with evil spirits.
They will start backward or forward when
there is nobody near the throttle, or so I
have heard reputable engineers swear
with tears in their eyes. OF course the
company doesn't believe it, and the en-
gineer. if he has not already lost an arm
or a leg loses a few weeks; pay or his po-
sition in consequence of something which
he could not help.
"These hoodoo engines cut strange cap
ers when they break loose. Ii they can't
manage to knock the underplnning out
from viaduet or bridge, they will turn
three or four somersaults into creek
instead of smashing things in an ordinary
way. They generally damage themselves
very little and we have to keep patching
them up and sending them out time and
time again. If they would only destroy
themselves all the engineers would be
glad.
"Other engines only come to the shop
once but then they come to stay. l re-
member one engine that had gone a re-
markedly long time without a smashup of
any kind. 1t was run by one of the oldest
engineers on the road He was about IS
years old and had spent most of his life
as an engineer, yet he had never been in a
wreck. One day, just before he pulled
out he said to the boys that it would be
his last run as he was going to retire
from the road the next day and spend the
remainder of his life i'm peace and COM
fort He spoke truly in part, for it was
his last run. He was going fifty miles an
hour when he met freight coming head
on. The engineer was instantly killed and
there was not much more than enough
of that engine left to make a sood-sized
fish sinker. II was the first accident and
the last run for both the engine and its
driver"

CAPT. o. VI. CARRIERS CASE.
Congress May Inquire as to the Ex-
penditures For HarbOr Work.
From the New York Adver1

From the New York Advertiser.
Washington, Nov. Git is believed that
congress will direct an investigation into
the case of Capt. 0. NJ. Carter, of the
corps of engineers, who is to be tried by
court martial upon charges of malfeasance
or gross carelessness. involving an UNI
necessary expenditure OF nearly 81, 500 coo
on river and harbor improvements at Sa-
vannah.
A remarkable phase of the case is that
$1,50,CO0 could have been at once expend-
cd by an officer without the proper treas
ury officials finding out that something
was wrong. II is asserted by army Off
Gals here that If Capt. Garter could spend
81 $4,000 on harbor when the law pro-
vided not one-tifth of that sum, nothing
could prevent other engineers from vast
ing an equally large amount in deepening
the channel of some unimportant water
way.

The Young Hawaiian's Institute is
coming more and more to the front
every day, simply by the force of the
good work that organization is doing
for the native youth. The members
are active and bright young men, all
of whom are engaged IN some line OF
work, but who do not find their busl-
ness of such a pressing nature that
they cannot spend an evening each
week in the enjoyment of pleasant So
cial intercourse.
Their little entertainments given
now end then have gained an enviable
reputation for them, and served TO
bring the people of Honolulu into
closer sympathy with the work of the
organization.
For two or three years past it has
been the custom of the Y. II. l. to give
an entertainment on New Years Eve.
On Thursday evening the rooms in
Foster Hall were beautifully decorated
for this regular celebration, and be-
fore o'clock people were forced to
stand on account of lack of room.
The Y. II. l. New Year Medley, by
w. ]. Cuelho, was given by the Glee
Club.
J. NJ. Poepoe, who had been asked 20
make a few remarks, not appearing,
VIM. j. Cuelho, one of the institute's
most active workers, was called upon.
In reponse Mr.. Cuelho thanked the
foreigners present for the interest they
had taken in their welfare, and en-
phasized the fact that foreigners we're
the ones who gave the Y. H. l. its first
encouragement Through their advice
they had profited greatly. The society
was growing in power, and the young
Hawaiians were beginning to learn its
power for good.
The Glee Club then sang "ka Owe
Re Kali
Next came the play entitled "The
Meeting of the Busy-Body Society,"
Following were the characters:
President. J. Crawford
Mr.. Weazel. of the Backstair Com
mittee James Kusha

was perhaps the best number on the
program. Germans present say that
the pronunciation by the boys was
nerfect. 1t was the first attempt at
singing a German song in the society.
After Our Own Melodies by the

and the remainder of the evening was
spent in pleasant converse.

Loveland's Popular Citizen Makes a March

A very quiet wedding occurred at the
parsonage of the First Methodist church

parties were Hon. Clarence J. Chapman,
of Loveland and Miss Charlotte Martin,
Of Pueblo. The groom is the popular

having control of the distribution of the
waters of sixteen counties in this state,
with headquarters at Denver. Heis one
OF the best known farmers and politicians
of Northern Colorado, the very soul of
honor and the father o. a considerable
brood of interesting children. The bride
has for several years been the accom-
pllshed and esteemed supervisor of the
female department at the states asylum
for the insane. The engagement was
one of several months standing, but the
wedding was hurrledly agreed upon
when Mr.. Chapman went to visit his
fance Saturday and all Northern Colo

Chapman's daughters who knew it was

lighted with the prospect of having so
admirable a mother. Indeed, it was
daughters mental troubles and her kind
care by the lady at the asylum that led
to this union. The daughter returned
home cured, but the father was smltten
with an incurable disease that only the
services of DR.. Wright could cure. The
bride has ranch in Otero county and
renamed south to look after that and
other business affairs, including her res
ignation at the asylum, and the happy
groom went home on the train last night
to break the good news to his children

had basely deserted her post and gone
with foul betrayer, but all will once
more be happy in the Chapman house.
