OVER THE TEA CUPS.

Mrs. Francis E. Warren has returned
for the season and opened her hand
some new house on Wyoming avenue.
She came east early in order to place
her daughter. Miss Francis Warren, in
school in Boston. She Is making a spe-
,cial study Of elocution, in which she
made splendid progress last season.
The senator will not come east for
some weeks yet; in fact. not until the
opening Of congress. Mrs. Warren is
n Of the most lovable of women. She
is interested in all works Of women.
She is literary, musical. has artistic
tastes, and most winning manners.
Having taken a more pretentious
house this year, Senator and Mrs. War
rem will probably entertain more extern
sively than they yer have before.
To be admired and loved by other
women is the greatest praise which can
he given a woman. This is just what
Mrs. Warren is. She Is state regent OF
the Daughters Of the Revolution. is a

LINKS AND PINS.

The steam shovel which has been

Henry G. Golden are shooting the fes-

1t is the intention of the management
to keep the shovel at Sherman work,
ing till about the first of December.
The demand for the gravel has been
constantly on the increase, and it is
probable that the year 1898 will see
its use greatly augmented. In the winter
season there is too much frost and cold
weather to permit of profitable opera
tions in this line.
President Thompson, of the Penn
sylvania, has decided to place the pneu-
matte automatic system of block sig
mailing on it's entire New York division,
extending from Philapelphia to Jersey
City. This system is used on portions
of the line, and it has proved to insure
not only safety against accidents, but
has been of service in the running of
trains.

RELl. II GREAT

Those who attended the performance
given by the magician at Maennerchor
last night are really not sorry thai
they went, because Bell illustrated in
the highest degree the typical bum
show. Those who saw Bell can o say
that they have seen the worst. Some
of his tricks were pretty fair 20 years
ago, when first presented by people
clever at the black art, but Bell don't
know how. In her entertaining novel;
ties" Miss Maye Belle Rother was just
as good as Bell, and may it be said to
her credit that she could dance as
well as she could sing. The other lady
didn't figure much in the performance.
What she did do. however. was all

Bell wants to show again tonight,
but il he does 1t will be in spite of the
protest OF the management of Maen-
nerchor.

manipulation by scalpers. Round-trip
tourist tickets from the eastern gate
ways OF western lines to the extreme
west are always sold at much less than
double one-way fares. This difference
gave the scalper a big margin, and at
Colorado points, about midway of the
journey and the terminal Of one set Of
roads honoring these tickets. he was
particularly active. One-way travellers
purchased round-trip tickets, and by
selling the remaining coupons to scalp
ers at their destination were able to
greatly reduce their own expenses.
Interested lines had no desire to
wipe out tourist rates, but found that
they must do something to protect
their regular one-way business. The
Sebastian ticket requires that the cou-
pom not to be used west of Colorado
common points be deposited with
agents there until the owner returns
for them on his way home. Other tech
nical conditions. it was thought. would
prevent the scalper from dealing in the
transportation. The joint agent de-
clares that not a single ticket has been
manipulated by the brokers during the
entire Observation-Disclosures.

A RAILROAD SCHOOL.

For ten years past Hungary has had
a special school for the instruction OF
railroad employees. which is managed
by the government in association with
the railroad administrations. The
school is intended primarily to fit men
for station. telegraph and commercial
service. In these 10 years it has turn
ed out about 1,S00 men. The students
have first 10 months instruction in the
schools at Buda-Pesth and then three
months service on a railroad, the lat
ter being an indispensable part of the
course The subjects taught are rail-
road construction and equipment, geo
graphy, history OF the development of
railroads, railroad law, railroad arith-
metic and bookkeeping. an account Of
materials and goods, and railroad sani-
tation. Only practical railroad men are
to serve as teachers. Sub
all the graduates enter rail-
road service Immediately in the lowest
grades, and the school is considered to
have been Of great value to the rail-
roads.

OF LOCAL INTEREST.

Two railway Embarrassing decisions
IF ~far-reaching Importance have bee l
handed down by the New Jersey su-
preme court during the past week, says
he GlObe-Democrat. The first decis-
ion was in a suit by the Erie railroad
against the city of Newark, N. j., and
vas decided in favor of the railway.
rhe city of Newark had opened a street
lcross the tracks of the railway. The
,ailway company was awarded in the
over courts the sum of $3.50 for the
Expense Of planking and similar work
n making the crossing. 1t asked to be
allowed also for the expense of erect
,ng and maintaining gates at the cross
.ng. but the lower courts denied this
claim. This last ruling has been over
brown by the supreme court, which
lolds that the taking of a railways
property for street purposes is an ac-
lion emitting the road to damages, and
compensation must include all moneys
which the act causes the company to
pay out, and the erection and main
enance of gates is an added expense
Tor which the company is entitled to
ask compensation. The decision is held
oy many lawyers to be so sweeping that
every municipality desiring to open
new streets across railway lines will
not only have to pay for the right of
way, but will be compelled to maintain
gates and gatemen there in perpetuity.
b decision. it is thought. will also
lend to bring about the abolition of
grade crossings, since it will be cheaper
N the end to cross over or under the
railway line than to maintain gates
and gatemen.
The second decision is in a case be-
tween the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad and the township Of Ewing,
in Mercer county. The railway was
convicted in the county courts of main
tanning a nuisance in having no gates
or tlagman at a certain crossing. The
supreme court reversed this decision,
holding that a railway company is not
obliged to take any greater %precaution
for the protection of crossings than is
exacted by the statutes, the only ex-
ception being where the company had
created a danger by its own act. The
statutes make it necessary in most in
stances only to ring a bell or blow a

KILLING OF SNYDER.
THE DETAILS OF ROCK SPRINGS
LATEST SANGUINARY
ROW.
Killing Of A c. Snyder, an Attor-
ney-at-Law of the Coal Camp-He
Was Hit Over the Head With a
Billiard Cue and Skull Fractured.
August kimmie Is Unde

This community was shocked by the
occurrence Of a tragedy, last week,
which resulted in the death OF Attorney
C. A. Snyder and the arrest Of August
Kimmie, a bartender in the Metropoli-
tan saloon. on a charge Of murder.
About 2 o'colck on Thursday night
Mr.. Snyder reach"' In a
semi-conscious condition with his
clothing tori and covered with blood.
Mrs. Snider was alarmed and wished
to send for a doctor but her husband
protested, stating that there was noth>
ing serious the matter with him. He
"a unable to tell where he had been
and Ora Smith, who boards with the
Snyder family. started out to investi-
gate. AS a fresh nov had fallen he
found it easy to track the injured man
to the rear of the Metropolitan saloon
and by the disturbed condition Of the
snow he decided that Mr.. Snyder had
been a victim to foul play. He returned
and told Snyder what he had discov-
cred but the man had no recollection
Of having been at the saloon mention
ed, being at the Occidental saloon early
in the evening, but could not state what
time he left.
Further developments led to the ar
rest of August Kimmie. The accused
man did not deny having struck Mr..
Snyder but stated that it was done in
self defense, as Snyder had attacked
him with a knife.
Mr.. Snyder was not thought to be
seriously injured at first, but when
DR.. Freeman was called at 9 o'clock
Friday morning. 1t was found that a
fracture of the skull was the cause for
greatest fear and the patient was then
lelirious. DR.. Freeman called DR.. Reed
in consultation and 1t was decided that
an operation was the only means Of
saving the patients life, and even with
the operation no assurance Of life was
given. The operation was performed
by DR.. Reed at the hospital at 2 O'Clock
IN Friday. A section of the skull about
he size Of a silver dollar was found to
e crushed and broken so badly that 1t
las taken out in small pieces. 1t was
lso found that the brain covering was
.ruised and clotted blood had interior
d with the circulation in the brain.
It was not until Saturday morning
hat Mr.. Snyder revived into a semi
conscious state and was able t o under
stand what was said to him and this
state was of short duration. On Satur-
lay night at II o'clock he passed away.
A coroner's jury consisting of w. W.
OeCamp. w. w. Paterson and VIM. Rae
a empaneled and heard evidence re-
sarding the death Of C. A. Snyder on
Monday. After the available evidence
was in, the jury decided that the de-
ceased came to his death from the eff
fects of a blow administered by August
Kimmie.
August Kimmie appeared for prelimi-
nary examination before Justice Mel
Tor Wednesday. Attorney David G..
Thomas, in behalf Of his client, waived
examination and asked for bail. JUS
tice Mellor fixed the amount of the
bond at $1,000, which was promptly
furnished. The cas- will be tried in the

On a great big chunk Of ice,
And the thoughts that | am thinking.

But now I'm standing pat"
There's only one thing l don't need,
And that is "anti-fat."
We have frozen dog for dinner.
Pack-saddle soup for tea,
And tomorrow morn my partner
Says he'll commence on me.
There is gold piled all around me,
But it is not good to eat:
I'd rather be back in Wyoming
And live on "rustled" meat.
I've tried my best to shed a tear.
But I wept big pills OF ice.
II could blot these pages. May.
I'd do 1t in a trice.
Farewell. darling May,
These brief lines are my last.
Upon a great big cake OF Ice
I'm frozen stiff and fast.
The northern blasts around me blow,
And make my whiskers curl,
Reminding me- of Rockaway Beach,
Where l kissed a Boston girl.
Farewell, my darling May,
Go marry a rancher's son,
And real tow headed children
Where the festive mavericks run.
And should your lot some times seem
hard,
Or fate appear unkind,
Just read this letter from a man
Who left his girl behind.
