Hard Luck.

A journal on the Southern Pacific
passenger line No. 1887, which left
here yesterday afternoon at 1886 for the
west, broke six miles west of Strauss
and ditched the engine. Word of the
accident did not arrive here until late
last night, at which time a wracking
crew was hurried to the scene pulled
by engine 1884. 1t took ten hours to
clear the track and the flyer, which
was following the passenger on it's first
trip over the road this
season was delayed that length of time.
The train is said to have been going
at a lively rate when the accident hap
pened but fortunately no one was in
jured. The 1887 brought back the
wreck train and the 1884 continued the
journey west. This was bad layout
for the flyer as it had made such
creditable run between Chicago and
this point and the company was trying
to run it into Los Angeles on time.
Pauline Hall probably said things. She
seemed to be in a mood to criticize.

The T. P. Flyer brought in two dis
tinguished passengers yesterday even
ing in the persons of Pauline Hall, the
actress, aud Dan HONG, the famous
horseman. Mr.. Honig is the owner of
"Magnet" which beat everything on
the coast last season. In conversation
at the train yesterday Mr.. Honig said
that he shipped sixteen horses to the

and that the fastest among them was
sour Climate" He said he had
profitable season east and that the he
expected good results from
the winter races In Cali
fornia. Regarding the record
made by Tod" Sloan, the jockey
rider, during the season just past, Mr..
Honig said: "The boy deserves great
credit. L met him in New York in
1887 and he did not have clothes
enough to cover him, nor did he have
money to buy new ones. He has built
himself up, and though his head at
present possesses an unnatural devel-
opment, taking hispast life into consid-
Grafton, it can be easily overlooked.
In my estimation he deserves great
| credit"

LINK AND PIN.

says: The retirement of Col. S. W.
Fordyce from the presidency of the
Cotton Belt route was much talked of
today in business and railway circles.
Col. Fordyce's influence was exerted in
many instances for the betterment Of
Waco. Uuder his administration q
handsome brick passenger depot was
built here and the freight depot
was rebuilt and enlarged. Mary street,
upon which the Cotton Belt route
built, was paved by the company and
land purch ased by q vote of the direc-
tors for widening the street. Col.
Fordyce was ever friendly to Waco
and its people and he will always be re-
membered here with gratitude.
Mr.. Edwin Gould, the new pres
dent, ia personally we'll known in this
city. to which he has been q frequent
isitorf before and since the death of
his distinguished father. Mr.. Jay
Gould, deceased, came here in 1887,
accompanied by bis son, Ed win, then a
beardless boy. They were entertain
ed by the commercial club and the
great financier afterwards spoke high
~ of Waco and it's people. He was
then in control of the Missouri, Kansas
ard Texas, which was operated as
part of the Missouri Pacific sys-
tenn.
Now that Mr.. Edwin Gould is presi-
dent of the Cotton Belt route, he will
be petitioned by the citizens to carry
out important Improvements here,
which Col. Fordyce favored and in
| tended carrying into effect had he con-
| tinued at the head of the Cotton Belt
system.

LONG Distance Runs

Little information which has not al
ready appeared was brought out by
the discussion tat the meeting of the
Western Railway Club on the subject
of running locomotives long distances.
Probably this was due to the fact that
the extension of locomotive runs is q
problem requiring different solution
for each road, and because it is now
generally conceded that To-
comotive runs should be as
long as the local conditions will permit.
Some idea, however, of the progress
| road Gazette, is got from the remarks
of some of the speakers, but it iea
| notable fact that on no one road have
all the means been tried for keeping
the locomotives In service q greater
part of the time. Thus Mr.. John
Mackenzie, superintendent of motive
power of the New York, Chicago and
ST. Louis, has given much attention to
the question of washing out boilers,
| locomotive boilers are washed out but
once for every 5000 miles.
This result is accomplished
by the systematic use of the
blow-off cocks. On other
roads, where the coal is bad, the main
difficulty in the way of long runs has
been the condition of the fire above
Lno CRATES anu tne ulllnS up Oh tne ASH
pan. In this connection Mr.. J. F.
Deems, of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy, referred to passenger
run on that road where the engine
made $50 miles with no trouble from
the fire becoming dirty. Mr.. Rhodes
stated that he was of the opinion that
with care in designing the firebox and
ash pan there should be no trouble in
running from $50 to 300 miles. And by
providing means for cleaning the
ash pans at stations and facilities for
| taking coal and water along the main
line of the road, he considered that the
distance which locomotive could be
run continuously was probably limited
only by the washing out of the boiler,
which Mr.. Mckenzie had shown could
be done less frequently than is now the
common practice: and by the endur
| aIce of the men.
