A TIE on the Track.

A passenger who came up from down
the Burlington yesterday, says the Pho
neer Times Of the 9th inst, says that
while going down the night before an
accident occurred that convinced him
that an attempt had been made to do
the Burlington passenger train mis-
chief. He noticed the train slack its
speed suddenly, while going at a 80.
mile rate, and come to a complete
standstill. He and several of the pas
sengers got out in time to see the train
men moving a tie from under the en-
CINE. 1t had apparently been placed
directly across the rails, and the engine
had hit it so hard that it had broken in
two in the middle. From the fact that
it had been broken in the middle made
it appear as if it had been fastened ia
the rails. 1t failed to throw the engine
from the rails, This happened at Fish
& Hunters siding, this side ofHill City
The tie had been placed in a deep cut
and the engineer was unable to see il
until almost upon it. A quick applica
ton Of air and the reverse lever was
probably what ayerted an accident.
1t was found upon investigation that
the obstruction was placed on the track
by a boy whose name could not be
learned. He was captured, however,
and when Intercepted in regard to his
object he said, II just wanted to see her
jump the track"

About 1900 animals comprise the
live stock show at the Trans-Mississ-
ippi Exposition at Omaha.-the larg-
est number of animals ever gathered
together for show purposes at any one
time in the United States. The quail
ity, also, is especially fine. In this
respect the wonderful display at the
Worlds Fair is entirely out-classed.
Almost all of the exhibitors arc own
ers of large stock farms and the entries
they have made are the pick of their
pets Rarely has any one breeder
brought more than one variety. The
Holstein cattle shown by w. L. Bar
ney, L W. Chappell and Stephens and
son are attracting great deal of at
tcntion, as are also the Red Polled
variety shown by s. A. Converse, j. w.
Martin and McElvy and son. There
are . few exhibits from Canada in
sheep and swine that are somewhat
different from the varieties that are
so common with exhibitors from this
country. They include pen of York
shire hogs and couple of flocks of
Lincoln and Cotswold sheep.
Ottawa people are feeling particu-
larly good over the results of sinking
their last gas well. 1t is believed to
have nearly double the pressure Of
any of their other wells, and it is coh-
sidered as settled that there is an
abundance Of gas underlying Ottawa.
