The Sloane Separation.

New York society is torn all to
pieces and the Four Hundred given
ample grounds for gossip by the recent
announcement of the separation of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry T. Sloane:
Henry T. Sloane is millionaire and
his family lived at Newport in a
palace during the summer. One
night the husband left home ostensibly
for the city but be did not go there.
The Commercial hotel was convenient,
and he registered there naturally un-
der name other than his own, for
1t would be as we'll Newport should not
know that he had become tired of Reef
Point. But it would seem the hotel
accommodations were not all he had
hoped. By IL o'clock or Whereabouts
he had had enough of 1t, and decided
that his own jewel of a place was better
shelter after all. So he returned to
Reef Point. And it was late, and there
was a guest there to whose presence
he objected. Sloan is q relative of the
Vanderbilts and Chauncey Depew
Mrs. Sloan prior to her marriage was
possessed of q fortune. She was young
and beautiful and butterfly of society.
Her husband had amassed millions and
devoted his attention to amassing
more. He was elderly and bald head
ed. His wife sighed in her gilded
palace at Newport and pinned for more
congenial society. The erring wife
was surprised by the husband while q
younger man was guest at her house.
The separation followed.

blizzard, all reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding
Strange, But True.

The HERALD yesterday contained an
account of fourteen car loads of cattle
coming to this side to be shipped to
Cuba. 1t seems that ten cars came
across first and were inspected accord
ing to the requirements of the law, but
the following four, in some manner,
were overlooked by the inspec-
tors, and were brought to this
side and unloaded into the pens
with the cattle that had
been inspected. The mistake was not
detected until the train WAS made up
and ready to go out and orders were
given to hold it until the inspectors
had done their work. The four loads
were mixed among the ten and it was
necessary to go all over the train load
of fourteen loads which caused q great
delay to the train.

Martin, of the same line. Immediate
ly upon mis- arrival the party went
through the various departments of
the G. 81. here and it ia needless to say
that everything was in first class
order. After mpleting their tour of
the railroad property at this point the
party left here on train registered
as the second section sof No. 10 for the
east.
Kruttschnitt, who has become so
famous as railroad manager, enter
ed his railroad career as civil en-
gineer with the Morgan line. He
displayed such wonderful ability that
he was soon advanced to the position
of division superintendent and from
that to assistant manager, and so ne
assembled the ladder of fame and res
portability until to day he stands fore
most as a railroad magnate and social
citizen.
His headquarters are in SanFrancisco
to which place he will return after hsv-
ing made tour of the lines, under his
Jurisdiction.

His screams had the effect of soaring

ported to the police yesterday morning

The Mercury in the Cab.

cit does make me extremely tired, -
said a fireman yesterday, "to hear men
who are supposed to be practical rail
road men, talking about how warm it
is in the cab of an engine during a cold
snap. l have had brakemen come in
to the cab during the last cold
spell and remark that had soft
time of it because it was, as he
said, very in there. To hear a man
talk like that tires me much more than
firing q compound. Such is not the
case. Any engineer will bear me out
ia the assertion that it is as cold in
the cab almost as it Els outdoors
These same men who are say
ing that it is so comfortable in
the cab in winter say that
it ia cool in the cab in summer. 1
would like to have them tell Just

@. K. Rettew, who has been here for
some time past in the interest of the
Baldwin Locomotive works, heard the
name of Derr mentioned and took the
liberty of asking this mans business.
Mr.. Rettew was informed that Mr..
Derr was an engineer on the G. 81.
Rettew remembered firing for man

investigate. He learned when En-
gineer Derr would be in here with his

Derr as his engineer of % years ago

Fairbanks and when his train pulled
into the depot it was met by great
throng of people headed by the band
of that place. Carriages were provid-
ed to convey the party through tn e
city and when Mr.. Fairbanks appeared
on the platform he was cheered to the
echo. After the cheering ceased Mr..
Fairbanks said that he was
more than pleased with
the demonstration rendered
his party and that he was we'll pleased
with the surrounding conditions.
"You have everything here" he said,
;'to make great city and 1 trust we

gracefully and then entered q carriage
which was waiting for him. Regard
ing the fact that the.people of Phoenix

rates with the completion of this road,
his last remark was most significant.

From 200 threats came back the fierce
response:

1t nerved the men of Houston. 1t
