Lacked Clear Perception.

Railway Age: A long time ago I re-
peated the. story Of the new -superintend-
ent who started out to avoid fiat wheels
by. ordering all cars standing on sidings
to be moved once day so that the weight
would rest new spot. I had not
heard how he finally succeeded with that
road, but recently the information has
come to me Indirectly that he is now en-
gagged with another road. At least, it is
stated that when it was reported to the
superintendent of the road in question
that the observation platform on the linn
tied was usually crowded and passengers
were obliged to stand. he issued orders
that another observation car should be at
tached. It must be the same man.

vfous suit precluded him from recovering
against the railroad. company, but he got
permission to dismiss without prejudice.
Then he took billiard & Padgett in the
case and another suit was brought on the
ground that the bridge company was in
no way responsible for the accident This
point was sustained and they secured a
verdict for $500. This verdict was set
aside and another trial in 1895 resulted in
their securing verdict for 5000. After
almost three years the supreme court has

MAY ABOLISH FAST TRAINS.
Western Lines Have Found Them
Unprofi table.

Chicago. July 19.-Excess fares and 27
hour trains between Chicago and Denver
probably will be abolished within a month.
Three of the lines interested in this traffic,
it is reported. have reached the conclusion
that the fast trains have been failures and
that there is no longer any reason for
maintaining them.
The other Interested line has not been
heard from. and as it is the one which
has been most persistent in demanding
that the fast trains be maintained, it is
not yet certainty that the time sched-
ules will be heightened out to the old
basis and the excess fares be abolished.
