SHOOTING.
Colored Soldiers of the Twenty-fourth
Make Targets of Each Other,

AT an early hour yesterday morning
another shooting took place in the
West EHd-this time in a dive. As a
result two coiored soldiers of the
Twenty-fourth infantry were wounded,
though not dangerously. One Of the
men was shot through the stomach,
while the other received a bullet in the
leg.
All efforts to learn the particulars of
the d~isgraceful affair were of no avail,
as the keepers of the resort, who knew
anything about the matter, maintained
a profound silence regarding the same.
1t Is known, however, that a physician
OF Cheyenne was called out Of bed and
the wounds Of two private SOL
diers. Ono Of the fellows told the doc
tor that they had been shot by a COM
rade who was drunk and who raised a
racket in a West End house.
The soldiers who participated in the
affair, as we'll as those who witnessed
1T, hurried back TO Fort Russell, and at
this time the officers have not learned
their names, although efforts are being
made to a%pprehend the guilty ones

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SURVEY.

The party OF engineers ;hd' vas en-
CARED in running lines for a new route
between Cheyenne and Laramie has
suspended operations for the winter.
When the Iarty quit work it was at a
point northeast of Granite Canon.
This fact would indicate that the CON-
pany was rot altogether satisfied with
the line run to the south Of the present
track, and that an endeavor was being
made to secure a more favorable grade
to the north. A glance at the map re-
veals the fact that it is not more than
five or six miles from the head Of Crow
creek to the head of Havney creek, al
though Dale creek passes between them
and flows to the south. 1t might take
some t%unneling above the Atherly
ranch, but it is believed that a route
much better than the present one could
be secured by passing up Crow creek
to its source and then down Harvey
creek on the other side. 1t is under
stood the engineers will resume work
again next spring.

WORK IN SIGHT.

Business on the Union Pacific is still
looming and everybody connected with
the system has about all he can do, but
1t is quite probable that in a few days
the volume Of traffic will be largely in
creased. Owing to the burning Of snow
sheds on the Central Pacific last week,
business was blocked for some days,
and it is now stated that the latter road
will shortly deliver to the Union Pacific
at Ogden over 600 loads of freight
which has accumulated on the western
end of the C. p. This amount Of freight
added to the already large business
will be a severe test for the Overland
system, but nobody doubts that it will
be equal to the occasion.

THE HELPER SERVICE.

During the present rush on the Union
Pacific the helper service on the Sixth
district has not proved hat unqualified
success it did in the summer season
and the days of regular trains sticking
close to schedule. With a dozen long.
heavy trains on the district, it is the
hardest kind of a matter for a dispatch
er to figure his power so as not to lose
considerable time somewhere and the
result is heavy overtime charges on ac-
count Of sidetrack time. When a pusher
takes n train up a hill the next train
must wait till it returns. in many cases,
and this not only causes delay, but extra
expense. Many are Of the opinion that
the company would derive great profit,
particularly during a heavy and long
continued rush, by cutting down its
trains and using one engine only to the
train. In this way there would be prac-
tically no delay in getting IN and out
of sidetracks and everything along the
line would move in a freer manner
Stock shippers have urged that mn
thing should be done for their benefit
in the matter Of quick time. In the
old days of small trains and one engine
to the train 1t was no uncommon thing
for a stock train to come from Rawlins
to Laramie in five hours aud even less,
but now the condition Of business h

TRAVEL PAY ALLOWED.
Word Comes From Denver That Torrey
Has Carried His FONT.

Colonel Jay l.. Torrey left Cheyenne
for Washington yesterday for the pur-
pose of trying to induce the war de-
partment to allow travel pay to volun-
teers who were absent on furlough at
the time the regiment was mustered
out. If the following from the Denver
News is true, it would seem that the
c%olonel's trip is unnecessary. The
News says:
The secretary of war has directed
that travel pay be allowed members Of
Torrey's regiment who came home on
furolugh. Notice OF the order has been
given Colonel Torrey and officers Of the
command in the west. The order applies
to 2lO men and will make a difference
of more than $4,000 in amount Of
money to be distributed by the govern
ment. 1t is the impression OF Major
Sniffen, chief paymaster Of the depart
meut of Colorado, that the order will
apply to all volunteers in circumstances
like those of the Torrey regiment. All
f%urloughed men in the volunteer SER
vice, under this ruling. may be eligible
for travel money. 1t is the first order
Of the kind that has been known for
many years and is considered by some
officers as a bonus to the volunteers.
Each Of the f%urloughed men Of Torrey's
regiment will now be able to draw $50
in cash as his share OF the total
amount"

NEWS OF THE RAIL
DEMONSTRATIONS AS TO THE
PROBABILITY OF A
CHANGE IN TINE.
Engines of the 400 Glass Will Pull No.
/ From Laramie to Rawlins-They
Are Now Being Equipped With
Larger Drivers-Pusher Service
Unsatisfactory in a Rush.

Because of its wonderful business and
activity in every department.. the I'm
ion Pacific is just now of much interest
to the reading public. All are wonder
ing what will be the next move upon the
checkerboard of western railways and
nOne have any doubt but that the great
Overland will ever be the winner in the
transportation game. 1t is so situated
that competitors have little show in a
wal of rates and are compelled to take
what is left. The policy of throwing
Open.all gateways is a sort of free trade
policy-a notice to all roads that the
Overland is open for business and is
ready to compete with the very best.
This new move will doubtless bring
much more traffic from Denver and the
southeast by the way of Cheyenne and
will result in materially reducing the
business of the Rio Grand Western.
One thing, which has been quite I'M
satisfactory of late, will doubtless be
remedied in the near future, and that
is the late trains. During the latter
days of the exposition at Omaha the
rush was tremendous and late trains
were unavoidable, and since thai time
passenger traffic has beer so heavy that
that it has been found neXt TO impos-
sible to keep a train on schedule time.
Those who have given attention to the
business of the road have been of the
opinion h a a nov would soon be
made to divide the mail from passen-
ger trains and that there would be-three
trains instead of two from Cheyenne to
Granger at least. A new time card Is
but the scope of the changes to be made
cannot be ascertained at this time.
Against the three-train idea the argu-
ment is advanced that heavier engines
are now being rebuilt at Omaha for the
purpose of pulling train No. / over the
Sixth district. Two of these engines
are now in the service between Rawlins
and Green River and are giving excel
lent satisfaction. They are Of the 14OC
class and are about the same kind of an
engine as the lSOOs used in the passen-
ger service in Nebraska. Originally
they had four and one-half foot driv-
ers, but they were reduced to four feet
and now they are receiving a six-foot
wheel. These heavy engines, equipped
with a siX-foot wheel. will, it is believ-
ed. be able to pull No. l from Laramie
to Rawlins at a speed better than the
present schedule time. if necessary.

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-03-27
Julius Syct Son. The Tower, Corner Second and Broad

monitor as against the modern battleship.
In paper read at st. Louis before tho
Military Order OF the Loyal Legion, this
gallant retired officer sets forth with I'M
common spirit his ideas about the vul-
nerability Of ships of the class of the
Iowa, and his superior faith in the old
Ericsson type He asks:
What is the matter with the monitor,
that those who design our ships and who
do not go to sea in them must have bat
tleships? The two-turreted monitor is
fighting ship pur ct simple, stripped TO
the waist, and has no solar pleXus. She
does not require q man of cast-steel 10
get out of her all She is capable of. Her
main deck is only II to 16 inches above
water, presenting an armored target that
high. and about go feet long. On top OF
this are two low turrets, containing each
two heavy rifles. On top of them is llght
superstructure, in which are Few hshl
guns for repelling boarders, torpedo
boats, &c. With equal guns she can whlp
any battleship afioat."
This characterization of the monitor IS
worth quoting, for II is vigorously Drawn.
The question of the comparative value OF
the two types Of heavy fighters Is Oh
great interest at the present time Out
the controversy can be carried TOO iar.
Not battleship or monitor, but pattie-
shin and monitor, is the urgent subject
iust now. There may be chance later
IN solve forever the question or their rei-
alive efficiency in action. When the tihe
~ trial comes, may the better type WIN
MEANWHILE the country needs ooth types
and relies on both.

Notwithstanding the large amount Of
insurance in force, the actual death
losses for 1897 were less than In the pre-
yious year, and the dividends paid were
larger than ever before
The Penn pays it's claims promptly. and
has not a contested claim on its books.
