The movement to check intemperance
began on some of the eastern lines and is
now rapidly spreading over the country.
An operating official on one OF the pig
said that the reform had done more both
for the railroads and their employees than
any other movement undertaken. The
reform has not been confined to the ranks,
but has reached many OF the hlgher OF
ficials. Some of these have discontinued
carrying liquors on their private cars, feel

could not fairly expect subordinates to
be strictly temperate. Inc dlsm1SSaI OF

INTO A BALLAST TRAIN.
Missouri Pacific Ten Wheel Engine
Badly Damaged at Atchison.

Freight engine No. 800 of the Missouri
Pacific struck a string of loaded ballast
cars in the lower Atchison yards and was
derailed. The S22 is a gigantic ten-wheel
locomotive, and its great weight caused it
to be buried deep IN the soft soil beside
the track. 1t turned partially over, but
was only slightly damaged. Engineer
Fisher, when he saw that a collision was
inevitable, jumped and escaped without
injury, as did his fireman. When the
ballast cars were struck the force of the
collision broke a big Janney coupler off
the car nearest the engine, and this fell
upon the track in front of the engine, de-
railing it.
One car of ballast was driven squarely
upon top of another, where it remained
and the under car, being only slightly
damaged, the cars were hauled away in
the very condition in which they were left
by the wreck. The track was blocked
for eight hours, during which time trains
were run via the Kansas City track to
Leavenworth. The ballast cars had been
left the main track by a switch en-
gine. which was setting out some empties
on the stone quarry switch.

stitutes undue prejudice to Chicago.

A'WOMAN'S PLUCKY WORK.
Helps to Build q Home with Her Own
Hands and Saves q Sick Hus-
bands Life.

Five miles from Cucamonga, CAL,
lives a woman who is a carpenter and
paper hanger. She is Mrs. Minnie
Warner Ewing, formerly of St. Louis,
a society belle and a Vassar grad
uate. Her husband held a good posi-
ton, but consumption compelled him
to seek relief in California, and, with
$4,000 capital, the Ewings went west.
This money was soon expended, and the
wife found herself compelled to take
care of sick husband and make a
living at the same time. Mrs. Ewing
Preempted tract of government land,
hve miles from Cucamonga, in San
Bernadino county. In a few hours she
mad made a formal entry for quarter
section, and the next day the founda-
ton of her new home was laid. Early
in the morning Mrs. Ewing and a car
penter drove to her claim in lumber
wagon. BY eight o'clock she had
marked out the plan for a two-story
frame structure. Then, while the car
penter started building, she carted the
lumber from Cucamonga. This done
she then became the carpenters as
sistant.
Mrs. Ewing also assisted in shingling
the roof, and when this was completed
she gave the roof two solid coats of
paint. Then without assistance, Mrs.
Ewing constructed chimney IA feet
nigh, and just three weeks and four
days after her arrival her house was
complete at a cost of $4OO.
In the new home Mr.. Ewing's health
is fast improving, and he will soon be
able to take up farming.

ROYAL HUNTSMEN.
Queen Victoria Hns Set an Example
OF Mercy to Her Sport-Lov-
ing Lords.

1t is pleasing to learn that Queen Vic
toria disapproves of the "hecatombs of
game" that constitute feature at most
shooting parties nowadays in England.
That, at least, is one step in the direc-
ton of mercy, but even the queen can
not prevent the English love of sport.
Perhaps it is better so, remarks the
Boston Herald. She would be a very
unpopular sovereign if she did not al
low this concession Of three hours
shooting in the royal preserves. But
this edict forbidding her son and heir
to kill more game than can be consumed
is a royal slap at her German grand
son, and it is hoped it may have the
proper effect in Berlin court circles
when they. go a-hunting. There is only
one other place in England beside Wind
sor where the rule of three hours
shooting prevails. The duke of West
minister limits his guests also and is
exceedingly particular about the num-
Der of guns as we'll as the skill of those
who use them. 1t is sorry moment for
that guest who does n clumsy or un-
sportsmanlike thing to the dukes birds,
for he is always known, and, somehow
or other, gets reported at headquarters

which were given in The Green

Whom seen at his cottage in

had no comment to make upon
the action of his church acainst
him. He said that the committee
appointed some time ago by the
synod to examine the Rev Mr.
Todd and himself as to whether
they were teaching doctrines not
in consonance with those of the
church had not reported at the
time he and the Rev Mr. Todd
sent in their letters of withdrawal
to the Presbytery at Lancaster,
but that they knew that this cons
mlttee intended to report ad.
Versely to teen. Their letter of
withdrawal was formal, asking
for letters of dismissal and was
signed by himself and Mr. Todd.
The letter the Rev Mr. Holmes
received yesterday was also formal
and was signed by the clerk of
the Presbytery as official.
