The following is taken from the
Saginaw Courier-Herald:
Hon. Peter White, of Marquette,
a lifelong Democrat, declares he
cannot support the free silver ticket,
and has practically abandoned the
Democratic party. Mr.. White keeps
in very close touch with the gold
Democrats of the state and his
sentiments are largely those of other
prominent and influential Demo
Gratis, who stood by the Republican
platform in the last presidential
campaign. There lis no doubt that
the gold and silver wings of the
Democratic party are permanently
separated by the action of the Grand
Rapids convention, and that the
gold Democrats have permanently
swung into the Republican fold. +"

STEEL RAILROAD TIES.
Advantages and Cheapness Proved,
at Least in Warm Climates.

The steel tie has passed the experimental
stage in Mexico, says a writer in the Rail-
way Age, and has well nigh displaced
wood on the roads running south and east
about tWO-thirdS of all the ties are now
steel, costing from $225 to $3.50 in silver.
the rest being of oak. costing about Sc
cents Mr. Cory thinks that steel ties
pay IN a hot country and on crooked lines,
although he places the life of good oak
ties and untapped pine, with the gum in
II, at from nVe to seven years, which is
much longer than is claimed on other
roads.
General Manager Morcom. after a trial
OF seven years, finds no perceptible re-
duction in the weight of steel ties. and is
emphatic in asserting their advantages.
AFTER being thoroughly ballasted in good
gravel, which, he says. cant blow and
won't wash he declares section men
are needed to keep the track up on his
llne- he does not disturb the track once
year, and retains a few trackmen more
Tor appearance sake than anything else.
He has heightened out his sections to ten
miles, and on that stretch now employs
only a foreman at $3.50 a day. with a
track walker and two section men at so
cents each. For the last month the cost
OF keeping up a ten mile section was only
SS0-5O. Mr.. MOrcOm differs from many
other managers in opposing stone ballast
for steel ties He tried it and says that
the ties viii not stay in place. while with
gravel they are entirely satisfactory.
The 1nteroceanic railway had steel ties
on One-th1rd OF its line in January, and
has since put in many more In four years
II laid $4,000 Chief Engineer Ingram
states the cost at &6 per ton for six
foot ties, weighing 30 pounds or 50. % sill
Yer; per tie Oak ties cost about 70 cents
The standard gauge Mexican railway
vera Cruz line-is now completely equip
ped with steel ties and General Manager
Foote considers them good for so years.

WITH A LOCOMOTIVE.
New Jersey Police Have New Way
to Capture Tramps.


Trenton, n. J., Aug. 17.-Chasing tramps
with locomotive was the unusual and
exciting experience of Special Officers
Veitch and Vanhorn of the police force of
this city early this morning.
Charles Moore who said that he was q
bicycle instructor from New York, rushed
into the central police station at midnight
and excitedly told the sergeant that he had
been held up at Coalport, in the eastern
suburbs of the city, and robbed OF a gold
watch and large sum of money. A squad
of a dozen men was quickly organized
horn. They boarded a locomotive and
started for Coalport. Each man was
armed and desperate work was looked
for.
Coalport is a coaling station for the en-
gines on the Pennsylvania railroad and is
When the locomotive reached a point a
quarter Of a mile beyond COalpOrt, a num-
Der of tramps were seen running along
the tracks in the direction of the woods
The engine went after the men at top
speed. They sprinted along the ties for
a short distance and then turned and
sent a volley of bullets at the locomotive.
The shots were answered by fusillade
from the men in the cab and on the ten
der. This scattered the tramps and they
ran through fields for the woods. The
railroad runs through the wood, and
through the underbrush the glow of
camp fire could be seen, and the officers
Around the fire sat fifteen men. and the
capturing party surrounded the camp
and ordered the men to hold up their
hands They were on their feet in an in
slant and three of them shot at the Of
ficers and dove into the brush, making
their escape. The others surrendered.
Plumber OF every character was found
in the camp, and all that was valuable
was put on the locomotive.
Twelve trampS were bagged, and they
When they gave their Occupations it was
found that there was blacksmith among
them, a matchmaker, a tailor, a baker, a
painter, telegraph operator and an en-
men, and said they had taken to tramp

Santa Fe Will Put Barber
Shops on Limited Trains.
First Attempt of This Hind on
Western Roads.
EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1
Newton VIII Have a Railroad
Y. NJ. C. A.
Steel Ties DispIace Wood on
Railroads of Mexico.
EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1

The composite cars to be used in the
equipment of the Santa Fe limited
trains 3 and 4, when the service is re-
newed with the new fall time card, have
been ordered fitted with barber shops
by the Santa Fe management in this
city.
Hereafter passengers on the santa re
limited trains can enjoy all the comforts
and accommodations of a first class no
tel without ever leaving the train The
composite cars have heretofore contain
ed writing and reading rooms, but bar
Der shops are an innovation on any Of
the roads west of Chicago.
Each car will have one barber chair,
and the tonsorial apartment will be
fitted with all the appliances and equip
ment necessary in an up-tO-date barber
shop. Hot and cold water will be pro-
vided, and only competent BARRIERS viii
be employed.
This is a move which will be greatly
appreciated by the male portion OF
the hundreds of people who take pas
sage on the Santa Fe limited trains
each winter. The trip from Chicago to
the coast consumes four days, and in
that length of time wfiskers can make
wonderful progress. The trains do not
stop long enough at any station to en-
able passengers to secure a shave.
The limited trains will probably be
resumed about October l, as travel to
California generally commences early
in that month.

Work of Cremating the Bodies
of the Dead
From the Spanish Camp at San
tiagO Continues.
RAIN QUENCHED FIRE.
Leaving a Stack of Bodies but
Half Burned.
Others Are ROtting In Open
Collins.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 1.-THE
Eighth Illinois arrived this forenoon
and will garrison and police the city.
The bodies of the dead Spaniards con-
tinue to be cremated. Over 700 have
been burned so far. This afternoon
seventy were to be burned. Over two
rails a dozen bodies are stretched and
a cross them another dozen and about
thirty corpses are stacked in an inn
mense funeral pile ten feet high. The
pile is then saturated with kerosene
and the torch applied. A fall of rain
put out the fire, causing the bodies to
be only half burned. Around the pile
lay twenty-five collins containing
corpses in a state of decomposition. Sew
eral naked bodies were strewn upon
the ground in a condition Of putrefac-
ton. Altogether about seventy IN
buried and unconsumed bodies were
there. The stencil was terrible This
happened at a cemetery within the city
limits. The authorities and the Gem
etery officials say it is impossible to
get men to work at the cremation.
Wages of a dollar a day prove no in
ducement to the natives to work at
this gruesome toll
The unconsumed bodies will be left
upon the earth until tomorrow when
cremation. These seventy cOrpseS rep
resent two days dead from the Spanish
camp The danger to the population
from the stencil, the presence of the
buzzards, vultureS and flies is inca1cul-
able.

LIKE THE DELPHIC ORACLE
Attorney General Boyle Answers Gov
Grout in Noncommittal Way.

Attorney General Boyle recently re-
ceived a letter from Governor Grout
of Vermont asking about several Kan
sas laws, the prohibitory law in par
ticular. Governor >Grout asked to what
extent the law was enforced, and if
liquor was sold at all how the sale was
conducted To these inquiries Mr..
Boyle has made the following reply;
1.-THE constitution of the state Of
Kansas contains the following provis-
ion upon the subject of intoxicating
liquors.: Article Is, section 10, The
manufacture and sale Of intoxicating
liquors shall be forever prohibited in
the state except for medical, scientific
and mechanical purposes.
1.-THE legislature of the state has
enacted appropriate legislation for the
stringent enforcement of said constitu-
tionaI provision, and the various cities
of the state have ordinances on the
subject With the exception of some
of the larger cities the laws are en-
forced generally to the extent Of
abolishing open saloons and open sale
of Intoxicating liquors except for medi-
cal, scientific or mechanical purposes
In some of the larger cities saloons are
more or less open under a system of
monthly fines collected blythe municipal
authorities of such cities, and there is
more or less clandestine selling in other
places The enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law depends to a considerable
extent upon the public sentiment of
each locality, and is more stringent in
some localities than in Others"
