form of the supreme court OF the UNI
ted States the better it will suit the
railroads. Failing, however, in legis-
lation on the subject and supposing
that the law remains as the supreme
court has decided, against railroad
pooling and agreements under present
statutes, the natural tendency OF the
railroads will be 20 follow the general
trend of the other business Of the coun-
try. This will not be rapid process,
but the tendency will be sure. The
weaker lines will be unable to stand
the strain of irregular rates, and the
wholly uncertain or unremunerat1ve
compensation which follows. They
will not be able to raise the money
which the stronger line can to take
advantage of every invention, every i'm
provement, every elimination of grade
crossing. every lowering of grade,
every taking out of curves, every sub
stitution of machinery and automatic
of carrying. So they will be bankrupt
ted and ultimately absorbed by the
stronger lines, aud the business of the
country will be in the hands of the lat
ter. This absorption and
the consequent formation of
few gigantic corporations
to do the carrying business of the
country would threaten another rail-
way agitation, whether wise or not,
and long period of general disturb
ance of business-that sort of dis
turbance which makes bad times, be-
cause the business men have factors to
deal with in legislation and in uncer-
tain rates which make it impossible
for the wisest head to forecast the fut-
ure.

document If congress in a calm, broad
way will take up the whole question
and so legislate that the public and
the railways and their investors
and their employees may be fully pro-
tected; that large freedom for agree
ment may be granted to the rail-
ways among themselves under strict
supervision and rigid control of the
government of the United States. If

The T. p. SCooped.

The Texas Midland executed q neat
coup on the Texas & Pacific at Paris
Sunday. The latter road had a spur
trick running to the oil mill, and the
Midland wanted to build into the yard
and couldn't without going over the
formers track. The ground on which
the Texas 81 Pacific is built belonged
to the oil mill company, which was
willing for the Midland to enter. Fear
inf injunction, the Midland gathered
q force Of about sixty section hands
from sections along its road from Paris
to Terrell and laid the track on Sun
day, without the Texas & Pacific Of
fcials knowing anything until the track
was built. The Midland straddled the
Texas & Pacific track by using it's
crossties and placing rail On each
side of one OF its rails, BY request of
the oil mill people, the Texas & Pacific
had moved all its cars out of the yards
the night before without suspecting
what was up and the gates were closed
and barricaded with cotton bales till
the work was completed.

Death In The Yards

A sad accident occurred in the local
railroad yards, late yesterday after
noon, says the Las Vegas Optic,
by which Switchman A. T.
GODDARD lost his life. This young man,
apparently less than % years of oge.
had been employed but about ten days
or two weeks, at this point, coming
from Topeka, where his wife remain
ed. During the day yesterday a car
chute, and he was charged
with having caused it, as he was doing
the signaling. This seemed to break
him all up, and evidently caused him
to be nervous and not altogether him
self. Late in the afternoon, in making
up train, some cars were being run
along to couple on to car standing on
q track. These cars were provided
with the new automatic coupling
bumpers, which lock If only one Of
them be open, and which can be open
ed or closed from the side of the car
without going between them at
all. When the approaching cars had
nearly reached the stationary one,
GODDARD noticed that the bumper on the
latter was closed, and without noticing
that the bumper was open on the ap-
preaching car. and without thinking
that he could open it from the side, he
rushed in to open it with his hand,
petting his cody directly in front of
the bumper. Here he was caught by
the bumper of the moving car, and
completely mashed through the middle
of the body, death following In about
two hours. He soon became uucon-
scious, and it Is d. ubtful il he ever
realized his condition. His father-in-
law, AL Walden, ysrdmaster, left for
Topeka with the remains this morn
ing.
