TWO FREIGHT WRECKS.

Two freight wrecks occurred Tues
day evening, both of which seemed to
be almost unavoidable on account of
the storm, but fortunately no n was
hurt, although there were several mar
row escapes.
Engineer DeForest was going west
pulling a freight and crashed into the
caboose of a train ahead of him. The
occupants of the caboose, Conductor
Fitzgerald and crew and two section
men, jumped just in time. DeForest
saw the caboose just in time to whistle,
reverse his engine and put on air and
sand, but on account Of the snow and
ice it was hard to stop at all quickly.
The engine crashed into the caboose
and some steam escaped and filled h
caboose. The damage was not great.
The engineer found it next to impos-
sible to see ahead Tuesday afternoon
because a severe blizzard was raging
west of Laramie so that the windows
of the cab in front and side were coat
ed with snow and ice and it was i'm
possible to keep them clear so as to
see ahead and even then the storm was
so bad that an engineer could not see
ahead 100 feet and even could not see a
sign board or mile post on account of
the storm, and could not tell where he
was until he struck the switch at
| Cooper Lake. On the side-track were
two trains, the caboose Of the second
train being the one wrecked.
Another wreck occurred Tuesday
evening, at Wyoming station, sixteen
| milese west of Laramie. A west-bound
freight pulled by two Seventh district
engineers, Murphy and Burns, ran into
| the rear end Of another freight, and
Conductor Kerrigan and crew barely
had time to jump when the caboose
was torn to pieces by the engine, which
went through it and into the next ar.
1t was storming 50 that it was impos-
sible to see ahead and the first train
was proceeding slowly when the crash
came. The past storm has been some
thing terrible west of Laramie.

THE SOUTH BEFORE THE WAR

THE SOUTH BEFORE THE WAR"
1t would seem by the crowds around
the Third Avenue theater box office at
all hours Of the day. that every man,
woman and child in the city had made
up their minds to see the great Passion
Play. which, in connection with Harry
Martells South Before the War; is
holding the boards at that popular
house this week. These pictures have
not only the advantage of being among
the clearest and most distinct ever seen
here, but the object is one Of the most
interesting in the world. This devout
rite, given with a religious fervor that
speaks volumes, Is impressive in the
extreme.
As for South Before the War" it.
self, too much cannot be said in it's
favor. 1t is Just what 1t claims to be
"a portrayal Of typical slavery days
scenes and Incidents, pumctuated by ex-
cellent specialties and made hilariously
funny by clever comedians. The cake
walk, which closes the entertainment,
is the real thing."-Seattle Daily
Times.

UN|FORM BALL.
GIVEN BY LARAMIE VOLUNTEER
FIRE DEPARTMENT LAST
EVENING.
Affair at Maennerchor Hall Last Even
ing a Grand Success-Large Crowd
Present-Four Companies in Uni
form Made Pretty Scene-Wir Net
a Neat Sum.

The uniform ball given at Maenner-
Choir hall last evening by the Laramie
Volunteer Fire department was a
great success and all present had a
very enjoyable time. A short program
consisting Of songs, Rotations and
dialect dialogues, and clog dancing en-
tertained the guests for an hour from
half past 8 until after 9 o'clock. Songs
were sung by Mrs. C. L. Klein and a
duet by George Hazard and Latimer
Gray, which were heartily appreciated
and applauded till the singers respond
ed to an Moore. Tom Morris gave a
very entertaining recitation and Frank
Gray displayed his talent in a clog
dance and was called back.
The grand march began at $50 and
over 100 couples were in line. The
march was led by w. W. Bower, chief
OF the fire department, and Miss Emma
Bath, followed by the other officers of
the department. after which came the
companies in the following order:
Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, Elk
celsior Hose Company No. 2, Gramm
Hose Company No. g., Railroad Hose
Company No. 4, all in full uniform and
making a splendid appearance as they
marched around the hall. Many spec
tators were present and enjoyed the
sights. After the grand march, dane
ing began and was continued until
nearly 4 O'Clock this morning, an
hours intermission being taken for
supper.
The proceeds Of the dance will net
the fire department a fair sum for the
treasury, which is nearly without
funds and will put the department in
better condition to provide for future
wants.

for the occasion and reflected great
credit On the committee in charge,

HOSPITAL REPORT.
Santa Fe Surgeon, DR.. J. p. Raster,
Gives Valuable Su mmdry
OF Work For TWO Years.

The report of the Santa Fe Hospital
association for the years ending June
30, 1897, and June 80, 1898. has been
completed by DR.. J. P. Raster, chief
surgeon of the road. 1t will be ready
for distribution in a few daye.
The report shows that during the
wear ending June 80, 1897, 81 ,236 cases
of sickness and 1921 cases of injury, q
total of 24.157 cases were treated,
which is an increase of 951 cases over
the number treated for the previous
year For the year ending June 30,
1898, %, 290 cases of sickness and 5000
cases Of injury, total of q, 100 cases
we're treated, which is an increase OF
=. O33 cases over the number treated for
the previous year.
The operating expenses of the hospi-
tai association amounted in 1897 to
$50 400 So: in 1898, 1856. The expendi-
turss exceed the receipts when repairs
and improvements are considered.
In reference to this DR.. Raster says:
''By q comparison of the number OF pa
tients treated from yesr to wear, we
fnd that the expense IS increasing.
This i accounted TO- by the rapidly in

Rise of President Cowen.

John K. Cowen, the new president OF
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. LETT
the legal profession and the United
States congress some years ago TO as
sumo the duties of managing Rlgan-
tic railroad, which was in financial dis
trees. That he succeeded in the task
set before him has twice been Demon
strated by the actions of the men hav-
ing the heaviest interest in the proper
ty. At one time they made him one OF
the receivers of the road, and just a
few days ago, after the plans OF reor-
panization had been fully matured,
they reelected him to the presidency.
Mr.. Cowen was in congress from the
fourth Maryland district. He had
been connected with the Baltimore &
Ohio in a legal capacity for many
years. Charles F. Mayer resigned the
presidency, and the New York and
Garrett interests decided that Mr..
Cowen should be his successor. He en-
| tered upon the duties of the office at a
time when any man might have shrunk
from them, for the road was fast go1ne
into the hands of The United States
court.-Kansas City journal.

A Money Maker From the Start.

A St. Petersburg correspondent OF
the Lon don Times shows that the great
Siberian railway, which will in four
years time connect ST. Petersburg
with Port Arthur, will pay from the
very first. 1t is producing trade wher-
ever it goes. The supply OF corn has
already increased to surplus OF $4,000
tons in the steppe just opened up,
where orly five wears ago 1t was neces-
sary to import 90, 600 tons year. The
yearly transport of coal is already es-
timated st 26O 900 tons, and it is Off
cially estimated ''that the commercial
traffic of the Siberian railway within
the next five years will reach l, 532, 255
tons a year, and this estimate is made
irrespective of any consideration OF the
probable through traffic when the line
is completed to the Pacific" while the
tim e expended in travelling from Lon
don to Shanghai by this railway will
be fourteen days. instead of thirty five
days by sea.-Exchsnge.

MARVELLOUS MOUNTAIN ROAD.
Trains Climb an Elevation OF Nearly
Four Thousand Feet.

The new AlamogOrdO and Sacramen-
to Mountain railway, says the denver
Republican. which has just been com
pleted from the new town OF Alamo
gordo, N. M, to the timber on the Sa
cramento mountains, q distance OF
TWEEN y-one miles, is probably one OF
the most remarkable railroads that
has ever been constructed. From Ala
moeordo, which is situated where Inc
vast plaiu of the Tularosa valley meets
the foot of the Sacramento mountains,
It's course is nearly a tangent TO the
mouth OF La Luz canyon, but from tnls
point 10 the terminus over 81 per cent
of its mileage is curvature and the dill
ference in elevation 300 feet, Alamo
pordo being 1900 and the terminus oOoo
feet abOve sea level.
Half way up the mountain the coun-
try takes such sudden drop OH that IL
is impossible to follow the course OF
the stream or canyon, and the elevation
is a.tsired by zigzag courses over q
rough, rocky country where tnlrty-oe-
gree curves are the rule and the Tang
emit rare exception. An engineer
who has been accustomed TO the cur
yanture in mountain clint lng can ap-
preciate what this piece of road, four
teen and a half miles in length. with 62
per cent curvature, where thlrty-oe-
gree curves and So per cent grades
are allowable, really means. The dl1-
ference between it and ordinary noun
tain climb bling will be understood oy
the pon-professional when tits explain
e., that the windings usually seen on
mountain climbs are more than Twice
IS close. For instance. al one point on
the road three tracks parallel each
other within distance not exceeding
1000 feer. Railroad men viii! be
Interested to learn of the practicability
Of such a road.
Some difficulty is experienced in try
inc 70 find suitable LOGON olives. Three
have already been tried, one OF which
is u total failure, another a mon
proven case" but the third has done
Ali the construct on and never been OF
the ra:ls. Accordingly, it has already
been demonstrated that an engine can
be u ade that will operate such ROAD.
Ordinary passenger coaches and box
cars. if well up Oh their bearings, pass
over lie road Without hcuity-
Two features are essential In the
construction of a road of this kind
namely, rail bender and tie plates.
TIE road is designed for hauling logs
from the timber belt on top OIL the
mountain to the large sawmiu erected
at AIamoeordo. It must not, however.
be consid cred in the light of lumber
tramroad, but is frst-class in every
respect; sixty pound still Is USED the
roadbed is perfect and the curves as
true as If turned out of q lathe. In fact.
it has a fine track as any railroad in the
country.
While designed almost entirely for
lumber or freight business, the superb
scenery, magnificent climate and the
grand and beautiful mountains, with q
temperature equally as cool as Palmer
lake or the Hayden divide, is going to
make of this mountain country and
Alamogordo resort and home Tor
pleasure and health seekers that will
eventually afford d resource to the
road far greater than that of it's timber

The Largest Passenger Locomotive

The Burline ton has put into service
a new Pullman train to run on the fast
express, one night on the road, be-
tween Chicago and Denver. The
handsome library, smoking car and
the cafe dining car are unusually at
tractive features. The entire train,
connected by vestibules, is of the fam
iliar Pullman color, and is hauled by
the largest passenger locomotive ever
built. This engine weighs 12l tons,
has driving wheels 7 feet in diameter
and water capacity of 5000 gollons.
It weights one ton more than the big
engine recently built for the Boston

Fish and Game League.

John w. Titcomb of st. Johnsbnry, presi-
dent OF the Vermont Fish and Game League
has sent out circulars outlining the pro-
posed trip of the Vermont Fish and Game
League to Quebec for its annual mid-sum-
mer meeting, leaving over two routes on
the evening OF August 30. Members OF he
League and their friends on the vest side of
the State are to congregate at st. Adams in
season to take the train leaving there at
B. 30 P. M, special cars to be provided for
the party and special Pullmaus to be pro-
vided from Montreal to Lewis, p. q. The
train arrives at Quebec at T. 80 the follow
ing morning. The visitors will stop at
Chateau Frontenac at reduced rates.
A special meeting would be held the day
Of arrival for tue purpose OF electing new
members and to meet the commissioner OF
Crown Lands and others high in authority
to discuss the matter Of uniform laws. In
the evening a genuine fish and game BAN
quet would be given with officers of local
hunting and fishing clubs of Quebec and
various honorary guests from the city in ae-
tendance. The banquet to be followed by
postprandial exercises OF very high order.
The second day could be devoted entirely
to sightseeing, excursions by boat, etc.
The local fishing and hunting clubs OF
Quebec which control large tracts of land
within 30 to 200 miles of Quebec wish to
invite and entertain as many members as
can remain for more than three days con-
templated by the excursion, and it is prob
able that special dispensation regarding
inspection OF rods, guns, and other para
phernalia will be obtained from the GUS
toms authorities, to avoid the necessity OF
inspection and license to carry them to be
granted. This excursion will not be made
unless at least one hundred members and
their friends guarantee to purchase tickets.
