the agreement and though the com
pany promise the bureau to severely
repremand the agent who had made
the mis- axe or even discharge him
from the service, the company would
still have to pay the required amount
of the penalty. That is the only res-
son that can see for placing the pen
atty for violation of the agreement
at such small amount
When asked if, in his estim alton, a
greater penalty would not serve to
make the agents transact their bust
ness with more care, he admitted that
it would. Several others expressed the
same opinion. If the agreement has
been formed not to be broken and is
not broken, no matter how great the
penalty, none of the roads would be
called upon to pay a cent.

Railway Strikes Decreasing.

Chief Of the Brotherhood of L. CO.
motive Engineers P. ri. Arthur, who
appeared before the industrial CON-
mission at Was bington recently, mad e
the cheering announcement that strike 3
are on the deer ease. His order, he
says, has written agreements with 80
per cent of the railroads Of the coup-
try as to conditions of work, which
ought to prevent all but a few
sporadic strikes in the future. The
strike fund has not been touched for
several years and now amounts
to over 800 600. During
the last year S42, 900 has been dSstribu-
ted for the benefit of widows and Or
phsns. On the insurance account So,
1000 has been paid. The pay of en-
gineers has not changed much for the
last fifteen years but the increase in
the purchasing power of the dollar has
made it practically larger. OF the

country, 80 per cent belong to the or

speed of ninety miles an hour with

The southern roads suffered worse
from the effects of the severe winter
than did some of the roads which run
through the friRid regions. During

The G. b. track which was blocked
by the wreck at Marathon yesterday
morning, was not cleared until last
night at II 80. The wreck occurred at
the foot of a steep incline and it is said
to be the result of the careless hand

tested his air at the top of the hill he
would have found that it was not in
working order and both engines could
have easily stopped the train before
the crash came. Outside of few
scratches received bG Fireman Stevens
there was no one injured.

BITTER MEDICINE.
Santa Fe Employees Riding On Pas
ses Must Ride Standing Up
When the Occasion Requires

An order has been issued by the
Santa Fe which has excited great
deal more criticism then compliments.
All roads have heretofore recognized a
pass as y first class ticket and the best
Accommodations we're extended the
holders thereof. The Santa Fe, how
ever, has taken the initial step toward
putting the holders of passes on
.shog train" es it were, and it Is very
difficult to guess just where the mat
ter will wind uD. The following is the
order issued by that company:
cit frequently happens that first
class chair cars and coaches in our
through trains are crowded and that
employees riding on passes occupy q
part of such accommodations. Here
after when such conditions exist en-
ed to give up their seats to ladies and
other passengers holding tickets. Con-
ductors must see that this rule Is
structly enforced.''
With such an order in force it is
hard to tell where they would put
holders OF passes if standing room was
-ercrowded. They would evidently
be forced to the platform and from
there to the roofs of the cars. 1t seems
to be the general belief that if the
railroad company think it advisable to
issue passes they should give the hold
ers thereof the same advantages ex-
tend ed those with regular tickets. I'm
der the restrictions of this order issued
by the Santa Fe it makes it question
with the emp Dyes whether to travel in
broadcloth or overalls- If the seating
room is all taken he must stand up ID
II the standing room Is crowded he
must stand on the platform and if the
platform is crowded be will either have
to get off and walk or ride the break
beam Such conditions are very un-
pleasant and it is sincerely hoped that
no other road will follow the example
set by the Santa Fe.

Important Decision.

In the case of Troxier against the
Southern railway. decided last month,
the supreme court of North Carolina
held that the failure of railroad to
use automatic couplers in general use
on its freight cars,i is negligence per Sc,
tha at the extension by congress of the
time within which all interstate rail
roads are required to use automatic
couplers or suffer penalty does not af-
feet company's common-law liability
to it's employees for negligence in fail
ing to use equipments for coupling
which have come into general use.
This decision is of great Importance to
railroad companies and their en-
ployees. Ayers.

DOUBLE KILLING
At Terlingua, One Hundred Miles
From AIDine.

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
Alpine, Texas, May 4.-News reach
ed here yesterday of a killing at Ter
lingua, this county, one hundred miles
south.
AL Reed, a store keeper at Terlingua
and owner of valuable quicksilver
property, had sold wagon to Bill
Taylor on credit. Taylor declined to
settle and Reed went out to his ranch
to bring the vehicle home. Taylor
was not there when the merchant ar
rived, but a Mexican named Barney
Vey was on the place and objected to
Reed taking the wagon away.
A fight ensued. Reed was instantly
killed and the Mexican mortally
wounded, dying few hours later.
1t is believed here that a third party
had hand in the fight and aided in
killing Reed.

MILEAGE Books UnConStitutiOn

It has been decided by the supreme
court of the United States, says the
Public of Chicago, that the Michigan
statute fixing the rate of railroad
mileage books at 800 for thousand mile
tickets, when the legal rate of railroad
fare is 3 cents mile. is unconstitution-
a.. Justice Peckham wrote the opin-
ion. He argued that the legislature
had no right to make this discrimina-
ton between those who purchase tick
cts by the thousand miles and those
who purchase them by the mile. We
believe that in so deciding the court
was right. Laws allowing railroad
rates to be higher for small purchasers
than for large ones are essentially IN
just. The principle of wholesale
prices, namely, that it costs proper
tionately less to serve large custom
er than q small one, does not enter in.

while in motion. The eye and ear,
as rule, estimate the speed of a train,
by the rapidity of the putting exhsusts
of the locomotive. and rs this machine
"exhausts" only half as often as an
old-siyle locomotive, the fi-st impress
speedily utter all. The ordinary en-
CINE 60. xhau-t," four times to each re-
volution of the drivers, but this. owing
to the compound cylinder, conc tions,
.'exhaus,s" only twice.
Not the least interesting fsct In
connection with this monster OF the
rails is that its engineer is a physician
in active practice as we'll rs an expert
in mechanics. The door of his re-
sidence on pretty hillside in Brigh ton
bears the name in gilt letters of 'Dr.
81. F. Brackett," and IL is here, with
his wife, that the man of science and
of machinery lives. When the ''driver"
has washed away the CRIME accumu-
lated in his mile-a-minute run with the
New York special he becomes at
once the physician and goes forth
among his patients.
The big machine he drives he feels
to be the superior as an express loco
motive of anything that holds the rails
England, however, is making expert
ments with a steam novelty for speed
and power whose possibilities are as
little known as are those of the Boston
and Albany speed monster The most
novel feature in the coming British
champion is the absence of such pow
erful steel connecting rods as bind to-
gether the driving wheels of the Amer
lean locomotives. The piston and cyl
inder are located at a point mid way OF
the drivers, and other innovations al
most equally as startling are made In
other parts of the machinery, with
a view to greater concentration of dir
ect, power than present types have
permitted. The British machine Is
not so heavy as the new American,
however, nor is it's hill-climbing abili-
ty with a heavy train expected to be so
great The English roads have few
such difficult grades as distinguish the
railroads in this country in the east or
in the west; but on level straightway
it is question that only practical trial
will settle as to whether the Yankees
or the Britous will have to try again
to secure and hold the distinction OF
supremacy in speed and inventive gen
iuS.

HUNTINGTON Behind 1t.

A special dispatch to the Globe-Dem-
ocrat from Houston says: The Calves
ton, Laporte and Houston railroad was
today formally turned over to the new
purchasers, the Galveston, Houston
and Northern. It is the general belief
backed by circumstances and conditions
that c. P Huntington is the power be-
hind it, and the new road will be used
to connect the Southern Pacific and
the Houston and Texas Central with
the wharves just secured by Mr.. Hunt
ington in Galveston. Mallory, Morgan
and Lone Star lines will now compete
for New York business via Galveston.

ANOTHER EFFORT.
A Committee Working With A View
To Closing The City Railroad
Ticket Offices At 5p. m.

The railroad city ticket offices have
not, as yet, shortened their hours of
labor. When asked the reason for
not closing on the LIST May one of those
interested said: THE only reason l
can give is that no one has taken the
necessary interest in the matter. 1t Is
our intention, however, to start out
this afternoon and see if we cannot get
all of the.offices to sign an agreement to
lock up at o'clock in the evening We
will not attempt to close at that hour
until the first of next month so as to
give due notice of our intention to
the public. 1t il useless to keep open
after o'clock as no business is done
