NO ROOM FOR COMPLAINT
TRAINMEN, ALL THINGS CONSID-
Erred, NEVER BETTER PAID.
A New Method of Instructing and Ex-
aiming Trninmen-GeneraI and
Personal Railway News.

CT have never known said a local rail-
road official who has been in service many
years. "trainmen, all things considered. as
we'll paid as at present. The shortening of
train schedules in the last five years has
been very remarkable, more with freight
than In the passenger service" He COM
pared the time schedules of freight trains
at present with those of but five years ago,
and said that trains which at that time
were twelve hours on the road now covered
the same distance In eight or nine hours,
and the pay rolls will show that the aver
age pay of the engineers on what are known
as the preferred freight trains or fast serv-
ice, averages 80 cents an hour while on
the road and on some roads freight engi-
neers have their pay based 20 cents an
hour when on duty. preferring that to being
paid overtime after being out on the road
a certain number of hours: the firemen and
conductors are equally benefited by the
present schedules. Tracks and equipment
are now at such a high standard that
freight men can about as confidently expect
TO reach a terminal scheduled time as
can the man in passenger service. Modern
devices have greatly relieved both engineers
and fremen of the most arduous service,
the air brake, the automatic coupler, better
methods of oiling engines and numerous
other minor improvements having done
much to make the life of a trainman less
hazardous and burdensome, and with each
year improvements are made to rolling
stock by which the work Of the trainman
is lessened. THE engineers the fremen,
the conductors and brakemen.'' said the
speaker. "are getting much better pay for
hour than a few years ago. and at the
same time make larger daily mileage
average. owing to the faster schedules of
frafns''

New Plan for Instructing Employees.
A new idea has been put into operation
at Lexington. KY, by the Cincinnati South
ern Railway for instructing and examining
trainmen on the meaning OF train rules as
applied to the various pieces of apparatus
which form so important a part in the sue
cessful operation of the modern railroad 1t

Mr. Murphy has equipped the examining
rooms at Lexington with an electric stere-
opticon and a large number OF lantern slides
showing the signals, track and apparatus
OF all kinds used on the road By project
ing these views on a large canvas the train
men are enabled to see the road equipment
as 1t would appear to them in the daily
routine OF work. IL has worked so success
fully in examining the men on the Cincin-
natl Southern that IL is likely to be adopted
by every railway in the country w, J.

STEPS TO SEE HIS DAUGHTER.
On Saturday james B. Burke-Ro.h re
was granted writ OF habeas corpus by
Justice Bloch. Of the New York Supreme
Court. compelling his wife to produce
their daughter, Cynthia. in court on
Thursday night He claims that the de-
cree OF divorce granted in Delaware

vorce was granted by the Superior Court
Of New Castle county In 1891.

statement in his petition to the court
that by the terms Of the separation en-
tered into in 1856 by himself and his wife
she had agreed 10 allow him TO see his
children was absolutely false. Mr. Work
declared that his daughter had obta ned
an absolute divorce from her husband In
1891 In the State Of Delaware by which
she was given entire custody Of the chill
dren, and that no provision was made
for Mr.. Burke-Roche to see his children.
Mr.. Work said: Il very foolishly per-
mitted him to see the children last year
and he spent his time filling their heads
with nonsense. don't propose that ne
shall see them again. I am my daugh-
ter's advisor in this matter, and all
will have to do Will be to send her decree
OF divorce to the court and the judg'
will see tllat he has been fooled.
