NINETY MILES AN HOUR.
The Burlington Takes a Hand at
Record breaking.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE new fast mail
train on the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad, which pulled out of
Omaha at 3:45 o'clock yesterday after
noon, rolled into the Union depot at
Chicago at PA this morning, 10 hours
and 20 minutes from Omaha, a distance
of 002 miles. The train was in charge of
Conductor Frank Columbine, and En-
gineer Frank Billiard, who holds the
record for the fast run on the road
was at the throttle of engine $50, called
the greyhound of the Burlington" The
cars were mail cars No. 914 and 915 and
storage car No. 931. The new train is
designed to be one of the links in the
Oriental mail service, which is to cut
down the time of crossing the continent
thirteen hours. The mail was rushed
eastward at once.
The new fast schedule of the trans
continental mail really began at Green
River Wyo., when the mail was de-
tached from the regular overland linn
tied and sent ahead. A gain of one
hour and a half was made between
Green River and Council Bluffs.
The squirt made was the fastest rail-
reading ever done in the west. The
train was in charge of Engineer
Mathis, and he insisted the time could
be cut down materially. One of the
brakemen of the new train declared the
cars swayed and jumped over the rails
under the powerful pull of the engine
much as small boys snap the whip. At
times he feared they would leave the
track and go into the ditch.
If the Burlington succeeds in keeping
down the schedule it viii be q. great
factor in its favor in the strong COM
petition with the Rock Island and
railroads for the great
mail contract. This competition begins
on Jan. s. The amount involved in the
total contract from ocean to ocean is
$3.50, 00O
The schedule instituted last night
beats the former fast mail by 1 hour
and 10 minutes. The fastest time was
made just west of Aurora, where ninety
miles an hour was attained. The aver
age speed for the whole distance, in
Guiding stops. is 1857 miles an hour. 1t
is unquestionably the fastest regular
train ever put on the time card west
of Chicago. The average time is said
to be even better than that of the fast
mails on the eastern roads.

band.
Mrs. Atkins arrived in the city several
days ago and registered at the White
House. Yesterday she called on Chief
Pratt and stated her troubles Domestic
infelicity had resulted in a divorce be-
tween herself and husband. Mr. Atkins
is a mining man and has lived at Hum
bolt and Carson, New. The court gave
her the custody OF the child and this
document she showed to the chief, who
saw readily that she was entitled to her
boy, but explained MS inability to take
any hand in the affair. He advised her
TO consult the county attorney if she
could not obtain the child by peaceable
means. She said her former husband had
been allowed TO take the child for a brief
returning him to his mother, left him
in the keeping of Mrs FLYNN and went
to Bullionville, New.
Mrs. Atkins concluded to attempt the
recovery OF her darling and drove to the

for his possession, but related the cir

ANOTHER BIG COAL STRIKE.
Mark Hanna's Agent Announces Fur
Their Wage Reductions.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. "A general strike
in the bituminOus coal region is looked
for on April 1 at the close of the term of
the agreement between miners and oper-
ators. The strike can only be averted
by the miners and operators of the COM
petitive field reaching an amicable agree
ment at the convention to be held in this
city next week.
A reported interview with Operator
Thomas E. E. Young, manager of the
Hanna Coal company interests, follows:
1T is the intention of the operators to
reduce the mining scale of wages. The
operators cannot afford to maintain the
present rate. The miners want a higher
rate and the operators claim reduction
must be made. You can readily see the
miners and operators are far apart.
There seems to he little chance of getting
together. The operators do not see how
they can maintain the present scale. Coal
is now being sold below cost. The miners
in this district, comprising the four states
mentioned, are well paid if they could
work full time. They have done pretty
well during the past year. In fact they
have made more money than the
OPERATORS.

Train Schedule Change.

Tomorrow morning the new time card
on the Oregon Short Line goes into
effect. The most radical change, as
already noted, is in the departure of
the Butte and Portland express, which
will leave at 9:45 in the morning, in
stead of S:45 in the evening as at pres
ent. The change will be one of great
Importance to the travelling public, as
it gives a daylight run through the
southeastern part of Idaho.
The change on the Western will be
inaugurated today, when No. will

WHICH WAS RIGHT.
The Herald Tribune Record of Build
ing Permits


In going over the whole of The Her
AIDS big New Years edition the Tribune
tried to find at least one inaccuracy,
and pointed out that .he building rec
ord for the year, as compared with its
own general write-up on the same sub
iect, did not correspond. The Herald.
however, confined itself to the official
record of permits issued, so stating in
the article. taking the valuations as
they were stated, and its figures were
correct.
But there We're some features in the
Tribunes report of which The He, aid
admits having failed to make specific
mention. For instance, whenever any
citizen took out permit TO spend $40
on reshingling a roof, the Tribune gave
the item as much prominence as though
the expenditure had been 800. 00O
Again, one Hung Chung, presumably a
Chinaman, was credited with having
caught the building fever when he
spent SIS for a one-StCry, one-room
residence. All these minor items. any,
thing under $500, The Herald placed in
a correct aggregate, accounting for the
number thereof.
BY a system of additions the Tribune
ically 10 per cent for inside remodel
ling and REPAIRS until it overshot the
mark by at least half million dollarsS.
Such items as repairing street car
tracks, reSetting electric light and
telephone poles and stringing wire.
sweeping street pavements and cross
walks, cleaning out irrigation bitches,
repairing the streets with poll tax labor.
the city water supply acd
other public expenditures of main
tenance nature, the Tribune classed as
building permits and improvements
worth over 100000.
Nor was this all. The record of the
previous year was consulted and build
ngs known to have been erected in
1897 were carried to the credit of 1898.
But with the exceptions noted The
aerald's list contained as many, and
he identical items. as were in the
Tribune. The Herald's account of
improvements was truthful
md conservative. but the Tribune's
vas clumsily padded and woefully dis
orted and inaccurate on the face of
Kings, even to the extent of being ri
iiculous.
