FOR A TIME RECORD.
Railroad Men Are Interested In the
Chicago-Omaha Struggle.

Local railroad men are much inter-
Island, the Northwestern and the Bur-
lington for time records between Chi
eago and Omaha. The fast mail serv-
ice of the Burlington started the race;
the Rock Island followed with fast
passenger service, the Northwestern
followed suit and now the Burlington
is said to be about to put on a pas
senger service that will be quite as
fast as it's mail trains.
The distance between Chicago and
Omaha is 500 miles, and between Chi
cago and St. Paul only 400 miles, in
round numbers, yet the Northwestern
makes the run from Chicago to Omaha
in one hour less than it takes the run
to this city. The Burlington will do
the same, probably.
There is understood to be an agree
ment between the st. Paul-Chicago
lines to run at the speed they at pres
ent maintain, and that no road shall
run more rapidly than another. Of
ficials of the roads however deny that
such an agreement exists and say that
the reason the trains are run at their
present speed Is for the convenience
of the public.
I'VE believe" said General Traffic
Manager Clark, of the Omaha, to a
reporter for The Clio b e, yesterday.
that our schedule is the most con-
venient for travellers that could be ar
ranged. If our trains left Chicago an
hour later than they do, they would
keep passengers at that end Of the
line waiting an extra hour in the de-
pot, yet it would not give them time
to go anywhere or see anything in the
city. 1t would simply delay them IN
nnceSSa ri1v and deDriVa them of an
hours sleep. And, if the trains ar
rived here an hour or two earlier, that
would oblige the passenger to rise at
o'clock and would turn him upon the
streets at Z, an uncomfortable hour
here at any season. Under the pres
ent schedule, passengers may rise at
s or 7 o'clock. have a comfortable
breakfast and get in this city at an
hour when they may begin the days
business without delay. There would
be no object in giving faster passenger
service between Chicago and ST. Paul.

MADRID. Jan. 27.-The developments
in the court-martial of Gen. Jaudenes,
who surrendered the Spanish forces at

NEW RAIL FOR CURVES.
One Expected to Stand More Wear
Than Those in Use

Chief Engineer W. T. Manning of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad has invented
new rail that experts say has many points
Of interest to railroad owners, the princf-
pal one being its economical feature. It Is
well known that rails wear rapidly on curves
and where these are short and traffic heavy
the cost Of renewal is very large. Mr.. Man
ming has evolved a section which, he as
serts, will reduce the cost 81 per cent per
ton per year. He adds materially to the life
OF the rail by Pacing additional metal in the
head and on the side upon which the wear
comes.
The new rail- will be given thorough test
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad the re-
ceivers having ordered LEGO tons from the
Carnegie Steel company. The Pfttsburg &
Western have also ordered 500 tons

SPRINGFIELD. O.. Jan. y. = Con
Riley. of Middletown, south of here,
who developed Kid Mccoy and has
seconded him in all his big contests,
threw more light on the internal
trouble in the Mccoy camp at Asbury
Park. Riley says Mccoy was improp-
erly trained for his fight with Sharkey.
He said, using some strong and I'M
punishable terms to express himself:
That big Benton, or Rob Roy, as he
calls himself, came in the training
quarters and 'conned' the Kid along
10 the queens taste. He posed as a
great athlete and made Mccoy believe
he could build him up and put several
pounds of good substantial flesh on
him. Mccoy listened to him and finally
made him superintendent of his train
ing quarters, including the kitchen,
sidabOard and cupboard. He at once
ordered ale and porter and instructed
the Kid to drink lots of it. Mccoy,
like q chump followed this fellows or
ders. and as a result his wind became
affected.
DIR. Payne and both noticed it sew
eral times While training was going on.
When we had him out at Woodlawn
beach. near Buffalo, he used to tire us
out three of US in succession, but while
training for Sharkey he became wind
ed several times before getting through
with one man. He never drank any ale
or porter until this last time and his
wind on ell other occasions was per-
feet. Mccoy told me before we parted
he would hereafter leave ale and porter
alone and train in the old way"
