TELLER FAINTS
While Attending a Funeral at Long
mont, Colo.

Denver. Col, April 27.-United States
Senator Henry NJ. Teller had an alarm
ing fainting attack at Longmont yes
terday afternoon. He had attended and
spoken at the funeral of ex-Attorney
General Byron L. Carr. After the fun
eral he tainted at the church. He was
taken to the Carr residence and it was
about Is minutes before he regained
consciousness. The senator came back
to Denver on the train last evening and
is feeling fairly well. DR.. George z.
Tyler, son-in-law of the senator, and
also his physician said:
Il do not regard the attack as very
serious. Senator Teller visited his ranch
near Boulder Tuesday and did some
physical labor which he is not accus-
toned to. He slept very poorly that
night aGd ate a very light breakfast in
the morning. He then rode to Long
mont and walked in the hot sun and
spoke at the funeral services without
his ordinary lunch. He has not been
strong since his recent sickness in Den
yer some weeks ago. All these causes
combined were, 1 think, responsible for
the fainting attack. His condition
seems very favorable

GOES AGAINST PINGREE.
His Equal Taxation Law Meets With
Reverse.

Lansing, Mich, April 27.-In a de-
cision handed down today, the state su-
preme court, declared invalid the main
principle of the Pingree-Atkinson equal
taxation bill, which was passed by the
present session of the legislature. The
case was one instituted by Governor
Pingree while the Atkinson bill was
hanging fire in the legislature to test
the validity of act passed some Is
years ago, providing for the taxing of
telephone and telegraph companies on
the value of their property, the tax
which was levied by the state board of
auditors to be used for a specific pur-
pose. The act was similar to the At
kinson bill in that both provided spec
ial assessors and also specific tax. In
its opinion the supreme court holds
''that a tax on property, based on an
assessment can not be maintained as
specific tax"
When the case was before the court
by Governor Pingree's invitation, the
attorneys of the principal railways and
others affected by the Atkinson bills
provisions argued against the validity
of the old act. 1t is probable that steps
will be taken now to have the Atkinson
act declared invalid.

A WELL LIGHTED ENGINE.
Rock Island Locomotive Shown With
Thirteen Incandescent Lamps.
IFrom the Railway Age.1


IFrom the Railway Age.1
An interesting possibility connected
with the use of the electric headlight
has been exemplif1ed in the case of a
few roads, the locomotives of which are
equipped with that useful appliance.
The Chicago Rock Island & Pacific now
has nine locomotives of the class
known as the HOO, some of which are in
service upon the Chicago end of the
line, hauling the Rocky Mountain linn
tied, and others of which are farther
west in similar service. The equipment
of these engines includes the Pyle Ma
tional electric headlight, and in one or
two instances the current is drawn up
on for keeping up system of mean
descent lamps at points upon the en-
CINE, where they will be of the greatest
assistance to the engine crew in exam
lining the working parts and the indi-
eating devices in the cab. The ac-
companying engraving is from photo
graph of one of the engines of this
class with the position and appearance
of the lamps indicated.
There are altogether 10 Of the incan-
descent lamps Four are in the cab,
distributed as follows: One upon the
back of the cab in the rear of the en-
gineer's position for use in examining
orders, etc; one each for the steam and
air gauges; and one for the water
gauge glass. The latter three are so ar
ranged and protected as not to inter
fere with the engineman's vision, but
throw a good light upon the parts nee
essary to be examined and whose in
dications it is desirable that he should
see at a glance.
The other nine lamps are distributed
three upon each side of the boiler and
three underneath the middle. OF the
last named three, one is placed under
the forward end, where its rays il1um-
mate the front truck and adjacent
parts; the next in order is secured to
the underside of the boiler, directly
back of the cylinder saddle; and the
third farther back, where its light as
we'll as that of the second serves for the
examination of the links, eccentrics, etc.
The three upon the side are placed re-

More rigid inspection of the military

THE MAN AT THE THROTTLE.
Locomotive Engineers Say That They
Are Crowded Out by Promotions
of Firemeu.

New York, April PA special meet
ing of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers to discuss the crowding out
of the engineers by the promotion of
firemen was held in Tammany HaQ
yesterday.
one thousand delegates were present.
The largest delegations came from the
New York Central, Hudson River, the
Delaware, Lackawanna and western,
the Lake Shore, the Pennsylvania, Erie,
Baltimore and Ohio, the Jersey Central,
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford, the Lehigh Valley, West Shore,
the Manhattan and Brooklyn elevated
railroads.
Among the invited speakers were
Railroad Commissioner Frank NJ. Ba-
ker, Lawyer John F. Highlands and
Commissioner of Arbitration Webster,
the last two named being retired engi-
neers. The meeting was supposed to
be a secret one.
Grand Chief Arthur said in substance
that if the engineers wanted to be sue
cessfu1 they Should be faithful to their
employers. 1.-THE Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers said Chief Arthur,
has been successful because its obli-
cations to its employers have always
been faithfully kept. This has been and
is one of the strongest points of the
Brotherhood.
s'If the engineers do not want to be
crowded out of their places they should
show that they are living up to the
qualifications. If they do this the fire
men cannot get their places"
1t was said that the promotion of the
firemen was keeping many engineers
out of employment. The firemen were
getting union wages and were admitted
to the brotherhood as soon as they
were promoted. Keep up the stand
ard was the keynote of Chief Arthur's
speech.
1t was decided to refer the matter to
a vote of all the local divisions and af-
terWard to the general convention OF
the brotherhood in Milwaukee in May,
1900.

BURT TOOK BACK SEAT.
President of Union Pacific Cut No Ice
With Cowboy.

Cheyenne, Wyo., April 27.-General
Manager Dickinson and President Burt
of the Union Pacific have not reached
the line of railroad from their overland
trip of nearly 500 miles across Nebraska
and Wyoming
A passenger, who came in the

party near iva, says the following in
cident occurred on the trip. The team
hauling the wagon in which Mr.. Burt
was making the journey was driven by
a cowboy without much respect for the
dignified position of a railway presi-
dent.
He was, in Mr.. Burt'S opinion, unnec-
essarily profuse in his use of oathS n
the work of driving, and was remon-
strated with several times. A climax
came when the driver, with burst of
profanity, cut one of the horses with his
whip. The animal kicked and came
within a few inches of striking Mr.. Burt
with his heels.
Then the president said such methods
would have to cease. The cowboy stood

RIO GRANDE FLOWS AGAIN.
Distress of Farmers and Stockmen

FL Paso, Tex, April 27.-Water to a
depth of several feet is now flowing in

farmers to the eastward who depend

months and smugglers were able to
