EMPLOYEES GROCERY STORES
plans to Establish Them at All d.
vision Points.

Leaders of the different railway or
CARNATIONS are now considering plans
for the establishment of employees
grocery stores at the division points OF
the various lines throughout the coun-
Try. It is proposed to have the stores
conducted on the cooperative plan, the
stock to be subscribed for by the en-
ployes of all branches. The object OF
the store is not only to Creduce prices,
but to protect men against garnishee
proceedings, which are often instituted
to collect small amounts and many
times cost old, faithful employees their
positions, a. on many roads q garnish-
ment suit is cause for dismissal. The
stores are not,intended to be money
makers, but If profit accrues from their
operation it will be divided among the
stockholders. The new plan is to be
tried first at Chillicotbe, O., the divi-
sionsl headquarters of the Baltimore
andsOhio South western road. Prac-
tical grocerymen will be placed in
charge and their accounts will be sub
jected to inspection by committee of
the stockholders. If the grocery store
is;a success other departments, such as
clothing, boots and shoes, hardware
and furniture may be added.-Chicago

INGERSOLL'S MINE.
The Possibilities 1t Seemed To Offer

The Possibilities 1t Seemed To Offer.
Robert G. Ingersoll had many ad-
mirers among the western miners and
him, says Socorro, N. NJ, correspon-
dent. Among these is the Ingersoll
group, north of Kingston. In the
early sos, or possibly q little before
this time, when the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad was building,
Ingersoll put his money in a group
known as the Ivanhoe. Ingersoll then
had close friend by the name of
Gillette, who at that period was one of
the most noted of mining promoters.
Gillette persuaded Ingersoll to invest
and he took him into the promising
section on a burrO, as. this was the
most direct and easiest means of loco
motion at the time. Gillette thought
it would be better for Ingersoll to go
out and see the mining property in
which he was interested. so as to give
q more favorable account of it to
friends who had also entered the pro-
ject with him. 1t was known that such
an opinion would create boom in the
stock.
When the party got off the train, In
gersOll was invited to rice on Jesus,
the biggest and sulkiest looking ami
NAL of the whole pack Of burrcs. This
name is quite as common among the
Mexicans as Buck or Berry among the
Yankees for their oxen. You cannot
always count on a burro doing just
what you want him to do. If he gets
tired on long route he may lie down,
or he may skirt q ragged cliff till you
are scared out of your senses and glad
to get off; then again, his broncho
blood may be brought finto play by
pitching you off quite suddenly, to es-
cape.your tiresome presence. Ingersoll
was thrown and then came Gillette's
turn by telling him:

SANTA FE IMPROVEMENTS
Entire New Passenger Equipment
to be Ordered at Once.

Journal.
This new equipment will probably
be ready for service ca ly next year.
1t will be placed on the Santa Fe
through trairs g, and will make these
trains as handsomely appointed IS
those of any other railroad in the coun-
try.
All of the new cars will be built with
wide vesti bules, and the chair cars
will have separate smoking rooms
similar to those of the Pullmans'. The
upholstering and finishing will. be of
superior e ade.
The vesti bules on the coaches as we'll
ss on the chair cars, will make all
through trains on the Santa Fe solid

modern passenger equipment, m any OF
the coaches and chair cars are old and
consid erably worn. The new equip
ment will be placed on the through
trains and the cars now used will be
sent to the branch lines to take the
place of more antiquated equipment.
Aside from the improvement of the
through trains, the Santa Fe needs adj
dit'onal cars to handle it's passenger
business. The business of the past
summer has kept the operating depart
ment decidedly busy supplying the ne
cessery equipment.

train climbs the mountains, seventy
seven miles an hour was maintained on

The Explanation.

The item in the HERALD the other
day, stating that certain railroads had
sold old iron rails for 81 per ton, more
than the price of new steel, is thus ex-
planned by the Globe-Democrat:
It is q remarkable fact that two rail-
roads have just sold lot of old rails
for higher price than they had to
pay for new ones just delivered to
them. In othes words, the steel COM
psnies gave new rails and 81 in cash
per ton for every ton of old rails. The
explanation is that several months
ago, before the advance In iron and
steel, the Wabash and Santa Fe rail-
roads contracted for new steel rails.
Before the time for delivery of the
rails the price of steel advanced 80 that
the manufacturers were glad to by old
from the railroad companies at q rate
Of 81 more per ton than several months
ago they contracted to furnish new
rails for.

There Is no business reason why the
president of the New York Central
railroad, for example, should not pay
fare when he travels over the Pennsyl-
vania or Burlington road. 1t Is cour-
tesy, but not business. The idea is
constantly growing that the railroads
should be run on strictly business
policy, and that transportation is the
sole stock in trade of q railroad COM
papy and should be exchanged only for

VALUABLE INVENTION
Kentucky Man Has a Device For
Making Railroad Rails Solid.

G.. L. Baxter, of Licking
ton, KY, has just come forward
with what railway men regard as one
of the most important Inventions of the
year. He has invented joint for hold
ing together the ends of railroad rails,
q device which, it is said, means less
danger, greater speed and more COM
fort in modern railway travel. The
joint. wh CHI is said to combine the good
qualities of the fshplate, the angle
bar and the truss, consists of but three
parts, and it is attached to the rails by
rivets instead of bolts. In the inven-
tiop, railway men say, Mr.. Baxter has
re allied what several inven tiors have
spent the greater part of their lives
trying to bring about.
Briefly described, the device con-
sists of two angle bars, with depending
extensions which reach below the rail.
In these extensions there is q slot in
which is a fiat piece on which the rail
ends rest. the angle-bar section being
attached to the rails with rivets insert
ed while hot. With the exception OF
the rivets, the device is made of steel.
Mr.. Baxter devoted much time to the
study of rosdways of various lines be-
fore he succeeded in perfecting the de-
vice. He studied the effect of loaded
trains on them, aud he found that the
rails had two motions, besides the lat
eral motions, as they go down and up.
causing the ordinary joint made with
the fish-plate or the angle bar to move
much as gate-hinge works. He rea-
soned that device which attempted
simply to hold up the rails at the ends
would fall short of its whole mission,
for he saw that the ends must be held
togethe err 30 that under all circumstan-
ces they would occupy the same rela-
tive position to each other. He dis
covered that no matter how we'll the
road way was kept up the heavy trains
caused them to go down and up, and he
concluded. therefore, that any device
for holding the ends of the rails to-
getber which depended for any de-
gree of its efficiency on the ties or on
any extraneous part of the track, could
not be success. He made a test of
his device on the Cincinnati Southern,
q low, wet place being selected. It
showed such merit that the officials of
the road declared that it could not be
improved upon.
