TO ESCAPE CREDITORS
Dressmaker Says Bills Are I'm
paid For 4 Years.

Paris, Jan: 20.-A- big sensation was
caused in society here by the levying
of an execution against the effects of
Count Boni de Castellane, accused Of
being delinquent on the Bourse in large
amounts, estimated at from 5000. 600
to 2O,000000 francs: Castelfane is said
to have. been. Specializing. heavily for
some time and spending money freely.
Marquis de Castellane. his father, en-
phatically denies that his sons goods
have been attached, and declares that
he never gambfed % Tthe Bourse. Other
men in a position to know are reticent
but such reliable papers as the Temps
Figaro and Matin assert that the ex-
ecution is an accomplished fact. They
attribute the furry in industrial stocks
to Castellane's failure to nquidate his
debts.
1t it said to be a registered, official
fact on the public records that Castel-
lanes furniture and personal effects in
the Palace Avenue Bots were seized by
French sheriffs. The sudden departure
OF Castellane and his wife, formerly
Miss Gould, to America is said to have
been made under an assumed name.
The boat company, where the orders
for passage We're placed is authority,
as well as intimate friends, for the
statement that the assumption of a
false name is supposed to have been
adopted in Paris to throw creditors
off the track.
Priminet dressmakers declare to-day
that the Countess Castellane has not
paid her dress bill in four years, and
that the expenses of the palace on the
Avenue Bots are unpaid The Castel-
lanes are said to have treated Ameri-
cans contemporary until recently,
when it is believed they wanted to be
regarded favorably by them.
The Matin says the count expects
the Gould brothers to make good his
debts, and asserts that immense sums
have been given to the Nationalist
cause.
The Matin blames the countess for
her husbands extravaganza, and says
she wanted a palace because the Van
derbilts had one. Castellane has tried
to be the Duke of Marlborough of
France.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Tonnage s'Craze' May Cause
Santa Fe Trouble.
Largely Responsible For Re-
auctions in Service.
ECONOMIC PRACTICE.
Cost Of Transportation is Ma
teriaIly Lessende.
"DOubleheaders" Being Used to
Pull Heavy Trains.


Within the past two weeks a large
number of engine and train men have
been let out of the service of the Santa
Fe at the various division points. The
usual midwinter falling off in traffic has
been responsible to some extent for the
reduction in forces, but the tonnage
scraze" has also been largely RESPONSE
BILE for the discharge of the men.
The tonnage craze consists in haul
ing tons upon tons of freight over the
road in one train. Freight trains were
formerly made up of 20 or 80 cars and
pulled by one engine, but many Santa
Fe trains under the new rule include
from 70 to 80 cars and are pulled by
"double-headers" and sometimes three
engines.
The new system reduces cost of trans
portation to the company by doing
away with the service of engine and
train men and curtailing motive power
to some extent.
Last week a freight train was sent
out of Emporia west with 81 cars. But
one engine was attached, and it took
a distance of As miles At Florence
three engines were attached, in order to
make reasonable running time.
Up to a short time ago few trains
were run on the Santa Fe proper with
.'doubleheaders,' attached. The double
header question has been agitating the
engine and train employees of the Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe for some time, and
effort is being made to have the prac-
tice stopped by legislative action. If
the tonnage craze" continues on the
Santa Fe proper the management may
reasonably expect complaint from the
men in the engine and train service.

SANTA FE IMPROVES.
New Water Tank and New Whistle at
Arkansas City Shops

Arkansas City, Jan. 20.-The Santa
Fe company is making improvements
at the shops in this city. Among them
is a new water tank or tower to take
the place of the old wooden one now in
use. The new one is to be made Of steel
and will be 43 feet high and "a feet in
diameter.
Another improvement which will soon
be in use. is the new whistle which was
received yesterday. This will Guido
anything in this part of the state and
will be the noisiest thing in the city.
The main part of the whistle is IA
inches in diameter by 90 inches in
length. The other cylinder is IA inches
long by 8 inches in diameter. The
length of the whistle cover ALL" as the
machinistS say, is so inches. 1t will
take from $50 to 200 pounds of steam
to blow the monster.
Probably the most interesting room
at the shops here is the air room as
it is called. In this room is all the ap-
paratus used in the working of air
brakes. The apparatus is set up and
used exactly as on a train. This is for
the information and instruction of
trainmen, engineers and firemen. There
the trainmen can see how the air
brakes operates and have a. practical
illustration of the workings of every
part On a bench at the side of the
room are all the separate parts, valves,
etc, of the brake. In frames fastened
to the walls are charts explaining in
detail the whole workings and all the
parts of this important part of the
train. In thisroom firemen study for
their promotion and they have to be
familiar with it all before they are fit
candidates for engineers.

DISABLING FREIGHT CARS.
Wichita Thieves Have Started a New
Industry.

Wichita, Jan. 2O.-A peculiar industry
of thieving has been discovered by the
local police and a wholesale shipment
to the city or county Jail is expected.
A gang of thieves has been stealing the
packing from the journal boxes of
freight cars in the railroad yards and
where the thief is not a man who needs
a fire himself he sells the stuff for fuel.
On account of the toughness of the ma
terial and the oil it contains a. bunch Of
it will burn for three or four hours. The
railroad men have secured the names OF
families who are supposed to have kept
themselves in fuel all winter by simp-
" going around with an old gunny sack
and taking this lubricating material
out of the axle boxes.
After the material is removed q car
will not run more than eight or ten
miles before the axle heats and if it
is not liked the boxing is cut till the
set of wheels are spoiled and then new
ones have to be put in When one axle
has to be repaired four new wheels have
to be put on the car for they are cast
in sets of four on the same axle. Last
month this packing was stolen from
100 of the Santa F'e cars here and about
IS of the FriScO's.

SEPARATE COACH QUESTION.
Governor Taylor of Kentucky Will
Probably Nullify Law.

Frankfort, KY, Jan Ex-Governor
Taylor, it is said, during his term of
Office will practically nullify the sepa-
rate coach act by pardoning all rail-
roads indicted for not keeping negro
and white passengers separate. The
Democrats say he is acting under the
Citation of the railroads.
AT the last session of the Allen coun-
ty circuit court the Chesa peake &
Nashville railroad was indicted for al
lowing. colored passengers to ride in the
white coach. When the case was call
ed at Scottsville today the attorney Of
the railroad presented a pardon, duly
signed by Governor Taylor. Several
other indictments are pending against
other roads, but. it is said, Governor
Taylor will duplicate this action in ev-
cry case.
The repeal of the, separate coach act
has been demanded for years by the
colored voters and the railroads, but
Governor Bradley, though a Republic
can, thought it wisest not to act in the
matter. The legislature will give the
governor a merry chase if he keeps up
the pardoning before trial. AS to the
separate coach law an amendment is
now pending in the legislature COM
polling full separate coaches instead of
compartments. The railroads are fight
ing it.
