RAILROAD WRECKS.
Thomas A. Scott Used to Handle
Them without Gloves.

Them without Gloves.
when that wonderful railroad gen
ius, the late Thomas A. Scott, was
building up the Pennsylvania system,
the work he did was superhuman, the
results he accomplished marvellous, .
said an old railroad man. "Scott was
essentially a man Of action. For ex-
ample, at one time there occurred on
the line freight wreck that piled up
scores Of cars in confused heap in a
cutting, thus completely barring the
main line.
The local authorities were beside
themselves, for they could not figure
out how the wreck could be cleared
away and the line reopened in less than
two weeks. At this juneture Scott ar
rived on the scene and after a survey
of the wreck sent for great quantity
of coal oil, with which he had the pile
thoroughly drenched. 1t was then
touched off, and the god of fire soon
removed all trace of it. and traffic was
resumed ON the line in "a hours.
"a bridge fell, and it was feared a
long delay must ensue, but Scott put
more than 1000 men to work on that
one structure and thus eliminated the
question of delay. Those were the
days when such things counted and
were not only possible, but necessary.
Today railroading is reduced to such a
fine point that the need for them no
longer exists. The roads are too safe
guarded for that.
1.-THE last instance l remember of
such railroad work as that was at the
Johnstown food in 1889, think it was.
Frank Thomson, by great work and
the use of side lines, was one of the
first to arrive upon the scene. Once
there, he took full control, the division
from all over the line
were summoned, and a particular task
was given to each one to do instantly.
They one and all responded as best
they could to the spur, and the line
was reopened with incredible swift
ness. There were one or two failures,
however, and those men, while they
were kept on as superintendent Of I'M
important mountain divisions, were
never again promoted."-New York
Tribune.

MINOR NOrEs-

Martinsburg never had such a big day.
The Fourth of July is legal holiday,
but the fre-wot Ks always.
The city and the visitors had patriotism
to burn.
DIR. w. S. Richardson, of Winchester,
the honory marshal from Wilamsport,
although now a Marylander, was delight
ed with his visit here, as his mother was
from Virginia soil.
MIR. w. K. Dawson, one of the honor
AIRY marshalS from Greencastle, was de
lighted with his visit and entertainment
and was particularly struck with the hos
pitality OF the Martinsburg people.
1t is a cause of regret to everyone that
Winchester did not capture one of the
prizers, as that place without doubt sent
the largest delegation. The judges We're
fair and impartial and selected the Wlners
without any prejudice whatever. 1t is
hoped that the reel contest will be settled
to the entire satisfaction Of both Winches-
ter and Waynesboro,
Judge Atkinson, one of the marshals
from Winchester, found many familiar
faces here and was delighted with the eel
ebration.
All the ice for the barrels on the street
was donated by the Rockwell Lovet1
Company, JOS Imbach and the hrm
of EIchelberger x Showers, each furnish
ing a half a ton.
The brain Of President Robinson seems
meyer to be exhausted That The town

Mr. H. c. Berry, the Aide to the Pres

orders during the day.

and they should have protection, by pro-
hibting placer claims.
las far as the establishment of territo-
rial government is concerned il is only the
southern portion of Alaska that wants it..
The northwestern region does not wish for
legislation. and il is not fit for ii. All it
needs is a few circuit or district judges
and good military protection. This is what
the miners and Congress should know 1t.
The Senators and Representatives who
wish to legisiate for Alaska should first be-
come acquainted with the conditions Of the
country. The only way to get the proper
idea of the governmental needs of that vast
region OF the United States, is for our Ma
ional Government to appoint special
commission from the War, Interior, State,
and postoffice Departments, to go, not for
summer excursion into the Yukon basin
but to go for two or three years and to
make exhaustive reports on the conditions
existing there. The Geological Survey had
commission there. but it only reported on
the geological conditions not on the condi-
tion of the people.
"A commission appointed from the
named departments would be able TO make
general report to Congress, and sepa-
rate report for each department on the
needs Of Alaska in that department. The
reports would form the basis for future
legislation The condition OF the Esk-
imos. Laplanders and the reindeer needs
prompt investigation, and this commission
would be able to report on these things
as well as on much else of importance.
Taking into consideration that in the
course of the next five years Alaska VIII
yield to the United States over sl00,O00,-
goo In gold, a good system of legisla-
ito nought certainly TO be established,
and this will only be done satisfactorily
TO all parties after a thorough investiga
tion has been made by a commission of
earnest, responsible men, who are not
afraid to rough il and to endure hardships
for the sake of valuable knowledge and
information"

stage.
One of the most distinguished guests of
the evening was Miss Emily Mason. a
descendant of the famous old Virginia fam
lily of that name, who was in the receiv-
ing party. Her gown was of rich black
lace over white satin, and she wore the
Confederate colors in her breast. Miss
Mason was famous for her deeds of mercy
to the sick and wounded soldiers during
the civil war, and is one OF the most phil
anthropic women of the South today.
An especially attractive feature OF the
ball was the home supper which was pre-
pared under the supervision of the ma
irons, assisted by dozens of attractive
bellies.

NEW EVENING PAPER.

The much talked Of resumption of the
Anaconda Recorder plant Wit John Nc

but the exact time on which it will make
it first publication is unknown. The
plant from which was at one time issued
a daily and weekly paper and later o
weekly was owned by Mr.. McMurray who
went into bankruptcy, causing the plant
to cease operations, but a mortgage
which was foreclosed was the first thing
to stop operations. During the progress
of bankruptcy the plant was sold to Rey-
holds & Mcdowell OF Butte, who are said
to be backed in their purchase by M. Don
ahue, manager in the Copper City for
the Anaconda Copper Mining company,
and other hackers of the Daily wing Of
democracy in Montana. Reynolds & Nc
Dowell paid over 1900 for the plant with
their personal check, but that is said to be
for the purpose of shielding the real back
ers of the paper, which it is claimed will
be run as a silver republican organ and
will issue daily as an evening auxiliary
to the Anaconda Standard. 1t is also re-
ported that the paper will print all of the
day telegraph news and will circulate-itas
both Anaconda and Butte, for the pur-
pose of erasing the Inter Mountain off the

by running for the office of police magis-

most ardent opposition that was ever
