the steamer for Sydney, C. B. The train
met with an accident, to which the St
johns Telegram of Feb. refers as fol-
lows:
An occasional correspondent, writing
us from Port aux Basques under date
of Wednesday, furnishes some addition
al particulars of the recent train acct
dent at Red Rocks, eighteen miles from
the former place. He says: The train,
according to reliable accounts, was run
ming very carefully, owing to the hurri-
cane then blowing. The locality is one
notorious for violent squalls. At $50 a
furious effort of the gale lifted the train
of four cars bodily and hurled them
from twenty to forty feet away, clear
of the track. 1t is appalling to think of.
Consider for a moment that these cars
weigh fifteen to twenty tons each, and
their surface of wind resistance is very
limited, so that it is only a matter of
calculation to prove that the wind,
which caused this accident, must have
been blowing at the rate of 40 miles
per hour. This is a velocity very nearly
double that of the most destructive
hurricane ever experienced in this
country, OF in fact in these latitudes.
So far as the writer is aware, but very
few instances of a train being derailed
by wind are on record, and at least two
of those occurred in the state of Kan
sas, where a train, in each case, was
caught in the vortex of a cyclone The
casualties are fortunately very slight 4"

FAST ROAD BUILDING.
Two Miles of Memphis Track Laid in
Ten Hours.

Joplin, Mo, Feb. 24.-An instance of
rapid railroad building occurred near
Joplin yesterday. when two miles of
road were built by the Kansas City,
Fort Scott & Memphis railway in less
than ten hours.
This road desired to put in a switch
from its Hne to Chitwood Hollow, two
miles northwest of Joplin, where sew
eral big producing zinc mines are 10
Gated, and as the company feared an
injunction or some other interference
by rival roads. it decided to lay it's
track at night. Everything was in
readiness, and the construction train
was to have reached Joplin at mid
night, but freight wreck on the road
delayed the construction train four
hours. AT 4 o'clock in the morning,
during a storm of sleet and snow, the
work of road building began, and at 2
O'Clock in the afternoon the last spike
was driven. Two other railway com
panies had planned to put in a switch
to Chitwood Hollow, but both were
beaten by the Memphis route.

AGENTS, HOPE GONE.
Discussions Will Not Lead to Re-
sumption of Commissions.


Chicago, Feb. 24.-AlI hopes of ticket
agents that dissensions would lead to
resumption of commissions have been
destroyed. The Canadian Pacific and
its 500 line agreed at Montreal on Mon
day to act in concert with the other
American roads and cease all payments
of commissions on business with lines
in the United States after March /.
The Grand Trunk had agreed some
time ago to stop paying commissions in
the United States and now that the
Canadian Pacific has agreed to join it
will cease to pay commissions in Can
ada.
It is understood that the presidents,
on March Z, viii adopt stringent meas
ures to stop general passenger agents,
ticket agents, and others, who lately
have been working to knock out the
agreement, from fostering any. further
opposition. Any man employed by the
railroads who violates the agreement
will be promptly discharged. The spe-
cial committee of presidents, which
was perfeeting the agreement, has been
annoyed greatly by the efforts of some
of the general passenger agents to pre-
vent the working of the agreement.

CONDUCTORS WOES.
Electricity Played Him a Prank and

During the snow storm Friday a West
Sixth avenue car was slowly moving UP
the incline between jackson street and
Kansas avenue. The conductor evil
IDENTIFY supposed the motion was re-
tarded by the snow and he was at the
front of the car clearing the track Of
the supposed hindrance.
The trolley had been thrown off and
it came in contact with the wire just
enough to furnish power to keep the
car in motion. BY the time the car had
reached Kansas avenue another West
Sixth street car had overtaken it and
the conductor made a futile effort to
call the attention of the conductor on
the first car to athe displaced trolley.
Finally some one called the attention
of the conductor to the cause of the
difficulty and the trolley was replaced
and the car moved on at it's usual rate
of speed,

binary Locomotives.
Interesting Items of a General
and Local Nature.

Denver, Feb. 24.-Railroad men are
greatly interested in the new scheme
evolved by Superintendent Dyer of the
Colorado & Southern. The rotary be-
ing used on the South Park division IS
a monster when measured on narrow
gauge basis, and it is quite difficult to
keep her nose in the snow with the
ordinary engine. What is wanted is
great pressure but slow motion, and the
regulation drivers do not give that. In
practice the wheels soon begin to spin
over the icy tracks as soon as the pillow
gets down to hard work, with the result
that the pressure soon ceases and the
snow stops flying.
superintendent Dyer hit upon a
novel plan, which is now being tried.
He borrowed one of the big-geared en-
gines from the Colorado & Northwest
ern and sent it out with the pillow We'd
nesday night. The popularity of the
engine is that it has no drivers of the
regulation pattern, but a three-cylin-
dered vertical engine, hung on one side
OF the boiler, actuateS a horizontal
shaft which in turn is geared into small
wheels of h0gie trucks on each end of
the machine. The wheel base is alb
normally long, but on account of its
fexibility the trucks curve much short
er and do not slip as readily, therefore
the pushing efficiency is greatly aug
mented.
The recent Gripping of the big plow
1t is reported, was not caused by ice
and snow as was generally understood
but on the contrary, the machine got
a test of an entirely different sort. In
going through a big drift the pillow met
a light engine and the way the wood
and iron were chewed off the pilot is
said to have been the amazement of ev-
erybody concerned.
Guess we might as well run that
thing through the woods for cutting

remark of superintendent Dyer when

Derailment of Freight Train Results
In Death of Fireman.

The first section of train No. So, the
southbound Texas fast freight on the
Rock Island, met with an accident late
Thursday night, resulting in the killing
of the fireman and the injuring of the
engineer and brakeman. The accident
was due to the train running into a
switch which was partly thrown, derail-
ing the engine and tank and damaging
several cars.
The freight train was running very
fast at the time of the accident, which
happened near sKingfsher. Fireman Ike
Haley was instantly killed, and Engi-
neer NJ. Crowley and Brakeman A. L.
Sproud were slightly injured. The ac-
cident delayed traffic for several hours
and an investigation will be made to
determine who is responsible.
