William Goebel and j. G. W. BecAham
were shortly before nine o'clock
Wednesday night sworn in as governor
and lieutenant governor of Kentucky
respectively. The oath was admins
tered to both men by Chief Justice
Hazlerigg. This is the latest action of
the democrats and the plan was set on
foot as soon as the report of the con-
testing boards, which for two weeks
had been listening to the evidence in
Goebers contest for the governors
chair and which, declared him entitled
10 the seat, was heard.
Orders Military to Disperse.

Two orders were quickly prepared for
his signature. the first of which dis

for the most part made up of repub-

to do so will almost certainly result in
trouble.
1t was announced by members of the

LINK AND PIN.

cling of the Nicaragua canal.
According to report, Mr.. Hunting-
ton has come to the conclusion that his
interests will benefit more than they
will suffer from the construction OF the
interoceanic waterway.
While he is still of the opinion that
the opening of the canal will affect the
long hauls of the Southern Pacific
road injuriously, Mr.. Huntington be-
lieves that the development of the
Pacific coast will gain as much in short
hauls ss it will lose in long hauls.
Besides, Mr.. Huntington is the prin-
cipal'owner of the Pacific mail steam
ship line and of some of the finest
wharfs on the Pacific coast, all of
which property will be greatly en-
HANGED by the opening of the canal.
The Californians consider the with
drawal of Mr.. Huntineton's opposition
the biggest boom which the canal
could receive at this time.

Ventilating Cars.

A novel method of ventilating pas
senger cars and clearing them of smoke
b as been introduced on several of the
smoking cars on the Reading railway,
and the result has so far been satisfac-
tory. The device consists of three
two blsded fans suspended from
the top of the ventilators
and operated by small
air motor located upon the roof sof the
car. The motion of the car operates
the air motor, its speed being regula-
ted entirely by the speed of the train,
and that in turn operates the fans upon
the inside of the car, keeping up a con-
tinuous air circulation and forcing the
smoke and foul air out through the
veptilators. The fans are so arranged
that they can be disconnected from the
motor by a very simple process.
Besides clearing the cars of smoke
aud foul air, the fans keep the cars
cool, and Reading official said to At for
that purpose they would be an admi-
rable thing in summer, when passeng-
ers could keep their windows down and
escape the dust and be perfectly COM
Portable beside. The idea originated
with high official of the company,
who has risen from the ranks. He is q

HANDLING FTUIT.
Southern Pacific Is Preparing To
Look After Big Shipments OF
ORANGES Again.

THE reported routing agreement OF
the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific
seems to have had no affect after all on
the orange trade. The Southern Pa
cific people say they are on the point
of handling immense shipments, and
are taking every precaution to put the
fruit through in good shape.
In this connection, Superintendent
Martin of the G. 81. has posted q bulle-
tin in which he says that the general
manager advises him of a large move
ment of citrus fruits from California to
eastern points via New Orleans, and
asks that extraordinary attention be
given the vents of the cars, by the con-
ductors in charge of fruit trains. and
very careful seal and weather report
kept.
When the outside temperature is
higher than 80 degrees above zero the
ventilators should be open and set and
the hatch plugs dropped into place.
When the outside temperature is 3O
degrees above zero, the earnings
should be folded, the hatch plugs in
place and the hatch plug cove shut. 1t
is of first Importance that the ven
tilator patches be closed and gratings
when set be resesled in all cases to
prevent opening or closing of ven-
tilators by thieves or pilferers.

Mr.. HERBERT MAY 60

It Ia pretty well understood among
railroad men that r. l.. Herbert, the

successor is agitating the minds of rail-
road men.
Mr.. Herbert will be transferred to

here less than year, but experience
has shown him that bis heart ia affect
ed by the altitude here, and cannot
stand the strain. Only few months

of a wreck at Del Rio, he suffered from
q sudden attack, and it was necessary
to send DR.. Turner down on a special.
Mr.. Herbert is otherwise in fine

the company will use him elsewhere.

TICKET AGENTS
Threatened With d Loss of Half
Their Income.

InSlT IuCOuuC.
Monthly incomes of railway ticket
agents of the west, southwest ana
south east may be materially decreased
before many more weeks have passed.
A sweeping abolition of commissions IS
likely, and generally SPEAKING com
missions mean between 40 and oO per
cent OF their incomes. Passenger Of
fcials of eastern, southern, western and
southwestern lines will meet at the
Auditorium Thursday for the purpose
of acting upon a proposition to do away
with commissions in all the territories.
A short time ago all the eastern
lines out of Chicago entered into an
agreeme mt to abolish the payment OF
commissions to ticket agents, but they
have found that unless the western,
south western and southeastern lsnes
enter into q similar agreement they
will not derive the expected Dement'S
from such action. If Thursday g meeting
Is productive OF the desired results an
effort will be made, it is said, to In
duce the western lines to become
parties to the agreement. AS matters
now stand. southwestern agents ind IL
to their advantage to route passengers
to the east over southern lines, such as
the southern and seaboard.
In 1880 the lines entered into an
agreement to abolish commissions, but
the agreement was short-lived. SO
long as the agreement WAS in effect the
roads saved much money. Ii Is estl-
mated that the average amount now
paid by each of four leading western
lines in COMMISSIONS monthly is about
90. 900.
In the average town of $4,000 or
20 900 Inhabitants ticket agent re-
ceives salary of $45 or $50 month.
At this time lis COM missions swell his
income to $50 or $50 or more month.
In smaller towns the salaries are pro-
nOrtionRte1v less.

THE STOCK MARKET.
How 1t Was Influenced By d
Single Train On the Rock Is

Livestock on foot was steering along
took rise and fell fat. Chopped beef
very plentiful in surrounding terri
| tory. Steers, fat. plentiful; de-
msnd good; supply diminished.
The cause of this huctuation in the
stock market was due to Rock Island
engine running into a bunch of fat
steers near Clyde. Kansas, Gays the
Topeka Journal When the remainder
of the bunch was counted later, it was
found that just an even dozen were
missing.
It was the Denver portion of the
Rock Island train due in Topeka at
$50 o'clock in the afternoon. The
train was just rounding a curve into
Clyde when the engineer looked ahead
and saw several cattle standing on the
track, and two herders doing their
best to drive them off. The engineer
put On the air and whistled, but the
cattle only turned around and watched
the engine approach.
Almost instantly, with heavy thud,
the engine struck the bunch. The
emergency air pipe broke and set the
emergency brakes on the train. For q
moment and only a moment the trail
,stopped, giving the passengers time to
close their eyes and unceremOniously
dive headlong into the seats in front OF
them, and when they opened their eyes
horns, legs, hind quarters, fore quar-
tiers, tails and all m amer of pieces of
twelve cattle raining down on all sides
of the train. The. train stopped but an
instant. The emergency air brakes
scarcely tigh tened on the wheels when
the train started to slide OF its own
momentum, and continued for seven
telegraph pole distances, fiattening
every wheel. -rs}
II was a peculiarly decorated train
when it stopped, and the passengers,
none the worse for the experience, hur-
,ried out to see what the matter was.
There was beef to the right of them;
there was beef to the left of them;
there was beef all around them, where
the engine had steered. There was
the better part of six steers piled up on
the pilot of the engine. Sticking in
the smokestack of the engine, with the
large end up, was a hind quarter of
beef. All along the top Of the engine,
on the running boards, on the cab, on
the cars, was beef and plenty of it. In
every direction there was beef and
chopped beef.
"I don't think that killed them all )"
said the engineer, as he climbed down
from the engine.
''Well, guess you did a pretty good
job," said the fireman, rs he surveyed
the scene.
The train crew set to work and soon
had the beef fairly well off the engine
and cars, and before many minutes de-
lay the train was on it's way again,
mp-bumpty bump along the road
on account of the hattened wheels.
Arriving at Mcfarland another train
was secured to continue the trip to
Topeka.
