The Colorado Southern is to
soon erect new shop buildings at
Denver.
One hundred miles OF new rail-
road were constructed in Colorado
last year.
The Missouri Pacific shops at
Kansas City. Kan. have been so
rushed with business that the en-
ployes worked IS hours day last
month.
In Dodge City there are now
two passenger crews, three crews
on 81 and 81. four crews on 81 and
So and fifteen crews in chain gang,
or about 90 brskemen and as con-
ductors who reside there.
Three new engines for the divi-
sion OF the Santa Fe between Den

Gently. One of them is in service
and the other two are expected to
arrive shortly. The engines num-

are OF large size, all three being
Io-wheel consolidated s.hogs."
Engines of7 and 5si which were
concerned in the head-end collision
at Palmer Lake last week, arrived
in La Junta last Tuesday, and
are being stripped preparatory to
being taken to Topeka. The boiler
head OF the sSi is wedged into the
head end OF the boiler of the 9I7

had been employed TO make the
transfer.
Charles Dyer, superintendent OF
the Santa Fe, has resigned to ac-
cept a position as general superin-
tendent OF the Colorado Southern.
The change takes effect February
Ist. 1t is quite likely that a joint
arrangement has been made and
that Mr.. Dyer will be superintend-
ent OF the line between Denver and
La unta, operating both the Santa
Fe and Colorado s. Southern.
The system OF pensioning old
employees OF the Pennsylvania Rail
way company on the lines east of
Pittsburg was inaugnrated the first
OF the year. About $50 men who,
by reason OF long service in the
company.s employ. have become
incapacitated for further duty, were
retired on pensions that average
nearly half the wages they received
VIXEN at work. Hereafter no per
son over IS years OF age will be
taken into the employ OF the com
pany.
The Santa Fe railroad will not
enter San Francisco until some
time in March. The date OF Janu.
ary I'D, which was set for the com.
pletion OF the line into the Pacific
coast metropolis has been changed.
The biggest cave-in that has been
recorded in railroad construction
for years happened in the three
mile tunnel the Santa Fe is con-
structing on its way to Point Rich
mond. The extent of the cavern
caused a temporary pause, and
sixty days, it is now given out from
headquarters, will be consumed be-
fore the great bore can be cleared.
There will probably be no change
in the time table until the in

Geneva, July 11.-(Special. )-Camp Will reunion here. Quite a good programme had beeen arranged by the young people of the city to entertain the veterans A grand march through the city, headed by place, and followed in long line by the old veterans from Henry, Dale, Coffee and Geneva Counties and some from the State of Florida, was something that had not been witnessed in this county for long time. All were invited in the large, new courthouse, where a speech of welcome was made by Col H. H. Foster, Mayor of Gen. eva, who turned the town over to them. He was followed by Hon. C. D. Carmichael, who delivered very fine oration on the Fourth of July, paying the old veterans high compliments for the bravery and man. hood exhibited during the years of 1S61-5. MT. Carmichael's speech was one of the best ever listened to in Geneva and all who heard it are singing his praises.
 The reunion wound up last night with a concert by the young people at the court house. given for the benefit of the old vet erans, which was enjoyed very much.
 Mrs. w. M. Louier and Miss Nellie Leigh Rev. w. l.. Cahall and Fred Weatherly will be remembered by the old veterans for the nice entertainment given them at night. The camp elected w. D. Campbell as commander for another year, and will come together again at Hartford to celebrate the Fourth next year.

OSCAR MANN'S
 SKULL BROKEN He is Dying at New Decatur as Result of a Quarrel With
 John Alexander.

New Decatur, July 11.-(Special. )-oscar Mann is lying in an unconscious state in a room at the New Decatur hotel, and his physicians say he will die before midnight. His skull is broken into many pieces, his brains are slowly oozing out, and he is gradually growing weaker.
 His condition is the cause of several licks over the head with billiard cue in the hands of John Alexander, a moulder at the Louisville and Nashville Railroad shop here.
 At late hour last night, a crowd of men, including Mann and Alexander, was in George F. Buchheits saloon, in Sec ond avenue, when Mann and another fel- low engaged in a quarrel and retired to a vacant lot to settle it by blows. Mann whipped the fellow; then the two made friends and went back to the saloon to get a drink. As they were drinking, Alex ander who was playing pool, asked Mann if he found a fellow to whip. Mann re- piled; 'I was not looking for a man to whip" whereupon Alexander said: You should not have jumped on a little fellow like that" Alexander then struck Mann with his hand, knocking him back, and then struck him over the head several times with his billiard cue. Alexander was arrested and is now in jail.
 The above story was related by eye wit ness. Alexander says he was justifable in striking Mann, but did not say what req son he had for the act. Mann is a paint CT by trade, and came here from Birm- ingham two months ago. when his wife and child died of smallpox. Since that time he has been drinking heavily. The affray has caused much excitement here, and there is strong feeling against Alexander.

ST. LOUIS STRIKERS
 ISSUE STATEMENT
Declare No Fair Settlement Can be Obtained While Baumhof
 Remains Gen'I Manager.

St. Louis, July 11.-A statement of the CTS. reviewing the strike since it's incep- tion, was given to the public today, and in the closing paragraph the statement de- clares that in the opinion of the union, fair settlement of the strike cannot be ob- tained while MT Baumhoff remains in the position of general manager. A member of the executive committee of the local Union of Street Railway Employees, said that the day had been passed in viola ton of the statements made by MT. Baum- hoff regarding the names of men that he has reported had gone to work for the Transit Company. It was stated that not a single man had deserted the union, and but one man of all the names posted by Mr Baumhofr had gone to work, and this man had quit work as soon as the stock was redeclared.
 Cars are running on all the lines about as usual, but it is noticeable that the num- Der of wagons and other vehicles carrying passengers has increased during the past two days. President Whitaker had this to say today:
 II know nothing of any statement hay ing been made that the company would proceed to live up to the agreement by which the strike was settled.
 We have reinstated several men who substituted their applica tons after the set tlement.
 The company will continue to pursue the policy which it has always followed.
 Tt stands ready to take back any for mer employe who asks for a position, and Who Is known to be good man."

SMITH OUTLINES
 CAMPAIGN FIGHT He Says the Contest Will Set tie Down to the Curren-
 cy Question.

Canton O., July 11.-Postmaster General Smith, when asked today along what lines he expected the campaign to be fought, said:
 q think the contest will settle down to probably two issues, one of these, probably the chief one, will be the currency ques- tion. The Democratic Convention had made it so. They refused to accept the verdict of four years ago. They have proclaimed their stand for silver and the battle of four years ago on that question will have to be fought over. There's no such issue as im- perialism. That Is fiction. There can be no imperialism in this country, but the ques- tion of upholding and strengthening the government in dealing with the issues growing out of the war and in administer ing the new people brought under our care and protection is an important issue and will figure conspicuously in the campaign"
 ITO what extent will the trust question enter into the campaign?'
 "Not to a great exetent; in my opinion, that is a business question rather than political issue and the Republican party has decided in favor of such Legislation as will correct any evils that may exist and control harmful combinations as clearly and as forcibly as any party can in honesty and, fairness"
 DO you think the Chinese question will enter into the campaign?'
 'No; do not, it cannot become an issue. The government is doing no more than any government must do to protect its people, We have emphatically and continuously disclaimed any intention to do anything else. The note of the State Department bearing on this subject has been well re- ceived by the people of this country and by the representatives of the powers.''
