THE DOUBLE HEADERS
Manager Nudge Tells OF His Ex-
perienCe With Them.

General Manager Nudge, of the
Santa Fee, passed through town yester-
day from Austin where he has been q
witness in the double header hearing
be fore the state railroad commission.
Mr.. Nudge has been for twenty Sc
ven years railr0ader and his testimony
IL given in full. He said the road
bed on the Rio Grande division of the
Santa Fee was rolling, SINH
lar to that 10 Texas. He did not believe
double-headers are dangerous be-
cause they have not had any men killed
o. Injured from double eaders, and
tina. the further experience on the
Santa Fee Is that the greater number OF
trains on the road, the greater num-
bar OF accidents. He has observed
that accidents have decreased on the
divisions over which doubled eaders
are run. He reiterated that the fewer
trains the fewer accidents from wash
outs aud at crossings. He testified tn at

of automatic couplers; that it reduces
the slack on freight trains one-balf.

TERLINGUH. TEX.
Quicksilver Mines And Water Cues
tiOn-Labor Plentiful And Wages
Good-Rdin.

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
TERLINGUA, Tex, March 25.-The
quick silver mines are still developing.
Work will sUon commence again On
the Ltndheiln and Devices mine which
has been closed down for some time on
account of q law suit as to the survey.
Professor Rock, from the City of Mex
leo, and Mr.. Puffer, from Boston,
have been here in the interests of a
syndicate wanting to buy quicksilver
mines.
Ths Maria and Mariposs, California,
Lindheim and Devices. and the Ex-
celsior, com pany are employing about
$50 men, and this mum Der will probably
be more than doubled in few months.
A mum Der of men lately having work
at Boquillas, have drifted this way and
all find employment at better wages
than they earned at Boquillas.
The greatest difficulty TO contend
with out IN the mines is scarcity of wa
ter, the Te'lingua creek being 10
miles distant. Tanks have been con-
structed which answer in the rainy
season. There is talk OF piping water
from the Rio Grande, a distance of
seven miles. Another scheme of put
ting on train of water wagons is on
foot, but it is more tt au probable that
some wells will be sunk within easy
distance Of the mines.
Fine showers have fallen over this
section of country and there is good
prospect of early grass.

GENERAL HUDSON'S COMMENT.
Editor OF the Capital Says the Shell.
don Experiment Mas Failure.

TOPEKA, KAHN an editorial in
the Capital, General J. K. Hudson,
ditor. says that the Sheldon expert
ment was a failure. Among other
things he says: The estimate placed
upon Mr.. Sheldon's experiment will
generally be that it was a failure as q
newspaper, and not above the acreage
as a religious paper. The legitimate
work of newspaper is, above all else,
to give the news. It may have q rich
miscellany, broad and Intelligent
editorial survey of the topics and issues
of interest, but If it fails to give the
general news from all parts of til e
without emasculatiou and censorship,
it falls primarily in giving the people
what they want, and have a right
to have.
"The religious weeklies and monthlies
of the country are edited by able men,
and they offer in good form religious
news and discussions of subjects ap
propriace for their columns that fully
satisfy the general demand for special
religious reading. On the other
hand. the secular daily press in the
large cities employs the ablest writer's
and oest-trained men for every depart
ment. The secular daily is q paper,
whether partisan or independent. not
made for class or sect or part Of the
people OUT IOr Oil Gne poOp!S, ana as
such must offer It's readers a paper free
from sectarian religious bias.
"Whether q daily paper is repubii
can, democratic or populist in politics,
it is made for all religious denomina-
lions, the Jew rs we'll as the Methodist,
the Catholic as we'll as the Presbyte-
rian, aud for the man who has no
belief. That it should stand for all
that builds up com munity, for all that
makes good citizens, for clean NUM-
cipal government, for honest political
methods, for schools and churches and
libraries, for the good name of the city,
the state and the nation, requires 20
argument. The press of the country
today is on the eide of law and order;it
is against crime: 1t is for fairness and
justice, and ever ready to champion
the weak against the strong"
Referring to the Rev. Mr.. Sheldon
personally General Hudson said: mo
matter how widely one may differ from
him regarding the experiment he has
tried, all who know him recognize his
intense earnestness, his unsullied inte
gritty, his modesty and lack of all
pretense.'

against accidents. He said the brakes
on the driver wheels of both engines
are worked On Atchison trains.
I Witness said that the number OF
| accidents go to increase the cost OfOpe-
rating a railroad and that the greater
cost to the railroads, and it would be to
the roads interest tolessen the numbe
of accidents. The profile of the Atchi-
/ son road was introduce In evidence to
chow the rolling section over which it
traverses and upon which ituses double
headers. He had travelled extensively
| to in vessigate the operation of railroads
| handling freight economically and WAS
positive that il was due to the use OF
| dou ble-heade rs. He said that the men
on his road had never complained OF the
practice being hazardous, but that the
conductors and brakemen desired extra
| pay on account of the increased work
| on the heavy trains.
On cross-examination by MIR. Camp
bell, witness testified that the fret re
gulsr practice of running double head
ers was near Trinidad, Col, in noun
| famous district, where the grade
| averaged lS5 feet to the mile. He
| acknowledged that double heading
over some of the divisions OF his road
has been inaugurated within one year,
also, that previously it was confined to
the mountains districts. He did
not consider the crew in the second
engine in a more perilous position
| than a passenger engine crew. He
could see Obstructions on the track
| that the second engine crew could not,
also that when business is light, the
number of telegraph operators are
| reduced. He said that trains break
in two nearly every day on his five
thousand miles of road and that the
| automatic couplers are used which he
| break at times. He acknowledged
that by doubly increasing the power
on the elements of safety on a train it
reduces the safety one-haIf but that
four engines pull cars with coupling
appliances that break as seldom IS
when small engine Is used. he was
not advised that the Frisco had dis
carded dou ole-heading.
! On redirect by Mr.. Terry, witness
thought the greater the number
of operators the greater liability to &C.
by his road have prohibited double
heading. He thought that the failure
of the men in the second engine to see
ahead is Offset by the other elements
of safety incident to the operation of
double-headers; also that there have
! been very few accidents on the Atchi-
son. He believed that the strain on
coupling apparatus Is as great with the
same amount of power, whether it is
generated with one or two machines.
He testified as to saving in cost of
operating one long train as compared
, with two short trains. He said that
there WAS trouble in introducing the
| dou ble-he aders, bat that after the men
| have experience the trouble vanishes.
He said he believed that a long train
| can be handled by trainmen as easily
| DIS q short one; however, the brskemen
could not hand brake seventy cars as
easily as twenty-five care, where the
air fails to work, therefore slightly
increasing the danger.
