MADE FAST TIME.
How Engineer Wellman Took Limited
Into Emporis on Time.

Easily the best record for time that
the limited has made this year and one
of the fastest ever made with that
train was that of Thursday morning.
When Engineer I. Wellman and Fire
man R. H. Lain coupled up their en-
gine to the train at Topeka it was with
the understanding that they were to
leave here Is minutes late. Everybody
knows them, though, as fast runners,
and it was no surprise after they had
left here when the operators began
sending in reports indicating that the
train was making up on an average OF
two minutes for every station between
this place and Reading.
The distance between here and that
place is 4S miles, but Wellman and
Lain made it in an hour, including two
full stops with the long limited train.
Then all the lost time had been made
up and the trip into Emporia was made
on the regular schedule. This is con-
sidered a remarkable run when it is
remembered that between Topeka and
Emporia there are perhaps more hills
and curves than ony any other portion
of the main line in Kansas The engine
used was 4S5, one of the new ten
wheel Rhode Islands.

Eastern Syndicate.

San Francisco, Nov. S.-The entire
system of the Market Street Railway
company has practically been sold to
Baltimore syndicate which has for sew
eral months been negotiating for its
purchase The deal is understood to
have been closed at a conference be-
tween H. Z. Huntington and I. w.
Hellman, representing themselves and
other stockholders of the Market street
company and George R. Webb of Bal
timore, r. G. Hanford and Attorney
General T. L. Ford of this city repre-
senting the Baltimore syndicate. The
terms of the sale are not definitely
known. The Call states that $26, 900, 900
in cash is to be paid for the property
and that the final papers will be signed
today. 1t adds that the syndicate will
expend at least $4,000,000 on improving
the property.
The Examiner says that the agreed
price per share is believed to be $95. 1t
states that the syndicate has deposited
$3.50 900 as a forfeit in case it backs out
of the agreement to buy after 60 days
which will be allowed for a further ex
animation of the property and books
of the company.
1.-THE syndicate" says the Examiner
''is to pay cash or offer in payment
standard securities acceptable to the
sellers If it takes all of the 186, ITO
shares at $95, which is believed to be
the actual agreed price. it will have to
pay SIT, 7,6S6.150. 1t is thought Mr. Webb
and his confreres will be able to get
practically all of the shares. In that
event it will be one of the largest street
railway deals ever consummated in this
country"
Mr. Webb, the representative of the
syndicate recently purchased the San
Francisco and San Mateo electric line
and the Sutter street cable line. He is
president of the United Railroad and
Electric company of Baltimore. He is

Time War.

Chicago, Nov. S-A time war is in
sight among railroads operating between
Chicago and St. Paul. Vice President
Bird of the Milwauke & st. Paul road

of the other Chicago-St. Paul lines that
the St. Paul company would consider it
self no longer a party to the agreement
