MIR. DAVIS INVENTION.
Has Plan to Facilitate Smoothing of
Cylinders.

A R. Davis, foreman of the machine
shop is the inventor of a simple con-
trivance for the smoothing of the inside
of the cylinders of triple valve air
brakes, which will be a great time and
labor saver. 1t will be understood that
every time the brakes on a train are
applied the air piston on each car
moves backward and forward: and
when this is continued several hundred
times, the walls of the air cylinder are
sure to become worn rough and the eff
cheney of the whole apparatus seriously
impaired. In order to remedy this it
becomes necessary to take these parts
TO pieces and grind them true again.
This has required much time and atten-
ton. being done usually by hand The
device which Foreman Davis has in
vented is a cylinder exactly the size to
fit the parts that are to be ground, and
containing thirteen small rollers, so adj
justed that by means of a screw they
can be pushed outward or the size of
the contrivance decreased. AS soon as
it has been fitted to the valve, it is
moved back and forth by means of a.
handle, the rollers simply smoothing
out the rough places of the brass with
out taking away any of the metal and
at the same time doing the work with
mechanical exactness. 1t is regarded as
a very important mechanism, for where
as the cost of grinding one of the valves
has been about so cents, in this way it
can be done for about one-third of a
cent. Application for a patent has been
filed

Road is Nearly Completed.

San Francisco, Feb. 22-The Exam

the belief that a big railroad and finan-
cial deal is on the taps by which Geo.

Senator Clark of Montana are repre-
scented as. being connected with Gould

The alleged railroad statement is said
to contemplate the erection of a fine
depot and hotel on Market street IN

From there on a road will be built TO

Senator Clark is rapidly CON pleting
the final surveys for his San Pedro. Los
Angeles and Salt Lake road From the
reports of Chief Engineer -HawgOod it Is
known that the approximate of the line
will be 500 miles Six hundred miles
have been surveyed and a portion of the
road built. 1t is estimated that by pay
ing cash instead Of raising money by
a bond issue, the road can be built and
equipped for $40 000, 900.

THOSE NICE BRIGANDS.
Government Officials Can't Believe
They Have Broken Faith.

Washington. Feb. 22.-It is estimated
at the state department that Is days
have now elapsed since the money for
Miss Stones ransom was paid over 10
the agents of the brigandS-
At least five days have elapsed beyond
the time fixed in the stipulation to place
her in the hands of her friends. There
is no explanation of the delay 1t IS
hoped that physical conditions, such as
heavy SHOWS and adverse weather may
account for the failure to secure her de-
livery The officials are loath to believe
that there has been a breach of faith on
the part of brigands, but even if this
were so they do not regard themselves
as blameworthy for having trusted
them.
From the first the United States gov
eminent has been adverse to paying
ransom, but in response to appeals from
every quarter reluctantly authorized Mr.
I1eischman to deal with the brigands-
However, if it turns out that the brig
ands have broken faith and that they
have either taken the ransom and spir-
tied the captives away again or that
they have killed them then there will be
no further attempt to deal with the
brigands on the part of the United
States, but its entire power win be di-
rected upon Turkey and upon Bulgaria
to procure the swift and certain exter-
mination Of the brigandssy regardless OF
cost or effort.

to the officials of the Missouri Pacific,
the Frisco and the Kansas City South
ern railroads The officials of these
roads say that if Mr.. Wiley can do
what he says he can do it will be of
ineStimable value to railroads.
The device is called a .tteIegraphone."
The telephone instrun emit is placed on
the wall of the baggage car or caboose-
When the train. crew wishes to talk
with the officials miles away at divi-
sion point a small metal plug is in
serted in thevend of long jointed pole.
This plug is connected by wire with the
telephone instrument and the wire is
on a reel which unwinds for whatever
distance is needed. A fat metallic hook
at the other end of the pole is then
hooked over any of the telegraph wires
strung alongside the track and the tele-
phone is ready to work. A crank on
the telephone sends a signal to the dis
patcher'S or trainmas ter's Office at the
end of the division and the trainman
talks to him just as he would through
any telephone. The telephone message
does not interfere with the telegraphic
messages going over the same wire and
the instrument is so made that the tele-
phone message goes in either direction
that the train man wishes.
This device is in actual use on the
Rome, WATERFOWL and Ogdensburg di-
vision of the New York Central rail-
road a distance of 500 miles, and works
perfectly, Mr.. Wiley says

Appointed Travelling Conductor.

Robert L. Daniel, who has been break
ing on the Ell Paso-Rock Island route
for several months, has been appointed
travelling conductor for that line by A.
S. Greig. the assistant manager, says
the FL Paso Times Mr.. Daniel is now
up the line in the discharge Of his new
duties.
Mr.. Daniel has had many years ex-
perience in railroading. He first ran
trains in the east, then came west and
thence to Mexico. where he was con-
ductOr and trainmaster. He came to Ell
Paso in order to get better schooling for
his children and to get in on the E. 2.
R l., had to commence as a brakeman.
While making a coupling up the road
in the latter part of last year he was
caught between two cars and severely
mashed. He is now able to be about,
but not yet able to return to hard work
and the appointment to the position of
travelling conductor comes in very nice
for him. His many friends are congrat-
ulating him and are pleased with his
having received the appointment, feel
ing sure that he will ably fill the posi-
ton.

Kansas pretty thoroughly covered now
We will have an entrance into Kansas
City SOON.
The Independent telephone companies
of Kansas that have combined to build
trunk lines over the state are active.
This week several carloads of copper
wire and enough poles and other ma
terial to equip the lines were ordered
from Topeka.
Topeka is the recognized center of
the state, and all the lines that are to
be built will center here. They are to
be built in from every direction. IT is
the intention of the independent COM
panies to so thoroughly cover this ter
ritory, and in fact all the territory west
of the Missouri river, that the Bell sys-
tenn viii not be able to maintain its
foothold.
An arrangement was made at the re-
cent convention of independent tele-
phone men here to give financial aid
to any small company that should be
hard pressed by the Bell people
1t is anticipated that sooner or later
a war to the finish will begin. This war
may be beginning in Topeka now.

The work there has been concluded, all

points ON the western divisions of the San
