Tough of two weeks and left today for
Fleetwood, suburb of Reading, Pa,
where he will visit the scenes of his
younger days. Sch1egel came to To-
peka % years ago, but returned to his
old home once since that time. With
the exception of that trip he has stuck
closely to his post of duty.
Hereafter the Santa Fe will run until
further notice without the assistance
of Frank O'Brien. O'Brien finished his
apprenticeship in the boiler shop the
middle of the week and Friday re-
nounced his allegiance to the company.
John Bozarth, a shed car repairer, is
home from Wichita where he visited
kinsmen for nearly a week. Mrs. Boz
arth, who has been in poor health for
several months accompanied him and
was much benefited by the trip. Boz
arth's brother, Ward, who formerly had
a job in the car department. is mo-
torneer on the Wichita street cars. Mr..
and Mrs. BoZarth also stopped off at
Newton on the way home and were the
guests for awhile of D. G. Wood, form
erly shed man but now at the head
of that department of the Santa Fe at
Newton.
Ross Tracy, an emp1oye of the plating
room, was incapacitated for work
Thursday evening by inhaling the
fumes produced by dipping. piece OF
brass in a solution of nitric and sui
Dhuric acids. The effect was such az
to make his lungs SO sore that he could
scarcely breath and he was unable to
be at his post of duty Friday. The gas
which is liberated when the action of the
acids upon the copper or brass takes
place is of a reddish color and has a
ficient warning to those working near it
not to breath it.

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.
Peculiar Multiplication of Troubles
on the Frisco Line.

A head end collision of two freight
trains on the Frisco system two miles
north of La Cygne, Kas., early Thurs
day morning stopped all traffic on the
line until last night. The early trains
were brought into Kansas City over
the Missouri Pacific railway says the
Kansas City Times.
The south bound train was in charge
of Engineer James Trail. About a mile
from the scene of the accident the en-
CINE was stalled Engineer Trail I'M
coupled and started ahead to flag the
northbound train. He went too far and
as he rounded a sharp curve met the
north bound train. The engineers and
firemen reversed their engines and
jumped. The engine on the north
bound train was ditched and the light
engine after the collision began running
backward with no one on it. 1t ran
back until it struck it's own train and
wrecked several cars on it. None of the
crew of either train was hurt A tramp
who was beating his way on one of the
trains was slightly injured. He was
taken to FOntana Kan.

St. Louis Railroads Preparing Term
inals For Worlds Fair.

New York, Aug. 16.-Officials of all
the railroads entering ST. Louis mem
bers of the ST. Louis Terminal Asso-
citation met at the local office of the
plans of terminal improvements which
have become necessary to handle the
traffic of the Worlds Fair.
For some time past the agents of the
various lines, the chief engineers and the
officials of the Terminal Association
have been considering the problem, and
a committee was appointed to draft a
report and bring in estimates. The
meeting held in this city today was
called to hear the report
According to statements made after
the meeting, it is planned to exoend be-
tween s4,000,000 and $1,000, 900 in new
construction and terminal improve
ments at ST. Louis, and a resolution to
this effect was fully discussed and
unanimously adopted by the members
OF the association. Work will be begun
at once. and it is believed it will con-
tinue until the opening of the EXPOSE
ton, May 1, 1904.
Comment was made in railroad cir
cles after the meeting, when it was
learned that the Rock Island was not
represented at the meeting. 1t was
thought that the meeting might have
been called to consider the final settle
ment of the Virgins Ferry transfer,
and the terms upon which that property
would be taken over by the Terminal
Association.
The amount authorized for improve
ment covers the betterments to be made
Immediately, and which are positively
necessary in preparation for the Worlds
Fair. The full plans, when authorized.
will aggregate an expenditure of more
than 100000. These immediate i'm
provements will include the change in

BACK TO ROCK ISLAND.
Milwaukee Returns to Its Old Love
From the Missouri Pacific.

Denver, Aug. 16.-The Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul will soon go back to
the Rock Island for its Denver outlet.
The Milwaukee formerly used the Rock
Island, but some months ago it went to
the Missouri Pacific and has since been
using that road. 1t is said that the
Milwaukee is dissatisfied with it's SER
vice on the Missouri Pacific. and be-
lieves that by tying up with the Rock
Island it will be to a better advantage.
The Milwaukee'S reason for leaving
the Rock Island was to get connection
with a road that did not have a line
east of the Missouri river. By this it
hoped to secure more business. These
calculations went amiss. The Missouri
Pacific turned over business to the
Wabash another Gould road, that
could have been handled by the Milwau-
kee.
