When the doctor arrived the elevator
had stopped and he was obliged to walk
up three flights of stairs. AS he opened
the door of the woman's room she gasp
ed her last. The doctor sank into a
chair, painting from the exertion of the
swift and hard climb, and an instant
later slipped to the foo lead. He, too,
was a victim of heart disease.

unusually strong upward current Of
water at that part of the boiler An
other fact which indicates poor circu-
lation is, that although the engines have
an enormous heating surface compared
to the volume of the high pressure cyl
in6ers, and consume great deal of
fuel, they are comparatively poor steam
erS.
This, think, is caused by the water
not reaching the firebox heating sur
faces in sufficient quantities to absorb
the heat from them, which makes it
necessary to force the tube heating sur
face to supply the deficiency, and as the
tubes are known to be less effective than
the firebox, this requires an excessive
amount of fuel.
AS remedy for this difficulty I will
suggest that circulating pipe of suffi-
Gent capacity be attached to the lower
side of the boiler, extending full length,
and connected at the mud drum in
front, and at several points to the water
space directly under the lowest part of
the firebox. This pipe would allow the
water to circulate from the front end
OF the boiler to the firebox water space
without coming in contact with any
currents that may be caused by the flow
of steam toward the dome.
1t is my opinion that this improve
ment would make the Vanderbilt boiler
all that one could desire

YoAKUM STILL DENYING.
Says There's Nothing in the Story of
a Rock Island Deal.

st. Louis. Aug. 14.-B. F. Yoakum,
president of the Frisco system, returned
to St Louis yesterday morning from
Caldwell on Lake George, where he has
been with his family since the an
nouncement of his Chicago and Eastern
Illinois railroad coup.
THE Chicago and Eastern Illinois will
maintain the same relations with all of
its connections, and all other roads. as
heretofore" stated Mr.. Yoakum. mo
changes have yet been considered, and
cannot anticipate what will be done.
The facts in the deal have been stated
fully and accurately" More than this
Mr.. Yoakum had nothing to say.
In regard to plans for St Louis
connection with the Chicago and East
ern Illinois Mr.. Yoakum would make no
statement. He emphasized his former
statements that the Frisco control had
not passed from ST. Louis hands, either
to the Rock Island or into Morgan's
hands. The Morgan Southern Railway
combine, into which Wall street persists
in bringing the Frisco, is an irritating
subject, which Mr.. Yoakum declines to
discuss, deeming his one positive denial
sufficient. He treated the Central of
Georgia report in the same manner.
President Yoakum will depart from
st. Louis again in a few days.
Harry Nash, Mr.. Yoakum's private
secretary, also returned to Frisco head
quarters.
