NEW CAUSE FOR WRECKS.
Dead Locomotives Responsible for Nu
rnerous Railroad Accidents.


merous Railroad Accidents.
Chicago, Feb. 15.-A new cause for
railroad wrecks has been discovered
in the monster locomotives that are
now being used so extensively by all
railroads.
While being hauled from their
places of building to the roads for
which they are intended it has been
ascertained that the giant engines
have been playing havoc with the
tracks of the lines over which they
have passed.
Reports have been received show
ing where the unconnected drivers of
the monsters have pounded rails so
hard that the latter have been broken
and others have been so badly injured
that they have snapped under pressure
OF the following trains
superintendent, roadmasters and
others who have reported the matter
are of the opinion that not few of
the recent wrecks that have been at
trlbuted to defective track may now
be traced to broken or injured rails
resulting from the transportation of
these engines in an unfinished state.
The trouble has become so serious
that an order was issued by the Rock
Island road today requiring all dead"
locomotives received for transporta-
tion to be equipped with the side rods
in position and coupled,
