The chapter Of accidents to the machine
was remarkably short. An air intake valve
was broken in Idaho and the hub nut and
bearings Of one of the front wheels in W.
ominR. To repair the latter l:rocller got some
ball bearings from moving machine, and
with the aid Of local machinist made some
cones The stud bolts OF the connecting
rod broke, once at Rawlins and once at
Archer. A piece of tube from farmers
water pipe mended the break.
When the start was made the machine
was fitted with three well-worn tires and one
new one. Seven new tires in all were Sc
cured in the course of the trip, One of the
original tires lasted to within eighty miles
west OF Troy. The wear and tear on tho
machine and tires was abnormal from the
fact that tho tourists encountered rain at
some hour Of each day Of their journey
from Omaha until last Saturday.

PIPE GALLERIES FoR SUBWAY.
NO More Tearing UP Of Paycments In Lower
Broadway.

1t has been decided to build, in con-
junction with the Broadway section OF the
underground railroad extension to Brook
lyn. gallery for the carrying Of the water
mains, gas-mains and other pipes and
wires which are laid, without any attempt
at proper system, below the surface Of the
streets in the lower part Of the city. The
pipe gallery will be built in accordance
with suggestions made by DIR. James Z.
Bayles, an engineer who was employed by
Borough President Cantor, and who has
made long study of the problem Of laying
underground wires and pipes.
The plans for the gallery have been ap-
proved by Chief Engineer Parsons Of the
Rapid Transit Commission and b Mayor
Low, and by August Belmont. president OF
the Interborough Rapid Transit Company
The expenditure for the gallery will have
to be approved by the Aldermen, but John
I. Mccall and Little Tim" Sullivan, who
now control the Finance Committee Of the
board, have promised that the committee
will report favorably on the project.
The construction Of a gallery OF this kind
will obviate, in future. the tearing up OF the
streets to repair mains and wires
The wires for carrying power and for
lighting will be separated from those used
for telephones All the surface of the
street will be restored to public use, un-
broken by manholes. The structural fea-
lures of the pipe gallery conform to those
OF the railroad tunnel. The electric con-
ductors are to be carried in vitriied ducts
built into the concrete. DR.. Bayles says
that the advantages of pipe galleries are
to reduce danger to life and health from
gas leakage. because such leaks can be
readily located; for the same reason Under
ground water waste will be entirely avoided
and there will be no obstruction to traffic
by the tearing up OF streets.

TERRIBLE DEATH or HER DOLL.


A little girl on the l55th street viaduct
scared her parents half out of their wits
yesterday by climbing up on the railing
that prevents pedestrians from falling
into the street, 100 feet or more below.
The child's father grabbed her by the skirt
and pulled her back 10 the sidewalk.
He was too frightened to say much. so
instead of scolding he seized her favorite
doll, held 1t for her TO kiss good-by and then,
after telling the child 10 watch, dropped
1t from the viaduct. That was only part
of the lesson the man wanted to teach;
Next, he led his weeping daughter down
the two long fights of stairs to the street:
where they found the remains of the doll
In thousand fragments.
-Now you know" said the father, what
would happen to a little girl from such a
fall and you'll always remember how your
father and mother felt when you climbed
on the rail You shall have new doll to-

SUSPENDED DEPUTY SHERIFF.
Won Dessten's Story OF the $50 He Re.
celyed From Ernest III. Mount.

Ferdinand c. Won Dessten, the deputy
sheriff employed in the Tombs prison who
was suspended by Sheriff OBrien on Satur-
day. said yesterday that although he Is
accused of taking graft" the charge is
false. He made this explanation:
Some time ago man named Ernest II.
Mount of 2sO Broadway and his clerk,
William Gerken, were arrested on the
charge of floating a fake scheme They
were arraigned in the Tombs police court.
Gerken got bondsman, but Mount didn't,
and Lawyer Dan O'Reilly, the former
Assistant District Attorney, suggested that
he ought to have one.
Some one got a butcher named Hawke
in Leonard street to give bail for Mount.
For the favor Mount said he wanted to pay
the butcher $50, and wrote out a check.
went out to get the money for it. When
he returned Hawke was gone Mount
asked me to take the money and give il TO
HAWKE, which | finally consented to do,
after refusing a number of timea. AS
soon as l saw Hawke which was tho next
day, | gave the money TO him.
Mount was sentenced to three months,
and he served it. When ne got out he
W mt to Gerken and asked Gerkea if Gerkea
wouldn't help him get me in trouble, as he
said | had promised to help them out,
which l hadn't done. They went TO tho
Sheriff's Office and Mount made an affidavit
that I had accepted $50 from him to get him
out Of trouble and hadn't made good. At
the last moment Gerkem backed out and
refused to corroborate Mounts story be-
cause he said ne wouldn't hang a man for
nothing.
Il met Mount arter that and told him
that If he would come 10 the Shcrif's office
with me l would prove to him that the
statement he had made about me was
false He said he would, but when we got
10 the Sheriffs Office he had disappeared
There is no truth in Mounts story and l
am prepared to disprove It,"
Warden Van de Carr of the Tonnbs said
Yesterday that he had no jurisdiction over
the deputy snerifis and that he was not
assisting in any investigation of graft In

NEW DECATUR.
Coolest Day of the Winter Causes
 Much Trouble.

New Decatur, February 17-(Special.)- Today i- the coldest oay of the winter thus far, At 6 o'clock this morning the thermometer registered degrees above zero, and the weather moderated but very little during the day. Last night about two inches of snow fell, and the fall was accompanied by regular western bllz- gard. Photographic and telephone com municatlons were cut off almost entirely this morning. The Tennesse river Is higher than it has been for the past year, and it Is feared that there will be much damage and suffering along the river among the poor class.
 A small wreck occurred at Hartwell Hill, twelve miles south of here last night two cars were derailed, but no serious damage was done. Transportation was blocked for about two hours. The scene of this wreck has given the Louisville and Nashville company no end or trouble dur ing the past five years. There has been no end of wrecks there. It seems that the road bed is on quick sand aud the road gives way often during a heavy rain. About a year ago two negroes lost their lives at this place while working on the road bed. They were caught In the quick sand and were smothered to death before they could be rescued.
