4 LOCOMOTIVE Il DAY.
This Is the Rate at Which One Road
Is Ordering Them.

I'm tired snorted the big ten wheel moguI
harging his way into the division roundhouse
They tackled ten heavy to my load to-day
and 1 was already pulling more than any self
respecting locomotive ought"
I'm tired too" declared the head of the fast
express, still perspiring from every pore of her
POLISHED sides. It's burning shame to make a
thoroughbred lady-thats what they call me
work like a freight dub"
Freight dub indeed" Kissed the mogul. with
the last of his left steam. I'm just as
good as you on any division from Jersey City
to Chicago. and the road a heap more"
He would have said more, but the last of his
steam drifted away in thin air
Like a perfect lady" the passenger flyer"
determined to have the last word
It's your business to do the work and make
the dividends" she said. scornfully. Il make
The reputation of the road. They put me in the
newspapers. L stand for speed, but if they con-
tinue to overload me 1 won't last long Some
day I'll fool them and come in a minute late"
In a corner of the roundhouse, so tired it
could hardly whsper-eyen if in it's reduced cir
cumstances it had possessed the nerve to break

clean up. Its boilers leaking but there
was no chance for trip to the repair shops
They don't know what tired is" the yard
rat said to itself. They work me eighteen
hours a day, and when l rest they hardly pull
my fires. 1t will be the scrap heap for me unless
l get vacation soon"
So might the locomotives talk if they had
power of speech. Never in the history of rail
reading in the United States were there so
many locomotives. and never were they so sadly
overworked. More than four thousand new To-

Germs last year, and this years figures will
probably reach five thousand In spite of this
no general manager will venture to say when
the tired engines will get a rest.
And now comes Great Britain patting herself
on the back because a large order of Iocomo-
tyes for Canadian railroad has been placed
in Glasgow. This is simply another proof Of the
much boasted American supremacy. An official
OF the road said when the order was sent to
Scotland that it would have gone to the United
States had not the American shops been too
busy to deliver the goods when they were
wanted.
few years ago the cry from shippers was:
For heavens sake, give US some cars!"
Now they are protesting: Cant you give us
a locomotive? The siding has been full of load
cd cars for weeks"
The shortage in equipment has changed from
cars to engines, and the strain of breaking
biockades has put a large number of the latter
out Of business Cars are absolutely no use to
traffic managers without engines with which to
haul them. Worse than that, additional cars
would only increase the present trouble by
blocking the sdngs and terminal yards

BOARD WILL OBEY =.
BRILL'S RULING
Property Owners to Be Given
Hearing in Two Assess
ment Cases.

Until a rehearing or an appeal to the
supreme court can be obtained the
board of public works will obey the
late ruling of Judge Brill in so far as it
relates to the right of property owners
to be heard when an assessment dis
trict is to be laid out for any particular
improvement. 5ss.=5z%ze
Thursday the first hearing Of this
kind will be accorded property owners
when the assessment districts for the
paving of Exchange and East Sixth
streets and the construction of a sew
er on Rice street will be discussed
What the property owners can demand
in the fixing of the assessment district
is not known, but the members say
they. will be given chance. to talk
just the same.
The fixing of an assessment district
has been a prerogative heretofore ex-
ercised solely by the board and the
members are inclined to look upon
Judge BrilPs ruling with some doubt
but they say they will obey it until
higher authorities have passed on the
question. ss
The ruling in question was one on
general street improvements in which
the expense Is met through the medium
of assessments on the property bene-
fitted. Judge Brill practically held that
there can be no taxation in these i'm
proVementS without representation.

ARMY NEWS.

The United States supreme court
yesterday decided two cases involving
the question as to whether army Off
GERS, who upon their own application
have received discharges when distant
from home, were entitled to travel pay
The cases were those of Lieuts. Sweet
and Barnet, both of which were decided
by the court of claims favorably to the
claimants. That opinion was reversed
by today's opinion. The opinion was
delivered by Justice Holmes, who said
that the practice of the war depart
ment and the treasury department in
not allowing claims of this character
had not been maintained and the court
was of the opinion that the decision
should not be OVerruled.
Secretary Root has reversed for
mer ruling of the department regarding
sales of stores for the department. Last
fall the question was raised whether
supplies not needed for the army were
subjected to duty when sold. There
was a sharp controversy between the
. civil and military authorities on this
question, not only in the Philippines,
and it was finally held by the secretary
that the duty on goods sold must be
paid. The matter was later reopened
and the secretary, in reversing the for
mer ruling, says that goods sent to the
Philippines for the army in good faith
must be entered free of duty and if in
time they are condemned and sold,
duty cannot be assessed against them.
The attention of the war department
has been called to the activity of
Oberlin M. Carter, formerly captain of
engineers, now confined in the peni-
tertiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,

COUNTY BONDS GO
LOCAL BIDDERS
Demand for the Certificates Is in Ex-

Ramsey county's certificates of in
debtedness have been disposed of. LO-
cal investors were the purchasers, and
so popular were the bonds that after
their sale and the manner in which
they could be purchased was given
publicity, bids were received on more
than the county had to dispose of.
The bids for the certificates, the
amount of which is $4,000, We're
opened by County Auditor Krahmer
yesterday, and the result was highly
satisfactory to the county officials.
There were fifty eight bids, and the
aggregate amount bid for was $149, 900,
or nearly $4,000 more than the issue.

you have assessed here at SIS. They are
all under water and of no value"
The assessment was reduced from

Tried for Insanity.
It was at the hearing in the probate
court yesterday that Mrs. Vierling told
Of her husband having so many pic
lures of other women, all of whom
were on the matrimonial market.
when 1 went through his clothes
one day. said Mrs. Vierling, 81 found
his pockets filled with letters describ-
ing women and telling of their desire
to secure a husband. He also had
lot of pictures of them. Why, he can't
take care of the wife he has now, let
alone looking for more'
Then the wronged wife produced
some, of the letters and a number of the
photographs. While the letters were
being read Mr., Vierling sat by and
smiled. Once or twice he winked
knowingly at one of the doctors who
was there to examine him as to his
sanity
The wife said she believed her hus-
band was mot exactly right" and for
this reason she had thought best to
have him examined.
Did 1t for Fun.
Vierling admitted being a member
of a matrimonial bureau, but said he
had gone into it Just for fun
"One day 1 readsan advertisement of
this matrimonial agency, so l wrote to
it. and ever since then I have been re-
ceiving all kinds of letters and photo
graphs and offers of marriage. 1
thought it was a good joke
Mr.. Vierling thought his family was
trying to get rid of him, but he did not
know why. They had caused his ar
rest on the charge of non-support and
when they failed to convict him the
insanity dodge had been resorted to.
1.-The whole trouble isl explained
Vierling, they don't like it because I
won't let them have their own way in
everything about the house. They all
turn against me in everything l at
tempt to do"
Probate Judge Bazille decided that

that it would be unnecessary for him
to communicate with the sheriff of the
county. But the fight occurred accord
ing to programme.
Had the governor communicated with
the sheriff, as was his intention, and
the sheriff then failed to perform his
duty according to law, the governor
could remove him from office; but in
the case of city officer the governor
has no such authority.
