DOWN MARSHALL PASS.
Thrilling Experience of Brakeman
Whose Cars Broke Away.

Trainmen in charge of train No. 1922
had a thrilling experience on Marshall
Pass last night, says a dispatch from
Salida, Colo. The station and side
tracks are located on top of the Con-
tinental divide, on each side Of which is
a 4 per cent grade An empty car was
switched in on the sidetrack and with
loaded with lumber The impact broke
the brake beam on one of the fat cars
and started them down the western
slope of the mountain
In a flash they were passing down the
steep grade at the rate of seventy-five
miles an hour. Eastbound passenger
train No. 316 was due to arrive and
would meet the wild cars Realizing the
awful situation, Brakeman H. A. Arnold
started running on foot after the cars
He felt certain that death awaited the
passengers and crew of No. BIG. When
he had gone three miles down the
mountain he met the passenger train
pulling up the steep grade.
Flagging the trains, he asked the en-
gineer if he had seen two fiat cars load
ed with lumber. The engineer laughed
at the brakeman and asked if he was in
sane, as no cars had been seen. Board
ing the passenger train, Arnold started
back to the pass. looking on both sides
of the road for the missing cars. About
two miles from the station the cars
were seen in a gulch 200 yards from the
track They had left the rail and
plunged down the embankment without
leaving any signs on the track
No. 316 was a few minutes late, and
on account of this failed to meet the
cars before they left the track. On ex-
animation the fat cars proved to be
only a mass of splinters. No one was
injured.

REPLIES TO MITCHELL.
Follower of Parry Makes Savage At
tack on Labor Unions.

New York, Jan. 26.-John Kirby, jr.
of Dayton, o., chairman of the National
Citizens Industrial association. the
principal speaker before the 146th reg
ular meeting of the New York Univer-
salists club. replied at length to the
address of John Mitchell, president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
who spoke on labor at the last meet
ing of the association. Kirby declared
that the vast majority of workingmen
had been driven into unions through
fear, and continued:
What shall be said of the claims of
Gompers. Mitchell and other Leaders of
these destroyers of peace and quiet.
that the unions are not responsible for
these acts of lawlessness. violence and
murder2 If these leaders are sincere
in making such claims, why are they so
pcrsistently and strenuously urging
congress to pass that infamous anti
injunction bill, called a bill to limit
the meaning of the word Conspiracy"
in certain cases.

DISCOURAGE OFFICIAL ROUTES
Central Passenger Association Will
Oppose an Old Graft.

Omcial routes for conventions will no
longer be countenanced by the Central
Passenger association. The practice
thus prohibited has been common for a
long period. An organization about to
rates generally had an executive officer
in a position to do a big favor for a
railroad, and had it designated as the
official route for the purpose of in
fiuencing the greatest number of those
attending the meeting to travel over
it's line. The individual effecting this
received some sort of compensation. Tt
has now been decided that any further
repetition of this practice by any of
the association lines will not be toler-
ated.

GIVE THEM ANIMALS.
Fitting Acknowledgment of Good
Service by Trainmen.

General Manager Ackert, formerly of
Chicago and now of the Southern rail-
way, has made an innovation which
will prove popular with the men on his
road. Formerly when engineers and
conductors wanted to travel they were
compelled to get half rates or trip
passes. Under the new order they are
to be presented with annual passes.
Engineers and conductors who have
served five years will get them over
their divisions. Ten-year men are to
receive ANIMALS for the entire system
east of the Mississippi river, and Is
year men will get them for themselves
and wives. More than 1000 engineers
and conductors are affected.

RAILWAY IN FISH BUSINESS.
Stocking Colorado Streams With
Trout from Denver Hatchery.

The Colorado & Southern railroad has
secured 10000 trout, averaging six
inches in length, and will place them in
the stream tributary to the Platte near
the headwaters of that river. The trout
were obtained from the Denver hatch
cry and are much larger than those
shipped for the purpose of stocking the
streams of Colorado in former years.
They will be put in the streams near
Bailey, Shawnee, Gunnison, Insmont and
Glenarm. The fish will be put in the
water this week and will be large
enough to provide sport for anglers
when the fishing season opens.
