ABBOTT MOVED BACK.
Rock Island Division superintendent
Leaves Goodland.

Goodland, Kan, Jan 16.-The office of
A t. Abbott, superintendent OF the
Colorado division of the Rock Island,
which was moved to Goodland last
October, was ordered back to the old
quarters in Colorado Springs this week
and the whwole force packed up and
left so quietly that only those who were
in the closest touch knew of the matter.
While the removal of this office and
it's eight clerks will not effect the bust
ness interests of Goodland to any ap-
preciable extent, the citizens of this
town feel that the railroad officials have
receded upon their promises.
The people of Goodland came to the
relief of the Rock Island here in its de-
mand for more houses, and considering
the circumstances, have made unt1r1ng
endeaovrs to faithfully and efficiently
furnish the needed accommodations in
Goodland as a growing railroad townw
The superintendent Office was brought
here to insure the investors in town
property that the railroad was in earn
est in its intentions toward this place.
But in this particular the Rock Island
has failed in its promise
The difficulty with which the clerk
force was kept here is assigned as the
reason for the removal; that the clerks
ground for this several weeks ago, but
none now. Some time ago the whole
force quit because they failed in their
demand for an increase In wages, and
that some of the clerks came back, and
in one instance a clerk was content to
take a job back at a reduction of SIS a
month in salary. Goodland and the po-
sition was not so bad after all
Another grievance of the clerks was
that they were imposed upon by exor-
bitant charges for board and room
rent They were treated equal with all
other people who needed the same ac-
commodations. and the charges more
reasonable, especially in room rent
the very object of their Drotest-than
they could secure in Colorado Springs.
Nevertheless the Rock Island has
done well by Goodland, and perhaps is
going to do better in the future. The
equipment of the shops and the round
house has been steadily increased until
now Goodland is a more important rail-
road town than ever before. All offices
of the Rock Island on this division are
here, with the exception of the super
intendent's office.

MIX STEAM AND AIR.
New Way of Heating Cars on French
Railways.

The Eastern railway of France has
adopted a car-heating system in which
a mixture of steam and compressed air
is used. The ordinary system of steam
heat was not found we'll adapted to
trains of as many as "a short cars, and
it was found difficult to produce cir
culation through so many units, and
the traps would not work. Mr.. Lam
crenon, the superintendent of motive
power of this line devised a method of
mixing compressed air with the steam
and distributing it by a system of coil
pipes in the compartments. A descrip
ton of this system is found in the No
vember number of the Revue Generate
des Chemins de Fer" 1t was found
that, by admitting a portion of COM
pressed air, the rate of flow of steam
was increased sufficiently to keep any
water of condensation moving con-
stantly toward the discharge end. It is
possible, also, with the mixed air and
steam system to heat long trains of
cars more rapidly and to make traps
operate with greater certainty. The
system has worked so successfully that
it has been adopted by the Eastern
railway of France for it's suburban
trains and for the Paris-Bordeaux line
of the Orleans railway.

Chicago, Ill, Jan. 16.-Negotiations are

HEATH ON THE STAND.
Former Postal Official Testifies
in the Machen Case.

Washington, Jan. 16.-In the trial of
August W. Machen, the Croft Brothers
and Brandmer IOrenZ, charged with
conspiracy to defraud the government
the defense scored an important point
with respect to the character of evI-
dencs to be introduced at this time by
the government. The defense insisted
that the government had not brought
forth any documentary evidence Show
ing the existence of a conspiracy to
defraud the government and that that
which was before offered naturally
should follow the evidence of conspir-
acy so as to specifically connect the de-
PENDANTS with the various transactions
which have been referred to. The court
sustained the point. At one point in
the trial Mr.. Douglass, for the defense,
called on Justice Pritchard to repri-
mand First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Wynne for volunteering the state
ment that a former employe of the de-
partment recently had been sentenced
in Baltimore TO a term of two years in
the penitentiary.
The suggestion was not complied
with but the justice instructed the jury
that their minds must not be prejudic-
ed by the statement of Mr.. Wynne.

He testified to his services in the de-

tener. which had been adopted and was
in use when he entered the Office. The
practice of the Office in the matter Of
the purchase of supplies, he said, was
continued after he entered upon his
duties. He was shown an order for fas-
teners with his name attached and
promptly said: That's my name and
