oRIgIc1sEs THE BATTLEsH1Ps
w. e. McCully Says Big Engines
Have Proven q Failure.

Macon, Mo-, Jan. 19.-''The managers
of all the trunk lines who have con-
versed with me on the subject agree
that the big type freight locomotive
has not realized what was expected of
it, remarked w. E. McCully, chair
man of the board of railway commits
sioners, this morning. "Of course this
does not mean that they will abandon
attempts to get service out of the large
machines, because they are constantly
working with them and trying to rem
edy the defects. The objections so far
have been that the big engines dom
make the time required (Which is only
from 20 to 80 miles an hour. They
consume an enormous quantity of coal
compared with results, and they are
hard to make steam. You will rarely
find an engineer praising one of them.
In mountainous sections it requires two
firemen to shovel in coal, and where
one man only is used over a level coun-
try the work of firing is exceedingly
laborious.
THE moguls were introduced in Or
der to obviate the necessity of run
ming freight trains in lot of short
sections, or hauling long trains with
'double-headerS." 1t was, not expect
ed that they would make very fast
time, but it was hoped they would hit
q moderate schedule with long train,
under most any condition of weather
and country, without half killing the
fireman. Iney nave come Lar SuOII VI
this, it seems, and the builders will
have to materially overhaul their plans
before the battleship engines can be
called a success
At present the Atchison, Topeka, &
Santa Fe road is putting into commits
sion what are said to be the largest
locomotives in the world. They are
made by the Baldwin Locomotive works
of Philadelphia and will use oil and
coal These engines have ten drivers,
and with loaded tender weigh $40, o00
pounds. They are rated to haul on a
level load of 5000 tons. This would
mean train of loaded freight cars

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Will Enlarge Its San
BernardinO Shops.
DO All the Repairing for the
Salt Lake Line.
TEN YEAR CONTRACT.
125-FOOt Extension to Be Made
on Machine Shops.
TEN YEAR CONTRACT.
Is Reported Land for Enlarged
Shops Has Been Secured.

San Bernardino, Cal, Jan. 19.-The
Times Index says: The Salt Lake
shops are coming to San Bernardino
for ten years at least. This is the
rumor, and it is supported by evidence
which proves that the report is anthem
tic. From very reliable sources it is
learned that the Salt Lake has made a
10-year contract with the Santa Fe
under the terms of which the latter will
do all the light and heavy repair work
for the former, and that this work will
be done at the Santa Fe shops in this
city.
Within a very short time, probably
numbered by days, the Santa Fe will
commence actual preparations here for
the fulfillment of the contract. Plans
are being drawn for the extension of
the machine shops 125 feet. Other de-
partments will be enlarged in proper
ton, the Santa Fe Incorporating in it's
reservation all the land to the north
of the present shops as far as King
man street.
Recently an emergency appropriation
was made by the board of directors of
the Santa F'e of a large sum of money for
the purpose of building the extensions
mentioned, buying the land necessary
machinery. 1t is understood that the
company already has the titles to the
turned over to them at moments no
tice, without repetition of the barter
ing which was INDUCED in when the com
pany desired to close Fourth street.
In view of this contract the buying of
the land at Los Angeles by the Salt
Lake is hard to explain, unless it be that
eventually the shops will be built there.
Whether the location of the shops at Los
Angeles will be a Hartman move is open
| to question, though this is the surmise of
prominent railroad men, who explain
that as the Hartman interests have al
ready invested large sums in shops and
other improvements there it would be
natural to suppose that the same inter-
ests would seek to further the prosperity
| for all this it is almost certain that the
/ Salt Lake repair work will be done in this
city for the next ten years.

TICKETS WILL BE SIMPLE.
Railroads Will Not Require That
They Be Validated at St Louis.

Tho unanimous recommendation of
the St. Louis terminal lines is that no
fee for valuation of returning portions
of worlds fair excursion tickets from
any part of the country shall be made.
But further. and of more real import
ance to the travelling public, is the
recommendation by St. Louis lines that
from all points within radius of at
least 500 miles of St. Louis, from which
it is estimated 10 per cent. of the
worlds fair business will come. excur-
sion tickets shall be of a simple form
which will not require to be signed or
validated at all in st. Louis. The only
signature required on these tickets will
be the original signature at starting
point when the ticket is purchased.
This recommendation will undoubtedly
be adopted by other railroads connect
ing with the st. Louis terminal lines.
1t shows that the ST. Louis railroads
are accepting in good faith the deci-
sions Of the courts and the recent mu-
niclpal legislation for guaranteeing
them against the scalping of world S
fair tickets by ticket brokers. If these
laws hold good. and the railways are
permitted to continue the use of the
simple forms of tickets throughout the
entire period of the fair railroad off,
Gals contend that the travelling public
will be afforded an object lesson in the
relief from burdenSome contract tick
cts that might be granted all over the
country if ticket scaloing were Drchib-
;ted.
The valuation in ST. Louis of world $
fair tickets from the far distant points
is only necessary for the protection of
rates to and from intermediate points
and to enable the St. Louis lines to get
their connections to make ravora BILE
round-trip rates from distant points to
st. Louis. If scalping were prohibited
in other cities there would be no neces-
sity for putting passengers from the far
distant territory to the inconvenience
and trouble of having their tickets
valideted in ST. Louis. This great re-
lief is only one of the public benefits
TO be derived from the suppression of
apparent as soon as the efficacy of the
new legislation is more fully estab-
iished.

ROSWELL DEPOT BURNS.
Santa Fe Loses One of Its Pecos
Valley Line Stations.

The Roswell Record says: Yesterday
morning a short time before 1870 the
fire alarm sounded and it was soon dis
covered that the Pecos Valley depot was
in flames.
When the fire was discovered the
building was already past saving, as the
entire structure was of frame and it
burned like hay stack. The fire com
pany was on the ground in a short
time, but entirely too late to save the
property. What the loss is the officials
are not yet able to estimate. The loss
of freight in storage is much more than
the loss of the building. AS one of the
trainmen put it, Nothing was saved,
but the lot, and it was badly scorched. y
A temporary depot consisting of three
cars on the sidetrack has been impro-
vised. A freight car answers the pur-
pose of a freight depot, a passenger
coach for waiting room, and COM
bination coach for an office. The tele-
graph instruments have been installed,
and Agent Burns will handle the bust
ness as best he can under these diff
culties.
No word has been received as yet as
to what the officials will do in regard to
a new depot.

COULDN'T GET WATER.
Bad Break in the Fire Drill for Presi-
dent z. P. Ripley.

There is a good story going the
rounds about a certain fire department,
says the San Bernardino Times-Index.
1t was called out to give a drill for
the special benefit of President Ripley,
who, with other high officials of the
company, has just arrived from the
east in their private car. They were
guided to the location of the supposed
fire; the big whistle sounded it's alarm,
and in fine mettle the department re-
sponded reaching the imaginary con-
Migration in an incredibly short space
of time. 1t was an inspiring sight to
watch the trained action of the firemen.
and as they rushed forward with the
nozzle aimed squarely at the fancied
fire, President Ripley gave evidence of
delight by clapping his hands. The
men, though, instantly realized that a
flaw had occurred in their drill, for the
water should have been streaming with
great velocity from the hose as soon
as the nozzle had been trained on the
fire but alas. in his excitement, the
proper individual forgot to turn on the
water and the suspense for a few
minutes was something awful.

to be his. His friends. laughed at what
they called a within but note was made
of the exact time. a little later he
declared that somebody was removing
the hard substance which had caused
him so much annoyance. A comparison
of notes showed that the facts of the
exhuming were as Dresser had said in
his room. After the operation was
well completed Dresser was able to
sleep free from the annoyance which
he had constantly felt before Some
of the friends of the ex-lineman are in
clfned to look upon his ina gination as
over fruitful. But Dresser declares
that the departed leg has actually sent
him some very real communications.

A CONVERSATION WITH A CLIMAX.
When a Professional Man Talks, It's
to the Point.

Several famous American physicians
and surgeons were recently dining to-
gether after a session of a national
meeting held in New York
Il had a remarkable case this win

name as a specialist in rectal diseases is
world wide. My patient was woman.
q delicate, nerve-racked creature, who
had suffered so fearfally from the raw
ages of hemorrhoidS, that the knife
seemed the only solution of the trouble
and yet her heart was weak and her
strength SO wasted by this fearful dis
ease, that we dared not operate.
Il had ceased my visits to her for a
time and had given up all hope, when
one morning she entered my office look
ing like a new woman; the pallor had
disappeared and the lines of suffering
were nearly eradicated from her face
She told me she had bought at a drug
store for fifty cents a proprietary medi-
cine in suppository form called Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, and had obtained instant
relief from the first insertion. I made
an examination and found the rectum
in excellent condition, the Inflammation
entirely disappeared and the swollen
veins in normal condition.
II was so interested in the case that
I had the remedy analysed carefully
and was so pleased with the result of
the most healing and scientific remedies
present in the Pyramid Pile Cure and
in a more convenient form than could
secure them otherwise, that I wrote to
the Pyramid Drug company at Mar
shall, Mich, asking for their booklet on
Piles, their Nature, Cause and Cure,
(Which by the way is sent free,) and
have since used their Pile Cure extern

tice. I do not hesitate to recommend it
