AN ODD R. R. INCIDENT
An UnmanageabIe Engine Starts
Down the Communications Seven
Miles and Stops of its
own Accord

Last Friday night Engineer L. P
Durand and Fireman Annon in charge
engine No. 1853 left the tunnel for Leav
enworth. This engine has for several
months been used to do the helper work
at the big bore, but had gotten badly
out of repair and was being brought
down to get an overhauling at the shops
at this place. She was working steam
on one side only, being disconnected Oh
the other.
Nothing went wrong until after they
passed Merritt, where on a down grade
the air brakes refused to work. After
the engine got to going too fast, the all
brakes still refusing TO work, Engineer
Durand and Fireman Annon jumped
off. The former escaped injury, but
Ann7n lid not get off quite so easy, sus
tainlng a severe injury to his back.
But now comes the most remarkable
part of the story. Durand and Annor
started to walk down the track in the
direction the runaway engine had gone
intending to report the incident at the
first station, and would not have been
surprised to have found the engine
piled up at the side of the track. After
walking about six miles to their great
surprise and establishment they found
the engine standing on the track, right
side up and no harm done. They
boarded her, got up steam ard pro
ceeded on their way without further
mishap, getting into this place they
turned the erratic kettle over to Round
House Foreman Phelan. With the
heavy down grade, and the many short
curves it will always be mystery to
railroad men how the engine could
keep the rails. 1t is not hard to I'M
derstand how she came to standstill.
At that particular point, for short
distance, there is an upgrade and the
momentum gained in going down hill
was not sufficient to carry the heavy ma
chine, which is one of the large noun
tain engines, over the slight elevation.
This is one of the most remarkable
incidents of a wild engine getting be-
You'd the control of The engineer and
coming to dead stop without doing
any damage, in the history of railroad
ing in the Northwest.
Just ahead of the engine was a long
freight train going down the mountain,
and had it kept on going in a short dis
lance it would have collided with the
rear end with the inevitable result OF
killing two or more men in the 'caboose
and causing wreck that would have
delayed trains for day or more, tosay
nothing of the destruction of the en-
CINE and cars.u

Mr.. Hamilton, the electrician for the
Electric Light Company tells us that
he made a trial run of the machinery
on Wednesday, and that everything
ran very satisfactorily. Only for the
lack of the insulators and some other
supplies that have been lost in ship

and the town would be lighted by cleo

time everything will be in order, and
that the current will then be turned on.

Physicians Kept Busy.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Pneumonia, In
fluenza and bronchitis are keeping Chi
cago physicians busy. Nearly every
hospital in the city has one or more
cases of pneumonia, while the less SER
ious diseases are even more prevalent
Added TO these are the far greater
number Of cases treated at home. max
ing the list Of sufferers a long one.
The situation is complicated by the
fact that nearly every one Of Chicago's
hospitals is filed and unable to take
more patients. At the county hospital
there are s4s patients leaving but one
bed. Conditions are similar in the
other large hospitals. OF the $50 deaths
reported last week by the health au-
thorities, IT'S were from pneumonia,
while 81 were from cases Of bron-
chitis and influenza.

Arrested During Mass.

New York, Feb. 1.-Two members OF
the Lithuanian Roman Catholic church,
at South Fourth and Roebling streets,
were before Magistrate Higginbotham,
in the Lee avenue court this morning,
having been arrested on warrants
charging them with disturbing the SER
vices at the II o'clock mass last Sun
day morning. The men were Peter
Swedulskis, former treasurer of the
church, and Anthony Brigelis, former
collector. The trouble bgan a year
ago, when some members Of the church
objected to the priest making his finan-
cial report to the bishop before submit
ting it to them Two factions sprang
up, the accused men being displaced.
Last Sunday the trouble again broke
out, and the accused, it is alleged, at
tempted to secure the collection. Faith
er Varnagaris decided that he would
prevent a repetition of the disturbance,
and yesterday afternoon, accompanied
by his lawyer, John Kuhn, and Joseph
Rabikauskas, a member of the church,
went to the Lee avenue court and OBJ
tained the warrants. The men were
arrested by Court Officer o'Neill. Mag
istrate Higginbotham paroled them.

THE THIsTLEsANk ARRIVES.
Did Not Sight French Bark La 5ruyere

Did Not Sight French Bark La Bruyere
on Trip From Los Angeles.
The well known British bark Thistle
bank. Captain Parry, reached port yes
terday from Port Los Angeles. where
she touched after trip from Antwerp.
The Thistlebank is big four-master
OF 1892 net tons and has often made
this port. She has a miscellaneous
cargo, including large quantity Of
iron. and, it is understood, some rail-
road iron.
The Thistlebank left Port Los An
geles February 4. She did not sight
the French bark La Bruyere on the
trip up the coast. The Frenchman left
Port Los Angeles on January Is and
with ordinary luck should have reached
Astoria by February 1. The wind has
been favorable ever since she started
north, and there is some little anxiety
in shipping circles because of her fail
ure to make port. None of the ves-
sells arriving from California of late
sighted the French bark, which recent
ly encountered the full fury of the
gales which swept the coast.

BAR FORMATION VERY HARD

Sand-Fear Entertained For
Safety of French Bark
La Bruyere.

ut isn't so much the amount Of sand
that the Chinook carries to sea as the
amount that Is stirred up by her gear
and swept on out TO the currents run
ming north and south that win provide
greater depth" said an expert on the
subject yesterday. The gentleman in
question has long followed the dredg-
ing operations being conducted by the
government, and is thoroughly posted
with conditions at the mouth OF the
Columbia.
II appears that the bar of the Co.
lumbia river is covered with heavy
crust. This crust is so hard that 1t is
almost impossible for man to drive
pike into It. The pumping apparatus
of the Chinook is very powerful and
disturbs this hard formation. In
pumping the Chinook stlrs up thou
sands OF tons OF sand, and, as she al
ways works at the ebb of the tide, the
sand thus loosened is carried out to
sea, finding no lodgment on the hard
crust of the bar.
'The Chinook ordinarily, during good
weather. will carry 1900 to 5000 tons Of
sand out to sea in her hold" the au-
thority continued, ''but this is a small
matter compared with the vast guam
tity of sand that is removed from the
bar by the tide, after being stirred up
by the pumping apparatus of the
dredge. The vessel does double work.
l am confident she will give US excel
lent depth when fine weather comes"

ANOTHER BIG LOG RAFT.
Will Not Be lowed To San Francisco
Until June.

The Robertson Raft Company has
just completed at stella another cigar
shaped raft Of about the same size as
the one sent to San Francisco last
August. 1t is s55 feet in ength, As feet
in depth and IS feet breadth Of beam
and draws 23 feet Of water. 1t con-
tains $4,000 feet Of piling and is bound
and fastened together by 10 tons Of
chains, including the large chain,
which runs the entire length through
the center and to which the "tow line
is attached.
1t is interesting to know that it re-
quires crew Of but five men, with the
aid Of the huge derrick and tackle pro-
vided, to pile this vast amount of tim
Der in position In the cradle in which
the raft is built. There are no saw
logs or ships spars In the raft, only
pling from 80 feet in length upwards,
none of the sticks being more than IS
inches in diameter at the butt. The
present raft will not be towed to San
Francisco until some time in June. the
towing business proving much Of a
gamble; under ordinary weather con-
ditions the RATS reach their destina-
ton without incident. In stormy
weather they are apt to break apart or
be cast CLOSE by the tow, in which
event the investment proves an almost
total loss.
