Engine a Mass of Flames at Fort
LcavenwOrth Bridge.


Leavenworth Times: With great
tongues of fire shooting 20 feet in both
directions from its sides, leaping higher
than the cab and enveloping the steel
monster, engine No. 1870, one of the
Missouri Pacifics big Baldwin freight
moguls, came to a sudden stop 80 car
lengths south of the Fort Leavenworth
bridge yesterday morning with her
crown sheet torn from the bolts and
the boiler empty of water and red hot
under the pressure of a roaring blaze
in the firebox. Engineer I-abee and
Fireman Phillips only escaped from
cremation by jumping from the cab 10
the precipitous river bank and from
there catching the flying, unbridled
train and setting the hand brakes. The
accident was one of the rarest things
in railrOading. The water had entirely
run out of the boilers though the water
glass remained full and the blaze III
the firebox heated the crown sheet, or

dropped from the bolts through the
pressure, forcing the great flames out
through the ash pan openings and
through the door to the box from the
cab. Engine No. 1920 is one of the

on fast freight runs. It had in charge

Umpire Franklin on Duty.

1t was the opening day for Topeka,
but there were no frills and fringes-
Mayor Bergundthal did not pitch the
first ball and there were no auto

Here the Conquering Hero Comes
That was all dispensed with. Players
and audience alike watched the
threatening skies and hoped fervently
that Old Man Pluvius would take a
vacation.
There was only one thing to mar
the game, and that was the work of
Umpire Franklin. There is plenty of
room for doubt always on base deci-
sions, but on strikes and balls Frank
lin must improve. This is not a sore
head" criticism by any means, but it
is a fact. as the players of both teams
will testify. He is fair and works
hard, but he does not seem to get his
optics focused on the pail IN Just the
right way. In the fourth inning he
stuck a five plaster on Abbott One
of the orioles from Leavenworth
ripped out a little infielder- Olson
fielded it fast to the big first baSeman.
The ball was low, but Abbott says he
scooped it up. Umpire Franklin de-
clared that he caught it on the ground
and that the runner was safe. This
made the first baseman mad, and he
tore into the field after the umpire
The latter gently waited him back and
fined him five dollars.
The fans rooted like old hands at
the business. They put to shame any
football gang that has been on the
field for years. There was only a mere
handful, yet they raised enough dis
turbance to be heard out at Pauline.
If that kind of spirit keeps up. then
Topeka baseball is assured But the
game deserved everything it got in the
way of cheers.
The grounds were wet and heavy,
and it was only with the greatest diff

ing, although few successful ones
were made. Many were tried, but few
succeeded. Some of the fielders
made errors which cannot be charged
against them, because of the fact that
they do not know how to swim.

GRADING CONTRACT LET.
Orient Has a Lot More Money Now
for Kansas Work

Reports received from A E. StilweH.
president, and Edward Dickinson, general
manager of the Kansas City, Mexico and
Orient railroad, who are in the east, say
that they are succeeding even better than
they expected in securing money on ORR
ent bonds. Mr. Stilweu and Mr.. Diclxin-
son have been on the present mission
about five weeks and expect to return to
Kansas City May p. The company does
not intend to do much track laying until
enough money is secured to build a long
strip of track at once, and now that the
success of pla cling the bonds has been so
great, active work on extensions between
here and Wichita and in Old Mexico prob
settles. no delays will be caused by
heavy rains.
The Orient has let the grading contract
from Cottonwood Falls to the Usage coun-
ty line through Lyon county and graders
are now at work The company has fin
ished paying for its right of way through
Usage City and buildings are now being
moved off. 1t is the opinion of business
men there that the Orient will connect
with the Missouri Pacific at that place
and run into Kansas City.
J. J. Sylvester, vice president of the
Kansas City, Mexico and Orient railroad.
says that the Orient line would be com
pleted from Milton to Wichita, Kan, in
60 days. The company is now operating
from Milton to Wichita over the Missouri
Milton and Wichita is twenty-one miles.
With this track the Orient will be in oper-
alton on its own tracks between Wichita
and Fairview, Ok, a distance of $50 miles.
This is exclusive of the part of the SyS-
TEN in opera ton in Mexico.

it does not come from Santa t'e

logical deductions and the drift of
present affairs
IT is known that the proposition of
building their own lines into Houston
for a better connection with the main
line has been a matter of serious con-
sideratiOn on the part of the Santa Fe
people for the past year or more, but
for reasons perfectly apparent they
have kept their own counsel about the
affair It has not been their intention
to permit the matter to get abroad
until the expiration of their contract
with the Southern Pacific, or rather as
late a date before that time as prac-
ticable.
Now that it is practically assured
that the road will build from Bay City
to Alvin, the extension can scarcely
be doubted. It is known that the high
lease paid the Southern Pacific for
trackage from Rosenberg into this
city has made that arrangement a
very unsatisfa Glory one to the Santa

BUY SANTA FE CENTRAL.
George Gould said to Have Secured
Independent Line

George Gould Said to Have Secured
independent Line
The long cherished desire of Gen. w.
J. Palmer to construct the Denver &
Rio Grande to FL Paso. Texas. will be
realized if George J. Gould. present
owner of the system, carries out his
plans.
The Santa Fe Central railroad. ex-
tending from Santa Fe to Torrance.
a point south on the Rock Island. is
to be purchased by the Gould interests
as the first step in the furtherance of
the plan.
From Torrance to FL Paso surveyors
have been at work for some time and
the proposed extension of the Rio
Grande will practically parallel the
tracks of the Santa Fe and the Rock
Island into Ell Paso.
So soon as the Santa Fe Central
passes into Gould control the Rio
Grande Southern will be made standard
gauge from Antonito to Santa Fe and
an entirely different route will be pur-
sued, the old narrow gauge right Of
way being abandoned This will give
the Rio Grande a broad gauge road
from Denver to Torrance, n. NJ, and
to FL Paso when the surveyed line is
built.
It is stated by those who are authori-
ty for the story that there will be
heavy bidding against the Gould inter
ests by the Rock Island, which al
though it does not need the Santa F'e
Central is not at all anxious to have
another competitor into FL Paso.
General superintendent Coughlin
with other officials of the construction
department, are now at Santa Fe and
their mission there is to examine int1
the rebuilding of the line from Santa
Fe northward to Antonio.
