Cumberland at noon will be the next
to arrive. while later in the evening
many passenger trains will get along
and about midnight No. 10 and the
puquesne Limited are expected.
No. 6 left for Grafton at l:40 in
charge of Engineer Brennan and
Condnc;.e' Gump, as pilots, while the
two following were in charge of Con-
ductor Knapp and Engineer Shaw and
Conductor Reese and Engineer Riley.
Yardmaster Riggs is furnishing these
pilots from his yard force. but Fourth
division men who came down on the
West bound sect. us will take the
later ones back. Two regular WesI
bound trains from the Pittsburg divi-
sion came in shortly after three
O'Clock as sections of Il and contin-
ued down the Connellsville division
as sections of 81. This is an unusual.
ly heavy day in the yard but business
is practically at standstill on ac-
cunt of the heavy passenger traffic.
The main line is also having its
troubles and they are more aggravat-
lHS tldH the ones On lIc SISTER uINl-
sion, although less expensive. The
heavy snowfall today is more than
telegraph wires can stand and every
few moments wire in some section
or other breaks under the weight.
That means that communication with
any part of the division is impossible
and trains have nothing but their
time card rights on which to travel
and these amount to nothing at all eX
cept in the cases of passenger trains.
A late report says that the entire
crew was killed except the engineer.
The accident occurred in most pecu.
liar manner. The train had stalled
in the tunnel and as the crew was
about TO smother. the engine was cut
loose and run out for air. The brakes
did not hold on the train and soon it
followed the engine out and at the
curve crashed into it.

SUIT DISMISSED
WESTERN UNION WINS CASE
WHICH HAS BEEN IN COURT
FOURTEEN YEARS.
(By Publishers Press.)

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6.-After having
been in the courts fourteen years.
judgment was rendered Wednesday
by the United States Court of Appeals
in proceedings brought by the govern
ment to oust the Western Union Tele-
graph Company from the ownership
in the telegraph lines of the Northern
Pacific Railway system. The court
sustained the Western Union by dis
missing the bill .-a technicality but
without passing on the merits of the
case. The ground for dismissal is
that the Western Union Company, be-
ing New York corporation, cannot be
sued in Minnesota without it's con-

as they are done drain every particle
of water from the saucepan; dust the
DOtatOeS with salt and shake them
over the fire in an uncovered vessel,
until they are perfectly dry. Turn
them into vegetable dish and serve
at once; do not cover the dish.
To boil pared potatoes take OFF the
very thinnest skin; put the potatoes
at once into very cold water; throw
them into a kettle of boiling water anu
boil until they can be pierced to the
center with fork; drain perfectly dry,
salt: shake over the fire until the po-
tatOes are glossy and as white as
snowballs turn into heated dish
and serve at once.
All starchy foods should be allowed
TO dry in uncovered vessels and be
served in hot uncovered dishes.
1t may not be amiss to say word
about the mashing of boiled potatoes.
AS soon as the potatoes are dry, tney
should be put through an ordinary
vegetable press, and sufficiently hot
milk added to make them moist but
not pasty; stand the pot or bowl over
the fire and beat the potatoes until
they are white and light; heap them
at once i'm an uncovered heated dish
and send to the table; do not pat them
down and do not add butter to them
either before or after the beating.
The Florida agriculturist., 1905-12-27
To Make a Cake.

If the cake is to be a butter cake
arrange the oven so that it will be In
good condition but rather moderate.
Cakes without butter require QUICK
ovens with the exception of angefs
food and sunshine cake. First read
the recipe and collect all the ingredl-
ents; measure the sugar; measure and
sift the flour; add baking powder
and sift it again; separate the eggs;
get pans: grease them or line them
with paper. Beat the butter to a
cream: add the sugar gradually ana
beat until light; add the yolks of the
eggs and beat again, and if the re
cipe calls for water or milk add 1t
slowly and alternately with the flour.
When you have used the last of both
beat the cake for three minutes; then
beat the whites of the eggs; fold them
into the batter carefully, and turn the
cake into the pan or pans and put at
once into the oven. Make sure that
you understand the oven; do not
open the door nor move the cakes
for at least ten minutes; peep into the
oven to make sure that they are bak-
ing nicely. and close the door quietly.
If the oven is too hot the cakes brown
before they are light and the result
is that when you cool the oven down
they crack in the center. Butter cakes
must be baked slowly, while sponge
cakes. Iady-fingers and such cakes
! should always be baked quickly.

How to Cook the Very Simple
Things.

1t is. as general rule, the simplest
things that are least commonly done
well. From the very fact that things
are easily done we frequently neglect
the details to make them perfect.
To cook a steak one must have a
general knowledge of the condition of
the meat, and must know exactly the
time at which it is to be served. If
it is to be done under a gas stove the
brOiler must be thoroughly heated; if
over coal fire the gas must be
thoroughly burned from the Goals;
charcoal is. perhaps, the best of all.
When the Goals are red and free from
smoke they are in good condition to
produce a perfectly cooked steak, but
not otherwise.
The Florida agriculturist., 1905-12-27
How to Boil a Potato.

1t requires more knowledge to serve
vegetable in good condition than it
does to broil a steak. In fact, the
boiling and baking of potatoes seem to
be lost arts. First of all, select pOta-
toes of an equal size. scrub them
thoroughly, and if they are to be
boiled in their jackets throw them in
to cold water for ten minutes, then
put them into a kettle of actually boil
ing water. and boil them, not rapidly
until you can easily pierce them to
the center with fork. Medium-sized
POTATOES should not be tested before
twenty minutes; it usually requires
about half an hour to cook them, and
constant trying spoils them. AS soon
