Stop Train to Save Dogs Life.

Denver, Sept. 14.-"Griffon," the
dog presented to Mrs. Thomas C.
Plstt by King Oscar OF Sweden,
came near losing its life yesterday
and has not fully recovered. A
special train on which David 81. Moi
fatt took Senator Platt's party over
the new "Moffatt" road, was stop
ped twice to prevent the dog from
being killed by the altitude.
When about hall way up Rollins
Pass the canine began to show
symptoms OF distress. Mrs. Plat
was much alarmed, but did not
know what was wrong until Mr.. Moi.
iatt informed her that dogs and
horses were sensitive to rsrefled
atmosphere.
At Yankee Doodle lake the dog
was almost dead. The train was
stopped and Griffon taken quarter
OF a mile down the mountain. In
about half an hour the locomotive
started again, but had to stop at
Jenny lake where the dog again re
vived.
Ii was much better when the party
returned to Denver, and physicians
say he will live.

HUMMEL RESTS CASE.
He Offers No Evidence in Defense in
Conspiracy Case.

New York. December 20-Abraham
Humnel. the lawyer who for several
days has been on trial in the supreme
court on a charge of conspiracy in
connection with the Dodge-Morse di-
vorce litigation, has elected to allow
his case to go to the jury solely on the
evidence submitted by his accusers.
The prosecution finished its case yes
terday and when the trial was resumed
today counsel for Hummel announced
that they were prepared to rest their
case. They did not desire to offer any
evidence in defense. HummePs coun-
sci commended that the jury should not
believe the. testimony of Charles F.
Dodge, building their argument for the
defendant around this point. Dodge
was the first husband of Mrs. c. W
Morse. He testified yesterday that
Hummel gave him several thousand
dollars and that he perjured himself
in giving testimony to prove Illegal his
original divorce from Mrs. Morse.

MY client was the victim Of com
bination," said Charles Bush. counsel
for Kresky, in discussing the case. THE
public may not know, perhaps, that il is
impossible to get an export rate quoted
to you at any point in Kansas. There
is practically no competition between
the railroads concerned in that territory.
They are the Santa F'e. the Rock Island
and the Missouri Pacific. We shall try
to prove, in Mr.. Kresky's case, that these
roads have entered into an agreement
not to quote an export rate from Kansas
points.
"The Kansas mi1ers can't sell -four as
cheaply as the Kansas City millers, for
export, because, unless they resort to
some plan of evasion, they must pay the
billed here to get the benefit of the ex-
port rate. The existence Of this cOndi-
ton made Mr.. Kresky a necessity. He
represented eighteen or twenty millers
in Kansas. He shipped their -four to
Kansas City with privilege Of rebilling
here. He has the cars set at the Zenith
mills because they were on the Chicago
& Alton tracks and he used that road
to the east. The rate quoted into KAN
sas was the full published tariff. When
the Rock Island people learned what
Kresl1y was doing-that he was shipping
flour here, presumably for local points
about it. We shall have something to
say about the Rock Island. the Santa Fe
and the Missouri Pacific when Kresky

THE LAST STRAW.
Southern Indiana Railway Is What
Wrought Walsh's Ruin.

Southern Indiana Railway Is What
Wrought Walsh's Ruin.
Chicago, Dec 2O.-The Southern Indiana
Railway company an enterprise in which
John R Walsh is said to have sunk be-
tween $4,000. 600 and SIS, 600, OOO is general
~ accredited with being the straw which
broke the camePs back and caused the
failure of the three financial institutions
This railway venture has no parallel in
railroad history, and its story IS al tne
more strange because of the fact that

opportunity to get TINS Wflte elepIi4Ill OIL

imbursed him for all that he mad put INTO
the property. The offer came from the
New York Central lines interest, which at
that time desired route over Whlch 70

Walsh spurned the offer; in fact, refused
to carry on negotiations, ana ms opPOI77
tunity was lost. The New York Central
lines people then secured the Indiana
Harbor road, which has just been COM
pIeted from DanvilIe to Chicago, and
which parallels the Southern Indiana Ior
many miles.
The Eastern Illinois is also said to
have offered to take the property on MT
Walsh's hands to prevent parallel Inc
from the southern coal fields reaching
Chicago. Now that failure has come 70
the Walsh ranks. it is stated that the
New York Central and the Eastern Hi
nois interests jointly are still willing 70
assume ownership of the property, with
a view to preventing its entry into chi
ago, and thereby dividing with them the
coal tFafLTc from the SOuLnGIn uGtuS
John r. Walsh's failure in the railroad
venture was due largely to the fact that
single handed and alone he tried to con-
struct nearly 200 miles of railroad. He
made no effort to interest with himself
those who could give his road tonnage,
but, on the contrary. he quarreled with
all of his railway connections and fought
the battle alone against odds that no
man could overcome
The Southern Indiana grew out Of the
old Evansville and Richmond. which was
built in 1897 from Elnora, In Daviess
county, Ind, to WestpOrt, in Decatur
county. The road was one OF d. J. Mack
ey's subsidy schemes
About this time Breyfogle and w. T.
Winscauley of Bedford owned the stone
quarries at the latter place At that time
Mr.. Walsh was president Of the Chicago
title and trust company, which loaned
Breyfogle and Winscauley between $500
900 and $500. 600 on the property Later the
mortgage was fOreclosed, and In this way
Mr.. Walsh became the owner of the Bed

an outlet for the output of the quarries-
and, with view to obtaining it, he built

IMPROVEMENTS on THE ERIE.
Millions Going to Betterments O
Track and Service Recently.


Track and Service Recently.
The American Locomotive company
will deliver soon to the Erie railroad
the sixteen new passenger engines of
what is known as the -251O tyOe, the
largest locomotives ever built ex-
ClusiVely for passenger service. This
will complete the delivery of the 159
locomotives ordered for the Erie sys-
tenn for the present year. With the
other rolling stock, box cars. refrig-
orator cars, gOndOlas and other equip
ment that was absolutely imperative
for delivery before winter sets in. the
Erie will have expended fifteen mill
lion dollars for locomotives and rolling
stock orders for which were placed
within the past twelve months This
will give the road a better working
equipment than it has ever had in its
existence.
Something like eighteen million dol
lars has been appropriated and is now
in course of expenditure in other inn
prOvements, which will put the Erie
in as good physical condition as any
railroad in the world. OF this amount
ten million dollars will be required for
what is known as the Erie & Jersey
railroad, which gives a freight track
at a very low grade all the way be-
tween New York and Port Jervis-
Work has already been begun on the
mile long tunnel under Guymard
hill between Adiddletown and Port
-
some three months ago.
Four million dollars more will be
required to construct the GeneSee VAL
lev railroad. which viii give a prac-
ucally sea level line between Cuba
and Portage in the western part of
New York state, thus avoiding in its
freight traffic two of the worst grades
on the line between Hornellsville and
Cuba.
A further sum of a million and q
half will be required to construct the
Columbus and Erie road which not
only double tracks the main line be-
tween Columbus, Pa, and jamestown,
n. Y, but gives to the road one per
cent grade, abOliShing two very heavy
grades in that vicinity
For machines shops. round houses,
machinery and the equipment of the
repair shops and tool houses, one mil
lion and a. half is now being expended,
and the greater part of the work is
now completed.
A round million has been expended
this year in the erection of new
bridges and the reconstruction and re-
building of old ones. Two hundred
thousand dollars is to be expended
imme diately in increasing the facili-
ties of the transfer houses and other
equipment of the terminal yards at
Marion, o., and Hammond. Ind
The installation Of the new auto
matte signals on the New York di-
vision, the facts as to which have re-
Gently been published, will require
the immediate expenditure of at least
1925, 900.
orders have just been placed with
the Pressed Steel Car company and
1900 elf-cleaning ho~-o~ gondolas
to care for the steadily increasing coal
traffic. Delivery of these cars will be-
gin in January or February, next.

CUBA AS A WINTER RESORT.
Three Railroads Are Exploiting At
fractions of Island.

IfacElOIS OF 4SlaUu.
Chicago, Dec 20.-Cuba bids fair to
come to the front this winter as d
strong rival for the various winter re-
sorts. Three railroads are vieing with
one another in exploiting the attractions
of the young island republic, and they
will soon establish Cuban service, which
viii be sufficient to draw much first
class travel from St. Louis and Chicago
to the island and back every week. The
rivalry is becoming intense, and by early
January there will be two weekly trains
and a daily train between Chicago, st.
Louis and three of the gulf ports.
The first service will be esta blished on
December Is, when the Illinois Central
will place in weekly service a train to
be known as the Cuban Special. which
will run to New Orleans on fast schedule
and will there connect with a palatial
steamer for Cuba A large delegation Of
school teachers are going to enjoy the
first trip.
On January the Alton, in connection
with the Mobile and Ohio will establish
a weekly service from St. Louis and Chi
cago through Mobile. On about the
san e dlte TIE Eastern Illinois in con-
nection with the Louisville and Nash
vile. Central of Georgia and other roads,
will esta blish daily service between
Chicago and the ports of Tampa and
Miami. from which there will be daily
saiIings to Cuba. The Mobile and Ohio
service will provide a fourteen-hOur
schedule between St. Louis and Mobile,
in connection with a fast modern
steamer for Havana. The train equip
ment is specially built for the service.

measure was incorporated in the canal
bill as section -, taking the place OF the

that warn you of any derange-
ment Of your system. When
the brain nerves become ex-
hausted or irritated, Headache
makes you miserable; if the
stomach nerves are weak, in
digestion results, and you
double up with pain, and if the
more prominent nerves are af-
fected, Neuralgia simply makes
life uncomfortable. The way to
stop pain IS to soothe and

WILL BE GOOD IN FUTURE.
Western Railroads Agree to Obey In
terstate and Rebate Laws.

Chicago, Dec. 20-Executive officials
of all the western railroads at meet
ing here yesterday entered into an
agreement with view to compelling a
strict adherence to the provisions of the
interstate commerce and EIkins laws.
Each road bound itself to inform the
interstate commerce commission of any
illegal acts on the part Of any other
road. In order to keep in close touch
with the situation, it was agreed that
the roads should appoint a committee
to represent the various western freight
associations and to canvass the situa-
ton from time to time and report Vio-
lations of the law. It will be the duty
of this committee to furnish evidence in
the event of an investigation. It was
the general opinion at the meeting that
since the law had abrogated the peni-
tertiary clause and substituted fine
against railroads violating the law
railroad men should no longer feel any
delicacy in giving information regard
ing infractions of the law.
Through today's action it is expected
to stop the payments of rebates and al
devices for giving preference to ship

From Going on III Fated Trip.
Mrs. H. c. Davis, the widow of the San
ia Fe engineer who was killed in the
wreck at Lang yesterday. had a premo-
milton on Monday that a disaster of some
sort was hanging over her husband s
head.
It was Mr. Davis custom to leave his
house about 10 o'clock in the evening in
order to get his engine in readiness to
pick UP No. II at 1880 o'clock a. m. So
strong z. b, became MIS-. Davis feeling that
husband that she pleaded with him on
Monday evening to lay over that trip.
she told her husband that she felt sure
a disaster of some sort was impending.
She had never had such a feeling before
and for that reason she tried to prevail
on Mr.. Davis not to start out on his reg
ular trip. But Davis laughed away her
feelings of fear and started on his ill
fated Journey.

Guthrie, Ok, Dec. 20.-Persistent ru-
1nors have been afloat here lately to the
effect that the Denver, Enid and Gulf had
leo and Orient OFFICIALS of the road here
have denied the report, but admitted that
there was standing of $4,000 a mile
for the Denver Enid and Gulf as it now
stands, refusing, however, to give the
name of the wouId-be purchaser.
The price named is considered by rail-
road men to be a very good price for the
road but it is thought to be Peckham' $
intention to keep the proposition open as
long as he can, as every additional mile
which he builds means that much extra
profit, and if a Union Pacific connection
can be reached, the value of the rOse viii
be materially enhanced
The fact that the Orient trains are to be
run from Cherokee to Guthrie over the
Denver. Enid and Gulf indicates that the
relations between the two roads are very
friendly, but does not necessarily mean
that the Oklahoma line is to become a
part of the Stilweu system.

NUDGE DIES or injuries.
Late Santa Fe Yardmaster Not Re-
lated to Rock Island Executive.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Dec. 20.-F. T.
Nudge, who was yardrnaster for the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe at San
Marcial, died in the hospital here yes
terday as the result of a fracture of the
skull sustained by him on Thursday
last when he was beaten on the head
with a rock in the hands of a tramp.
This fellow, giving his name as John
Godeey, has been locked up in the
Socorro Jail and is charged with the
murder of Mr. Nudge. No motive for
the crime has been given. There is
reason to believe that Godeey had
been drinking heavily and that Nudge
requested him to leave the railroad
grounds. He retaliated by knocking
Nudge down and then pounding his
head in with a brick.
