Superstition Of Engineer.

Engine drivers as a rule are prob.
ably no more superstitious than any
other class. There are many curious
beliefs among them, however, some
of long standing. A superstitious en-
CINE driver or stoker, for example,
will never trust an engine that has
been in an accident as he would
another engine, 1t may be the finest
machinery, but he will never feel
quite as easy about her after she has
been in any accident, more particul-
arly II she started her working career
with a bad record, having met a mis-.
hap on her trial run.
One should never step INTO the en-
CINE with the right foot first. Equal
ly serious would be the consequences
OF climbing out on the right side In
order to oil the engine. Such a mis-
take would certainly result in an ac-
cident sooner or later. There are act
ual cases of accidents following mis-
takes of this sort, drivers and stokers
having slipped and met with serious
Injuries, for the right side of the en-
CINE is generally the side on which

EARLY MARRIAGES.


Lots - Yo1n8 Welded Couples Don't
0tarve to Death.
We are used to look grave when a
young man takes a wife unto himself
with what Gems to us to be undue
precipitation, and II presently we see a
young family growing punctually up
around him maybe we wag u heads
a bit and say it was a pity that young
Buxton did not wait until he had got a
round or two farther up the ladder.
We sA., we don't like TO see a likely
young fellow ~Overwcighted at the
start, and We know OF men Of promise
who incurred domestic blessings so
early in life. and In such numbers that
all their lives they never did better
than to stagger on under their load
WI say they never had a chance to get
where they belonged, and we fear 1t Is
going to be so with that young Bux-
| ton.
But il Buxton has got his start aud
demure young Lucy seems to have
| some hard sense aud due constancy In
whatever disguise under her ribbons
and muslins, let us not croak unduiy
nor forecast a lot Of bogy troubles that
are not actually In sight. Keeping
body and soul together Is not quite so
desperately complicated a task as some
| OF us have grown to think Of. Lots Of

Alarmed at the agitation In favor
OF government control OF rates, the
railroad interests have embarked up.
On n campaign Of education, which Is
national In scope. and which will
cost them a very large sum annually.
The educational work, as they are
pleased to call II, will be conducted
through the medium OF two large
bureaus In New York and Chicago.
which may have branch organizations,
The New York and Chicago bureaus
have become established, their agents
are touring the country In search OF
information regarding conditions, and
they are already engaged In sending
forth tons Of literature and In pre-
pairing more.
The work of the bureau will be ac-
complished largely through the EN-.
plOyment of active newspaper men.
II Is the purpose to send such men
into every state In the union, and
keep them travelling and talking with
everyone who comes in contact with
railroads. This will be done with
a view to ascertaining, 1t Is ex
planned, what, If anything, is wrong In
the relations between the railroads
and the public. Incidentally they
are presumed to assure the people
that any abuses shown to exist will
be corrected. They are expected also
to report at the general offices in New
York and In Chicago, and upon their
reports literature will be prepared
and disseminated with a view to cor
recting alleged public m~isconception.
For example, a small pamphlet has
been prepared and, Mr.. Thompson
declared, will be placed in the hands
of every voter in the United States.
This pamphlet is entitled, What are
the facts about American railroads."
Beneath the caption is the inquiry:
Can spurious agitation dislodge this
keynote?" The keystone to which ref
erence IS made is depicted upon the
front page, and is labeled, Lowest
railroad rates in the world" The
arch to this keystone is made up of
agriculture and manufactures.
Large appropriations are to be made
for display advertising in the news

Are Burning Gumoo.

Caney, Kan, May 30,--Five miles
south of Caney the Santa Fe has es-
tablished a gumbo kiln to make
ballast. A circular kiln. about a mile
in length, is burning. Odd ties and
slack coal are used. owe which the
gumbo dirt Is piled. The smouldering
fire bakes the dirt until 1t Is a dull
brick color and crumbles small
enough to spread along the track. A
switch engine Is used to handle tie
materials, about seventy cars OF old
ties being on the sidings, and II IS a
busy place. Experiments have shown
gumbo ballast to be a cheap md ey'
cellent device. 1t is lighter than
crushed rock and cheaper, When
put in place II absorbs water and
moisture and keeps the grade and ties
in better shape. The Chicago. Mil
waukee & ST. Paul road uses a great
deal of it. The greatest difficulty
seems to be in scarcity Of earth Of the
peculiar quality necessary for the pur-
pose. The owen quarry seems to be
of considerable extent.
After having been in court two
wears, final arguments in a suit OF the
Rock Island railroad company against
the Wabash over r~ight-of-way priv.
ileges on the tracks of the latter COM
PAW from Forsythe junction to Union
station we're begun in the United
States Circuit court yesterday.
The suit is in the nature os on
tempt proceedings, the Rock Island
having made application to compel
the Wabash company to comply with
the provisions Of a decree Of the
court. granting track privileges to the
Colorado line. This decree, made
several years ago. fixed the compansa-
tion to be paid for the use Of The
tracks. The Rock Island complains
that the Wabash denies it the fall
terminal accommodations to whicn 1t
is entitled under the decree.
