The result would have been the
same had any other of our through
trains encountered this open switch.
'W. c. BROWN"
Attributed to Malice.
Chicago, June &c. r. DAILY. gen
eral passenger traffic manager of the
Lake Shore road. made the following
statement early today:
From the best information that we
nave been able to secure we are Of the
opinion that the disaster must have re-
suited from some one tampering with
the switch. The evidence seems to
point to deliberate, malicious attempt
70 derall the train. 1t seems hard to
believe any person could be guilty of
such a fearful crime but we are forced
to this opinion by the evidence
When asked if the accident would
lead to the abandonment of the Is hour
schedule between Chicago and New
York, Mr.. Daily denied that any such
result would follow,
we do not believe that the rate of
speed is a factor to be considered in
the accident of last night. If we were
to think the speed responsible for the
accident, and should seek to eliminate
all possibility of such catastrophes
we would have to reduce the running
time Of trains to fifteen or twenty
miles an hour. This the public would
not tolerate"

RAILROAD NEWS.
Promotions in Mechanical De-
partment of Santa Fe Pending.
Officials Are Now Travelling in a
Special Train.
MAY STAY
Promotion of N. F. Risteen Nay
Make Better Place for Him.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.
MAY STAY

The high officials of the operating
and mechanical departments of the
Santa Fe are on a trip over the lines
of the Santa Fe in a special train.
The party included Third Vice-Presi-
dent J. W. Kendrick, General Man
ager J. E. Hurley, Superintendent of
Motive Power Alfred Lowell. Mechanl-
cal Superintendent n. F. Risteen, Sup
erintendent OF Topeka. shops John Pur-
cell and Chief Engineer w. B. Storey,
together with division superintendent.
1t is generally believed that this
trip of the officials has a far greater
significance than for inspection of
properties only.
It will be remembered that when
w. r. Henderson. who was superin-
tendent of motive power of the Santa
F'e, resigned, it was fully year before
the vacancy was filled. Alfred Lowell
who was assistant superintendent Of
motive power was then promoted 70
the place. Since that promotion about
four months ago, the office of assist
ant superintendent of motive power
has been vacant.
It is now believed that N. F. Risteen,
who is mechanical superintendent of
the eastern grand division, and who
is in line for this promotion, will be
made assistant superintendent of mo-
tive power.
That move will make place for the
promotion of John Purcell from super
intendent of the Topeka shops to be
mechanical superintendent.
It is known that Mr.. Purcell has had
an offer of a much better position on
the Missouri Pacific railway than he
has on the Santa Fe, and it is also
said he has had an offer from the Rock
Island. It is stated that Mr. Purcell
has declined the offer of the Missouri
Pacific, on account of the anticipated
promotions as outlined above.

CONEY MEANS BUSINESS.
He Orders a Clean Up in the G. A. II.
Headquarters.

Captain P. H. Coney. the new de-
partment commander OF the G. A. R.,
has started in to reform things around
his Office at the state house. He has
issued a list of rules for his office as
sistants, and proposes to have things
cleaned up and business handled in a
more businesslike manner than in the
past.
1t must be admitted that the G. A.
r. headquarters at the state house
have always looked as though they
needed a general overhauling. Things
have been allowed to accumulate and
there is surplus of old broken down
furniture, books and pamphlets.
Commander Coney has instructed
his deputies to clean up the old lum-
Der, dispose of certain useless articles
of furniture. and obtain new book
cases for the accomm odation of sur
plus books. The new rules also re-
quire the office fierce to be courteous
and attentive to the wants of visitors,
and to keep their accounts up to date.

TO CHANGE CHEERING SYSTEM.
Collectors on Wabash Passenger
Trains to BE Dispensed With.

An order has been issued by w. w
Sleater, superintendent of collectors of the
Wabash railroad, reducing his force by $50
collectors The action, it was said is a
portion of plan to change the scheme of
checking cash fares.
At the same time, it was stated, notice
from the general offices raising conduc-
tors salaries on passenger trains by SIS d
month, went into effect
The adjustment of the passenger col
lecting system means radical change for
the Wabash, it having been in effect for
long time. It will also result in a con-
siderable saving, the collectors receiving
on an average of $50 per month, in addi-
ton to money for expenses
. The wabash was one of the first roads
to install the collector system. Other west
ern roads followed the lead, with varying
success, and some have abolished it,while
with others it is still maintained

NEW CARRIERS ARE NAMED.
Five Who Have Been Added to the
Local Force.

The postofice department, upon the
request of Postmaster Guthrie, has
granted Topeka five more carriers. The
following were appointed:
Samuel Ferguson, Arthur Weybrew,
F. J. Palmer, E. P. Daniels and Theo-
dore Blank. They begin work on
July L
carriers will be of benefit to certain
parts of the city. Near the Santa Fe
shops are about 800 homes which have
been receiving one delivery each day
These people will probably hereafter
receive a daily double delivery. The
exact assignment of the men has not
yet been determined upon.
The Topeka postoffice has now 81
carriers. Postmaster Guthrie thinks
that at least four more ought to be
appointed to make the service entire
ly efficient.

The answer Of the Missouri Pacific rail-
way in the case brought by the Hocka-
day Hardware company Of Wichita before
the board of railroad commissioners was
filed today. The Missouri Pacific sets up
the old defense that it is outside of the
jurisdiction of the board. as its line passes
through a part Of Missouri in going from
Wichita to Atchison. 1t also goes into
some detail to prove that the rates as they
now exist are the product of competitive
exigencies and can not be changed with
out great injustice. The Hockadav com
pany alleges that it is being Disseminated
against on certain classes of goods.

1t was in 1866, a year after the close
of the civil war, that John V. Meeker,
a resident of Puyallup, Wash, con-
ceived the idea that the Pacific coast
would be a good region for growing
hops, and experimental by planting
half aa acre on his farm. The expert
ment proved a s.ccess, and from his
half acre Mr.. Meek 4 ~pcured 1856
pounds of baby hops, wA.ch were
