ANOTHER DELAY SECURED.
Railroad Companies Have Suits COntin-
 fan. MnnAh

Chicago, Aug. 15.-Attorneys for the eighteen railroad companies twice made defendants in suits filed in the United States Circuit Court by District At torney C. B. Morrison for the Interstate Commerce Commission, went before Judge Bethea today and succeeded in getting almost a months delay in final action in the Circuit Court.
 Tn April a bill for injunction was filed. based on a decision of the com mission. Subsequently a similar bill was filed similar allegations. but in connection with others alleged rate Owing to similarity in the two suits, the railroad corporations asked that pleas to the previous suit be finally decided on September 15, and that one answer suffice for both.

ment to the advantage of the strikers. Shea lived like a lord while the men he kent out of the positions almost starved So gross was his misconduct that the members of the executive board of the brotherhood were forced to step in and interfere, taking charge of the strike themselves.
 The country will look to the Chicago authorities to see that Shea is punish case ia already in the courts. but 1t ap- pears that he has no apprehensions of punishment. He probably believes that, now that the strike Is over, the ciates wifi be dropped. If this is done 1t will only deepen the disgrace that Chicago is forced to bear because of the outlawry which characterized its most recent labor disturban

It is said that the Connicticut Legis- lator. which recently adjourned bought 9Ss fountain pens and 2,6S2 knives for 290 members, at a cost es- timated at more than $15.00o. The same Legislature passed a law against "cor- rupt practices" Surely some of tho families which furnished the carpet bag legislators of reconstruction times must have been represented in that Legislature.

THE FERROUS DESERT
Men Wandering Around Crazed by
 an Awful Thirst.

Men are wandering over the desert Harrington came to town yesterday morning and informed the authorities Of two men whom he had seen near the crossing of the old Mcdowell and the Camp Creek roads the day before. He was attracted by their peculiar ac- tons and having watched them for some time he decided that they were locOed and were borrowing in the sand for water. As he approached them one in the brush. MT. Harrington found the other man almost crazy for want of water Mir. Harrington relieved him from his canteen and brought him around so that he could travel. He gave him directions where to go and having looked around for short time for the other man without seeing any thing more of him, he came on to Phoenix. In his opinion the other man is beyond relief.
 William Black came in yesterday morning from his mining camp a few miles from Wickenburg. He said that q day or two ago a stranger came to his camp early in the morning. He had been drinking heavily and was horribly nervous. He was so nearly gone for lack of water that at first he was unable to talk. Later having drunk cautiously and having had his breakfast he said that he had been working on the A. & C. road and was

MIR. LAWSON'S "FORTY CENTS ON
 THE DOLLAR"

Thomas W. Lawson is appealing to all policy holders in the three great life insurance companies of New York City to rally around him while he makes war on the system" One of his great aims, as he sets it forth, is: "The reduction of future premium payments to 40 cents on the dollar of what you now pay.
 It is to be hoped that no policy holder will so much as send his name prOvisiOnauy to MT. Lawson before he looks into this question of the "40 cents on the dollar" The information he needs is available in any book or encyclopedia article on life insurance.
 The policy-hOlder will learn that life insurance is not a charity or a gam ble. but a business based on mathe- matics and cold statistics.
 He will learn that mortality tables are in existence which show the prob abilities of death of men at each age, based on the actual experience gath cred in the insurance business.
 He will learn that the met prem ium" that must be paid for insurance is calculated directly from these ta- bIes; that this met premium is the amount that must be paid on the av- craze to meet death claims, entirely without regard to expenses of con ducting the business. and if these net premiums are not saved up, penny for

Narrow Escape of s. P. EastbOund Passenger at Gila City Friday Night.

Four cars were burned on the sid ing at Gila City night before last and the flames were almost communicated to the west bound passenger. The fire burst out in an instant. Walter T. Gregory. who was on his way from Yuma to Phoenix. was standing on 9 platform when the train passed the cars on the siding. There were twen- ty of them, all belonging to a work train. MT. Gregory noticed the train but saw no sign of fire. Before the passenger train had got wholly past the work train the passengers were shaken from the seats by the sudden application of the air brakes. Crowd ing the platforms to see what was the matter it seemed to them as if the en- tire work train and the Pullmans Of the passenger trains were on fire. The engineer for some reason reversed his engine when the conductor signaled him to go ahead, out of danger. Then the engine was detached from the pas senger and run on the east end of the siding and hooked to the cars of the work train not yet on fire.
 The conductor uncoupled them from the burning cars and in doing so was badly scorched by the heat. Several Mexicans with their families were liv- ing in some of the cars of the work train and it is thought that fire broke out in one of these living cars. But the suddenness of the outbreak is in applicable.
 If the passenger train had been a second or two later the Outburst of flames would have caught it midway and great damage if not loss of life would have resulted. No time was taken to ascertain the extent of the damage but several sheds in the vicin- ity were seen to be on fire. The track of the siding was also burning and it was thought that it would spread to the mainline track But it evidently did not for the second section of the passenger train passed the place two hours later.

going across the country toward Yuma He fingered about the camp for a short time and then started on his journey. MT. Black said that the chances were many to one that he would never again be seen alive.
 The other night when Deputy Sher- if Cunningham was on his way to Goldfield he came late at night on two men camped by the roadside. They asked for water They said they had took with them only what water they could carry in five pound lard pail. They had long since drunk all of that and were now very thirsty and felt too weak to travel MT. Cunningham gave them what they could drink and allowed them to fill their bucket. They resumed their journey. If they had waited until morning and then set out in the broiling sun without water they would have reached nowhere.
 A good many inexperienced travel CTS of the desert have misunderstood the roseate reports brought in by cow men and others of the condition of the country. It is carelessly stated that there is feed and water everywhere" That is true within the cowman's meaning. which is that there is wa,er everywhere that any ever existed be- fore. that is in all springs and water holes. But at best for a man on foot these water stations are far apart and even though they might be near the inexperienced traveller would not know where to find them.

penny for exclusive use in paying death losses, the company is bound straight for bankruptcy.
 He will learn that to cover the eX- penses of the business these met premiums" are loaded" by adding a percentage of their amount. The net premium, plus the load, gives the gross premium which he pays for this pol icy.
 Finally he will learn that the load ing rarely. if ever, exceeds 40 per cent. even in the classes of policies that must pay the highest rate. The New International Encyclopedia says in summing up the pertinent facts: "Of the gross premiums, therefore. from Is 2-3 to 30 per cent is loading"
 Now, if the current premium rates in this country are loaded only to the extent of 30 per cent so that on the av- craze at least 70 per cent of the prem ium money must be set aside to meet losses, how can any man honestly pro pose a scheme which will reduce premiums to 40 per cent of their pres ent size? Is not such q proposal de- Hberate bid for bankruptcy?
 Whatever opinion people may hold of MT. Lawson in his role of a voice crying in the wilderness they should judge him in this case on Q basis of in contestable figures and act according ly.-ChicagO Record Herald.
