Telephones on Railroad Trains.

Truly, this is fast becoming an
electrical age and almost every day
the all powerful but invisible cur
rent ia put 10 some new use. A
person does not have to be very old
to remember when it was first dem.
onstratcd that, by the aid Of clcc
tricity, persons situated several
miles apart could freely converse
with each other and their voices
could be easily recognized. Gradu
ally has the telephone system been
improved until now it has seeming
ly reached the stage of perfection
and one thinks no more of talking
over the phone with a friend who
is hundreds of miles away than if
the friend lived in the adjoining
block.
In large cities and even in towns
the size of Montpelier telephones
have come to be considered an alb
solute necessity, and we would not
do without them for two or three
times their cost.
Not only in the busy, bustling
cities are the telephones brought in
to constant nse, but in the manage
ment of our great railroad systems
they also now play an important
part. On all of the big roads tele-
phones are now to be seen at blind
sidings and at flag stations where
telegraph operators are not retained.
Thus are train crews enabled, in
cases OF accidents or collisions at or
near these points, to get in quick
communication with the train dis
Uatcher at the nearest division point.
But not satisfied with this step
forward in the management of their
train service, the railroad companies
are now having their passenger
trains and cabooses equipped with
phones so that no matter at what
point on the road a train may be-
come disabled, the conductor can
within a minute or two notify head
quarters.
The Oregon Short Line will soon
have every caboose on its system
equipped with a phone. The in
strument is attached to the side of
the car, and by the aid of rod
similar in appearance to bamboo
fish pole, connection can quickly be
made with the telegraph wire. The
ground connection is made by run
ning wire down and attaching il
to one of The car wheel journals.
Connection being made with the
telegraph wire, Il e conductor rings
up the dispatcher and tells him his
troubles.
All the cabooses on the First dis
trict are now fitted with these hella
instruments and within week every
caboose on the system will be
equipped with them.

ANTICIPATED COLLAPSE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated FTeSS.
PHILADELPHIA,O Oct. 16.-Much in
terest has been aroused as to the ma
ture Of the mysterious paper which
halted the Weightman $60,000.000 will
contest in the orphans court.
Edward Davis, the confidential Sec
retary Of the late William Weightman,
said today:
Before going into court yesterday
/ remarked to my WIFE The will con-
test will not last as long as some peo-
pie think; in fact it win end with my
own testimony If certain paper writ
ten by Mr.. Weightman, to which |
was the only witness is still in ak
istence and in the possession of Mrs.
Walker. This paper, II called for and
produced, will explain why Mr.. Weight
man made his daughter, Mrs. Walker,
his sole legatee in his viii OF 1895, and
so concusively satisfy the attorneys
of Mrs. Wister that no codicil exists
that they would most likely abandon
the case. This proved to be the re-
suit"
When asked what was written on
the paper Mr. Davis said:
''Having served Mr.. Weightman for
more than twenty-five years / should
see no reason why / should violate
his confidence because he is dead"
The attorneys would not discuss the
case today.

LEADVILLE, Colo. Oct, 1.-two
armed men boarded the engine of Den
yer & Rio Grande passenger train No.
5 at Malta tonight and at the point of
revolvers compelled the engineer 'and
fireman to uncouple the express and
baggage cars.
They then forced the engineer to
pull the cars several miles up the road.
When the train stopped the bandits
went to the express car and covering
the messenger with their weapons at
tempted to blow open the safe. They
succeeded in securing only about $50.
The second section of No. was three
hours late leaving Salida. 1t was ir
charge of Conductor Conway and En-
gineer Campbell
When the train reached Leadville
Junction two masked men climbed over
the tender and covering the enginemer
with revolvers ordered them to stor
the train.
One of the bandits marched the fire
man to the express car, which he. or
dere6 uncoupled.
This was done so quickly that th,
rest OF the train crew were not aware
OF what had happened.
The fireman and the bandit ther
leaped aboard the car and pulled UP the
track. -
When passing Kildare siding the con-
ductor of waiting freight train no
ticed the flying train and suspecting
something wrong notified the local
agent.
Meantime the engine and express car
sped UP the track for about two miles
1t was halted and the robbers forcing
the engihemen to walk in front of them
ordered the express messenger to open
the door, threatening him with death.
One OF the robbers attempted to dyna-
mite the safe but the job was a bung-
ling one, and it is stated that all the
money secured was about $50 in loose
packages

Sheriff O'Mahoney is In pursuit of the
bandits, whose description tallies with
that of the two men who blew open a
safe at White Sulphur Springs in Sum

4 There are $50, ,040 shares of stock, rep
lresenting o capitalization of $95, 100000,
entitled TO vote at this meeting.
The side which controls 475,021 shares
will win.

riman controls only one-fifth of the
total shares of stock, but information
brought to Chicago yesterday was
that he has had the banking firm Of
Kuhn. Loeb & Co., working for and
with him for some time and every share
Of stock and proxy that could be
bought or borrowed has been secured

the Hartman plan would fail and the
meeting show a good majority of the
stockholders in favor of continuing the
present management.

with notice that suit had been brought
against the Illinois Central by the Illi-
nois State Audit company. This suit
was started last week in Justice Mar
tins court and the hearing is set for
II o'clock this morning.

e. H. Hartman John Jacob Astor and
Cornelius Vanderbilt who, it is under
stood, are on the train with Mr.. Harri-
man.

them.
