JOIN FRAWLEY,s STORY.
The Lady. the Cigarette and the Buffet
Smoking Car.

John Frawley, of the Union Pacific
passenger department, vouches for this
story. He says it happened on a train
he was on en- route to California in a
library buffet smoking car of the
Union Pacific system. Here is the
story just as it comes from Mr.. Fraw-
ley:
"A woman perfectly dressed, entered
the aforesaid car. bound for California
the other morning. The gentlemen in
the car supposed she intended to pass
through. Half way down the aisle she
dropped into one of the handsome cane
seated chairs. A gentleman who Oc-
cupied the seat behind her leaned for
ward and touched her on the shoulder.
L beg your pardon he said, but this
car is for the accommodation of smok-
ers only Thank you she said. I
thought So Then she calmly pro
duced a dainty cigarette case and a
box Of wax matches. and in moment
more was smoking with all the calm
enjoyment of a man. There was
hutter of amusement through the car;
smiles, grins. soto voce remarks, and
curious glances in her direction. but
she was so serenely unconscious of
Il all, and so thoroughly self possessed
that it was soon forgotten for the
morning papers and magazines. which
she monoponzed, just the same as the
gentlemen smokers.
The train conductor entered the
car, and not noticing that the lady
held a cigarette between her fingers,
said, Madam. this is no place for
ladies' Indeed she replied, is this
not the library buffet smoker for the
accommodation of passengers of this
train? Yes, madam. Well, 1 am
smoking; that is why I am here
She also took advantage of the
writing material, and wrote several
letters before leaving the car.

MAY OPEN UP COAL LANDS.
santa Fe Officials Looking Over tn
Utah Fields.

Albuquerque, n. M, March IA.
C. Wells, general manager of the Santa
Fe coast lines, 1. L. Hubbard, general
superintendent, John Denair, division
superintendent, and one of the engi-
neers from the general Office made
trip last week over the Western Rail-
way of Arizona, the branch which
leaves the Santa Fe near Kingman. It
is understood the trip was for the pur-
pose of ascertaining how much bush
ness the road was capable of doing and
the necessity of repairs. Again, 1t is
said that it is the intention of the Santa
Fe to extend the road into Utah with
the object OF connecting with the Den
yer & Rio Grande as a competing line
against the Clark road. If this con-
nection is made it would open up the
great coal fields of southern Utah and
create a large freight tonnage for the
road. The immense salt mines on the
Virgin and Muddy would also come
into the market.

SIGNAL MAN COURAGEOUS.
Drags Bruised and Battered Body to
Post and Stops Trains.

Norristown, N J., March 14.-The
thought of danger to the trains yes
terday inspired James Scales, the
signal operator at the Denville tower
OF the Lackawanna railroad, to drag
his badly bruised body up the stairway
and into the tower from which he had
just accidentally fallen. He was ter
rlbly bruised but managed to reach his
post and set the signals against all
trains, hundreds of which pass this
point daily.
After setting the signals Scales sue
ceeded in reaching his home near by.
The conductor of the first train passing
ran up into the tower and found the
floor covered with blood and a bloody
trail leading down the road. He sus-
pected foul play and informed the
company's detectives who found Scales
at his home suffering greatly from in
ternal injuries and bruises.
