"America" "......A All join in
Benediction ~ Rev. S. c. Davis
The address of the chief surgeon,
DR.. Raster. included brief history
of tn Sante Fe hospital association,
which in part was as follows:
The hospital association was first
organized in March, 1884, in response
to demand made by several hun
dred employees to provide for the
establishment of hospitals. The
board of directors donated $50, 600
for the construction of hospitals, and
the construction of two hospitals
was begun at once-one located at
Las Vegas. N. NJ, and the other at
La Junta. The hospital at La Junta
was opened for the reception of
patients in November, 1884 and cost
$2O, 600, all Of the money being
furnished by the railroad: company.
DR.: J. C. Lay was the first surgeon
in charge. On December II, 1884.

fire broke out and destroyed the en-
tire ward, ): the main building being
saved by the heroic effort of the
citizens of La Junta. DR.. George
W. Mel succeeded DR.. Lay in June,
1885, and DR.. Frank Finney assumed
charge in November. 1887. The
standard attained by DR.. Finney in
the old hospital Is so high. said DR..
Raster, that some times think that
he will have trouble, even with the
new building and better facilities, TO
RAISE the standard.
The growth of the hospital as
sociation has been phenomenal, the
number of patients rapidly increas-
ing, and total of 44,5OO employees
being furnished relief last year. At
the close OF DR.. Kaster's address a
copper box containing the history OF
the hospital association, the names OF
the members Of the board of trust
ees. the architect and builder, was
placed within the stone and sealed
and this concluded the ceremonies.

this point they learned that the telegraph wires had
Morgan and his were not far away. Here the
president declared that the trip must end it was, he
said nothing less than criminal folly to think of con-
tinuing In this opinion he supported by leading
citizens of Loveand, who positive that the line
between their town and Camp Dennison must have
been cut.
But the headstrong recruits, anxious to reach
camp and become real soldiers, would not hear of
delay; they gathered round the official, alternately
appealing and insulting. He accused of coward
ice, and tainted with being Rebel at heart. At
last in despair he decided to shift the responsibility
by passing it on to the engineer If Redmon cared
to make the trip, he had permission to do SO, but
the president would not order him to go to what
most probably would be his death. 1t was not
very pleasant position for the engineer; but he
accustomed take risks, and amid the cheers of the
recruits he gave the word for all to get aboard
Naturally courageous, and determined to the
end of the adventure the head of the railroad clam

journey resumed.
Four miles farther on at point appropriately
known Danger Crossing, they encountered the

John T. REDMON maintains stoutly that he is
> the only locomotive engineer, living or dead,
who engine upside down. He had
his reward; for he read his own obituary in the
newspapers and also discovered many things about
himself and his ancestors of which until that time
he had been unfortunately kept supremacy igno-
rant.
1t happened in times when Rednlon had the

began to number engines like convicts), and ran on
what was then the Little Miami railroad out of
Morrowtown, Ohio. On the morning of July a.
1868, he was at this place. forty miles east of Gin.
cinnati, with passenger train behind consisting of
baggage and five coaches filled with three hun
bred recruits who were to be conveyed to Camp
Dennison, twenty-siX miles west. 1t had been ar
ranged to start the train at six M but just before
that hour the president of the railroad, whose home
at Morrowtown received information that
General John H. Morgan and his band of Confederate
rough riders in the vicinity, which would make
the trip exceedingly perilous.
At first he declined to allow the train to proceed
but after heated arguments with the officer
who was in charge OF the new men he gave re-
luCtant consent.
All went well for the eighteen miles to Loveland

raiders. A voley of shots caused the engineer and
fireman to drop to the footboard; but steam not
shut off and they went by the crossing at full speed
The recruits still cheering for Redmon when the
train rounded curve quarter of mile farther
and plunged this terrible pace full into collection
of ties and rails which had been placed in cattle
guard.
The engine thrown off the track, and landed
suarely upside down in almost exactly the reverse
position to the way in which it had been headed.
1t continued to continuously while steam lasted,
and Redmon lay helpless underneath during the
whole of the tme-hence his boast While he was
seriously hurt, his injuries not likely to prove
fatal; but his fireman Conrad Cuenan, who lay
doubled up beside him. had been killed instantly.
The recruits made prisoners and the train was
set fire and destroyed by the Confederates. The
one person to escape was the president of the rail-
road, who made his way across the fields to Camp
Dennison, where he reported that all had been
killed.
A few days later Redmon, rapidly recovering in
Confederate field hospital, handed copies of the
Cincinnati newspapers which contained voluminous
and more less accurate reports of his feat and
rather than less inaccurate sketches of his
career.

In Germany and Italy

IN Germany the social influence OF the Kaiser has
been of a similar nature. Since their accession
to the throne, the Emperor and Empress have
dered religion and charity fashionable in Germany,
and they have given people to understand that the
surest way to win their favor and good will is to
build churches, and to endow and create phil
anthropc institutions. quarter of century ago
rarely attended church service in Germany, the
women constituting probably nine-tenths of the
congregation, especially in the towns and cities,
where the social status of the pastor far from
being enviable
To-day men well women consider it to be
their duty to put in an appearance at divine wor-
ship, piety has become popular, and the increasing
frequency of matrimonial alliances between the
aristocracy and the members of the clergy speaks
volumes fo- the improved social status OF the
latter All this is wholly and entirely due to the
social influence of the Kaiser and of his kindly and
universally beloved consort.
In Italy, although King Victor Emmanuel has
been only few years on the throne, his influence
exercised in the direction of economy, sobriety, and
purity of home life, is making itself felt in many
ways and the example which he sets alike to the
classes we'll to the in these respects is
productive of excellent results; while at Madrid,
thanks to the purifying influence of the Queen
Mother Christina quietly exercised during the last
nineteen twenty years. the court known in the
reign of Isabella II. the most prohigate in all

ALL RESIST TWO CENTS
WESTERN RAILROADS COMBINE
TO FIGHT ALL STATE LAWS
REQUIRING TWO-CENT
RATE.

Chicago, March THE Western
railroads have determined to fight
in the courts all state laws making
two cents mile the maximum pas
senger rate. Attorneys of several
of the largest roads held a confer
ence yesterday with view OF hav-
ing all roads pursue the same pol
Icy as to litigation over the two
cents a mile rate The plan now
generally favored is TO ask the courts
to restrain the enforcement Of the
law on the ground that q rate of
two cents mile would cause the
railroads heavy loss and in many
cases would require them to run
trains at less than the actual ope-
rating expenses, regardless of the
fixed charges, taxes and other obli-
cations Of the railroads Of which
they claim the passenger traffic
should assume q share.
