the present time is 3,031. In addition
1u9G men have died. The average age
of employees at the time of retirement
was II years and three months, with
an average length of service of "a
years and two months.
Although the Pennsylvania railroad
was not the first to inaugurate the
pens ion system, it's pension department
Las teen so thoroughly we'll organized
that it has come to be recognized by
otner railroads as the model of such
systems Everything is done according
to a we'll defined plan and no one is
overlooked The company's purpose is
to provide for old and faithful en-
ployes upon their becoming mentally
or physically unfit after 30 years OF
activity. Employment in the COM
pany's service is generally accepted as
of a permanent nature. and viewing
the matter in this light the company
makes provision so that those who
have given the best years of their life
to its interest, can look forward to be
taken care of in their old age.

GIRL LAUGHS EIGHT HOURS.
Started by Witty Remark, Young
Woman Can't Stop.

FLORENCE, N. j.. Mch. 24.-Eight
hours of hearty laughter. with scarcely
a minute of rest, was the discomfort
endured by Miss Barbara Barr of this
city and a member of the Baptist
church choir. Miss Barr was visiting
the home of friends, when someone
made a witty remark which aroused
the mirth of all those present. After
a few moments Miss Barr found it was
impossible to stop laughing. Her
laughter could be seard for a square.
All kinds of plans to stop her were
tried but without success. Doctors
Thatcher and Baird were summoned
and conveyed the exhausted and semi
conscious girl to her home. Until late
in the evening she continued, and the
physicians We're unable to cope with
the case. Miss Barr grew weaker
every minute, but still laughing, she
sank into slumber and the spell grad
ually passed away. When she awok'-
the effect for some time rendered her
helpless. The peculiar thing about the
case is that she does not remember
the joke.

Sermons, However, and Fires His
Last One at WaIIa WaIIa.

DR.. H. o Breeder preached doctrin-
al sermon yesterday evening to more
than 1000 people at the Central Christ
ian church. He declared that this
would probably be the last doctrinal
sermon he would preach while in the
city as he was not fond of these desser-
tations but he had message to deliver
and must give it.
That Christ was the center of the
church and there should be but one
church was the central idea of his dis
course The speaker said belief in Jesus
Christ was the one cardinal creed in
elusive and exclusive.
Baptism and communion were the
two necessary ordinances according to
DR.. Breeder and he quoted instances
from Scripture to prove his asses
tions.
Announcement was made that of the
800 persons during the recent revivals
one third had united with the Christian
church.
The revival meeting at the Central
church will continue during the week
and terminate with the the dedication
services next Sunday.

FEUO OVER SHIFTING CREEK
Flood Changes Course of Castiac and
Armed Ranchers Clash as
Result.

LOS ANGELES Cal, March 4.-The
gnomes of contention must have float
ed down from the mountain Businesses
with the storm waters this winter,
Judging by the troubles which have
cropped up on every hand. Amos,
daily there come in reports of neigh
borhood difficulties, the result of the
storms and freshets.
Now it is Castiac Canon which is at
tracing the official eyes of the county
supervisors trip is to be made
there on Thursday by Patterson and
Alexander. going as Il sort of peace
commission.
Bill Jenkins and "Old Man Car
michael are the heads of the two con-
tending factions. Matters have reach
ed such a pitch of strenuOsity that it
is said gun play has come up and old
standing troubles have broken forth in
new sores that have been chafed until
a neighborhood riot is imminent.
Like many another California water
way the creek which meanders down
Castaic canon has a habit of shifting
it's bed when the storm waters rage
This winter it has altered it's course in
tho most arratic fashion. and in places
runs directly along what was formerly
the county road.
Carmichael and Jenkins are extern
sive land owners in the canon. Their
lands lie in such position that theil
boundaries adjoin in many places
Now, while both want county ROAD
up the canon, neither is anxious for
it to pass over his own lands.
But the storm waters switched the
creeks current so that in some cases il
is necessary to throw the road up or
Jenkins land in an entirely new place
In other sections it is CarmichaelS
land that catches the highway.
One of these men contends that the
board of supervisors must build uI
riprapping SO that the road will b.
thrown into its former position, nov
the bed of the creek. The board Itself
desires to throw the road farther w
the banks and riprap the stream so a:
to make it secure in future storms.
There is the same old story, occur
ring in so many California cOmmuni
ties, where each land owner has tried
TO turn the waters current away from
his own land at the expense of hi:
neighbor, and up in the Castaic thi:
has stirred up old enmites that have
been dragging along for years.
Supervisors Patterson and AleXan
der hope to be able to reach a salts
factory agreement with the two mair
land owners. If this is done the line:
recently run by the county surveyor
will be closely followed. In case al
amicable decision cannot be reached i
is probable that condemnation proceed
ings will be begun: but the land own
ers. if they are so inclined, can cause
long delay by litigation before the road
feud i finally settled.

STOLE; BLAME FAST LIFE.

Charles H. Thornton, note teller Of the
institution and William w. Baker
were on their way to the Cook coun'

High living and fast life is said to
explain the downfall of the young
men who had been employed at the
bank since it's organization four years
ago. This explanation was given by
the prisoners to the attorney for the
government, to whom they acknawl

NO SMOKE ISSUES FROM THE ENGINE

KANKAKEE, ILL.,, March 4.-Noise-
lessly, without puff Of smoke, toot OF
whistle or clang of bell, with no engi-
neer at the throttle, no fireman to
shovel coal and no conductor to give
orders, a "spoOk" freight train passed
through Watseka, 25 miles south on the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad
early Saturday morning. 1t must have
been a "spook" train, for it had no
material existence.
The train was first seen by M. L.
Burnett, the night towerman. He saw
the train approach from the north, and
saw it stop at the Walnut street cross
ing at $50 o'clock. The train remained
mOtionleSS for six minutes and then
noiselessly glided by the tower and on
toward the south.
When the train first appeared, Bur
nett says, he thought it was Extra No
1O2. but about 20 minutes later Extra
No 1O2 pulled up to the tower. In the
meanwhile Burnett had been assured
by the dispatcher that there was nc
train between No. 1876, which had pas
sed few minutes before, and No. 102
just in the yards.
Night Towerman J. P. Quinn, at
Coaler, three miles south Of Watseka
saw a train coming up behind No 39e
as the later was cOaling, an he sc
telegraphed to the dispatcher at Dan
vile.
NO train there. Train Extra No
1912 Just out of Pittwood." the despatch
er wired back.
A few minutes later No. 1876 pulled
out of Coaler and the train behind il
had disappeared.
Quinn wired the dispatcher that the
train back of No. 800 was not there any
more and he had not seen it leave the
coaling station.
Messages flew back and forth be-
tween the despatcher's office in Dan
vile and the tOwermen at Coaler an6
Watseka in an effort to find the mis-
sing train. Towerman Burnett com
munlcated with the right man at Pltt'
