THE Fatal Editorial.

The editorial in the Nashville Ten
nessean which precipitated the diff
Guilty that resulted in the death of
ex-senator Ned" Carmack. was as
follows:
TO Major Duncan Brown Cooper,
who wrought the great coalition; who
achieved the harmonious confluence
of incompatible elements; who weld
ed the pewter handle to the wooden
spoon: who grated the dead bough
TO the living tree and made il bloom
and bOurgeon and bend with golden
fruit: who made playmates Of the
lamb and the leopard and boon com
panions of the spider and the fly; who
made soda and vinegar to dwell plac-
idly in the same bottle and who
taught oil and water how they might
agree-to Mai. Duncan Brown Coop
er, the greatest diplomat of the po-
litical zweibund, be all honor and
glory forever.
The editorial, which was headed
The Diplomat of the zweibund, ="
had reference TO a recent conference
between Governor Patterson and for
mer Governor John I. Cox, who had
been estranged by political differ
enees and who. it seems, We're
brought together by the diplomacy
of Cooper.
Edward Ward Carmack, as a
speaker and editorial writer, was
perhaps without an equal in the
South. He was particularly strong
as a debater and the speeches deliv-
cred by him on the floor of the Unit
ed States Senate will rank with the
greatest efforts of Clay, Webster and
Calhoun. One of his most notable
efforts was his reply to Senator Fora
ker on the Brownsville incident.
His untimely death at the hands
of the Coopers, also prominent in the
social and political affairs of Ten
neseee, has produced intense feeling
throughout that State and it is feared
by many that there will be further
trouble between the friends of Mr.
Carmack and the Coopers.

If Shannon Chicks Are Six Months Old
Why Do Lenzll's PuIlets Lay Eggs ?

Chicks that grow into fat hens and
lay eggs, and chicks that persist in re-
naming chicks beyond the proper per-
iod of chickhOod, are now an engross-
ing subject of discussion at police head
quarters.
Desk Sergeant John A Lenzi APP
peared for duty yesterday boastfully
stating that he had a white Plymouth
Rock hen four months and two weeks
old which had laid an egg on Satur-
day last. This interested Lieutenant
Richard L. Shannon. who has some
barred Plymouth Rock chicks which,
although Matched last February and
now more than six months old. still
remain chicks, despite all his effort to
make them grow into proud cocks and
egg-laying hens.
OF course, Lenzi and Shannon COM
pared notes.
Lenzi explained that seventy-five
white Plymouth Rock chicks, which
were Matched in Ohio on April s last.
were shipped to him and reached Salt
Lake on April H. They were quar-
tered in his yard at $50 South Eighth
East street and Immediately devoted
all their energies to growing
When they grew large and fat. some
OF the chickens We're served at the
feasts at the LenZi home and others
were sold or given away. and now ONLY
ten remain. These are now big chick
ems, and one of the hens cackled over

her first egg last Saturday. The egg
is now a Lenzi family treasure.
Lieutenant Shannon had no such ros-
cate story to tell. His barred Ply
mouth Rock chicks were Matched last
February and were tenderly cared for
in his yard at q Johnston street.
Il have done everything for them"
said Shannon. but they will not grow.

can be procured and every once in a
while ] cut an armuf of lucerne and

grass. and when / throw it to them

They scratch up the worms when

food set before them, and pick at the
green grass cut for their especial bene-
fit, but grow-that is thing they
haven't made I'D their minds to do"
Shannon wrinkled his brows perplex-
eddy.
Lenzi smiled as though he had the
secret of making chickens grow snugly
up his sleeve.
Some dealer would like to have that
first egg" he said "A chicken might
be Matched from it from which an ear
ly-laying variety of poultry might be
started"

The est mated cost of the Improvement
is Kept secret but it is understood to be
more than $40 900. Careful estimates
have been made of the saving which
would be occasioned by the use of cleo
tricity in the mountain division. No in
formation regarding this is at hand. but
il is said to be material saving-much
greater than large percentage of the i'm
proVement. Beyond all this. however,
Is the fact that electrical power. unlike
steam power, is capable of large multiple
cation In mountain railroading Its sub
stitution would mean, for one thing that
the capacity of the mountain lines would
be more than doubled. 1t now takes two
and three locomotives to get short trains
over some of the grades, whereas sin
gle electrical motor would be capable of
hauling a train much longer than the
trains which now use two engines.
The mountain division of a railroad OPP
crates somewhat like the neck of a bot
tie. 1t Is impossible to get more trains or
more ton mage over the road than can be
gotten over the mountains or through the
neck of the railroad bottle. Accordingly,
when the capacity of the neck is increased
the possibilities of the entire road for
handling traffic are CORRESPONDENCE in
creased. 1t is for this reason that noun
tain divisions are so dreaded by railroad
operating men.

ELECTRIC POWER FOR HEAVY GRADES
OF TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROADS

Electric power in mountain railroading
Will be the next move of the great trans
continental lines. 1t is believed that
George j. Gould's purpose in organizing
the western Power company was to get
locations for power plants to be used in
the operation of the Western Pacific rail-
road. The Western Power company now
has agents all along the Western Pacific
buying up water rights and good locations
for power plants. When these agents
first commenced their activities il was
generally supposed that Mr.. Gould intend
ed TO reach out for some of the enor-
nous profits which have been made by
the large western power comUanies. but
now it is understood that the Western
Power company'S recent acquisitions are
mainly for the use of the Western Pacific
although II is probable that power will be
sold to mining companies and other con-
Germs along the line of the new railroad
Edward II. Hartman also favors cleo
trio power in mountain railroading. As
soon as financial conditions improve. it
is said. he VIII spend about $40, 900 in
equipping the mountain divisions upon his
lines which cross three mountain ranges,
with electric power.
In a recent interview z. II. Hartman
was quoted as saying:
Il cannot think of electrifying until the
money market loosens up. It is an i'm
provement which is bound to come. be-
cause ii is in line with the cheapening of
operation. which must come before the
people can hope to realize lower freight
rates
The government will not permit of the
combination of parallel and competing
lines Of railway. rightly enough. hut it
should permit combinations of connecting
lines for the purpose of further cheapen-
ing the cost of operation. The railroads of
the country have for some years been
spending millions with the sole view of re-
ducing their cost of operation. to meet the
demand for lower freight rates. It is in
line with this effort that the project of
electrifylng the mountain divisions was
started -

Plans Electrical Equipment.

Mr. Hartman said his expert engineers
had been In the mountains for more than
a year surveying the water courses and
the sources of supply for water power
with a view to impOunding il for the pro-
duction of electricity. 1t is his purpose
TO electrify as soon as possible the noun
tain division of the Union Pacific road.
which runs over the Rockies; the noun
tain division of the Southern Pacific.
which runs over the Herras. and the new
mountain division Of the Shasta route.
which will run. like the present route,
over the Siskiyou mountains.
1t is understood that the engineers re-
ported favorably to the project. There
are reported TO be a large number of
streams capable of developing sufficient
water power to run nearly everything in
the universe. 1t is planned to use this
power in a similar manner as the water
power of the Niagara river is used to gen.
crate electricity at Niagara Falls.
The natural fall in the mountain streams
could be utilized to turn great turbines,
which would be used in generating the
electricity needed to operate the trains
over mountains. The cheapness of this in
stallation. compared with the results that
could be obtained, has, ii is said, amazed
Mr.. Hartman.
The reports of the engineers have been
submitted TO Julius Kruttschnitt. Mr..
Harriman's director of maintenance and
operation. and have been approved by
him. When Mr.. Kruttschnitt came west
with Mr.. Hartman he brought with him
these reports. and they were gone over
thoroughly. 1t is understood that during
his stay in the mountains. Mr.. Hartman

MARKET CHANGES
NOT IMPORTANT
Fluctuations in the Financial
World Are of Usual Mid

IMPROVEMENT IN CROPS
UNITED STATES HAS BETTER
OF FOREIGN TRADE.

New York. Aug. Exchanges in the gen.
eral financial situation last week were
hardly noteworthy. On the stock ex-
change the daily trading partook strongly
of the usual midsummer character prices
rising and falling within a narrow range.
Early in the week the list became un-
settled under the influence of the mani
festos of a New England operator. and
from the start to finish the markets I'M
dertone was distinctly irregular.
The week was not without it's favorable
developments. foremost being the marked
Improvement reported in crops. Another
gratifying feature was the government s
report on the foreign commerce in July,
which showed a reduction of SIS. 900 or
30 per cent in imports and falling off of
s26000.O00 for the seven months of the
calendar year This enormous contraction
of imports. with an excess of exports for

and time as we'll as call accommodations
were noticeably easy.
Hartman Stocks Strong.
Easily the most prominent feature of the
week in stocks was the activity and
strength of the Hartman lines. A new
high record was made by Southern Pa
cific during the week with talk of a re-
adjustment of the company's securities
in some manner calculated to benefit that
stock. The weakness of the Rock Island
Frisco group was so pronounced as to
cause some uneasiness, although assur-
ances were given that the more imme-
date financial needs of this system would
be safeguarded.
Their complicated condition is very gen.
orally known, however, and some kind of
reorganization seems inevitable.
Iron and steel trade conditions are rath-
er mixed just at present. A better de-
mand is reported for light materials. but
otherwise only slight improvement is
shown.
In theAcopper and general metal trade
the situation is decidedly less favorable
than a month ago.
Collapse in Cotton.
One of the weeks interesting events.
bearing not a little on the securities mar
ket, was the sensational collapse in the
big cotton pool. which is said to have
brought disaster to some of the more ven-
turesome operators. The substance of the
reports submitted by the mercantile
agencies for the week is that trade and
industrial activities continue to expand,
with promise of permanent Improvement.
Europe was in scarcely any sense a fac
tor in the weeks trading here AS an
financial institutions have recovered from
last falls panic, it is not aniss to note
that one of the then defunct trust COM
panies, since recognized, has proSpered

months payment of two installments to

excitement among the tourists over
the new MotfaL Road, which runs from
Denver to the crest of the Continental
Divide, taking the tourists to the
height of II $50 feet, where banks of
eternal snow lie along the track in a
three hours ride.
This Road is considered by visitors
to Denv r the most remarkable scenic
trip in the world. 1t is the only line
in the world which takes the traveller
to great banks of eternal snow during
the summer time in such short dis
tance from large city. Tourists
might travel for thousands of miles
without being able to see this wonder
full paradox of nature.
This line is being built from Denver
to Salt Lake City, Utah, and will open
a new territory immeasureably rich
in coal and minerals. 1t has already
been constructed l57 miles.
The line opens up a new region of
fishing and hunting and thousands of
hunters, campers and fishermen 90
each year into this virgin territory
where game is plentiful and not fright
ened by the presence of the too numer-
GUS contingent of hunters. The line
is favorite one with fishermen who
find in the scores of beautiful streams

larger than those found elsewhere In
