RAN WITHOUT GUIDING HAND
tie, Train Continued for TIME
Without Accident.

With the engineer unconscious in
his seat from a fractured skull, the
New York and ST. Louis express, on
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, sped
over the rails for time near Balti-
more without a controlling hand on
the throttle. President Willard and
other high officials of the road were
aboard the train.
The plight of the engineer, J. H.
Moxley, of Baltimore, was discovered
by the foreman of locomotives, who
was riding on the engine, and had his
attention drawn to Moxley by the lat
ter's failure to blow a crossing sig
nal as the express was running
through Brunswick, Md. The train
was stopped at the Brunswick station,
where a physicians examination dis
closed the nature Of the mans in

PERFECTED STEEL TIE
EQUIPMENT RAILROADS HAVE
BEEN LOOKING FOR is HERE.
Considered Certain to Replace the
Wooden Ones Now In Use-lnven-
tor Claims 1t Makes Spread
Ing of Rails impossible.

A railroad Is no safer than its weak
est tie, but from time immemorial rail
road ties have been made of wood
The splitting of these wooden ties,
and the consequent spreading of the
rails, has been one of the most pro
ductive causes OF railroad accidents.
Thousands Of lives have been lost in
this way.
1t is now proposed to do away with
wooden ties altogether and to substi-
tute ties of steel Just as the steel
car is gradually superseding the
wooden car on all well-regulated rail
roads, so, it is believed, the steel tie
will be adopted in place of the wooden
tie now in almost universal use.
A new steel tie which seems to fill
satisfactorily all the functions of the
wooden tie now in use, and is also
cheaper and stronger, has been in
vented by Andrew F. Chambless, a
well-known railroad man of Xenia, O.,
and will in all proba bility be the one
adopted by the railroads. 1t costs in
the neighborhood of eighty cents,
whereas the average tie of wood, after
1t has been treated with preservatives,
costs railroads about one dollar and a
quarter.
Not only is the initial cost of the
steel tie less than that of the wooden
one, but the former is claimed to be
far more durable. Whereas the life of
the wooden tie is very short, the steel
tie is practically indestructible. 1t
will certainly outlive ten wooden ties.
But the principal claim made in he
half of the steel tie is that it makes
the spreading of rails impossible, and
thus will be the means of saving a
great many lives every year.

New Block Sionals Planned.

Automatic electric block signals OF
the modern upper quadrant, three-posi
tion type will be installed on $50 miles
of the Southern railroad system in Vir
ginia, Georgia, Tennessee and North
Carolina, President Fairfax Harrison
announced. The signals are similar tc
those now being installed between
Alexandria and Orange, Va, and Knox
Vile and Morristown, Tenn, and cir
operation between Charlotte, Va, and
Greensboro, n. G.
According to President Harrison, the
electric system not only provides safe
ty in the operation of trains, but large
ly increases the traffic capacity of the
lines Of the lines for which this sys-
TEN has just been authorized 120 miles
are on the line between Washington
and Atlanta, and the balance on i'm
portant traffic routes in western Geor.
gia and Tennessee.

Concrete Poles withstood Storm.

The great strength of reinforced
concrete telegraph poles was proved
to demonstration during the violent
storms of this winter, according to the
Scientific American. The Pennsylva-
mia Railroad company states that this
was shown in the case of their tele-
graph lines, where a large number of
reinforced concrete poles were exposed
to the recent heavy storm, which prac-
tically isolated New York city. Though
many of the wooden poles were broken
down by the wind, in no case did a re-
inforced concrete pole fall, and this in
spite Of the fact that so severe was
the stress that the wooden cross arms
upon some of these poles were broken.
They are made of Portland cement,
reinforced with steel rods. They have
the further advantages, in addition to
their strength, that they do not rot at
the ground, and that they never rust

UNCLE SAM RAILROAD OWNER
Operated by the United States
Government.

1t is not generally known that the
United States government owns and
operates a railroad which has proved
to be an exceedingly profitable invest.
ment, remarks the Engineering News.
The Panama railroad, which Uncle
Sam purchased as a necessary tool for
the construction Of the Panama canal.
shows net profits for the last fiscal
year of $2,180,000, representing about
thirty-one per cent on the company s
capital stock of $7,000,000. Uncle Sam,
however, does not use these profits to
pay himself dividends, but allows
them to accumulate as surplus. The
total assets over liabilities now
amount to over fifteen million three
hundred and seventy-nine thousand
dollars.
1t is fair to add that the railroad is
aided in making these large profits by
its high rates for freight and passen-
ger service. The average freight reve-
nue. per ton-mile last year was 3.48
cents The average revenue per pas
senger-mile was 2.37 cents. The total
length of the line is only about fifty
miles and, of course, the abnormal pro
portion of the operating expense alb
sorbed in terminal charge justif1es a
much higher freight and passenger
rate than in ordinary service.
The present plan is for the govern
ment to continue to operate the rail
road and it's associated steamship line
after the canals completion. If the di-
version of traffic to the canal makes
the railroad service no longer profit
able, the government can, if itchooses,
so run the line as merely to pay op-
Grating expenses. The capital original
ly invested in it will have been fully
repaid by the profits the railroad has
earned during the period of canal con-
structjon.

Where Briar Pipes Come From.

The briar pipe industry of France is
for all practical purposes centered in
the small town of St. Claude, in the
department of the Jura, where not
only pipes, but cigarette and cigar
holders and other kindred necessities
of the smoking world, are manufac-
tured The principal sources of sup
ply from which French manufacturers
obtain the briar roots are, in order of
Importance, Sicily, Calabria, Corsica,
and, of late years, Algeria. In the three
1rst-named countries there exist rocky
conditions, and the root therefore par
takes of corresponding hardness, but
In Algeria the sandy soil gives soft

From the Goldfield (Nevada) Daily
Tribune, for a copy of which the
Examiner is indebted to Mrs. Walter
A. Sherlock, of Alturas, we learn
that Frank B. Evans a former Lake
view boy was elected to the assem-
bly, from Esmeralda county, Nevada,
at the recent election. This news
is particularly gratifying to the many
friends of Mr. Evans from the fact
that Esmeralda county is strongly
Democratic, and he has been life
long Republican. The other four as.
semblymen elected with Mr. Evans
are all Democrats
For years Frank was employed in
the Bailey & Massingill store, having
removed from here to Nevada about
nine years ago His father and moth
er were pioneer residents of this sec
ton, and Frank has the distinction
of being the first child born in Lake
view.
