POWER SYSTEM
CUTS A WIRE AT THE HALIFAX
AND lNVADES THE SUB
STATION.

The electric storms of the last two
days have caused trouble for the
power company which seldom expert
ences lightning troubles at this sea
son. Yesterday afternoon lightning
cut a main line near the Halilax
mine and came dashing into the sub
station. where II was sidetraeked by
the arrester. However the visitation
put the lines out of commission for
more than half an hour
This morning at ! o'clock lightning
was active on the summit of the
White mountains at an altitude of
10000 feet, but no great harm was
done. as the shock only knocked the
line of the pole, but did not carry
the poles 20 the ground.

1t was well understood by the con-
gress at the time of the passage of
this law that the said Indebtedness
of the Central Pacific Railroad com
pany to the United States government
amounted to at least $5S,000,000 and
according, therefore, to the terms Of
said law, the Central Pacific Railroad
company was required to pay during
each of the ten years allowed for the
payment of said debt the sum OF
S5.SO0,000 per annum.
This sum exceeded many times
over any possible net earnings of the
Central Pacific Railroad company that
could be applied to the payment OF
this debt. and it cannot be questioned
that the congress intended and under
stood that this debt could only be
paid by the employment of the credit
and resources of the Southern Pacific
company, and that compliance with
the prescribed terms of the settle
ment necessarily involved participa-
tion therein by the Southern Pacific
company. and the only motive or con-
sideration which could induce the said
Southern Pacific company to partici-
pate in the payment of the Central
Pacific Railroad company's debt to
the government was the existence of
the aforesaid relations between it and
that company and its desire to con-
tinue such relations and to make per
manent its control OF that part of its
system
Paying OF Indebtedness.
"rhe defendants, therefore, allege
that the congress at the time it
enacted the said law of July Z. 1898
contemplated and expected such par
ticipation by the Southern Pacific
company in the settlement provided
for and had full power to arrange for
such security for the payment of said
Indebtedness as TO said commission
might seem eNpedient
The commission created by con
gress under the authority of this aet
made an agreement with the Central
Pacific Railroad company for pay
ment OF this debt in twenty semi
annual installments.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, May L.
The Southern Pacific company filed
today in the United States district
court in its answer in the govern
ment suit to divorce the Central Pa
cihc from the Southern Pacific The
answer, after specifically denying all
allegations that the Sherman anti
trust law has been violated, points
out not only that the two lines were
originally built, operated and devel-
oped as one road, but that, as far
back as 1898, the United States gov
ernment itself practically recognized
the combination as wholesome.
II asserts that in the joint opera
tion of these lines, through trains
have been run by the most direct or
convenient route without reference to
their ownership, and that any separ
alton OF the Central Pacific lines from
those of the Southern Pacific cannot
now be had without detriment to both
properties, and without impairing and
inconyeniencing the public service
and the communities through which
the lines pass.
Historical Resume.
In a brief historical resume, the
answer declares
LIST. That the lines OF the Southern
Pacific Railroad company were built
as extensions and connections Of the
lines OF the Central Pacific Railroad
company and by the same stockhold
ers.
End That, as the lines of the
Southern Pacific Railroad company
were completed, they were directly
leased to the Central Pacific to be
operated within its lines.
3rd. That. on April l. 1885. the
Southern Pacific Railroad company,
to simplify the organization. took
over, under lease for IS years. all
the lines OF both Central Pacific and
Southern Pacific, and has since man.
aged and developed them as one prop
erty. considering only efficiency Of
service to the public, without regard
to corporate properties such as ter.
minals and branches.
4th. That. relying on the terms
under which the Central Paciflc's debt
to the government Of $5s,000O00 was
settled in 1898, the Southern Pacific
company undertook heavy financial
obligations, not only guaranteeing
payment OF this debt, but also guar
anteeing the 100000 000 per cent
mortgage bond issue of the Central
Pacific. In this connection. II is con
tended that the government could not
consistently and with justice have ac
cepted this settlement, OF which II
did have full knowledge AS party
thereto IL the arrangement involved
a relation between the roads contrary
to public policy.

with remarkable felicity. setting the
other at ease and delighting him.
Then, all of a sudden. she suddenly
ceases. an acute silence supervenes
and the other does not know whether
to break the pause or slip away. The
fact is the queen talks well by dint of
concentration; this does not always
last until the end of the conversation,
and once the thread Is broken she
grows abstracted. thinking OF some,

find him, writes the editor OF the
American Machinist.
We know an executive who wants
two or three men as assistants; II he
could find them in his plant he would
gladly pay them $40 a week. He has
tried a considerable number in these
positions during the past year. but
without success as yet. He feels that
he is positively hampered by the lack
of them.
We know that there Is an active de,

readily believe that there Is keen
demand for $4,000 men.
II is remarkable that In a plant EN-.
