That Ferguson Case.
The case against the Rev. Wilbert P.
Ferguson, at Lincoln, charged with
statuary olTense, was continued from
Saturday, until Monday, Oct. 14. Mu
tual agreement between counsel made
that at that time the show will really
begin, and the programe carried out to
the end. The Lincoln News of Satur
day, in speaking of the great church
scandal, says: "Subpoenas were made
out, at the request of the defendant's
attorneys, ordering cunstable Bartram
to get service immediately on the
following interested parties in thepros
ecntion: Arthur E. Cross, Rev. Geo.
W. Isham, Rev. Allen A. Randal, Rev.
Adam C. Crossthwaite and Chancellor
DeWitt C. Huntington.''
"Attorney Adams said that rumor
had it that 'star' witnesses for the
prosecution would speak to avoid being
served with summons to appear in
court because of the publicity that will
be given to the hearing, and it was
claimed by him that unless "they are
served immediately there is danger
that they cannot be found when want
ed. Such a condition might furnish
grounds for another postponement and
council for Mr. Ferguson is anxious to
avoid delay.
"It is claimed by council for defense
that the ministers who are to be wit
nesses for the accused are in sympathy
with the complaining witness and wife,
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur E. Cross. How
ever, the defendants lawyers, they de
clare purpose to examine them in their
efforts to bring out the facts." .
"We were ready for the trial yester
day, but would have Jbeen perfectly sat
isfied had the county attorney consent
ed to take it up today. said L. C.
Burr, representing the accused. "We
will have but a few witnesses, and they
could be summoned upon short notice. ' '
"County Attorney Tyrell was not
ready for the trial today, and there
fore sought to get a postponement.
The case had only been brought to his
attention Wednesday of this week, and
he claimed he has not .had sufficient
time to prepare for an immediate hear
ing. He had not coversed with the
witnesses for the state and had wily
talked with the complaintant, Arthur
E. Cross, as to the matter of filing the
complaint. He hud not probed into the
matter and did not even learn the
names. of all the witnesses that were to
be summoned for the prosecution."
"Today Cross and wife -were in con
sultation with the county attorney at
the court house for a considerable time.
The object of their visit. was not relat
ed. However it was thought that they
wished to lay bare ?ome of the secrets

"Council for the defendant is busy

torneys merely say that it is their in

the scandal."
Statement of Accused
"Rev. W. P. Ferguson has prepared
the following for publication:"
"How strange that my directors
should rush into the county attorney's
office, make out a criminal complaint
in hot haste when they find that they
must face their accusations in a civil
trial, seek to have me publically arrest
ed when I was prompt in making a.vol
untary surrender the moment I heard of
it, have the fact widely advertised that
I am charged with crime, and then not
be ready for a hearing. Why not
ready, after more than three months
have been spent in looking for everv
trace from all quarters? Truly the
complaintiant, Arthur E. Cross, can
tell the court at once his complaint.
Mrs. Cross is ready. Who are not
ready? Who are the parties that have
urged this matter, first in the church
and now in a criminal court? Why are
they not ready? Why have this matter
to remain indefinite? Why did they
rush into criminal proceedings the day
civil action was instituted? Are these
stout defenders of the faith acting for
the glory of God and the good of Meth
odism and with a spirit of charity and
brotherly feeling to leave this matter
to remain indefinite? The people are
answering and I am content to leave
the matter there till the court is ready
to act."

WILL FARLEY AGCI
DENTLY KILLED
No Particulars Received as f o
How Accident Occuerd.
George L. Farley yesterday morning
received a telephone message from Lin
coln from his sister, Miss Margaret
Farley, to the effect that she had a
message from Thermopolis, Wyo. stat
ing that their brother Will had been ac
cidently killed at that place on last Fri
day. The place where he had been
living is not on a railroad or near one,
Cody," Wyo., being the nearest station.
Will has been at Casper, Wyo., which
is a little over 100 miles southeast of
I the place where he lived at the time of
the accident. While at Caspar he had
been engaged in the ranch business but
had closed out his interests and gone to
Thermopolis about two months since.
He carried an insurance for $2,000, in
favor of his sister Miss Margaret Far
ley, who formerly taught in the schools
here, but who accepted a position and
has been engaged in teaching in Lincoln
for the past two years. Will was about
thirty-nine years of age, and had lived
most of his life in Weeping Water, hav
ing gone to the west only a few years
ago.

No one was injured and no serious
damage done with the exception of the
delaying of traffic and tearing up of
the track. It looks to us as though the
people who have charge of the train
service of the Missouri Pacific in this
territory should be skilled statesmen,
dipolmats, entertainers, blacksmiths,
machinests and section men, in order to
cope with the exigencies which they
meet in a days travel. The Missouri

Clergymen Must Pay Usual
Rates After First of Year
After January 1, 1D0H, clergymen
who have been traveling ujon half rates
on all western railroads will be com
pelled to pay full fare. This fact was
made certain by the action of a general
conference of all clergy bureaus of all
the western passenger associations at
Chicago. '
The transcontinental passenger asso
ciation will continue to issue half rate
permits to clergymen so long as the
rates are not reduced in Colorado, Mon
tana, Arizona and states west of there
to the Pacific coast. The permits may
also be continued in the states of Texas
and Louisana, where their withdrawal
depends upon the state commissions of
those states.
The action of the railroads is in line
with the announced policy of withdraw
ing all reduced rate privileges in states
where 2-cent laws are passed.

Cannot Prohibit Card Playing

the second class. Such authority ' must
be specific. The court granted a writ

Another Job for Rawls.
The barber was C. Wes Clark and the
editor was C. L. Graves, the latter's of
fice being the scene of the battle. The
trouble started over a $4 bill that the
base ball enthusiasts owed Robert Trook
for some good hard work on the ball
diamond. Bob was an innocent party
in the tragic affair, but the barber and
editor couldn't exactly agree as to the
mode of drawing the funds from the
treasury. The barber and editor dis
cussed the matter in language more em
phatic than poetic, and the selection of
pet names was rather reckless. At last
the barber concluded the right thing to
do was to "lick the editor" and he
forthwith tackled the job. The fur flew
for awhile, and when, the battle was
checked by an outsider there didn't ap
pear to be any urgent need of a coroner
to sit on a defunct barber or editor, not
even the surgeons got a call to dress
the more or less dangerous wounds and
scratches. The matter of pugilistic
supremacy was left unsettled so far as
the battle is concerned, and Jim Jef
fries is left in doubt as to' which is en
titled to a match with him. Union

VERY LATEST IN
LOCOMOTIVES
Uonster of the Rail Capable
of Pulling a Train Five
Miles Long
From the Schenectacy works of
the
Americun Locomotive company there
has just been turned out for the Erie
railroad a monster engine, and one
which has the distinction of being the
most powerful of any locomotive hith
erto constructed.
The building of this great engine wan
brought about by the grade located at
the west end of the Delaware division,
which is 101 miles in length, and at the
east end of the Susquehanna division,
which is 140 miles long. The Scientific
American has compiled some figures to
show that at present the heaviest
freight engine of the Erie,
weighing lH 1,000 pound, can haul a
train weighing .',400 tons from Cornell,
at the west end of the Susquehanna
division to Port Jeris, at the east end
of the Deleware division, provided it is
assisted over the eight-mile stretch of
road above re I re red to containing a l..'l
per cent grade. Up to the present
time these freight trains have been as
sisted over the grade by two and some
times even three of the heaviest of the
Erie helper engines; or if that were not
done, it was necessary to cut the train
in two. This entailed trouble and de
lay, and also involved the use of extra
engineers, firemen, etc. In order to
solve the problem, it was suggested by
the American Locomotive company to
concentrate the helping power of one
engine of exceptional weight and
power, thus placing the whole of the
auxiliary power in the hands of a
single crew.
The first locomotive of this type to
be constructed in this country was
built by the company for the Baltimore
& Ohio mountain service; and in the
few years it has heen at work it has
given most exc ellent service, hauling
even greater loads than were antici
pated, and all the parts functioning
satisfac torily. This was followed by a
still larger engine for the same ela.JS
of service, built by the Baldwin Loco
motive company for the Great North
ern company. The third to be built is
the huge locomotive which forms the
subject or the present article. I;y a
study of the accompanying f'gjres show
ing relative weights and dimensions, it
will be seen that the Erie locomotive
marks a great advance upon the other
two, the total weight of the engine
having gone up from 305,000 pourjds in
the Great Northern to 410,000 pounds
in the Erie locomotive, and the tractive
effect from 71,000 pounds to 98,000
pounds.
To supply steam to engines of such
great power it became necessary to de
sign a boiler far larger than any in ex
istence. The weight of the the boiler
is 100,000 pounds. It has a total heat
ing surface of 5,314 square feet.
The high pressure cylinders are
twenty-five inches, the low-pressure
thirty-nine inches in diameter, and both
have a stroke of twenty-eight inches.
The tractive effort of 98,000 pounds
will be developed when the engine is
working compound; but an intercepting
valve is provided, by which the engin
eer can turn his steam into the low
pressure cylinders, in which case about
forty-five per cent of the boiler pres
sure will be realized in them, raising to
a maximum of about 120,000 pounds."'
Under these conditions the locomotive
could haul 250 loaded freight cars a
train that would measure nearly two
miles in length. If such a train were
loaded with wheat it .would represent
the product of twenty-six square miles
of wheat land. The engine could haul
the load at a speed of between eight
and ten miles an hour.
The total weight of the engine u
210,000 pounds, which put in tonnage,
gives the figure of 105 tons.
The length of the engine is eighty
feet. The locomotive is carried upon
two sets of eight driving wheels each,
all of the eight in each case being
coupled, so that the whole of the
weight of 210,000 pounds of the engine
is available for adhersion. The boiler
is mounted rigidly upon the main or
after frame of the locomotive, and it
weight is born partly upon this and
partly upon the forward radial frame,
on the front end of which the low
pressure cylinders are mounted.
When the locomotive enters a curve,
the forward engine is free to swing to
right and left, as the curve may be,
the sliding bearing plate and other de
vices allow it to do this with compara
ively little resistance. As a matter of
fact, because of the flexibility of the
wheel base, the lateral wrenching effects
of this engine upon curves will be less
than that of much smaller engines.
Moreover, the load being distributed
among sixteen wheels, the concentrat
ed wheel load of 51,250 pounds per
wheel is considerably less than that of
some locomotive of far less total wethig1.
