The working time was reduced to
eight hours Monday. About the only
"kick" the men make is that of going to
work at eight o'clock and quitting at
five,, a majority of tbem preferring to
commence at seven and quit at four.
ine advantage in tne latter hours is
that they would have more time in the
evening to devote to improving their
homes.
Quite a serious freight wreck occurred
at Gothenburg Saturday morning during!
the prevalence of a dense fog. Train 22
was doing local work at that station
when train 18, with thirty cars of Cali
fornia freight crashed into the rear end,
piling up about twenty cars in a very
promiscuous manner., Engineer Dalson
and Fireman Eves jumped from the
engine ot its in time to escape, but two
tramps who were on the train were
fatally injured. Tho engine was
stripped clean and will have to be rebuilt
The loss entailed is probably $20,000.
J ust where tho fault lies we are not re
liably informed.
David S. Patterson, of this city, who
is seventy-five years of age and has been
totally blind nearly all his life, received
on Saturday last lotters patent on a now
device in. the driving gear of a locomo
tive. Under this invention fore and aft
cylinders are used on each sido of the
ocomotive which equalizes the steam
pressure and prevents tho "pounding"
in tho cylinder, the ''hammering" on the
rail, and the swaying or "noseing" motion
of the engine. W. J. Patterson, brother
of the inventor, says several railroad
officials who have oxamined the drawings
pronounce the invention practicable, and
further says that an engine on this plan
will soon bo constructed at tho Omaha
shops. Several letters asking for a price
on the right to use the device have
already been received by Mr. Patterson.

A Belief Tkat Ftotm ImMtiaait.
A recently returned eastern misstoaaty
says that a small, but persistent, rvtm
tion in household affairs is the first be
lief in the transmigration of soab anoag
one's Buddhist servants and its ottm
ludicrous consequences. For inntwmE
once on shipboard the sailors were mt
rected to kill the cockroaches with, which
the vessel was infested. This they darai
not do, fearing that some ancestor's spirit
might be imprisoned in that most un
likely form. They approached the tt
min gently, lifted them np on sheets of
paper and dropped them overboard im a.
manner almost tender and quite defsr
ential.
One young convert clung to her newly
made friend during her last illness hMi
the constant cry that she feared, whe
the end should come, that the old bellaf
would be too strong for her, it i
so hard upon her that the son! was
tined for further earthly lift, it mi
cause for great rejoicing at the aissiK
station that dissolution came in
and unattended by this horror. New
