A coach on train No. 2 yesterday
morning contained a number of in
sane soldiers who were being taken
to Washington. The men had been
made insane by disease coupled
with the intense heat. They looked
very haggard and ill.
For several days new steel ..cars
tor flie pregon ShoTt'Tvine have
been passing through here enroute
to Huntington. The cars have at
tractcu considerable attention as
they represent an entirely new
pliaso of car building. There is
only one piece of wood used in the
construction of the entire car. In
point of weight they compare very
favorably with the old style wooden
car. The Union Pacific has con
tracted for a number of steel cars.
The work of ballasting the road
bed between Lexington and North
Platte will be completed to-day.
The various gangs which have been
at work there arc being transferred

noon. About 300 men have been
working on the Second ior the past
fewj weeks rushing the work in

August 1st.
J. II. McConnelk yiastcr mechanic
of the Union Pacilic system, spent
Saturday in town looking over the
motive power department here. Mr.
McCoimcll says the new engines
purchased by the Union Pacilic are
very satisfactory in every respect
and the readjustment which they
have had to have is only such as
all new engines require and far less
than that needed by the engines
which the road purchased in 1890.
This fall the 1500 class of engines,
which are now being used on the
Fourth district, will be transferred
to the division between Ogden and
Lvanston and the 1700 class will be
used between Omaha and ICvaiiston.
Yesterday afternoon as engine
No, 1710 was being moved on a
track near the round house the
lever failed to work and the engine
ran oil' the the track over part
of the turn table, pit Fortunately
it struck the turntable before it
had gotten far enough into the pit
to capsize. IOngiue No 070 was on
the turntable at the time and as its
front trucks were shoved oil by
the force of the blow which engine
No. 1710 struck it helped to lock
the table and guatd against any
farther damage. Both engines and
the table were damaged and it took
some time to get engine No. 1710
back on to the track.
A special car on train No. I Inst
night contained a committee of
citizens from western Pennsylvania
who were going out to meet the

A fund of $50,000 has been raised
with which to pay all the expenses
of the regiment on its trip iroiu
San Francisco to Pennsylvania and
to give them a royal welcome" at
New Brighton. The regiment is to
be brought home in special trains
and the work of mustering out will
be completed on the trains, a pay
car being attached to each train.

Senator Chas. A. Mucltlbriinner, of
Pittsburgh. The others who com
posed it were J. A. Herron, of Mo-
nongeliela City, W. B. Cuthbert
son. of New Brighton, R. W. Cook,

nesburg, L. Clawsou and W. C.
