They will visit briefly at McCook.—Oxford Standard. His many friends here will learn with regret of the accident to Will Krauter at the Aurora shops, recently, in which he lost two fingers. Word was received at Western division headquarters, Friday, of the birth of a prom ising son and heir-apparent to ftoadmaster and Mrs. W. W. Josselyn at Orleans. Engineer C. A. Green, who was injured in the Fairmont wreck, first of last week, died in Lincoln on last Thursday, being buried by the company at that point on the following day. There is good reason to believe that the Burlington system that never does anything by halves when it starts in will next spring erect a large depot and eating house north of present site.—Hastings Democrat. The Pullman company will soon equip the Burlington with twenty new drawing room coaches, which are the finest ever made. They are lighted by electricity, heated by steam, and have every modern convenience. The Belief department statement for De cember is out and shows disbursements for the month $2S,199. Total since June 1, 1S89, including the above S744 544.25, while the number of cases of disability carried over to this year are 599. The company is gradually pursuing the policy of gradually replacing the present wooden and piling bridges by iron and stone structures, and quite an amount of material is now being dropped between here and Cul bertson for that purpose. The First National Bank of Spearfish, S. D„ has been established with a capital of fif ty thousand dollars paid in. Several promi nent railroad men of this division are among the incorporators. Our agent Ji. i{. Woods of Sheridan, has five thousand dollars in the venture.—Alliance grip. S. I/. Knox of Wauneta has been given an annual pass by Superintendent Campbell in recognition of his services to the company in the runaway cars episode of some weeks ago, in notifying the company’s agent there of the passage of the car, the company being thus able to avert any accident by being on the lookout lor the runaways, and finally cap turing the same. O. W. Stoddard, who was injured at Alli ance, last Thursday morning, died at that place on Saturday night. The remains arrived here last night, and the funeral will occur on Sunday. All the bereaved ones have great sympathy from friends here, where they formerly lived, and where the deceased man was once in the company’s employ. Ye editor had the pleasure of reviewing the plans of our Supt. Phelan’s new home to be built this coming spring upon his property west of the school house. It will be a two story structure 30x36 feet in the main with an addition 18x26 feet and will contain seven teen rooms besides the closets. It will be complete with all modern improvements and an ornament to our town, worthy of a city.— Alliance Grip. it is a remarkable tact that one of the fast est, if not the fastest, locomotive now run ning was built 45 years ago. Its driving wheels are feet, cylinders 17‘4 inches with two inch stroke, and lias easily attained a speed of 75 miles an hour. It is interesting to know that the engine is still working the forty-five minute express of the London and Northwestern between Manchester and Liverpool, one of the fastest services in the kingdom, and it is stated that still, after her forty-five years service with a load equal to her power, she is capable of running at the highest possible speed yet attained. The Burlington is in the field with the latest edition to the car service between Chicago and St. Paul. Two compartment cars have been added to the evening trains, eaeh car having ten compartments and each compart ment containing two double berths. The woodwork is Vermillion, mahogany, rose wood and ash. The upholstering is in em bossed plush of peacock blue, old gold, green and drab. The compartments are reserved exclusively for ladies traveling alone. The Pmtscli system of gas is used in gold-plated trimmings and lamps. Tlie cars are termed the best ever turned out by the Pullman works. The new chair car in which the heating ap paratus blew up at Red Cloud, Monday evening, went through Lincoln at 7:45 yes terday morning on its way to Plattsmouth for repairs. The Baker heater made a sorry reck of one end of the car. A hole about three feet wide was blown out the side, and the portion of the roof that was just over the heater lies in fragments out near Red Cloud just where it landed after being struck with a hurtling slab of boiler iron over two inches thick. The sensation of the passen gers who were involuntary spectators of the occurrence can be best imagined. It this thing gets common it may be expected to ap pear in next year’s “only startling realistic play.”—Wednesday’s Lincoln Journal. PEOPLE YOU KNOW.

He was to have been one of the crew of a freight going east at about two o’clock this morning, but while the cars were in motion in making a coupling of the air hose preparatory to starting out, his coat was caught under one of the wheels and he was drawn down to the rail and one pair of trucks passed over his left arm crushing along the left side of his body and inflicting a severe scalp wound. He was carried into Agent Phelp’s room and Drs. W. H. Smith and W. K. Miller summoned. The left arm was amputated and liis other injuries dressed, but it is hardly possible that he will survive.
