The ten-wheel freight engine 604 of the Lehigh valley road exploded at North Sector, New York, Saturday morning, killing the conductor, fireman and fatally injuring the engineer. He let the water run low in his boiler, and then started his injector to working. Wm. York, the fellow who was thrown or fell from a moving train at this station and badly injured, last week, was able to be up and around, Tuesday, when, with some money sent him by his mother, he boarded the passenger train for his home in South Sioux City, Nebr.—Benkelman News. A number of the Q engineers who left Galesburg to take positions on the Le high valley have returned to their runs. They expected to get passenger runs, or at least to improve their condition, but found they were expected to sign a con tract that did not specify the nature of the service. This seemed too risky, and so they turned back. Another change in the running of the passenger trains go into effect, Sunday. Train going west will arrive here about to a. m., going east about same time as before, 3 p. m. This change is made back to former running for the benefit of the local traffic along the line, giving them the day to travel in. By this change pas sengers for Lincoln, Omaha and the east will be compelled to lay over in Holdrege until next morning, also coming west the same lay-over is made for the Cheyenne line.—Curtis Enterprise. The grim destroyer entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Max Anton on Monday evening and robbed them of one of their infant twin daughters. The remains of the little one were laid away in peaceful Longview on Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Coffman conducted services at the house. The parents are deeply sympathized with in their sorrow. Later—Wednesday night the remaining twin followed her little sister to the spirit laud, and thus a double burden of sorrow is lain upon the broken hearted parents. Rev. Coffman conducted services at 3 o’clock,Thursday afternoon, at the residence, and the little remains were reunited in Longview. Notwithstanding the close times sev eral railway extension projects which have been under contemplation are being revived, owing to the cheapness of steel rails and other railway construction ma terial. In the past few days the price of steel rails has dropped $8 per ton, and quite a war is now on between the man ufacturers. It is intimated that owing to the unsettled condition of its Union Pacific connections the Northwestern company is considering an extension of its system to Denver from Hastings,Neb. That corporation has plenty of money to build the extension and equip it, and there is a probability that some steps may be advanced if matters are not sat isfactorily arranged with the Union Pac ific.—Denver Times.

Tuesday he drove over south of here to see a sister’s farm, taking i the Beaver valley branch passenger for the east. George Kelley, agent for the B. & M. at Btrtrand, was sandbagged and robbed of $1,000 Tuesday night. The money ar rived at io o’clock p. m. on the passen ger train from Omaha and was directed to the Bank of Bertrand. Kelley was slugged after the train departed and as he was entering the depot.

A skating par ty was also a feature of the club gather ing, this week. McKeighan has, this week, through his attorney, paid that $50 bill to the Lind ell hotel, which any man drawing $5,000 a year ought to have paid ten mouths ago.
