There nro ninny interesting facts con
cerning the great Uurhngton Btriko which
Imvo never been given to the public , unu the
tiuo history may as well ho written now us
nt any other timo. Outho27tli of last Feb
ruary ! W2 engineers peremptorily quit work
on the routes of the Chicago , Burlington &
Qulncy railroad company. On the tiimo
duto 283 Ill-omen also quit their posts , and
then tlio brotherhood of Engineers ! and
have sustained them. Since the
date on which the strike practically com
menced the authorities of the road have em
ployed 40(1 ( engineers , known as "scabs" the
world over , ut n iruarautcod salary of $4 per
day ; tlmt is , the o who wore employed im
mediately following the 27th. Schedule- pay ,
liotvovor , iras resumed on the 20th of May ,
when men tvuro paid in accordance with
schedules In effect prior to the date
of the strike's commencement. Pilots
were sent with engineers Unacquainted with
the roud nt least two round trips , but they
wore not used regularly nnd no duto can bo
given when they were done away with. Dur
ing March' , lt > 87 , switchmen joined the
"brotherhood of strlUcm. " When questioned
as to the cause of their striking they re
mained in dignillcd silence. They gnvo their
cause Into the hands of the engineers nnd
llrcmen for safe , keeping , ami there are. no
records to show a faith not kept. The Ib-bt
cuards from outside thu stuto arrived at
McCook on the morning of February ! W. It
is well , porhap.s , to denominate those guards
I'inlcortou's ' detectives , for they nro better
known under thin name. There were 'M )
men employed to guard the companies'
property , ninety dt whom were members of
I'inliorUm's police force , mid thirty wcro sec
tion niou who guarded buildings auU water
tunics. About one hundred und llftymcu were
Huarn in ns deputies or special policemen ,
This can also bo Bald of uu men from out-
sldu'thu ntuto with the exception of throe ,
nt Curtis' , who were there but n few days to
look nfter company property. This scrap of
liUtory Is authentic. The Uurllngton au
thorities will not deny its truth. U will dote
to bear In mint ] tlio large number of en
gineers employed In excess of the striking
brotherhood , A sfgnlilcnnt story Is wrapped

Old Time Elections in Now York.
Brooklyn Eagle : Dr. Howard Crosby ,
taking an optimistic view of the ad
vance of civilization , says : .
"Whon I was a boy , elections in Now
York lasted three days and always
meant a riot. A decent-looking man
couldn't get to the polls. Now you can
go und cast your ballot as quietly as if
buying a ribbon in a Broadway store , "
In the Eagle of this date you print
the foregoing , with the suggestion that
there may bo in it "something of exas
peration. " As , at the time referred to ,
Dr. Crosby and I wore both school boys
and near neighbors , I can vouch for the
( aot that , as descriptive of the particu
lar locality in which wo both lived ,
there is no exaggeration whatever in
his statement , though ho probably errs
in supposing that the state of things
which he saw in his own vicinage was
general throughout the city. The Cros
bys lived at that time in Monroe street ,
near the screw doclf , in the old Seventh
ward of Now York. This was a ward of
evenly balanced politics , as likely to go
one way or another , and it was a fam
ous lighting ground.
The polln were opened near the river
front , and wore usually surrounded by a
mass of longshoreman nnd roughs of the
democratic persuasion , who made things
very uncomfortable indeed for the
wings. There was then but one polling
place in each ward , and in ( tensely
populated wards like the seventh three
days wore no'more than enough to got
the votes in. There was no police to
speak of , a few superannuated "Char
lies" or "loathorheads , " or special de
puty sheriffs , stood around the polls ,
but at the lifdt onset of a crowd of the
"indomitable , " armed with shillalahs ,
they Hod with all the precipitation that
their feeble limbs permitted.
Tlio whiga wore in those days sneered
at as the silk-stocking party , and any
solid-looking citi/.on chid in the black
broadcloth then in vogue and not
known as a democrat , was presumed to
bo a whig , and found the way to the
ballot-box a very hard road to travel. I
well remember that at one hotly-con
tested election Bill Harrington , the
famous lighting man , soloctcd a small
but most effective corps of pugilists ,
and in the afternoon of the third day
led them in a charge upon the oh-
struotioiiibls , and speedily opened the
way to a battalion of wings , who had
boon vainly struggling for days to got
tho.r vptosin.
Suoh'aro the scenes which pro Font
themselves to Dr. Crosby as ho looks
back on the past , nnd if they were not
general they were repeated in bcvoral
other wards , notably the "Bloody
Sixth. " Hero the contention ran BO
high that the arsenal in Centre street
was stormed on the last day of ono elec
tion , and the arms were distributed for
defensive purposes. The militia on that
occasion had to be called out to sup
press the riot.
Ho Wanted It.
Chicago Tribune ; "Is it possible ,
sir , " tald the visitor , as ho looked ut a
specimen in the museum of the Scienti
fic association , "that this is a putrltlcu-
tlon ? "
' Yes sir , " replied the custodianwith
a pardonable pride , "that is u genuine
petrified 1mm. "
"Is It for sale ? " demanded the visitor ,
excitedly. "If it is , I want it , I don't
care n darn what It costal"

San Francisco Examiner : "Not
ago , " siiid JolinV. . Wcbbor , of Koditie ,
liiht night , "I noticed a floating news
paper paragraph headed , 'To Ppldn by
Rail. ' It referred to an nil-rail route
from Vancouver , B. C. , via Capo Prince
of Wales , across Bchring Sen , down the
coast of Asia.
"I want to say that tins schoino is not
as visionary na it might seem. I have
boon in Siberia a good denlund am only
live months from there. I just got here
a week ago. This road is a perfectly
feasible thing , nnd it will bo built. The
Russians nro now constructing a road to
Irkutsk , Siberia , nnd it is the intention
to o.xtond it to connect with the line
from East Capo , on the Asiatic side of
Behring Straits. This would muko ti
distance of 1,000 miles.
"Now , the snow on the Alaska faido is
not bad. It does not get very deep
along the coast tit any season of the
year. The Japan currents fix that , as id
well known , the winters tit Sitka , Fort
Wrangcl und till along there being very
light.
O As for the Boliring Straits , they are
but thirty miles wide , and for a good
deal of the year boats could easily run ,
buttis the straits tire dotted with islands
the track can bo laid unon thorn , nnd
the intervening points bridged. The
depth of the water tit no point is over
twenty fathoms , and this presents no
dilllculty that cannot bo overcome.
From Capo Prlnco of Wales to Poicin is
but 1,000 miles. What is that , when it
comes to railroad building11 !
I had boon several tlmos at Pokin and
Ycddo , through which the Minneapolis
parties , now projecting this enterprise ,
intend to run. i Juvvo also boon down
the Himalaya nioun'tajns , through what
is known us the most frozen nnd dcbo-

assert that the products of the country
will abundantly justifv the cost.
There are coal , iron" timber and furs ,
and you got down n little further and

co'nes ' along this year it will find the
big trunk lines prepared to receive it.
For several months the oIlicialH in the
department of motive power have boon
inspecting various kinds of snow plows ,
and many experimentshavo _ boon made.
One very interesting experiment , made
not long ape in New York in tbo pres
ence of a largo number of railroad of
ficials , was with shaved ice , whicli was
as near real snow as could bo had at
that season of the year. The ollicials
of the Pennsylvania seem at last to
have hit upon just the kind of a loco-
inotivo plow they want. It is in
use in the northern part of Now York ,
and ofllcials from the Altoona shops
Iiavo been detailed to make a final and
complete examination.
A prominent oftiuer of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad company Buys that this
steam plow was used very success
fully by the railroads in the northern
part of Now York , where largo snow
drifts are no novelty , and nothing can
bo done until the report is made by the
Altoona ollicials.
It is also proposed by the Penn
sylvania to keep during the winter
whatever kind of machine that is
adopted in readiness , and when signs
of a storm are at hand they will bo sent
out along the lines to bomo siding or
way fetation where the trains generally
meet w i th a great deal of trouble. Thus
it is expected that by constant running
back and forth the tracks may bo kept
clear and trulllc not impeded.
Between Ilarrisburg and Altoona are
several canyons and in every snow
storm thcso places fill up very rapidly ,
often causing the traitib to bo hotirb
Into. It is thought that , at thcso places
fehcds like those on the Northern Pacific
will bo erected and thcso in a measure
will make traveling during a snow
storm more certain.
Another Pennsylvania ofllclal said
that in 18'i'j there was a snow storm ,
and if anything more severe than the
one in 188H , nnd during all this interval
( thirty-threo years ) this part of the
country has been free from blizzards.
"But this , " said ho , "Is no criterion ,
nnd though wo do not expect a ropoiti-
tion of last March , wo tire getting ruady
to meet one if it should come , and if it
docs it will not have so much fun with
us. "
Keep to tlio liott.
Philadelphia Record : "Keep to the
left" is the direction for engineers on n
few railroads in this country , but with
tlio great majority nil trains use the
right-hand track , It is tin English
adaptation , but has not mot with profes
sional favor in the United States. On
the Reuding'ti lines some confusion is
caused by the fact that certain trains
use both systems in different portions of
their runs. Whatever lie the explana
tion , there nro onlv n few double-track
lines in the United States which copy
the English system. Among the number
are tlio Lake Shore , Reading main line
nnd the Old Colony. When the Penn
sylvania road secured its Amboy. divi
sion the practice on that route was for
trains going eastward to take the north
ern track , but in order to secure uni
formity throughout the system the rule
was reversed. The English system in
vogue i on the main utom of the Heading
road is not used , on any other lines of
that company. It was not so long tigo
that on the road to PotUvIlle the tracks
crossed one another at two points
Plunnixvlllcand Reading butthisdan
gerous form of grade crossing has now
boon done uway with. The reabon for
the anoinnlly win that when a second
track war originally laid a bed could
only bo secured at some points by
cutting further into the wall
of rock rising from the Schuyl-
klll , The other method was therefore
adopted of filling in on the river sldo.

The finest and clicipest line of Soaps
and Perfumes in Omaha ,
suited that the newly laid tracks had to
cross the old ones. At this day tnc
Williamsport express coining down over
the Reading road keeps to the left hand
track until Bridgeport is reached.
There it crosses tlio river to the Phila
delphia and Norristown division , , pro-i
ceoding the re t of the way on the right
hand track. It is said that this prac
tice is decidedly perplexing to engi
neers. It is urged by the advocates of
the loft hand rule that the English sys
tem is the best because the engineer
then has nn unobstructed view of both
tracks us lie bits on the right huud side
of his engine.
l-'or the other side it is claimed that
in the matter of the various signal po.st-j
where the tracks are near together
there is hardly room between , and it
becomes necessary to place them on tno
outer side of the track. Unless the en
gineer is on the same side with his sig
nal ho luiB disadvantages to contend
with , and the safety of his train is not
so well secured. There are further ad
vantages when the engineer is passing
a signal tower and needs bomclim.03 to
have an unobstructed view of tlio opera
tor. It is sometimes the ca&c that owing
to the physical construction of the road
there are dangerous pointu which have
to bo avoided , if possible , by the heavi
est tralllo , and that is a factor that baa
to be considered. Moit engineers , how
ever , seem to regard the problem as in
volving little of the practical and de
pending for its .solution largely on the
eccentricity of railroad managers. The
great dogidoratum is that there should
bo uniformity of practice , as engineers
nro constanllv passing from ono road to
another. Wlioro systems differ they
nro confused. .

Chicago Tribune : Displayed in the
show window of a State street photo
grapher. Chicago , is a picture so re
volting in its subject that the coldest ,
most unsympathetic man will glance at
it and then turn uway with a nervous
shudder.
The photograph represents a clmrnnl
house , the wallsof which are hung with
black Hags on which the skull nnd eroKS
bones appear. Sovcnil mottoes adorn
the wall and their language adds to the
horror of the scone , tn the con tor of
the room is a rude blnr on which lies the
mutilated and partially dissected re
mains of a corpse. Around the table
nro n number of young men , evidently
medical etudnnts. Each wotin > u grin ,
and the incongruity adds to the hid-
cousncfcs of the picture.
A Tribune1 reporter stood looking at
the photograph few days ago when
ho was joined by the artist Fu whosu
window it was exhibited.
"Looking at my 'chamber of horrors , '
ehV" ho asked. "That picture has tv
history and marks tn epoch in my oth
