Two causes have tended to materially de- crcaso the number of families and single Individuals appl > lng for aid from the county this winter. The principal cause Is the fact that every able-bodied man who wanted to work during the Inst twelve months was able to secure employment on ono of the different railroads. The second cause IB attributed to the mild winter. George Mil ler , the supervisor ot the poor for Kane township , reports that the number of ap plicants for aid on his books Is Ices by more than half the usual number which at thle season of the jcar have to bo supplied weekly with the necessities of life. At pres ent Iho llsl does not Include more than fifty families , all told Many of the'so have been forced to seek aid owing to sickness or from the fact that Iherc Is no man at the head of the household able to provide for It. The number of what the supervisor desig nates as "old pensioners" on the county's bounty Is about the same. These , as Mr , Miller says 'Wo have with Ua all the ( time " Many of the families who have hith erto been accustomed to receive aid from the county this winter have applied for coal alone , being able to provide themselves wltli the necessary groceries and other articles ol food which the county usually supplied them with Prom ten to fifteen families on the supervisor's list are receiving nolblng bul fuel , but It is possible that before the winter - tor Is over they will ha.vo to be provided with food. The supervisor atao has on his books o few temporary pensioners , owing to sick ness , but this list Is not nearly as largo a In former years There. Is about the usual number of county patlenls In Ihe Women1 ! Chrlsllan assoclallon and St. Bernard's hos- pllal , and they cost the county on an average of about $40 per week to support. The county Is , In addition to giving food and fuel , obliged to provide houses for nboul ten families The average renl of Ihe dom iciles provided for Ihls class of Ihe countj charges Is nboul $4 per monlh. Lusl vvlnlcr Ihe office of the superv'aor ol the poor wns overrun with translonl pau pers seeking food and Iraneportatlon , bul Ihls wIntei there have been so far but verj few such cases This IB attributed to the work given by Ihe local railroads. While Iho state of affairs In regard to th ( poor in Kane township this winter Is mosl satisfactory , the snmo cannot be said of the counly nt large and the poor fund Is already overdrr-wn $3,200. The supervisors bsfon adjourning Saturday ordered $4,000 trans ferred from the general to the poor fund The board U confronted with a somewhal serious condition , as the levy fop the pool fund this year Is only 1 ralfl as against m mills levied heretofore. The members ol the board are of the opinion that the only solution of the pauper Juestlon and Ihe vvaj lo properly care for the county charges It the establishment of a county poor font that , with proper management , could hi made partially self-supporting. H Is verj probable that the board , when It meets Ir adjourned session nexl week , may take soms action In Ihis dlrccllon nnd prepare a propo sltlon to be submitted to the voters of thlf county.

Gideon Hawlcy. the oldest locomotive en gineer on the Lake Shore & Michigan South ern railway between Buffalo and Chicago and probably the oldest engineer In Iho United States , Is soon lo bo retired on a pension of $97 per month. For fiftj-fivo > oars , relates the Chicago Chronicle , Mr Haw ley has been a railroader reader , for fifty > cars nn engineer on the Lake Shore road He Is 73 years of age and Is a resident of Conncaut , O. He has wit nessed the rcmirkablo evolution of the steam engine When ho stepped upon his first locomotive- 1S4G ns n fireman on the Michigan Central there was no cab for his protection from the weather. A canopy stretched upon four upright rods was above his head , but aside from this scant covering In snow , rain and wind the engine crew was obliged to rely upon storm coats. The sand box which totlay occupies n prominent posi tion on lop of the boiler was then n wooden pall The fireman would fill It at a sand bank and when occasion required Its use hn would stand Upon the fronl end ot the cn- glno and strew the snnd over the rails as tlm early day train moved along nt Its average - ago rate of perhaps six miles an h ur. There was no headllghl to pierce the darkne-hs There was no caboose on n freight train , for there were neither brakeman - man nor conductor , all the responsibility resting upon the engineer and fireman. Brakemen were uncccssary , for there were no brakes on freight cars. The only b-ako on such a train was a lever on Iho engine , which set brakes on the four wheels of the lender. This lever was worked by Ihe fire man bearing his welghl upon It A cowcatcher - catcher was a part of every engine. It con sisted of a number of short pointed rds about thrco feet In length , which oflcn came In conlacl wllh stray cattle. Conductors on passenger trains fifty vrars ago wore known us captains. It was their duty then as now lo Inko the tickets. In these dajs they wore no uniforms. Probably no engineer living has a better record In his particular calling lhan Mr. Haw ley Allhough ho has seen scores of wrecks his engine has never participated in any largo enough to scarce bear mention. He has scarcely taken a vacation In the last half century and when he did it was for only a dav or two at a time. He has been a man ot remarkable health , loting practi cally no tlmo on that account. Ho loves his englno as much today as he did the first tlmo that he stepped to the throltlc and nal- Isflcd his early amblllon to become an en gineer. With the debut of the first railroad In Ohio llr. Haw ley came to this state. This road was then known as the Mad Hlvcr & Lake Erie and Is now a part of the Big Pour sjotcm On April 1 , 1S49 , after a jear's serv ice as fireman on this road , Mr. Hawley was promoted lo bo an engineer. In 1852 ho came into the employ of the Lake Shore , which was then constructed only oa far east as Conneaut , O. In these days there were no telegraph lines for the use of railroads. Trains didn't ruceive their orders from one stallon to an other as they do nowadajs by the aid of the telegraph. . Tbon they ran according to the time card and no train knew "whether the ono It was to pass was on time or hours late. All eastbound trains had the right of way , as thev do loday. There was bul a single Irack between the two terminal points , with numerous sidetracks. A train would run to a sidetrack , where it was the cuslom for It lo pass another train , and there wait a stated number of minutes. If In that tlmo the train lo pass was not yet In sight the run would be continued to another sidetrack , It being the duty of the entire train crew to keep a steady lookout for approaching preaching danger. The Interlocking switches and numerous safety appliances of our day were unknown then. It required careful railroaders readers then even more lhan It does today. As has been stated , there were no railroad telegraph lines In use In the early dajs of railroading. There was onp telegraph com pany's line which passed through this sec tion of the country , and when the railroad company wanted to send a message It wore obliged to pay the same rnto as lhat paid by a prlvalo clllzen. Engines In early days were not built for speed The aveiage speed o a freight was six miles on hour and of a passenger train twenty miles an hour. Occasionally a speed record was made even ns great as n mile a minute. The same stations which are now on the llno'belwoen Buffalo and Chicago were also stations In the early da > s , although the towns were then very small and the cities no larger than many of the present day towns. Mr Haw ley well remembers his first visit to Chicago. It was In 184G. The west was then wild. Chicago was a country town. Farmers were coming In with six and eight horses drawlnc their produce to market. FORECAST OF THE WEATHER Pnlr Toilnj , Follo nl oil Tiiendnj by Partly Clonily rrllh Vnrlnlilo Winds.

( Special Tele- ; ram. ) The republican caucus to nominate L candidate for United States senator will be icld at the state house tomorrow night at i o'clock. While the deathkncll of the Jummlns boom was sounded last night after ho result of the speakcrshlp light became < nc\sn , jot the manngcis ot the DCS Molnes nan announce tonight that their candidate , vlll remain In the fight to the bitter end. : n fact , ono of Cummins' managers declared onlght that the sensation ot the campaign , vould bo sprung by them tomorrow. The jonst of the Cummins man has caused no inxlety among the supporters of Ocar , nl- hough that organization will see that no ireaks In their lines occur. U Is possible now by the icsult ot last light to forecast pretty accurately the vote IB between the two candidates. Of the ilghty-one republican members of the house , 10 ono expects that a single one of the 'orty-thrco who were lined up Kolldlj In : aucus for the Gear candidate for speaker tvlll desert Gear when Iho time comes to loto on the main question nt Issue. Of .ho thlrly-elght men who voted for Eaton , 'our have- given their personal pledges to [ Joar that they would vote for him and two Uhers are Instructed to vote for him , and It Is believed that ono more will cast a 3ear ballot when the time comes. ( icnr'n l.lst. This will give Gear forty-nine , and pos sibly fifty votes In the house , as follows : Anderson of Warren , A > res of Chlckasavv , Baker or Ca's , Barrlnger of Palo Alto , Ucngaton of Jefferson , Black of Mills , Blake- uore of Ta > lor , Bow en ot Allamakee , Boyeen it Audubon , Buchanan of Wapello , Cartel ) f Sioux , Coburn of Cherokee , Cold of Tama , Bowles of Kossuth , Crouse o.f Adamf , Dowe jf Ljnn , Dunham of Delaware , Edwards ol Buller , Gibson of Union , Graft of Pag , Har- tiart of Benton , Hassellqulst of Lucas , Haw ) : of Jasper , HInkIc of Wayne , Hum of Cerrc Qordo , Jenks of Potlawallamle , Jones ol Mahaska , Keck of Van Buren , Kendall ol Monroe , Letts of Louisa , Lyman of Powe- ihlck , McCurdy of Buchanan , Miller of Cedar , Pattern of Franklin , Payne of Appanoose , [ 'utnam of Pottawattamle , Hoome of Wlnne- ohlek , Scott of Ida , Sokol of Jones , Btrat- ton of Montgomery , Stuckslager of Lynn , Sweet of Bremer , Temple of Clarke , Townet at Ployd , Townscnd of Calhoun , Wilson ol Keokuk , Wilson of Washington , Wlso ol Block Hawk , Wilson of Adalr. The above list shows fortyninevotes ol the house which are believed to be certain for Gear. The Gear votes In the senate will probably be cast by the following sen ators : Alexander of Lynn , Allyn of Rlnggold , Ar- baud of Taylor , Bachman of Palo Alto Blancbard of Mahnska , Brighton of Jet- ferhon , Classen of Marshall.

I3Ntlmutt > at Ciimmlnn' Slreiiiidi. This list shows twenty-five senators whc me believed to be cerlaln to vote for Geai and II IB expected that two others will b ( lidded to the list. There are sovnty-fom members in the above list , all of whom art believed by the Gear managers to be ab solutely certain. Giving to Cummins the three or four doubtful members , his vote would be forty-two to seventy-four foi Gear. The Gear people say this Is the high est figure it will be possible for Cummins to reach and they are disposed to claln that he will not get more than thirty-nine votes all told. The result of last night's caucus for th ( spcdkershlp seems to be generally accepted ns having settled the senatorshlp. The sup' porters of Gear claim the results have car ried out iheir predlcllons in a remarkabli manner nnd Indicate that their claim madi several months ago that Gear would havi seventy-six votes on Joint ballot Is certali to be substantiated E H. Hunter , who hai practically been In chaigo of Gear's cam- palgn , said today. "There can bo no doubt that the sena' torlal fight has been sctlled. The caucm last night did It. Gear Is certainly a dozei votes stronger In the house than was Dr Bowen , on account of the early pledge1 made by some of the Gear men to Eaton There Is no question us lo the situation litho the senate. There are twenty-six out , o thlrty-flvo votes over there among the re publican senators certain to be cast foi Gear. It may bo that this vote will be Increased - creased some , and I would not bo surprlsec If our figures were bettered by some threi or four than the seventy-six which we havi been claiming. Anhow , we have got vote ; enough to defeat a combined opposition , I such a thing were possible , No one has however , suggested a bolt and Instead o there being any danger of a comblnatloi agalnsl the expression of last nlghl's caucus It Is moro probable that the democrats It the house may come in line and make tin vote for Bowen for speaker unanimous. , " C'u in in I UN Will Slick. Former State Auditor McCarthy , Cum' mlns' manager , said In speaking of the determination - termination of Cummins to remain in tin Meld us a senatorial candidate "The members of the legislature who an supporting Cummins stand ready to con tinue the fight for him , They have beet actuated by principle and convlctlot throughout this long campaign and thoj welcome nn opportunity to aland bcfor < the people of the state voting for theli preference for senalor , tnd keeping the re : ord btralght " A rumor has been started that Curn- mlus' friends will not allow his name to g < before the caucus tomorrow nlsht and the all his supporters will remain away frorr the meeting According to the story thi Cummins faction will endeavor to get tin democrats to nupport the Des Moinea mai In the Joint RSEombly.
