Would Not Allow the Engines to be
Abused.
A railroad man yesterday related a
' rery amuflog Incident In the life of
the celebrated Jim Mulholland who
Is new dead but was atone time mas-
ter mechanic of a division of a road
leading Into Reading Pa. Jim as he
was familiarly known could not stand
the strain of seeing any engine abused
and he watched the engineers under
bis ccarge very closely. One day
wnlle pA-mru; through tne yards his
attention was attracted by a struggling
engine. Wnile the engine
was kicking s ma car into a siding
in a forward motion the engineer re-
ceived a eitrntl to stop. Ila reversed
the lever and applied the steam. This !
... I .. at. . W nM a n H u wc a 1 yt. I rt or rwv nH. I
lnptr.at angered Jim to a fever heat !
and running to tne engine ne cauea
out: "H?y thare yez. Hey thare."
TLo engineer's head came through
the cab window and his ears met the
following: ''Git off that engine
ye d skunk ye git off an
here's yer tolme check." He
tblog a piece of paper hur-
riedly and handed it to the discharged
eniueer. A few days after tbe engi-
neer called at the office of the master
mechanic and pleaded to be reinstated
but It wu no use. Jim swore he would
have nothing more to do witb such a
hearties man. The engineer eon-
eluded that he would go down
the road a few divisions and
seek employment. He boarded a
passenger train and when tbe conduc-
tor called on him for his fare he pro-
' ducti tbe piece of paper given him
by Jim. The conductor could read
Jim's signature and that was all. He
blthisiios nervously and then nod
ding his head he passed tbe paper back
to the engineer. On tbe next division
the same papar was handed to tbe con
ductor with tbe same result. He could
read Jim's signature and mat was all.
and was afrid to dishonor It. After
spending some time looking for work in
that Dart or tne country ana not
being able to find - it
the engineer returned to
Reading on tbe same paper. Upon ar
riving there he again called upon Jim
and asked him if he could not return to
work. Jim weakened and the engineer
wad irlven another chance. After be
hud been at work a few days he called
npoi Jim and producing the paper ask
ed him to read It. Jim tooK tne paper
from the engineer's hand and after
looklnir at it for some time asked:
"Whin did yez git this?" "Ttaeday you
took me oti the engine repueu me
engineer. "At coorse av coorse. yex
dum fool. Tnat's yer tolme check.
A Wild Rumor.
It was reported loG.H. the shops Sat
urday that trere were thirty cases of
smalloox in El Paso and that the pat-
tlenls were all dying. The reported epl-
demic was being discussed on all that
ides. some of the employes said
they knew right along that the papers
were keeping the matter quiet and that
there existed here many more than
thirty cases if tha truth was
only known. Othe-s were just the
opposite in thair belief maintaining
that there we-e no Buuh a number of
cases exlstlLg her j. When a reporter
arrived there on hi dally rounds he
was q i. p'ion d on all des concerning
tbr riuuor. Oae employe said that if
i. r of his family was unfortunate
eni-iijjti tjcouirack the disease that he
woui.i not allow tht member to be re-
moved io the hospital. "I would kill
the first man who attempted to enter
my house tor the purpose of removing
one of my family to the hospital"
he ald. 'i am as able to look after a
smallpox patient as they are and 1
never hear of nyone coming out of
the pest ho'i-o alive." Lite Saturday
evening a man was taken sick in tbe
carpt.tf rthop and was compelled to
go home. Rumor had it that.he had
smallpox and developed mo e excite-
ment among tbe employ ts. Today the
nervou-uess had considerably died out
and they wl 1 nit believe everything
in that respect from cow on.
Broke His Nose.
Ed Reynolds a machinist helper at
theG. H.t had a painful accident hap-
pen to him last Saturday afternoon
lie was endeavoring to remove a bolt
from a tank which he was repairing
when the wrench slipped from the bolt
head and struck him on the left side of
the nosi forcing it several degrees
In the direction of his right ear. Dr.
Turner d "-eased the wound and Mr.
Reynolds reported for work this morn-
ing badly disfigured but still in the
ring.

A railroad man suggests that a telep-
hone line ba extended to the pest house
so that imformation may be had con-
cerning friends there. "We hear of a
friend going there and we can hear no
mora of net no until Dr. Race makes his
report to the council and perhaps then
the man is dead and buried he said
and 1 do not consider that proper."
"Why would it not be a good idea"
said a railroad man this morning "for
everyone to decorate their residences
and places of business on Thanksgiving
Day. We will give tbanks principally
for our glorious victory over Spain in
which our national colors figured eo
prominently and I think it would be
no more than right to decorate with
those colors on that day."

Back From Alaska.
Theodore Lester returned yesterday
on the Southern Pacific from Alaska
by way of Skaguay Seatle and San
Francisco. He left in June last and
worked cn the new railroad running
from Skaguay over the mountains. He
left Skaguay about Ootober 20 on the
steamer Topeka which carried only
about 75 passengers and only a very
few of them had made money. The
steamer fare now on that trip is
only 312.00 first-class and 35.00 second-
class when it ued to be 340.00 and
325.00. Mr. Lester says there has
been much sickness In Alaska this
year mostly of scurvy meningitis and
typhoid rfever and many have died of
starvation or because they did not
have the proper food and were not
able to buy it. He was paid 330.00
an hour when working on the railroad
and his board cost 31.00 a day. He
did not become infatuated with the
gold-seeking craze but says that if he
had been a single man he would have
remained in Alaska until he made his
strike. Mr. Lester is looking well and
has evidently been enjoying the best of
health.
