NEW RAILWAY RECORD Burlington Train Does Some Speedy Running. $FIHETY-1TINE MILES AH HOUR. Retails of Fli lit of an Engine and Nine Cars Which Covered 14.S , Miles In Nine Minutes, Kate Being 8S.66 Miles an Hour Pasaengem Hold Watches and Verify Conduci- , or's Report. The report of a run of fifteen miles at the rate of nearly 100 miles an hour, iwhich came to headquarters the other day from the western division of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail road, was so startling that it was dis credited by the Chicago officials and a detailed report called for. The result is the following report from Conductor G. II. Burns, which established a new world's record for runs of fourteen miles and over, the nearest approach to it being the run Of the Lehigh Valley Black Diamond express in April, 1S07, when 43.90 miles were made at an average rate of eighty miles an hour. Conductor Burns says: "Train No. G left Denver for Chicago March 24 ten minutes late, having to wait for a through California car from the D. and K. G. railway. "A heavy wind prevailed to Akron, 112 miles from Denver, which put us out from Akron thirty minutes late. No special instructions were given as to speed, because it is customary when late to run from Akron to Wray, a dis tance of fifty-four miles, at the rate of seventy to seventy-five miles an hour. ,We passed Eckley, thirtj-nine miles east of Akron, running at seventy-five miles an hour. Between Eckley and Wray, a distance of 14.8 miles, I was In the observation car. In the car were several gentlemen talking about the run, Mr. Arthur Johusou of Denver, Mr. Wells Atiet of Los Angeles and II. C. Bash, tratiie manager of the Colora do Midland railway, and Mr. Foley of Omaha. "We passed Eckley at T:5G p. m., all hands holding watches corroborating. It seemed so short when the whistle was blown that Mr. Johnson remarked, speaking of the engineer. 'Oh. well, he is not doing bo much as we thought he might.' Mr. Johnson believed we had Only reached Itobb, a distance of 6.1 miles from Eckley, but at that moment the train dashed over a well known bridge between whistling post and de pot. Then I got up and said, 'Gentle men, we are at Wray, and you have ridden 14.S miles fasier than was ever made before.' We had made the dis tance in exactly nine minutes, or at the rate of CS.Oii miles an hour. "I then went to the oiher end of the train, where Mr. Lindsay of Pittsburg, manager for Mr. Andrew Carnegie, and a party of seventeen were occu pying special car Grassmere. Mr. Lind say was ( :i the platform and when I told him of the record said: 'Well, that .was a terrific burst of speed. I thought rwe were Cviiig.' " The train consisted of engine, mail car, baggage car. two reclining chair cars, special car Grassmere, three sleep ing cars and a dining car, nine cars in all. It was the eastbound fast express for Chicago, the reverse of the famous train westbound, the .Burlington's No. 1, fast express Chicago to Denver. The Brave Toons Canadian. The name of the young Canadian hero who. refusing to surrender to the Boers the other day in South Africa, fought until his ammunition was ex hausted, then smashed his rifle and died, was Charles Napier Evans of Port Hope. It deserves to be writ large on the scroll of fame, says the Ottawa (Canada) Citizen. Before he enlisted as a trooper of the king he was a young Canadian schoolmaster. Both his Christian names and surname would indicate that he came of good fighting stock, which certainly", did not suffer deterioration in being ' trans planted to Canada. SPRING GARDENING TIPS. In planning the new garden leave plenty of room for spreading. Peonies, for instance, will double themselves before long. Plan and choose colors carefully. "Plenty of color is desirable, but con tradictory colors running rampant de tract from fine effects. Rubber gloves are fine for the hands. but not for the plants. Unless of the softest and most pliable variety they should be removed when handling roots or flowers. Avoid straight lines as much as pos sible. There is no straight line in na ture. It is for this reason that groups and masses are so much better than formal or set beds. Water the ground thoroughly when the springing plants seem to need it, but be gentle and do not use hydrant iwater. Baby flowers are easily chilled and broken. Ilardy roses should be set out early. Early planting means early blooming as a rule. But it is well to wait until nil danger of frost is over, and protec tion should be provided for all chilly nights. The garden pinks are among the most satisfactory of the old fashioned flow ers coming Into renewed favor. They bloom plentifully, are fine in shape, 'size and color, and they come again cheerfully year after year. ' Well started hollyhocks will bloom this season if the plants purchased are told enough. Make sure of this before buying. Nothing could possibly please E flower or color lover .better than a Irow or mass of these simple and yet Charming beauties. Chicago Tribune.
