ODI oslte C4- a ii . , U .i tA AaF At Fast Time by Gould. Jay Gould's phenomenal run from the Missouri river to Chiw;;o Is still the theme of conversation in railroad circles. It is said that on the united railroads of New Jersey, part of the Pennsylvania, a speed of ninety-two miles an hour was once attained, and that about the same time was made on the Central rail road, of New Jersey. For long dis tance running the Gould special has earned the palm. Superintendent Miller, of the Galena division of the Chicago and Northwestern, has submitted a report of the wouderful run to the general manager's office. The time given on this report was taken by watches on the train. It shows that the train left the Broad way depot in Council Bluffs prompt ly at 7 a. m. and mado the run over the Iowa Division to Clinton in seven hours and Ave minutes. This was a distance of exactly 350 miles. The amount of time lost In taking water and changing engines is not yet reported, but can be safely esti mated at 25 minutes, leaving 400 minutes for a 350 mile run on a sin gle track which carries the heaviest traffic of any road crossing the state of Iowa. From Clinton eastward is where coal was burned, steam made and miles were covered in the most rapid manner ever known on any railroad in the world. Four minutes were lost in changing engines, and at 1:00 p. m. the three-car special pulled slowly across the great bridge over two wide channels of the Mississippi. Fulton, on the east bank of the Mississippi, 2.0 miles, was reached In 4 minute, or at 33 miles an hour, which Is fast time under ordinary circumstances. The next 7.9 miles Union Grove was reached (u 3 min utes. From Round Grove to Rock Island Juncton a speed of 70 miles an hour was attained. All the way to De Kalb a speed varying from 45 tc 76 mile an hour was maintained. Tba distance from Clinton to DeKalb Is 80 mites, and Superintendent Miller's report shows that It was covered In 89 minutes. This would have been lowered to about 76 or 76 minutes but for a hot box on the engine, which broke loose a few in I lea west of De Kalb. Superintendent Miller had thought fully provided two relay engines t foil (W the special at Intervals' of aevisn minute. One of these was taken ou at Dc K lb In placo of tho one with tho hot box, and then commenced what was undoubtedly tho fastest run ever mado In the world. As tho train passed through ouch station the operator sounded his call along tho lino and tho cull was Instantly registered at nil divi sion and registry stations. Gould's fust Hying special, as sounded, start ed from Do Kalb at 2.49, or two minutes later than tho tlaio shown ou Superintendent Miller's report. Tho report of tho rupcrintendent who was on tho train taking time by his watch shows that tho special left DoKalb at 2:47 and mado tho mil to Elburn, 14.3 miles, including tho llmo lost in getting under head way in 10 minutes. Tho superinten dent's roport shows that tho distance from Elburn to La Fox, 3.4 miles, was run In three minutes, or at C8 miles an hour, while tho 5.1 miles from La Fox to Geneva occupied four minutes, the hurricane rate of 70 miles an hour being attained. KASTnSTIlUN INTHEWORLD. Hero Is where 102 miles nn (hour was really made, if tho sending operators at Elburn, La Fox and Geneva aud tho receiving operator at tho Turner registry station are correct. There is everything lu favor of tho correctness of tho opera tors' figures in the minds of many railroad officials. Superintendent Miller was astounded when In formed of theflguresand still thinks that tho reports must have been founded on fractions of minutes and (ho receiving oporator did not take this into account. At any rate everybody agrees that tho fastest lime on tho run was mado from La Fox to Geneva. Some railroad officials say that 102 miles nn hour or even 70 miles an hour is Impossi ble on account of back pressure, while others admit that 80 to 00 miles nu hour, can be mado uuder favorable clrcumstnnces. When Mr. Laying broke tho record with a speed of 82 miles an hour In 1884 many people said thero must bo a mistake and refused to believe it until a few years later when that record was broken. Gould's train loft Turner at 3:20, after astop of three minutes. About r. mile- a minuto was averaged until Elmhurst was reached, when an other terrific burst of speed was at tained. Tho 7.2 miles to Oak Park were covered in six minutes, which makes 72 miles an hour. At exactly 3:15 the special pulled Into the West Fortieth street yard, the run ot 484 miles from Broadway Stutlon, Council BlufTs, haying been made, without deducting stops or slow downs and startiugs or any delays whatever, at the remarkable rato of fifty miles an hour, which is as yet unequaled on long distance ruumng. Some may think that this run was dangerous, but It was not. Ono hour before the train reached each section the track was carefully ex amined and overy main lino switch was put under guard. Crossings wore guarded ou both sides. In tho car the fast motion was not noticed, and tho romarkably fast tlmo be tween Elmhurst and Geneva was not suspected as the train gilded rapidly over the level road, which has few curves or grades aud Is ballasted with picked gravel, now tho standard for roadbeds on the leading railways of the world, as it is more elastic and will stnnd a greater strain with less racking than crushed rock. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Food Report. PSVS baking S Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE GENERAL NEWS NOTES. at The President As An Orator. Harper's Weekly: Those who are disposed to class oratory among the lost arts must re-conslder that con clusion In view of the President's tour. He bos been travelling across tho continent to the Pacific, and every day he has made two or three clever speeches, good-natured yaried, full of tact, and expressing his views courteously, and the whole country reads In supriso, and a great many worthy people say here Is a great man who has been somehow con cealed under a visionary bat, but who will be henceforth estimated at his true value, and undoubtedly re nominated and reelected to the Presi dency by acclamation of his party. If oratory can so radically chango the general Impression in regard to the President, it is certainly not a lost art. On the contrary, It seems to confirm the wisdom of the saying that in a country of parliamentary government successful statesmen must be great orators. It is, how ever, true that none of the Presi dents except Lincoln has been es pecially distinguished as orators, while two of the greatest American orators, Webster and Clay, sought the prize In vain. President Harri son's grandfather was preferred as a caudldate to Henry Clay, The Coalsg Use.
