GREAT RAILROAD
A Sc*no of Bustling Activity
western Dakota.
A letter from White Earth to the St. Paul
Pioneer-Press says: Just beyond this point,
and eighty miles west of Minot, the traveler
finds himself at what railroad men call'‘'the
front," or the end of the track of tho exten
sion w hick the Manitoba Railway Com
pany is now making to Great Falls, Mont.
Ti' speak more accurately, this was the end
of the track yesterday, but to-night that
point will be "five miles further westward,
and by to-morrow yet five miles further.
From’Minot here the work has been in pro
gress since the first week in April. From
now on it is proposed to complete five miles
rtf track each day, thus achieving the great
est feat ever attempted in the way of rapid
railway construction. From here to Fort
Buford the distance is a little over sixty
miles, and it is the intention to have the road
open to that point by June 1. Thence to
Great Falls the distance is 403 miles, and
trains will in all probability be running to
that point before the middle of September.
It can readily be surmised ’ that the ac
complishment of this gigantic enterprise re
quires little less than an army of workers,
and that is what one finds here. The. num
ber of men now at work is 6,600, and the
number of teams 3,000. With this force, it
is hardly to be wondered that the dirt is fly
ing at a lively rate. From here to seventy
miles beyond Fort Buford there is one un
broken series of graders’ camps. Fifty of
these camps can be seen from one point some
distance beyond White Earth. By June 1
between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 cubic yards
of earth will have been taken out, and by
the time Great Falls is reached the amount
will aggregate not far from 10,000,000. On
the Canadian Pacific during the whole of
last summer the amount of earth handled
was only 6,700,000 cubic yards’ and this
was considered a remarkable piece of work.
A few figures will serve to give a clearer
conception of what is involved in the con
struction of five miles of railway track in
one day. A rail is 30 feet long, and there
are consequently 332 to the mile, or 1,760 to
every five miles. As each rail weighs 600
pounds, the amount of steel handled in one
day aggregates 1,056,000 pounds. It takes
2,640 ties to the mile, or 13,200 per day.
Thirty-six 200-pound kegs of spikes are
used to the mile. There are 32 “spikers” to
every fi”e miles of track, each man of whom
drives 840 spikes per day, which, at the av
erage of three blows to the spikes, gives
2,520 blows per man per day. A mile of
rails takes 1.408 bolts, which are handled by
14 “bolters,” or 503 each per day. To avoid
delays in the progress of construction by
reason of rough country, it is the intention
of the contractors to work five gangs of
men in 5 hour reliefs during a portion of the
time. Work will begin at 3 o’clock in the
morning, and the darkness will be scattered
by the thousands of torches.
‘AVith such an army of men and teams at
work far from the centres of civilization,
and in a totally unproductive country, it can
be readily seen that the task of securing
and distributing supplies is one of enormous
magnitude. Indeed, there is little doubt
that greater executive ability is required in
this than in almost any other department of
railway construction in the Far West. Here
at AVhite Earth is, for the present, the head
quarters of the supply train, consisting to
day of twenty cars filled with every con
ceivable thing necessary for man and beast.
There is grain, flour, canned goods of all
sorts, butter, hams, sugar, wagons, harness,
plows, boots and shoes, pipes and tobacco, in
tact, nothing is lacking. Every day sees a
big hole made in the stock, and every day
sees the hole replenished by incoming trains.
Day before yesterday 15,000 bushels of oats
were sent out by wagon and yesterday
5,000 bushels, all for distribution along
the line for a distance of forty
miles. From here on the trail along the line
is marked by one continuous stream of
freighters’ teams distributing supplies to
the various camps. The other day a herd of
170 head of cattle was driven in and it
seemed that there at least was enough meat
for some time to come. A rapid calculation,
however, showed that it would furnish only
10 pounds to the man. Already 250,000
pounds of flour and 500,000 bushel
of oats have been purchased. Lov
ers of baked beans will learn with alarm that
the supply of that luxury is about exhaust
ed. A letter just received from one of the
largest wholesale firms of St. Paul states
that if the demand is to continue through
out the summer as large as it now is it will
be necessary to import from Europe. They
say they have now secured all the beans that
can be found in the United States, and that
they have only enough to last this army
here for two months.
Another interesting feature of this train is
the the hospital cars, where the laborers,
suffering from disease or aocident are cared
for by a regular physician, assisted by sev
eral nurses, the expenses being met by a
contribution of 2c. a day from each laborer
employed.
SOME MIRACLES.
Attributed to Simon De Montfort, Earl
of Leicester.
From the Leeds Mercury.
Mr. J. T. Hand, Halifax, writes: On Aug.
4, 1265, was fought the battle of Evesham,
at which the Barons were defeated, and
their leader, Simon de Montfort, was killed.
His body was mangled and mutilated; the
hands and feet were cut off and sent to dif
ferent places. His memory was long re
vered as one who died a martyr to the
liberties of a nation, and miracles
were ascribed to him. comprising nu
merous varieties of cures. The process
chiefly employed appears to have been •‘men
suration.” This was the application to the
sufferer of some fillet or string which had
been previously put round.the saint’s body.
No less than 212 of these miracles have been
attributed to “Sir Simon the Righteous.”
Twelve of them are related as having oc
curred in Kent. Herewith enclosed are
translations from the originals in “Rishan
ger’s Chronicle.” I desire to acknowledge
with gratitude the opportunity of having
consulted such a mine of historical and an
tiquarian learning as that of Furley’s His
tory of the Weald of Kent.” The following
is the list of miracles:
1. Ralph de Boklinde, of Thanet, beyond
Canterbury, having had the gout for three
years and seven weeks in his left leg very
painfully, so that he continually lay in lied
on his right side, was "measured” (mensu
ratus) to the Earl, and his leg washed with
water from the martyr’s fount (many seeing
the aforesaid fount), and he recovered;
wlierefope all the Island of Thanet testifies
this.
2. Roger, Chaplain and Vicar of Hythe,
m Kent, had an unknown infirmity, whereof
the physicians despaired, and also had the
rjuurtan ague for another year. He being
''measured” to the Earl, recovered without
aclay. Of this the whole township of Hythe
renders testimony.
2. Heliseus, the son of William de Middle
ton (Milton), in Kent, having a “tracem”
m Ins loft eye and left check for twenty
four weeks, being “measured” to the Earl,
recovered. Of this the township of Middle
ton renders witness.
4. Simon Secher. of Rye, who labored
under the disease of frenzy for five weeks,
came to Evesham; and before us in the
chon-, being bound in iron chains, was
miraculously cured by the Earl’s merits.
o. Ralph de G. flo Atewodo, in Thanet,
caving laliored under a similar disease for
nve weeks, was “measured” to tho Earl, and
a penny lining bent I*' recovered. Of this
e i-sland of Tlianet renders witness.
'• "homos, the clerk of Canterbury, son
of Rnhert Yen, laid the falling evil for
forty days, and iicing measured to the Earl
and the hifirmity never returned
£ him. Of this, John, vicar of Hellinge, in
Aent, and many others bear witness.
'.Alice de Aritoaru, in Kent, a trust
worthy woman, narrated that a certain boy,
4 years old, the son of Woiksham, of Kent,
oy name Alexander, who, in a fight between
""pH nten, by chance fell Into tho fire
.... ,•' rt'efc almost half ail hour, and four
enseal' upon him, his eyes and other mem
’"ir. being thus almost entirely consumed.
**® ‘ •u -oaurou" to fciiuT tiuaou and at
once gloriously rtupgif l without any injury.
The universal nmltituds oi Kent are wit
ness*; hereof.
8, WUliamdePi<jkerfeW(LT>f Canterbury,
hod u sun who was Sick uutrade.itk, and who,
being “measured’* toJ&M'*3imon, recovered;
and in token of recovery he brought a
waxen boy to Emham. ill of this the
parish of tst. Andrew’s, Canterbury, tenders
witness.
i). Tho raino VPilliam de Pickeringcs, of
the same town, having a son with one knee
so swollen that the joints of the foot were
scarcely visible, brought him to Earl Simon,
and immediately the entire swelling disap
peared. In sign of recovery he brought
another waxen uoy. Same witnesses as be
fore.
10. Emma de Dene, struck with paralysis
for four days, was conveyed to various
saints’ places. At length, being "measured”
to Earl Simon, she recovered so that she
had thepower to imprint on herself the sign
of the Holy Cross; but she did not long sur
vive. Richard, Vicar of Wingenam, with
the whole parish, bear witness to this.
11. Christiana de Lullingestone, who had
the gout paiutully from the shoulder blades
to the hands, and from the hands to the sole
of the foot, being “measured” to Earl Si
mon, recovered. The parish of St. An
drews, Canterbury, witness as above.
12. A certain woman, of Canterbury,
Agnes by name, wife of Henry the Physi
cian, had been struck with severe gout in
the right hmid, which was stiff for a year
and a half, so that she could not move it,
and thought she should lose it altogether;
but being “measured” to the Earl, sne im
mediately recovered her former health.
And in token of this thing she sent a waxen
hand to the said Earl Simon, at Evesham.
Of this all her neighbors rendered testi
mony.
A COSTA RICAN COUP D’ETAT.
How Dr. Jimenez Became President
and Then a Plain Citizen.
Dr. Jesus Jimenez may have been a
learned man; he was not a wise one.
He had been made President of Costa
Rica by the army, and as soon as he got su
preme power in the republic he gave that
important body the cold shoulder, says
Alfred F. Sears in the May Overland.
It was a mistake. He should have borne
it to the front, giving it prominence; wear
ing it, so to speak, like a rose in his top but
ton-hole on dress occasions. On the con
trary, he treated it contemptuously, sneered
at its prettiness and flummery aucf degraded
its officers.
AA r hat can a single doctor of medicine do
against one entire regiment of infantry and
a two-gun battery of flying artillery? Noth
ing, absolutely nothing. His brass mortar
and pellets are but trines against a howitzer
and bullets.
But the army was also in an awkward fix,
for the army, as I said, had made Dr.
Jimenez President by a coup d’etat. A
second coup following so soon on the steps
of the former would never answer. The
army would lose its prestige. Still some
thing must be done, for the most popular
officers and their friends in civil life were
being banished in crowds from the republic.
The difficulty was solved by Col. Tomas
Guardia.
His brother was in command of the one
regiment of infantry. It was only neces
sary, therefore, to get possession of the ar
tillery. So one morning the great gates of
the barracks were opened, and two wagon -
loads of freshly cut grass passed in as usual,
and the gates were closed. Whereupon,
there suddenly uprose the two loads of grass,
and fourteen men, led by Don Tomas Guar
dia, pointed fourteen revolvers at the few
half-awake soldiers in the-patio, and the job'
was done, killing only one foolish officer,
who attempted resistance to “the revolution
of the people.”
A lieutenant with a few men waited on
J)r. Jimenez and told him he could resume
the practice of medicine, as the public
would not require his services any longer at
the “palace.”
Nothing could have been more satisfactory
to Dr. Jimenez. He really didn’t want
power, and only accepted it because he
couldn’t see his way out of it
At 9 o’clock he mounted his saddle mule
with his alfarjas and went around among
his patients; quietly said to his friends that
he was informed that Tomas Guardia was
in possession of the supreme government,
ana that he would be able to give his busi
ness better attention than he had during the
past few months.
Before he returned to his house for break
fast he called at the palace, smiled and
nodded toward the guard and sent his card
up to the new President.
You will naturally suppose that Don To
mas, on hearing of this sudden appearance
of the dethroned rqler in the place where he
had reigned but yesterday, summoned his
guard, buckled on his sword, capped several
revolvers, ordered a squad of detectives to
usher him in and watch his every motion.
He did nothing of the kind, for two rea
sons: There never lived any one man of
whom Tomas Guardia was afraid, and of all
men in the world, Dr. Jesus Jimenez was
the last man for anybody to be afraid of.
Therefore, when they met the inquiring,
somewhat serious look of Don Tomas disap
peared before the cordial, pleased smile of
Dr. Jimenez, and they embraced with the
fervor of old friends.
UNSCRIPTURAL.
The Little Man Failed to Turn the
Other Cheek.
From the Chicago Tribune.
“Look hero; you can’t run against me in
that kind of way!” exclaimed a large, red
faced man, with bristling hair and whiskers,
to a meek-looking fellow of average stature,
who had accidentally brushed against him
in hurrying across West Madison street,
near Halstead, Saturday morning last at an
early hour.
“I beg your pardon, I 'sir,” said the meek
looking man, in a deprecating way; “if I
ran against you it was accidental.”
“Well, it didn’t look like it to me,” blus
tered the red faced bully; “and I tell you
right now you don’t want to do it again.”
"I have apologized to yonlforst, sir,” was
the reply; “what more do you "want?”
“100114; want any of your lip! That’s
what I don’t want,” vociferate® the bully,
crowding the inoffensive and apologetic
man almost off thewalK; “for two cents
I’d chug you one right now.”
‘Tin in a hurry,” pleaded the smaller
man; “I have an engagement ”
“You’d better have an engagement, I can
tell you.” A
“I have to meet a person in ten mimJtns,”
persisted the meek-looking man, glancing at
his watch, “but I think 1 can make it in
about eight, aml unless I am mistaken I can
oonvice you in two minutes that to take an
apology is the best and sometimes the safest
way to settle a matter of the kind.”
With this remark he shot out his right
fist with the air of a man accustomed to
gestures of that nature, and landed it with
precision and force on the nose of the big
bully.
“I can generally spare time from an en
gagement,” he continued, as he planted a
a blow with his left on the big man’s jaw
anil adroitly dodged a heavy lunge in re
turn, “to polish off a chap that needs it as
bad ns you seem to. I think I’ll give you
another one right there,” said he, medita
tively, as he delivered a crushing blow on
on the nose again, “which will be accom
panied by the claret, not necessarily for
publication, but as a guarantee of good
faith." , ,
The big fellow, taken by surprise, and
dazed by the vigor of the attack, struck out
awkwardlv, but without, effect.
“I have' less than a minute to spare. I
must hurry,” said the smaller man. and he
planted a blow under lus burly antagonist's
ear, stretching him at full length bn tho
sidewalk. Then, looking at his watch again,
he was off before a crowd liad time to col
lect. The big man slowly nroso to his feet
and slunk away, with a disposition to let the
matter drop.
