Colorado Springs, March 26.—
The Pike’s Peak cog railway, one
of the most marvelous engineering
feats of the world, is almost com
pleted. About two years ago the
first real effort was made to sup
plant the burro train, and drive
at Austin., and the meeting was not the iron horse to the summit of
in a saloon, a gambling house, nor. the grim “sentinal of the Rockies.”
even a hotel. The place was a. A company of local capitalists was
quiet, orderly ice-cream parlor, and' organized and the work of grading
Ben Thompson and his wife were-commenced. Unfortunately, capi-
eating strawberry cream at a table t a l was lacking, and after grading
near by to a coterie of high-school
girls, one of them being a daugh
ter of ex-Gov. Ireland of Texas.
Thompson was a small sized man,
yet hot slender. He was elegantly,
yet not showily dressed; his clothes
indicated a correct taste, a diamond
stud and a thread of gold watch-
chain comprising all his personal
jewelry. He was a handsome man
of-45, with small black mustache
and hazel eyes.
Yet this man had a record of
having killed thirteen white men
and twice that number of Mexicans
and Indians. .A few months later
he was himself killed in San An
tonio, along with Kingfisher, in a
hand-to-hand conflict with two
other men in the Vaudeville thea
ter.
He was never.known to take an
unfair advantage of an enemy,
number of his victims having had
the first shot at him. Once in
store he ordered a man with whom
he was engaged in a lively dispute
to go outside and pass around the
block to the right; he would pass
around to the left, and meet him
They did so; the man blazed away
at Thompson with a shotgun loaded
with buckshot, missed, went into
the air at the crack of Ben’s re
volver, and fell a corpse.
And thus with every case
Thompson’s numerous killings the
preliminaries were always flavored
with a dash of dramatic sensation
alism,
As Thompson and his wife passed
out of the ice cream bazar I noticed
that she had but one arm. The
other had been shattered by a Win
chester ball in Denver, when she
threw it across Ben’s head upon
discovering a crouching form draw
ing a bed on him. At the. time of
his death Thompson was city mar
shal of Austin,

A story is told by the Boston
Advertiser of a gentleman who is
now and has been for some years
past engaged in rearing an elegant
mansion of stone a dozen miles or
so out of Boston. Much care has
been taken and no expense spared
in its'erection. The other day he
went out to see ’ how the work was
progressing, and visited the library.
It is a noble room and had been
surrounded by elegant bookcases
of carved oak in elaborate design.
The owner gave one glance about
the spacious and beautiful apart
ment and then exclaimed to the
contractor: “What made you build
the bookcases so high? Cut them
down two feet and put cupboards
underneath. Do you think I am
ing to buy books for all those
Ives?”
Gen. Sickles, who has just ac
cepted the office of Sheriff of New
York, is devoted to the opera and
the theatres. He seldom misses
performance of the German opera,
and comes in promptly as the cur
tain rises to his seat in the orches
tra. During the summer months
he is frequently to be seen at the
Terrace Garden enjoying the com
ic operas of Strauss, Offenbach
and others. “I also saw,” says
writer in the New York Star,
“Gen. Sickles at the opening night
at Daly’s, seated alongside of Gen,
Sherman, Gen. Horace Porter and
Cornelius Vanderbilt, and on the
last night of Mansfield’s ‘Richard
HI.’ he was ‘left’ with the rest of
us as to what the tent and ghost
scene was all about. Notwith
standing his years and the loss of
his leg, which he left in the peach
orchard at Gettysburg, where he
had the Third corps,. Gen. Sickles
is still a very, very young old
man.”
Professor Haddon, of Dublin
declares that a species of fish of

affected by prolonged submersion,
but soon died when its tail had

several miles around mountain
peaks and over mighty chasms the-
company failed, and the work
came to a stop.
But this failure of local enter
prise only stimulated and called
out the .true Western vim and en
ergy. The bnrro train was too
slow for this fast-going age, and
the people were determined that
the smoke of the locomotive should
yet be seen from the terminus of
the highest railroad in the world.
The result was that last summer
witnessed the ’organization of a
company of capitalists with almost
unlimited means. A charter was
obtained and a corps of engineers
set at work to locate the line. The
contract was let to Messrs. Lantry
& Sons and the work of grading
commenced.
From that time to date of writ
ing, all day long and of moonlight
nights, it has been one continuous
boom, boom and roar, resembling
a battery of heavy artillery dis
tinctly twenty miles away. Giant
powder and dynamite have done
their work, and mountains of rock
have been hurled from where they
had rested since placed there
the Architect of the Univere.
Instead of following the old sur
vey and profiting by the work al
ready done, the new road starts
from the Ute Iron Spring, a short
distance west of the principal ave
nue in the famous pleasure resort
of Manitou Springs. Thence
takes its course up Rnxton creek,
closely following the burror trail,
past the Minnehaha falls, through
scenery which would require an in
spired pen to faithfully portray.
Four miles west of Maniton is the
“Half-way-House,” where a station
will be located. Leaving the Half
way-House the road winds
through the canons, through
magnificent park of pine and hem
lock, climbing up, always up, skirt
ing the eastern base of the monn
tain, bearingjsouthwesterly, around
“Windy Point” on the so.uth, mak
ings its final rise and reaching the
summit of Pike’s Peak from the
west.
Here,’up amid the eternal snows
a station house and hotel will be
built, 14,336 feet above the sea
level. From the eastern terminus
at Manitou to the western termin
us on the summit, a distance of
nine miles, the difference in alti
tude is about 8,336 feet, or an av
erage of 926 feet per mile in the
grade of the road. The engine
and ears are now being built ex
pressly for this road, the engine
being so constructed as to run over
a line of cogs in the center of the
tract, the engine preceding the
cars going up and following them
coming down. A company has al
ready been organized to build an
elevated railway through Manitou.
to connect the Denver and Rio
Grande and the Pike’s Peak rail
way depots, and this line will ’ be
ready for business by the time the
cog railway is completed.
