JUDGE MOSS NOT
VICTIM OF FIRE
Prominent Kentucky Citizei
Thought to Have Been Lost
In Hot Springs Fire
Located.
Hot Springs, March 16.—^
man, believed by his friends t<
have been lost in the great fire
^foas been located through the ef
forts of the local detective de
partment, at a boarding house ii
a quiet part of the city, where h(
had been recuperating from th<
effects of the shock and exposur<
which he suffered from the fire
The man, Judge Moss, apromi
nent citizen of Clinton, Ky., oc
cupied a room in the ill-fated St
James hotel, next to that occu
pied by Allen Schlarf, the Wash
ington man, who was burned tc
death in his bed.
He arrived at the hotel the
night before the fire, and retiree
early.
That he was ill at the time is
the circumstance to which he at
tributes his escape from death.
He was unable to sleep soundly,
and being awakened by the noise
oi tne nre, was aDie to escape
from the place amid a rain oi
sparks and burning brands from
the upper part of the building,
which was already in flames.
He saw none of the other guests
of the hotel after the fire, and was
unable to find the proprietor to
^ make known his escape.
When inquiry of the latter was
made which failed.to locate Judge
Moss, it was naturally believed
under the circumstances, his re
tiring to bed ill and rooming
next to a well man who was un
able to escape, that his life had
been lost. His safety, while un
known here was known to his
Kentucky relatives.
SHERIFF ARRIVED
WITH THE GOODS.
Sheriff Kaneaster of Independ
ence county has served notice on
his constituents that he proposes
to enforce the anti-license law,
whether the violator be friend or
foe.
Last week two barrels of
whisky consigned to M. A. Edgar
from Little Rock were carried on
to Batesville by mistake and the
sheriff got wind of the arrival
of the contraband goods. When
the goods reached Newark Kan
easter was there with papers for
their seizure. The local justice
of the peace denied his jurisdic
tion and the case went to Bates
ville for trial.

school elsewhere.

NEW EQUIPMENT FOR
THE ROCK ISLAND
It has just been announced tha
to provide for the increased vol
ume of traffic on Rock Islam
lines, a large amount of nev
equipment will be delivered, dur
ing the month of March, on or
ders placed several months ago
It is indicative of the industria
and commercial prosperity o:
Rock Island states that; even be
fore the receipt of the nev
equipment, it has been founc
necessary to place another larg(
order for delivery in the earlj
summer.
The rolling stock which will be
placed in service this month in
cludes twenty new pattern pass
enger cars from the Pullmar
shops, which embody so manj
comfort-contributing devices tha1
they make a distinct advance ir
day passenger equipment. This
new departure will come as a
surprise to the western traveling
public. Ten of the cars will be
seventy-foot chair cars, furnish
ed with sixty-four twin reclining
chairs, seating as many people.
The interior finish is Mexican
mahogany; decoration is olive
green, with plain green lines and
tne cnairs are upnoisterea in
green. The cars are equipped
for lighting both by Pintsch gas
and electricity and are fitted with
electric fans for ventilation and
cooling.
The other ten cars are seventy
foot vestibuled coaches, with
seating capacity for eighty. The
seats are upholstered in maroon
plush; otherwise the decorations
are the same as in the chair cars.
All the cars have very large dou
ble plate glass windows and are
equipped with Pullman standard
six-wheel trucks.
One new feature that will be
introduced in these cars is an
improved draft gear with 125,000
pounds spring capacity. This is
about six times the spring capaci
ty of the ordinary passenger
coach. On heavy trains, pulled
by giant locomotives, this in
creased capacity of the draft
gear prevents disagreeable jars
in starting and stopping trains.
An order is also in for over
4,000 freight cars of various
kinds, including
1,500 refrigerator cars.
1,500 box cars.
500 furniture cars.
475 rnal flats.
350 special design dump cars.
250 convertible coal and ballast
cars.
25 drop bottom stock cars.
The Rock Island will also re
ceive during March 65 new loco
motives of various kinds, includ
ing twenty Pacific type passen
ger, ten Atlantic type passenger,
ifteen freight and twenty switch
engines. An additional order
for fifty locomotives will be placed
n the near future for delivery in
;he summer.
Of the new motive power to be
lelivered this month six of the
eassenger engines are to be
equipped with a new super-heat
ng device, being the latest de
velopment in locomotive con
traction, to secure economy in
he generation and efficiency in
he use of steam.
Briefly, the device consists of
eturn steam flues inside the up
>er fire tubes leading from • he
ire box. The steam from the
lome in passing through this
ystem is exposed to heat which
aises its temperature, evaporat
ng entrained water and the
team passes perfectly dry to the
ylinder.
This new equipment, which is
o be added to from time to time,
•laces the Rock Island in the
ront rank among western rail
