Rain fell yesterday throughout the entire western circuit of the National League ex- cept at Chicago, where the Colts took the Bostons into camp to the tune of 10 to 3. The Bean-eaters were outplayed at every point, and the result was the reversing of the standing of the teams for fourth and fifth places. CHICAGO. fl BOSTON R.H.O.AF,! R.H.0.A.B.

Wild ‘One hour and They Expeet to Soon Strike a Win- ning Streak Agaii The much-to-be-deplored toboggan slide of the Washington Base Ball Club must be attributed to the fact that the ciub has not been playing the gamé ‘ds it should be played with the material on hand. Poor Judgment both at the bat and on the bases, coupled with little or uo team work, is causing the mischief. The pitchers complain of their support, particularly in the outfield. Abbey is play- ing a shaky game and Lish appears timid. Joyce's hitting is woefully weak, and, in fact, no member of the team is kitting regularly. The boys are making the same stupid plays that earlier in the season, with ali the luck in their favor, did not count against them. Now every misplay, how- ever slight, proves disastrous. Compared with the other teams that they have met, the Senators are weak in base running. While Mercer suiked in Cincinnad, it is stated that he has triel to do his best since, though his arm is weal:. A change of managment or ~aptaincy is not contemplated, it is learmed, unless it is shown that no honest effort is made to pull the team together and set them out of the rut they have got ‘nto. It is confi- dently hoped that the players will regain their lost confidence and place a air share of victories to their credit. Nearly every team has an unlucky spell some time dur- ing the season, but it is thought that the Senators have had their full share of hard luck and will soon be winning games again. Boyle Suceceds Nash. A special sent out from St. Louis say3: “The Philadelphia team arrived in thé city Sunday and a few of the players went out to see the Browns and Brooklyns play. “President Al Reach arrived in the city this morning with his family. He gave out that Jack Boyle has succeeded Nash as manager and that Hallman has been made capt sh left the team at Pittsburg to go home and rest. President Reach expressed himself as being very much pleased with the Cooley-Turner-Sullivan deal.” Notes. Washington will play two games at Cleve- land today. McJames and King are booked to do the twirling. Cleveland has signed Pitcher McDermott, late of Louisville. The Brooklyn club was stranded yester- day at Centralia, Lil, on its way to Louis- Ville, because of ‘a railroad washout. MeAleer of the Clevelands has made but two errors at center field this season. Chicago is playing base ball that is hard to beat. Hoy, who has twenty-one sacrifice hits to his credit, provabiy will beat the record of Jennings, who led the league last season with twenty-eight to his credit. ‘Sam” Crane, who in his day was one of the handiest men that ever guarded second base, played a great game at third for the Etks in New York last Saturday. There are said to be half a dozen syndi- cates in the fieid prepared to buy out the present bolder of the New York franchise and give a winning team to the metropolis. John T. Brush says that the board of di- rectors of the league acted too hastily in fining Tebeau, as the constitution provides that both sides must be heard. While Donohue, the Chicago catcher, was in New York his ahoulder was lame, and he complained greatly atout it. One morn- ing @ newspaper man who accompanted the team whispered the fact to Donohue that “the old man had signed Con Dailey.” Im- mediately Donohue walked toward Anson, looking “quite pert,” waving his arm and chirping: ‘My arm is all right today. I’m good for lets of game: “I have always held,” said “Pim” Hurst, “that a ball player who casts a slur on an umpire during a game doesn't mean to apply his remarks to the umpire as a man. That is, the player isn’t really personal. The moment he quits the ball field he for- gets what he has safd. ‘Pat’ Tebeau is a good fellow off the field, end I never had any trouble with him on the diamond, be- cause I know he didn't apply any personal remarks to me. An umpire shouldn't take a player's remarks to heart. I never do, and I have got along swimmingly, as a rule.” George Ulrich, shortstop of the disbanded Quincy club, has engaged with New York, which club is also after Reidy, a pitcher, and McFarland, an outfielder. Lathrop, who was Quincy's star pitcher, is wanted by Washington, but terms have not yet Leen agreed upon. Louisville has released Pitcher McDer- mott and Catcher Warner and signed ‘itcher Shanks of Madisonville. When Quinn reaches St. Louis with the Baitimores his friends there will give him a testimonial. The Boston Herald says: “There ts no doubt that the great Improvement seen in the batting and ffelding of Tom Tucker ts due to his not going on the coaching lines, as he did last year.” Second Baseman Lowe of Boston fell and broke his collar bone in practice at Cleve- land last Friday. Six weeks’ rest for Mr. Lowe. 3 There are six Pittsburg players with an average above 300, namely, Smith, Stenzel, Fiy, Merritt, Sudgen and Lyons. It is estimated that the poor showing of the New York team this season will result in a loss of $80,000 to the other league clubs, or about $2,800 per club in the sea- son. President Frank DeH. Robison has a plan to put an end to all rows with the umpire. He proposes putting a deadiine sixty feet from the plate and obitging any captain who has a complaint to make to Keep outside of it. If this is done Tebeau air. Ladies might hear it if it is to reach the umpire fifty feet away. Gaffney is no longer an Eastern League umpire. He failed to show up at Satur- day’s or Sunday's games in Providence, and yesterday morning President Pat Po ers appointed Larry Ketrick of Scranton, Pa., in his place. Ketrick was on the sub- stitute list, and three years ago was a regular umpire in the Eastern League. THE PARADE PRIZES. They Were Dictributed to the Win- ners Last Evening. The prizes given tn the recent bicycle parade were awarded last evening to the lucky contestants at the rooms of the Ad.- Writers’ Club. Chief Consul W. T. Robert- son of the local division, L. A. W., made the presentations, and nearly every one who was fortunate enough to win a token was there to receive it, the clubs sending a rep- resentative. One or two winners of prizes | Were absent and unknown, so that Consul Robertson will hoid the same for them un- til they make their identity known and come forward to claim their winnings. During the proceedings President Wm. Gettinger announced that the Arlington Wheelmen would not receive the second prize for the best club display, so that the committee still has that prize on its hands. The reason stated for this action is that the Arlingtons refused to be rated second in’ the matter of display. The prize con- sists of an order on Woodward & Lothrop for anything in the stock of their store to the amount of $10. Charlie Kid MeKeever Surprises Lavigne, Kid Lavigne, the lightweight champion of the world and Charlie McKeever of Philadelphia fought six rounds to a draw at Madison Square Garden, New York, last night. Lavigne had an easy time until the last round, when McKeever woke up In a wonderful manner and went at his man Ike a cyclone. His two-handed fighting was excellent, and he was wildly cheered. It Is believed that the result will lead to the matehing of the two men. ‘Tennis. At Wimbledon, England, yesterday Ma- honey won the lawn tennis championship of England, defeating W. Baddelay, last year's champion, three games out of tive. Mahoney's score was: 6-2, 6-8, 5-7, 8-6, 6-3. In the doubles the final set was won by Doherty and Nisbett, who defeated the Allen brothers. In the championship finals in tennis dox- bles at Chicago yesterday Neel brothers beat Wrenn brothers 6-3, 6-0, 6-3. The Neels will play the winners of the eastern championship in August. The opening matches tn the Longwood tennis tournament yesterday were inter- rupted by rain late in the afternoon, but Yrot until almost all of the preliminary matches were finished. Among the cracks entered are Hovey, Wrenn, Budlong, Ste- yens, Ware, Talmage, Whitman, Terry and Lee. Larned holds the cup, but will have to default for it, and if Wrenn does not materialize, as it Is feared, Hovey should have almost a sure thing, and this would be his third and final victory, too. ‘Sum- mary: Championship singles (preliminary round) —M.

LONDON, July 21.—Sporting Life publish- es an interview with Stanbury, the oars- man, this morning, in which he is quoted as saying that would be impossible for him to go to Vancouver and get into con- dition in time for the regatta. Still he is willing for a match here with Gaudaur for 1,000 pounds. Stanbury also stated that he would perhaps take a four-oared Australian crew to Vancouver In 1897 A Rattling MIL Billy O’Donnefl and John Lawson (the terrible Swede) met at Memphis in the au- ditorium last night in a finish fight, and the Swede’s second threw up the sponge after twenty-eight rounds of fighting, lasting one hour and fifty-one minutes. In the early part of the fight O'Donnell clearly demon- strated his superiority as a boxer and ring tactician, punishing the Swede severely about the nose, mouth and eyes, and the blood flowed freely. The Swede, however, was very game and showed wonderful en- durance. A great many fouls were committed, es- pecially by O'Donnell. All in all, it was a rattling mill and seemed to please the 1,300 spectators. Chess Results at Nuremberg.

Philadelphia Cricketers at Halifax. ‘The Philadelphia and Wanderers’ Cricket teams began the first match of the week’s series at Halifax, N. S., yesterday. The game was unfinished, and will be continued today. The visitors were first to bat and ran up the excellent score of 180 before they retired. Of these Biddle led with 31, followed by E. W. Clarke, 27; Brewster, 24, and Wright, 21, with 15 extras. Seven of the Philadelphians were cleaned bowled. The Wanderers only scored 72, of which five were extras, Ferrle having the top score of 20. EB. W. Clarke, Patterson and Brown howled for the visitors, Clarke do- ing the most effective work. —_————__ Time in India. From the London ‘Times. Clocks are regarded as curiosities by the Hindoos, and for this reason half a dozen or more timepteces are often found in the apartments of the wealthy Hindoos. They are not used as timepieces, but simply for ornament, since the old-fashioned way of telling the hour of the day in India, by calculating the number of bamboo lengths the sun has traveled above the horizon, is entirely satisfactory to the natives. In the country police stations in India, where the European division of the hours is observed, time ts measured by placing In a tub of water @ copper pot in which a small hole has been bored. It is supposed that it will take oye hour for the water to: leak into the pot so-as to fill it and sink it. When the policeman sees that the pot has dis- appeared he strikes the hour on a bell-like gong. If he is smoking or dozing, the cop- Per pot may have disappeared several min- utes before he discovers the fact; but the hour is when he strikes the gong. STILL GOING DOWN Southern Passonger Batos Boing Radi- cally Begueed. THE SEABOARD'S COT 18 MET { at Baltimore and Ohid to'Make Impor- tant Improvements. AN INTERESTING DECISION ————— The Southern Railway Company today mede its final cut to meet the reduced passenger schedule of the Seaboard Air Lire. The cvt will, it is announced, promptly be met by the Seaboard, whose officers state that the end is not yet. So far the reduced rates of the Southern ap- ply only to business between Baltimore and points south via the Bay lines of steamers, while the Seaboard’s new sched- ule applics to all points reached by its lires. It is expected, however, that at the meeting of the Southern States Freight Asscclation at Atlanta tomorrow authority will be given to the Southern and to all the other members of the organization to meet the present rates of the Seaboard, as well ag those likely to be made in the future, and that then the war will soon thereafter hecome general. The jurisdiction of the Southern States Freight Association extends over nearly ali the ratlway lines in the territory south of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi rivers. The prospects are that there will he great demoralization of both freight and parsenger schedules, not only in the south, but in some paris of the north as well, be- fore peace between the contending Ines $s restored. For a Faster Chicago Run. ‘The Baltimore and Ohio Ratiroad Com- pany, it is reported, is preparing to reduce the running time of its trains between Weshingtcn and Chicago, and with that end in view the receivers are having built at the Baltimore locomotive works in Phil- adelphia ten monster express engines, which will be the largest ever used on the read, and are said to exceed those in size on any other road. The first of these engines ts expected to be ready for sérvice by the middle of August, and the rest soon thereafter. Six of them will be ten-wheel or mogul engines, with 7s-Inch driving wheels and cylinders 21x28 inches, and will have a total weight in working order of about 143,000 pounds. Some idea of the size of these monsters may be obtained by comparison with the dimensions of the big mogul passenger engines buiit for tho Vandalia line four years ago by the Pitts- burg locomotive works, which had 72-inch drivers and weighed 137,000 pounds and were considered the largest mogul passen- ger engines in the country. The big ten- wheel engines of the class X type running on the Fort Wayne aud Pan-Yandle roads have 68-inch wheels and weigh 132,600 pounds. Compared with the engines or- dered.by the Baltimore gnd Ohio these monsters now in use will look ifke pig- mies. Peur more engines ordered by the Baltimore and Ohio will of the mogul type, with 68-inch drivers, but will weigh nearly as much as the engines described above. The idea of the motive power officials in getting such powerful engines is to sav the expense of double headers whenever practicable, and at the same time to be alte to haul heavier tralns at a higher rate of speed. A Cat-Of Near Pittsburg. The Baltimore and Ohio began last week the construction of what, when completed will be the greatest improvement made on the Pittsburg division in many years. It will be known as the “Glepwood cut-off,” and when put into service 15 expected to re- lieve the congested condition of the main line between Glenwood and Laughlin Sta- ton, where the Pittsburg Junction railroad branches off across the city of Pittsburg. and upon which line the through western trains on the Baltimore and Ohio are run. The “cut-eff” starts at Glenwood and fol- lows along the Monongahela river bank, connecting with the Pittsburg Junction tracks at Laughlin, near the Eliza furnace, a distance of two miles. The new line will be double tracked. It will be used for all freight traffic and for all through western trains. None but passengers trains will be run over the old main tracks. The improve- ment will cost about $1,000,000. At the present time the B. and O. has trackage at Glenwood yards for only 500 freight cars, and the road nandles from 50t to 1,000 cars a day at that point. It is part of the new improvement to add large track« age for the increasing freight busin A Move by the Hlinois Cent: A rumor, which comes from a usually well-informed source, has reached Wash: ington, and is believed in railroad circles here, that on the Ist of next month the Illinois Central Railroad Company, whose headquarters are at Chicago, will sever its business relations with the Vandalia lne, which fs the same as the Pennsylvania sys- tem, and is owned by the Jatter, and will Join forces with the Clevelaad, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, or Big Four, road and inaugurate a new through line hetween Chicago and St. Louls and eastern points, The reason given for this fs that the Jili- nois Central, being barred from selling its own tickets, and being handicapped in other ways, its Chicago-St. Louis line has exis more in name than in fact for several years past. The efforts of the compuny to make more satisfactory arrangements have at last been rewarded with success by the new alliance. It will now have the right to run its own trains through to the east, over the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, and it He eee also the Chesapeake and Ohio, it so desires, and maintain its own ti office in St. Louis. ae The whole matter ts a great surprise to railroad people, and will be to the xeneral public, as negotiations have been conducted very quietly. The new arrangement will entirely cut off the Pennsylvania's St. Jouls-Chicago Hne and leaves that company without any direct route between the vw cittes, while at the same time the Vanderbilt system secures @ line between St, Louls and Chi. cago which ft has long sought. It aso gives the Central a new, if not direct, ine between Chicago and Cincinnatl. An Interesting Case Decided. Judge Adams of ths Unite] States cout at Chicago Saturday jasterendered a Ge- cision in a railroad damaze,case which is of much interest to the iriyeling public. A. 8. C. Pennington suedthedliinois Central Railroad Company for damages for the reason that he was put o%f a suburban train of the road. November bought a ticket at :he & Chicago, for Kensingt id not use it at that time. He kept the ticket ebout two weeks, and again, joarded a train at 36th street for Kensingion,’ When he pre- sented the ticket to ule coljductor the lat- ter refused to accept \#¢, ahd satd it was good only for the date af sale as stated on the back. Penningtox, tolditie condactor he had showed the ticker t@ the azeni at 36th street before boarding the train ond had asked him if it was g Tie agent, Wwas.\nnd perinitied he said, told him it dhe turnstile to tie him to pass through train. The conductor maintained that the ticket was not good and ordered Penni: ton to leave the train, © : The case was tried some time ago before a jury and Penning:on was given a verdict for $2,500 damages. The railroad company entered a motion for a new trial and the motion was dechied Saturday. Judge Adams said the railroad company has the legal rigat to limit lickers and that right has been sustained by numerous decisions of the courts. Pennington said the marks on the ticket showing it was limited to the day it was sold were uninielliginle to him. The ticket bore the figures 231, the number of the day of the year in which it was soid, and the court said tt made no difference whether Pennington understood tne figures or not. The marks were intended fcr the conductor. The court held, also, that the conductor was not bound by what the tick- et agent at bth street said as to the ticket being good. It was his duty-to pass upon the question whether the ticket was guo4. Judge Adams said the plaintiff could not recover damages and granted the company @ new trial. A BROKEN LEG. The Very Pathetic Story of a Fime Horse's Denth. From the Xouth’s Companion, Archer, the celebrated jockey, was rid- ing in a steeplechase, his mount being a horse calied Fatigue. The man was fond of the horse, which returned his affection with Hberal interest. At the last fence the horse tell and broke his leg. Archer, though, of course, thrown, fell away from the horse and was not badly hurt. The pathetic scene that followed is described by Vogue: He started away to deliver news of the accident and arrange to have the horse shot, but was stopped by hearing a whin- ny. Poor Fatigue could only lift his head, but he was looking after and calling the rider he loved so well. Archer returned to the horse, and sitting down on the turf took the poor creature’s head in his lap and sagt a boy with a message for what was Mecessary. Meanwhile the horse lay still, except for an occasional spasm of pain. No one wanted to shoot poor Fatigue. A small boy finaliy volunteered if no one else would, but he'd “a heap ruther not. Wher the pisto! was finally given him his small hands trembled so that Archer took the weapon from him, saying: “You're nervous, lad. You'll bungle it. He shan’t have his pain added to. He'll never know what put him out of his mis- ery." Addressing the horse, he added: “If I wasn't fond of you I couldn't bring myself to do it, but you shan't run risks of being hurt more.” With one hand he caressed the horse’s head, with the other he put the p’stol to the forehead. “Good-bye, Fatigue, old chap; good-bye,” and he pulled the trigger. Fatigue hardly struggled, but settled down, dead, with his head still on his fa- Vorite rider's lap, and Archer sat quite still ll the last quiver was over, his bead bowed, and did not notice that the red was staining his clothes. “ reese OLD DOCUMENT.

The elder Weller in “Pickwick” was, as all admirers of the works of Dickens well know, a great believer in the utility of an alibi as a defense in both criminal and civil actions. < “Never mind the character,” Weller to his son, “stick Nothing like an alleybi, Ve r he’s agoin’ to be tr alleybi's said Mr. to the alleybi. mmy, nothing. ed, me boy, a the thing to get him off.” This sage advice of Mr. Weller’s found frequent corroboration in the views of criminal lawyers in town up to a very few ‘ars ago. There were twenty, and even ten, y 4go more criminal lawyers than there are today, and the emoluments and fees of criminal lawyers were materially ‘larger in the ordinary run of cases than now. AS a consequence, cases were more often defended than they are now, and pleas of guilty were much rarer. Then the alibi witness was a necessary though usu- ally unwelcome part of the machinery of defense in criminal cases. ‘There is, in iminal procedure, no better defense than an alibi if sustained. Alibi witnesses were therefore very much in demand until ju- ries began to mistrust them, and the pen- allies for the crime of perjury were visited ‘upon some of the delinquents. For a considerable time the mendacious and subsidized testimony of professional alibi witnesses obtained credence from ju- rers, and some of these witnesses, to quote language, “made a good thing Juries in criminai cases are i:s- ually sympathetic where no outside pres- sure is brought upon them, and it is the part of the charge of every judge in a criminal case to inform the jury that the prisoner at the bar is entitled to every reasonable doubt. If, therefore, any un- certainty existed on the point whether cr not the prisoner was actually present at the time and place of the alleged crime, he was entitled to the benefit of it. But, little by Httle, the prosecuting officers be- came acquainted with the identity and records of the professional alibi witnesses. One or two were prosecuted. Others were seared off. The commercial value of the services of the others was decreased and finally the whole nefarious business was abandoned, never since to be revived. eoo-——--_ Had a Taste for Fine Clothes, n the New York Times. “The vagaries of human nature were never more clearly evidenced to me,” says a lawyer, “than in the recent settling up of an estate of which I was made admin- istrator. It was that of a man, the last of a well-known family, belonging to a neigh- Loring state. For years he has lived alone (he was a childless widower) with a couple of servants, a man and woman, to look after his creature comforts in the old home- stead of the family on a farm a mile or more from a small village. The house is more than a hundred years old, and is nlled with many curious relics and furnish- ings of a long bygone time. He saw little company, and left his own place rarely. He had become, indeed, to a great extent a recluse. He was accredited with a consid- erable fortune, but actually, as I discovered after his death, was on the verge of bank- ruptcy. “In the course of my necessary examina- tion of the house and its contents, I reached the room he had occupied as a bed room. It was as quaint and old-fashioned as the rest of the house, but, to my surprise, in the closet hung twelve or feurteen hand- scme suits of clothes, none very much worn, and all bearing the mark of a first-class city tailor. Trunks in the room disclosed many sets of expensive underwear, so ex- pensive, indeed, that few city men think of buying such, certainly very few in the pro- fusion that this man had purchased them. In the trunks, too, I found hoslery propor- tionately abundant and costly. “But the greatest surprise was when I opened the deep drawer of the old-fash- ioned bureau and found a pile of four-in- hand necktles of really superb fabric and exquisite colorings. They were of satin, silk and brocade, and of every tint known: they had been worn, evidently, but with such care that they were still fresh and al- most like new. By actual count there were 101 of these ties, all bearing the imprint of a famous high-class manufacturer. My surprise was increased when, among the bills presented to the estate I found one from this maker, showing that these ties were not paid for, that they cost $4 apiece, and were nearly all included in one order of four or five months before the death of its giver. “Nothing could seem more incongruous and unexpected than that this lonely old man who lived in the simplest fashion in otlWer respects should have had and grati- fied, far beyond his means, this taste for expensive clothing.’ FOR DEBILITATED MEN, Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

HARD TIMES AFFECT ALL TRAFFIC Railway Statistics Shown by the . Interstate Commission. INSTRUCTIVE FIGURES ————— The eighth statistical report of the inter- state commerce commission for 1895 has Just been submitted. The statistician calls attention to three special features: (1) The showing of comparative figures where pos- sible for the five previous years; (2) the compilation of operating expenses for two years, one summary being based on the re- vised classification of operating expenses, taking effect July 1, 1894, the other on the classification followed from 1887 to that date, and () the compilation of a table showing revenue and density of traffic for roads whose gross revenue exceeds $3,000,- 000. Reference is made to the effect of the continued business depression and the large number of receiverships. On June 30, 1895, 168 roads, operating 37,855 miles, were reported in the hands of receivers, showing a net decrease of 23 roads and 2.963 miles of line. ‘The railway capital represented by these roads was nearly $2,- 500,000,000, or about 22.2 per cent. Mileage of Railronds. The total railway mileage in the United States June 30, 1845, was 180,(57.47 miles, an increase of 1,948.92 miles, or 109 per cent. The Increase in 1894 was 2,247.45 miles, or 1.27 per cent, which was less than for any preceding year during the periud for which reports have been made to the commission. ‘The territory and states in which the increase in mileage exceeds 1) miles are: Arizona, 247.41 miles; Mlinois, 188.70 miles; Pennsylvania, 157.00 miles: Maine, 132.586 miles? Texas, 110.41 miles. and Montana, 105.79 miles. The aggregate length of all tracks in the United States on June 30, 1895, was 246,804.26 miles. Includ- ed in this total track mileage were 10,639.96 miles of second trac! 2 miles of third track, 733.12 miles of fourth track and 4: 888.46 miles of yard track and sidings. Classification of Rai Tho number of railway co June 30, ays. porations on 1895, was 1,965, of which 1,013 2d operating accounts and 8 1 acccuats. During the year 4 roads were abandoned, 9 merged, 32 reor- ganized and 28 consolidated. The cl cation of railways on the basis of operate mileage shows that 42 companies, each op erating more than 1,00) miles, operate 1d 714.71 miles of line, cr 55.67 per cent of the total railway mileage; 24 roads, with an operated mileage ranging from GX) to 1,000 miles, operate 18,805.40 miles, or 10.45 per cent; 22 roads, with an operated mileage ing from 400 to 6W miles, operate 11,- miles, or 6.18 per cent; 45 roads, with an operated mileage ranging from 2%) to 400 miles, operated 14,368.5 miles, or 7.04 per cent, and roads, with an operated mileage under 25) miles, operate 35,770.53 miles, or 19. per cent.

It appears there was a decrease@ efficiency in passenger service and an increased efficiency in freight service during the year. Out of a, total equipment of 1,206,260 1o- comotives and cars only 362,498 were fitted with train brekes, and 40856 with auto- matic couplers on June 30, 1895.

The num- ber of freight cars in service was 1,191 of which 2 were fitted with train brakes and with automatic coup- lers. It appears that the passenger service is well equipped with automatic safety ap- plances, but the freight service is de- fictent. The number of men employed by rail- woys shows an increase of 5,125, as com. pared with last year, the number of em- ployes being June 30, 1895, Capitalization and Val The amount of railway capital June 30, 1895, is shown to be $10; or $6%,- 330 per mile. The increase during the year was $188,720,312. Railway capital was dis- tributed as follows: The amount of cavi- tal stock was $4,961,258,656, of which $4,- 201,697,351 was common stock, and $75¥- preferred stock; the funded debt 407,114,3 , = ; income equipment trust obligatior current liabilities amounted to $¢ Of ihe capital stock outstanding, $1,1 bonds, $2 O71, or 25.57 per cent, was owned by the railway corporations, as well as $437.50S,- S41, or 9.59 per cent of bonds outstanding. These figures show an increase in the cor- pcrate ownership of securities, probably rather due to railway consolidation than to the strengthening of reserve funds. Passed Dividends, Stock to the amount of $3,475,640,203, or 70.05 per cent of the total amount out- standing, pald no dividend, and $904,436,200, cr 16.9 per cent of funded debt, exclusive of equipment trust obligations, paid no in- terest during the year covered by the re- port. In no other year since the organiza- tion of the division of statistics has so large a percentage of stock passed its divi- dends, or, except in 1804, has so large a percentage of funded debt defaulted its in- terest. Of the stock paying dividends 6.89 per cent of the total stock outstanding paid from 4 to 5 per cent; 5.39 per cent of this stock paid from per cent; 4.41 per cent paid from 6 to 7 per cent, and 3.99 per cent paid from 7 to 8 per cent. The toial amount of dividends was $85,287,543, which would be produced by an average rate of 5.74 per cent on the amount of stock on which some dividend was declar- ed. The amount of bonds paying no in- terest was $624,702,203, or 13.41 per c miscellaneous ‘obligations, rt 12.24 per cent; of income bonds, $225 G19, or Y1.52 per cent. Public Service of Railways, ° The number of passengers carried by the railways during the year ending June 30, 1895, was 507,421,362, which shows a de- crease of The number of passen- gers reported carried one mile was 12,- 188,446,271, a decrease of 2,100,999,622 being shown when compared with figures for pre- vious year. The number of tons of freigit carried as reported by railways was 696,- 761,171, an increase of 58,574,618 for the yee* Barmings and Expenses. ‘The gross earnings of the railways of the United States for the year ending June 30, 1895, were $1,075,371,462, an increase of $2 009,665 for the year being thus shown. Pas- senger revenue was $252,246,180, showing a decrease of $33,103,378, or 11.60 per cent for the year. Freight revenues increased $30,- 502,549, or 4.36 per eent, being $729,998,462 for 1895. The expenses of operation for the same period were $725,720,415, which were $5,693,907 less than for 1894. The import- ant unit in railway statistics designated as the co-efficient of operating expenses, that is, the percentage of operating expenses to operating income, for 1895 was 67.48 per cent; for 1890, 65.80 per cent. The income from operation, $349,651,047, though $7,703, Sreater than it was in 1804, was yet less than for any other year since 1890. It appears that the railways of the United States closed the year with a deficit from the year’s operations of $20,845,241, which was met by a decrease in accumulated sur- plus, or by the creation of current Mabili- Ues. The corresponding deficit of the year ending June 30, 1894, was $45,851,204. The nvmber of railway employes killed during the year ending June 30, 185, was 1.811, and the number injured was 25,606. These figures compared with those of the previous year show a decrease of 12 in number killed, and an increase of 2,274 in the number injured. The number of pas- sengers killed was 170, the number injured 2,305. These figures give for the year a decrease of 154 in number kiiled, and 659 in the number injured. The number of passengers killed is remarkably smail. ———— oe. A CLERGYMAN’S CURE FOR LOVE. Advised the Young Woman to Take to the Bicycle. From the Gentlewomaa, I have been told that a great many cler- s)men are much troubled by the members of their congregation confiding to them their love troubles. One well-known and much-admired prophet and evangelist is so much bewildered by the quantity and qual- ity of these confidences that he now makes it a rule not to see any member of the fair sex in the vestry unless she states before- hand what she wants to consult him about. One day, however, when he had preached a very eloquent sermcn, a sad-eyed lady member of his congregation forced her way into his house on the plea of urgent busi- Press, and, in spite of nis most discourag- ing manner, insisted on informing him,with tears and sobs, that she had fallen hope- lessly In love with a certain gentleman of her acquaintance, and that she did not knew what would beccme of her in life un- less he could be persuaded to return her affections. The reverend gentleman rose impatiently, and exclaimed that ke should advise the lady to buy a bicycle and go out for a long ride every day until she was cured. The damsel went away weeping, and saying that, alas! he did not undersiand that her love fever wasgincurable! The clergyman thought no more about this interview, whick he had looked upon as being one of the disagreeable details of bis profession; but 2 month later, as he was walking along the strect, he met a pretty, blooming, bright-eyed girl, who stopped him, and ex- imed, ‘vith enthusiasm: “I can never be sufficienuly grateful to you for your excel- lent advice; I have acquired a bicycle, and go long rides every day, and now I have no time to think of Mr. ——, and don’t care for him at all.” Lovelorn damsels, please N. think that the Rey, Mr. Astute and wholesome-minded adviser. taken her confession seriously a she might still have been suffering from an unre- quited attachment instead of being a hap- py, merry girl. To me it is only more proof that there ts no cure like outdoor ex- ercise for a bruised heart. es ADIEU TO THE DAIRY MAID. lect of Mode Dairy House. From the Boston Transcript An English engineer, who has just turned from a visit to the anaual or show of the Royal Agric ‘al Society, held this year at Leicester, writes that the poetry of the dairy is fast disa) In the future all the proce ducted by automatic machines y ever by a professor sitting in a bacterio- logical laboratory. The cows will be milked by machinery, and then the mammary fluid will run through pipes into sterilized vats in the re- exhibition for distribution to our homes, or into sepa- raters which will in a few minutes convert t into butter and skimmed milk. The airy maid will disappear or will be con- verted inio a young lady whose talk will as full of scientific terms as that of a hos- pital nurse. Our descendants will be aghast at our temerity in drinking mil straighi from the cow, and will wonder what kind of digestion We bad to dispose of the mil- lions of bacteria which seem to make the farmyard their special haunt. Mechanical appliances were exhibited at the show for y branch of dairy work. The sterilization of milk was made a prominent feature, and one of the exhibits illustrated a method of sterilizing milk in bottles or cans. be bottles have rubber-se ted stop- pers and are filled with-muk which has teen strained and filtered. They are then put into steam-heated oveAs and the milk raised (o temperatures ranging from 1 degrees to 212 degrees; a temperature of 160 degrees maintained for an hour is said to be sufficient to kill all dangerous germs, but if the milk is intended to be kept for some lume, it is necessary vo allow it to cool and then heat it a second time. When the steam is turned off the oven, the stoppers seat themselves tightly on account of the con- densation of the vapor in the necks of the bottles, Among the butter-making machines was one which consisis of a centrifugal sepa- rator delivering its cream to an inclined rotating surface over which it moves slowly, being there subject to a continua. tion of the separating action, According to the inventor, the globules of fat here t come disentangled from the wat ticles with which they are associated and coalesce into butter granules, just as small globules of mercury will coliect into larger oues. The apparatus is, in fact, a double separator: first the milk divides into and skim imiik, and the cream sepy into butter and skim milk. The size of the granules of butter can be regulated by the speed at which the milk is run into the ap- paratus. In a trial made at the show. cight gallons of milk produced five pounds and three ounces of bu the process being conducted ai the low tempera- ture of sixiy-three degrees Fahrenheit Cam Write Backward and Forwara. From the St. Louis Po Dispa St. Louis has a visitor in the person of Prof. Arthur ch, Wallace of Lemars, lowa, that the word genius alone fits.

Queer Things Abou From the St. Louis Republic, There is a relation between the color of flame and the energy of the combustion causing {t. The more vigorous and com- plete the combustion the higher the re- frangibility of the light. A fame burning in a tardy and restricted way emits rays that are red. When burning in a mor complete and effective manner the emit- ted rays chauge to violet. The flame cf a lamp or candle consists of Flames. innermost one (that in direct contact with the dark core) being red and haying a temperature of exactly 977 degrees Fahren- heit. Upon this, and in their proper order of refrangibility, are skells of light which are orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. ‘The reason that such a flame does not appear to us as a nest of cones of dif- ferent colored light is this: When we look upon such a flame all of the rays issuing from the different layers or strata of con- centric luminous shells are reccived by the retina of the eye at one and the same time. This can only tmpress with the sensation of neutral or white light,
