The conditions on those roads are materially different. It is claimed on behalf of the motor that the line aver which the experiments have thus far been conducted Is the most severe test and that inasmuch as the car has taken the route successfully a few times the system is in all respects satisfactory and suitable. ‘This claim is yet to be proved. Although the period allowed by law for experiments 1s practically oxhaus-ed, thanks to the dilatory methods of the man. agers of the two roads affected, -here is yet time to complete the tests, which are by no means conclusively satisfactory. The car ts yet to be run over all the sections of the two roads, some of which are very éificult.

The times were greatly troubled when the session began. Pressure for ac- tion was strong, and suggestions as to what was best to be done were plentiful 2s remedies for chills in a swamp country. But the President's message was clear and to the point, and Congress, in deciding to adhere to that, decided wisely. It went et cnee to a consideration of the tariff, and it has stuck to that. Against the proddings of a few agitators, and the sneers of a few tepudiators—men who, although assisting in last year’s republican triumph, came promptly forward after the triumph bad been achieved with a proposition to ignore all the party’s promises—the majority in Congress has steered by the President’s chart, and is now going into port in fairly good condition. = And now for the future. No man need expect any wonder-working by this bill. All business distress will not disappear in the single night after the bill is signed. Business has been very ill, and very #Il for a long time. It cannot be set vigorously upon its feet again as by magic. It must conform to the conditions of a human pa- tient and be satisfied to recover strength gradually. But it is claimed for this bill that it possesses the qualities of a good tonie; that it will brace up the patient, and d a tide of new life through all the arteries of business. And there is every reason to believe that this will prove to be true. At any rate, what so many exper- ienced men approve and have been looking forward to hopefully and impatiently will be put upon trial; and with business believ- ing in the remedy, and adjusting itself to the remedy, only good to business may in reason be expected from the remedy. —_—_—_ + +e -—_ A Handsome Edition.

New York's latest murder myStery prom- ‘3 at the outset to be one of the most interesting criminal cases on record. A portion of the trunk of a man is found in the river. and a few hours later another portion of presumably the same body is found several miles away on the river’s shore The fact that these two fragments are wrapped in pertions of oilcloth of a similar design fixes the belief that they once formed parts of the same person. ‘The head is missing and thus far all efforts at identification have failed. The first theory that the body was mutilated by medical students seems now to be disproved by an autopsy, which indicates. that certain wounds were made before death, some of them probably causing death. It fs a situa- tion worthy of such an imagination as that of Poe in his treatment of the themes of the “Murders of the Rue Morgue and the “Mystery of Marie Roget.” Murder ts not so uncommon in the vicinity of a great city like New York as to attract much attention unless It is accompanied by ex- traordinary circumstances, such as those that attach to the latest case. To the stu- dent of such matters, to him who looks upon homicides as demonstrating the out- cropping of the abnormal in man’s nature. and to the merely idle seeker after the gruesome in the dally record of the world, these unusual crimes are interesting. It 15 probably true that the details of this dread- ful killing will be followed closely by read- ers in all parts of the country. Sometimes this interest .proves valuable to the police, and the records of detective work con- tain many instances of long-distance theor- izing furnishing ideas to the authorities resulting in the apprehension of the crimi- nal. Poe's great story of the “Rue Morgue” indicates how a closely analytical mind may evolve from a few scattered facts the es- sential particulars of an event or a tragedy. That story stands today as one of the mas- terpieces of writing, though upon a theme so unattractive to sensitive minds as to re- pell many readers, Yet it is unquestionably true that even normal minds enjoy the recitals of the world’s misfortunes. ————>++e—____.

From the New York Herald. The influence of cerebral congestion in precipitating apoplectic attacks is shown in the lamentable mishap to Senator Petti- grew. While in the excitement of a Political Speech he was struck dumb by the rupture of a small blood vessel of the brain. It was @ question of degree rather than kind that caused the immediate result to differ from that which occurred with the late Secretary Windom, who suddenly expired while deliv- ering the famous after dinner speech before the board of trade. Senator Pettigrew was extremely fortu- nate in recovering his power of speech so soon after the stroke, which fact enabled his physician to give a favorable opiaion as to ultimate recovery. The accident is not uncommon with persons more or less ad- vanced in years who have brittle arteries that are unequal to the severe strain of in- tense mental excitement. Numerouseexamples have been recorded under similar circumstances, ang should carry their lesson’accordingly. From what can be learned of the patient’s present con- dition the size of the hlood clot must be quite small, the amount of pressure which it causes very inconsiderable, and the chances of nature’s cure by absorption rea- sonably promising.
