.- THE OMAHA ‘DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1887 JIS POSITION 0N THE TARIFE, Representative Fuller of ITowa an Object of Discussion. “ANXIOUS TO KNOW HIS VIEWS. | President Cleveland Confident That he Fight Will Commence in the o House By the Middle of January. Representative Fuller's Attitude. WasuiNGroNs Bureau mie Omana Beg, TH STRE L D. C., Dec. 21, There has been a good deal of discussion among congressmen and the press here rela- tive to_the tariff views of Representative Fuller, of the Fourth Iowa district. Mr. Fuller's name was mentioned frequently for @ position on the house committee on v and means, but it was argued against him Abat he was a froe trader and therefore not a representative republican. A card, signed ASL.8. S8.," is published in this morning's Natiouul Republican, under the title “Mr. Fuller Not a Free Trader,” in which it s #aid that the report that Mr. I'uiler voted for _ the consideration of the Morrison bill in the Jast congress was untrue,and that Mr. Fuller 48 not a frec trader, althcugh a “firm believer 1n the necessity of a reduction of the surplus, and consequently he favors a wise tariff re- “vision.” Thecard amnounces further that ‘Ho is opposed to any legislation that will endanger the great system of protection under which our country has grown to its prosent marvelous distinction, commercially gnd politically.” Mr. Fuller is one of the strongest mon in the house, and his name ‘was considered by the speaker for a position on the committee on ways and means, not only on account of his well defined tariff views, but his general representative character of the northwestern intercsts. Should he not be selected as a member of the committee, however, it will not be on ae- count of his alleged extreme tariff views, THE TARIFF FIGNT. 4+ President Cleveland expects to have the tariff fight open in the house before the 20th bf January, and hopes to sce a bill of some wort pusscd by the end of I 1o hus two or three three times since congress con- wasened, sent for Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Randall _and implored each, separately, to get together “and do something. Both men have promised to not_let local interests stand in the way of van agreement. It is understood that Mr. 4 Randall has pledged his support of what he ‘ealls “‘a rcasonable bill,” one that will not “mffect the iron and steel and other manufact- urers. That some kind of a tariff bill will be passed is the belief of almost every one, RENENTING AT LEISURE.

Itis to the ‘effect that the senator secured an overruling of a declsion of Commissioner Sparks in the Omaha railroad case and that he intended to ‘“show his gratitude in the pending fight in the _ponate agpinst the sceretary’s contirmation. nator Sawyer, the story goes, had invested -goly in the Omaka bonds and the overrul- g gavethem a rise, Of his alleged specu- ardations, the senator himself says: ‘“When I came to the senate and ‘was appointed a “member of-the railroad committce, almost . Iy first business step wis to scll out every Fallroud security tak 1 nud in my possession ith the exception of 1000 shares of stock in /38 new railroad in the northern part of Wis- “eonsin, ‘This stock I had purchused not. as fn investment, but mevely to promote .the construction of the railroad. As it would be hurtful to the enterprise to sell the stock, I concluded that the holding of 1t was not contrary to my public duty. the time that I have been on tl committee as chairman Unever boughtor held dollar's worth of railroad securities except these.” Senator Sawyer admits that when he president was in the northwest last fall e went to hum and asked him if Mr. Lamar ‘would be nominated tou place on the supreme bench, and in doing so observed that it would be a good thing to do; also that when he did this the president inquired if Lamar uld be confirmed. It is stated that Senator wyer roplied that he would support the coufirmation of Mr. Lamar and pledged the resident that he would see that the nomina- ion was confirmed. The scnator now finds Dhimself, ag he terms it, “in a box." PeRRY S, Heatn, ———— The President’s Gift to the Pope. Wasmxarox,Dec. 27.—The Post to-morrow will print the following with reference to the president’s gift to the pope: It is learned from official sources that President Cleve- 1and’s gift of a copy of the constitution of the United States to Pope Leo VIII, on the occa- . gion of the golden jubilee of his ordination as -pricst, was suggested indirectly by the holy futher bimself. When Cardinal Gibbons re- turned from Rome last summer, he brought very cordial and congratulatory message to Prosident Clevelund from the pope on the ‘#uccess of his administration and well wishes or him personally. The pope, in his inter- iews with Cardinal Gibbons, expressed nuch satisfaction with our coustitution and reat interest in its operation. 1 his suggested the president the character of the gift. No Jetter was sent with it, but on the fly leaf, in ~the president’s handwriting,is the inscriprion presenting the book to the pope on the fiftioth muniversary of his entry into the priesthood ——— Another Mysterious Disappearance.

Judge Read Finds a Very Small Infant Last Evening. Justice Read's Christmas present came just one day late and was found last evening at the foot of the steps leading up to the front door of his residence at 1120 Jackson street. It is a wee girl baby, and the person deposit- ing it there evidently forgotto leave the name of the donor. One of the gentlemen rooming with the justice discoveted the bun- dle scourely wrapped in shawls about 6:30, It was carriéd into the house, and on opening the bundle, the child was disclosed. She is # tiny creature, weighing less than five pounds, and is probably about a week old. The clothes about her ure neat and clean, Her little eyes are sore and the lids matted to- gether. Wrapped up with her was a_bottle umluininf( some eye medicine, on which was written in a_small, effeminate hand, “For baby's eyes. Use u few drops in the eye immediately after washing.'” Thd printed label on the ‘bottle had been removed, and this substituted, so there was no clue as to where the medicine had been botight, There were no marks of initials of any kina about the clothes. Mrs. Read got a bottle of milk © the little thing, and the wi d it showed it was very huu; Jlophoned the find to the n, but the jailor telephoned back : “For heaven's sake don’t send it up here, for we have no wet nurse.’’ Phe Crild's hospital was next telephoned ( admittance refused there. Finally sions were made to take it to the poor furm to-day. ‘There is not the least clew as to who are the parents of the child or who left it on the doorstep. police The Athletic Exhibition. The second contest for the middle-weight championship of the state comes off this even- ing at Boyd's opera house, and the prospects are that the eapacity of this popular house will be tested to its fullest. While the ul- leged premier attraction is the middle-weight contest between young Jack Killett, the present holder of the title, and Jim Linds there is no kind of doubt about it in the world that the ‘‘go” between Tommy Miller and Tom Burke is of equal importance in the eyes of all those interested in pugilistics. There is an inordinate desire to see how Miller will make out with as good a man as Burke is re- ported to be, for it is well known that one week day he is to meet the ‘weights in the world, i the person of Tke Weir, the *‘Belfast Spider. Burie fought a draw with Tommy Warren two years ago, and has made his mark by besting the best men of the coast. He prom- o keep Miller guessing how it's all going to come oul to-night. The bout is.to be one of ten rounds. Then, of not much less inter- est, is the six-round meet between Arthur Rothery and Prof. Ed, Miller, two men who have seen much actual experignce within the d circle. Rothery, in the east, three years ago, was eonsidered the coming light- weight. He whipped several men who out- classed him in all details, was a fine general, a quick and nervy fighter, and an antagonist who never failed ta take advantage of the slightest opening. . Miller, too, has been through the mill and won several rattling bare-kuuckle fights. But in addition to all this boxing, there will be feats of strength and agility, wrestling, dumb-bell lifting, ett and Lind- suy are i give one of the best exhibitions of fisticuffs ever seen in the city. The German Army Waunts War. Pesti, Dec. 27.—Herr Esernatomy, an in- timate friend of Herr Tisza, writes to Nem- zetas follows: ““The gaiding spivits of tho German army are in favor of war in order to stop Russian designs. Thoy apprehend noth- ing from an attack by France and are confi- dent of success in case of war against Russia. If it were not that Prince Bismarck favors peace the Germany army would alregdy be fighting the Russians in _company with the Austrian and Ttalian armics.” In conclusion the writer says he expects peace will be maintaived now that Russia finds that the powers do not fear her. Lsasghiag DIED IN THE ALMS HOUSE. Miscrable End of a Mn rensely Rich. SAN Fravcrsco, Dec. 27.—M. D. Babeock, inventor of the fire extinguishing apparatus bearing his name, died at_the alms house Saturday, aged 70 years. The cause of his death was softeming of the brain. At one time he was in receipt of #10,000 a month for royalty on his machines, but after selling the patent rights, the money was soon spent. and for some years he wandered about the state in a destitute condition. About six years ago he was admitted to the alms house where he remained until his death, Once 1m- Other Deaths. NEew Yorx, Dec. 27.—K James Powell, D.

England Professing & Oonfidence ‘Which She Does Not Feel. BAD LOT OF AMBASSADORS. The Newspapers Prove Themselves Better Sources of Information to the Government Than Its Court Representatives. An Assumption of Confidence, (Copyright 1587 by James Gordon Bennett.] Losvoy, Dee, 27, —[New York Herald Cable—Special to the B ~While con- fidence is still professed in high official quarters here that peace will be maintained, Lam informed that great in- creasing misgivings really prevail. British ambassadors abroad may communicate their icions and opinions, but they know noth- ing of the secret springsof action. Tho newspaper, with its myriad sources of in- formation, its vigilant representatives in ‘ley has far surer means of ascer- taining the truth than any embassy or lega- tion. The British government; is fairly well served by its diplomatists, that is to say, they mean well, though they are no match for Russians, or even Germans. None of them communicated anything about the recall of Count Cortie until rumors began to appear in the newspapers. The government hears of many cvents which never happen, but, apart from intercsting essays and specula- tions, its costly staff of ambassadors is not worth a straw as a news collecting agency. Salisbury ~ probably gets more in- iormation every morning from the papers than he can extract from the foreign ofiice dispatch boxes. It is pretty certain, however, within the last few duys that the belief has gained ground among ofticials that war is now inevitable. Some maintain that Bismarck is quietly forcing on the issue as he did upon Napoleon. Others sed reason for thinking that the czar has made up his mind that the great struggle had better come now than later on. Of com- promises, which settle nothing, he has had enough, and the adoption of a fabian policy Irus thus fur proved an injury to him and an advantage to his enemics. If Russia is to wield control over the Balkan peninsula, now is the time to strike. Such is believed to be the czar's opinion, and there is no parliament or constitution to prevent him taking meas- uresto carry itintoeffect. As regards the posi- tion of England, one of the most significant circumstances is that during the last few days mimsterial journals have _entirely ceased to scatter hints about moving the English fleet and backing up Austria. That line was dropped at the | very time Randolph Churchill was an- nounced to be in St. Petersburg—a curious coincidence. Then the unground wires were set in motion lest any one should pose that Churchill's movements could in- fluence the ministry. Paragraphs were acci- dentally inserted in the newspapers suggest- ing that the government may possibly have the ex-chancellor on u mission to the ¢zar, There are people who will swallow anything and some absolutely swallowed that. It was about as likely that Churchill would accept a mission to Russia from Lord Salisbury as that Lord Salisbury would offer it to him. Two greater improbabilitics you could not find in the whole field of terrestrial politics. If the government betieves that it can get on at home as well without Churchill as with him, they are not very likely to be persuaded they need him in foreign affairs. Churchill went to Russia because he bad a curiosity to see the country, und it was hardly likely that the Russian government would allow him to wander about unnoticed. That he had no offi- cial mission you will see when I remind you'that down to the moment of his depart- ure the ministerial journals annonnced that he was going to Spain. To-day all clubland is asking what is the meaning of the czar in- viting Churchill to a special interview! Wa it done to please Lord Salisbury! Yes, th are people not in asylums who are actually capable of putting the second question. The czar and his visitor were not thinking of what Salisbury would like or dislike. What they talked about will probable make itself visible in future events. One thing is certain—the czar shows that he is a more astute politician than many men in England who have settled once for all that Churchill is an - extinct vol- cano. Nothing more is said about sending the British fleet to act informally with Italy or Austria, and the czar and Lord Randolph have had a long conversation togother, the Russian foreign minister -having first had several interviews with the young English statesman. It may suit some persons to ex- aggerate these incidents aud others to make light of them. In any case they will bear fruit. It was very wise on the czar's part to have a frank talk with the one Englishman who, next to Gladstone, can im- press the masses of his countrymen. It was doubly wise if the czar knew that the British government was being led or pushed into an understanding of any kind with Austria, for then Russia will no longer be at the mercy of any English press inspired only by her en- emies, Her case has a ¢hance of receiving due attention, though but the voice of one man may at first take it up. That voice, however, can reach a long way. The Cri- mean war might easily have been prevented by an instrumentality not more potent. It is sometimes said that #he czar is mad. Evi- dently he has lucid intervals, Probably he is only mad nor-nor-west. It all comes to this: If we hear no more of an Austrian al- liance against Russia, with England started on the incline plane which leads to war, we shall probably hear no more of Lord Randolph's historic visit to the car. If, on the contrary, the Austrian sentinel as seen in front of the British office instead of on his own ramparts a difference of opinion in this country may speedily manifest itself. War with Russia is not what the English people want. [f Ger- and Austria have a quarrel with the zur, let them fight it out among each other. England has raked the chestnuts out of the five often enough. The democracy is now in power, and it means to have peace until it is divectly attacked. It will not drag one of its most trusted leaders for taking the pains to inform himself as to the true opinion and in- tentions of the monarch who is acoused of trying to precipitate a war upon Surope. The fable of the wolf and tha jamb is perpetually being enacted o the great stage of politics, but this time Russia may not be playg the part of the wolf. Mex OF PARLIAMENT, Timme Again in Trouble. Hans Timme, who was recently dismissed from the police force for improper conduct toward a colored woman, again comes into note through a disgraceful row on the corner of Thirteenth and Pierce. Puaul Smith and a fellow called Bismarck were having some hot words when Timme, who was & witness, took the part of Bismarck, and Smith down with a fragwent of rock. S was pretty badly hurt and had to be taken howe. Timme was taken in tow by Oficer Dempsey, and sent to the central station, where he refused to be searched, and in the struggle betwoen him and Ormsby the latter g0t his clothes torn. He was finally despoiled of his valuables and locked up. No Council Meet For want of & quorum there was no meet- ing of the city qouncil last night.

X CHAS. MILLER'S AFFIDAVIT. He Swears He is not the Man of Mil- ler, Bulfer & Co. The expose of Miller, Bulfer & Co.'s frau- dulent scheme by the Bee some days ago has brought about the result that the junior mem- ber of that firm is now out of a job, his em- ployer, N.o Fredricksen, having refused longer to keep in his employ a man with such a record as Bulfer has been shown to have, There has been no positive proof as to who the scnior member of the bogus firm is, but as & man named Miller was also in Mr. Frod- ricksen's employ, the inference has been drawn that he was the party. This, how- ever, Miller has denied, and to make the denial more emphatic and to relieve himself of the suspicion, he went before Justice Anderson yesterday and made the following afdavit: Charles H. Miller, being by me first duly sworn, on his oath says that he is in the em- glc:),\' of N. Fredrickson, doing business on South Thirteenth street, city of Omaha. Af- flant further says that he has no connection whatsoever with the firm of Miller, Bulfer & Co., referred to in an article in the Omaha Bek some days ago; that the article referred to has been the source of a great deal of an- noyance to tho aMant because of the simi- larity of the name of one of the members of said firm, and therefore I am compelled, in justice to myself, my employer and my friends, to take this method of setting myself right before the people.

Friday Lerue for years past had been a daring handler of the most poisonous snakes, and his terrible death at h home in Chinchilla yesterday was re- ceived with feelings” of horror all through this section, where he had fre- quently shown his prowess in subduing the dangerous reptiles, which he had made his household pets. The last pubs lic exhibition given by Lerue was in this city during the fair. On Thursday evening a party of friends were calling upon him, and, as usual, he. took them into the snake room to exhibit his strange pets. As he was handling a blacksnuake a rattler jumped out of the box, and the guests in the room at once made a dash for a place of safety, Lerue quietly placed the blacksnake back into itshoxand then rushed for the loose snake, which was slashing the air with his tail and making the room resound with the clatter of his seventeen rattles. The snake charmer, who had but one leg, having lost the other while fighting for the union, grasped a chair, and, moving it forward, rested himself upon it while he reached forward and grasped the snake by the tafl. Swiftly the rattler darted round and sank its fangs into Lerue's left hand, but before loosing his grip the chaimer dashed the snake into its box and secured it, The poison soon began to assert itself, and, despite the use of every antidote at hand with which the man always kept himself supplied, it extended through the arm and into the body. The limbs and body began swelling rap- idly. The skin grew highly (hscufl- ored, streaked with crimson and deep black. The doctors were hastily summoned, but all their medical skiil could do was to administer opiatesto re- lieve the sufferings and delirium of Lerue. The swelling also extended_ to the head, and the left arm incrensed in size until the skin fairly bursted. The sufferings of the man weie of a most terrible nature, and from the time he was poisoned by the fangs of the ser- pent to his death the contortions of his body in the delirious attacks were most repulsive. Her Voice Was to Blame, Texas Siftings: There was an excit- ing scene one day last week in an Austin court. The neighbors of Gabe Snod- grass, living on Austin avenue, were compelled to have him arrested. He had whipped his wife and her screams were so terrific that a crowd at a saloon ten blocks distant put their untouched glasses back on the bar and went to the door to see what was the matte; Both Gabe and his wife were in court, *What do you mean, sir.,” said his honor sternly, **by such cruel treatment of her whom you vowed at the altar to love und cherish?™ Gabe assumed a persuasive attitude and emphasized every word he said by the most extravagant gestures He was laboring under intense mental ex- citement. “I'll explain it ter yer, jedge. Foah God, T hardly teched “her wid de toe ob my boot. 1 iell yer, jedge, dat nigger's voico am ter blume. When she sings hit sounds like a hull camp meetin.’ Am I ter blaim bekase M.tildy has got a voice like a biler explodin? His honor shook his head, as if to in- timate the theory was too thin. “Yer don't believe me? Now, jedge, jess you jedge for yourself,” said Gabe, and lifting up a hoof the size of & ham, he gave Matildy a kick that would have i‘uhvd an elephant. She threw her hands up and opened her mouth as big as that of & civeus hippopatamus, She gave a prolonged yell that caused two teams to run away, and made everybody in the court room hold their hands to their ears. **Dar,” said Gabe triumphantly when she subsided, *'is yer gwine ter punish me bekase she has got a soprano voice? Is Lter blame bekase she make a prima donunaer outen herself?” His honor dismissed the case. e T, Dr. Hamilton Warren, Magnetic Phy- sician and surgeon, Room 3, Crounse bloek, cor 16th and Capital ave.

Buffalo Express: To look at her no one would believe that the woman who sat in room No. 7 at the Spe house last evening, talking with an Expross young man, was the champion woman prizetighter of America—Mrs. Hattie Stewart, Though built from a mould made for casting a man, Mrs, Stewart is not mas- culine in looks, save for her short hair, Her face is round and attractive, and her voice is pleasant. The vernacular of the pugilist and sport sounded strange from her lips, and her eyos evi- dently sincere interest in sporting mat- ters—especiully prizefighting—was o novelty, to say the least. From Maine to Californin Hattie Stewart is known to sporting men as “The Female John L. Sullivan,” and she is proud of her title On November 11 last a full-page pictus of her adorned the New York Polic Guazette, and she treasures it in a serap- book well filled with other press notices she has received. 1 like to fight,” said she. *“‘As agirl at school in Philadelphia [ was always fighting with boys. I was born and brought up in Philadelphia. I learned boxing and club-swinging in 1876, when 1 was twenty years old. For three years I taught boxing to tadies in the Norfolk (Va.) gymnasium. Those southern women arve pretty tough, too. They can put on the gloves with any man., All they care for is horse-racing and sports,” ‘‘Have you seen the challege of Mrs, Alice Robson, of Pittsburgh, printed in the New York World of November 27 last? She offers to fight you to a finish for $1,000 a side.” *Yes, I have seen it, and have a swered it through the World, 1 will meet her at any time or place, and will fight her for any amount. She has not replied to my answer. 1 think she is bluffing. They say sh jealous of me because I was too familiar with her first husband. Somebody has been putting up ajob on her, I guess, **Mrs. Robinson, I am told, is twenty- seven years old, is a brunette, five foot six, who fights at 150 pounds. Her hus- band is a master painter at Crafton,near Pittsburg. She's taking four lessons a week in boxing, I hear. with Tom Con- nors, the wrestler, as her tramer. They suy that she and her husband own #10,000 worth of property. If L had that much money I'd quit the business--us a profession. My fighting weight is between 150 and 160 pounds, in tights, though 1 pull up 190 pounds now. I haven’t been do- ing any work lately. 1 can soon get down to 160 pounds by banging away at the sand bag a few hours each day. I can take off 15 pounds a week if it’s for a fight. “Here's a picture of Annie Lewis, I licked him at Houston, Tex., on Febru- ary 27, 1885. A'match was first made for us at New Orleans for %200 a side, but but the sheriff interfered and we had to quit. She was the hard woman I ever defeated, but I did it in less than two minutes. That’s the great trouble, in my business—the sheriff. Whenever I get a chance to fight, even if it's ad- vertised as only a friendly ‘set-to,’ the authorities get on to us and stop the mill. All the work I do now has to be in private. “*Annie Lewis is dead now, poor girl. She began to advertise hemvlf as champion female boxer of the world, This galled me, because I knew I could lick her. We met,and I offered to spar her for tun, to take the conceit out of her. She wouldn't do that, but wanted to tight for $500 The contest was finally arranged for $200, at Houston. We were to have fought eight rounds, Ma quis of Queensberry rules for scientifi points, but I knocked her out in the s ond round. I got the stakes and all of the excursion money—the fight was a little way out of town. “‘How old am I? I was born on Octo- ber 27, 1858. My parents were Germans. I was married to Richard Stewart, my vresent husband, at Norfolk. He was master of the sword at the gymnasium where I taught boxing to women. “Did I ever fight with a man? Oh yes, many times. My husband don’t ike to have me fight]with men, becaus itis no credit to them if they knock m out, and if the men are defeated the crowd always says it wasa ‘hipoodrome. I defeated a big bruiser named Joues in Missouri once, and have fought several ‘draws’ with men. I've had some unprofessional fights with men, too. I licked a baggage- smasher at Pittsburg, at the station of the Pittsburg and Cleveland road, not long ago. His name was Kinne) You see my husband and I were go- ing from Cleveland through to the south. I had a fine bull pup that [ paid express charges on from Cleveland clear through. We had to traunsfer from one depot to another at Pittsburg, and Kin- ney wanted to charge me $1 for taking the dog across town. I told him I'd ounly pay S0c—that is all it was worth, He said if I didn’t pay his prico he'd keep the dog, so I took it away from him. I had to knock him down and lick him before he’d give up the dog, but I ‘got there’ all the same. Yes, I was arrested, and so was my husband, and we lost one pight's ‘work,’ but we didn’t have to pay a fine. *I whipped & man in Kansas City once, too. He came into a box in a theater where I was sitting and insulted me. Ibet he’ll never insult another woman—TI laid him out and gave him a black eye. I don’t like to do these things, but men must be decent, that’s all. *Most of the women I meetin the ring are no good.

They wait until I'm hundreds of miles away and then offer to fight me. No doubt when I'm down in Texas in a few weeks from now some Buffalo woman will challenge me. #No, I have done no *work’ in Buffalo. Last week I swung Indian clubs at the Adelphi, and took part in a farce with the company. My husband is up there to-night, He isa musician and a com- edian, but he can fight too.

A correspondent writing from Adel- phi, O., says: This old but picturesquo village, whose corporation includes the northeast corner of Ross county, is a terminus at this time of a railroad that has mo parallel in the United States. The corporate name is protentious enough. Itis the Cincinnati, Hocking Valley & Huntington railrond, which would cover a line from Cincinnati north of Chillicothe, thence to the Hocking valley and to Huntington, on the Ohio viver, n distance of 180 miles. But the road is but ten miles in length, as built, running from Adelphi to Kins- ton—all in Ross county. It is substan- tinlly the creation of one man, and his present relation to it makes it a road unlike any other, The line could scarcely be bettor. Leaving the Scioto Valley ™ railrond at {ingston, it runs nearly due onst, de- flecting a little to the " south to tou Hallsville, ten miles to Adelphi, The track lies almost all the way on the sur- face of the ground, There is but one little bridge, one short low trestle, and almost no cuts, A considerable portion of it is in the fertile prairie which stretehes 0ss to the west from Adelphi to Kingston, and it ¢ll runs througo rich and_productive farm’'ng lands. Morcover, it opens to the m p- 3 of the world these fine lands, which have hitherto b en dependent on long hauls by wagons for all their supplics and for transportation of pro- duce. The town of Adelphi owe ence in the first place to the wason the line of travel in “early times” between Marietta, the first town in Ohio, and Chillicothe, which was the first capital of the northwestern terei- tory and of the state of Ohio. The next reason for its existence is the natural beauty of its location. It lics just on the border, between the hills and tho broad and fertile plains and “prai as they were ealled by the early settle The town is on beautifully rolling ground, with high points of " view i d- juininf. from which the beauties of Laurel Vall A narr ravine, from the hills be contrasted with the broad fertile hottom landsof Salt C'reek, stretehing away for a distance of eleven miles southeastwardly without a break. Pennsylvania formed the majority of its its oxiste el that it founders, and their desceidanis aro here yet. One of them, John Karshuer, is ho organizer of this road. farmer. who formerly local politician, and wis of push and enterprise. He talked raile road so long that he finally formed n acrial company, obtained right of way with some donations, and, as the com pany never had any funds to speak of to justify undertaking to build the road, Mr. Kurshner (old farmer that he ws), determined to bring the cars to his town, and undertook with his own means to build the road from Kingston to Adelphi. He went atitin y n,became a railroad builder, and by shrewd and careful business management in due course of time saw his ideal accom= plished, Then his troubles began. Here He is a wealthy was o leading always u man of read built, and the had looked on during the building, began to desire to tuke possession, But Mr. Karshner does not sleep on his right, and he assumed pos- sgssion by virtue of his having fur- nished the money and acwually built the road. Nevertheless, litigation to oust him was begun, but so far he has held is place, and he is confident no can be rendered. 1d was built he #0ld the crops of his farms for one year and bought a locomotive, which he called the John Karshner. Then he had built a combination passenger and baggage car, and his equipment was complete. He has been operating his road for two years. At first he employed a con- ductor and a freight agent, and follow ed the custom of larger rouds. But being an active man, thongh v years of age, he soon dispensed with a1 superfluous services, and now he com- bines within himself the entire list of vailroad men, from owner and prest dent to conductor and brakeman. His train goes twicea day from Adelphi to Kington and return. It will stop on signal at any farm-house or cross-rond for passengers or freight. Mr, Karshner goes on every train as conductor, brake man, baggagemaster, mail and express agent, and even as n agent. He sells no tickets; has no running ar- rangement with other roads; has no running accounts for freight, pu:- sengers or express; everything i cash, He does uot requi book- keeper nor even a clerk, He pays the oto Valley its charges on freight to Kingston, and adds his own churges, collecting the whole upon delivery. No railroad in the country is managed on more sumple and economical principles! and few afford such thorough acommo- dation to their patrons. Its passengers bave no fear of collisions nor of being run down by following trains—its one train has always the right of way. It has no use for telegraphic orders nor train dispatchers. 3 Mr. Karshner hopes soon to end his litigation and then to arrange to push his roud eastward into the coal rvegions in Athens county, and has a al road which will serve a community long needing o railroad, and find ample r muneration for the capital invested.
