fer the railroad route, and who could forego
the pleasure of the journey?
WILL A PACIFIC RAILROAD rAY 7
50 much of our railroad income generally
arises from way business that many railroad
men decide this inquiry in the negative. The
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is almost an
exception TO this reliance on way business.
Besides it is not necessary to suppose Pa
cIhc railroad will have no way business. This
Platte Valley route passes through or easily
connects with Nebraska, Utah, Washington,
and Oregon Territories, that will pour IN
vast business at different points, to say moth
Ing Of the susceptibility Of settlement through
out almost every portion Of this route. 1t
is difficult 20 estimate the trade that would
accumulate on such national line. ! find
some valuable items III the speech Of the
Hon, MIR. McDougal. made in Congress May
md, 1854. and something may be gathered
from letter of the Quartermaster General
which accompanies the reports of the Secre-
tarv of War.
From these it is estimated that there are
one hundred and ten Thousand transits Of
persons between New York and California
and 423 $50 tons Of freight in a year. A
railroad has q creative power which generally
increases the business from FIVE to ten fold
y
this Pacific routes but will only suppose it
TO double the present business, and deduce
the following results
transportation Of 220 900 pass
engers, Sl0S epch, S23, 100000
Transportation Of $40 ,460 tons
Of freight at $73, 6I,7aI, $50
Sixty millions gold dust, extra
freight, at per cent, 100000
Government service. mails. mill
ltary stores, men, &c, 100000
Way business, % per cent, ls,s7o,3l6
Gross income, 1921 ,S96
Deduct 80 per cent for cost Of
running, 5000, 946
Nett proceeds per annum $56,6l0,g4.
About forty per cent. on the estimated
cost. Ii objections are made TO the items Of
tins estimate, then is vast sum to be added.
rs the trade between Europe and Asia, the
trade Of two hundred millions with eight
hundred millions Of people, and the vast in
.creasein that trade created by the direct aud
speedy mode Of communication.

meuts favoring these points

About one thousand miles Of this Platte

Altogether the ground is quite as favorable

Railroad Convention in st. Louis III SD, put

valley portion at 100000 a mile, and the

g OUTRAGEOUS CASE OF KIDNAPPING 4 LITTLE
GIRL.--A man named f. N. Chapman, and his
servant-an apparently inofensiye young man,
named VIM Rufus Tracy, we're arrested on Sat-
urday BY Constable Sloat, and taken before JUS
tice DeWof on . charge of kidnapping little
girl named Fanny" taking her out of the State
and selling her in Tennessee for S275. Itap-
pears that Chapman claims to have brought the
girl. who is only Eve years Of age. into the State,
and that be owned her in Arkansas. :. Il appears
he got Tracy to take the child down to Tennesse
sfew weeks since and sell her there. The case
exhibits the evils Of slavery in one Of its worst
features, in thus trading OFF poor, innocent
little child into perpetual bondage, and doing 90
in free State, thus outraging the sentiment Of
our people on this subject. Justice DeWolf held
Chapman to bail in the sum Of $l5Oo for further
examination; and Tracy was committed in default
Of bail in the sum Of 81 900 for aiding and abet
ting in the offence charged against Chapman.
The case comes up for further examination on
the 1th Of Janusry.-Chicago Democrat. -

Great RObbcry-House built by the
P1unders

. On the corner of Randolph and Wells streets,
diagonally opposite to the Briggs House, is a
large and splendid six story brick house, Just fin
ished and built for hotel 1t was built by
clerk of Mr.. Isaac Speer, jeweler in this city,
and cost some $4,000. 1t has inst been discoy-
cred that this money was obtained by the clerk
by the robbery of his employer; that he has
been Systematically stealing jewelry from him
for number of years past, converting the pro-
ceeds into money and real estate; and strangest
of all, that Mr.. Speer never knew it, never missed
the jewelry, never felt his loss. Ea
The matter was discovered by the arrest in St.
Louis, some days ago, of young man named
Davis alias Hickox, who had in his possession
thirty-seven gold and silver watches, and large
amount of jewelry, for the possession of which
he was unable to give a satisfactory account
Accident led the chief of police in st. Louis to
suppose that the jewelry was stolen from some
jeweler in Chicago, and Mr.. Speer, proceeding
to ST. Louis, recognized it as his property. The
prisoner confessed to Mr.. Speer, that his brother
(the clerk aforesaid had stolen it from Mr. Speers
store, and that he had been in the habit of do.
ing 30 for four years past, converting the pro-
ceeds into houses and lands He bought the lot
on the corner Of Randolph and Wells streets,
the old Planters House, valued at S25, 900, on
whichhe paid $4,000 in cash. He then erected
the hotel at cost Of some sixteen thousand dol.
lars. ~ r. - =
On hearing that his brother had been arrested
in St. Louis with the jewelry in his possession,
Hickox, the clerk, became alarmed and fed from
the city. The officers are on his track, but he
has not yet been taken. 49, , ,a .fs- -
/ He conveyed the Planters House property BY
deed to his brother, who has since executed q
transfer deed Of 1t to Mr. Speer. It is worth
s2O, 900, SO that Mr.. Speer's loss will probably
not exceed three or four thousand dollars-Chi
