The earnings for the month Of October from all
sources were S43 II, equal to S5245lOO4 per
on the 41 miles Of road viz: Main Line from Sidney to
oswego, l25 miles; New Berlin Branch, % miles.
The road commenced to transport coal from Sidney,
under contract with the Delaware and Hudson Canal
Company in the latter part of November The best in
formed on the subject estimate the quantity be trans
ported the first year at less 100000 tons while
some estimate the quantity at 800 900 tons. This will
yield an income of from S375000 to $45OO00 from coal
alone on that part of the road.
Taking the lowest of these estimates 1t gives for the
4I miles total annual earning of $685. $1,000 The 10
tai operating expenses will not exceed fifty per cent
which leaves the net annual earnings S44975 o. which

The cennslIlt M Irrnasgedr 8 i IN New arTRfaa Rfoarak.

The telegraph has announced the occur
renee of a aisilOcking tragedy in, New York
on Sunday, in which DIR. James Connolly,
a well known physician, murdered his two
suicide. The New York papers of yester-
day give details of the horrible affair. II
seems that, DIR. Connolly had been two OF
three days on periodical spree, and Sat
urday and Sunday took occasional doses
of morphine to quiet his nerves. About
p. NJ. Sunday he entered the bedroom
of himself and wife, on. the rear of the
second floor, taking the children with him
and locking the door. The wife soon af
forwards endeayOred to enter, but without
success. The police, warned by the neigh.
bors, entered the house about z O'Clock and
forced open the door. The room being
dark, the gas was lighted, when horrible
spectacle was presented. i-aaia
On the bed lay the father and children,
dead, and literally batbed in blood. The
children had nothing on but their night
clothing. The father was clad in a white
undershirt covered with blood, while a
pair of red flannel drawers served to add
to the gbastliness of his appearance, lead.
ing one to believe at first glance that the
clothing was soaked in blood from head tC
foot. The head-board was spattered with
blood, and the bed clothing and mattress
were soaked. A rubber bali, with which
the children had apparently been amusing
themselves, was also biood-stained and lay
on the bed. The weapon the lunatic ha6
used lay on the bed. 1t was a carving
knife, with "a blade sixteen inches in
length, and tapering gradually to a fin'
point. The throats of both children haC
been cut, their jugular veins being severed
The throat of the father was cut from eal
to ear, and there were besides several stall
wounds in the breast in the vicinity of the
heart. A physician examined the bodies
and announced that death had occurred
several hours previous. Mrs. Connolly
was rendered insane for a time by the ter
rible discovery.

A C0LORED MAGISTRATE WHIPPED BY
- KUKLUX.
q No Niger to Hold Office i'm the United
-uss rN States.o rs) sii 9i0i

. ~ -
On Sunday might, A. ]. Flowers, col
ored man and a Justice of the Peace, while
on visit at Whiteside's Station, fourteen
miles from Chattanooga, was taken out by
a band of fifteen masked men and whipped
twenty-five lashes being administered
with hickory withes. The Times de-
nounces the affair as ''dastardly outrage,
and i'm view of the serious results that may
arise from it we believe the people of that
neighborhood will find it very much to
their advantage to bring its perpetrators to
Justice. -..s.f ~, -.
According to Squire Flowers statement
made to US yesterday, the leader OF the
band said to him:
YOU'RE a Justice of the Peace. are you
Well, we have come to initiate you into
your Office Well give you about twenty
five lashes to let you see that no nigger has
right to hold office in this State or the
United States. That's all we have against
you, but there's band of u.s., and we are
going to stop niggers from holding office.
You needn't think this is all there is of us.
I can blow nv whistle and have thOus-
and here i'm minute. You pass hundreds
of US every day on the streets in Chatta-
noega. ~ kA 8 81 g. AZ
They told him they understood Flowers
came down to regulate the nigger school.
They didn't mind about the niger hav-
ing schools, but did not want any niger
Justice from Chattanooga coming down
there. They did net want too many mig
gers meeting together any how, because
they might form a league against them.
After this conversation they took the
Squire about mile from the house, into
The woods, made him take off his coat and
gave him about twenty-five lashes with
hickory withes.
They made him swear to resign his of1lce
| and told him to go back to town and tell
George Sewell and Dave Medlow that they
would go for them next and give them q
| big dose
