No THROUGH TRAINS YET.-The al[rail
line is built between Richmond and WASH
iugton, and track connections made between
OIuntico and Alexandria, but what's tho
Use of it.? Barkis is willin', but, the BaltI-
more and Ohio aiDt. They forbid the bans.

with smiling passengers has yet civortcd

until one of two events arc conSislllnaicG--
the Baltimore and Potomac road completed
to Baltimore, or the Baltimore and Ohio
roads wrath appeased. The thing hangs rrc
because the latter road won't agree TO sell
through tickets except upon terms that the
other corporation declines. Indeed, each
line is said to lave made proposals to the
other, and each alike rejected the orertureS
of the other.
We are told by the Washington Herald
that the owners OF the Baltimore and Poto-
mac road have the privilege Of purchasing
the present road complete from QtGsr tico

1900, 900 cash, and may probably avail
themselves of the offer. .s;.I sf5
And, further, that the engineers OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad are surveying
Il route Which will tap the Washington
branch outside the District limits, and pro-
coed along the eastern banks of the Ana
costa and Potomac rivers to Il point opposite
Alexandria, and there connect by means oil
swift steamers with the present Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad. This
we take with many grains of allowance as 10

Brutal Treatment of a Child.

A shocking case of brutality has come to
light at Adrian, Michigan. Itappears that
a Mrs. Louisa Lossing, who had in charge
her niece, little girl named Emma LOSING,
beat the child in horrible manner because
the child could not eat fast enough at the
table to please her aunt. In her testimony
before the justice of the peace the child
says: con Monday of last week / got up
and my aunt was real cross; she scolded be-
cause did not eat breakfast faster; was
eating as fast as could; she said she would
feed me if ! did not eat faster; as soon as
Uncle William left she commenced feeding
me, taking a large piece of bread and fore
ing it into my mouth; chswed as fast as
could and she said she would whip me if
did not eat faster;I could not eat faster,
and she took me into the bedroom, stripped
me and whipped me with whip about as
big as your finger, from an apple tree, and
about yard long; she struck me about a
hundred blows and then said if would not
make any noise she would stop whipping
me; could not help crying aloud, and then
she choked me; then she whipped me again,
and at last, when l could not keep still; she
put towel into my mouth; she had me in
the bedroom about an hour should think,
and struck me, should think about two
hundred blows. After she had got through
whipping me went back to the table, and
she made me eat q great deal more than l
wanted; did not want to eat anything; she
made me eat about enough for four or five
meals at that one time; kept asking her
to let me stop, and said she would not stop
until had commenced eating fast; the
loaves were large loaves of bakers bread,
and the slices were thick; she would not
let me drink anything"
| Several witnesses testified as to the bru-
tality of the treatment which the girl had
received, and it was shown that in addition
to the horrible punishment Of examining,
red pepper had often been forced into her
eyes and mouth. The perpetrator of the
outrage was sentenced to pay fine of 500
and confinement in the Detroit House OF
Correction for ninety days.

two freehold securities, conditioned that

A Novel Light.

The Paris Figaro gives the following
method of obtaining light instantaneously,
without the use of matches and without
danger of setting things on fire Take an
oblong vial of the whitest and clearest
glass, put into it a piece Of phosphorus
about the size of pea, upon which pour
some olive oil, heated to the boiling point,
filling the vial about one-third full, and
then seal the vial Theoretically To use it
remove the cork and allow the air to enter
the vial and then recork it. The whole
empty space in the bottle will then become
luminous, and the light obtained will
equal that of lamp. As soon as the light
grows weak, its power can be increased by
opening the vial and allowing a fresh sup
ply of air to enter. In winter it is some
times necessary to heat the vial between
the hands to increase the fluidity Of the oil.
Thus prepared the vial may be used for six
months. This contrivance is now used by
the watchmen of Paris in all magazines
where explosive or infiammable materials
are stored

eB- A terrible accident occurred in the
Long Island brewery, on Powers street,
last week, by which Frank Gilgram, an en-
ployee in the establishment, had his head
blown to pieces by the explosion of beer
barrel. Gilgram and Michael Quinn were
engaged in cleaning barrels, which was
done by filling the vessel with hot water
and slaked lime, and then rolling it about
in order to generate the gasses.
While they were thus engaged, barrel
which they were rolling, exploded with a
loud report and hurling the fragments in
every direction. One of the pieces struck
the head of Gilgram, severing it from the
body, and dashing it against the beams of
the room so violently that it was crushed
into mass of blood, flesh and bone Quinn
was hurled to the distance of about twen-
ty feet, where he laid in an insensible con-
dition, but was not seriously injured.
