/ Iris estimated by a railway
man that the construction Of 1000
miles Of railroad in a year re-
qulres the labor Of 10000 men.
Last year 6.427 miles, requiring
10000 men, were constructed in
the United States. In the 10
years ending with 1872 the mile
age constructed in this country
was 3,934, or about 3,400 miles
year. During these 10 years
the increase of mileage has varied
f ON 73S in 1864 to 7,779 in 1871.
1t is Thought that the new roads
constructed THE year will not ex.
ceed 2,500 miles, 50 that 10000
laborers will oe released or have
becn, for agricultural or o'her
pursuits. If these men should
produce rs they should, the pro-
ducts Of their labor would add
as much to the business OF
the country that many thousand
new miles of railway would he.
come necessary. At all events,
for tho present the labor market
has full supply, and men must
work to live. .tt

ABOUT three months ago it was
noticed that many con, icts and
some keepers at Sing Sing, in the
quarry gang, were more or less
intoxicated when they went in at
night, and many were the devices
to catch the supposed smuggler Of
!iqncr. On Friday night one of the
guards heard a convict talking in
his cell and say: "I'vc always been
a good friend to you. Why don't
you set mp straight" The guard
looked in and saw the convict ad.

then took from him. 1t had the

was drunk. Oo being questioned
by the Warden, he said ho bought
the whisky from the quarry dis
tillery at 81 per bottle under a
ledge hidden by some boards. The
Warden found John Short, an ex-
convict, at work in lis distillery;
he had an iron kettle boarded
over, which he used as boiler;
some old barrels contained the
mash, potatoes and carrots. The
still was in full blast and from a
half.inch gas-pipe twisted into
worm ran a good stream Of toler-
ably fair spirits. John was search

Attempt 10 Murder.

For several months Peter dc
Frintz and JOHN Miller, both llol.
Iapders, have been epamored OF
one fair female, Mrs. Overdelinde,
She is the same woman who was
shot by her husband two years
ago, the said husband being ex7
tremely jealous of the partner OF
his bosom, and who for making
so violent u manifestation Of his
jealousy was sent to State Prison
for fifteen years. De Frintz and
Miller lave pursued their court
ships for some while, and several
times came into collision with one
another, and it is alleged that Mil.
Ter has threatened TO do Dc Fritz
injury unless lie withdrew his suit
aud left a clear track.
.
The latter is an employee Of
Mr.. Ransom E. Wood. While
locking up the ice.house on this
gentlernan's premises, about 10
o'clock Wednesday night, he
heard the report Of pistol, and o
bullet entered his side just above
tho right hip. He turned sudden.
~, and saw man standing among
the bushes whom he claims to
have easily recognized as Miller,
and spoke to him, saying: "John,
you've shot mew The man i'm
mediately turued and ran. Frintz
succeeded in reaching the house,
and Dr.. johnson was sent for,
who came and extracted the ball.
The wound was not a severe one,
though made by a large cartridge,
and Sheriff Haynes says that a
careful examination of the scene
of the rencontre shows that the
would.be assassin could not have
stood four feet off when he fired.
Frntz was able TO be brought
down yesterday afternoon, and to
confront Miller who was arrested
early in the day by the Sheriff,
and brought up before Shinkman.
The examination was ecessarily
brief, and nothing definite was
elected; but the prisoner was CON-
mitted in default of $500 bail
to appear for further examination
this morning. The case bids fair
TO prove a warm one before its
ending Grand Rapids Times,

.CHARLEs IL. RosooE, an engi-
neer on the Providence & Spring
field Railroad. is entitled to the
credit Of performing a generous
and daring feat which few wonld
have attempted, and fewer still,
perhaps, wonld have been able
successfully to complete. On Fri
day evening, Mr.. James Black, Of
Pascoag, accompanied by two 9TH
or men and his son, went in a
boat upon the reservoir, fishing.
Tie night was dark, foggy and
rainy; tho boat was overturned,
and the occupants thrown into the
water. One man swan for, and
reached the shore for aid; Mr..
Black ard his son were drowned;
the tourth person clung to the
boat, a half mile from shore, for
two ard half hours, shouting for
help. No one dared to brave the
darkness and danger of the hour.
AT last, Mr.. Roscoe heard of the
casualty, and seizing a lantern
hurried to the scene. Realizing
the urgency Of the case, lie sprang
into the water and swan to the
boat, and found the survivor bad
ly bruised, unable either to keep
on top ofthe boat, or to swim
ashore. After a short rest, Ros-
coe swain back towing the boat

There has until recently resided
in Watrousvillc, a youth who was
smitten by the charms Of one of
the fair maidens of that charming

engagement of marriage. The

nup;ials was set, and on yester-
day our rural hero started for this
city after the wedding outiit. Hav-
ing heard something OF the dan
gers that bcset the unwary in this
city. he borrowed q revolver OF
his bctrothed, and with satchel,
and $50 in currency, started forth
in high hopes fnr the future. On
arriving in tile city he found many
attractions, anil fell In with one
or two young men who were very
accom- modatiDg, and were anxious
to show linn, around. They did
show him around, and home, the
prospective wedding, were all
forgotten. Last night the young
man, minus his hat, satchel, and
$50, ipenniless but st'll proud,
started but Of the city in the dircc.
ton of St. Louis. To one who in
qnired regarding his forlorn con-
dition he gave the experience of

his return, and thought out in the

Killed in the Roll.'Way.
By ALFRED b. T"ZER.

IILlf an hour before sunrise, on
a certain December morning OF
year moi lung since passed
away, William Tyncr, lumberman,
wrenchcd oIcu the door of the
long Logging shanty he opened in
com mon with halt hundred 9TH
er lumbermen, kicked a drift Of
new!y-fnllcn snow from the thres
hold with right boot which an
swered not lily the purpose of a
snow shovel, and went plodding
out to the stable with a smoky
lantern in one mittcncd hand and
a great bundle under the other
arm.
Tyner was tall and muscular,
tic might have been compared,
and not inappr"priatcly, consider
ing his erect and rotund figure,
with the best ofthe straight pines
he slashed about day after day.
Indeed, to continue the compare
son, we might add that-like the
future lumber supply-it was his
characteristic that lie became un-
reliable at the top. Set him at u
dead lift aud he was your man ;
but once set about utilizing the
upper portion = which in HE case
was represented by a low, narrow
head, covered with shaggy hair
behind the shaggy whiskcrs in
front-once set abont utilizing
this supposed location Of intclli-
gcncc, | say, and there straight
way came to view such a fertility
of obstinate knots and awry
growths that anything It worked
into was certain to be wocfu!ly
perverse ard out Of shape.
Half an hour passed away; the
winter sun came up with not a
cloud between it's round face and
the dark stretch Of Michigan pine
lands and nothing more Of Ty
ner. lie ought to have been down
a quarter OF an hour ago. The
sun made noiselcss and successful
battle with the fire.lit windows Of
tho cabin, and drowsy men came
out TO bask in the benehcence
Of the victor. Later, it peercd
over the dizzy height ot the roll
way, and pushed icy s,alactites
from the ihawing caves. Later
still the out.rour Of smoke from
the kitchen chimney ceased when
the chore boy went ont on an er.

was no sign of call to breakfast,
norofTyhcr coming to draw water
from the spring. Another half

and curious man went 10 the

and Watchdog asleep on the

that the least infraction OF the

pecially was he warned against

time and there had been no COM

conductor while collecting fares,
came to the old Railway magnate,

"Hump young man, you are
getting mighty arbitrary. Il you
don't &" about your business Ill

The young conductor made no
reply, but gave a vigorous pull
upon the bell rope. AS the train
checked IT'S speed, and the father
saw that he was about to be trea.
ted like any other passenger, and
was really liable to be set down
beside the track midway between
stations, he pulled out his wallet
and paid his fare. This little cpis-
ode..gave him ne " insight into his
sons character, and lie forthwith
commenced casting about for him.
The two, while on a Western trip,
came to Dubuque, and the father
purchased the elevator for his son
and gave his check for the re-
quisite amount to carry on the
