| THE RAILROAD WAR.-At last that frog-so
long preparing to jump-has made his leap and
is fairly settled into position across the rails of
the Grand Trunk and Eastern railroads. About
| six o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Smith,
road-master of the Boston and Maine Railroad
with large force of track layers, proceeded to
tear up the rails of the two roads whose tracks
were to be crossed Oh Commercial street at the
head of Smiths wharf. He met with no oppo.
sition. A large crowd of spectators
watched the proceedings with the greatest in
terest. individuals among the crowd, from
time to time, gave vent to their feelings in such
remarks as "Bully for the Boston and Maine"
''That means fight" whats tho Eastern
road about that they don't interfere" and these
remarks, though occasionally addressed to
friend, were mainly thrown out as the general
property of the crowd. One individual who
seemed slightly unsteady on his legs, exclaimed,
That's the way we Boston and Maine rellers
do things" By ten o'clock the work of put
ting in the frog, rearranging the disordered
rails, and surface grading, was completed and
one part of the great question so long moo.ed
was settled. The scene during the evening was
picturesque. A large bead light threw flood
OF brilliant light upon the gang of workmen,
while large number of lanterns in the hands
OF persons constantly ON the move gave to the
whole affair quite romantic tinge.
1t appears that the Boston and Maine Com
pany not only own Smiths wharf, by a recent
purchase, but the tracks already laid upou it,
and further than this they claim to own the
switch which connects the wharf tracks with
the main tracks. A prominent Eastern rail-
road official Informed a PRESS representative
at the time the frog was being put in, that if
a double track-meaning Grand Trunk rail
was put down across their track they would
tear it up. j. 7. Furber. ESQ.,, Superintendent
of the Boston and Maine road, who was pres
ent while the frog was being laid, declared that
if the Eastern road people attempted to tear up
the frog, it would be some time before any
trains would pass over that portion of the Com
mercal street track again. The Boston and
Maine claim that the frog is really laid down
upon land owned by them, on the ground that
the lana was never decided to the city or to the
railroad ,mpany, and that they alone, by their
recent purchase from st. John Smith, esq.,,
have the deed of the land. The city and rail-
roads only had granted to them the right of
way and the right to fill the flats with earth.
1t is intimated that the Boston and Maine Rail-
road Company waited, before making this ag-
gressive movement, for the writ to be served
upon the Maine Central Railroad Company
Roadmaster Smith selected six men and in
structed them to lie in ambush through the
night where they could be able to observe it.
any attempt was made to remove the switch,
and if there should be any such attempt made
to notify him Immediately.

CAPITAL PuNIsHMENT.-The psendo-
humanitarians, remarks the Springfield
Union, who advocate the abolition OF
capital punishment, are addicted to
quoting mythical statistics form the ex-
perience Of Western States, as to the ad-
yantages of imprisonment over the gal
lows as check to murder. The United
States census, however, has something
to say on this subject which has little
more authority. In 1850 there were in
this country 81 executions and 999 muir
ders in population of 81, Al, ,32l, and
in 1870 there were 81 executions and 3
O57 murders in population of 80, $780,
59S. When murderer in each 10 was
executed there was only 10 persons in q
million murdered. When we executed
murderer in every 16, the murders rose
to 81 in million, and when we executed
murderer in every 66, the number OF
murders was So in million. These
figures show that the smaller the pro
portion of executions to the number o
murders, the larger the proportion Q
the murders to the population. w,
fear the advocates of the abolition OF capi
tai punishment will find this very har
nut to crack.

WHAT THEY HATED.

An amusing incident occurred recently
in a smoking car of a train running be-
tween Shelby and Cleveland, Ohio. A
woman accompanied by poodle dog,
entered the car just prior to the depart
and, after depositing her dog on one
seat, turned over the back OF another one
so that each faced the other. Together
she and her canine companion thus mo-
nopolized two entire seats. Appear
ances seemed to indicate that she was
not aware that the car was one exclu-
sively for the convenience of those ad-
dieted to the use of the weed" but Of
this fact she was soon apprised by the
conductor who advised her to obtain a
seat in another car, informing her at the
same time that the accommodations in
the way of seats III the other coaches
we're superior to those where she then
was. Hhwever, she insisted on remain
ing, urging that her presence would de-
ter the occupants of the car from smok-
ING and she would consequently expe-
renee no discomfort from the fumes Of
tobacco. Long before the train reached
Cleveland, however, a gentleman sitting
directly in front of her produced his
case. and taking therefrom a cigar, be-
qan putting away at it in a manner which
seemed peculiarly calculated to aggrivate
the strong-minded woman in front of
him. In an instant, by strategic
movement, she wrested the obnoxious
cigar from his mouth and threw it out of
the window, exclaiming:
If there's anything / do hate, it's
tobacco smoke"
The passengers who had witnessed the
affair were convulsed with laughter but
the offending smoker suppressed what
ever emotions may have been struggling
for expression in words or actions, and
maintained throughout the same imper-
turbable gravitywhich had characterized
him from the beginning.
Calmly rising from his seat he opened
the car window next to him, fastened it
ND, and reaching over into the next seat,
took that waman's little poodle dog and
threw him out of the window. as far rs
possible, at the same time exclaiming
'If there's anything do hate it's a
poodle dog"
The scene which followed beggars de-
scription The car resounded with peal
after peal of laughter, and as the ex.
treme ludicrousness of the affair became
apparent to the principal actors in it,
they too joined with the rest. Despite
the regret incident to the loss of her dog
the woman could not repress her incli
nation to laugh at the unexpected finale
of the affair

PRESIDENT MAcMAHoN's ANcEsToRs.-l
The MacMahons, are descended from
Brian Boru, who was King of Ireland in
1914, and acquired great renown as the
conqueror Of the Danes, over whom he
gained decisive victory at Clontarf. A
petition to King Louis is extant, where
in Maurice MacMahon, knight of Malta,
formily Captain of Cavalry in the regi-
plicates both for himself and for the
Marquis d'Equilly and the Bishop of
killera, his brothers, that "he may be
permitted to represent before all tho
princes that they draw their eternal pa
ternal origin from the lords OF Clon-
dirala, in Ireland, who were descended
from the lords and princes OF Glare. who
were issue of the ancient monarchs OF
Ireland. Their attachment to the Catho-
lie religion and to their legitimate prince
having deprived them of their profess
sions and titles, they find it impossible
to establish their noble and ancient ex-
traction by literal proofs. But they
have proofs and testimonials beyond all
suspicion, and admitted by the tribu-
mails, which establish their nobility not
only from the wear 400, but even up to
Brian Boru, monarch of Ireland, in the
beginning of the eleventh century, and
that they are of the same family as the
Earls of Thomond:" whom the King
had ''honored with his favour This
document is accompanied by other pa
pers from which it appears that the
French MacMahons are descended from
the two brothers, Maurice and John,
who settled in France in the wear 1850
the first of whom shared the fortunes
of Prince Edward in Scotland, served il
the Spanish army, and afterwards Was
made captain in the French service; the
second was created Marquis 'Equilly
and admitted to the estates Of Burgundy
The MacMahons were fighting race
and their names frequently occur in thu
French military annals, sharing in th'
disasters as well as the glories which at
tend the French arms. At Waterloo on
of them behaved with great gallantry
The battle was lost, but it was necessar.
to make desperate effort to cover tn
retreat of the scattered army. "Charge
keep charging, boys" said MacSlahol
to the Third Cuirassiers. "Marshal,
said the Colonel. Eve are so cut up 1t
certain death for us to charge; 20
know it, Embrace me, my friend,
was MacMahons only reply, and the
the two gallant soldiers led forward tn
regiment which made those three terr
BILE charges that are recorded among tt
great deeds of the French army. Onl
l09 men of its number remained and ,
these all but eight were wounded.-N.
