ing curve near Plumbers Station (52 miles
from Little Rock, the rear car of the mail
train, containing thirty-two passengers, was
turned over down an embanknent and drag
ged some 900 yards before the train was
stopped. Twenty-four of the passengers
were more or less injured, and one instantly
killed.
at Brooklyn, N. Y, recently, mother
locked her two children up in room while
she went out and while absent the house
took fire and the children were burned to

A system of ticketswindling has recently
been discovered on the Pan Handle route,
between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, and sew
eral of the conductors and ticket-agents
have been arrested for being implicated there
in. 1t is said that the conductors failed to
punch many of the tickets taken up by
them, and handed them over to the agents,
who resold them and then divided the
profits.
The New York Cotton Exchange have de-
cided after the first of next September to in
clude ordinary cotton in contract delivery,
and that not more than % per cent. ordinary
and strict ordinary be delivered ia any con-
tract for 100 bales.
At Woodville, Waseca County, Mimi, on
the 18th, German woman named Mrs
Buser and her daughter aged two years
were murdered by a man named Ruff,
who afterward cut his own throat with the
same weapon, butcher-knife. 1t Is SAID
| that Ruff and Mrs. Buser had been living
| together for some two years past. and that
| some of her neighbors had brought an
action against her for adultery. The muir
der and suicide were coolly premeditated by
| both Mrs. Buser and Ruff, as appeared by
letters written by them just before the terri
BILE deed was enacted.
The Wilson Credit Mobilier Committee in
their report to Congress, say the Union
Pacific Railroad cost $50, 900, 900. which was
wholly reimbursed from the proceeds OF
Government bonds and first mortgage bonds,
and that from the income bonds and land
grant bonds, the builders received in cash
value at least s23OO0,O 900 as profit, being q
percentage of about As per cent. on the en-
tire cost of the road. In the opinion of the
Committee, the Company had no right, as
against either its creditors or the minority
of its stockholders, to distribute any por-
ton of it's capital as dividends. Still more
uniustifable was it to squander in dividends
money borrowed of the Government, or on
first mortgage bonds. There is no evidence
of mismanagement by the present Directors
of the Road, and the Committee see no way
in which those who hold stock which they
have bought in good faith can be disturbed.
The report closes with bill directing the
Attorney General to begin suit Immediately
for the protection OF the interests Of the
Government in the road, and the recovery
of the sums of which both the road and the
Government have been plundered. Mr.
Swami, of Maryland, agrees with the Com
mittee so far as they go, but thinks they
fall short of their duty in not making recon-
mendations for the treatment of the Con-
| gressmen who had dealings with Cakes
Ames.

The rating of vessels as now carried on by
the agents of certain insurance companies,
without the vessel owners having voice in
the matter, is the cause Of dissatisfaction and
complaint among vessel men. The result of
such rating is thought to be arbitrary to say
the least, and sometimes, perhaps, governed
by caprice. Vessel owners have no confidence
IN this system, and have good reas ON to know
that in some cases, at least, they are made 10
suffer injustice. The, agitation of the matter
now, is TO secure new survey and rating be-
fore the beginning of business the coming sea-
son, with the desire to make such an arrange
ment, as will place the matter in the hands of
a committee so constituted as to have both the
owner aud insurers interest represented. The
feeling is such, that there is little doubt bu,
that more impartial, equal and just system
| will: be inaugurated, one in which vessel own
ers will feel that they haYe voice In rating
their vessels, and thereby fixing the class Of
freight they shall carry, and thereby the re-
turns made to the owners pockets,

CONDUCTOR LANE, of the Jefferson Accom-
mediation, is very pleasant and gentlemanly
officer to trust yourself with, either for trip
to Cleveland or jefferson. His ready atten-
tions to the wants of his passengers are uni
formly rendered with such genteness and
kindly spirit that leaves the impression that
he shares largely in the pleasure he confers
This is an inducenent for taking his train
whenever practicable. But this is not the only
inducement. There is another of equal, if not
of paramount importance 1t is not, however,
of social character. 1t concerns your CON-
fort in another direction, and not only your
comfort, but your security and safety. 1t
arises from the skillful manipulations of the
throttle valve of the locomotive, and master
ly control over the propelling power of your
movements. From the moment of starting,
and all along the route, and at every success
i've stop and start, the idea is present with
you, that the man whose hand rests upon the
lever that regulates your motion, is no novice
in his calling The steady, unwayering uni
formity of your velocity, becomes forcibly ap-
parent, and as you think of it, you say to
yourself, "there is purpose and design in this
result. The man to whose watchfulness and
care 1t is due, understands his business, and is
impressed with the importance of the trust
committed to him." The signal note of the
whistle is heard, and the brakes are applied.
and you become sensible of the gradual and
agreeable approach to station. The momen-
tum of the train is lost so gently, that you
hardly realize when you come to a rest, un.
less, perhaps it is detected by the relative DO.
siton of the train to the station. You are re.
minded again of the docility and obedience Of
the iron steed to his masters will. Having
come to a stand, it is the right one and there
is no need of short successive starts and stops
well nigh jerking you from your seat. At
the signal for start, your Inconsistencies Is
drawn upon for the exact instant of the start
II not imperceptible, it is about as near as Won
can get to it. Its adroitness surprises Won. and
by this time you become not a little interested
to know to whom you are indebted for All this
careful and considerate usage. You know, OF
course, that tits to the engineer But who is
the engineera The man with the begfimm med
face, and oleaginous garb, cooped up at the
head OF the train, where you can neither see
him or speak to him, to offer him your thanks
| and tell him OF your gratitude But here
comes the conductor, and you convulsively
and almost inyoluntarily sieze him by the
button hole, and appeal for relief "oh, !" says
Mr. LANE, with one Of his blandest smiles
Tthat is Ross-ARrHuR Ross. He is noted fol

Information obtained from an officer of the
Michigan Southern s. Lake Shore Railroad,
says the Chicago Tribune, goes to show that
there is deficit of about $40, 900 in the moneys
in care of the Cashier of the freight department
of that road. The money is alleged to haye
been taken for an individual investment, with
the intention of returning it in full but, the
panic coming on, it was found impossible to
raise the money. The Cashier is said to have
made full statement of the affair to the Audi
tor of the road The name of the cashier of
the Freight Department whose accounts, show
such deficit is j. j. Gillispie.

NEWS oFFIcEs.-Among the institutions to
which our growing Importance has given
birth, are news depots. Lampman, at the old
store adjoining the Ashtabula House, has a
variety of periodicals. such as are dema nded
by the reading community of the place, which
are supplied at narrow margin from cost.
The stock will be increased as the demand
seems to warrant In connection with this
kind of stock in trade, smokers and consum-
ers of tobacco and cigars, will find shoice
supply always on hand.
WILLIE REEVES has also started depot at
the cigar store of eur neighbor Masters, where
the people will find a good selection and
choice of reading matter, and assistance to
subscribe for any given work.

picture Of religious intolerance and borrid ma

ring his life, they dug up his bones after his
body had lain in the grave forty-one years,
and by decree Of the synod ofConstance, pub
licly burnt them, and his ashes were thrown

The selections OF the two readers formed
strong contrast. One represented the highest
type offriendship. the other the extreme Of ha-
tired and cruelty. What a strange compound
man Is "Viewed in one aspect, be almost re-
sembles demon; In another, he still bears
the impress Of the image Of God" Seen in his
superstitions, Intolerance and prosecutions, he
may well be mistaken for an incarnation Of an
evil spirit; contemplated In his social attach

seems bright intelligence from heaven.
