THE FEsT1NIoG NARROW GAUGE.

construction.
THE FESTINIOG NARROW GAUGE.
This is perhaps, the most noted mar
row gauge railway in Europe. It is
fourteen miles in length, commencing
in the district of the Festiniog, and
terminating at the shipping point Of
PortmandOc, in North Wales. 1t has
been in successful operation, by steam
for more than ten years.
WHAT IS SAID OF IT.
Captain Tyler, inspector of English
railways says:
''The adoption of locomotive pow
er upon this little line is very import
ant, and has evidently been very sue
cessful experiment. The cheapness
with which such line can be con
structed, the quantity of work that can
be economically performed by it, and
the safety with which the trains run
over it, render it an example which
will undoubtedly be followed, sooner
or later, in this country, India and
the colonies -
EANINGs.
The latest annual report of the road
within our reach at this time, for 1869,
shows that during that year it trans
ported 136,132 tons, net, of freight,
and 81, 900 passengers. Net income
for the year 1859, f1O,623 sterling, or
nearly $3,70O per mile.
PROFITS.
Upon the above showing the Lon
don Times remarks: "It appears that
the line yields a divident of 294 per
cent, on the original capital"
SPRINGFIELD, JACKSON AND PoMERoY-
GROWTH OF NARROW GAUGES, ETC.
The American people have been
slow and cautious in accepting the
idea of narrow gauge railways; but
these lines of railway have worked
their way into favor, mainly in the
Great West, without the aid of for
eign or Eastern capital, and every
candid observer is compelled to admit
that they meet all the just demands of
the people among whom they have
been tested. New and important lines
of this gauge are likely to be con-
structed in the immediate future, con
Meeting all the great markets with the
agricultural districts of the country :;
and very soon, the only present objec-
tion-that of a break of Gauge in
transportation, will be removed.
The people can build such lines for
themselves, and they must do it as a
measure of protection.
The advantages which may be Sc
cured to the several communities, to
be united by the Springfield, Jackson
and Pomeroy Railway, would proba-
bly, more than equal the cost of the
road to them, within FIVE years, ex-
elusive of all dividends upon the
stock.

tons net; seats so passengers, having

COMFORT.
President Palmer, of the Denver &
Rio Grande narrow gauge says:
''The cars are comfortable, well ven
tilated, handsomely fitted up, and the
$4,000 passengers who passed over
the road last year certainly rode as
steadily and, as far as could be judged,
altogether as satisfactorily, as on any
wide gauge road"

A match game of base bail was played be-
tween the Douglas Avenue nine, of this city,
and the E!dorado nine, of Butler county, last
Friday morning, upon the grounds Of the
former, in which the Wichita boys were
beaten, as the score will show. The day was
intensely hot. and we might offer as an ex-
cuse for the defeat that the Eldorado boys
were not expected until the next day that
our pitcher was not here !; that our nine had
to be filled upon few moments notice; that
consequently our boys started out fearfully
demoralized, but we won't. The Eldorado
club came over in full feather. accompanied by
several prominent citizens Of our sister town,
and calamity and gracefully made good their
challenge by cleaning our boys out. That the
game was good one the score will show
But for the misunderstanding as to tive the
play would have been witnessed by many.
As it was. but an hundred or two were on the
grounds. and but few ladies. After the first
inning the play on both sides was an even
thing. Both sides were white-washed twice.
The pitcher and first baseman, who did such
RADIO club, but were employed from the To-
wanda club. which had cleaned out the Edo
RADIO club before. Ii was good thing for the
reputation and glory Of the EldOradoites that
they made such an acquisition or they would
have went home defeated.

A scmi-tragedy-the 'tother half being pure
fun for the boys-occurred last Friday, re-
sulting in the sounding of the trangle-toc,in
a 'ig excitement. and other things 70 be
enumerated hereafter. 1t appears that the
city marshal bad personally notified some SIX
teen gentlemen, boosting no visible means OF
bread and butter. TO make themselves scarce.
Ono Thos. McGrath, a little willy, clcar-eyed
chap. rot leaving, was arrested. To the mayor
he protested that he could not bear the dis
grace of obeylng such mandate. Neyerthc-
less he was marched off to the police judge.
and from there, by VIM. Dibbs, policeman,
in the direction of some street work, Me
Grath swearing he wouldn't take no ball and
cham in his. and the policeman yocferously
assuring him that he would wear a bali and
chain or he would lay him out before night,
aud forcibly remindin. him that the law was
predominant. When near the corner OF the
Occidental hotel. and in view of several wit
nesses, the prisoner suddenly made up hi>
mind 10 no longer submit to the punches and
filings of outrageous fortune, but by bold
front to put TO flight the travelling arsena. at
us h'tiS- NSuith as "a stitah vi hdnsls CltC-
tricity he captured one piece of the stars ar
tiery and opened up fire, which for vigor-
business was only equaled by the yells of the
retreating officer wlrose body was soon in the
arms of friends, in a demoralized condition,
and whose commission was early next day in
the hands of the mayor. We hope the incl
dent will prove Of value to incautious and
over brave officers, if we have any more upon
the force. No ordinary sized policeman with
only two reyolvers should attempt to handle
one of these small red-whiskcred fellows single
handed. Seriously We think that whenever
it comes TO the pitch that Migrants or others
defy our authorities and on the pretense of
the disgrace resist and threaten officers It is
well for the mayor to shut down most yigor-
ously. As to the police force, it will be re-
membered that we asked Tor Reorganization
this spring. All the people desire is such men
upon that force rs are respectable and rs will
command the respect of good citizens and be
dreaded by rogues. We have seine good men
on the police. but there are others who. how
ever brave. should never be officers of the
law. The result of the trouble on Friday
evening caused the mayor to close all places
of gaming III the city, which at this writing
have not been permitted to reopen.
