fully the average amount of land has been

As We insimated. o day or two ago, It
seems difficult to get OF reliable data, as

railroad questions. Mr.. HUBBARD, In his
Communication yesterday morning, quotes
MI. WHITNEY, the agent Of tho Q. q r.
road at this point, as his authority for The
statement that the charges for transferring
freight between Bridgeport and Wheeling
were In the neIghborhood Of $4,000 per
year. Mr.. WHITNEY informs uS that Mr..
HuDBARD has mistaken him altogether on
this point Indeed, he authorizes us in
so many words TO say that II Is impossible
that he could have said so. He has
often said, he admits, that Wheeling en-.

$4,000 q year from both roads-the @. &

Primary EIec,Ions.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, July 1O.-The Re.
publican Congressional primary elections
in this city to-day were warm and spirit
ed. About 600 votes were cast in West
Des Molnes Township and 459 in East
Des Molnes Township. The contest was
between John A. Kasson, present Con-
gressman, and Gen. J. "A. Williamson.
Kasson carried both townships, having II
majority In West Des Moines Township
and 90 In East Des Moines. Kasson ar
rived home from Washington last Mon
day and has spent the whole week In
active electioneering and making personal
appeals for support, having abandoned
his previously announced position OF not
being q candidate. There ia considerable
feeling over the result amongsthe friends
OF Williamson, who claim that William.
son would not have been candidate only
on the plain understanding that K&son
would not be q candidate. Williamson
has always been partisan friend and
supporter Of Kasson.
William Story, who was wounded BY
the premature discharge ofa cannon here
on the Fourth Of July, died tonight.

TEE Philadelphia Ledger publishes an
interesting article on "Local Longevity"
in which careful analysis Is made Of the
deaths recorded in It's obituary columns
during the first six months oi1sH. Two
hundred and eighty.two lived to the age
OF eighty years, OF whom ia were men
and 1893 were women. The statistics
Of the corresponding hslf Of 1878 were
similar, the number Of women reach.
Ing ripe old age being much larger than
that Of the sterner sex. Further obser.
vation shows that in Philadelphia at
least, the women are the longest lived, as
the women who lived beyond ninety are
double the number Of the men. OF the
four centensrisns. that died three were
women, The male centensrian, Thomas
Mccoy, was one Of that inexhaustible
class of long lived beings who fought at
Waterloo. Among the other deaths Of
which special mention is made was Rev.
Isaac James, a local Methodist preacher,
aged 81 years. Capt, William 1. Elder
and Henry Story, both soldiers Of the war
Of 1919, aged 90 and s3 years.

AS regards the actual facts Of the case,
we understand that the free deliveries OF
both the Cleveland & Pittsburgh and the
Baltimore & Ohio roads do not amount to
more than about the half OF $40 900 all told

by Mr.. HuDBGRD in his speech at the

morning, which was that an amount Of
transfer business was done between
Bridgeport and Wheeling sufficient to
yield $4,000, in the way Of charges for

the charges of all kinds collected by the
transfer agents were added to. those paid
outside Of the transfer. r.agents they would
amout to $4,000. Mr.. HUBBARD's idea,
as we take It, was to show that business
was done;by. the Cleveland q Pittsburgh
road with this city equal to OF producing
that sumator transfer expenses, his object
being to show the amount Of business
that awaited the completion of the

There are some men Of the class who
