a SlsOcISing Outrage.

An outrage which seems to have few par
allcls for its inhumanity has occurred on
one OF the Hamburg steamers Herman
Donars, for several years a resident of New
York, went to the office of tie New York
and Hamburg Eagle Steamship Company,
and obtained free passage to Hamburg
on condition that he would work as fireman
during the trip No sooner was he on
board the steamship Leasing than the paid
fireman began to maltreat him in the most
shocking manner.
1t is alleged that Donars was knocked
down with coal shovel. When senseless
from blows he was thrown on the steam
chest near the boiler, where they let him
lie nearly - minutes, although it was so
hot that. according to the testimony
of the witnesses. no one could
Law his hands on it. Donars was thus, in
all probability, roasted alive. The bar
barians who had so inhumanly tortured him
next tied rope round mis- body and hoisted
him up, his head striking repeatedly against
the iron edges of the matches. Donars was
then let down again into the engine room
and carried to the hospital
The surgeon of the Leasing, DR.. Fiedel-
meyer, looked at the body, bled it without
effect, and then examined it and found the
man was dead. The Captain, instead of
ordering an investigation and putting the
murdercrs in irons, enj9ined, it is asserted,
upon everybody not to say word about
the horrible occurrence 10 the passengers,
and contrary to the rules of the ship, he had
the corpse lowered into the sea at four
o'clock on the .ollowing morning. An Of

a rather unique case of true love has
come to light in the Ohio penitentiary at
Columbus. In May 1878, Thomas Miles
and Anna Mcfarland were sent there from
Licking county under the same sentence
for burglary. A few days since, the wo-
man asked one of the guards about Miles
and how he was getting along, and finally
confessed that she had been his sweetheart
and was engaged to be married to him when
he was arrested, and further, that she was
not really guilty of burglary, but had
pleaded guilty in order that she might suf-
fer with her lover. She told the guard that,
if Thomas was still true, she would marry
him when they got out, and Thomas, upon
being interviewed, declared that he was
still true to his Anna. SO tie prison au-
thorities granted them an interview, at which
they saw each other for the first time since
they were imprisoned, and the couple ar
ranged to be married by the prison chap
lain in the prison chapel on the day that
their terms eXpre-the 3lst of January.

New York Central Railroad.

Tie gross earnings of the New York
Central RAILROAD, the past year, as shown
by the annual report just made up, were
T3l $50, 1886, and the transportation expen-
SEES, SlS,3SS, 207, leaving Sl3, 2G2 ,0S9 as the
net earnings. The funded debt has been
increased by Sl0,750, 200, and the total
amount is now 1913, 4Si,742. The floating
debt is not changed, still remaining at the
Insignificant figure of 1,161 Some idea
of the enormous business done over the
road may he gathered from the fact that
the number of miles run by passenger
trains during the year was 4,435,221, by
freight trains, 9,9Sl ,0l0, and in switching
and by working trains, 4,220, 442, making
total of miles run by trains of all kinds of
1896, 103. In other words, if one train
had run the distance thus accomplished it
would have gone far enough to have been
around the globe 5l5 times. The number
of passengers carried was 9,S7S. 3j2. and
and these travelled altogether $50, 7S1 ,54l
miles. The freight carried amounted to
G,l14,G tons, and the total number of
tons carried one mile was / ,39l 800, 101.
