The Losers of Freight.

Upon inquiry among large number
of claimants Times representative
learned that Mr.. Kingston's circular of
the 18th instant, inviting interested par
ties to send in their claims to the railroad
company, to be presented to the author-
ties of Allegheny county and prosecuted,
if necessary, without cost to the claim
ants, was not we'll received. 1t was is
sued before a consultation had taken
place between the committee of the Mar
thine Exchange ana the president and
directors of the railroad. A prominent
member Of the Exchange said yesterday
that there was disposition among a
large number of claimants, who were not
ron the committee and who had not been
fully informed of the position taken by
the railroad company, to disregard the
circular and bring suit against the corpo-
ration. One merchant, who expressed
the same views as many others with
whom the reporter talked, said: 1--WE are
advised by counsel that the railroad, as
common carriers, are directly responsible
to us. If we abandon our Claims against
the railroad company and place our bills
of lading, invoices, etc, in Colonel SCOTS
hands he may pr, secute aud collect our
claims, and he may not. We have got II
good claim against the RAILROAD and at
present we do not feel disposed to aban-
don it,"
On the other hand, Colonel Scott
claims that the railroad is not responsible
under the law of common carriers; that
the law of this State makes Allegheny
county responsible to oaoners. He says
that if the company is sued by losers it
will defend itself, and that merchants by
suing the railroad will virtually abandon
their claims against Allegheny county,
and that such action will embarrass and
retard the final settlement of the claims
He proposes to give claimants any Sc
curity they may ask which does not in
volve an admission of the responsibility
of the railroad, and he also proposes the
appointment of joint committee, COM
posed of representatives of claimants and
directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
who shall have the direction and control
of all prosecutions. A member of the
Maritime Exchange committee told the
reporter that the committee were satisfied
that Colonel SCOTS proposition should
be accepted, and that all the claimants to
whom the committee bad explained the
proposition were Of the same opinion.
The same gentleman further said that the
committee do not intend to urge any
course upon the meeting of claimants,
but simply to explain the situation as
they understand it.-Philadelphia Times.

Sailing CATTLE.-AlthoughI do not
belong to that class of farmers who think
it absurd that cattle should have salt,
still my practice, extending from the year
1887, has proven to me that salt is not
necessary to the welfare of dairy cows.
In the country where l was born and
raised, dairy country per Sc, no dairy
man ever thought of sailing his COW, and
healthier COWS and better dairy produce
/ have never seen, although have travelled
extensively. 1t being the prevailing
idea in this locality that cattle should be
sailed, l tried the experiment in 1867 on
my dairy farm in Virginia. l did not
perceive any increase, either in thrift or
milk production, but found that salt,
placed where cows had access to it at any
time, curtailed the yield of milk. Hav-
ing made this trial solely for my own
satisfactiSn,I did not continue any fur
ther nor make close observation, the gen.
eral result satisfying me that it is not a
necessity for dairy uses. A limited
quantity may be beneficial, but free ac-
cess to salt, so far as have experienced,
is detrimental to milk production.
Meanwhile l must not omit to mention
that the localities of which speak were
under the influences of the sea air. In
countries far removed from the coast, salt
in larger quantities may be beneficial to
cows.

Horses and Mules Eating Dirt.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune asks why horses and mules eat
dirt when turned out Of close stables, to
which Professor Low replies: "Most
commonly the habit is an indication of
acidity in the stomach, and to be cor
rected by improving the digestive func-
tons. Horses are at special disadvan-
tage in the matter of stomach complaints,
inasmuch as they cannot rid themselves
by vomiting of anything that disagrees,
and are unable even to belch up accumu-
lated gas. Then the stomach is much
too small to allow of heavy feeding or
the formation of much gas without in
furious overdistention, hence, of all
domestic animals, the solipeds should be
fed with the greatest care and judgment.
Like human beings, they have their
periods Of acidity, or heartburn, and
having no opportunity Of taking soda or
magnesia, they lick the lime from their
walls, or the earth from their pathway.
For temporary relief piece Of chalk
may he kept in the manger, but. we
should seek to remove the radical evil by
giving better tone to the stomach.
Fead sound grain and hay in moderate
amount and at regular intervals, and
don't drive or work hard an hour after
each meal, lest digestion should be i'm
paired. Give few carrots, turnips, or
other roots, if available; water regularly,
and never just after meal, and put an
ounce Of common salt in the food or
water daily. Any existing weakness
should be corrected by course of tonics
such as oxide of iron, two ounces; cal
cined magnesia, two ounces; powdered
nux vomica, one and half drachms
powdered fennel seed, two ounces; mix.
Divide into eight powders, and give one
morning and night. The habit has been
sometimes cause by deficiency of min
eral matters in the food grown on very
poor soils, but this may be corrected by
similar treatment.-Portidnd Tran
script.

THE Martini Henry rifle, with which
the Turks are armed, is the wellknown
Henry rifle of America, with some i'm
provements by Martini. 1t is believed to
be the best weapon in use by any army.
1t will carry accurately up to 800 yards
over mile, while the accurate range
of the Prussian needle-gun is not over
700 yards. AS many rs sixty shots u
minute have been fired from the Martini
Henry gun without taking aim, and
thirty shots minute have been fired at
a target with reasonable degree Of sue
cess in hitting it. Trials of fast firing,
without aim, from number of rifles,
have resulted in an average for the Lopez
of fifty shots minute; Martini Henry,
forty; Wesley Richards, thirty eight
Henry, thirty-eight; Remington, thirty
French Chassepot, nineteen; Berdan
Russian), eighteen; and the needle-gun,
nine. The cooking arrangements OF the
Chassepot and needle-guns are very slow
in action. This is the kind of a weapon
the Russians are driving their heavy
masses in front of. 1t is evident that
they have not a shadow of success by
direct attack. A single line of Turks
can slay all the Russians that can be put
in front of them. The Russians must
develop new system Of tactics. One of
our veteran infantrymen could show them
more tricks in the way of encountering a
deadly rifle fire than they are likely to
learn for quarter OF century.
