RAILWAY BUILDING IN 1877.

The Raa.0ay Age, of Chicago, publishes
statement of the extent of railway build
ing in tho United States during tho last six
months, which shows that, up to July l,
1864 miles of track had been laid, as against
$50 miles in the same period in 1876, 400
in 1875, and $50 in 1874. In every year
noted tho track laying of the first six months
was from ono-third to one>ffth only of that
of the year. This points to a mileage of
5000 miles or moro of new track in 1877.
The Raivny Aye says: "a very notable
feature is the amount of narrow gauge track,
all three feet, except one (thc Philadelphia
and Atlantic City, three feet and one-half).
OF the 705I miles built 2S3, or over forty
per cent, are of this class-a pretty good
evidence that the narrow-gaugo theory has
inherent merit, and is destined to form very
important portion of our railway system, in
spite of the opposition of some who can see
no good in any gauge but tho standard. We
believe in both, in their appropriate spheres.
The cost of railway building was never SO
low as now, and yet it costs great deal of
money to build railways of any kind in any
times. The economy of narrow-gaug roads
has generally been ovcrrated,. and the ex-
tremely low figures anticipated by some have
seldom been adhered to. On the other hand
the enormous rate of SAC, 900 to 100000
per mile, at which our principal lines were
formerly built, has been greatly reduced for
the best roads of lato years. 1t will, per-
haps, be fair to estimate the average cost of
the roads in the above list of both gauges,
including equipment, at sig 900 per mile.

A PHYSICIAN PoIsoNs HIS OWN CHILD.
In Cincinnati recently, DR.. f. NJ. Epstein
visited drug store and called for six grains
sulphate of morphia Cinstead of six grains of
quinine, as he intended,) and administered
one-half the dose to his little son, four years
of age, who had been i'll for some time. The
child survived the dose but few hours
The dose was properly labeled sulphate of
morphia, but the physician failed to read it,
and hence the fatal mistake.

TIE EASTERN WAR.

Tho Eastern War news for the week is that
the Russians have repulscd the Turks at the
Shipka Pass in the Balkans. The Turks re-
port repulses of the Russians at several
points. The Turks have carried, by assault,
some Greek entertainments. Repeated at
tempts to dislodge the Russians from the
Shpka Pass have failed. Both sides, how
ever, claim substantial success. The dispute
between the Russians and the Turks for the
Shipka Pass continues.
The Turks stormed the Russian right flank
a. the Shipka Pass on Thursday night, but
the eclipse of the moon put stop to the
fighting. Later eombats, however, resulted
in Turkish successes, and it is reported the
Shipka Pass has fallen into their hands.

New RULES on TIE BALTIMORE AND
Ou1o.-We ascertain that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company have introduced some
new rules and regulations that operate for the
advantage. convenience and comfort of em>
ployees. among them the following: Each
engine has a regular crew Of hands that OPP
crate it, when used. Nearly all are enabled
to make full time, as it is aimed to have force
employed sufficient to do the work, and no
more. At the end of divisions. places are to
BIO provided where employees can rest and be
comfortable waiting for return trips. One
chief grievance complained of was being
frequently called up long before their time
for leaving arrived. This has been remedied
by aid of telegraph, so arranged and sys>
tematized that no man can be called more
than an hour before his train moves out
Every employee being called up is allowed
quarter of day time, whether assigned to
duty or not When engines are laying off for
repairs or necessarily idle, the crew desiring
to go home are entitled to passes over the B.
g. o. r. R.-Kcyscr Tribune.
