Con. Johnston is making an earnest can
vass Of bis district and Is everywhere received
with enthusiasm. He has the solid support
Of the city Of Richmond, and In the country
tho opposition has been reduced to O. very
vulgar fraction. His friends are working with
hearty good will and great spirit, and have
worked up such g. powerful feeling In his
favor that very few people In the district,
native or foreign, white or black, will vote
against him. The National opponent will be

TIE RAILWAYS OF THE WORLD
Prof. Bodio, the head Of the Italian
General Statistical Office, has published
some statistics which show that in 1850
the length Of the lines open all over the
earth was no more than 10000 kilometres;
in 1875 1t was as much as $4,000 kilos.
In the quarter Of acentury, therefore,
the mileage had been multiplied nearly
ten times. According to Prof. Bodio, in
the quarter Of a century under review
there was lrid out on the lines construc.
ted twenty.sir or tweuty.seysn hundred
hundred millions sterling, or, say, rough.
ly, enough to pay of the existing nation
al debts Of the United Kingdom, France,
the United States, and Russia. Prof.
Bodio establishes the fact that working
expen,es are higher on State than on
private lines. Thus the working eIpen.
ses Of the State lines are in Belgium ".
95 per cent Of the gross receipts, against,
61.l5 per cent for the private companies;
1850 in Prussia against 66.4O; and in
the rest of Germany $3.50 against 5s.1s.
Another important fact shown is that
the cost Of railways, Including 1.-THE cost
Of construction and Of rolling.stock, is
constantly increasing. Thus the cost per
kilometre rose in Austro.H Hungary from
10000 10 $4,000 francs between 1850
and 1913; in Germany from 9ls,OoO to
$4,000 between 1855 and 1s75;in Belgium
from 2s7, 900 to 2S4,OoO between 1866 and
1870; and in France from 1000 to 4Ol,.
900 between 1856 and 1875.

that the squabble about the San stefano
treaty IL going to end in a general diyi-
sion Of the spoils that Russia has Won,
between all the European nations, new
claimants for a share in the division are

Austria expect to get quite as much as

the division and undoubtedly has a nice

"Do sleep?s do dream' do 1 wonder and
doubt?
Are things as they seem, or are visions
about?"
The excitement over ghosts at
Marillo's house, in the Mission val-
ley, continues to increase, and
large crowds of people fiocked there
yesterday to see for themselves the
doings of the ETHEREAL visitors.
Night before last, Messrs. Phil.
Brady and E. w. Elliott, passed
several hours in the house, and
they tell of wonderful things hap
pening under their observation,
such as the inability of half a
dozen persons to prevent table
when placed in the middle of the
floor, from moving against the
wall; their utter failure for hours
to light lamp or candle, and Of
hearing strange rappings through.
out the house.
REV. FATHER UBACH,
In letter to a gentleman in the
city, inviting him to come and
view the premises, says: "You will
be satisfied that there Is something
very extraordinary going on
there that beats anything have
either read Of, or seen of that kind.
1 challenge any man, no matter
who, to contradict or deny its fear.
full reality. The performance there
is simply terrific, and surpasses
anything that spiritualists can ac-
count for"
Numbers of persons, who went
out yesterday, attest the truth of
the assertions already made con-
cerning the haunted premises. The
family, owing to their reduced cir
cumstsnces and the fact that har-
vest time has arrived, cannot leave
the house and are in continual
state of terror. Nearly all the
clothing of the ladies has been torn
up, and only that on their persons
is not cut, torn or destroyed.
A visitor who left the scene of
excitement at one o'clock yester-
day, said that the only manifesto
tion made up to that time during
the day, was to upset another bee
hive, and to write the names of per-
sons on paper in the room.
Another large delegation OF citi-
zens will visit the premises to-day.
