Nor SUITED FOR THE STAGE.-Net long agt
a San Francisco reporter called on Mcguire
of the Baldwin Theater, aud said he woulG
like to sell him play.
"Well my boy, I'm bothered to pieces will
new plays" said Magsirs,
=" But let me tell you the plot" persisted the
journalist.
Mcguire hated like the deuce to hear the
Internal tireseme plet, but as the reporter
had considerable influence with the press he
determined to be civil to him and told him to
sail ahead.
well, in the first act these is man who
goes crazy"
"Ah," said Mcguire, "a daft man is dead

! wholly confined to the author. How did he
get crankyl'
"He thought some enc had killed his
father and accused his uncle of it,
sob, see, then the detective gets to work
on the clew. Of course you have detective. "
"Oh, he does the detective work himself"
That's bad; how in blazes could crazy
man work up clue. You must change that

''Well his uncle marries his neither.
CHOW here Cap, we can't stand that busl-
ness at Baldwin's. Every tims We try an i'm
moral snap we catch it from all sides. You
must cut the part Of the uncle. It's good, sem
sational but won't do.
"Then the crazy man takes the family to
a theater and gets the actors to ring in a
scene that will remind the uncle of the muir
DER
"All bosh my boy. If man should come
to a theater and ask such an absurd favor he
would be kicked out of the side door by the
scene shifter There's nothing in it. Beside,
how did he know his dad was sailed if he
didn't see it?
"Oh, fix that. his father ghost tells him.
Here Mcguire broke into fit of laughter.
That's dead rot; these blasted ghosts are
too old fashioned for the stage. That won't
work Cut the ghost my boy, cut the ghost.
'Then he falls in love with young girl
who gees and browns herself, being crazy |
too"
Give cranky people in one piece won't |

"Then they bury the girl and at the funer-
al the crazy man has a row with the girls
brother and ticks the officiating clergyman"
"Hold on. Don't put such rot as that in.
It will be Kissed off the stage. A row at =
funeral don't take anyhow"
"Then the brother and the crazy fellow
have . duel; he kills his man; the old lady
lakes poison, then he kills his uncle, and"
Say young man, pause, I've heard quite
enough This is the most internal and con.
founded rot l ever heard Of. They wouldn't
play it in mcclellan. What in the devil do
you call all this blasted trash p
"Hamlet," said the reporter, without a
change of ceuntenance, and then he vanished
through the door. The language employed

A CARD FROM MR.. COFFIN.

To the Delegates elect Of the Ormsby County
Republican Convention
1t has been currently reported, and think
believed and conceded, that would be can
didate before you for nomination for the
Office of District Attorney. l have allowed
the reports to 60 UNDECIDED. for the reason
that my position and action in the contest be-
fore the primaries were such that denial
would necessarily carry but little weight.
During the past month or two have put
forth my utmost efforts to bring about certain
results at the primaries which, in my judg-
ment, were fer the good of the Republican
party in this county, regardless of individ-
uals or individual interests. And now that the
ticket of Delegates to the Convention has
been elected in Carson precinct which has
been reported as pledged to me for District
Attorney and to some of my friends for other
offices, take this opportunity to say that l
have never heard any delegate elect to the
Convention express any preference: even for
any candidate for any Office, and to say fur
Their that am not and will not be candidate
before the Convention for any Office or any
position. So far as my personal influence
goes with you, would respectfully suggest
that Mr. H. F. Bartine is young attorney
of integrity and ability, who would do honor
to the efice of District Attorney. Yours,
TRENMoR COFFIN.

Annual Report OF Auditor French,
LARGE INCREASE OF BUSINESS DUR
ING THE YEAR.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Railroad Auditor
French says the Union Pacific, Central Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Atlantic s. Pacific and
Northern Pacific companies and lines connect
ing Herewith aggregate over 5000 miles of
railroad. "On all these properties" says Mr.
French, "extenson and improvement have
been the order of the day."
For the calendar year 1879 as compared with
1878 the gross earnings OF nearly all the rail.
roads In the United States show an increase of
S40,000,000, or about per cent, the net earn
ings an increase of $32 100000, or more than
II per cent. and an increase in mileage of
about per cent or nearly 1890 miles. This
increased business of 1879 occurred nearly al
together on the railroads of the Middle, West
ern aud South western States, the business of
those in the Pacific, New England and South
ern States not having materially improved.
A comparative statement of tho business of
a certain number of railroads east of the Mis-
sissipp, and that of another certain number
of railroads wholly or partially west of the
Mississippi. aggregating some 1900 miles
each, furnished the following information, that
while the ratio of operating expenses TO gross
earnings on these western roads is say 81 per
cent. the western roads have done three times
the work at only double the cost: that both
these eastern and western railroads have re-
duced their rate per ton per mile IA per cent.
and passenger rates about per cent. on the
average; that the average OF both freight ant
that on eastern roads, and that the average
rate per ton per mile on the eastern roads is
down TO the very low price of less than nine
tenths of per cent and the rate per passen-
ger per mile to 2 is cents
A statement is given showing in detail the
receipts and expenditures of the Union Paci-
fc. The assets of the company, j ne 80, were
S201. .942. .468 SO, and liabilities Sl99, 1865 727 3O
showing surplus balance of $1,974 739 80.
During the year 24S0 miles of branch roads
roads have been added to the line and the
Auditor thinks the investments are conducive
to tho future pr rsperity of the road
The receipts and expenditures of the Cen
trail Pacific for the year ending June 80 last
are: Total receipts, $lS.73l ,474.24; expendi-
lures, $l6,727 .032 AZ. The liabilities OF the
Central Pacific on the Both of June last were
reported as amounting to $171 496, ,29O 35, and

CHICAGO, Dec. A terrible railroad acci-
dent occurred at IL o'clock this morning on

will be questioned in view of the fact that the
electors obeyed the State instead of the Fed
