st. Paul, MIMI, 1S.-Patrick Lyon, q
railroad man, of Iowa, was arrested al
Anoka. charged with the robbery OF
Hayes Brothers, found dead in their
room, it is supposed. from suffocation
by an exploded oil lamp. They had
$500 when they entered the room, and
only two dollars when found. The be-
lief is that the man who discovered the
smoke in the room robbed them.
Kansas City, 18.-The number of dead
bodies found in the Missouri River at
this point, recently, has given rise to a
suspicion that there is an organized band
of Thugs at. work at some point on the
river above here. A few days ago the
body of young woman, entirely nude,
was taken out Of the current. Yester-
day, the hesdless body of a man was
found floating, and to-day the body of o
man, with his throat cut from ear to ear,
was found floating few miles below the
city.

a Mexican Hotel.

The Mexican hotel furnishes you lodg-
ng, that is all You engage your room
by the day or month, and you get your bcd
and toilet. Or course we ring for the ice
water, more Americana, and the waiter
brings us water without ice; we ask if we
can't get ice, and arc told that VIC can if
we send ont and buy it. Before going to
bed my chum thinks Of his physic, and
asks for warm water; the waiter can't get
us any warm wafer, because the only place
to get it Is at the bathing establishment,
and that is closed at $50. We need a
spoon, and sent tho boy for one; he returns
and reports that the restaurant is closed,
and the cafe, won't trust INN in the room.
60 down TO the cafe when the proprietor, IL
polite Frenchman, says; 81 am very sorry
10 give you the trouble to come down
stairs; AM very glad to lend you any
thing in my establishment, but l have
lived too long in this country to take the
word OF one of these fellows for q spoon. -"
The force of tho hotel consists of sad
looking clerk, who writes the names of
the gucstsin chalk on blackboard, mel
ancholy custodian of the keys, two bare
footed Comanchc boys for general utility,
and two walters on each floor. 1t is owned
by the lturbcs, who are the richest family
in Mexico. They paid $l30,OG0 fnr the
property, and make $40, 900 or $50, 600 a
year from it. They own the whole block,
tho Hotel Bazaar, the Hotel San Carlos, and
whole blocks of the best property in the
city. There arc two of them. and their
fortunes arc estimated at $4,000, ,O0O
apiece.

Railroad ltroWth,

The vast railroad system Of this country,
and, indeed, all the railroad systems of the
world are the growth of half century.
In 1880 the whole number Of miles of road
in operation IN the United States was onl,
twenty three. For nineteen ycIrs ending
in 1849 the progress Of railway construc-
ton was very slow, and there was compar-
atiYcly little system about it. The average
annual rate of construction was only 3l4
miles. During tho next twelve years tho
average annual rate was 2,O55 miles. Then
came the war period, when the energies of
the people were diverted from peaceful
pursuits, and the average annual rate of
construction Tor the four years ended in
1866 was only 8l2 miles. But the war
period was not lost, for it brought to the
knowledge Of men certain possibilities in
railrOadng not before realized. The con-
sequence was that when peace was restored
railway construction was resumed with
great energy, and the number of miles Of
track laid increased year by year from 1888
In 1864 to 1870 in 1871. During tho
years Of depression following tho panic
there YVES decrease to a minimum or ! ,9l7
miles IN 1876. Then came another revival,
and the construction last year was about
$500 miles. We had twcnty-thrcc miles
of road in 1880; we have now more than
Sd, 900 miles, and by the end Of the present
calendar year we will have more than
enough TO girdle the globe four times over
at the equator
