THE RAILROADS.

New YORK, Aug. 2.-Judge Brown, in
the United States district court to day
granted stay of proceedings in the suit
against the Central Pacific r. r. Co., until
such time as the president should appoint
a railroad commissioner in place of Com
missioner French, resigned. The stay eX-
tends 80 days after such appointment and
time for taking testimony is extended
three months beyond the stay in order to
| give the newly-appOinted commissioner an
opportunity of familiarizing himself with
| the questions at issue. The suit was
brought to protect the lien on all the as
sets and property the company created in
favor of the government by an act of con-
gress.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2.-Passenger rates
to Boston are reduced from $20 to SO,
and to Buffalo from $18.25 to $3.50.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The announcement
of a So. passenger rate from Chicago
to Boston. via the Grand Trunk, was an
nounced from the East several days ago,
but the Grand Trunk agent did not receive
instructions on the subject until to day.
The So rates go into effect to morrow, with
the rebate plan.
The Times says that the freight agents
of the trunk lines would only say that they
were not receiving freight at lower hgureS
than schedule rates, and have therefore
not demoralized traffic. Such statements
are fiatly contradicted by the merchants
and Pool Commissioner Fink, who declares
that the roads have utterly violated their
obligations regarding the cutting of rates.
The New York Central is selling tickets to
Chicago for $50 with drawback OF S13,
making the actual cost 81 for the fare to
that city. The Pennsylvania Company was

The road is now selling tickets at 81 with

81 straight, with no rebate tickets and no

A Fool Once More.

For ten years my wife was confined to
her bed with such complication of all
ments that no doctor could tell what was
the matter or cure her. and I used up a
small fortune in humbug stuff. Six months
ago saw L. S. flag with Hop Bitters on
it, and thought would be fool once
more. I tried it, but my folly proved to
be wisdom. Two bottles cured her. She
is now as well and strong as any mans
wife, and it cost me only two dollars. Such
folly pays.-H. W., Detroit Mich.

She Wanted Hubby TO Scratch Her
Rack.

+" Clara Belle " In Cincinnati Enquirer.l
A youthful wife is one Of The wonders Of
Saratoga at present; not so much because
she is only seventeen as that her husband
is sixty. The difference ia their ages is
fully apparent. for he looks all OF his years,
while her face, manners, and dress are eX-
tremely girllsb. More than that, she has a
baby--a dot OF thbOg only three months
old; it seems like doll in its girl.motber's
arms, and she is mighty fond Of displaying
il. When the nurse brings 1t to her in
the midst OF party OF young fellows, and
she demurely walks of TO her room TO give
it nourishment, they get mad with envy at
the veteran husband. That makes the
Young women Jealous OF her, and altogether
she is a highly-aggrayatng little creature.
The most affecting thing she has done yet
was at a big hotel hop. She wore a dress
quite low in the back, and was rayishngly
pretty. While she danced her venerable
spouse sat out on the yeranda smoking and
chatting with a circle OF men, old and
Young. Suddenly she ran out TO him, put
her hands on his knees, bent her head into
his lap, and said, in the tone OF a child 10 a
parent:
"Please scratch my back"
The old fellow thrust his hand down the
back OF her dress a little, clawing her soft
skin with his brown, wrinkled fingers.
"A little to the other side" she MUIR
INJURED; there-tbars the spot. Thank
you"
And she ran back to her waltz partner,
totally unconscious ~ OF the tnging she
had caused among the male spectators.
