Lost RAILROAD Cars.

The following is from an interesting
article in the Philadelphia Press Tray
elers up and down any line of railway
see daily hundreds of fugitive freight
cars extending in broken lines along
the side-tracks, and reaching many
miles out OF the city. They belong to
hundred different railway companies,
each bearing the initial OF the proprie-
tary road, and In the general Office of
the company, whether it be in New
York, Pittsbnrg Or San Francisco, there
are records that show just where the car
Is standing and why 1t Is there. For
instance, IL the car is detained an un.
warranted length Of time at German
town junction, the Pennsylvania rail-
road receives "searcher,n either BY
telegraph or train service, asking why
the car is not sent home. In this way
a great railway stretching half way
across the continent, and with It's rolling
stock scattered over every State In the
UAion, keeps an account of its stock,
numbering in the case of the Pennsyl-
vania more than 10000 freight cars of
of all kinds. Occasionally one of the
number Is lost altogether, and then the
complicated railway detective service is
set at work. The last clue TO It's where
abouts is traced out, and in time the
lest car Is found somewhere between
Texas and Montreal. As soon as the
car is unloaded 1t should be started
back to the road from which 1t came,
but in New England they turn 1t over
as the common property of the road, and
1t is run back and forth carrying local
freight. 1t Is not an uncommon thing
when car is loaded and sent to an
Eastern point that 1t is not again heard
from for three or four months. In the
IN santime there are more than 100
clerks employed on the car accounts,
and week after week searchers are sent
out for the missing car. A fair idea of
the magnitude of these accounts may be
had from the fact that the entire move
ment over the Pennsylvania Railroad
exceeds over 10000 per day. Lost
freight cars, which were formerly hunted
by travelling agents, are now traced by
"searchers," official documents, which
contain the number and description of
the lost car, and the date at which it
was last seen on the Pennsylvania road.
These documents are forwarded in the
wake of the car, receiving many official
signatures on the way, and finally over
take an agent who has the car In charge.

The 400 Girl Strikers.

The 400 girls employed as strippers
in Lorillard's tobacco factory in Jersey
City are still ON strike. The firm has
decided to employ 600 hands at its
factory at Louisville, and have the
stripping done there. The leaves will
then be shipped to Jersey City. 1t is
claimed that by this plan the firm will
save money, as it will not be compelled
to pay the freightage on The stems,
which by the former system were
shipped to the factory in Jersey City.
1t is expected that the Louisville fac
tory will be in operation in about a
week. In the mean time the stripping
for the Lorillards is being done in New
York.

AMUsEMENTs.
THE PERFORMANCES THIS EVENING.

THE PERFORMANCE THIS EVENING.
Under the management of NJ. B.
Leavit., the Hyers Sisters will appear
this evening for the first time Ia this
city, in their musical comedy of "out OF
Bondage"
Speaking of the company the Cincln-
natl Gazette says:
The female characters were all good.
Louise Hyers as Kaboolah was an anus
Ing gypsy. The musical star of the
evening was Madah Flyers, the soprano.
Her singing evoked perfect thuHder OF
applause. In tbe duet with Louise, "I'll
Sustaining the Furious Encounter, ,"from
Ii Trovatore, she made good impres
sion, but 1t was in her rendering of tho
Cavitana from Traviata,a brilliant solo, !,
that she showed the remarkable range,
culture and purity of'her voice. In this
selection, she sang, without effort, with
perfect distinctness and volume, L fiat
above the staff.
Monday evening next, Mr.. Charles E.
Ford's Opera Company will present for
the first time in this city, Gilbert and
Sullivan's new opera Of "Patience,o the
present success.
The libretto is essentially Gilbertain
in Its composition. There are the same
quaint conceits, the same oddities, and
tue same good-hnmored satire. 1t is one
OF the best of Mr.. Gilberps productions,
and it must be admitted that even in
England the success of the opera is due
more to Mr.. Gilbert's work than to Mr..
Sullivan's music, though it contains
some OF the "catching" airs which made
"Pinafore" such phenomenal success.
The story is ingeniously narrated by
Gilbert ,the idea of "jutyo which served
so we'll in the "Pirates," being again
impressed into service. There are as

ties, Bunthorne, who is Swinburnean

AN ARKANSAS HANGING.
Cal. Huey, One of the Murderers Of
John Broadway, Pays the
Laws Penalty,
He Dies AyOwing His Innocence
of a Crime That Was Cow
aFdIy Executed.

Osceola, Arkansas, last Friday af-
ternoon, was the scene of a hanging.
in which Cal. Huey was the principal
actor. 1t will be remembered by the
readers of the LEDGER that during
October Of the fall of 1879, John
Broadway, an old man residing with
his family near Frenchman's Bayou,
not far from the foot of Island 40, was
brutally murdered by
FOUR MASKED MEN,
who entered his dwelling at night and
shot him down in cold blood, because
he refused to give up three hundred
dollars, which the masked men de-
clared he had in his possession. The
four men who thus outraged the law
were named Potter, Jeffrics, Ford and
Huey. Their arrest soon followed.
At the trial, Potter, although con-
sidered the
RINGLEADER OF THE GANG,
was permitted to turn states evidence
and on his testimony Ford was con-
victed at Marion, Arkansas. A sew
erance was granted in the case, and
Jefries and Huey were kept confined
in the jail at Marion. Husy after
wards succeeded in obtaining a change
Of venue to Mississippi county, and
was taken to 0sceola. Shortly after
the conviction OF Ford, Jeffries, aided
by Potter, made his escape from the
jail at Marion, and is still at large.
FORD WAS HANGED
at Marion on the 18th of last June.
He declared his innocence on the
scafold, saying he knew nothing ofthe
killing, and his life had been sworn
away by Potter. Huey was also cor
victed Of the murder, and be too ha,
paid thepenaltyofhi crime. The hang.
ing was witnessed by four hundred
people, half Of whom were colored.
The condemned man made a short

REMARKABLE ESCAPE,
A Broken Car Wheel on a High
TresLle.

The freight train going south, Sat.
urday last, on the Mississippi and
Tennessee railroad, Fogarty conduc.
tor, met with a singular accident, and
had almost a miraculous escape.
When passing oyer the bridge which
spans O%oldwater, thirty miles south of
Memphis, and is the highest on the
road, one Of the wheels Of the ca
boose broke, with a loud explosion,
and dropped the truck down
on the rail, but without
jumping the track. The train was
running at the usual speed, and the
engineer was not aware of the acct.
dent until a brakeman a forward
and gave the alarm. When the train
was stopped it was found that the
shoe Of the brake had caught the re-
mains Of the wheel and hold it in its
place SO that it slid on the track for a
distance of 300 feet instead of re-
volving,
Had the car jumped the track at that
point it would have torn the trestle to
pieces and perhaps thrown the whole
train from the bridge. 1t was a close
call, and without a precedent in the
experience of the trainmen. The
caboose was pulled a mile and a half
afterward to a side track, was repaired,
and yesterday came up the road as
good as it was before.

rHE oprRA.


1t was variously remarked by judges
of music and admirers of the lyric
drama that the opera Of William
Tell" as performed by the Strakosch-
Hess troupe, last Saturday, wa the
smoothest AND best rendered opera
ever performed in this city. All of
the artists did well, and Nine. Torriani
was especially noted for excellence,
both vocally and in a dramatic sense.
In the evening the sparkling and
always pleasant Bohemian Girl was
rendered before a small but a very
~appreciative audience. Miss Abbie
Darlington carried the auditors into
frequent pitches of enthusiasm by the
excellence of her singing in the part
of Airline. Her dramatic and vocal
powers had full scope for illustration,
and the lady satisfied all listeners
that she is a true artistic. Indeed,
her rendition was a complete triumph
from first to last. At the close the
lady added an exquisite aria t., her
score, in which exercises Of theEmost
trying character, and that can only
be accomplished by a finished q ,%.tiste,
we're admirably r ndered. The lead
