RAILROAD NOTES.

New YORK, August 1. Some freights
are taken as low as 124 cents hundred on
some roads, which is % cents lower than
the fourth class rate announced by the
Grand Trunk. There seems to be at pres
ent little probability of the end of the con
test The Grand Trunk line has now car
ried war into all its departments, freight
and passenger, east bound and west bound.
Boston dispatch to the Times says
The Grand Trunk, in its effort to force the
crisis in the railroad war, by cutting the
fare from Boston to Chicago to So, an
nounces its determination to reduce the
fare from Chicago to Boston to the same
figure to morrow. Whether the other roads
viii follow this latest step, 1t is not posi-
BILE to say. 1t is thought they may not
come down to So basis, but it is believed
they will reduce to within one or two dol
lars of it, claiming that the difference is in
favor of their routes on account of the
shorter time of journey by them. Travel
from Boston to Chicago has considerably
increased, while return fare has remained
as high as $14. Now that it costs only SIC
for round trip the increase will probably
be more marked The Chicago and Crane
Trunk road are reported to be preparing
to run two fast trains from Chicago to Bos
ton, though there is still only one train a
D. IN. from Boston.

So far as the Democrats are concerned,
it is clear their future depends upon the
better men of the party getting control of

A WHISKY SHOT.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. Charles Schlerfent
twenty-five years of age. son of Catherine
Schelfent, who runs soda water factory
at No. 25, n. Eighth street, blew his brain:
out this morning about 7 o'clock. He had
been drinking hard for several dogs, and
while nearly crazy this morning attempted
to shoot his mother. He also made a mur
derous assault with big hatchet on Louis
Croft, who is employed in the factory, but
did not succeed in hurting him. He then
went into an adjoining saloon, took two
or three large drinks, and then drew his
revolver placed it against his right eye
and sent ball through his brain.

opinion at least ten of them are fatally in

The surgeons have decided to make anoth-

paratus, but say they viii not cut the ball

less 1t becomes troublesome, and such op-
Grafton shall become necessary, they dc
where 1t is, still they are desirous of inves-
tigating its location. So far as the expert
ments have gone they have sustained
Bliss theory of the course and Judgement
of the ball. Mrs. Garfield was out at the
soldiers home yesterday looking through
the presidents cottage, as it is now thought
probable he will be carried there lust as
soon as he is able to be more.

FOREIGN CROPS.

LONDON. August 1.-The Standard, in
an article on harvest says: 1.-THE general
opinion in Market Lane is that there is an
average wheat crop in England, and the
great majority of reports from distant dis
tricts confirm that opinion. The barley
crop cannot tail to be an average. The
root crops are less promising than they
have been at this period for many years.
Potatoes, however are as good as roots are
bad. The Prospects in Scotland are much
less favorable than in England. The most
auspicious reports of all crops come from
Ireland

SALE OF THE IsTHMUs RAILROAD.

While it does not appear after all the NOISE
that has been made about it, that any apprc.
ciabe amount Of work has yet been done by
the Lesseps company toward opening the
Panama intcr.oceanic canal 1t does appear that
the French company, of which NJ de Lesseps
Is the figure head, have succeeded In soaring
the Panama railroad company into sale of
their property to the canal company. Does it
not begin to look as if the intlmations thrown
out in England year ago, and so Indignantly
secuted at the time by NJ. de Lesseps, that
the real objective point of his Panama cam.
paign was to get control of this railroad, were
true? The French are ambitious to build up
a vast colonial system, something like that of
England, and are looking with covetous eye
on the many temptIng islands OF the Pacific,
approach to which would be vastly expedited
and simplifed it they had control of the
Panama railroad. But do the treaty stipula-
tons between America and the Panama gov.
eminent IN behalf of that railroad company 90
over to France with the transfer OF the prop
erty? If so, the sale is bigger one than the
of the Isthmus railroad probably
thought they were bargaining about. There
is vast American commerce on the Pacific
that is largely dependent on free access to this
side by means of the railroad In question.
Suppose France takes notion she wants to
that commerce and denies such
access to American steamships and sailing
vessel lines? Isn't this reported sale of the
Panama railroad to the French something
that Mr.. Blaine ought to look alter?
