Living on top Of coal mine must be a
novel situation. A property owner in La

of in the morning or goes to bed at night
whether his back yard will be on hand in the

And the city enjoys a similar experience
with her streets. On last Friday evening,
for instance, a bus going home from the thea.
ire, carrying two passengers, when on Lundy
street. and between Sterling street and the Wa
bash road, got into hole near the middle OF
the street. which was about ID feet long, II
wide and deep. The heavy rain had filled
the hole with water and flooded the surface of
the surrounding street to a depth of two or
three inches Some one had placed in the
hole long pole to mark The danger, and this
projected out of the edge of the cave across
the middle of the road, but the cloudy night
obscurcd the pole, and the surface water con.
cealed the cave, so that everything appeared
all right to the driver, though the horses tried
to dodge the pole. The horses got into the
hole and dragged the bus on themselves The
driver jumped off into the mud, while the
passengers, not seriously hurt. had rapid
scrambing to get out of the bus, with one
end IN the hole with dry skins The hole fell
into No. Q two weeks ago The papers report
another dangerous hole IN Vermillion street

some damaged goods WAS not Of a serious M

arrive here until Z. ~, OWING to the train
being "ditched," caused by broken wheel.
Everything was speedily repaired, however,
and all trains are now running AZ per schedule.
On Tuesday nigh. the office Of the Rock
Island road was burglarized during the tenn
porary absence of the freight operator. The
culprit, who was almost caught tdgrdnte dS-
lictu, named Charles McLaren, had hearing

fault of bail WAS committed to await the &C
ton OF the grand jury. The amount abstract
ed from the money drawer OF the company
between twelve and thirteen dOllass-was
found in McLaren's possession, and portion
of 1t identified by Mr.. G. w. Marion, the

Railroad Progress.

In 1880 there we're said to betwenty-
three miles Of railroad in the United
States; at the close of the year 1881
there were l04,8l3 miles OF road. The
largest increase in any one year was in
1881, when it reached l1,142 miles;
the year before it was TIA. Last
year we built as many miles of road as
were in operation in the whole coun-
try in 1852, and one.third of what
we're completed up to 1866. This
year the increase will probably equal
that OF 1881.
The estimated value Of the whole
system, as represented by its capital
and floating debt, is $5,0l0,389,579.
The gross earnings for two years
would about pay the bonded debt of
the United States, as last year they
amounted to 1875, 1925, ll9. OF this
amount $448,67l 900 were paid in OPP
Grating expenses, $276. 654, l19. If the
Government should confiscate all the
railroads, pay nothing for interest or
dividends, and fix the charges simply
to earn enough to operate the roads
and keep them in order, there would
only be a reduction in rates Of thirty
three aud a third per cent.
OF the earnings last year, 1851 $685.
Az came from the freight department
and $l73,356,642 from passengers, or
76 per cent for freight and "a for pas
senger traffic. The rates charged for
freight in this country are now on an
average, but the passenger rates are
on the whole high, especially when
compared to freight charges. Whom
the usual rate for passengers is
l cent per mile, the passenger earn
ings will show a large increase. 1t i;
not rash to predict that this will be
the rate before 1900.
Such figures stagger ones magma
ton. The'marvelous development oi
our internal commerce thus exhibited
surpasses anything ever dreamed Of by
the early projectors of the railroads
The value of the tonnage in 1850, al
$50 per ton, was $3.50, 900 900, or only
$40 per head of the population. In
these twenty-five years the population
has more than doubled, but the ton.
mage moved now exceeds $500 pei
