The Brakeman.


Soon after the opening Of the
East Tennessee and Georgia Rail
road, there chanced to be travelling
over the line, in car where there
were but few passengers, gentle
man who was seated opposite the
stove, wrapped up in his shawl and
meditations, night came on. Pres

Strutting up to the stove, he slammed
down his lantern, kicked the mud

copiously and noiselessly on the

thighs, took survey of the afore-
said boots, with harness leather

of the 'scustomer" sitting opposite,

heightened and saucy look, as though

Railroad Building.

The railroad building of the last two
or three years has been simply marvel
Gus. The increase of milage in 1880
was reported by Poor to be 7,174 miles,
which exceeded the construction of any
previous year except 1871, when 1879
miles of road were built. The extern
sion of railroads within the present
year will probably prove to be still
larger. New lines, renewals of track, and
connections of different systems have
been heard of in ali sections of the
country. All the roads connecting the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts have been
pushed forward with |great energy.
There are now three in operation, and
two others are rapidly making their
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad re-
Gently formed an alliance with the
Southern California; Pacific, which
constituted new, independent, and
through route to the Pacific. That
was the second. Since then the Texas
& Pacific has reached the Southern
Pacific at Socorro Blance, point about
eighty miles east of Ell Paso, and this
gives third Pacific route, running to
New Orleans by way of San Antonio
and Shreveport. The reports from the
Northern Pacific la fourth route) indi-
cate steady progress in the work and
business, which increases as rapidly as
the road is extended. There are still
other routes in rapid process of con-
struction. The Southern Pacific pro-
poses to extend its system to Calves
ton, which is designed to be the most
direct outlet for the California grain;
and Huntington intends also to make
the Ohio & Chesapeake, with contem-
plated connections, another Eastern
outlet for the Southern Pacific, travers-
ing Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia,
with an Atlantic port near Fortress
Monroe. The Atkinson, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad is likewise extending
an independent line in the direction of
the Pacific coast. Meanwhile the Jay
Gould syndicate is pushing forward the
railroads into new Mexico, and the
prospect is that within eighteen months
or two years, the American Continent
will be honeycomed with railroads to
such an extent that no section, North
or South, East or West, can reasonably
complain of any deficiency in means
of transpor tation, and no demand can
be made upon the Government with
decency for any future railroad sub
sidy.
1t may be that there has been too
much railroad builing of late. II may
be that considerable portion of the
new railroad investments will prove I'M
profitable. Il may be that q forced
growthof railroad system and premature
efforts at the development of new ter
ritory will hurry forward the next
panic. But when the reaction shall
come, followed perhaps by a col |
LAPSE like that Of 1873 and long period |
of business depression, the country will |
still have the railroads, and there will |
be accessible and selfsupporting homes
in the West and Southwest for those |
who may be thrown out of employment |
in the large cities. There is no cause |
for repining in this unparalleled era of |
railroad buildinp

ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF HIS LIFl


WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.--The central
figure, Soteldo, of the late riot in the
Republican office has been the absor-
bling topic at the capital since the muir
der. His biography is as follows:
"He is native of Venezuela, and is
regarded as a man of strong passions
and extremely vindictive disposition by
those who know him. He was at one
time employed in the New York Sun,
from which paper he was discharged
by Mr.. Dana, after a bitter quarrel.
Subsequently he threatened to shoot
Dana, and for some time that gentle
man lived in constant apprehensions of
bodily harm from Soteldo.
His career here began as managing
editor OF the Republican under Mr. Will
liam G. Murtagh, the same position
Mr.. Barton now fills. His journalistic
career was marked by q fierce raid
upon the gamblers of this city, which
was kept up through the local columns
of the Republican for several weeks. He
was next employed as the Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Anaeri-
can, the Indianapolis Journal, the San
Francisco Chronicle and the short-lived
Baltimore Times.
He is still engaged in this line, and
is also clerk of the Senate Committee
on Railroads.
Soteldo's wife is in Ohio. He mar
ried daughter of John Clements, a
very rich railroad man and contractor
in Cincinnati. His brother-in-law is
Mr.. III. M. Clements, who formerly kept
the Lindell Hotel in st. Louis, and now
keeps the Clarendon Hotel in Sara
toga."
