His first years salary was $3.50, and his
second years but 500. AT the end of
his second year, having become dissatis-

the Office. Mr.. Bowles then offered him
a partnership in the office, and aquarter
of the establishment was sold to him for
$500, his notes being taken for that

There is at present every prospect OF

young man from Jersey City, who had

Miss Jacobus, called on her on that day

told him it was loaded, but he did not

clans who were summoned pronounced
the c Sc necessarily fatal, and did not
even think that Miss Jacobus would
linger more than an hou or two. In
stead of that she is still alive, and the
case is attracting considerable attention
among the medical fraternity Of New
Jersey. The wound was about nine
inches in diameter, but the greater por-
ton of this was made by the powder

a half inches long and two inches wide.
The tenth and eleventh ribs were frac

"FouR tracks," said the man, ION the
New York Central railroad, is as great a
mistake on the part of Mr.. Vanderbilt as
was the six foot guage on the Erie and
Great Western railroads twenty years
ago. The heavy snow storms to which
central New York is subject (the snow
living on the ground four or five months
every winter require those four tracks
to be cleaned, and the snow carried to
an immense distance. In double track
railroad you merely throw the snow on
each side, but that cannot be done with
four tracks, and you must not only
shovel it, but transport il, requiring an
immense amount oflabor, repeated many
times in winter. The same difficulty
happens when they are going to make
repairs in their road bed. You have got
to take up four emhankments instead of
one. Now, no railroad in the world
has yet reached the limit of service for
two tracks. The Pennsylvania railroad
carried more passengers to the centen-
nial exhibition than was ever moved
over any line on this continent, and two
tracks we're enough. With your two
tracks you have an endless circle, never
clogged; and with your block signals,
telegraph, etc. collisions are absolutely
unnecessary. The leading railroads of
England, such as the Northwestern, sd
init that a double track has never been
tested TO its limitation."-"Gatb," IN ths
