Railroad Notes.

Railroad NOt6S.
The March statement of the Grand Trunk
shows loss compared with March, 1881, in net
earnings of 1000. That of the Great Yves
tern and Canada loss of 100000.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad company
has begun survey of a new route for the pro-
posed line to Philadelphia; it runs parallel
and close to the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore road all the way, and instead OF
crossing the Susquehanna above Havre de
Grace, will skirt that city.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says that during
the last 80 years the United States government
has given away to railroad corporations not less
than 1911 ,653, 401 acres of the public land, 2l,-
554, POI acres more than comprise the great
state of Texas. And yet there is scarcely
case on record where railroad has fulfilled It's
part of the contract made with the govern
ment, when the land grant was made.
The use of electricity for lighting railroad
cars has been lately under consideration by the
management of the Consolidated Road in Con-
necticut. The plan talked of is to have the
dynamo-magneticma machine generating the cleo
tricity placed in the baggage car, and operated
by connection with the car wheels. By hav-
ing each car provided with recently invented
apparatus for the storage of electricity, sum-
Gent supply of material to keep the lights go
ing for some time could be. kept on hand, even
if connection with the original source of sup
ply were shut off by dividing the train.
There are rumors that some of the fast
freight lines between Chicago and the East are
again cutting rates.. Shippers say they are Oh
fered better rates than those made public, and
much ill-feeling exists among officers OF the
trunk lines.
The railroad Gazette reports the construc-
ton of 900 miles of new railroad last week,
making an aggregate of 2503 constructed thus
far this year.
1t is stated that there is now enough freight
lying at st. Paul and between Chicago and
Winnipeg, all bound to the latter point, that
if twenty-four trains per day of fifteen cars
each should be despatched, it would take at
least twenty days to get it all on the way.

Buttering the Cat.

Sunday night, while the officer on that beat
was at lunch, burglars broke out the middle
pane of glass in the Milk street window of
Andrew Leighton's meat market, which is sit
uated ION the corner of Milk and Market
streets. Entering through the hole thus made,
the burglars opened q money drawer and stole
from it what change there was in it, which
amounted to about fifty cents, and key to
the outside door. Upon the bench over the
money-drawer was tub of butter. The play
full burglars amused themselves by throwing
balls of butter at the cat, which is left in the
shop nights This was evident from the fact
that the cat was covered with butter and balls
of the butter were scattered all around the
shop. When the officer on that beat returned
from lunch, he discovered the break.
