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 2, Iva 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 viii 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 Egreat energy.
There are now three in operation, and
two others are rapidly making their
was to completion. The Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad re-
Gently formed an alliance with the
Southern california; Pacific, which
constituted a 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 Ia 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 tc
such an extent that no section, North
or South, East or West, can reasonably
complain of any deficiency in means
of transportation, and no demand car
be made upon the Government with
decency for any future railroad sub
sidy.
1t may be that there has been toe
much railroad builing OF late. 1t may
be that a considerable portion of tht
new railroad investments will prove I'm
profitable. 1t may be that a forced
growthof railroad system and premature
efforts at the development of new ter
ritory will hurry forward the mex
panic. But when the reaction shall
come, followed perhaps by a col
LAPSE like that of 1873 and long perioc
of business depression, the country vii

in the West and Southwest for thos,
who may be thrown out of employment
in the large cities. There is no cause
for repining in this unparalleled era o
railroad building.

NEW YORK, April 14.-There were Ill fail ures in the United States reported to Brad streets during the past week, decrease of from the preceding week and more than during the corresponding week last year. The decrease was almost entirely in the Mid de States, which had 19 failures, decrease of 12.

 NEW YORK, April 1.-The Metropolitans not content with their experience of Wednes- day with Lynch pitching against the Provi- dence club put him in to pitch again in to- days game, and the consequence was that they were completely knocked out of time. The visitors punched their hits most beauti- fully in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings and scored nine runs all they got in the game five of which were earned. The Me. tropolitans only scored in the third inning. when Lynch was given his base on called balls and scored on a clean home run by Nelson. This was the finest hit of the game Ward made two pretty three-base hits of Lynch, and Start and Denny each made a fine two-bagger. The fielding on both sides was fine.

4 Courteous Hearing for Strikers,


 LAWRENCE, April 1.-The committee of the Pacific mill strikers which have been on tour to Fall River, Providence and other manufacturing places to secure aid returned home this afternoon. In Boston to day they had an interview with Treasurer Henry E. Saltonstall of the corporation They were received courteously and laid the case of the strikers in full before him. They were heard patiently and deferentialIy. The treas urer expressed surprise to learn that the con. duct of certain overseers was thought to be so partial, brutal and generally reprehensi- ble. The management had known nothing of the existence of abuses and he intimated that the matter would be investigated and no cause be left for similar complaints in future. He explained the fluctuations of the market to the visitors and other causes necessitating reduction of wages. He assured them that the managers had the welfare of the opera tlves at heart, and if they choose to return to work at the reduced schedule the wages would be raised as soon as practicable. The committee, which consists of John OgiIvie, Miss M. E. Haley and Miss Sarah E, Durgan, will report to meeting of the strikers to- morrow, and it is generally thought the re- suit will be the growth of better feeling and the return to work of the strikers.

Death of a Catholic seminarian.

After several months of close confinement Mir. John Welch, a student in St. Bonaven- tures seminary at AIleghany, N. Y, passed away on Thursday evening at his home cor ner of Broad street and Rose Court For the past eight years he had been pursuing his studies preparatory to entering the priest hood, and looked forward with happy antici- patton to the day when two years hence his term of probation would be rewarded. But his hopes were not to be realized, for the reaper has gathered him within his circle. His constitution, never robust or rugged, succumbed under the strain that close appli- cation to his studies had put upon it, and though he sought restoration in changes of his alma mater he could not rebuild his shat tered system. Several months since he was compelled to relinquish his studies and come home, and since then had gradually failed until death came to his relief. Mir. Welch, while of a retiring disposition, was neverthe- less a favorite with all who knew him. Cheer full and hopeful always, gifted with fine men tai endowments, gentle and unassuming, im- bued with deep religious devotion, he charmed all who came within his presence and attracted involuntarily their admiration and esteem. His death at the early age of twenty-two years, when already he had crossed the threshold of the sanctuary, is tinged with peculiar sadness, and the hearts of many friends in this city and in the institu- tions where he studied willgo putin sympathy to the parents upon whom the cruel blow has fallen. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock from St. Johns R. c. church, when a solemn high mass of requiem will be celebrated.

Another Diatribe From Guiteau-Hfs
 Visions of Jersey Avengers.
 WASHINGTON, April 14.-Guiteau prepared another statement to-day relative to his af- fairs and gave it to the press associations for publication. He denounces Scoville for de- serting his case and abuses him in the usual terms. He says he gave Scoville $275 within the past two weeks, but wants nothing more to do with him. The conduct of Mrs. Sco- vile is spoken of in the same strain as the first statement. He is excited over her in- terference in his business matters and de- clares himself not lunatic. Charles H. Reed, he announces, is his only counsel now and he has full confidence in his ability to deal with the case in the court in banc.
 Guiteau was visited by 8 party of Land League delegates from New Jersey. He was greatly agitated until he found they wanted to satisfy their curiosity. He thought at first they might be Jersey avengers. It is ex- pected now that the bill of exceptions in his case will be argued May 15.

Steady Decline-Shipherd Refusing to
 Answer Certain Questions.
 WASHINGTON, April 14.-The committee Investigating MT. Shipherd to-day tried again to get at the true inwardness of his relations with MT. Blaine and General Grant, but made little headway. Shipherd said that the sub jsct of war with Chili was not mentioned in connection with the Landreau claim. He was asked how it occurred that Mir. Blaine sent dispatch on the 17th, indicating that the Peruvian company was a bubble, that his interview with the President took place on the Sth, and on the 18th Mir. Blaine sent another dispatch, which was entirely different from the one of the 17th, and replied that he was only cognizant of the chronological facts, and would not attempt to give an explanation. When asked what he understood by the marginal note upon Mr. Blaine's dis patch, ''Go in, Steve" Shipherd said his i'm pression was that the wishes of the depart- ment were that Mir. Hurlbut should go in the course he was pursuing regardless of the text of the dispatch. Witness declined to state whether the draft of instructions. which General Grant indorsed, had any allusion to the possibility of war with Chilli. He would at the proper time produce the original He also declined to answer regarding the expen- allure of money by the Credit Industriel to influence the diplomacy of the United States. He said he never received an autograph letter from Secretary Blaine, and that all the cor respondence that had passed between them had been published. MT. Shipherd was ex- cused till tomorrow, and Mr. s, A. Brown, chief clerk of the State department, was ques- toned with regard to some of the printed documents.
