W. H. Lsnders, of San Francisco, has
patented an attachment to railway cars
designed to prevent accidents on street
railways and steam trains. 1t is a plow-
shaped device and envelopes the larger part
OF the wheel. 1t is made OF stout plates OF
sheet iron hung from the axle boxes, with
pillow shaped surface in front Of the tread
OF the wheel. When an obstacle is in the
way it falls sutomieally down to and slides
along the surface Of the rail, thereby shut
ting out and casting aside what would other
wise be certain to pass under the wheels OF
the car. This accomplished it is raised, by
springs for the purpose, to its natural posi-
ton above the track Casually about an inch)
and is ready for the next emergency. 1t is
simple and of few parts. 1t can be painted
and ornamented to correspond with the rest
of the car, and will really improve, 1t is said,
the appearance of the car. It can be quick
ly adjusted or removed, and is inexpensive.
This novel device has been thoroughly
tested by the inventor, and has, 1t is report
ed, accomplished all that is claimed for It,

The Division of Statistics of the De-
partment of Agriculture has been charged
by Congress with the collection and
monthly publication of freight rates OF
railroad and steamboat lines for the in
formation of farmers. These data will
be useful and valuable to producers and
shippers. It is believed at the depart
ment that general information concern
ing local prices and cost of shipment
will tend to stimulate distribution of
products, and will certainly aid the pro-
Queer IN determining whether the ship
ment of his surplus will result in loss or
profit. The transportation lines are
cheeIfuIly responding to the requests for
information, and promptly aiding in
giving utility and value to the monthly
publication.

The Republican Situation in Penn
sYlVania.

1t would seem as if the Pennsylvania
s,alwarts have at last recognized the fact
that the election of their candidates this
fill is fOrlOrn hope, and are now will
ing to compromise. They have sug-
gested that all their candidates shall
resign, provided the candidates of
the Independents do the same thing,
and then a new Republican State
Convention is to be called-all Re-
publicans who last year voted for Gar
field to be permitted to vote at the cleo
ton of delegates. Evidently the makers
of this proposition rely upon their
superior skill in the manipulation of pri-
maries, and so expect to secure a MAORI
ty in the new convention, and thus to
recover control of the party. The Inde-
pendents have as yet given ne sign as to
how they will receive this compromise
proposition when it is formally made. 1t
is rumorld. however, that the In
dependents will insist upon a strict OBJ
servance of the platform recently
adopted with regard to political assess
ments. 1t appears that Immediately
after the adoption of that platform, in
which the levying of assessments was
vigorously condemned, Mr.. Cooper, the
Chairman of the stalwart State Commit
tee. proceeded to tax government Off
GERS for party purposes the old way, as
if nothing had happened. 1t is said now
tae independents will insist that, before
any compromise upon any other point
can be thought of, all money taken from
public servants by the stalwart State
Committee by way Of assessment be
promptly returned to the last farthing.
The New York Eoeajng Post thinks
that this would undoubtedly be telling
point with which to begin the negotia-
ton. 1t says "the stalwarts should in the
| first place be required to become, not
only theoretical, bnt practical reformers.
The repayment of money taken from
government officers might possibly i'm
press Mr.. Cameron's mind with the idea
that the world has gone crazy, that the
republic is lettering upon its founda
tions. and that it is useless for practical
statesmen of his stamp to sacrifice them
selves any longer for it. We hope, there
fore. the Independents will keep the as
sessment business we'll in view"

The striking Panhandle miners are
beginning to feel the effects OF their long
idleness. A Pittsburg dispatch states
that few weeks ago President James,
of the Miners Union, issued an appeal
for aid for the striking miners. At the
time it was known that the strikers were
in straitened circumstances, but since
the appeal was issued it has been found
that actual restitution exists in the camp
at McDonald's Station. Last Saturday a
gentleman who visited the camp stated
mat a case had come under his notice
where the mother of family of seven
children had kept them for two weeks
ON half a sack of -four The little ones
are emaciated and presented a pitiable
.DDaaranee. Other cases of a similar
nature are reported. Appeals for assist
orce have been made 10 the poor authori-
ties of Pittsburg, but in every instance
thew have been refused, the officers hold
mo that the idleness which brought
.ahout the destitution is not compulsory.
Notwithstanding this, it is stated that
5otb miners and operators present a bold
3ror. and the outcome is as uncertain as
a,Ter.

LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE.
Condition of the IL DADA Dividend
TO be Declared
NelS York World.


At the meeting of the directors OF the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, held
Thursday morning, both OF the new men,
bers of the board, Messrs. Green and Car
lev were present. Mr.. Green is q son Of
DR.. NOrvin Green, President OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company, and is himself
President OF the Louisville Board of Trade
Mr. Carley is one of the richest and most eli
terprising men In the Southwest. The only
important official action taken at the meet
ing was the election of Mr.. Milton H.
Smith to be First Vice President and
General Manager in the stead of General
Alexander. Mr.. Smith was elected upon
the recommendation OF Mr.. Albert Fink,
who since the attacks made upon the prop
erty on account Of his inability to accept
the Presidency is taking a great interest in
the company's affairs, giving the company
the benefit of his advice and experience.
After the formal meeting OF the board the
report OF the President, Mr.. Baldwin, a cor
densation of which will be found below,
was informally considered, and 1t was
agreed that the usual semi-annual per
cent. dividend should be declared at the
meeting called for the purpose next week.
Below will be found statement Of earn
ings for each month Of the fiscal year, to-
gether with those OF last year, for purposes
of comparison, also a statement of mileage
operated. The statement for May of this
year is approximately correct, as nearly all
the accounts have been audited. The carr
ings for June are estimated from state
ments already in hand. AS the mileage in
the first half OF the year was not the same
for each month, for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning the earnings per mile for the year It
is necessary to find the general average,
which is 1871 miles, The earnings per
mile, therefore, in the fiscal year ended
per mile in the previous year, an increase of
$l99 per mile. Ia the year 1SS0-1S8I the
company operated 1,S40 miles; in the first
four mouths of the fiscal year 1SSl-1SS2
they operated l 1886 miles, In November and
December 2 074 miles, and the balance OF
the year 2,02S miles. The statement OF
earnings presented at the meeting is as fol-
lows;

1t will be seen by the proceedings of
the Democratic mass meeting held in
Efingham county on the Sth instant,
elsewhere published, that General A. X.
Lawton, of this city, was Endorsed for
Congressman-a This Is the
second county which has spoken for
that gentleman, and the convention
should not ignore the claim of the sea-
board when this nomination comes up
before it. Chatham county can
present for the honor such names as Law
ton, Lester, Jackson, Mercer and others,
all gentlemen who would reflect signal
credit upon the State if chosen to that
position. This section of Georgia has
no representation in any State Office at
present, and the selection of Congress
man-at-large from the seaboard would
be a just and fitting compliment and
one which pur people would appreciate.

MALARIA.

Malaria is an almost indescrib-
able malady which not even the
most talented physicians are
able to fathom. It's cause is
most frequently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is very
little question but what this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not neces.
sarily mean chills and fever,
while these troubles usually
accompany it. The standard
remedy appears to be quinine,
and yet all who have taken this
drug know its disagreeable
effects, and also are aware that
it seldom, if ever, effects per-
manent cure. In fact, the sys-
TEN becomes finally so Injured
to it that even the largest doses
fail to give relief. What is
wanted is a good health.giving
tonic, which will strengthen and
build up the system and perma-
nently restore health.

The President Of the road, Mr.. G. c.
Baldwin, said yesterday that the prosperous
condition of the road was due to the I'M
precedentedlY good crops along its line, and
also to the further development of the large
coal and iron mines In the neighborhood of
Birmingham, Ala, particularly the coal
mines, the product of which is now being
shipped both North and South over the
lines. Messrs. Carley and John E. Green,
of Louisville, two recently elected directors
of the road, said yesterday that they had
Just seen gentlemen from Nashville
aud points further South on
the line. These gentlemen re-
ported, and their own information was
that the crops in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Alabama had never been SO good as they are
this year. The products OF the country
which the road traverses, starting with to-
bacco at Louisville, and including the corn,
wheat, ats, etc, down the line, are all
out OF any risk of failure. The cotton crop
promises to be no whit behind the others.
The farmers of Southern Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Alabama are doing what is very
rare for them to do; that is, seeking agents
through whom to dispose OF their surplus
corn and wheat. The road is also carrying
large quantities Of naval stores to the
Southern seaboard.
Messrs. Carley and Green also said that
thea appointment of Mr.. Milton H. Smith
had given great satisfaction to persons liv-
ing on the line Of the road; not only to the
officials but to the shippers, and kilograms
had Yesterday been received congratulating
the road on the advancement Of Mr.. Smith
to the First Vice Presidency, thus making
him the acting President at Louisville and
giving him practical control OF all matters
except the financial affairs of the corpora
ton.
Mr.. Albert Fink said of the appointment:
II do not know of better man for the po
sition. Mr.. Smith was general freight agent
of the road when l had charge OF 1t. He
grew up with the road and knows 1t thor
oughly He is capable, earnest and consci-
entious, and l believe he will materially
benefit the road"
"What have you to say as to the reports
that you refused the Presidency because
you were afraid OF the financial condition Of
the company" asked the reporter.
81 thought they had stopped saying those
things" said Mr.. Fink. "There is no truth
IN that statement, for l did not even ex-
anime into the condition OF affairs. re-
fuse the Presidency simply because found
could not leave here. AS far as l know,
the road is not only solvent, but In -four
ishiDg condition, and will come out all
right. There is, In my opinion, nothing
whatever rotten about its condition. had
believed otherwise, | should never have
considered the proposition made me Tor an
instant. Those stories are started by men
who merely want to run down the road for
speculative purposes"
