4 Virginia exchange remarks of a law
proposed in the legislature of that State to
protect owners of stock from damage by
railroad trains: The railroad is made for
railroad trains, and for them alone; and the
man, or the horse, or the dog, or the COW
that walks upon the track tTespasses there,
and voluntarily takes all attendant risks
Just as a man looking around in factory
has nobody to blame but himself if he is
hurt by meddling with the machinery. The
truth is that the man who allows his ami
m ais TO wander upon the track of the rail
road, imminently eudaugering the lives OF
hundreds of people, should himself be held
responsible by the law. II is most desira-
bic and advisable thing to protect the cows
whenever they need protection, but between
killing a COW and wrecking train, always
with the lives Of an engineer, fireman and
brakeman at risk, and sometimes with great
numbers of passengers to be killed or
MANNED, we confess that our regard for the
rights OF the COW is quite overridden by our
consideration for the safety Of the travelling
public.

A Railway Reinstated 10 its Original
owners.

Under the decision of the United States
Supreme Court to-day, the management of
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois is trans
ferred to the Chicago, Danville and Vim
cennes railroad. The decision declares in
valid the foreclosure and sale under the
mortgage, and reinstates the old bondholders,
whose bonds have of late been practically
valueless. 1t also invalidates all the acts of
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois directory,
makes null and void the bonds, stock and
= curities, and as the road under the late
management has greatly increased value, the
old bondholders will now be able TO pay off
the mortgage by retiring money in the securi-
ties

The Nations Railway Transportation
Controlled by Three Men.

A Washington writer explains as follows
how the United States is arranged to be di
vided between Vanderbilt, Gould and Hun
tington: A member Of the Senate Committee
on Railroads says that committee is almost
buried by the accumulation of petitions
from all parts of the country asking for
legislation to regulate interstate commerce.
The committee has determined to take up
the subject in earnest, and for this purpose
has appointed a subcommittee OF three, who
are to begin work next Monday. A member
of the railroad committee said TO day that,
having given the subject much attention re-
Gently, he was convinced that the Gould and
Huntington combination intend To obtain
control of the whole network of important
railways south of st. Louis and the Ohio
and Potomac rivers, and practically leave
the northern field to Vanderbilt. 10 carry
irg out this design he was satisfied, and
other senators agreed with him, that hun
dreds of private stockholders and the gem
eral public welfare would be sacrificed. 1t
should be stated, however, that, notwith.
standing the general pressure for legislation,
it Is the prevailing opinion here that all at
Temps at radical legislative restriction upon
railroad operations will be abortive this SEES
sion "a in the past.

There is little boy in knee-breeches and
colored stockings at Hanover Courthouse
Station, on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road, who is probably the youngest tele ,raph
operator on that line, or any other line in
this country. He is only nine years old, his
name is Beverly Labney Benson, and he is
the son of Mr. James S. Benson, the agent
and operator at that station, formerly of
Charlottesville. Beverly is a skillful opera
tor and reads messages from the wire as
readily by the sound as his father can. Oar
reporter was sitting in the Office a few nights
ago, and had not noticed that the little fell
low had been left in charge for awhile by his
father. He was psrched on a high desk,
playing draughts with a companion while the
machine was ticking away, with its unmean-
ing clatter to the uninitiated, when all at
once the boy exclaimed, Hold on, they are
calling me-" jumped down from his perch,
ran to his seat and 10 jiffy had written out
the message, laid it eside for his father and
resumed his game.
