Railroad Progress.
TN@s TN.I1

In 1880 there were said to be TWEEN
ty-three miles of railway in the
United States; at the close of the
year 1881 there were 104, 813 miles of
road. The largest increase in any
one year was in 1881, when it reached
LAP miles; the year before it was
TIA. Last year we built as many
miles ofroad as were in operation
in the whole country in 1852,
and one-tbird of what were COM
pleted up to 1866. This year the in
crease will probably equal that of
1881.
The estimated value of the whole
system, as represented by its capital
and floating debt, is 5000, 1885, $40.
The gross earnings for two years
would about pay the bonded debt of
the United States, as last year they
amounted to $725,325,119. Of this
amount $44S,671, 900 were paid in
operating expenses, leaving $276, 654,-
119. If the government should con-
fiscate all the railroads, pay nothing
for interest or dividends. and fix
the charges simply to earn enough
to operate the roads and keep them
in order, there would be reduction
in rates of thirty-three and third
per cent.
Ofthe earnings last year, 1851, $685.
AT came from the freight depart
ment, and $173, 1856, 642 from the pas
senger, 76 per cent for freight, and
twenty-four for passenger traffic.
The rates charged for freight in this
country are low on an average, but
the passenger rates are, on the
whole, high, especially when com.
pared to freight charges. When the
usual rate for passengers is one cent
per mile, the passenger earnings will
show a large increase. 1t is not
rash to predict that this will be the
rate before 1900.
Such figures stagger ones imagi-
nation. The marvellous development
of our internal commerce thus ex-
hibited surpasses anything ever
dreamed of by the early projectors
of the railroads. The value of the
tonnage in 1850, at $50 per ton, was
$3.50, 900, 900, or only $40 per head of
the population. In these twenty
two years the population has more
than doubled. but the tonnage NOV
ed now exceeds $500 per head, and |
amounts in the aggregate to 81, 000,- |
0OO,OO0.

CARRIER PIGEONS.
A scheme TO secure Fast Flyers.


Several gentlemen of German
town, Pennsylvania, and vicinity,
among them the well-known crick-
eters, Messrs. Newhall, Hargrave and
Mills, are interested in breeding and
flying homing pigeons. About two
weeks ago these gentlemen sent out
one hundred birds under the care OF
an experienced sportsman for the
purpose of testing their qualities.
The modus operandi was to travel
about a hundred miles and release
the entire flock. Those reaching
home were first given a few days,
then bound up and sent to the next
place reached by the sportsman,
about two hundred miles distance.
Then they were again released and
flew home. Again they were
sent Off This plan was carried on
until Chicago was reached, when
the number of pigeons had become
reduced from 100 to three, which
were sent off last week. These birds
have travelled altogether in the last
sixty days over 5000 miles, and those
reaching home on this occasion will
have flown the longest distance ever
made in this country, the farthest
ever before accomplished being be-
tween indianapolis and New York
City.
The successful birds of this trip
will probably be retired, and their
owners will devote them 10 breed
ing for the rest of their lives, thus
in a practical manner choosing the
best quality of birds for perpetu-
ating the breed.

GALVESTON, August 4.-The Grand
Lodge OF Knights OF Honor resssembled
and acted upon the reports of the COM
mittees, installed the new officers and adj
journed sine die.
The meeting of the board of health to
night was largely attended by the leading
business men of the city. DR.. W. w. D.

read a report signed by himself, DR..
Swearingen, state health officer. and DR..
Trueheart, quarantine PHYSICIAN to
the effect that that they had visited the
schooner Henrietta, which arrived from
Brazos Santiago yesterday with suspicious
cases of sickness aboard; that they had
made an exhaustive examination of the
sick; that they found one invalid suffering
from lung disease and one mae five days
down with fever and another only a
few hours. They found no pathognomis
or typical symptoms OF yellow fever; that
the sick would be removed to the old
quarantine building on Pelican island,
where physician and all necessary COM
forts would be supplied; that patients
would be absolutely isolated, and that
every precaution should be taken for the
protection Of the city from any danger.
DR.. Kelly stated that DIR. Swearingen had
assumed authority of ordering the remov-
al Of patients to Pelican island, and that
Governor Roberts had Endorsed any ac-
ton in advance which DR.. Swearingen
might see TT to take. A resolution was
offered that communication with quaran-

patrol be established east of First street,
and to prohibit any intercourse in that
direction. Much opposition was mani
tested to the action Of DR.. Swearingen,

A Husband Deceived with a Fic.
titious Infant.

A remarkable case has just been
revealed in connection with the af-
fairs of the Philadelphia almshouse.
Some time in February last, one of
the inmates gave birth to a child,
and it is alleged that when two
weeks old, two well-dressed re-
spectacle young ladies visited the
almshouse with an order, signed by
Guardian DAILY, requesting the ma
iron of the obstetrical ward to give
the infant, Mary Gallagher, to them.
This was done, and shortly after
ward the mother was induced to
relinquish all claim to her babe.
The child was to be used in a fic-
titious childbirth to deceive a
husband, and it is alleged that Guar
dian DAILY was aware of this when
he signed the order. The plot to
deceive the husband and lead him
to believe that the infant was his
child, that he light have an heir to
bequeath his accumulation of earthly
goods, was entirely successful until
discovered by outsiders. The hus-
band is Henry w. Lohmeyer, a Ger
man grocer of Philadelphia. The
man had not the slightest suspicion
that the child his wife was rearing
was not his, and when informed of
the fact by newspaper representa-
tive he was 10th to belieyeit. His wife,
however, on hearing the circum-
stances of the affair, confessed all,
saying that she acted deceittully to
please her husband, who had longed
for a child. An affecting scene then
ensued between the husband and
wife. After this had subsidized the
pair held lengthy consultation, and
stated that they were going to the
almshouse. The wife has become
very much attached to the infant,
and her greatest trouble appeared to
be the thought of losing it. The
Philadelphia Press mentions another
case somewhat similar, though not
as well authenticated.
