Railroad Racket.

St. Paul, Mimi, 19.-The slashing cut
in freight and passenger rates by the
Omaha roads was the sensation Of the
day here. Both competing met the
sales Of the Omaha with slightly
lower rates. The Albert Lea roule an
nounced rate of zoe. 10 Chicago and q
reduction on -four shipments from Min
nesots to half the figures formerly pre-
vailing. The most comprehensive and
affecting cut was made, however, by the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Rail-
road. General Manager Merrill arrived
in st. Paul to-day and at once decided
upon heavy cut in passenger and freight
rates from st. Paul and Minneapolis to
Chicago and Milwaukee and to and from
sill points reached by the compsny's lines
in Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska,
and to points in Missouri, Colo
rado and to San Francisco. The
cut in freight enables shippers
to send wheat from all points in central
Minnesota to Minneapolis, to be manu-
featured and reshippad as -four to Chi
csgo or Milwaukee for 121c. per 100
pounds; mill stuffs to Chicago TIC, -four
zoe. per barrel. Passenger rates to and
from most interior points in Minnesota,
and to and from Sioux City are reduced
to Csc. each way; from many interior
points In Minnesota to Chicago 81. to

There were lamemtable casualties on the

fact that the Egyptians kept up struggling
fire from their mud huts. This brought the
English fire upon non-combatants.

The Engine of the Eulurr.

In his address ut the recent opening of
the British Association DR.. Carl Siemans it's
president, pointed out the probable vast fu-
ture of the gas engine. Instead of steam
this engine is worked by combustiblc mix-
ture OF air and hydro carbon In the con
densing steam engine the waste Of heat is
very great. Adding to the heat lost by i'm
perfect combustion of coal, that carried
away in the chimney and that communicated
to the condensing water, the losses by frc-
ton and radiation in the engine, the best
steam engine yet constructed does not yield
in mechanical effect more than onc-seventh
ofthe heat energy residing in the fuel con-
sumed. In the gas engine reduction from
the theoretical efficiency must be made on
account of the serious loss ofheat by absorb
ton in the working cylinder, which has to
be cooled artificially down to point at which
fabrication is possible. But after allowing
for this, together with FRACTIONAL and other
loss, the actual efficiency is reduced only
to one-fourth. at follows from these con
siderations,' he says, "that the gas or
caloric engine combines the conditions most
favorable to the attainment of maximum
results, and it may reasonably be supposed
that the difficulties still in the way of their
application on large scale will gradually
be removed In his view, before many
years steamships and factories will be
run by engines with fuel consumption not
exceeding one pound per effective horse
power per hour The advent of such engines
will solve the problem of rapid transit on
the ocean, and mark. as Dr. Siemens savs.a
new era of material progress at least equal
to that inaugurated by steam in the early
part of our century. In the case of ocean
transit it seems, however, most probable
that the next great advance will be in the
construction of ships which can both avail
themselves fully Of an artificial power more
economical than steam and also utilize the
maximum motive power ofthc winds.--N.

AWAITING THE GUILLoTINE.--ASs soon as
the sentence of death is passed the criminal
is placed on double allowance. The ordina-
~ prisoners have rations of meat and Of
wine only on Sundays and Thursdays: but
the convict set apart for the guillotine has
roast beef every day, and ''cinquiemc'; of
wine both at breakfast and dinner. He may
read, write and smoke as much as he likes.
He has two warders constantly in attend
ance upon him, and their orders are never
to contradict him and not TO abstain from
entering into cheerful conversation with him.
The assassin Troppmann used to play cards
with his jailers. Finally the condemned
man has an hours exercise every day in the

tence is passed the prisoner is made to don
the 'camisole de force''-the straight Jacket.

sleeves tied together to prevent the pTotru-
sion of the hands. Cords passing round the
thighs and fastening at the shoulders attach
closely to his body the arms of the prisoner
At meal times one sleeve of the camisole is
loosened to allow the prisoner TO eat with
wooden spoon the food which has been cut
up for him. Again his hand is set free when
he wishes to write The murderer never
knows when his day Of doom is to come.
