Railroads Constructed In 1881.

The Chicago Railway Age published a
table, showing that the number Of miles Of
main track laid dnring the year 1881 was
to,S11, on 316 lines, in ~ States and Terri
tories. Full returns will probably make
the grand total 1000 miles, which is u
600 miles more than was constructed IL 1851,
the banner railroad building year up to that
time. The number Of miles constructed in
the States mentioned below are as follows:
Iowa os3, Texas 817, New York 757,
Ohio SIS, Arkansas sag, Indiana s2o, Col.
orado 500, Dakota Territory $50, Pennsyl.
vania 464, and Minnesota 444. OF the 3,d
noted, lao are still incomplete. The capi.
tai invested during the year is estimated al
$27o,oooooo exclusive of the amounts ex-
pended in the preparation Of the road. beds
on which tracks are not vet laid. During
the first eleven months Of this year the
Wabash Railroad system has earned ST..
$4,000 more than ior the same time in 81
The estimated earnings for the year are
$17,ooo,ooo, and net earnings $7,ooo,ooo.

The Nickel Il Handy Coin.

1t may not be generally known that we
have in the nickel seen, piece in our coin
aye a kew to the tables Of linear measures
and weights. The diameter OF this coin is
two centimeters and its weight is five
.rammes. Five OF them placed in a row,
will, OF course, give the length of the deci-
meter, and Two the weight OF dec"grammc.
As the kiloli:er is a cubic meter, il is the
KEY to the measure Of capacity. Any per

own a s-cent nickel may carry in his pock-
ct the entire metric system OF weights.

indeed dangerous for any robber to have
entered over such a guard
There is one dog which deserves to be
known in history. and that is Mr. Steph-
ems old poodle, Rio lie was for years
Mr. Stephens constant companion. He
loved him as an intimate friend, and
when he died he shed tears over
his grave. Rio was a remarkable dog
He could reason more than any animal l
remember at Liberty hall we would be
talking about something going wrong on
the place, and Rio would rise and go to
thesspot spoken of by us. He seemed to
understand language, and his face was
very much like that of human. He was
big, fat poodle, with wool as white as
snow, as heavy as that of sheep and as
soft as silk. He had high forehead and
bright, black eyes. He grew blind sever
al years before he died. and Mr.. Stephens
took as much care of him as he would
have done had he been his own flesh and
blood. When he died he put him in
wooden coffin and buried him in hIs gar
den. He had intended to have erected
marble slab over his grave, but this was
put off and finally neglected. He never
cast off any of his dogs in their old age,
and Troup, Pluck, Frank and half a
dozen others of his pets were cared for
during their declining years of senility
and dccrepitude.

lin had engaged the service of the Pink
ertons, and one of their operators locateo
Mr.. Lester at Salina Kas., last Saturday
and arrested him. The prisoner wa:
brought back to Chicago. and late yester-
Il day afternoon a warrant for his arrest
was sworn out by meNber OF the firm
before Justice Brayton. The warrant
was given to Constable Miller. who for
with took the prisoner in custody and
transferred him to the county jail, Lester
being unable to furnish the heavy bail
asked for. The case is set for examina-
ton at 3 O'Clock this afternoon.
TESTERS STORY.
Last night a Tribune reporter visited the
Jail and Mr. Testers cell The prisoner
was lying down in an upper bunk, but
climbed down when he learned what was
wanted of him II would like he SAID,
s.to hear Mr. McLaughlin's story before L
tell my own"
MIR. Mclaughlin says you have made
away with something like $booo OF ms
money" -
We'll I'll tell you just how il all
came about although it is terrible TO
think how my wife will feel when she
reads the paper in the morning. She
does not even know yet that am in the
CITY, nv brother-in. law being the only
relative have seen so far. To tell the
truth, / lost the money in game of polk
er at Topeka. and l am sorry for it,
did Won lose it all at one sittingY"
mo, but lost it all in a very few days.
| can tell you just when the game com
menced'
Mr.. Lester here pulled out fine NOR
Deco memorandum book. and ran through
the leaves.
The game commenced Friday night.
March g. lost 800. We played the
next afternoon and the next, and so on
until had lost not only the $500 which |
had at the start. but all | could collect.
| kept on playing because | wanted to
get even. and probably l would have
pulled out all right if there had not been
robbers in the game"
WAS the game played in holel?"
NO; we played in private room. and
there were some of the best men of To
peka in the game, including United
States district attorney, wealthy merch-
ant and some army officers. | think they
all played square, but there were others
who robbed me. p"
ATTEMPTS TO COMPROMISE.
What did your wife succeed in doing
for you in the matter of a COMPROMISED
Il understand that the firm demands
the money back, declaring that | did not
lose it at poker. but have it concealed
somewhere. Now, can prove by some
of the best men in Topeka that l did lose
it in the game. Saturday | thought mat
tiers had been satisfactorily arranged with
the firm, because | received dispatch
telling me to return at once and make II
clean breast of it, but | was arrested at
almost the same hour that | received the
dispatch"
do you think you will be able to raise
the money!"
Hardly. If I could get the pension
money due me from the government, |
could pay the amount many times over.
1 served in an Illinois regiment all during
the war, and received bullet in the left
arm which crippled me for life. | have
never received a cent of pension money,
however
"Wcre you ever arrested before?
Never; and have held some very re
sponsible positions here in Chicago"
