Sunday afternoon Miss Hattie Cookson, a
young lady l6 years of age, attempted to
commit suicide at North Vassalboro by
drowning She ran to the bank Of a
stream, the outlet of China Lake, and
Jumped in where the water was quite deep
Fortunately passerby saw the girl in season
to rush to the brink of the stream and drag
her from the water, before she had accom-
plished her purpose. The cause of the rash
attempt was undoubtedly insanity, rs last
summer the young lady fell from swing. re-
ceTing injuries which affected her head.

Sharks seem to be unusually plenty this
fall, and according to all reports are little
troublesome. writes an Ogunquit correspond
ent of the Biddeford Journal. As one of the
fishermen was pulling up cod Ash. Wednes-
day morning, an enormous shark grabbed
hold of it, when it was half way up, and quite
a tussle ensued between the man and shark,
to see who should have the fish. When the
cod was pulled up alongside of the boat the
shark still had hold of it and held on and
threshed around considerably before he let
go. II was thought that the shark was fully
twelve feet long.

The Railroad Problem.

George lies has contributed to the July num-
Der of the Popular Science Monthly an interest
ing article entitled "The Railroad Problem in
the United States" expressing in this essay
moderate views, ana finding much to praise
and much to blame in his comments upon the ex-
listing methods of corporate management, frank
ly admitting the unquestionable fact that rail
way rates are lower in this country than In any
other. Mr. lies declares that "railroads have
opened up homes for millions sent across the sea
from over-cro wded Europe. have cheapened
food, clothing and shelter, have practically
broken down State and sectional lines, and, by
nferfusion of capital and population have done
more to weld the Union together than any OF her
influence" Mr. lies regards the establishment
OF intelligent State railway commissions as de-
cdedly preferable TO federal regulation, and
says that "the debate for and against leaving
the railroad problem to settle itself has not
shown that the people who wish to invoke con-
troll by the federal government have numbers
or very sound argument on their side"

THE NEW RAILROADS.
Will Three Parallel Lines to the Coal Fields
Paw

VIII Three Parallel Lines to the Coal Fields
Pay?
There are now two companies organized to
build roads southwest from Indianapolis,
namely, the Indianapolis, Eel River & South
western and the Indianapolis & Sullivan. Offi-
GERS of both companies claim to have made ar
rangements to sell their bonds as rapidly as the
money is needed to construct the roads. Both
would strike the best coal mines in the State;
only ten miles distant from the indianapolis &
Vincennes road, and the indianapolis & Sullivan
will average ten miles distance from the Eel
River road. Now, it is plain that country
twenty miles in width will not support three
roads, All will be weaklings, and Improbable
investments. One of these roads should be
built aud the one going the most direct route to
the coal fields; ana were one built neither the
Indianapolis Vineennes, the Wanda
liza, nor the indianapolis & st. Louis
would be seriously affected In
their business. II both are built the chances
eight to ten that neither will pay more than
operating expenses, if they do that; and the
older roads named will suffer in their business
more or less. Indianapolis now has one ex Gel
lent coal road, the Terre Haute u Indianapolis,
and coal dealers admit that they hauling
coal from Clay county as cheap as they can af-
ford to. Another coal road striking mines a
little south of Clay county could be made a
good property with what other business
would come TO them; but to divide 1t up with a
second road there is great danger that both en-
terprises would prove fiat failures. To be sure
the new roads could be built and equipped for
less money than the bonded debt of the road
they paralieled-the Indianapolis & ViDcennes-
yet the latter is owned by company which is
able to protect the property and would have
some advantages over the new roads. A rail-
road man of large experience, and who is largely
interested in the prosperity of Indianapolis.
yesterday remarked that one road to the south
western coal mines and through the fine agricul-
tural region it would naturally pass could be
well supported, and wonld be a valuable aeGui-
stion TO Indianapolis. But two roads paralleling
as they would Two old roads could not be snc-
eessfully operated He greatly feared that in the
effort to build two roads both projects would be

A Valuable Property-The Stock Really
Worth Par.
The weakness of the stock of the Cincinnati,
Indianapolis, st. Louis .6 Chicago road is mat
ter of some comment, as the surface there
appears to be no good reason that it should be
below par, In the fiscal year ending June 80,
the gross earnings were little IS, 600, 900,
and the road was operated on sixty per cent. of
the gross earnings. The bonded debt of the
road is $7,000,000, the interest which is
1920, 700 per year, as their bonds are placed at
six per cent. The stock is $7,000,000. After
paying operating expenses and interest on bonds
as above stated, there is $4,000 left in round
numbers to pay out in dividends, and it will be
seen that after paying seven
per cent. dividend there would be
surplus of some $4,000 in the company's
treasury, and il should be borne In mind that the
road in the year, ending June 80, was
Floods damaged the road seriously three times,
and large sum OF money was expended in re-
pairs of the breaks and loss OF bridges. Then
the road had lighter crops than usual, to cut
down their tonnage, and on certain per cent. of
the property carried the revenue therefrom
hardly paid for handling ii, so demoralized
were rates. Notwithstanding all this, President
regards the future of the road, all Will admit
that it is full of promise. Every department is
economically and well managed. The roadbed
of the main liue and branches is in excellent
condition and it is of the best equipped roads
in the State, and with bonded deOt of only
$25, 900 per mile on the main track, the Big Four
can be counted as regular dividend-paying

A Device Which OvercOmes All Trouble
from Misplaced Switches.
The roadmaster of the New London & North
ern railway has just patented switch which
does away with the V shaped frog, lessening the
chances for an accident where the main tracks
and side tracks meet and forever abating the
danger Of misplaced switcn. BY his invention
the main line OF track is made continuous, and
the switching is done by moving the side rails up
to the main line, which they overlap with lip,
and as they slightly higher, easily take o
train off The ends Of the side track are set upon
a hinge or pivot, and are held in place by strong
spring, which will yield only To the fange of the
wheels of train passing on the main line.
Hence. if the switch is left on, the rapidly pass
ing train in the opposite direction docs shoot
off he track, but Keeps the line, the side track
yielding automatically as the train passes. One
of the switches has been manufactured and
thoroughly tried at Palmer, Mass, and works to
q charm.

A special meeting of the State Board of Health
viii be held in this city on July 81 for the pur-
pose of considering precautionary measures
against cholera. Strict sanitary rules will be
enforced in the towns and cities of the State,
many of which are now III very insalubrous
condition on account of their extremely filthy
streets. Diseases kindred to cholera have been
reported from different sections of the State, and
tits thought highly important that there should
at once be precautions against the epidemic.
The Board of Health, in order 20 carry out the
sanitary reforms needed, will ask the board of
police commissioners TO detail four or five men
to assist the present sanitary force. 1t is hoped
the request will be complied with without de-
Law.
