THE TURKEY SHOOT,
The Hepburn Rifle Club Spend Their
Thanksgiving in an Appropriate
Manner.

The turkey shoot at the Hepburn rifle range
in Bruce's grove yesterday attracted a large
number of contestants. Unlike an old-fashon
turkey shoot it was shooting "for" turkeys and
not shooting sat" them. Tickets were sold at
twenty-five cents. each emitting the holder to
three shots at a target 200 yards away, with a
BULBS eye eight inches in diameter. To achieve
a turkey it was necessary that the shooter make
thirteen out of possible fifteen, the bulls eye
counting five, thus making it necessary to get
at least one bulls eye in the three shots, the gun
being fired without rest. When q raeman
had acquired five turkeys at twenty-five cents a
piece the rates were thereafter doubled on him
so that each succeeding turkey ticket beyond
that number cost fifty cents. The day was fine
for the sport and as nearly 1000 tickets were
sold, about 5000 shots were fired, making the
gross receipts of the club over $3.50, besides the
fun. An eight inch bulls eye at 200 yards is
equal to a quRrter-ineh center at fifteen yards.
No liquors are allowed upon the grounds of the
club and no liquors are sold within half mile
or more of the place. There are four double
targets which work window sashes, one be-
ing up while the other is in the pit. The pit in
which the markers are is eight feet deep and
every shot is tailed as made before another shot
is fired at that target. There is connection
with each target by means of electric bells, and
everything is conducted so that there is no pos
sibility of an accident. One hundred and twen-
ty-nine turkeys were won, follows, some
estimable citizens burning much powder and ac-
cumulating no birds;

ONE WHO WAS THERE.
The Attack on Lookout Mountain--When 1t
Was and Where 1t Was.

Said Gen. Fred Knefier to Journal reporter
yesterday: ''The chronological compounder of
the Journal succeeded in crowding three mis-
takes in two lines this morning. He says: Just
twenty years ago this morning the battle of
Lookout mountain was fought Was it2 First
1t was ON Tuesday, Nov. "a, 1863 Second
What fighting was done was in the afternoon of
that day. Third-There was no battle of Look
out mountain. General Hooker's attack was
simply an episode of the battle of Chattanooga.
Some of us were there and know something
about it. The chronological story of the battle
as remembered by those who fought it, is Mon
day, Nov "a, 1868, in the afternoon. The first
advance was made in front of Fort Wood by
two divisions of the Fourth corps, and the lines
advanced hey ond Orchard Knoll. On Tuesday
all day long there was diminishing along the
centr ell, General Sherman crossed the Tennes-
see and took position on the left. General
Hooker attacked and captured Lookout noun
tain during the afternoon and night Next
morning the army in the valley saw the stars
and stripes footing, where the rebels had a
battery firing upon Chattanooga almost every
day for the proceeding six weeks. Wednesday,
Nov. %, General Sherman made several attacks
on the left. General Hooker the right
marched down from Lookout mountain, across
Chattanooga valley toward Rossville, and while
these movements were progressing, during the
aftern Don, the Army of the Cumberland in the
center attacked and stormed Mission Ridge,
which just about finished the rebels"

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
The Efficacy of These Bodies for Good Still
Questioned.

The Efficacy of These Bodies for Good Still
Questioned.
The State Commissioners of New York, as
we'll as of Illinois and Kansas are dlsappoint-
ing 80 the parties who pushed the legislation
through which created snoh body. It's special
mission was to prevent discrimination in rates
between LEGAL points. This they found to be a
big job, as has the railroad committee of the
Board of Trade Of Indianapolis. Here, as there
1t is easy enough To unearth such discrimina-
tions, but how so remedy them seems to be the
trouble. The New York commission was created
with ample powers to inforce strict supervis
ion over the New York railways. 1t can investi
gate them whenever 1t chooses, inquire into ac-
cldents resulting in death or Injury, compel the
production of books papers, order additions
TO rolling-stock. regulate the rates for passen-
gers and freight, and require such changes in
the operation or management of the roads as 1t
may deem necessary for the security and accom-
mediation of the public. Yet, with these extra
ordinary powers, the New York com mission has
so far done nothing beyond ordering railways to
furnish quarterly reports of their condition. In
Massachusetts and Ohio matters move along
smoothly with the respective Commissions, and
though they are doing much to benefit the bust
ness public they are un able to handle this discrim
inatiOn question with signal success. In Georgia
the railway commission has proved vigorous
and bold, and has fought the battle of the people
with success. In California, on the other hand,
the sittlngs Of the commission to investigate the
encroachments and abuses of the Central Pacific
railway are openly scotted at as faroically con-
Quoted in the interest OF that gigantic corpora
ton. In Illinois the commission has been in
operation a number OF years, but it's act
ual accomplishments can be stated by a zero.
The want of success of these commissions has
produced vavering in the minds of business
men as to tbsstr usefulness. The business men
have yet to learn thai railway commissions de-
pend nneh upon the character of the men who
put on them. The arrangements of most
roads are willing to do what is right as regards
rates, discriminative charges ETC., il approached
with the proper spirit, bus the men usually put
upon commissions are untitled for the posi-
tIOns, and go about the work as though ap-
pointed to fight railroad interests. This natu-
rally creates antagonism on the part of the rail-
road men, ia the case of1Ilinois, and from the
beginning to the end of the year it is a struggle
between the commission and railroad men to get
the advantage; consequently there are no good
results.

TRANsooNr1NENrAL BUSINESS.

Lower Rates on Pacific Roads Mean Bank
ruptcy.
Statements have recently been published
showing that the total quantity of through east
bound freight sent from California, for the nine
months ending Sep. 80, 1885, did not quite
reach 105,420 tons, the Central Pacific car
rytng 117,351, 800 pounds, and the South
ern Pacific 93,498,10o pounds. 1t would
not be much of a task for busy Eastern rail-
way to carry this quantity over its lines
in few days. The Philadelphia & Reading
reported as its coal tonnage for recent
week 2S3, 1877 gross tons and the Pennsylvania
tonnage of coal and coke for similar period was
277,326. An article on transcontinental rail
ways in the current number of Harper's Maya
ziue, in referring to the delusions which prevail
IN regard to the magnitude of their through
business says: at is popular idea to-day that
the vast business OF the Uulon Pacific consists
of long trains of freight cars laden with tea,
silk, or other valuable merchandise. rolling
ceaselessly and in quick succession over its en-
tire length. But the annual reports do not con-
firm this idea In 1879, ten years after its COM
peton, the Union Pacific carried over its whole
line as through freight, both east and west, but
180,2l4 tens-just enough to make one daily
freight train of average size each way
while one express and one enigrant
train daily aceommodat d the through
passenger travel" The Boston Journal
says: "The relatively small proportions
Of the through transcontinental rail traffic
attained 81 ali the lines that attempts to
compete for it is probably one reason why
divisions and diversions have been
so strenuously resisted. Few expectations
have ever been so fallaclous as those relating to
the magnitude of through-rail movements be-
tween the Pacific coast and the Mississippi val
ley or the Pacific and Atlantic coast. The Jour
nal then argues: Through and local business
is yet small TO make it possible for the trans

False Rumors Create Distrust.

The prices at which stocks are quoted is a
poor criterion to base the value of railroad prop
critics upon. An apt illustration is given in
the ups and downs of the Decline stock, a few
shares of which, comparatively speaking. are
being tossed about on the market. A noticeable
feature of the stock market for a couple of
weeks past is that the decline has bean alost ex.
clusvely in the best dvidend-p ayi ing stocks,
and that 1t has occurred in the face of increased
earnings for November over the same time last
year for almost every one of the roads, and also
in the face OF a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS supply of
idle money seeking some interest-paying invest
nent. The leading cause of this anomalous con-
dition of things is the industrious circulation
OF ruinors, many OF which are pure inventions,
and all OF which are intended to create distrust.
