New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1883-08-11

Ever since the party leaders who soar above
faction (when it is their interest TO do so)
ordered the County Democracy to share this
city's representation in the State Convention
with Tammany Hall and Irving Hall, those
County Democrats who have some little idea
of consistency remaining in them have been
squirming in disgust. They realize what a
complete surrender to Mr. Kelly this compul-
sorry harmony means, and how utterly it
knocks out from under them all reason for
being. Still the leek must be eaten; and next
Monday night has been appointed as the time
when the bitter dish is to be prepared. This
is Illuminating state of affairs for the County
Democracy; but the disgust and nausea which
they suffer now are nothing TO what their
feelings will be after the election. They will
see then that they swallowed the bitter mess
in vain.

The case of the british murderer who was
hanged in Utica yesterday is noteworthy
illustration of the maudlin sympathy which
even the worst of felons seem able to excite
when condemned to die. Ostrander killed his
brother over two years and a half ago. 1t was
. peculiarly atrocious murder, without an ex-
tenuating circumstance. Mean jealousy WAS
the only motive. The man had fair trial and
was found guilty. Certain persons then in

unworthy neck. If reports can be believed.

piece OF baggage weighing over $50 pounds.
Anything In excess of that weight must either
be sent by express freight at the regular

increase of theatrical freight has made its ex-

on passenger trains shall be delivered to the
press agent on the trains, and nor to be in charge
OF the baggageman, as has been the case here
tOfore. This regulation will necessitate the pay

old method has been to deadhead 1t bv giving 1t
free transportation in the baggage-car. The

GENERAL NEWS.

Indebtedness of the Northern Pacific
100000, Central Pacific 100000 Per
Mile.
A study of the financial status of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company presents several
points of interest The capitalization of the
Northern Pacific railroad is about $500 per
mile in stock; debt by general mortgage, $780,
900 per mile, with reserve to take up the d.
visional mortgages on the divisions covered by
them; the total therefore is about 100000 per
mile, as against $4,000 on the Union Pacific
and 100000 on the Central Pacific. The
main line and branches owned by the company
amount to 1900 miles. The distance from Su-
perOr City on Lake Superior to Portland on
Puget sound is 1882 miles; from Portland to
San Francisco 7S5, from New York to Portland
3.276, being almost identically the same via San

THE BLACK HILLS TIN MINES. =
The Deadwood Pioneer s2ys: Z.
Stratton, of the Terra mill, called at
this office the other day with hanc-
some little bar of tin, run from three
ounces Of ore, taken from the new
Sand Creek district. Mr.. Stratton is
interested in six claims, located on
Niggar Hill, Mallory and Sand Creek
gulches, and being practical miner,
with many years experience, knows a
goon thing. when he sees it. The as
asys recently made by Barclay re-
turned sixty per cent.tin, Or from for
ty to forty five per cent greater than
ore from the celebrated Cornwall
mines. Not much work has been per-
formed, but great encouragement has
been encountered. AS Mr.. Stratton
says, it is question of quantity, not
quality. The quality is all right.
