SCANDAL IN KANSAS CITY.
Prominent Persons Involved in the Estrange.
ment Of Wite's Affections,

KANSAS CRY, February IA genuine
sensation was created In the first circles OF
this city by the fling OF charges In summit
Street Methodist Episcopal Church by W.
g. Ennis against w. ). Hastings, Super
intendeGt Of the Sunday-school. Ennis
charge, Hastings with improper conduct
with the wife of Ennis. Back OF all this Is
4 scandal. Hastings Is eminent and
prominent In both business and church
circles. Some years ago he became sc-
quainted with Mrs. Ennis and claims to
have been on friendly terms with the whole
family since. His Intimacy with Mrs. En-
mis- continued until about year ago, when
DR.. j. n, LoIiug, who II the favorite
physician on Quality Hill, appeared on the
scene and al once took the eye Of Mrs En-
mis-. LorIng took up his residence with
the Ennis family, and became very intimate
with both Mrs. Ennis aud her husband,
who Is something OF an invalid. The Sun
day school superintendent dudiDg himself
left, began series OF frantic attempts 10
win back the affection. Of the lady. Ho
wrote her etiers signed
"Detectiye, ETC., threatening to
expose her conduct with Luring, and de-
clarug that he couldn't possibly live with
out her. Finally Lorlng concluded that
this had gone far enough and he secured an
affidavit from Mrs. Ennis stating that she
had been improperly intimate with Has.
tings. This was held cvts the head Of the
Sunday school man and he subsidized for q
time but finally renewed his endeavors to
regain the objections OF Mrs. Ennis. Loring
seems 10 have gained complete control over
the entire Ennis family and induced Ennis
to prefer the charges before men
toned. Hastings, in an interview with
your correspondent. maintains that his re-
lations with Mrs. Ennis were purely ots
brotherly character, and that he loved Mrs,
Ennis as much as he did his wife, aud that
he only thought to keep her out Of danger
from Loring. Ennis, who cut. very
small figure all through. has implicit con-
fdcnce in his wife, and also in Loring.
Lorng neither aflirms nor denies anything,
but says he proposes to stick by the wo-
man. Mrs. Ennis, who is sprlghtly
brunette of about thirty and viyacious, will
not talk.

Railroad Geography.

The reason assigned for the change Of
the actual time of the meridian Of Wash
ington, ~ west from Greenwich, to that
Of 75s, which meridian passes between
Philadelphia and Trenton, is now shown
to be in consequence of the bulldozing
Of lot Of railroad fellows in convention
assembled at Chicago. These fellows
wanted to fix up the time Of astronomy,
and not like Joshua, to make the sun
stand still, but to make him jump west
ward two degrees, or eight minutes and
twelve seconds, and declare himself in
Washington before he had reached Phil
adelphin. To this chronic falsehood ths
name Of Washington should not be al
lied, for he wouldn't lie even about
cherry tree. Has ii come to this. that
our railroad men must upset all our cal
culations about the proper time Of day,
and create confusion with chronometers
and condemnation from almanac makers.
II the Government consents to make
this change, it had better postpone il
thousand years before beginning. It is
useless and ridiculous, and an insult to
science. II the railroad conductors want
to change their watches an hour for
every l5' Of longitude, they could have
started down in Maine at o2' and then
reached the 77th degree in harmony with
our present standard Of time. In the

The New Great Highway.

The Canadian Pacific Railway contin-
ually in course of rapid construction
under the auspices of the Canadian Gov
ernment, will be one Of the shortest
overland roads when completed, which
will be in about year. 1t viii also be
about the straightest line from the
northern east to the northern west,
Montreal, Canada, to Victoria, British
Columbia. The road is now constructed
on the through route, distance of 1882
miles; 3lS miles from Montreal to Mat
tawa; 1876 miles from Winnepeg to Rat
Portage, and $40 miles west from st.
Vincent to Swift Current, which is the
present terminus of the road in the west,
although nearly one hundred additional
miles of road are built but not yet oper-
ated. There are now operated in the sys-
TEN mentioned, 1882 miles, which. with
the new road and branches, gives it
already l444 miles of length, with gap
Of about 1900 miles, which would make
the entire through route, regardless of
branches, 1882 miles in length. although
the western terminus is seven degrees
Of longitude west of Los Angeles, and
the eastern terminus on the same longi-
tude as New York City. but the distance
from San Pedro via the Needles, is 3l69
miles. The Northern Pacific is 1902
miles in length from st. Paul to Seattle.
The difference between parallel routes
is caused by the difference in tho
lengths Of parallels of latitude on
which the different roads are con-
structed. When the Canadian road is
completed there will be seven different
routes OF railway travel across the con-
tinent. while in May, 1869, there was
but one.
The present routes embrace the No tb-
ern Pacific, Central and Union Pacific.
Denver L Rio Grande, Sunset Route.
Texas Pacific. Atlantic 4 Pacific via the
A. T. Us. F, road, sig in all. which
will be increased to seven upon the
completion Of the Canadian road.
