MISCELLANEOUS,

AGRAM, Sept. 13.-The violence of the
rebels against land owners between China
and Petrina is increasing. The military
force which was sent to the scene of the
disturbance were compelled to fire into a
dense mass of rioters, killing fifteen and
wounding many others.
VIENNA, Sept. 13.-The emperor and
King Alfonso laid the last stone of the new
town hall. At the ceremonies at a grand
banquet in honor of the event the emperor
proposed the health of the king to which
the latter responded in German. The en-
peror also proposed toast in honor of
the car of Russia. The emperor and
King Aifonzo have gone to witness the
annual military manouvers.
BIRMINGHAM, Sept. 13.-At the trades
unions congress Joseph Arch offered a
resolution that considering the large
amount OF waste land in the kingdom
which is capable of cultivation radical
changes in the land system of the country
are required in order that the land may
be put under productive cultivation for the
benefit of the community, thereby offer
ing check to excessive emigration. An
amendment was offered calling upon the
government to declare such land govern
ment property, and with this addition the
entire resolution was adopted.

amendments thereto which haa been mad g,
which was carried, and the association ad.
jouned to evening.
Evening Sess;cn.

The members of the association re as
sembled in the evening, and as Mr.. Pres
ton, of Des MoiIes, who was to read a
paper, was not present when the meeting
opened,the members proceeded to talk over
in free conversational manner the best
protection against accidents from getting
the foot caught in frogs. After the infor-
NAL talk had progressed aboat half an
hour Mr. Preston made his appearance.
MIR. PREsToN's REMARKS.
The matter of protection against dan
ger from frogs having been laid aside on
MIR. Preston's entrance, that gentleman
was called upon. The paper read by him
was quite long, and was devoted principal
ly to explaining the duties, responsible
ties and connection of the roadmaster to
and with the road. The railway was de
clared to be the great highway for all the
commerce of the world. The speaker ex-
planned his ideas of the railway
and the great Importance it is to
modern society. He maintained that nc
railroad company could impose for any
great length of time upon the community
a poor road bed. Epicurean dining cars
and other attractions will not compensate
for poor road bed, and road that neg
lects this will sooner Or later be left with
out business. The road bed is prime
necessity. OF course, it followed, that to
have a good road bed it would be necessary
to have good, capable, con-
scientions road masters. No road
master could expect an increase of salary
or promotion as long as be did not perfect
himself in his line. He could no more
expect this than the railroad owners can
expect smooth and satisfactory travelling
on poor roads. These considerations in
Dictated the Importance of the Road
masters association. The speaker then
enumerated the things necessary to be
done to make the organization success.
This enumeration if followed out would
make a pretty perfect man in almost
any kind of business. He argued that the
road masters, by properly uniting brain
and muscle, would make themselves more
valuable and would thus be entitled to
larger compensation. There were degrees
in the qualifications of men and some
men were worth more than others and
should be paid more. The paper was
listened to with a good deal of attention
and at the conclusion of the reading of it
the association voted to publish it in the
minutes of the meeting.
COMMITTEE REPORT.
The committee on drainage made a re-
port as follows which was adopted: Your
committee on drainage beg leave to report
that for stone and gravel ballast that the
the ditch should be at least seven feet
and not to exceed twelve feet from the
rail, and at least two feet below the bot
tom of the tie, the slope to commence
three inches above the bottom Of the tie,
and not to exceed two inches per foot for
mud track, the slope to commence from
the bottom of the tie.
The association then adjourned.
