Forty Thousand Americans Cross tb,

Twenty-nine steamship lines are en-
gagged in passenger traffic between this
city and various points in Great Britain
and on the continent. About 1870 iron
steamships are employed. Or this num-
Der the National line heads the list with
twelve vessels. Seven are engaged in the
Liverpool service and five in the London
trade. The Red Star and Anchor lines
follow with eight each; the Guion. North
German Lloyd and Hamburg lines
with seven each, and the White
Star, French, Cunard and State lines
rank next with six each. The Inman
line has "A fleet of five, the Monarch line
four, the Royal Netherlands five, the
Whlte Cross four, and the Italian line
three. These lines include the principal
ana faYorlte routes of tourist travel. and
during the season now closing nearly
10000 passengers have crossed the Attain
Tic In their respective steamers. Since
May | each company has dispatched al
least one vessel a week, while many of
them nave sent out two. notably the Ma
tonal, North German Lloyd and Anchor
lines. The Guion and White Star lines
also had extra service steamers during
the season. Counting only, then, the
regular weekly sailings for the
summer 1t appears there
CuIS poII weekly IOI twenty weeks, or an
aggregate of sailings for the season of $50
The average number of passengers car
rIed by each steamer was something over
100. These figures show an increase in
travel over all previous years, and the
probabilities are that next year will see
even these eclipsed. The favorite steam
ers were those of the Red Star, Guion.
National, Cunard, Anchor and White
Star lines, by which most of the enOr-
nous trafllc of the season has been done
Assuming the cost per person for pas-
sage Tor Europe and back to be the lowest
possible average, $l50, the sum total spent
for this alone reaches $6,000,000 Bv MANY
steamers the rates of passage paid during
the season have amounted to $500 for y
single fare, and in several instances $500
has been paid. The Alaska and Arizona
each have eleven rooms for which $500 is
asked, besides two others fOI which $500
must be paid. This Is also the case with
the City OF Rome and steamers of the
Cunard and North German LLOYD lines.
The price paid for the passage across
the Atlantic is comparatively a small
part OF the cost of trip to Europe. Al
though it is hard to strike anything like
an average of the expenditures abroad, it
IS safe To compute that no tourist spends
less than 5000 during his wanderings, and.
taking this sum as such an average. il is
found that the 10000 people who crossed
the Atlantic during the summer of 1888
have spent S20,O00,000. Add to this sum
the $6,OOO,O0Q spent in transit across the
ocean, and 1t brings the aggregate up to
SIG. .000.000

EXPIATIONs ON THE GIBBET
Three Black Murderers Hang on One
GallOws in Virginia


CHATHAM, Va, Sept. 2S.-Sawney
Younger, Reuben King and Isaac Evans,
three young negroes, were hung here to-
day tor the murder of VIM. :. Sheppard
last month. The execution was private,
only about fifteen persons witnessing it,
The drop fell at 1920 O'Clock. Younger's
neck was broken and the other two died
from strangulatiOn. All three protested
their innocence to the last. 4 detach-
ment of the Pittsylvania Guards acted as
an escort and did guard duty. There was
quite a large crowd in the vicinity of the
place of execution, but there was no
disturbance. Sheppard had driven a
load of vegetables to market
and was on his way home,
when the negroes waylaid and shot him.
They had shadOwed him in Danville, and
knowing that he carried money obtained
from the sale of his goods, they had hoped
to secure it. At the first shot his team
became frightened, and ran off, thus pre-
venting them from getting the booty.
They continued firing, however, as the
team started, and one of the bullets pierced
Sheppard'S heart.
