EX-PRIYATE DRUM,
His Way of Treating All His subOr-
dinnies Who Approach Him.

1t is related of General Drum that several
months ago a gentleman who had served in
his Office as "private" approached the
pompous Adiutant- General few days after
he had been discharged and asked in con
fident tone:
"Say, General how does it feel to have
everyone about you bowling and scraping
about as though they were worked by wires
and springs?"
This is gross impertinence," roared the
lion-lille and ferocious Martinez, as he sum
moned messenger to eject the offender
who frequently before had been compelled
to bow and scrape while in Drums pres
ence. 1t is said that no clerk in the Adult
tant Generals Office dares to approach the
sti1-backcd General in other than soldier
like manner, in which it is necessary for
the victim to stand erect, eyes front, hands
upon the seams of the trolser legs, chin
slightly elevated, belly drawn in, the heels
of each foot touching, with the toes angu
lar, and breathing only through the nose
In other words, the clerks are compelled to
pose before Drum like an Egyptian
mummy before tourist

now drawing to a close, is estimated to have
yielded at least three million tons, which is
one of the largest, if not the largest, eyer
taken from that river. The ice gathered

inches, and, owing to the low condition OF
the river when it was froze over. is as
clear as crystal. The housing this year

TRAFFIC DISAPPOINTING.


No Orders for Cars to Load with Grain,
and but Little Inquiry.
Orders for cars to load with grain are not COM
ing in as freely as usual in early July, and bust
ness has not as yet shown the Improvement
that this month was expected to bring, and
daily evidence is increasing that, while there
may be an increase in traffic later in the month,
there is not to be any boom in
business. The fast-freight lines are dis
tributing cars literally on the side tracks of
western and Southern roads, but shippers are
showing no anxiety lest they will be unable to
secure cars as they want them. One of the
heaviest shippers over Indianapolis lines, in
years past, yesterday stated TO the railroad re-
porter of the journal that July 10, 1882, he had
over 100000 bushels of wheat con-
tracted for, while this year he had not 500 BUSH
els. Another party, who represents a Baltimore
grain firm, stated that last year, before the mid
die of July, he had 10000 bushels con-
lraeted for west of the Ohio river. This year lie
had NOT contracted for a bushel this side of the
river. Neither party seemed able to explain the
tardy movement, unless il is that farmers are
not obliged to sell, and will not accept prices
now offered. Agents of fast-freight lines are
eager Tor business. There are more roads and
more lines TO carry the business, yet none, unless
1t be the Erie and Midland lines, are doing as
much business as usual in July, and indications
are now that the same state of affairs is to exist
Tor some weeks TO cUIm, unless farmers conclude
10 sell their wheat at present prices.

VICTORY UPON VICTORY.
The Mccormick Gathers a String of
Scalps at Remington.
The Champion, Empire, bennett,
Buckeye and st. Paul the Victims.

At Remington, Ind. yesterday, was achieved
the of the crown of laurels which
adorns the Mccormick Twine-Binder during the
season OF 1883. Aside from the great Lexing-
ton, KY, contest, which was acknowledged to
be the most fercely fought of any during the en-
tire harvest time, the trial It Remington has
he'd no equal. The McCormic was fought by
all the machines on the ground, and every effort
made by the experts to show that there we're
imperfections in the grand old daddy" of ma
chimes. Bnt all efforts proved of no avail, and
the Mccormick walked over the course, conquer
ing all opposition and taking another step up
ward in the estimation OF the honest tillers of
the soil who witnessed the contest.
The Minneapolis, Osborn, Wood and Excelsior
did not have the nerve TO face the music, and
those who did enter the field were most beauti-
fully sat down upon. The deciding point of the
contest was a low, marshy piece OF ground in
one corner of the field. Here 1t was that the
Champion went down, and with difficulty was
extricate Ell from the mire. The Empire got into
the same box, as did also the bennett, st. Paul
and Buckeye. Here 1t was that the Mccormick
displayed its superiority, riding across the
swamp, cutting a clean swath, ana missing not a
single bundle or revolution of the reel. A vote,
taken at the close of the day, resulted in 81 as
against 81 for all other machines. This contest
closes the season, and forever settles the ques-
ton as to the right of the Mccormick TO the
championship Of the world.

BAIT FOR
More About the Peoples RaiIway-A Har-
rowing Suspicion that British Capt.
tai May Seize 1t.

Fred. L. Horton, the reformed book agent, who
Is soliciting subscriptions to the ''stock" Of the
"People's" railway of America, communicated
the following to a reporter of the Journal yester-
day, with "oaited" breath. The intent is to show
that those who get in on the ground floor get a
bigger thing than those who come i'll later. He
said:
"a great many business men will subscribe for
at least one share, the par value Of which is So,
out which will cost them 1920 in thirteen as
sesslnents Of $3.50 each. They only risk two dol
lars ana nifty cents, as they will have no further
assessments to pay until the whole of the first
series of four hundred thousand shares is taken
throughout the United States. The assessments
are not TO be taken Oftener than once in three
months, and it will take longer than that to get
the hret issue subscribed for. We have an offer
from an Eastern syndicate and one
soon as the first series is taken, to take
ponds OF the Peoples railway at 90 cents on the
dollar, and this viii furnish money enough 10 go
on. one OF the gentlemen of one of these syndl-
Gates wrote that he had recently returned from
London, England, where he had placed over
S4O,OOO,OO0 of American securities, aud that he

dollars OF Idle capital awaiting Investment"
Iheres no doubt that England is full to over
moving with capitalists anxious to take stock in
american enterprises. II Is even surmlsed that
the assisted immigrants who have been landed
on our shores during the past mouth are British
capitalists In disguise, who have come over to
invest Ia stock i'll the Peoples railway. 1t will
De TOO bad II we wake up some morning to find
that this purely American enterprise has been
