THE Financial Chronicle gives the
gross earnings Of 50 railroads for the
six months Of 1883 ending June 80, at
$l45, 393. 646,a net increase Of sll 500,
1876 over the same period in 1882. In
this increase all but fifteen Of the
reads named participated. The growth
Of railroad business is ell the more
apparent when account is taken of the
fact that for the first six months Of
1882 the roads then reporting and in,
eluded in this exhibit, 50 in number,
showed an increase Of $l7, 100000. or
IA per cent over the gross earnings o (
the first half of 1881. The increase
this year is 8 per cent over the large
increase of last year.

The Laconfa Horror-FaneraI Services
 Over the Victfms-A Plea of insanity for
 the Murderer.
 LAooNIA, Nov. 27.-The inquest in the salmon-F n-Ford-Ruddy case was adjourned to- day till Saturday. Mrs. Ford's remains were buried to-day, the funeral occurring at the court house, the Methodist and Baptist pas tors participating. The funeral of Buddy and his child took place at the Catholic church this morning and was attended by 8 vast concourse. The services were very touching. The murderer does not know but that the house was burned down and the bodies of his three victims consumed. It Is intended to disclose the facts to him at once and ct the same time confront him with Mrs Buddy, hoping that he will then break down and confess. Mrs. Salmon evidently believes her husband insane Mrs. Rud- dy has been in sort of comatose state until to-day when 6 reaction took place with symptoms of inflammation. There are fears to night that she may not recover. Mrs. Ford had been married twice previous to her union with Ford. She WAS first married to man named Chauncey, who was possessed or considerable wealth. Her second husband. was named Scales. Both are buried In Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn, in fine lot.
 The excitement Is abating somewhat and affairs are settling back into the old ruts, d. though the tragedy still continues to be the tepic of nearly all conversations. No new developments are expected till the prelirni- nary trial of Salmon, who still strenuously declares his innocence of the crime It is highly probable that the plea of insanity will be made in his defense.
 BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 27.-In an interview today with Salmon's brother, who holds a responsible position at 77 Devonshire street, he said that some years ago there was some thing wrong with his brother as he threw himself into the water from the South Boston bridge, but was rescued from drowning. He thought he must have been insane.

 WAsHINaroN, Nov. 27.-The headquarters of the several candidates for the Speaker ship have presented busy scenes during the day and night and as fast as members havs arrived in the city they have been escorted to the hotels and mustered in, according to their wishes. Probably ninety Democratic members are in town to o-night. The Randall people are still confident of success and say "while Mir. Randall may not receive the nomination on the first ballot it Is sure to come" This remark is construed by Car lisle leader to be an indication of weakness on the part of the Randall msn, "who," he says, "but fsR days ago maintained that Randall would be nominated oh the first bal lot. Mir. Randall said this morning that 1t would be impossible at present to effect said the Carlisle delegate, ''it has been given out by Randalrs friends that the only question about nom- mating Randall on the first ballot vas whether it would be policy to do so or not. To say now that 8 nomination cannot be effected on the first ballot indicates de- cided change of base and shows weakness The Carlisle men say that they have pledges sufficient to nominate, but do not expect g nomination on the first ballot. Nr. Cox re. ceives his friends as usual and claims the en- tire New York delegation with the exception of Hon. Nick Muller. It is known, however, that there are st least three other New York members who cannot be held after the first ballOE. Mr. SnTlDQ6F raised hiH gate to three votes to-day by the ac- oession of Dunn of Arkansas. Major J. N. Edwards of the St. Joseph. Mo. Gazette, and a staaneh supporter of MT. Randall is out in an interview in favor of the Pennsylvania candi- date. Speaking of the tariff issue he says the Democrats should not touch it now. Give the party the Ohio platform as contradist1n- guishsd from the Hancock-Wattersen plat form he says. Make the country see and un- derstand that the Democrats mean to show their faith by their works in the election of Randall for Speaker and that most pitiful and disgracoful stampede of 1880 with the tariff for revenue platform will never be wit messed again.
