Trunk Line Troubles.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.l

Special Telegram to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-The meeting of
the executive committee of the trunk rail
roads, which is to 5e held at she Office of
Commissioner Fink, will be important.
Sikce last spring the organization known
as the joint executive committee of trunk
lines and their western connections mas
been constantly seeking devices to pre-
vent tho cutting of freigh. rates
by its members. The ingenuity of seY-
sral companies has also been taxed to find
ways of evading the regulations issued
from Mr.. Fink's Office. The resources of
the committee were apparently exhausted
about ten days ago, when it authorized the
commissioner upon the discovery of any
cut in the rates to reduce the schedule
rates peremptorily to the lowest cut fig
| ure5. The committee decided upon soEne
such policy as this several months ago. It.
however, was to be the Judge Of violations
of the schedule, and to decide
whether the wholesale penalty should
be inflicted. The Grand Trunk has open
ly charged IFS competitors with cutting
esst-bound rates. It's allegations must DE
considered, and will be at the meeting to-
morrow. The situation IS rendered more
serious by the action of the Delaware
Lackavanna & Western, which only recent
ly entered the pool; when the figures OF
the west-bound pool for the wess
before last were made up few days age
the very interesting discovery was made
that the Lackawanna had done 20 pei
cent. of the business as against q weekly
average of about 8 per cent. since it;
Buffalo extension was opened fer business
Its percentage in the pool has not yet beer
determined, having been left for Mr.
Fink to suggest or recommend after goinl
over the statistics.

The City We Sigh For.
Detroit Free Press. |

Joaquin Miller says that he signs for city
where ''the cruel civilization of modern en-
pire is unknown" and where there is rest
and quiet and peace to suit the hour of
dreams;' a city 'hedged in from hustle and
feverish rush for gain;'' a city "placid as a
moonlit lake and neutral rs a maiden's
blush" city where "a poet may seek and
find congenial ears and healthful hearts, a
city where ambition slumbers and nature
wields the sceptre over all" The New York
Graphic says that there is such city, but
instead of saying that it is Philadelphia, as
New YORK wits generally do, or Milwaukee
or st. Louis, as the Chicago groundlings are
quick to remark, The Graphic explains that it
is the cemetery-the city of the dead The
Graphic may have set out to SCOT. bat it

The Razor as n Weapon.
[Chicago News.


''The razor is becoming an obsolete weapon
among the black people on the levee," said a
colored officer of the Harrison street police
station. ''The young bloods have mostly de-
parted from the traditions of the plantation,
and now if one of them wants to get even
with anybody he generally provides himself
with a revolver. OF course it doesn't follow
that he attempts to do any shooting. Ere
quently he merely carries it around in his
pocket and brags aboutit, and shows it to his
friends in the saloons After few days he
pawns it or gets arrested for carrying a con-
cealed weapon. No, the old days of carving
outlets out of man with razor have nearly
gone by. Two or three times year, maybe,
some particular. vicious black man slices
somebody with a dozen gashes each foot
long, but that sort of thing isn't considered
good form nawadays"
GLOW did colored people come to adopt the
razor as a weapon!"
"Well, the slaves on the plantations were
generally not allowed to own guns or pistols.
Il was against the law for any one to sell
them ammunition. Many of them could get
razors easily. They got accustomed to car
rying razorS, and many of those who moved
north, after the war, brought razors in their
pE0Ac1S, oieofe>, VI sUo"eu away III the legs
of their boots. To carry razors had become
a sort of tradition with the bloodthirsty
ones"
Glow is an attack made with razor?'
Rough and tumble, any way to get there.
If the man who is attacked doesn't turn and
run, he gets slashed in the face and arms, or
both. If he tries to run away he is likely to
get a rake in the back which will lay open
the flesh so wide that the surgeon can look
through the mans ribs into his interior like q
small boy peeping through the pickets of an
orchard fence. A razor is a terrible weapon.
l would rather face revolver than one OF
them any day.

PEACHES IN DELAWARE.
What a Veteran Fruit Dealer Says About
the Outlook.

A Philadelphia exchange of to-day says
There are indications that the forthcoming
peach crop from the Delaware Peninsula
will be one of the finest and most satisfac-
tory in many years. In the course of an in
terview yesterday with George M. Stetson,
who is regarded as one of the authorities on
the subject, the prophesy was made that
there would undoubtedly be fine and pro-
fitable yield. Mr.. Stetson is the Oldest
peach packer in the United States, having
started the canning of the fruit right in the
midst of the Delaware peach orchards 26
years ago.
t'In order to understand the situation"
said Mr.. Stetson, ''it is necessary to bear in
mind that the peaches are formed ON the
tree In October of the fall preceding the
summer In which they reach their growth.
Every summer the tree extends It's branches,
or, as is said, makes new wood 1t is from
this new wood entirely that the peaches for
the succeeding season are produced. Old
wood that has once produced peaches does
not as a rule produce them again. After
the tree has borne its fruit In the sum-
mer. in about two months the
| little buds appear that are next sea-
sons peaches. Altogether no larger
/ than a pin's head, when examined with a
magnifying glass they show the perfect
| peach in miniature. This is how it some
| times happens that the WnOle peacn crop Is
killed as early as December. The year
before last there were no peaches for this
reason; but, having failed to bear that year
and the vitality and energy OF the plant
going in consequence entirely to the trees,
last year the trees gave of an unusual
growth and made large quantities OF new
wood. The more new wood there is on the
tree the more prolific will be the fruitage, but
it will necessarily be at the expense OF size
and quality The result was that while the
peaches last year were plentiful they were
small, poor In quality and SO wanting in vi
tality that they could not be shipped long
distances without spelling. Last fall there
was not much new wood made and the saI
did not rise to develop the buds before the
cold of winter. No better conditions for 9
good crop could exist. As result
there will be better fruit this year than last
although not quite so much Of 1t. There will
be less peaches on a branch, but they will b'
finer. larger, more vigorous and will bring
the farmers more money than the small anC
puny ones did last year.
"Another favorable thing" the speake
went on, "has been the uniformly cold wea
: ther of the present winter, which has KEEP
the sap down and prevented buds from
swelling. They are now in q condition t
stand any amount of cold that we can pos
! | sibly have. They are entirely out OF danger
When they have been previously pushe
| forward they sometimes blossom in Marc
and then a sleet comes and freezes in tn
blossom and the fruit is killed. This canno
happen now."

Mrs. jenkins Again.

AT Police Court last evening, Mary Ann
Jenkins, colored, living at $40 Tatnall
street, was tried for the attempted larceny
of two pounds of sausage from the stand Of
Matthew Gallagher, a butcher in Eighth
street Market last Saturday morning at 6
O'Clock. Five witnesses positively identified
Mrs. Jenkins as the person who took the
sausage The watchman of the market
also positively identified the woman, and
explained how he had detected her.
The defendant produced number OF
witnesses who positively swore that she was
not out of the house before Z O'Clock on that
morning. Lewis G. Vandegrift conducted
the defense. The Mayor reserved his decis-
sion. Mrs. Jenkins was before HIS Honor
a week ago on the same charge, but by some
misunderstanding the witnesses for the
prosecution were absent. She then had j.
T. Heald testify to her good character and
also presented a paper signed by II wei
known families to the sane effect. She wai
/ then discharged.
