Thirty-two prominent railroad men were stopping
at hotels in Jacksonville Fla. Tuesday last
The Eastern Boston & Maine and Maine Central
roads of Massachusetts, have adopted the Union self
car-coupler.
Arrangements have been completed for the extern
sion of the Denver & New Orleans railroad, and the
contract for the completion of the road will be
cuted within few days
1t is stated that the West Shore is already more
than earning expenses. The company has contracted
for "a large amount of additional passenger and freight
equipment and it will change its schedules of trains
soon and will run faster trains
After April / the general offices of the Boston
Hoosac Tunnel & Western Railroad Company will be
at Mechanicsvle which will also be the postofce adj

At the annual election for officers Of the Pennsyl-
wanna road, Tuesday last, there were 604919
shares-representng over $50 600 900 capital at par
cast for the ticket There were so 40 more shares
voted this year than last but this because of an
effort having been made this year to draw out larger
vote.
Boston and New York business men are urging the
Boston e Albany people to put on more fast trains.
The Boston Albany people say before they put any
more fast trains they desire to have the present
ones show better financial returns. They say no such
trains needed and they make out a pretty good
case.
Elections to determine per cent tax to aid in the
construction of the New Albany, Cannelton Leaven-
worth narrow gauge railroad have been ordered in
Perry county, as follows: Troy township, April 30
Anderson township, May 2; Clark township, May A.;

in another department of the mill The firm refuse to
talk about the process.
Travellers who go by the Michigan Central new

Rates BADLY on at Chicago.

There is evidently cutting of eastbound rates at
this point below the recent reduced rates although
rumor current last evening that the Nickel
Plate line had taken freight at a cut
under the last reduction. At st.
Louis rates reported firm at the reduced figures
but at Chicago attention is paid to rates if reports
are true. The Lackawanna on Wednesday took 100
900 bushels of grain at twelveanda halfcents rate
and when called to account alleged that it was
done by mistake. The Nickel plate agent took no
tract for the entire G0000 bushels at lively e-and
ahalf cent rate per hundred pounds to New York 1t
impossible to learn the rate but It is said to
have been export business. Should this rate be con
tnued at Chicago doubtless indianapolis, St Louis
and Peoria will make a similar reduction.

The annual report of the Cleveland, Columbus,
Cincinnati & indianapolis road is published in
the usual pamphlet form, and makes very fair show
ing, considering the difficulties under which the roads
in that section labored last year In the first half of
the year both tonnage and earnings increased and
presented figures unprecedented in the roads history
Later the freight revenue fell off the partial
failure of the crops and in the autumn the road stood
firm in maintaining rates while others took business
from it by observing the tariff agreement in letter
only. The following is comparative statement of
1888 with 1892;

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Anotner change is
shortly to be made in the titles of officers
of the operating and traffic department. of

have always been obnoxious to people
dealing with the road because of their un-
seemly length. According to the new ar

tenoed over the whole line. Superintendent
Of Traffic Mnir will be general traffic man

a FEARFUL DEATH.

FALL RIVER, MASS, Jan. 16.-About
10 tonight a gentleman passing the
residence of Charles P. Stickney discov-
cred blaze in the upper chambers. En-
tering the house he was met by horrible
sight. Just inside the door on the stairs
was Stickney, with his clothing in flames
and his hands shockingly burned. At the
head of the stairs lay Mrs. Stickney, dead,
her clothing burned off. He learned that
Stickney's clothing took fire while endeav-
orlng to save his wife,
A servant girl, the only other inmate could
glVeno particulars regarding the Cause of
the fire. Stickney's condition is precar-
lous. Hewas one of the three Fall River
defaulters sentenced at Concord. The flesh
on Mrs. Stickney's limbs, body and face
was horribly burned. The face showed
that death was preceded by terrible agony
Prompt work by the neighbors and the
firemen soon checked the flames which
did slight damage. Stickney was removed
to neiohbor's housa and
medical aid summoned One of his hands
were burned almost completely off, and he
lay IN terrible agony. AS near as can be
ascertained, Mrs. Stickney had been en-
gagged in saturating carpet with naphtha
TO kill months, and in some manner the
naphtha ignited, and in an instant the
whole room was ablazs. The flames com
municated to Mrs. Stickney's clothing, and
she ran out to the head of the stairs where
she fell exhausted. Stickney hearing her
screams, hurried to her assistance, with
the result mentioned
