win the Bankrupt Roads Maintain Rates?

VIII the bankrupt ROADS NAalnbaAh 1NaUes.
Railroad officials who are in favor of main
tanning rates express some doubt as to the roads
which are in the hands of receivers living up to
rates Take the Wabash, the West Shore and
other roads which might be named. In the
past says the Indicator, sit has been one of the
remarkable features of the railroad business
that bankrupt concern can dictate to solvent
roads A receivership is sort of letter of
marque and reprisal authorizing the road to
make war upon all other roads. Bankruptcy of
a rival does not mean the removal of that rival
from the field; the road stays, although the
owners may change. 1t is to the interest of no
railroad, therefore, to crowd its rivals into in
solvency for in doing that it is only clipping its
own claws and sharpening those of its foes" If
railroad managers are fully determined that
they will carry at rate yielding fair profit,
and not otherwise, and will suppress all
undue enterprise on the part of their agents,
they will soon be in a prosperous condition, and
will render spectators powerless to injure their
road or securities.

5000 miles, and may fall as low as 1000 miles
At the beginning of the year the new railroad
mileage projected was SO large as to justify the
prediction that from 10, 900 to $1,000 miles would
be completed before December 81 The cost OF
labor and of material made it possible for this
new mileage to be created at much lower eX-
penditure of money than for many years. But
the cost of getting the money more than counter
balances the cheapnesS of building.

The wabash People to Drop the O., M. & p.
Division,


There is good authority for stating that the
Wabash people are to drop the lease of the
Quincy, Missouri & Pacific, and that a syn
Ssicate has been formed which is to take the
road, and in connection with the Chicago & Rock
Island open a parallel and competing
line of the Hannibal g. St Joe
which is operated by the c., B. & Q.
people. The O., NJ & P. connects with the c.
& r. ]. at Trenton. The syndicate which takes
hold Of the O., NJ & P. are amply able to put
the road-bed and equipments in frst-class condi-
ton, and propose so to do at once. There will
be but seven miles difference in the length of the
competing lines that being i'll favor of the H. g.
st. Joe.
Falling Behind the Record of Previous Years.
The uncertain value of railway securities is in
terfering seriously with the buildingof new roads
and extensions of old ones and many projects
for the time being will evidently be shelved
Railroad construction this year is behind the
record Of the four preceding years 1t is but
little more than half of what it was at this time
in 1882 and less than 80 per cent. of the new
mileage of 1883 1t is only about 60 per cent Of
the mileage Of each of the years 1880 and 1881,
and about % per cent. less than that of 1873 At
the present rate of construction, allowing that a
similar increase viii occur in the latter part of
tie year, us is noticeable in previous years, the

How Long and Fredericlxs Provided for
Themselves at the Expense of Others.
New York Special.
The dissensions among the Greedy party which
were more OF less marked during all their long
stay in the arctic regions ended at last in COM
plete division of the survivors AS time passed
at the camp on Cape Sabine and the outlook be-
came more and more gloomy, and human flesh
was finally resorted to as food, the stronger ones
obtained the lions share
Lieutenant Greedy, Hospital Steward B;eder-
beck and Private Cornell were the weakest ones of
thepaRty when the relief ships arrived. Sergeant
Brainerd had little strength left. He stood by
Greedy as none of the others did, and supplied
him with share OF the food. Sergeants Long
and Fredericks were quito strong. The former
was able to go about on short hunting expedi-
tiops, IN which he was accompanied by Sergt
Fredericks. The game secured was shared by
these two, so selfish had they become by the
desperate extremity to which they were re-
dueed The sufferings of the others did not ap-
peal to them. The two sergeants determined to
live together and the others might die. AL dis
cipline was gone, and 1t was struggle as to
who should live the longest.
A statement was published yesterday from
Leigh Smith, of London, the famous Artic ex-
plorer in which he said the survivors should not
have been SO weak and Frustrated if they had
been living on human flesh. The truth is that
the first reports Of their condition seem to have
been much exaggerated, especially with regard to
Long Fredericks and Branerd The first two
named walked unassisted to the steam
launch in gale that tried the sailors OF
the relief ships to keep their feet. The others
were quite weak-soma Of them too weak to
walk, 1t is also true that the pangs of hunger
were not such as to lead Long, Fredeflcks, or
Brainerd to overeat, even had they been given
the chance. Besides the duck which Long was
eating when rescue came, two other ducks which
had been shot by him were found behind rocks
near the winter camp. Here was food for day
or two carefully put away.

FRANKLIN PIERCE. PRESIDENT.
JEFFERSON DAVIS. SECRETARY OF WAR.

Mr. Stanton did not like to see the name of
the President of the Southern Confederacy oeeu-
plying so prominent place upon a government
structure OF his own motion he ordered it cut
out. and it was done. 1t does not appear to be a
matter OF official record Ii it Is, your corre-
spondent failed to discover it after long tour of
inquiry through the War Department and the
District government, Mr.. Stantea thought Mr.
Davis had forfeited all right to have his name
there, and said it must be chiseled out When
ne put his foot down it generally stayed there,
and he was not in the habit of stopping to in
quire what the other people would say or think
about what he did His action in this case has
been much criticised as an exhibition of petty
maliSnance, but the intense loyal feeling that
pervaded the North at the time fully justified
the act lis not likely that the sour-faced
man would then have felt as free to make the
remark qaotbd. Had the name remained there
until now probably it would have remained UNI
disturbed. Its ensure was merely minor in
incident in the history Of the great war
1T might as well have been left there. said q
lady, because everybody inquiries about It, and
why it was done. If it had not been cut out it
would not have attracted half so much atten-
ton"
There was one young lady of twenty in the
party who drew more than her share of notice
by asking very innoeentiy, and with an evident
desire to learn, who Jefferson Davis was, and
what he did that they cut his name out of that
stone
The sour-faced man. who seemed to be some
what in need of reconstruction, replied TO her
queries by saying: Jefferson Davis was guilty
Of the same crime that Washington and Han
cock and all the founders of our Nation were
when they declared this free republic and
made war upon the mother country to achieve
Independence. Mr.. Davis and his compatriots
failed, and so they are called traitors
With this deiiverance he turned away, his face
looking more sour than ever.

romantic name from eccentric character who,
many years ago, lived alone IN a little cabin

of Cabin John. The bridge is Of solid masonry

l learned it when was girl in Switzerland
Very few in this country know anything cor
rectly about it Numbers of people endeavor to
find it out, and they experiment to learn it,
especially to do it by machinery, but without
success. But, ali mel It is no longer business
that is anything worth. Thirty years ago many
stone draw plates were wanted, for then there
was a great deal done IN flagree gold iewelry.
Then the plates were worth from So. so up to as
high as SIS, according to the magnitude Of the
stones and the size Of the holes bored in them.
Now, however all that good time is passed. No
body wants flagree gold jewelry any more, and
there is SO little demand for fine wire Of the
precious metals that few draw plates are de-
sired The prices now are no more than from
ST. Is UP to say 49, but it is very rare that one
is required the cost of which is more than
81. And of that = very large part must go to
the lapilary to pay for the stone and for
his work in cutting it to an even round disk.
Then, what get for the long and hard work Of
boring the stone by hand is very little. BY
handf Oh yes That must always be the only
good way. The work Of the machine is not per-
feet. 1t never produces sueh good plates as are
made by the hand and eye of the trained artisan.
How are they boredf All sir, you must excuse
me that I do not tell you that. 1t is simple but
there is just a little of it that is a secret and
that little makes the vast differences between
producing work which is good and that which is
