2lst landed to the right of the forts, as the
boats went through the inlet, while the gum
boats were engaged with the forts. We passed
to the right and landed under cover of a gun
boat on a marsh. The 2lst was on the Union,
a stern-wheei boat with fat bottom. She ran
right upon the marsh. We landed near the
woods, and the 9th n. j. was landing on our

1t rained al night, and about daybreak as we
were roasting some fresh pork captured in the
night, the order came " Fall in 21st!" Our
pork was left roasting on the fire. and we went
into the fight, which was the first fighting I
ever saw. We marched through sYamps and
brushes and briers such as ! never saw before
nor since, our officers cutting their way with
their sabers water knee-deep, and sometimes
waist-deep- / well remember our first man

A London telegram Of May 5th says: "In
the suit of the Charles A. Vogeler Com
pany, Of Baltimore, against Parrot 8. Co..
of this city, the Court of Appeals has grant
ed the plaintiffs q perpetual injunction,
with costs. The action, which grew out
of an alleged infringement Of plaintiffs
well known trademark, St Jacobs OIL
was originally heard in the High Court of
Justice where Vice Chancellor Bacon, with
out going into the merits of the case, con-
sidered it was one that should go before
the Comptroller of Trademarks. From
this opinion the Vogeler Company APP
pealed, claiming that they were being in
| jured by tho goods Of the defendants, en-
titled St David's Oil, being mistaken for
theirs, and that while they had taken steps
to bring case before the Comptroller of
| trademarks, months would elapse be-
| fore q decision could be obtained,
and as their business would be seriously
injured by such delay, q restraining
order should be granted at once. The re-
| suit of the appeal was that perpetual in
| junction was made, with costs The pro-
ceedings before the Comptroller have
been abandoned by the defendants, and
the Baltimore house has thus achieved .
double victory. By the order Of the
| Court Of Appeal, PARROT & Co. and their
agents are perpetually restrained from
| using the term St David's Oil, or any
similar term, as well as the words The
Great German Remedy and any words
or marks similar to those used by the
vogeler Company in connection with their
St. Jacobs Oil. The progress of this suit
has been watched with interest by the mer-
camille and manufacturing community OF
Great Britain, where thousands of trade
marks of almost incalculable value are
owned. It was shown by the evidences
that plaintiffs had sold during the
past few years over seven million
bottles Of st. Jacobs Oil, and ex
pended as high as FIVE hundred
thousand dollars in single year for ad
vertising throughout the world. TheiI
success in this suit is regarded with grea'
satisfaction in business circles. Eminen

The Cost Of Running q Train.

As the passenger sits at car window
aInA sees the mile posts whirl past. he
seldom stops to reflect what it has cost
the company 10 pull the train mile.
A party of gentlemen, some of them
experienced business men, sat in the
lobby of the Kennard House yesterday,
when the question as to the cost OF run
ming an ordinarily heavy passenger
train was raised. Several of them made
estimates, but every one of them was
far below the amount. The average
cost of running an ordinary passenger
train of from six to ten coaches is from
81 to S1.25 a mile. This may seem
large at first, but when the several items
are taken into account one will suspect,
after all, that the estimate is too small.
One of the principal items is the rum
ming of the locomotive. 1t has been
the study of master mechanics to re-
duce the cost of running an engine, and
each claims to be little closer in his
calculations than the other. The aver
age cost during January of running
the engines on the Bee Line, for exam
pie, was 1917 cents per mile.
Freight engines run at cost per mile
of 17.73 cents. Passenger engines cost
less, viz, 17.24 cents per mile; while
switch engines, which are credited with
SO much mileage per day, regardless OF
the distances run, are run at so low o
cost as to reduce the average to 1871
cents per mile. The engines ran 34.6s
miles to ton of coal, and 1858 miles
to pint of oil.
Added to the expense of motive
power is the outlay for wear and teal
of cars; it is estimated that it cost:
three cents q mile to keep sleeping
car running, and the wages of trair
hands, etc. The expense from the item
of wear and tear is increased by an in
crease of the speed of train. Thu
special trains on the Lake Shore, run
ming at speed of about forty miles al
hour. and the fast mail, at about thirty
seven miles, are the most expensiv,
trains on that line. 1t is not general,
known what the Government pays tn
Lake Shore people for running the fas
mail from New York to Chicago. bu
it ought to receive at least $500 to full,
compensate it. Another little item O
railway operation is the expense o
stopping and starting train, which al
experienced railroad man said yester
day could not be effected at less ex
pense than from eighteen to twenty-fiv
cents at each stop Cleveland Herald
