refused. Between fifty and sixty drivers are

the head of navigation, 800 feet above level,
mostly on sioping ground, making drainage per-

WHOLESALE BUSINESS.

AS the Chicago Tribune says, the wholesale
business is leaving Chicago and moving west. that
city merely doing the jobbing business for its
contiguous territory, and acting as a supply
point for western jobbers. Merchandise, includ-
ing the products OF eastern factories, can be
bought in St. Paul as cheaply as in Chicago thus
saving our customers delay and the freight from
Chicago to St. Paul, over 400 miles. Much of
our goods are direct importations from Europe,
brought here in bond, thus saving expense of
breaking bulk at New York and Chicago-f2 of
our firms were large importers last year.
Yearly sales of S1,000,0O0 are now more num-
erous than were sales of 500, 900 ten years ago.
Some of our firms sold S4,500,000 each in
1883.

4 Locomotive Boiler to Solye the Problem
of Perfect Smoke Consumption.

Il Locomotive Boiler to Solve the Problem
of Perfect Smoke Consumption.
The Chicago g. Northwestern is now giving
trial to a new locomotive supplied with Co
ventry boiler, which, if it does what is
claimed for it, will solve the problem of
smoke consumption on locomotives. The
locomotive is a standard engine, with FIVE
foot drivers, and 17x24 inch cylinders,
mounted with the new Coventry boiler. The
boiler is sixty-inch shell, of Otis one-half
inch steel, with capacity TO the water line
of 1900 gallons of water. A very large
amount Of heating surface is exposed, hav-
ing 143 two-inch flues in the water and SO
three-inch flues above, part of which are in
the water and part in the steam. The heat
is carried from the fire box through the lower
or two-inch hues to the smoke box in the
front end, where it strikes defector and is
returned the length of the boiler through the
upper three inch fiues to a smoke box next
to the cab and elected from the stack il that
portion of the boiler. Thus, by the heat
traversing the boiler twice it acts as a partial
super-hedter in returning through the three
inch fues, and better com bustion is secured,
the heat being longer retained and given a
chance to expend all its usefulness in the
mass of steam and water, instead of being
shot by an immense draft directly up the
stack. The present standard boiler is well
known to be very wasteful one, losing all
the gasses and finer particles of coal; but
with the Coventry boiler all this wasted mat
ter is consumed. The draft in the boiler is
said to be steady, and no sparks or dust is
emitted from the stack. 1t is stated that the
locomotive on trial is making forty-six to
forty-eight miles with thirty cars and one
ton of coal, thus saving 20 to 25 per cent.
of fuel over ordinary engines.

TRANSPORTATION NOTES..
Cutting the Rates.


1t is very generally admitted among rail-
will be serious trouble both in the passenger
and freight business in the east before
great while unless strenuous efforts are
made Immediately to put stop to the de-
moralization now prevailing. All the roads
declare they are selling at full rates and that
they are not cutting, but it is very well I'M
derstood that this is merely figure of speech
and has no substance of truth in it. The
general offices also, in Chicago, claim to be
doing nothing but what is square and legiti-
mate, while the scalpers are at work indus
triously at cut rates. The Wabash still as
serts that no cutting is done over its road,
but it is said to be selling tickets direct to St.
Louis over the New York Central at S17.25,
the regular rate being $22.25. This is
| claimed to be only what is necessary to meet
the scalpeIs, and the reduction is claimed to
be paid direct to the traveller, instead of go
ing as commission to the broker. The
| scalpers say there is no intention of boycott
| ting the Wabash on account of the refusal
to receive the tickets now in the hands of
the scalping offices, and which were issued
at the time the war began-when the Wabash
opened its line to Chicago. The Chicago
Times of yesterday has this significant state
ment:
''Freight rates east-bound from Chicago
are daily becoming more demoralized, and
very little effort is being made to secure
tariff. Yesterday the Panhandle did itself
proud by beginning the loading at the stock
yards of the bulk of over six thousand tierces
of lard for export at an inland cut Of five
cents per hundred pounds. What the Pan
handle has not secured of that particular lot
was placed with the Wabash Hoosac Tunnel
line. Grain was taken freely yesterday al
twenty cents, and the com plications are con-
tinually increasing"

They have trunk and resemble baby

up at least eight inches, while that on

day concerning them:
Some friends of mine, who were
travelling in the Malay Peninsula a
few years ago learned from the ma
tives of the existence Of a strange
animal IN the mountains, and on their
return to Germany communicated
what they had heard to me. Since
then my agents have been securing
that country trying TO find a specimen
of the species The country is barren,
unattractive, aIsely settled and diff
fcult to explore. This accounts for
the long time that it has taken TO fad

these viii prove to be living specimens

Two MammOths on Their Way Here.

New York Tribune, September Is.
The steamer Werra, which sailed
from Bremen on September 10, and
will probably arrive in New York to-
morrow or Saturday, has on board
two strange animals, sent to Charles
Reiche, which are said to belong to
that species of pachyderm known as
the mammoth, which has always
been supposed to be extinct. They
were caught about six months ago,
near Quedah, town in the mount
aims OF the Malay Peninsula. They
are young and coincide exactly with
the description left by naturalist
named Adams of the Mammoth fossil
found imbedded IN the ice near the
mouth of the river Lena, on the Arctic
coast, except that these animals have
not the curved tusks found in the
fossils. They are females and are
two and half and five feet high.
