The Railroads i'm 1881.

NOT AN AUsPICIoUS YEAR FOR THF COMPANIES.
CHICAGO, December 21.-The RdHlrdy Age has
the following: The year 1884. now closing, has not
been an ausplciouS one for the railways. Earnings
have been reduced, while managers and employees
are apprehensiye for the future. It Is shown that
foreclosure sales OF roads for some time bankrupt
have been going on, but not to any alarming eX-
tent. Fifteen roads, with a mileage OF only $50
miles, have thus been sold. In the previous year
eighteen roads, with mileage or 1850 miles, We're
sold, and this less than for several years pre-
ceding but the number OF companies which dur
ing the present year have gone into the hands OF
receivers indicates that new era of foreclosures
has begun, although 1t Is not likely TO be OF long
duration In 1884 receivers were appointed for
forty-three different companies, several OF them Of
much importance. few other companies are
struggling with difficulty tokeep their heads above
water. and unless the times and the public temper
Improve there is likely TO be considerable addition
to the list OF receirerShps during the coming year.
NEW CONSTRUCTION.
The construction record or 1884 has not been
remarkable one although the total is even greater
than could, perhaps, have been expected. About
4.000 miles OF new main track have been laid on
166 different lines. This shows average OF only
about twenty-four miles TO each road, which indi-
Gates that most OF the construction has been on
extensions or branches. Among the completed
roads is the New York, Philadelphia ana Norfolk.
which has been finished through Maryland TO a
point opposite Norfolk. Va Among the roads I'm
progress are the Baltimore and Ohios line TO New
York, the milwaukee,, Lake Shore AID Westerns
extension to Ashland, Wis. through Michigan; the
Northern Paciiics main line ever the Cascade
mountains TO Puget sound. and the oregon and
California and the California and oregon roads,
which are pushing toward each other 10 give an
all-rail line between Portland and san Francisco.
FAITH IN THE FUTURE.
The very large number OF railway enterprises
commenced Or projected during the year indicates
that railway building will still continue In spite OF
business depression, and that when good times re-
turn it Will assume extraordinary activity. A
glance at the map is only necessary 10 show that
great amount OF railway building must be done be-
fore this country will be fully supplied, and the
number OF companies that have already been
ORGANIZED shows that there is plenty of fait I'm the
future. Add to this the fact that every years
crease OF railway mileage means the necessity OF
an increased supply OF railway equipment and ma
teria and those interested In the manufacture and
sale OF railway goods have no reason to feel dis
couraged. Their business must inevitably increase,
and no man can set bounds TO its Possibilities.

WE learn from correspondents thai
on Monday there was what might b.
called a joint discussion at Meadvillt
between Mai. BARKsDALE and Mr.. VEL
LowLY. The latter, after rest of eight
or ten days from his round with Maj
b. at Madison, concluded that he would
avail himself of the Majors appoint
ment at MeadvilIe and sailed in again
1t is said to have been pretty much q
repetition of the Madison affair. The
most significant part of YELLOW
LY's deliverance at Meadville is that
he was driven to the point of de-
claring that he does not charge bull
doing, intimidation, or any other
illegal methods against the Democratic
party of Mississippi, and of declaring his
opposition to Maj. BARKsDALE's bill
to restore to the State the land granted
for the construction of the Gulf and
Ship Island Railroad, which has hereto
fore been regarded as cherished scheme
of all parties in the State. His com
plant against Maj. B. was that he voted
against the HOLMAN resolution, that all
the lands granted to the States for rail-
road construction should be declared
forfeited, and when informed that to
have voted for the resolution was to vote
against the Gulf and Ship Island grant,
he then took refuge in an argument
against the latter and went so far as to
of the course Of the Mississippi
delegation in securing an order from the
of the Interior Withdrawing
the lands from sale until Congress decid-
ed whether or not the grant shall be
revived to the State.

During my visit to ST. Paul l was the

Mason, Grand Secretary A. 7. C. PiersOn,
who made many inquiries about Missis-
sippi. The familiar faces Of Frederic
Speed and W. G. Paxton / found in his
portrait gallery of distinguished Masons.
Bro. Pierson was great admirer Of Judge
Howry, whom he met at several con-
claves OF the craft, and with whom he oc-
easionally corresponded.
And this reminds me that on Monday l
had the pleasure of meeting Hon. c. B.
Howry, of Oxford, who has been recreating
in these parts for some weeks, and was then
homeward bound The sight of familiar
face and the grasp of friendly hand is a
joyful experience when you get thousand
miles or more from your beaten track.
The growth of Minneapolis is marvellous.
Thirty years ago there were twelve farm
houses in the territory embracing the
present city limits. The present pOpula-
ton is estimated at 10000! Since the
census Of 1880, which gave it a population
of 4S,053, it has more than doubled Its
population. 1t is the leading milling city
in the world. Last year more flour was
| manufactured here than in any two other
cities in the world. The mills have an ag-
gregate daily capacity of g, 400 barrels, the
Pillsbury "A" having itself daily capaci-
ty of $500 barrels. Minneapolis is at the
head of navigation on the Mississippi
river, and St. Anthony Falls gives it fine
water power that operates its score Of lum-
Der mills, and its numerous -four mills and
other industries. 1t is certainly one of the
most beautiful cities on the continent. 1t
has scores of private residences that cost
from $4,000 to $4,000, and one-that oil
Hon. w. d. Washburn-thatc cost 100000.
The Hotel West now occupied, but not yet
fully finished, cost million and a half.
1t has " churches, costing from $780, 900 to
$3.50, 900 each, and several splendid public
school buildings, BUSINESS blocks, five and
six stories high, and costing up in the mil
lions, dazzle you with their immensely and
elegance. The newspapers are metropoli-
tan in their proportions and enterprise.
The Tribune building, is seven stories high,
and cost 1926, 900.
There is good deal Of rivalry and no
little jealousy between St. Paul and Min
neapoIis-two cities only seven miles apart
and each with a population of about one
hundred thousand. Minneapolis, think,
has the most Dragging capacity.
The weather has been quite cool here
overcoats being very comfortable at night
and early morning. Yours,

Malaria.

4
DR.. CONRAD ToMAsI CRUDELLI, Pro
fessor of Hygiene in the University a
Rome, maintains, ia opposition to til,
paludal theory of malaria, that til,
germ or virus is indigenous to the sol
whether wet or dry, except in localities
of certain elevation; that the malarial
ferment is the "Schizomycete bacillus,
requiring three conditions to make it an
active organism-frst, temperature
not below 67.5 Fahrenheit; second, 4
moderate humidity, and third, the direct
action of oxygen on the soil. DR.. CRU-
DELHI has no faith in the eucalyptus
globulus tree, as there are recorded in
stancesof grave malarial epidemics in the
immediate neighborhood of eucalyptus
plantations. As to quinine, he holds
that while at first it is an alternative,
it soon loses its efficacy and by weaken
ing certain organs, tends ultimately to-
invite malarial attacks. Arsenic gives
more favorable results, being especially
useful as prophylactic. Quinine when
freely used for q long period IS pro-
nounced to be true poison to the Yaso-
motor nerves. The treatment which
Dr.. CRUDELLI says has given the hap
piest results is very simple one, and
