The wabash win Paw IT'S Interest.

/ ST. Louis, July Regarding the contem-
plated action by the holders Of North Missouri
railroad bonds in connection with the default of
interest on them by the Wabash Company, ref
erence to which was made in these dispatches
last Saturday, Jas. F. How, general agent of the
receivers, stated this morning that the default
is'ouly temporary, and that the interest WILDE
paid soon as the money Gamble raised. The
court authorized interest to be paid, not only on
these bonds. but also on those Of the Chicago
division and the st Charles Burlington IS 0ma-
How says part of this; money has already been
sent to New York, and he expects the remainder
to besthere by the middle,of August when the
entire amount will be paid and the default made

What Investigation Has Brought Out Regard
ing the Grand Old Erie.

What Investigation Has Brought Out Regard
ing the Grand Old Erie.
If it is not believed that the Erie is a great,
grand road, let one read what the investigation
recently has brought out. The gross earnings
Of the Erie road have increased nearly &c. 900 900
in eight years, while in 1883 they were over
IS, 600, 900 more than they were in 1877, and
over So OOO 900 more than in 1882. The net
earnings are over So, 900, 900 more than in 1875,
and So, 600 more than in 1877. The per
centage of operating expenses has been reduced
from 70. Ii in 1873 and r. 10 per cent In 1876 to
64:78 per cent in 1883 very encouraging in
crease has taken place in the freight traffic, the
number of tons carried in 1883 being more than
double that of 1875. There has been a. steady
decrease in the charges for transportation, so
that the gross revenue per ton per mile in 1888
was only .780 against l209 cents In
1875 The economy Of the management of the
road is seen In the fact, however, that while the
gross revenue has decreased, the net revenue
per ton per mile has increased from 251 cent to
.261 cent In 1880 and 1881 the net revenue was
larger, but in this particular the Erie has suf-
fered no more than other roads.
Since 1878 the capitalization has been in
creased about 100000 yet during the five
years since the following sums have been ex-
pended in construction and for new property and
equipment. 1879 50, 1876, Ala; 1880, So 092 079
1881 So $685. 845; 1882 $2 TIC 080; 1888 81 222 1861
total, $13801 1885,
Over $4, SOC, 600 has been put into permanent
improvements in excess of the increase IN CAPT
talization since 1873 The mileage operated has
been increased from 942 miles in 1875 and 928
miles in 1873 to l, or in 1888 mot including the
New York, Pennsylvania &c Ohio road. whose
mileage is 588 miles, making the total operated
in 1883, 1860 miIes.l The additions to equip
ment have been very large. The company now
has 564 locomotives. Between 1875 and 1878
there was only small increase In the number OF
engines and cars but since 1878 there has been
an addition of 48 engines and 1908 cars, while
many worn-out engines and cars have been re-
placed with new and better ones. In addition,
the New York. Pennsylvania & Ohio has 1881
cars making the total 37962
Since 1878 the company has increased its
mileage Isl per cent, and its equipment nearly
l50 per cent while its capital has been increased
less than 6 per cent

The Germ of a Trunk-Line war.

The West shore and New York Central roads
have got into squabble over passenger rates
growing out of excursion business. It is under
stood that hereafter the New York Central will
make lower rates than the West Shore on any
excursion which the latter viii get up. A friend
of the Central says 'sthey don'tpropose to appeal
to the trunk-lne executive committee 1t
would beno use. The West Shore has practic-
ally refused to- cooperate with them in making
rates from competitive points in defiance of ex-
than meet any rates it may have made" AS
yet the competition has been confined to local
business. Some railroad men think that before
long it will affect through business between the
two roads, and consequently, the traffic of the
other trunk lines

An Analysis of the Earnings of the PennsyI
vania Lines for June.

The gross earnings of the Pennsylvania lines
for June east of Pittsburg, this year were the
smallest since 1881, the working expenses were
larger than in any other year except last year
and 1873 and the net earnings were not only s
per. cent, less than last year, but were 80 per
cent. less than 1882 (which for most roads was a
very unfavorable timel, 81 per cent less than
1881, and only $72, 900 more than $780, when the
stock of the company was nearly $50, 900 less
than now.
The lines west of Pittsburg and Erie, how
ever, make much more unfavorable showing
for June than the eastern system. At the end
of May the western lines showed deficiency in
meeting all liabilities amounting to $363562
During June this deficit has been increased
1850, 1928, to 1924, 400 This is decrease for
June of $567, 54 from the result on these lines
last year, when they showed asurplus, and this
is nearly six times as great as the decrease in
net earnings on the eastern system, and much
more than the decrease in the latter for the
whole six months. The decrease in the latter
for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company from
both systems forthe month was thus $663 $780,
which is as much as the usual dividend for a
month

the advance, worthy of note, was the report that
the Wabash road was taking freight from Chica-
go to the seaboard, via Forest ILL.,, at cut of 5
cents Traffic Manager Smith positively denies
all truth Of this report. The facts in the case
are as follows: Tuesday the general manager Of
the White lnetelegraphed his agent at st. Louis
that Mr.. J. B. NJ Kehlor the miller, had secured
a contract for rates ON -four, by the terms of
which l, 900 sacks were to be shipped daily for
export during August The rate named was
very low, so low as to warrant the belief that
one of the east bound roads had agreed to help
the ocean line out. The local agent was in
structed to investigate the matter The natural
inference was, as the Wabash was the only Ed
wardsvile line, and the stuff was billed from
that place, that the Wabash was the guilty par
ty, if there was any cutting and the rumor soon
got out, backed by seemingly good authority
that such was the case. Mr. smith
investigated the matter, and found that
Mr. Kehlor had contract with the Cunard line
of steamers for the transportation of Hour to
Europe during August at low rates-how low is
no ones affair but his He has no contract with
the Wabash and will have none, except at full
tariff rates Mr.. Smith says: IF any man con-
nected with the Wabash has made any contract,
or makes any contract hereafter, to forward
freight atless than tariff rates, shall discharge
him on the spot and repudiate the contract. The
policy of this road will be most emphatically to
maintain all pool agreements, and Ihaye already
so notified every employ. 9

Antiquity Of Agriculture.

Notwithstanding the obscurity that
surrounds the beginnings OF agricul-
ture in different regions, 1T is settled
the dates vary exceedingly. One
Sof the earliest examples OF cultivated
plants is drawn from Egypt, in the
shape OF q design representing figs in
M Of the pyramids of Gizeh. The
GATE OF the construction Of the o Il
ment is uncertain, authors vary in as
signing it to f. ON fifteen hundred to
fou- thousand two hundred years be-
fore the Christian era. Ii we assign it
to two thousand years before Christ,
we would have an anti u.ty of four
thousand years for the fig. Now, the
pyramids can have been constructed
only by 4 numerous people, organized
and civilized to a certain degree, who
must consel uently have had an estab.
lished agriculture, gong back several
centuries, at least. for its origin.
In china, twenty-seven hundred years
before Christ, the Emperor Chen.
hung introduced a ceremony in which,
every year, five spec es OF useful plents
were sown-viz.. rec. sc. a, wheat, and
two kinds OF millet. These plants
must have been cultivated for some
length of time in some places to have
attracted the attention Of the Emperor
at this period.
Agriculture seems, then, to be us
ancient in China us in Egypt. The
Constant intercourse Of the latter coun-
try with Mesopotamia j~ustiiies us in
presuming that cultivation was almost
contemporaneous in the regions of the
EuphraJes and the Nile. Why may it
not have been quite as ancient in India
and the Indian Archipela o. The his
tory OF the Dravidian and Malaysian
people does not go back very far, and
is very OBJ cure; but there is 10 reason
for presuming that cultivation, par
ticularty on the banks OF the rivers,
did not begin among them a very long
time ago.-A. dc CaNdoL G, ID Popular
