A TRAIN TRAGEDY.
Ttco Young Hen Proroh'e a Quarrel Viii
Fatal Results.

Isco Young Hen Provoke a Quarrel Viii,
Fatal Results.
The passenger train which left New Orleans
last Saturday evening was the scene of a
bloody and fatal shooting ARRAY, resulting in
the death of one man and the wounding of
two others. When the train reached Crystal
Springs in Copiah county, two young men,
named NARROW and Smith, boarded it, bound
for jackson. They Travelled through. the
train annoying passengers, slapping some on
the back, sitting in the laps of others, and
making themselves generally disagreeable.
At Brookhaven Deputy Sheriff Bell got on
the train with a number of convicts for the
penitentiary. Having been annoyed by Smith
and getting angry, he slapped at Smith but
struck NARROW, at the same time drawing his
pistol. Conductor McShane rushed in and
separated them, taking Bells pistol from him,
but after matters had become comparatively
Quiet returned it to him. Meantime NARROW
pulled his pistol and commenced firing. Two
shots struck Conductor McShane, but neither
wound is considered dangerous. The next
shot from Marlow's pistol struck Bell in the
hand. Bell pulled his pistol and fired several
shots, one of which struck NARROW in the
breast. When the train reached Jackson
physicians were summoned, and at once de-
clared that Marlows wound was mortal.
NARROW has been mixed up in several scrapes,
having been almost cut to pieces in an atfray
some time ago. Smith is the son of a wealthy
merchant of Copiah county, but has been dis
caried by his parents.

THE UNION PACIFIC.
a Summary of the Report of President
adams.


a Summary of the Report of President
adams.
AT the quarterly meeting of the directors of
the Union Pacific railway, recently held in
Boston, President Adams presented report
OF which the following is a summary:
To the Directors of the Union Pacific Rail-
statements which have been put forth, both
publicly and privately, in regard to the finan-
9ial outcome of the operations of the Union
aacinc system during the past year, it seems
advisable TO submit something authentic.
nave caused the following statement for the
year ending June 30 last, to be prepared. The
period covered includes the last half of the
company's fiscal year of 1883, and the first half
of 1854. This period was one of general rail-
road depression, more especially felt by the
union Pacific system, owing TO the construc-
uon, competing roads and the prevalence of
war rates. The twelve months in question
covered, therefore. as unfayorable period
as the Union Pacific system is likely to pass
through. During this exceptional period,
the requirements of the company's sinking
1und, and all liabilities to the government, the
surplus income of the system applicable to
dividends amounted to 522 per cent on the
companys capital. 1t is proper to add that
the earnings of the summer months are
always much larger than in the winter. Those
of the second half of the year are generally
ABOUT 20 per cent more than those of the first
half. The Oregon Short Line will be complet-
ed TO Huntington. the agreed point of con-
nection with the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton company's road. by the 18th of Novem-
Der. The first connection will be effected and
there 10 every reason to believe that this will
Immediately result in a large increase in traf-
nc. both for the Oregon Short Line and the
Union Pacific. The latter will thus be relieved
of a heavy financial burden which it has been
forced to carry much longer than was antici-
pated. The land sales have been larger than
ever before.

GREAT TURF EVENT.

Miss HoQdford and Drake Carter Run at
SheepsIead Bag.
Twenty thousand people went to Sleeps
head Bay on the 18th, owing generally to the
interesting programme of racing prepared,
but more particularly to see the race between
DIVER Brothers Miss Woodford and Pierre
Lorillard's Drake Carter. Sporting men from
ali over the country were present. Louisville,
Ky., sent large contingent. This contest
was known on the programme as the third
race. 1t was a match race for 5000 side
two miles and a half. Drake Carter was ridden
by Hayward at lis pounds, and Miss Woodford
nv Mclaughlin at H. In the pools Miss
Woodford sold at 800, Drake Carter $50. Bet
ting was 500 to S55 on Miss Woodford and So
TO s. against Drake Carter. Miss Woodford
and she was ornamented with red and blue
ribbons. Cheer after cheer went up as she
came on the track. She appeared to be in
wonderfully good form. few minutes after
Drake Carter galloped by. He wore hood
and sheet. Although Hayward wore Lorril-
lard's cherry and black, he aroused but few
faint cheers. The horses were slow to come
TO the post, but when the jockeys were once
mounted they were sent away to a capital
start. The race really needs but little descrip-
ing by the stand led by a length and half.
Miss Woodford under dead pull. At the end
of the mile and three furlongs Miss Woodford
went half q length nearer TO Carter, and there
remained to the quarter pole, which is at the
head of the stretch. Here Mclaughlin let the
filly out to Carter's head. Hayward at once
drew his whip. 1t was no use. Miss Wood
ford only seemed to take longer and Quicker
strides and quickly opened daylight between
herself and Carter, and appeared for mo-

WHEAT IN INDIA.
That Is Said Concerning 1t Ia the Agricmi-
turdt Report.

That Is Said Concerning 1t II, the Agricnl-
tnrat Report.
The September report Of the department OF
agriculture is just out and devotes consider
able space to the subject of "Wheat in India"
and says, among other things: AS regards
freight charges we have a substantial advan-
tage over India. not only in the comparative
proximity Of our Atlantic ports TO the Eu-
rOpean markets, but also in the comparative
cheapness of our transportation by rail.
Reducing Indian weights and money to Ameri-
can equivalents, the rates on wheat by rail
on the leading Indian railway in March.
1883, was little less than one cent per mile per
ton, as against less than two-thirds of cent
on the lines between Chicago and New York
in other words, the average of Indian rates is
fully fifty per cent higher than the rates on
American roads between these two cities.
While the advantage on the side of the United
States is much greater still If the Indian rates
are compared with our rates by lake or canal,
or even by lake and rail, the former bring
but little more than one-third of q cent and
the latter less than one-half cent per mile.

Our stern ancestors of the seventeenth
century would have smiled grimly could
they have known what their posteritv in
the nineteenth would call 'persecution
for opinions sake" That formidable
phrase is applied to the conduct of few
impulsive young men in Vermont who
have hung to Il tree Il stuffed suit of
clothes. labeled st. john" and given
midnight Serenades with tin horns and
similar instruments" to some prominent
men of the town The name attached
to the clothes was understood to desig-
nate a Mr.. st. John. who is said to have
been, some years ago. governor of Kan
sas, and who, this year, has been max
ing speeches in various parts of the coun-
try under the impression that he was a
candidate for the presidency. and the
prominent men who were Seren&ded are
believed to have voted for him for
that office, because, though now or lately
Republicans. they were dissatisfied with
the candidate of that party. The hang
ing of the suit of clothes and the
serenading of the prominent citizens
were intended as expressions of disap-
proval of the course pursued by Mr.. st.
John and his followers. All this oc-
CURED in Middlebury. and like scenes
are reported from other Vermont towns,
They are mentioned with grave and in
di9nant censure by some newspapers as
horrible examples of intolerant and cruel
bigotry. One sensitive gentleman in
Middlebury, college professor. with Il
highly organized nervous system, is said
TO be so shocked by this abominable cru
city. though he is not one of the martyrs,
that he says if men are to be prosecuted
like this for voting according to their
convictions he will never cast another
Republican ballot. 1t is all very sad,
of course, but. after all, the smiles of an
approving conscience ought to console in
some measure these poor prosecuted peo-
pie. 1t was very silly, and possibly very
wicked, to put Mr.. st. Johns name on
the clothes before hanging them to a
tree; the act of hanging up an old suit of
clothes stuffed with straw can scarcely
be regarded as criminal in itself. but
