The Compact in a Nutshell.

I'm der the new trunk-line deal all the lines to
the seaboard north of Washington are included
Each trunk-line will make cratic arrangement
with each of its W estern connections, covering
joint due-bilIs of lading, through t,kets inter
change of cars, prorating, ETC.; but only on con-
dltion that the connecting road adhere to
the established and published tariffs. If any
connecting road fails to maintain rates, it will
be cut off. Each trunk line formally agrees to
maintain rates over affiliated roads, and will be
empowered to represent and act for such roads
in matters connected with the maintenance of
joint tariffs; and no agent officer or fastfreight-
To get the points down small, it is joint man
agement; no separate action; arbitration of all
disagreement; each trunk line responsible for
through rates over all connecting roads; rate
making power taken from the thousand hands
which now hold it, and lodged with one small
body directly responsible for its use. This GER
tainly goes to the root of the troubles.

Judge Hammond's Two Jokes.

Memphis Avalanche.
The Avalanche reporter asked the Judge if he
had had a pleasant time at his moonshne court
at Jackson. "Oh yes" said the Judge, land
also at Columbus, o., where l held court two
weeks for my friend, Judge Gage, who could not
leave his his family on account of sickness"
Did you find any moonshiners up there2"
mo, but we put no less than eleven men in
prison for breaking into and stealing from the
postoffces and robbing letters. l asked the
assistant district attorney what was the matter
with the Ohio men, as there seemed TO be an
epidemic Of breaking into the postoffices. and he
replied that it was the only way they could get
'em under Cleveland's administration And that

trip" said the Judge, but you will print it, and
don't mind if you do, as it is at my own ex

''There was a trial for selling two plugs of to-
bacco without license, a sort of fagend to a
prosecution which had failed in the State court
for stealing the tobacco and after the charge of
the court, the jury were badly hung. We were
about to adjourn for the night, when an old
gentleman from the back seat in the jury box
arose and inquired if he might address the court.

The Wrong He Did His Wife and the Retri-
button that Followed.
Eugene Field, in Chicago News.
A man whose greatness had brought him fame
and wealth lay on his death-bed A woman
clasped his hands, and with her kisses and words
of love, strove to soothe his dying agonies
Many years ago this man and this woman were
made husband and wife, and side by side thew
started upon. lifes journey. Youth, love and
hope gave them strength. No other posses
sions had they, yet the future was full of prom
Use.
The man gloried in his majestic manliness
Health made him marvel of noble beauty His
frame was Of iron his muscles were of steel and
his brain was clean and vigorous as the sturdy
heart that throbbed in his rugged breast Sue
cess-which is another term for wealth and fame
came to him as certainly as it always does to
the brave and strong Who was there that did
not admire the manliness of his art2
But In the years that followed this success the
man neglected the woman his wife. Dazzlsd
by the glory Of his trumphs, his eyes were blind
to the beauty, the loyalty, and the sweetness of
her love- Perhaps he thought the woman whom
the sturdy, unknown youth had taken to his
heart was unworthy to share the fruits of the
great and honored mans conquests But he put
her away in all charity let it be said the wrong
came not from an evil heart but from the false
glitter by which unparalleled prosperity
blinded his eyes and turned his head
To this wrong succeeded greater Women
who knew not the sweetness and sacredness of
purity openly and wantonly gloried in his unholy
homage. And into this popular idols life there
crept shame that meant inevitable and ire
trievable ruin.
Who counted the tears-who heard the agon-
lied prayers of the heart broken wife in all the
years of this proud, strong mans exalta.ion9
That divine, almighty power that has written in
every human bosom this eternal truth-that he
who puts stain upon his hearthstone and vio-
lates wifely love shall pay sure and dreadful
penalty.
So it came to pass that at the very height of
his glory, and in the full possession of his pow
ers an awful retribution came upon the great,
strong man. The shame of his splendid life had
planted its poisons thick and deep, ana the rum
was complete A cloud fell upon the strong
mans reason, and his majestic frame crumbed
and withered with disease. Where then were
his fatterers, and where the comely sirens that
with their false charms had allured him from

The Ohio River Pool Rickety.

Troubles have arts en- in the Chicago & Ohio
River pool which threaten its existence beyond
Dec 1, when the pool expires by Limitation.
The management of two of the roads say that,
unless certain abuses are corrected, they will
not enter into the pool for another year. For
instance the L.. N. A. & G. is charged with
dealing with shippers tickets entirely too liber
ally giving one man two. three, or any number
he requests. Then, again, theatrical troupes are
secured by indirectly cutting rates, issuing too
many free tickets. These matters came UP
Wednesday, at the meeting, and the commits
sioners, after hearing the allegations
said they would be referred to
the executive committee. This did
not please some of the general passenger
agents, who remarked to Commissioner Richard
son that questions of similar import had been
referred to the committee months ago. ard no
report had yet been made. Mr. Adams, of the
c., St l.. 81 p, asked Commissioner Richardson
what competitors Of the offending roads should
do while the executive committee had their
breaking of agreements under consideration, as
no check had been put on these offending roads
continuing their methods of doing business
The session was stormy one and much time, it

Sixth street, below Freeman avenue, was awak-

ringing sensation in her head. 1t became
worse each minute, and she finally aroused the
household.
A physician was Immediately summoned. but
by the time he arrived the woman was in hyster-
les. A hasty examination was made and the
physician gave his opinion that a bug had
crawled in the woman's ear and fastened itself
on the ear drum.
The woman's condition was such that other
physicians were called in, and at this hour they
are doing their utmost to relieve the sufferer.
The woman is thought to be losing her reason.

A Great Railroad Property.

But few persons comprehend the extent Of the
system of roads of which George Roberts is pres
ident and which are known as Pennsylvania
lines. The line of the Pennsylvania system EN-
braces about $500 miles of railroad, including
all east and west of Pttsburg, and clear idea
of the territory covered can only he conveyed
by map. At the close of 1884 the mileage
operated of east of Pittsburg and Erie, on which
earnings as reported were based, was 2,2O2
miles. The great number of leases both east
and west of Pittsburg, were made for the most
part under the administrations of j. Edgar
Thomson and Thomas A. Scott In the few years
preceding 1873.
The Pennsylvania railroad stock Total 1914,
1850 stock and $S3, 900 bonds) has been in
creased from time to time, chiefly by the sale of
stocks at par to stockholders, for the purpose of
raising capital for new ACQUISITIONS or better
ments In the period Of depression following 1873
the Pennsylvania railroad dividends were reduced
| and sometimes passed. The dividends paid each
year since 1870 have benin 1871, 1872 1873
and 1874, 10 per cent each year; in 1875 and

against $l3, 542 260 in 1884. For the same period
the lines west of Pittsbure show deficit of
2S7 9l8 in 1885. against deficit of $649 524 in
1884 The policy of the company under the
present management has been to develop the
territory through which the line and connections
run. and this has been emnently successful and
promises to build up notably substantial prop
erty. The Pennsylvania Company is a corpora
ton chartered by the Pennsylvania Legislature,

railroad, and it operates all the leased lines west
of Pittsburg The stock, 800 600, 900, is owned by

to So He was unfortunate at the start,
having fifth place and breaking just after
the wire was crossed Bonnie McGregor
and Butterscotch had an interesting scufde
for first place, being neck and neck around
the back stretch, each horse gaining a tenn
porary advantage alternately. McGregor
broke. however, and went to the rear.
Prince Arthur, meanwhile, was gaining on
the crowd, and at the last came in good
second, only length behind McGregor,
who won. Middleton came in third, but
made an unintentional foul. for which the
judges set her back. Time, 1925.
Second Heat-Prince Arthur SO, field
$40. 1t was very even start between the
five horses, and a most absorbing contest
took place for the first position between
McGregor and Prince Arthur. Neither had
the advantage around the first turn until
McGregor broke, thus letting the Midway
horse get the pole. McGregor took his feet
again shortly and passed the quarter second,
Davis, Butterscotch and Middleton follow
ing in the order named. The favorite kept
his lead and increased it to three or four
lengths on the back stretch, which had not
been much diminished when they came out
of the cut McGregor pushed him hard
though, on the home stretch, but broke near
the distance stand, and so had to be content
with second place. The other three horses
were punched so that it was almost impos-
sible to distinguish them. Boston Davis
was somewhat in the rear laboring heavily
under the lash. but was unab bic to catch
them. The other two horses came in close
together. Butterscotch about half a length
in advance The time, 2:2115, was re-
ceived with cheers from the grand stand.

OF course the information the gallant gave
would not always stand close analysis,
but it was always accepted as gospel by
the grateful maiden.
ON THE TRACK
the events were the most interesting of
any that have been witnessed since the
fair opened, and, drawn by the added at
traction of the militia drill, more people
witnessed them. So long had been the
program that it could not be rushed off be-
fore it began to get dusky
and consequently the list of attractions to-
day is heightened by that number The
return from the grounds began at o'clock,
few who had tired of the crowd and had
been surfeited with attractions taking the
incoming trains as early as that hour,
though the bulk of the crowd was taken to
the two cities between 5 and $50 O'clock
and probably with no greater delay and no
more general crowd and consequent dis
comfort than is always attendant on the
handling of so great number of people.
Everybody voted the day success and a
magnificent one IRON start to finish,

The management of the fair ought to
take charge of the official score card busi-
ness. The races for yesterday were all
plainly announced in the morning papers,
and yet the score cards that were peddled
at the exorbitant price of Is cents each yes
terday were incorrect in almost every race,
and being very misleading were worse than
useless. Most people leave their news
papers and Bibles at home when they &C

what is better, look after the matter itself.

R. C. S1UNGER.

It is not too NJ ch to say of this gentle
man that his ey. is as true for harmony in
colors as is bis ear for harmony in music.
He is genuine lover of art and has each
year patriotically and enthusiastically dis
charged his duties in the department noted,
at the state fair, and much credit is
due him for his earnest hard
work most artistically performed.
This year the building for the art gallery
was not completed, and under most dis
couraging difficulties in the main building
Mr.. Munger made a very handsome and
tasteful display of those pictures Offered
for competition in prizes. He made no
effort to make loan exhibition of valua-
BILE paintings, which he would probably
have done had suitable building been
ready, but simply arranged competition
pictures in the most striking way. No
man has worked harder in the main build
ing than Mr.. Munger.
