WESTERN RAILROADS.

The Southern Pacific Railway com
pany, which owns and controls the
Southern and Central Pacihc system,
finds itself compelled to cut down ex-
penses. Since the first'of the year 2.50C
employees have been discharged, and
at the end of the month many more will
be let out, several of what have been
regarded as the fat positions being
abolished. The operating expenses are
in excess of the receipts, and the econ
omic measures are necessary.
When people read of the extortionate
charges by railroads, they wonder
that the companies should be
compelled to reduce expenses.
The rates are unquestionably high, in
many instances being outrageous =
three or four times what they should
be; and yet the railways of the west
are all reducing expenses, not from
choice, but from necessity. The reason
for this is well enough understood by
the railroad people, and by others who
are acquainted with the railway indus
try. There are too many roads for the
country, the business will not support
them. There are five lines across the
continent, when the entire traffic be-
tween the Pacific and the east could be
readily handled by two, and at moder-
ate rates there would be fair profit on
the capital invested in two roads;
but when you divide the business into
five parts, the portions must be small.
Each of these roads costs just as much
to operate it as it would if all the trans
portation were given to but two of
them. Right here at home, the case is
illustrated very plainly. Two railroads
entering Salt Lake from the same direc-
ton are one too many; one road could
earn money, while two are forced to put
expenses down to the limits almost of
stinginess, and the stockholders must
forego the luxury of dividends. In
plain words, railroads have been ex-
tended westward from the Missouri
river faster and more frequently
than the country demanded;
the sparsely settled communities can
not support them. When we look over
the field, the wonder is that absolute
bankruptcy has not overtaken one-half
the companies.
s The Southern Pacific will natura1Iv
suffer most, because it is not only one of
the most expensive roads to operate but
traverses a country thatcan contribute
little to its support. There are hum
dreds of miles of line-through South
ern California, across Arizona and New
Mexico-that is little better than
desert with here and there an oasis that
supplies little trade, but moth
ing like enough to pay for run
ming the train, saying nothing
of the cost of the road. The company
must make its money from through
business, and when the through bust
ness Of the Pacific Coast is apportioned
among FIVE roads, the part falling to the
Southern Pacific is not large enough to
pay the expenses of operating the line.
Gradually the conditions should i'm
prove, and things be better for the rail
roads, but it will be long time before
the west can maintain the railroads
now constructed.

WASHINGTON, January 24.--When
the news Of the explosions reached the
House Of Representatives the members
were disposed to doubt its authenticity.
On its confirmation, however, they
evinced much interest, and eagerly
sought such information as was obtain
able. "This is becoming serious
thing" said one, "and must receive
such attention and action a. its serious
ness deserves"
Representative Finnerty sat in the
House lobby when the news was first
announced to him. "0f course it will
be laid to the IRISH" he said, - but the
Nihilists may he in London as they are
in the cities of Russia"
One or two members were disposed
to exhibit a degree Of timidity, and re-
marked, "What if an attempt was
made to blow up the House of Repre-
sentatives where would we be?"
A Democratic member said /: "Dyna-
mite is being used too promiscuously.
In Chicago il has been found, and now
its force is felt in the English Parlia-
ment. but what can be done? England
should use the most forcible measures
to discover the perpetrators of this decd.
If it has been done by men or women.
they should hang any one found guilty"
Senator's received the early news OF
the explosions in London with incre-
dulity. Several of them sent to the
Associated Press office to make in
quiries about it, and being assured that
the reports were correct, much anxiety
was displayed to know the details, and
reports, as fast as they were received.
were sent to the Senate. which was in
secret session.
II is understood that the dynamite
bill introduced by Senator Edmunds
was prepared at the State Department,
and Of course before the tidings of to-
days explosions reached Washington.
The introduction of the bill was, how
ever. undoubtedly fastened by the news
| from London.
Senators in secret session are reported
to have expressed their adherence Of
the crime in the most emphatic terms

Her Novel Plan or Keeping Her Husband at
Home.

Home
In making the rounds Of Gloucester,
n. j.. a reporter discovered quite an IN
teresting item Of court news. Alexsn-
der Harvey, late a justice of the peace
of that place, is the defendant in an ac-
ton brought by his wife for alimony on
account of alleged desertion. The
defence offered to the wife's charge
is quite novel, and is without prece-
dent in divorce proceedings. The
defendant alleges that he LETT his wife
for iustifiable cause that for period OF
fully one year she kept him in a state
of constant physical pain by the appii-
cation of croton-oil to his undergar-
mcnts, and that when this oil came IN
contact with his skin, and was subject
TO friction, it acted as torture, espc-
cally when walking. When in state
of repoSe his misery was not so keen.
Mr.. Harvey was a club-man. and was
frequently out, as his wife alleges, in
the evening. After the application OF
the croton-oil he was always home
at night, and was a peculiarly
submissive husband. But for the
fact, as he alleges, that his
wife revealed the secret Of his tor
lures to number of married ladies
whose husbands were also members OF
clubs the cause of his physical suffer
ings would probably have never been
ascertained. The testimony of the
druggist who sold Mrs. Harvey the GRO
ton oil and of the physician who treated
Mr.. Harvey has been recorded. A
number of lady visitors will be called
upon, the defendant declares. to testify
as to Mrs. Harvey's admissions as to
having applied the oil, and that she did
it to keep him from leaving the house

ST. PETERSBURG, January "a
Excitement is rife among Government
officials to-day over the attempted
assassination of Observation-Disclosures
Kollert. He was attacked by two
strangers in one Of the main thorough
fares in broad daylight this morning.
His ASSISTANTS each fired shots from re-
yolyers at him and then fled. They
were pursued and captured. One gave
his name as Pchelingew and the other
gave his as Leonow. Both have been
identified as wcll-known Nihilists. SUI
perintendent Roberts escape is conSid-
cred as extraordinary, as not one of the
shots struck his person.

LONDON, January 24.-ihe War
Office has made public a dispatch re-
ceiyed this afternoon from General Lord
Wolseley at korti. He says he has
heard nothing further from General
Stewart. The reported capture of
Omdurman by FL Mahdi's forces
Wolscley says lacks confirmation,
and is doubtful. General Earle's
column is thoroughly proyisioncd and
equipped, comprising artillery. cavalry,
and camel corps. and started to-day
from Ilamdab for Berber. The march
is to be made by way of Abu llamed.
The enemy. which includes the entire
fighting force Of the MonaSsir tribe,
under the command Of Wadgamr, who
crGcred the murder Of Consul Stewart
and fighting men of other tribes under
Mous,a. are assembled in war order at
Xiii. This i. three hundred miles above
lIamdab, the starting-point of to-day 5
expedition. ,
General Wol>cloy says that both
Madam and Mous,a boast that they
are determined 20 give battle. If 50
an engagement between these chiefs
end General Earle by Monday would
seem inevitable. General Wolselcy says,
however. that the soldiers who 80 with
General Earle are all in the best
Of health and spirits. They re-
gard General Stewards battle Of
! lat Saturday as a glorious victory
are proud Of the achievements OF theI
comrades. and are very anxious to mee'
the rebels on their own account. Gen
cral Wolscley declares that the Arab
have been depressed by the news o
Stewards victory. and that its ettec
had been 50 great and widespread that
in his opinion, it may properly be con
Sidcred doubtful if General Earle vii
meet with any serious opposition before
reaching Berber.

Interesting Revival OF ReiiRion- Deaths.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch
JANUARY "a, 1885.
The revival Of religion under Dr..
Dinwiddie's preaching, referred to in
this correspondence several days ago,
continues with increasing interest. Up
to last night there were about eighty
five conversions reported, of whom
at least one half are young ladies
Of the Augusta Female Seminary.
DIR. Dinwiddie is sojourning there,
but has taken = rest to-day, having
preached and held revival services every
day for twelve days. He will resume
his labors in the pulpit and inquiry
meetings tomorrow and preach during
the coming week, and there is every
prospect that the work will spread
until every congregation in the city shall
feel its influence.
Rev. Lewis b. Johnston, Of Hebron
church, the new pastor there, preached
at the Second Presbyterian church here
to-day. Tomorrow communion SER
vices will be held there, and there will
be more additions to the membership OF
that congregation, which has been uni
ting with the congregation Of the First
church in the services of the past two
weeks.
Rev. j. p. Strider has been quite I'M
well during the week and unable to at
tend the interesting services at his
church, but he is better, and will pro-
baby be able to take part in them du-
ring the coming week.
Mr.. Albert CARRIER, venerable and
esteemed citizen of Staunton, died last
night aged about eighty-one. He was
the father of your well-known towns
man Major A. W. CARRIER. He will be
buried tomorrow afternoon from Trim
ity church. A large family of children
survive him, he having also lost two
sons in the Confederate army.
Mrs. Robert Bickle, wife Of one OF
our wealthy and well-known citizens,
died also last night after long illness.
Miss Lucy Bagby, Of your city, who
several weeks ago fractured her leg SO
badly by stepping from carriage, is
getting along nicely, and will in week
or two be allowed to use her limb.
The candidates for the post-oflicC
here have narrowed down to two.
