A professor in yassar College tells me
that the managers are really alarmed BY
the steady falling OFF in pupils during the
past five years. The number now is only
a littlo more than half that OF 1876. "The
cause isn't in any deterioration Of the col
lege ITSELF" said the professor, .for 1t is
the same noble school as ever. The trou-
BILE is that yassar has become thing to
poke fun at. Half the new jokes about
girls are put upon Vassar students. Their
doings are ridiculed, exaggerated, ialsifed
and the very name OF Yassar is q syno-
nym for feminine foolishness. The con-
sequence is that girls are beginning to dis:

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
Freight Trains on Southern and
Western Roads Wrecked.
Several Train Men Killed and Others
Injured.

PoRT DEPOSIT, Md, Dec 30.-The engine
of the freight train due here at Abs p. m. left
the track on the Baltimore Central Railroad
at Mt Alverno yesterday, and plunged down
an almost perpendicular embankment into
gully twenty feet deep, partly burying itself
in the earth at the bottom. The tender went
over the top of the engine, carrying away
the cab and fatally crushing the engineer,
James Rambo, and seriously, and it is feared
fatally injuring the fireman, George Mutt.
Isaac Williams, the conductor, was also on
the engine, but escaped by jumping, as did
the rest of the crew, save one brakeman,
who was slightly injured. Five loaded house
cars were carried off the track and two OF
them went down the bank and are badly
wrecked. The engine is not much broken,
almost totally ruined. 1t will, however, be
an expensive and laborious job to get the en-
gine on the track again, and it will probably
have first to be taken to pieces James
RambO, the engineer, was killed. almost IN
stantly. He was 80 years OF age, and leaves
ten weeks old, in Philadelphia, where he
lived. George Mutt, the injured fireman,
hvs wife and one child in Lamokin,. Penn.
The accident was caused by the breaking OF
an axle.
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 30.-On the Michi-
gan Central road near Carrollt0n, this
morning, an engine bound north with one
car collided with an engine going south with
a train. Both engines were total wrecks,
and the firemen, T.. Mooney and George
HUM, and Engineer Robert G. Mills
received fatal injuries.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. SO.-A collision occurred
this morning at Kinders Station, on the
Wabash Railroad, between two freight
trains. by which Conductor Meridith was
instantly killed and two others fatally in

RAILWAY MATTERS.
RAILWAY BUILDING IN 1885.

RAILWAY BUILDING IN 1885.
The Railway Age of Chicago in its review Of
railway building during the past year, will say:
The total length of main line, not including sec
ond track, sdings, or renewals, laid in the United
States during 1886 was 3113 miles. This is about
700 miles less than the new mileage of 1884, and
it is less than in any year since 1878 when the
total was but 26S7 miles, The work done has
been largely on branches and extensions Of mod
crate length and has not included any very large
lines, such as in previous years nave helped
greatly to swell the total.
In New England and the East almost new
track has been added The principal activity has
been in the Southern States and in the belt
between the Missouri river and the Pacific States
and Territories.
During the last ten years the railway mileage Of
the United States has been increased. 54,766
miles and now reaches IN round num1eTs le tne
also be remembered, take no account OF the i'm
mense expenditures for additional main tracks,
for SdingS, and for renewals OF old tracks.
The renewals alone the past year have been
equal to the laying of thousands OF miles OF new
track and have consumed much greater quS-
tity of rails than the extensions Of new roadT
the wear. There Is every indication thr
has marked the lowest point in the an
railway extension for some years TO co
that 1856 will be signalized by very
crease of construction and the outlook
coming year is full of hope for manufacture
all others interested directly or indirectly in A.
way construction and it seems certain to be a
year of general prosperity in the country.
THE INTERNATIONAL RAILWAY.
A meeting of the directors of the international
Railway was held in Bangor yesterday, the follow
ing gentlemen being present: Charles G. Colby,
president, Stanstead, Can. D. Z. McFee, Lenno1-
Vile, Can. F. A. Wilson, E. R. Burpee, Bangor.
1t was voted to accept the location of the line
from point on the Kennebec river half a mile
from Moosehead Lake, thence across the lake
and almost directly east to Mattawar'
the Maine Central Railroad. The plans nIIl be
filed tomorrow.
NOTES.
The Toledo Cincinnati and st. Louis Railroad
marrow gauge was sold yesterday under the
foreclosure Of the u,yrtgage by Master Commits
~siaHer w. P. Fishback. 1t was sold In two divis-
ions, one from Toledo to KokomO and the other
from KokomO to East St. Louis, There was prac-
tically contest for its possession, Sylvester II.
Kneeland of New York securing both divisions,
the first at bid Of $50 1000 and the second at
100000.
The changes introduced into the management
of the Grand Trunk Railroad have obliterated the
Great Western as a separate division. The line
west of Toronto has been divided into two divis-
ions, to be known as the northern and southern
divisions Railway men express the opinion that
these changes will result in much more practl-
cal amalgamation of the two old rival systems,
and tend to more harmonious working.

ing that he was hired by the year and was
therefore entitled to the full amount Of the

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE MIKADO.


Portland Theatre presented sight last evening
that must have delighted the eyes of the mana
gers Every seat down stairs and almost every
one in the balcony was occupied, and there were
many gentlemen standing. The performance was
of the same high standard of excellence as when
the company visited the city week ago, and in
many respects the music was better rendered, and
the action improved, owing to the familiarity OBJ
tanned by frequent representations. There were
two changes in the cast. Miss Clement, the Yum
Yum of the Hollis street theatre, Boston, and
Miss Montague, who assumed the part in Port
land last week, exchanged places, and Nj. Brooke
the former Lord High Executioner KO-Ko gave
place in the part to Mr.. r. Blair Miss Clement is
a very pretty young woman, with winning coun-
with the finish and smoothness that comes by long
familiarity with part. Her voice is pleasant
and she was well received Mr. Blair makes
opera was staged with the same care as before
and there were many encoreS OF the popular
numbers It IS to pc hoped tnat "a MI r. Stetson VIII

of excellent capacity, and our musical public
would like to hear and see them.
DENAIAN THOMPSON
A large advance sale shows that Denman
Thompson's impersonation of the old Swansea
farmer is still strong drawing card in this vlcin-
ity and Portland Theatre will see three large au-
diences gathered at the Friday afternoon and eve
ming and Saturday evening performances. New
Years being legal holiday there will be a good
chance to visit the theatre.

The Queen of the Belgians is very fond of the
theatre, and when the court went into mourning
for the King of Spain, making her continued at
tendance at the theatre out OF place. she still en-
joyed the performances by the aid of the tele-
phone, listening at times to the rehearsals also.
Apropos, London Life tells good story. The
Queen was listening to a rehearsal Of the ITEM
pliers" when suddenly she dropped the ear piece
of the telephone and was so agltated that her at
tendants thought her i'll. She had simply heard
rather emphatic remark OF the conductor address
ed to his forces. Since then the rehearsals have
been conducted with remarkable suavity Of man.
ner and elegance of diction in the utterance Of d.
reetion and comment.

THE FLOUR MARKET.
How the Mills of Minneapolis, Minn..
Add to 1t.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 30-In it's re-
view of the flour production and market, the
North Western Miller Of Jan. will say
Milling operations seem to continue in the
old groove, with no particular change for
better or worse. Though last week was cut
short nearly two days, the flour production
amounted to 1920 barrels, averaging 12, 1858
barrels daily, against 96,05S barrels the pre-
ceding week, and $4,000 barrels for the cor
responding time in 1884. Thirteen to fifteen
mills are in motion, and the output ranges
from 49, 900 to $4,000 barrels daily this week.
Save with the very largest firms the mills
take turns running the same set, not contin-
uing two weeks at q time. Two mills that
and another of half their capacity started
up today Thirteen mills are odn IN motion with
another of 500 barrels, is preparing to
start tomorrow, and one Of 2oO-barrel capac-
ity will be closed down this evening. Con-
siderable flour is being shipped, much of it
going into store at Duluth and Milwaukee
There is a irmer feeling in the -four market,
and the millers are confident there will be an
improvement in prices soon.
