Miscellaneous Notes.


It is stated that the luminosity between the
Pennsylvania railroad and the Vanderbilt sys-
tenn is becoming more pronounced and bids fair
to grow steadily in bitterness.
The Tacoma News says that a large force of
men have been sent to the present terminus of
the California 81 Oregon railroad, and that
operations will be resumed in a short time.
The Boston Journal says the fact that a
large proportion of the traffic from the West is
now brought there at the New York rate has led
other roads, as well as the Boston & Albany, to
refuse to pay the usual rebate upon export
freights. unless the Boston rate is five cents per
LOO pounds more than the New York rate.
The Boston Traveller. in speaking of the Atchi-
son Topeka d Sana Fe road, says: The ''fnau-
cial condition of the company was never better,
and at no time in its history have the investment
preston of the price is clearly the result of a
deal on the part of those who started the bear
movement some time ago."
The Dubuque & Northwestern railroad. pro-
jected to run from Dubuque, Ia, to a connection
on the Minnesota State line, near Mona, with
the Minnesota q Northwestern, for st. Paul, is
assuming tangible form. This town of Dubuque
voted $500. 900 TO the new road, and $105, 600 has
already been collected out of $l60, 600, which, it
was stipulated. should be raised before July l.
The earnings of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
railroad for the fourth week of May were $50,
800. against $32. 800 for the same week last year;
decrease. So. 900. For the month of May the
road earned $l26. 1913. against Sill, 800 in May,
1884, a gain of $14. 019. From January l to May
81, inclusive. the earnings aggregated $626, 543,
against $563, 100 for the same period last year, an
increase of So, TAT for the first FIVE months of
the year.

where will the End Bea

Freight rates, more especially east bound con-
tinue to drop from day to day. An Indianapolis
line for a few weeks past has been taking the
business of an Indianapolis shipper at
fourteen cents per 100 pounds. The agent Of a
competing line gave the shipper to understand
that he had got to have that business, and in his
efforts to secure it dropped from fourteen cents
per 100 to nine.and one half cents, then did not
get the business, but forced the original line to
take it at that rate. Another road cut the rate
on lumber, Indianapolis to Buffalo, to eight cents
per 100 pound. a cut of three and one-half cents,
did not get the business, but forced a more direct
line to take a 1O-cent per 100 pound rate from a
shipper who had not before objected to a liz
cent rate. The worst of it ia, the Generalization
seems to be becoming more general. AT st.
Louis, Tuesday, one road cut the rate on freights
to interior points of Indiana and Ohio In two
in the middle. The road is getting no more
business by so doing. but has simply forced the
other roads to make the same rate. On Ihurs-
day a competitor of the j. st L., Bee-llne mop
ing to get the dressed beef New England bust
ness, cut the rate 33 per cent. They did not get
the business, however, but forced the Decline
to meet their rate. There was a mail profit in
hauling dressed beef, but it is now lost through
the foolish movement Of an overanxious-for
business st. LOUIS line agent. Ii this
method of doing business is to be continued the
question what will the end be is becoming a
serious one.

A Receiver i'm a Dilemma.

In Oregon the Legislature has passed an act to
regulate freight and passenger charges, which
seriously reduces the rates on the traffic of roads,
some of which were hardly paying expenses be-
fore. One of them, the Oregon & California. is in
the hands of a receiver, who, finding himself in
a quandary, has applied to the courts for a de-
cision as to what he shall do. If he obeys the
law, the road cannot possibly earn its operating
expenses, and some provision must be made for
he disobeys it, how shall he escape the penaltya
The new law provides that passenger rates shall
not be mole than 4 cents a mile. On the Oregon
& California three sets of rates had been in effect:
Al cent per mile between Portland and Albany,
6 cents between Albany and Roseburg, and 8
cents between Roseburg and Ashland. The
freight rates are not affected, as the law provides
only that they shall not be higher than they
were Jan. / 1885

who Will, Re Named Next?

The position of receiver of the West Shore
road still goes begging. New York papers say
that it has been offered to George Blanchard,
late first vice president of the Erie, while Phila-
delphia papers say A. j. Cassatt will probably
take the receivership of West Shore. Mr.. Cas-
satt has heretofore declined to entertain propo-
sitions of this tenor, but it was said yesterday
that he was now holding the matter under ad-
yisement, and under certain conditions might
accept. If there is any truth in the report it is
of first Importance. since it means no less than
the end Of war. Mr.. Cassatt certainly would
not consider any proposition to take charge of
West Shore unless he could see his way to extri-
cate the concern from it's present desperate po-
%sition, and the sine qua non first presenting
itself before a preliminary step could be taken
would be a solid assurance that the fighting
should cease.

Somebody's Child.

Overloaded with Fixed Charges.

The lines operated by the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company west of Pittsburg show a loss of
over 500, 900 for the past year. This is a mat
ter of interest to the people of Pennsylvania"
says the Philadelphia Record. cit is one of the
bills they have to foot" Will the Record please
state what the Pennsylvania main line would
do without these feedersa Then, again, had not
the parent road loaded down their Western lines
with a bonded debt, most of which bonds the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company own, would
these lines be operated at a lossg Then it should
be borne in mind that much of this deficit is rep
resented in valuable improvements to the prop
erty.

The Sore Spot with the New York Central.

the recent meeting of the trunk presidents,
says: In one sense, the meeting of railroad
managers was a consultation of physicians. con-
vened to make o diagnosis of the case. and, if
possible, TO find a remedy. The first point to be
settled is to fix upon the seat of the disorder and
TO ascertain the cause of irritation. What that
is the financial community Is already pretty well
convinced. The sore spot is New York Central.
and the goad that prieks the Central is West
Shore. There is where the trouble resides. and
if the doctors in their assembled wisdom address
thsir attention TO that source of febrile disturb

disease is durable or not. 1t has been said that

Fatal Flames at the Forest City.

CLEVELAND, o., May 16.-At II last
night fire broke out in Ben Rose's four
story business block. AZ. A and 46
Ontario-st. In the third story of the
block lived Fred Roth, his wife, child
and servant, an unknown man and lit
tie nephew, Mrs. Harriet Smith and
Mrs. Sawyer. The flames spread so
rapidly that the only way of escape
was to leap from the third story
windows to the ground, 35 feet below.
All made the leap except Mrs. Sawyer,
who was so years old, and the little
two-year-old nephew of the unknown
man. They were burned to death.
OF the Others who jumped, Mrs. Roth
was fatally injured. The baby which
she had clasped to her breast was
uninjured. Mr.,Roth was badly burned
on his hand. The hired girl strained
her back. The unknown man broke
his back and both legs and will die.
The money loss by the fire was $4,000.

OhiO's Contribution

The statue of Garfield, which arrived
in Washington a few days ago from
Rome, and which has been unlocked.
represents the murdered president
standing with his right hand crossed
against his breast and his left resting
upon dwarfed desk or lectern covered
with books. The pedestal presents more
detail than is noticeable in the other
pedestals In the hall, and a prominent
feature of it will be bronze representa-
tions ola wreath and branches of palm.
These will be placed diagonally across
the pedestal. They have not yet ar
rived, and letter from Charles H.
Niehaus, which accompanied the
statue, stated that a slight accident had
occurred to the bronze wreath which
would delay its shipment for few
weeks. The statue is contributed by
the State of Ohio to the statuary hall
in the capitol. The site selected for it
is on the southern side of the hall di-
rectly in front of the first column on
the left of the corridor as one proceeds
to the House of Representatives. The
face, which is said to be an excellent
likeness, will be toward the Senate.
This is the most commanding and
prominent position in the hall. Moth
ing will be done towards put
ting the statue in place until the mis-
sing portions arrive or until directions
are received from Governor Hoadly.
The presentation to the United States
will probably be with some ceremony,
including a eulogy of President Gar
field Plain Dealer.

EXCEEDINGLY WORLDLY.


XENlA, o., May 13.-Quite commo-
ton was caused in the ranks of the Sal
walton Army here to-day, when it was
discovered that one of the members
had been caught stealing money from
the house of a lady who had taken an
interest in the soldiers. On Monday
the officers of the army Were invited to
the house of Mrs. Caddy to supper,
and among them was girl named
Maggie Lewis, of Youngstown, O., who
has been engaged in the work here
ever since the establishment of the
army. While the attention of the
ladies was directed to another part of
the house. Miss Lewis slipped into the
bedroom of Mrs. Eugene Mcfarland,
Mrs. Caddy's daughter, and pocketed
two silver dollars and some other arti-
cles of value. The dollars had mono
grams OH one side of them, and by this
means were easily identified.
When Mrs. Mcfarland discovered
her loss she reported the matter to the
captain of the army here, as she valued
the dollars highly as keepsakes. Sus-
picion fell upon Salvationist Lewis,
and search of her trunk disclosed Il
two dollars of her daddies. The cap
tain and other officers OF the army were
thunderstruck, and the offender was
summarily c0urt-martialed, and sent to
her home at Youngstown. ~
In connection with this escapade the
janitor of the Xenia opera house tells
that one night while the army was
holding services in that building he de-
tected the same girl and another female

.FRIGHTFUL COLLISION.
Little Girl i'm North Baltimore
Dashed to Death.

NORTH. BALTIMORE, o., May 49,
One of ofthemost theart-rending accidents
that ever occurred in this part of Wood
county occurred at this place Saturday
afternoon. A special train on the B. &
O., which was taking theatrical troupe
from Chicago to Baltimore, ran into a
hand-ear which was occupied by J. G..
H0ot, of Tiffin, and a little five-year-
old daughter of ID. c. Horton. of this
place. The train and hand-car were
both going the same direction, and Mr..
Ho0t did not discover the train, which
was running at the rate of mile a
minute, until it was close up behind
him. He jumped from the hand-car,
grabbing for the child as he jumped,
but missed her. The train struck the
car, throwing it and the child offinto
the ditch. The ,child's head was
mashed SO badly that it died all hour
after. The train ran half mile and
stopped, but did not back up to see
what it had done.
The B. Il O. officials ordered all trains
off the track in order to give the special
chance to see what time it could
make. 1t ran from Garrett to this
place-7s miles-in IS minutes.

test was as follows: Snowden,s 1166;
Boyst, 114S; Maddocks, 1106; Schock,

We're 1900 people present, and this is
only poor crowd, considering it was
the last night, and that the men were
far ahead fthe record.
The champion belt was clasped
around Snowden's waist by the referee,
who performed the act without a word
of cohgratulation. It resembled a
funeral more than an athletic event.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock the race ended
and the spectators filed slowly out.

venture.
