And How 1t rs Not Done where the
Truly American Right OF Self
Choice is Permitted.
There has been good deal said Of late
about "the fastest trains in the world and
some in interest would have IL appear that
oil the glory in this respect effulgated upon
a single road. Indeed that one line absorb
ing everything there was Is railroad life
worth living for and all the others simply
hanging upon verge Of despair as precari-
Gus as pitiable. Thus the situation, and be-
cause of 1t from the monopoistic standpoint,
the full justification of doubling of rates
and extra charges generally anything but
conducive to popular hilarity these days,
when not only dollars but nickels
count. In accordance with its char
acteristically American way of doing
things the Baltimore & Ohio long
since established as an inviolable principle,
the system of an entire absence of exact
ing extras upon any of its trains, limited
or otherwise. The b. & o. does not be-
lievo in privileged classes, has never been
accused of apeing exclusivoness, or in any
manner whatever made IL appear that there
could BIO good and sufficient grounds for
only doing its best in tho matter of time
and equipment when paid at double rates
therefor. 1t Is thoroughly well satisfied
to run truly representative American
trains, accepting for passage thereon regu-
lar tickets at the regular rates and main
tanning n time schedule absolutely without
parallel, A strong statement in the face
of the loud boasts of competing lines of
running "the fastest trains in tho world"
buta comparison Of schedules from and TO
Washington proves IL beyond cavil.
The Chicago Limited leaving at 10
o. m. reaches destination next morning ut

other road. The Cincinnati Limited leav-
ing at $3.50 p. m. runs through in the won
derful time Of sixteen hours, arriving 7:I5
the succeeding morning, four hours ahead
OF any other limited. The So. Louis Lin
tied is over an hour faster than any other
limited to that city, as is also the Pitts
burg Limited East.bou from all the
cities named, the b. g. o. Limited trains are
equally advantageously run in every in-
stance, making time unequaled by tho
limited train service OF rival lines,
and upon which the practice of max
ing extra charges aud doubling
rates 10 as rgidly adhered to as it
is not on Picturesque B. & o. The equip
ment Of the latter limo is in every way of
the finest, trains running through solid and

please, pay their money and take their
choice, and not as upon other roads run
ming limited trains, compelled whether or
no to take and pay for what may be pro-
vidod by those who know more what the
passenger wants than he does himself.

HIS REVENGE.
A Discarded Lover Charged with
Having POiaOned u Family.

William Ross, a cofored man, was arrested
by Officer Shehsn last night, charged by
Alfred Jackson, colorod with having
poisoned his family. Jackson stated that
Ross had been bestowing his affections on his
sister Martha for some time past. Recently
his father, John Jackson residing on M
street, between Second and Third streets
southwest for good cause ordered Ross to
leave his house and never again enter ii.
Ross became very angry and threatened to
have vengeance on the old man. Not much
attention was given his threats, and Ross,
who lived in the neighborhood, in passing
the house would stop and converse with
Jackson and urge reconciliation.
Ross pleas had little effect on the old
man, who was very staunch and would not
yield. Ross, in passing the house last Sun
day morning, handed the old man bunch
of catfish, already skinned and cleaned,
falling him TO eat heartily of them. Shortly
afterwards the savory smell of the fish in
the fryingpan gave an extra touch TO the
appetites of the family. Nothing but the
bones were left of the bunch Not long
after the fish had been eaten the daughter
was taken sick, and in course of few
hours tho whole family, consisting of five,
were suddenly stricken with sickness.
They have all recovered but the old man ,
who is now unable to leave his bed, being
very i'll. Jackson complains that Ross
poisoned the fish before giving tbem to his
father. Tho case was called in the Police
Court to-day, but went over indefinitely on
81 .000 bail, the witnesses being too sick to
appear in court.

Charles o. Moore, hoary- headed officer
of the Love and Charity Society, was con-
victed in the Police Court this morning for
stabbing brother in the lodge-room. John
W. Reed stated that on the 10th of last
month the old man took him to task for
making some derogatory remarks about him
at a previous meeting He denied it and
the accused called him a dirty liar. He
cautioned him that if he repeated the cpl
tibet, he--the witness-would knock him
down. The remark was repeated and wit
ness retoIted, when the old man stabbed him
in the abdomen with knife, combining
him to his bed for fourteen days. The old
man stated that the question of his speak
ing to Reed about the latter's talking about
him came up incidentally during the meet
ing. He acknowledged using the offensive
language and also the knife. His Honor
imposed a fine of $40
