Miscellaneous Notes,

Since Kansas City has been granted equal
freight rates with Omaha by the Union Pacific,
it aspires to secure a considerable part of the
cattle trade heretofore going to the latter place.
Concerning Erie, the story now is that nego-
tiations are in progress with Nickel Plate,
looking to a through line to Chicago. in opposi"
ton to the Jewett interest in the Chicago 81 At
lantic.
1t is quite probable that tho Illinois Midland
road will be sold Aug. 81, as the parties who
asked for a postponement of the sale have not
filed the bond of $75, 900 required, and to-day is
the last day in which it can be done.
The Ellsworth, Mcpherson, Newton & South
eastern railway gives notice that the line is now
open and ready for business from Ell Dorado to
Newton, connection being made at Ell Dorado
with the st. Louis, Fort Scott g. Wichita road.
The Pullman Palace Car Company and the
Central Transportation Company are carrying
on a war in the courts. While this contest RACES
the general public will occupy the relation. to it
which the Kentucky dame did to the fight be-
tween her husband and the bear.
1t is among the possibilities growing out OF
recent railroad combinations that the New York
& New England may again come to the front as
a through line" and with far greater advan-
tages than ever before, as the new conditions
make the New York g. New England almost a
necessity to the Erie road.
The Philadelphia Press says: ''There are
some signs of a contest for the control of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company at Septem-
Der election on the part Of Mr.. Gould, and some
recent buying is attributed to him. Also prob
able that Oregon lease will be an issue at meet
ing" 1t will be unfortunate for this property
should the blighting hand of Jay Gould reach
out for it.
1t is stated on good authority that the Reading
railroad interests are likely to be cared for after
the Pennsylvania Vanderbilt deal has been
formulated and closed. Insiders say, lone thing
at a time" So far as can be learned in a semi
official way, the object of the present great
railroad movement is to secure harmony among
and with all interests, of which West Shore,
Central and Pennsylvania is ouly the commence
ment.
1t is a favorable omen that the president of
the New York Central has notified Grand Trunk
that under the new arrangement West Shore
will afford to Grand Trunk every facility which
it has hitherto enjoyed. He also states that
while rates will be advanced to fair figures there
will be no attempt to punish anybody, but every
effort will be made to make the new arrange
ment popular with the public.

Less UnfavOrable than Commonly Supposed.
The London Economist has an article on rail
way t1affic returns in Great Britain and abroad,
with a table giving earnings and mileage, and
the increase or decrease per cent. as compared
with 1884. The table shows that twenty British
lines, for the half year to June 80, decreased
their earnings f636 900. The increase in mile
age was l.2O per cent, and the decrease in earn
ings 2. 10 per cent. The total French lines from
Jan. l to June "a increased their mileage !. 066,
or 3. 66 per cent, and decreased their earnings
f764, 900, or 3.87 per cent. The total German
lines Excluding Bavarian) from Jan. l to May
81 increased their mileage 9l3. or 9. SO per cent,
and i Increased their earnings f5,0 900, or O3 per
cent. Fifty-six American lines from Jan. l
to May 81 increased their mileage
$50 miles. or 1.56 per cent, and
decreased their earnings 912l, 900, or
0. rs per cent. In regard to the American lines
the Economist says: Turning to the American
lines, it is necessary to remember that in this
case rates are much lower than they were a year
ago, and the fact that the figures given above
do not include the Eastern trunk lines-the
greatest sufferers of all-mus also be taken into
account. Taking, however, the figures as they
stand, comprising as they do about one-third of
the total mileage of the United States, we can
not say that the result is SO bad as might have
been anticipated. The increase in mileage is
about Il per cent, while the receipts have only
fallen eff Z per cent. The result of these consid
erations seems to be that the continental sys-
TENS, as a whole, are certainly not doing better
than the British lines; in one instance-the
French lines-they are distinctly faring worse,
and so far as the United States is concerned, the
figures are less untavorable than is commonly

Long Branch Letter in Chicago Tribune.

Long Branch Letter in Chicago Tribune.
l see Helmbold here, one of the has beens of
Long Branch. He has a short little body and a
big swelled, inharmonious head. with coarse hair
over it. About the time Fisk arrived at Long
Branch, Helmbold arrived and opened a flash
drug store, and had a four-in-hand. and next he
had a race horse, and next he had nothing, not
even his family, while his brother had his drug
store, while the newspapers which had adver-
tised him to the extent of tens of thousands had
his due bills. You see him now, somewhat
quieted and altered, and when his wife walks
with him along the street she takes his arm. 1t
is a question of forgive and forget.

Illinois still leads, with a total of 8, 9O9 miles;
Pennsylvania is second; with 1916 miles; Iowa
is third. with 1910 miles; New York Is fourth,
with 1886 miles; Ohio is fifth, with 1876 miles;
Texas is sixth. with 6, 1913 miles: Indiana is
seventh. with 5,534 miles: Michigan is eighth,
with 5,233 miles. and Missouri is ninth, with
4, 100 miles.
A Considerable Increase in Freight Business.
The train records Of Indianapolis roads show
quite a handsome increase in the number OF
loaded cars received and forwarded at this point
last week, as compared with the movement in
the week ending July %. yet the volume of
business is falling considerably below what it
should be at this particular season of the year.
The corresponding week in 1884 Indianapolis
lines handled IA, 0O5 loaded cars, and business
was then considered light. The last week in
July, 1883, there were l4,966 loaded cars
handled at this point. and in 1882
there were 20. 404 loaded cars handled,
so that it will be seen that the movement of
loaded cars in the week ending Aug. /, 1885, fell
5000 cars below that of the corresponding week
1882. Unquestionably east-bound business is
now at the lowest tonnage it has been at the
corresponding period in the last twelve years.
An improvement Is looked for, however, In the
near future, but no boom in business is antlcl-
pated. In west bound through shipments there
has been a decided improvements the last week,
and it really looks as if it would continue,
although a couple of weeks ahead Of the usual
time when fall business sets In. The bottom
seems to be out of live stock traffic. North and
south roads are doing better, and local business
has improved handsomely; in fact the increased
tonnage of last week is largely in local traffic.

Lost In A Swamp.

On Wednesday of last week Mrs. George W. Rowse, Miss Lillian Briggs and Herbert Rowse of Voluntown went after cowslips. They secured the services of Mrs. Joel Palm CT to pilot them to a swamp five miles away, where that early blossoming succulent plant grows in abundance. As they were about to leave the swamp their guide told them to follow along a small stream near them until they came to certain place which was described, and remain there until she came for them with her team She then went after the team, which had been left considerable distance away. They found it impracticable, however, to keep closs enough to the stream to have it serve them as guide. They strayed from the right course and became bewildered. They were in dismal swamp containing hundreds of acres, and they wandered about in it for 8 long time trying to find the way out. At last they emerged from it's gloomy thickets and came out to road mile or two from the place where they were left by the guide. The road was strange one to them, and they went in the wrong direction toward the viii lage of Oneco. They were finally overtaken by g man who informed them of their where abouts, and who took them into his carriage and brought them home. They arrived aC this place about 10 o'clock at night Their friends here were very much alarmed about them and went in pursuit of fthem.-Norwich Bulletin.
