him by the throat, and Wagner had him
by the pants, with Dorsey at his back,
they took his watch, mittens and cap,
and then threw him out of the car
Wagner said to him, give up your
money, as you have but two minutes to
live = the large outside doors were open
on both sides Of the car; it was in the
center of the car that the fight took
place he held on to the side of the
door and shouted for help all he re-
membered after that ne struck the

pawn his watch he then Started for
a grocery store near the bridge, and
the defendants followed him he then
went to the cars ; he had no money to

When the B. & 0. decided to make
lower rates than ever before for any in
auguration, it did so in the full convic-
ton that such concessions to the public
at such times should be complete and
without any reservations whatever. On
other lines ii would seem that certain
trains are considered entirely too good
for the average Washington passenger,
and that reduction in rates means SIM
ply that slow train time can be had at a
less figure than usual, but for first-class
and modern time the old rule of not
only the regular fare, but doubled, should
be exacted. In other words, on the B.
& Q. every train, both limited and others,
is opened for the convenience and COM
fort for Inauguration passengers, no extra
charges being made OF any description,
and no attempt made at exclusiveness.
On other lines Inauguration tickets are
not good on limited trains, and the re-
duction of rates is not considered to
apply to them. These facts it will be
advisable to remember when the time
for the purchase of tickets comes.

born in Woodbury., Connecticut, July
ed, Is %; her father and family moved

King. She came with her husband to

Here Mr.. King engaged in the mercan-
tile trade, and other business interess,
and died some twenty-five years ago.
Mrs. King was lady ofgreat amiability
and esteemed by all who knew her for
her many good qualities. Her vacancy
in Kenosha society is not easily supplied
with one of equal merit. She was a
consistent and devoted member of the
Episcopal church. She leaves family
of one daughter and two sons, all I'M
married, who will be the heirs of re
spectacle property.
The funeral of Mrs. King was observed
at the late residence on Monday last
Rev. S. ]. French, rector of st. Matthews
church, officiating. The large attend
ance of citizens at her funeral was evi.
dence of the high regard in which she
was held in the community.

The B. & 0. is the only line in the
world running limited express trains
without extra charge, and the only line
making " limited" time without making
its patrons pay the more for it. Taking
out small stops, Strengthening many
curves, laying the heaviest of steel rail,
and ballasting with rock and improving
the whole line most thoroughly, has en-
abled the B. & 0. to beat the best on fast
time without in the slightest increasing
the ratio of danger.

JUDGE VAN WYcKs LECTURE.

JUDGE VAN W 1CA y LEC1 OhE'
Judge Van Wyck, at the request of
many citizens, delivered his lecture on
Rome, the Eternal City," on Thursday
evening of last week. The lecture was
given in this city several years ago, and
the favor with which it was received
led to the desire to listen to it again.
The Judge drew highly appreciative
audience, which was as large as could
be reasonably expected, in view of the
fact that public lectures are much less
popular than twenty-five years ago.
The interest in classic Rome has not
diminished during the lapse of CEN
turtles it will continue through coming
ages. The statesman and the orator
will dwell on its wondrous history, and
draw from it lessons of instruction. The
lecture was rich in description, and
presented almost as vivid a panorama of
Rome as if painted, on canvas. The
Judge well deserved the many compli-
ments he received from those who heard
him lecture.

The B. & 0. is, in CIV cry essential, an
American road, ever viewing the proper
functions of an American railway to be
to give the most for the least money.
In other words, the affactation of exclu-
siveness is not q valid excuse for doubling
demands in the shape of extra fares, and
that sort of thing. To 60 to the inaugu-
ration via the B. & o. means to have
money enough left to pay expenses, and
a little more. Also. that the passenger
upon arrival at the depot in time for any
train, will find his ticket good for thai
train. Upon some other roads it viii be
found different.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1885-02-27

The Baltimore & Ohio does not say,
as do some other lines, "Your ticket,
sir, is only good on such and such a
train without paying extra :" that is, 60
down into your pocket again, or take a
slow train. On the B. & 0. the famous
limited trains are at the service of its
patrons, one and all, and the advantage
of making from one to six hours quicker
time to Washington than by the limiteds
of any other lines is secured and don't
cost penny over and above the regular
round-trip rate, at which the Inaugural
ton tickets are sold.

1t makes a good deal of difference
which road to Washington the visitor to
the Inauguration buys tickets for. He
may make every arrangement to 60
upon a certain train, and upon arrival
at the depot discovers that his ticket ~
not good ON that train. He may find
more, and that is, not only full fare will
be exacted, but an extra charge, which
must be paid, or wait for a train on
which Inauguration tickets will be taken.
On the B. & 0. there is none OF this sort
of business.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1885-02-27

The trnth is always the best in the
long run, and the fact is that veracity
as the B. & o. has ever found, is like
honesty, very much the best policy. Ii
some of the big-talking lines would make
Inauguration rates good on all trains,
and not make low rates apply only to
cheap trains, the public would believe
more in them. Fact
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1885-02-27

When the B. & O. makes a reduced
rate, less for the Inauguration in many
instances than one fare for the round
trip, it throws open the entire lire with
every train included in its schedule to
its patrons, not as on some other lines,
declaring passengers from fast trains,
and enacting not only full, but double
fares. In other words, those who buy
their tickets for Washington via the Bal
timore and Ohio road get the very best
the Company has in the shop" as the
saying goes, for the reduced rates.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1885-02-27

The fact that The only other line
from the West m, lst reach Washington
by circuitous route, and that all its
passenger traffic from the North and
East must combine with all its western
traffic on the last forty odd miles into
the national capt.; IL. is the strongest of
arguments in tav or of the B. & o.,
which enters w ashington from the
West by one divis ion, and enters from
the North and East by another.
Those who want to get into Washing
ton will go by the b. & o. and be as
sured of remaining in the cars until
they reach the city.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1885-02-27

When one takes into consideration the
saving of hours Of valuable time and the
consequent lesser expense in attending
the Inauguration via the B. & O., it
would need some pretty strong induce
ment to create desire to go to the
National Capital by any other line.
Leaving st. Louis in the morning,
Cincinnati in the evening, Washington
is reached the next day at one o'clock,
six hours in advance of the fastest trains
on other lines.

for the trip to the National Capital at

the only line upon which passengers
can exercise the good old American right
of going as they please. All the B. & o.
trains run through solid, there being no
