were in 1883 the gross earnings in 1884
would have been $50, $40, 468 more than
they actually were-a result suggestive
of the cost of rate wars and violations of
agreements. The table OF equipment
shows a grand total in the United States
Of 2s,6S7 locomotives, 1893 passenger
cars, OBI baggage, mail and express
cars, and 7GS,359 freight cars OF all kinds.
There Is on an average one engine to every

About 30 per cent. OF the increase in
mileage Of the past year is found in the
Western States, though the highest rate
Of increase, compared with the mileage
already existing, was in the Southern
group. The rates Of increase by geo.
graphical sections were as follows:
Southern States J.5 per cent, Pacific
states 40 per cent, Western States %

exhibit a decreased mileage, while Penn

greatest gains.

A run of IDS miles, from San Antonio
to Laredo, Texas, over the international
and Great Northern Road, was recently
made by Vice-President Hoxie in 1856
minutes. The Galveston NeUS saws that
this is the fastest run ever made in Texas.
Work on the new railroad from Jesup
to Jacksonville so far does not amount to
much, being only so much as is legally
necessary to prevent the running out OF
the charter. AS soon rs all arrangements
are completed, 1t is stated that a full
force will be put on aud the work ahead.
A railway is being built from SANTANA
BAY TO Santiago de los Caballeros, in the
island of San Domingo. OF the total s.
miles 40 are now graded, and it is expect
ed to have 90 miles in operation by next
spring. The road runs along the Yuma
river, up the valley of La Vega Real, and
will be the first on the island.

FOUND UNDER GUTTER PLATE.
Three Young Negro Lads Hauled Out of
a Sewer Opening on Jones Street.

Early Sunday morning the attention of
one of the mounted policemen was at
t.acted by mysterious noise at the cor
ner of Whitaker and Jones streets. The
officer dlsmounted and listened, but for a
few minutes could not tell what
it was. 1t sounded very much
like some person or more than
one snoring, and he looked around for a
drunk. Finally he stopped down and
listened under the gutter plate in Jones
street. Then he reached under, caught
hold of an arm and pulled an S-year-old
negro boy out. Another pull brought out
a second boy. They said that there was
still one more under the plate,
but he had been awakened and crept
back out of reach. After some cOaxing
and threats he was induced to come out,
and the three were taken to the barracks
and given lodging for the rest of the night,
the next day and last night. All three
were black and have probably run away
from home. The Mayor will dispose Of
them this morning,

close on to Augusta. Atlanta played next

terestiDg-No Change Since Last Week.
The race for the pennant in the South
ern League is growing interesting. Last
week did not change the position of the
leaders, although Atlanta won one game
more than Nashville and Augusta. Co
lumbus has gone up to fourth place,
taking advantage Of eight straight games
with Birmingham. Macon will have an
easy time this week with Birmingham,
and will probably resume her fourth
place. Columbus will fight Augusta for
third place this week. The two clubs
have always played close games. Atlanta
has hard road to travel the next ten
days, and if the visiting clubs get fair
play, Atlanta will be in luck If she wins
three out Of nine games with Memphis,
Nashville and Augusta.
