The Exposition and the Railroads

I The tNpOSltIOu ana the lbailfoluS.
A communication published in the New
Orleans Times Democrat, signed "Caro-
lima suggest a reduction of the passen-
ger rate to and from New Orleans during
the continuance Of tue exposition to one
cent a mile.
The suggestion Is a good one and ought
/ To command the immediate attention of
/ all the railroad managers of the country,
and particularly of the South.
1t is evident that the exposition is not
/ prosperiug financially. 1t is the greatest
and grandest display of the fruits of in
dustry and genius that has ever been
known, and it ought to be seen by mil
] lions of people. The prospect now is that
/ il Will be seen by comparatively few. The
! gate receipts up To the present time have
not averaged $1,000 day.
/ one OF the reasons why the attendance
| has been 50 small was the delay in get
ting the exposition in shape. Everything
/ Is i'm complete order now, however, and
/ the great buildings, which have aston
I is1cd all who have seen them by their
yastness, ought to be crowded every day.
This number Of visitors is steadily in
creasing, and by Feb. l, doubtless, 1t will
be very large. There will be thousands
and tens of thousands, however, who will
remain away altogether unless the rail
roads offer them tIaordinary induce
ments in the way of low fare, because
they cannot afford the expense. Are the
railroads prepared to offer extraordinary
inducements:
or course the trunk lines leading out OF
New Orleans must inaugurate the low
fare movement if it Is inaUgurated at all.
Ii they will lead it is pretty certain that
all the roads of the country Will follow.
VIII not I cent a mile pay the railroads?
Ii will, and pay them well-much better,
in fact, than the present rates. because
they Will carry four or five times as many
passengers as they will carry at the
present rates.
The times are not prosperous. The
feeling of depression that prevails in all
kinds Of business makes people think they
are much poorer than they really are. If
they think they are poor they practice
economy as rigidly as if they were poor.
There isn't. perhaps, person IN the
South who doesn't want to visit the eX-
position. If cheap excursion trains were
run thousands in every State would avail
themselves Of the opportunity of going to
New Orleans who VIII not 20 at all il the
present rates are maintained.
There is no fault to be found with the
railroads. Their rates now are very rea-
sOnabIe: but reasonable as they are, the
railroads are without the business they
expected, and the great fair threatens to
be a financial failure. Would not the rate
proposed NIL the treasures of the rail-
roads and the exposition? We think 1t

the Methodist Episcopal Church last night
gious excitement. fell into a cataleptic
condition. Their restoration to conscious
ness was attended with varied express
sions as to their experience and slghtsee'
ing while in that condition. One young
man is convinced that he can walk upon
the water. The scene Outrivals any mes
meric influence or religious excitement
known in this neighbOrhOOd. Hundreds
are in attendance at every meeting and
the same scenes are enacted, only gaining
in extravaganza. The populace are greatly
excited. A young woman last night, af
ter coming out of trance, said that she
had been in the spirit land, had seen and
conyersed with loved ones, had viewed
the city of the New Jerusalem, looked
upon its streets, gold paved; heard the
angelic choristers chanting the melody o.
heaven. and was sorry that she had to re
turn. Sister Woodwork, the evangelist

Cincinnati is fast acquiring the reputa-
ton OF being the leading city Of America
so far as gambling is concerned. 1t is
said that faro banks and poker dens line
every street, and that there is scarcely a
saloon or cigar shop that has not a game
OF some kind attached. The interest in
stock and grain speculation has greatly
decreased, and the inference seems to be
that many Of the operators have decided
to devote their attention exclusively to
cards. The favOrite game with the rich
is poker: faro comes next in favor, while
workingmen are ieeced by the keno
sharps.

E. John Ellis New Home.

The Washington Post, of Aug.
II, describing the Duddington Ma
nor, purchased by Hon. E, John
Ellis, says:
Ex-Representative E. John Ellis
of Louisiana, has purchased the old
Carroll mansion on Capitol Hill,
with its six acres of ground, for
100000. Daniel Carroll, who died
in lS4s at the age of eighty-fve,
was one Of the original owners of
the land upon which the City of
Washington now stands. His tract
of land, which was known as the
Duddington Manor, extended from
what is now n. street south to L
street on the North and from Third
street West, including the ground
upon which the Capitol building
stands. The house which now
passes into the possession of Mr..
Ellis was the manor house of the
Carroll estate, and is situated at
the intersection of Second street
and South Carolina Avenue south
east. In the early years of the
capitals history this house shared
with the Nan Ness Mansion the
honorable distinction of being the
most notable and most hospitable
family residence in the city. 1t
has two stories and an attic, built
in the Grecian style of architecture
with portico built in front. Stan
ding apart in its own quiet seclu-
sion, with its large rooms on each
side of central hall, set with its
old fashioned furniture, the house
is monument of old times. 1t is
at present the residence of of two
maiden daughters Of the original
founder.

Buried Twenty Years.

mains of a Union soldier twenty
years after he fell has just come to
light. During the war brother of
DR.. Conway, Of this city, enlisted
IN a Pennsylvania regiment and
went to the front. He was engaged
in most of the battles of Virginia,
and finally fell before Lynchburg.
In those days, when the dead al
most equalled the living, he was
buried without being recognized,
anc appeared on the muster roll af-
ter the battle as "missing."
Young Conway, so far as the fam
lily could learn, was seen to fall in
front of a charge against the rebel
breast works, and then all trace of
him was lost. The war passed by
and despite the most careful inqui-
ries no trace of the boy could be
found. Last month DR.. Conway at
tended q national medical conven-
ton in Pennsylvania, and when its
session had closed, extended his
journey into Virginia to search for
the remains of his soldier brother.
After visiting many battlefelds he
finally went to Lynchburg, and
there discovered a man that had
been a member of the same regi-
ment as the deceased, and had seen
him fall. After the battle the man
had been a member of the burial
party. Young Conway had not
been buried in the trenches, but in
a separate ground on a hillock near
by, and which the man said he
thought he could recognize. Ad-
ding him to the searching party the
battle ground was carefully secured
and the long grave discovered. Of
course the flesh had disappeared but
from popularity of the teeth DR..
Conway was fully able to identify
the remains. Among the remnants
Of clothing was found a small vial
tightly corked, inclosing a slip Of
paper on which was written his bro
theirs name. When he went to the
army he told the family that he had
a presentiment that he would not
return alive, and took this precau-
ton to secure the Identification Of
his body. The remains were ex.
humed and reintered in the family
burying ground in Pennsylvania,

Poisonous Can Sealing.

is deadly poison. Ulcers of the
stomach and bowels and even per-
foration is produced by this corro-
sive poisson. 1t is now claimed
that the frightful increase of
Bright's disease can be traced to
the same cause. 1t is utter impos-
slbility to seal can with chloride
of zinc without an appreciate
quantity Of the poison getting into
the can. An experiment was re-
Gently made by the foreman of one
Iof the largest canning establish
ments in the country of soldering
tops on empty cans. The expert
ment was made in the presence OF a
number of eminent physicians and
prominent dealers in canned goods.
And yet in each case when the can
was opened, after all the care the
foreman gave the soldering process,
several drops Of the chloride Of zinc
were found in the bottom. Now,
WREN this poison gets into the can
when all this care is used, what is
the probability when the cans are
sealed as they are in the rush of
buiiness. The public press has
opened a crusade against the dan
gerous method of putting up com
modities which the public need and
must have. a writer in the Brook
Ign Eagle thus describes the pro-
cess of canning in a large estab-
lishment in Baltimore; "a capper
receives ten cents hundred cans
for putting on the caps. He has to
furnish his own tools, Aux and sol
der. Instead of carefully painting
round the can with a marking brush,
the capper has brush as large as
that used by house painter. His
cans are in trays Of a dozen each,
he lays his cap on and with one dab
Of his brush across the top Of the
can the tops Of the whole twelve
are rendered acid ; then the solder
ing iron runs around. The central
hole is not closed. These cans are
then put into an iron crate and low
cred into hot bath, where they
stay from five to twenty minutes,
according to the stuff that is being
processed. The acid left on the
top Of the can is washed off with
this bath, and the bath often be-
comes so acid that the workmen
can solder from the water of the
bath as fux. The longer the
bath is used the dirtier it becomes.
Now, as these goods are lifted from
the bath, this central vent hole is
open, and the can is liable to have
this water of the bath admitted.
Still further is this liability in
creased if there is a leak in the can,
making two holes for air and water
instead one vent" Now, when fu-
sill oil in whisky is known to be a
cause of Bright's disease, is it any
wonder, at the rate canned goods
are consumed in this country, and
each can has an appreciable
amount Of the deadly chloride of
zinc; which attacks the kidneys,
and the consumption of canned
goods and Bright's disease are 60
ing hand and hand in this country
