A SAD ACCIDENT.
Henry Barley A Well known and
Popular Railroad Engineer
Meets His Death

AT about 9p. M, last night, tues
day. Henry Barley, one of the oldest
and most popular engineers of the ".
s. & P. R. r., met with a shocking
and fatal accident. The facts OF the
distressing accident cleaned from an
eyewitness are these:
Engine No. 3O1 left the round house
at about 8 o'clock, Mr.. Barkley being
the engineer in charge. Mr.. Barley
was told by the negro brakesman to
come to the old depot; when up to the
old freight depot the negro could not
make the couplings connect and Mr..
Barley came to his assistance. While
he had the coupling pin and was in
the act Of coupling the cars, another
engine on the same track backed up
and ran into his (Barkley's) train, and
forced Barkley's train against him and
he was thus mashed between the cars.
He lived in intense agony tor about
half an hour after the accident. MI.
Barley was one of the oldest as we'll
as most popular railroad men here
abouts and had been in the employ Of
the V. s. & p. r. r. since 1870. He
was universally esteemed by all and
was man who was possessed of many
admirable traits of character which
were always turned to good advantage.
Mr.. Barkley was unmarried, was a
native of South Carolina and aged
about So years.

Some Of our citizens, we regret to
say, will persist in dumping their re-
fuse matter into the streets, instead OF
placing 1t in boxes or ssme other recep-
tacle and place it on the side walk,
where the City cart, could, as we'll as
would, remove it each day. This
looks bad and besides is offensive, and
we are requested to ask all Of our
citizens of family, to hereafter put all
of their refuse into box; place it in b
convenient place on the sidewalk
where the "dump cart" can convent.
emily reach it or burn ii. We hope
that this request and suggestion will be
needed, and that in the future our
City will be noted for its cleanliness as
well as for its healthfulness, which
latter has gained for it an exceedingly
commendable reputation.

The Turf.

The race which Is to take place Sat-

considerable interest among lovers of
the turf. Winn's Texas mare, Jennie,

the race for $3.50 aside; the distance
400 yards. Betting appears to be about
even, but the friends of the little Tex.

Making = Dangerous Arrest.
fNeW York Times,l


When Patrolman Mahoney, Of the
Sixth precinct, reached the end OF his
post at the junction Of the Bowery and
Chatham Square at 4:45 yesterday
morning he noticed an object in white
moving about with the agility OF a
cat on the trestle-work Of the ele-
waited railroad ut Division street
and the Bowery. When the Of
ficer approached near enough to make
out the figure he discovered q young
man clothed only in his white shirt and
trousers, who was apparently endeavor-
ing to hide in the railroad trestle. At
the foot of one of the pillars were his
coat, hat, and shoes. The officer
shouted to the man to come down, but
was answered by derisive laugh.
When the officer made a feint of
climbing the pillar the maniac-for such
he evidently was-would run along I'M
der the trestle beneath the track as
nimbly as monkey. Officers Brogan,
McManus, and Northrup gathered at
the scene, and they were Joined by a
crowd of belated idlers. Many devices
were made use Of to tempt the insane
man from his lofty and dangerous perch,
but without avail. AS soon as the
crowd would withdraw he would
descend to nearly the foot Of the pillar,
but when a rush was made for him he
scrambled up quickly out Of the reach
Of his pursuers. Finally all the crowd
scattered, and Patrolmen Mahoney and
Brogan went to the Chatham-Square sta
ton and thence walked down the track
to the spot beneath which the lunatic
was sitting astride the trestlework,
erinning and jabbering like an ape.
Then the officers below made rush
for him, and as he ran along to get out
of the way Of the crowd below the Off

dragged him out on to the track. lie re-

several Questions.

A subscriber, whom we suspect oil
being q Greenbacker, has sent to us the
following questions'
LEBANON, Va, Dec. IA, 1885.
To the Editor ofth Dispatch:
l. Will you tell your readers how
much greenbacks we have in circulation
and what it costs the Government 10
maintain il in circulation
9. How much national currency have
We in circulation, and what does 1t cost
us annually to keep it in circulation!
3. What interest are the banks al
lowed to loan their money at!
4. What consideration do the banks
give in return for the 80 per cent. OF
credi, granted them by the Government
on every hundred dollars worth OF
United States bonds which they deposit
as basis Of their currency?
The last figures We have before us
are for the year 1884. These figures
are about right, and will serve our cor
respondents purpose.
1. The amount Of greenbacks in cir
culstion in 1884 was s346, 6Sl, 0l6.
The cost Of maintaining that circulation
is SO small q percentage that it may be
left out Of the account altogether.
Q. The amount Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
circulation in 1884 was s332,473,693.
The cost of maintaining this circulation
is very little indeed, unless the interest
paid to the banks by the Government
be included in the cost, and this, OF
course, ought not to be done, seeing
that that interest would have to be paid
to whomsoever might own the bonds
The banks own the bonds, and will gel
the interest whether they are allowed
to issue notes secured by those bonds
or not.
8. The national banks are allowed
to charge the highest rate Of interes
permitted by the laws Of the States il
which they are located.
4. The Government grants no credi
TO the banks. On the contrary, tn
Government locks up in its safe slO'
belonging to the bank and gives tn
bank only 900 to circulate instead O
the 600. The Government holds owe
$500, 100000 Of bonds belonging t
the banks as . security for the 1882
100000 of national-bank notes mer
toned above. The national banks ful
nish an excellent currency.

ALEXANDRIA, VA, December l6.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Virginia Midland railroad was
held at the Office Of the company in this
city to-day at noon-J. S. Barbour in
the chair. President Buford read his
report, showing the earnings of the
road to have been 81 ,554, 375 operating
expenses and taxes, s990,432; net
earnings, s563,949; fixed charges,
1923, 759; surplus, $40, 1874; con-
struction and equipment, $50, S35; in
terest accrued on income bonds, S2l9,-
lis; deficit over all, sl69,320 The
earnings show a decrease over last year
of Ell ,454; the expenses show de-
crease of 1875. Ratio Of operating
expenses to earnings, G. Clio per cent.
Tons of freight transported, 4lO,759,
compared with 43S,002 for the pre-
vious year.
The report says the almost unexam-
pied failure Of the wheat crop through
out the section of State trsversed by
the road, and the continued inactivity
of mineral traffic, account materially
for the loss Of revenue above indicated.
The prospects at present indicate better
local production for another year, and
consequently improved tariff andrevenue
from that source. The report says, also,
that the condition Of the property has
been greatly improved during the year
by the substitution Of stone ballast fol
sand and dirt, heavy steel rails for old
iron rails, and iron bridges for wooder
bridges. A new iron bridge has beer
built across James river, and clever
new iron bridges are in process of cree
ton in place Of wooden structures
