" " " During the fiscal year we have laid 1903
tons of new steel rails (about seventeen miles),
fastenings: This amount, however, has been
credited with sos $50 Sc, proceeds from sale of old
rails, which leaves net cost of s3l 10 As %chargea-
Bile to account of new rails. We have now about
sixty six miles laid with steel and about thirty
four miles yet to be renewed.
We have purchased 1908 cross-ties, costing
about 351a cents each, 300 of which were burned
near Pope Station. and 200 near Harrison: in No
vember last, by incendiaries. Every effort was
made to discover the guilty parties, but without
avail. Thirty-six thousand seven hundred and
thirty-two ties have been laid in track, the bal
ance are on hand:
We have erected a new four-span $50 feet tri-
angular iron truss bridge over Tallahatchie river
at a cost of S3l, 252 40. and have renewed about
5000 feet OF trestle bridging, besides ordinary re-
pairs TO other bridges and tresties.

snce Of decrease s26,4iS.52l IN revenue is IN local

pared with the previous year. By examination
Of the table you will see that the revenue from
stations south of Coldwater was very greatly re-
duced.
It is proper to state in this connection that it
has been the custom Of this road to credit through
freight earnings with revenue derived from
through freights originating or terminating at
Central Railroad ar d beyond, and Italics were
made up on this basis.

rscApr or MARSHAL pAzA1Nr.

The Manner In which tho Man Of Metz Got
4 Oh. Of Psisen.
TAEauibi Hlsory Of EapIana II
The escape Of the fat man Of Metz from
his prison d1lthe Isle Of ST. Marguerite
was arranged entirely by the Marshal, his
wife, and his nephew, Alvarez de Ruell.
Madame Bazaine had hired a steamer for
a pretended pleasure trip at Genoa, and,
leaving her at anchor in Jeuan Bay. she
had started for the island Of st. Marguerite,
with her devoted nephew, in an open
boat, across the stormy sea. Meanwhile
the Marshal, who had been forewarned Of
his wife's design, had managed to elude his
iailers and to secure q rope, one end OF
which he attached to two iron bars placed
crosswise in an old gutter which car
ried OF the rain water from the
rock; the other hung down into the dark
ness. He then began the descent, some
eighty feet down the face OF the preciplce,
with the danger OF being dashed against
projecting cliffs or falling into the sea.
Halfway down he, rested by means OF q
hook which was attached TO his belt, and
lit q match, which signal was answered by
a feeble light beneath him. Arrived at
the end Of the rope, tho marshal, all bleed
ing and exhausted as he was, threw him
self into the sea and swan to the boat,
into which he was lifted with great dit.
ticulty. They reached the steamer about
one In the morning, and the Marshal was
forthwith introduced tothe captain as o
valet whom madame had engaged. In
due course OF time they landed at Genoa,
and proceeded thence 70 Germany.

Paris DiIpdleh TO LOndOn Telegraph
A dramatic incident occurred last night
in dancing saloon Mt La Chapetie. One
OF the dancers was suddenly seen to rush

out frantically to one of the municipal
guards posted at the entrance: ARREST

seemed more like maniac than rational

ever. reiterated his appeal, and was imme-
diately handed over to the police, who
took him 10 the adjacent station. Here
he told the inspector that yesterday, after
an alteration with bis wife and her moth
or. he stabbed the two women to death
with a knife. He at once fled from tho
scene Of butchery, and, after wandering
about the suburban streets aimlessly for
some moments, plunged into the midst OF

A Now Temperance Movement.

The friends OF temperance who had no
sympathy with the candidacy Of st. John
IN the recent campaign have for some
time been agitating new organization OF
the work. They seem to realize that
great injury was done their cause by the
determined fight that was made by the
Ex-Governor Of Kansas, whose real OBJ
iect was SO thinly disguised under the
cloak of the moral reform whose princl'
ples he claimed to be devotedto. Theysee
now that it was very inopportune time
for their cause to gain strength; on the
contrary they admit with regret that II
has been set back.
With the lessons of the campaign before
them the originators of this new departure
have formed in Boston what is called "The
National League (non.sectarian and nom
parttsan) for Suppression of the Liquor
Traffic" The movementhas been epttrom
thepress until recently. Amonsthe names
Of the supporters Of this scheme is that OF
Rev. George L. Hite, OF this city.
The constitution adopted by the League
after setting forth its belief in the evils OIL
intoxicating liquors states that it is the
right and duty Of the State to legislate
against the traffic in alcoholic beverages
and to enforce laws duly enacted, and that
good results have always followed wise
lepislation,when faithfully enforced.
In regard to political utilization the
constitution says that the League believes
that the temperance cat,se should avail
itselfof the advantages OF Legislative and
civil action, secured by legitimate politt'
chi effort; but they nevertheless believe
that partisan political aalliationsshouldbe
avoided as expensive, dangerous, and
often disastrous modes OF moral agitation
and education.
The objects OF the new association are
First, the enforcement Of laws against the
liquor traffic; second, the withdrawal Of
legal sanction from the liquor traffic; third,
the suppression of the liquor traffic;
fourth, their ultimate purpose is, by con
stitutional and statutory provisions, to
Danish the liquor traffic from the land.
Discarding partisan cntanglements the
methods OF the League to recover the lost
ground are, FIRST, to create and intensity
public sentiment, by the pulpit, the plat
form and the press; second, to educate the
young, in the public schools and else
where, as to the nature and effects OF al
coholic liquors; third, to use oil legitl-
mate civil legislation, and to refer the
question for final decision to the constitu-
tional verdict of the people. To this end
they invite persons of all classes, creeds,
parties and States to unite on this plat
form, and work and vote against the
liquor traffic without exposing the cause
with its varied interests to the schemes OF
personal politicians and the perils of party
politics.

THAT LAssIE OF MINE.

Well-this is perplexingi There really must
be
Some limit to human forbearance, see;
haven't necktie-not one-to put on
tbs easy work guessing where they may be
gone; -
They're turned into sashes and tied in bow
To beautify five or six dollies or so,
And must confess that strongly incline
To scold her-that saucy, wee lassie of mine!
A sleeve button? That has gone into her
pocket,
To make for a waxen-faced darling a locket;
She's cushioned slipper with one of my
socks,
And sings like a bird while her dolly she
rocks;
She's scattered cigars on the floor far and
wide
She wanted the box for her kittens to ride,
Yes, yes-such indulgence is all very fine,
But she sadly needs training-that lassie of
mine!
viii you look at those Observation-Disclosures
one and all
Marked over with burns from f1atiron
small;
She irons them for me, and then, for a
change,
She borrows my shoe-brush to polish the
My meerschaums are soaking in suds, well 1
know
She took them this morning some bubbles to
And how she did laugh as they'd sparkle and
shine
That blthe, little, nerry-faced lassie of mine!
But she must be leaving such babyfsh WAYS;
III talk TO her sternly-my finger III raise
In warning that she shall forever forbear
10 NEEDLE with things desire to wear;
Likewise, that she really must strive to be-
have
In manner more ladylike, sober and grave;
In short, must teach her by rule and by
line
That frolicsome romp of lassie of mine!
With shout and rush and laugh and q
song
The dght-footed fairy comes tripping along,
With beaming blue eyes, and with bright,
flying Curls,
With lovingest prattle-my girl of all girls!
DID any one whisper, or even suggest,
That all she may do is not sweetest and best?
Not |! There is nothing too precious or fine
For this blessed mite of a lass of mine!
