REPORTS from over the State show the
floods to have been unusually severe.
Buildings have been swept away, great
quantities of lumber lying along the river
banks have been lost and other property
has been destroyed. Some Of these points
suffered greatly from the food q few years
ago, and had now just about recovered
from their losses. The repetition ofsuch a
misfortune at present will fall very heavily
upon the people and it viii be good
while before many Of them can recover
from their losses.

SEVERAL hundred farmers are reported
to have left Pennsylvania for Dakota with,
in the past week. One cause assigned for
this is the discrimination in railroad
freights. The western farmers can raise
grain cheaper than those of the East and
can ship TO eastern msrtes, 9 distance Of
1000 miles or more, almost as cheap as
the farmer living q few hundred miles
from market. Hence farmers of the East
are unable to compete pro6tsbly and are
turning their faces westward. The people
of West Virginia know to their sorrow what
railroad discrimination means.

RAILWAY MILEAGE.

The current number of the Railway
Age, commenting on the railway mileage
of the United States, says:
The railway construction during 1885
amounted to 3,19OI6 miles of main line,
making the aggregate mileage in the
United States az the commencement of
1885 1913 500 miles. III we add to this the
track already laid since that date, the
total railway mileage of the United States
on May / appears to have been 129, 235
miles.
Looking at the record of States sepa-
rately, we find that on Jan. Illinois still
continued to lead the country In extent of
railway lines, having then no less than
1905 miles OF main lines within her bor-
ders. Next comes Pennsylvania with
7,72l14, or 1924 miles less than Illinois (;
Iowa follows third, with 1858 miles; New
York is fourth, with 1872 miles; Ohio
fith, With 1915 miles; Texas sixth, with
GAPS miles; Indiana seventh, with 1859
miles; Michigan eighth, with 1864 miles;
Missouri ninth, with 4,97S miles; Kansas
! tenth, with 4,490 miles; Wisconsin elev.
| enth, with 4, AIS miiesg Minnesota twelfth,
with 4, 1873 miles. None Of the other States
reach 1000 miles, and only three others
have more than 1900 miles. Little Rhode
Island naturally stands at the foot OF the
| list with 2l1 miles; the District OF Column
! bia, of course, not ranking either as a
| State or Territory.
| The rapid forward strides which several
| of the Western and few of the Southern
! States are making in railway mileage
| and consequently in population and
/ wealth are very impressive. Thus Florida
! built more railway track last year than
any other state, adding $50 miles; Kan
sas came next with 2S5. Missouri next
With 26S, Texas with 221, Nebraska with
/ 2l4. and so on. In all New England only
/ 1871 miles of track were added during the
/ year, and in the great Middle States, in.
Guiding New York and Pennsylvania { in
which latter lI5 miles were laid) the 2.
| gregate OF new lines was only 1903 miles
while in the seventeen Western States
/ 1873 miles of track were added.

DECIDED TO BE GAMBLING.
Margins Under the Pennsylvania
Lava Courts Decision.

Lava Courts Decision
ANNAPOLIS, May 16.-The Court of
Appeals delivered an interesting decision
Saturday, Judge Richie handing down
the written opinion. The case was that
OF Stewart vs.. Schail, Danner g. Sperry.
Both parties resided in York, Pa.--Stew-
art lawyer by profession, aud the Sc call,
banner & Sperry brokers. Stew arr in
vested Sl,700 in the firm to buy IN mar
gins or him, and 20 pay him the alsnce
In his favor. The negotiations were
carried on in Philadelphia, Balti-
more and New York. In deal
iugs in Philadelphia one per
sent. commission was allowed the
irm, and in the other two cities ten per
cent. Stewart was to keep up the mar
gins. In course of time, alter transactions
amounting to 100000 had occurred,
Stewart failed TO keep up the margins,
and bis stocks were sold TO make up the
balance due the tirm, and he was sued for
the remainder Of the commissions. He
resisted, on the ground that under the law
OF Pennsylvania the transactions were
gambling transactions and void: that no
stocks nor wheat were ever intend
ed, nor were any ever delivered. AS
to the laws Of the contract between
the parties, says the court, the
jury should have been given the
law Of Pennsylvania, as comprised IN the
decisions OF that State bearing on wager
ing contracts within its limits. The Court
OF Appeals concludes that ii the jury lind
that no stocks or wheat were delivered,
and the transactions were simply on mar
gins, they were gambling transactions
and VOID. Judgment reversed and new
trial awarded. This case was tried in
Maryland, because process was serve d on
Stewart whilst il this State; and, al
though the merits of the cause were de-
cided according to the spirit OF the Penn
syIvania law, the Implication is that the
decision will apply to Maryland.
