A Study in Statistios .

An interesting statement was published
a day or two ago concerning the business
OF the Manhattan Elevated railroad, of
New York. In thirteen years the num-
Der of passengers carried annually has in
creased from 644, 025 to 115, 100 ,59l, more
than IFS times, while the gross receipts
have gone up from $64.602 IS to $1,426,
216 %, or about 102 times. To 1877 the
statistics are those OF the New York Ele-
waited only. Those of 1873 are of the New
York Elevated tor the year and the Me-
tropoitan Elevated for four months.
From that time on all the roads
are included. The increase of passen-
gers from 1879 to 1856, the year ending
Sept so, is from 46,045.l8 to 115, los, 591.
The daily average carried last month was
315, 1863. aud the largest number OF passen-
gers ever carried in day was 556, ia, on
June 5, 1856. Only one life has been lost
by a passenger on board the cars, and in
that case death was the result of the pas
senger's own negligence. This is unique
in the history OF railroads. With exist
ing facilities the roads can carry 100000
passengers day.

around, and speculation was various.
The Secretary chatted pleasantly with the
ladies until they reached the President,
when be introduced them by name: LA
dies from Georgia, Mr.. President" the
Secretary said, and then all ears were
bent to catch the names. First came
Mrs. Belo, then Mrs. Banks, then Mrs.
Ross. Mrs. Ross happened TO occupy the
second position. so that as the Secretary
put them the names were transposed.
Mrs. Ross protested. THAT'S not the way
you promised to introduce us. Mr.. Secre-
tary," she said. The Secretary in apol-
ogy said that he always got confused
among ladies'. Then the question vent
around, what kind of an introduction
did the Secretary promise TO give that
ladyW
Since the VirgInians seem to have taken
otfense at the Presidents going to Rich
mond and leaving his wife at home, the
proposition is now afoot that next time
the President will send Mrs. Cleveland
to Richmond and stay at home himself.
1T seems that only the presence OF Mrs.
Cleveland would have been regarded as a
recognition Of the inviting party, ard
that the atte ndance of the President and
Cabinet counts for nothing among the So
cial cas- uists OF the South.
"Well, the rupture between Richmond
and W asbington is not as bad as it might
be-" said one waggish visitor to the White
House yesterday as he gazed at the south
porch.
"HOw's thatW somebody asked.
"Well, | see that the President has not
yet ordered the removal of the Virginia
creeper which clusters luXuriant and
green around the stairway leading to the
southern balcony"

rectors of the entire Queen and Crescent

resignation while Mr.. Schiff was en- route
to New York, and they have since notified
the latter that the new President will be

AT THE WHITE HOUSE,
Some Incidents of Fridays Presi-
Dental Reception.
From ths WasAin1to, Pos,

From the Washington. Post.
An unusual interest attached to the
Presidents afternoon reception in the
East Room of the White House yester-
day. 1t was known that rightly or wrong
ly mary Southern people were offended
because Mrs. Cleveland had not accom-
panied the President to Richmond on
Thursday, and as the afternoon reception
parties are always composed largely OF
Southern people, IL was regarded as
among the possibilities that some enthu-
siast would endeayor TO aYenge the
wounded pride OF "Ole Varginny.V
and sure enough the enthus asst
| came. She WAS tall, hand
some, stately, well-dressed woman of
middle age. She took her place quietly in
the line, and when her time came she ap-
preached the President with dignifed
mien and smiling countenance, aud, Civ
ing her hand gracefully to tho President,
she remarked with calm and deliberate
emphasis: "NeXt to Miss Davis, MIR.
President, it would have given me pleas
uTe TO have seen Mrs. Cleveland at Rich
mond Yesterday" TO which the Presi-
dent replied: ~ am sorry, madam, II YOU
were disappointed" Then the champion
Of "Ole Narginny" passed on to JOIN some
lady friends and, no doubt, to say some-
thug about "sic semper tyrannIs."
Senator Butler Of South Carolina, who
has just returned from Europe, was
among the callers, and after the reception
be waited to talk with the President. A
colored eX-Minister to Liberia presented
a well-dressed, intelligent-looking young
cOlOred man as "A native African who had
never before been away from mis- native
country. The President talked pleasantly
ana quite while with the foreigner,
whom he heartily welcomed to the United
States. had 10 not been Tor the Virginia

the first nine months of the year earned
$209, 466 273, against $191, $4,000, in the
same period of 1885, being net increase
of SIS, 1l6, 264. Fitty-seYen OF these show
an increase, while only II, or only % per
cent. OF the whole number, show de-
crease. In most cases this notable in
crease has been made without addition

roads which report their net earnings
is small, but nearly all which do
this show a large Improvement for the
present year. OF thirty-nne companies
whose net earnings are given for the eight
months from Jan. l to Aug. 81, twenty

for drunkenness and resisting an officer
was paid. and the negro was
turned loose. The way he fought
against arrest showed that he
was desperate man. His record, how
ever, was not known to the police, or at
least they did not recognize him.
A day or two after Bryan's discharge
Officer Kelly, of the city police, obtained
information that Bryan was not the mans
real name. Inquiry convinced Policeman
Kelly that the supposed Bryan was really
Sykes Frazer, who was implicated in the
murder of John Richardson, young col
Ored man, on Jan. II, 1879.
SPOTTED AS A MURDERER.
After getting some additional facts the
toficer went to Sheriff Roman yesterday
morning and told him where Bryan, alias
frazer, was, and mentioned his connec-
ton with Richardson's murder. The
Sheriff took Deputy Fall and went to
Lovers lane and found the alleged MUIR
derer In bed.
When arrested Bryan said HIS name
was Slab Brown. He denied knowing
anything OF the murder, but it is said
that the evidence is very strong against
him. Richardson was employed on the
Atlantic and Gulf railroad. Early liz jan
uary. 1879. hedetected Frazer and another
negro named Joe Wey stealing wood from
khe railroad yard, and he scared them of.
On Saturday, Jan, 10, Wey and Frazer

fallen on the steps of the house. They
afterwards carried him out in the front
