Miscellaneous Notes.

MiSc0uaneOuS NOteSs
The PENNSYLVANIA railroad and the Baltimore
& Ohio are both said to want the Peach Bottom
narrow-gauge if they can get it cheap.
Last week special train on the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy road, having several officers of
the company on board, made the run from Den
yer to Akron, 254 miles. in five hours and ten
minutes. The number of stops is not given, but
the extraordinary speed of fifty miles an hour
was maintained for this long run.
The report of the Illinois Central railroad
shows that for the last ten years the number of
ties used for maintenance on its lines has varied
from 1877 to $40 per mile of road, averaging 248,
which would renew mile of track in ten and a
half years. The road had at the end of 1884
402 miles of second track and sidings, and the
renewals that year but 1913 per mile of track.
There is, at present, very bitter feeling at
Winnipeg. occasioned by order of the Do
minion government. disallowing the two railway
acts passed by the Manitoba Legislature in 1884
The people of that outlying province had been
promised that, after the actual opening of the
Canada Pacific, IL would not he the policy of the
Dominion government to discourage rival rail-
road schemes in the Northwest And it was
quite possible that this promise was sincerely
made, but the fact is that the natural drift of
through passenger trade is increasingly toward
the United States, and it will not do to encour-
age these escapes by allowing the provinces to
build connecting roads.
There has been a recent development of trade

Reed. secreting himself behind near by

victims were two unsophistieated females
who, on being notified they had been cheated
went back and demanded their money which
they got. Next came an old gent named
Smith. native of Mt. Desert Island, who
was also notified that hi. cash account was
short. Smith was mad clean through and
wanted to clean out the crowd, but was pre-
vailed upon to keep quiet and simply demand
ms money which he, too, got, as the ticket
seller could see blood in Smiths eye. Then
came along two fresh youths who tumbled
broadslde into the trap, and soon after were
notified by Reed.

By this time the three circus chaps "got
on to the fact that they were being s'piped,"
and after squaring accounts with the young
man came to the conclusion that it would be
