ago the Journal noticed that such bill of lad

no one will believe for moment that railroad

of paying damages where they are brought
about through any carelessness of the company
or its employees.
1t has been the custom with many shippers to
make shipments consisting of number of pack
ages oniv one of which is marked with the full
address of consienees This practice has caused
a great many losses and miscarriages of pack
ages Several companies have given notice that
hereafter they will refuse to receive shipments
of less than carload freight, unless the full
name and address of consignee are plainly
marked on each package.

The passenger department Of the Central
Traffic Association will to-day doubtless pass a
resolution which means the appointment of trav-
cling auditors, who shall have the right to visit
any outside Office or station and examine the
ticket agents book to ascertain whether such
agent is selling tickets at full rates. This will
be much OF farce as the travelling auditor of
the Chicago & Ohio River pool. who spent last
week in Indianapolis on just such an Grand, and
went home believing that every ticket agent was
holding to rates, when there was not a day last
week, unless reports are grossly exaggerated,
that rates were not cut by some one of the Indi-
annapolis roads TO points covered by the pool.

BOSTON. Dec lathe annual meeting of the
New York & New England stockholders, to-day,
was largely attended, both the Boston and New

Before the voting began the annual report

breaking open car and extinguish

lision at Spuyten Duyvil, in 1882, the
negligenc5 of railroad companies with
regard to these things was denounced
in many official utterauces. "The
present means OF heating AID lighting
railway cars" said Gov. Cornell in his
special message, lis a standing menace
to the lives of passengers" By the
coroner's jury the officers of the Gem
trail road were sharply censured for
not providing implements to be used
in retCutng passengers and means for
extinguishing fire. A grand jury sit
ting in the following month made a
pre- sentm ent, in which the use of min
eral oil in car lamps was opposed, and
in which it was said that "the heating
of cars by direct radiation from stoves
with coal fires should be abolished
and appliances should be introduced

AsICAME DOWN FROM LEBANON

As l came down from Lebanon,
Come winding, wandering slowly down,
Through mountain passes bleak and brown
The cloudless day was we'll nigh done.
The city, like an opal set
In emerald, showed each minaret
Afre with radiant beams of sum,
And glistened orange, fig and lime
Where song birds made melodious chime
As l came down from Lebanon.
Az Il came down from Lebanon,
Like lava in the golden glow,
Through olive orchards far below
l saw the murmuring river run;
And meath the wall upon the sand
Swart sheiks hon Instant SamaToand,
With precious spices they had won,
Lay long and languidly in wait
Till they had passed the guarded gate,
As / came down from Lebanon.
As came down from Lebanon
/ saw strange men from lands afar
. In mosque and square and gay bazaar;
The Nagi that the Moslem shun,
And grave Efendi from STEAMBOAT,
Who sherbet slipped in corners cool,
And from the balconies O'errun
With roses, cleaned the eyes of those
Who dwell in still seraglios,
As / came down from Lebanon.
As came down from Lebanon
The flaming glow of daytime died,
And Night, arrayed as is a bride
Of some great king in garments spun
OF purple and the finest gold,
Outbloomed in Rlorles manifold,
Until the moon, above the dun
And darkening desert, void Of shade,
ShOpe like keen Damascus blade,
AS l came down from Lebanon.
