that the railway building of 1886 win
far exceed that of the two preceding
years, and indeed surpass that Of most
of the years In the history of the coun.
try. No less than 1855 miles Of new
main track, not counting sidings and
additional tracks, have been added to
the railway system of the United States
since January l, and it is believed that
the total new railway mileage of 1886
will not fall short Of six thousand
miles"

Hagerstown's Day.-Independ-

HagerstOwn's Day.-Independ-
ence Day was celebrated in fine style at
Hagerstown on Monday last. A very
large crowd of persons were there from
the neighboring States. Most Of the
business houses and private dwellings
were hands mely decorated with flags
and bunting. The principal feature OF
the celebration was the presence of over
$50 wheelmen, who had accepted the
invitation of the home club to particle
pate in bicycle meet. Wheelmen were
there from Baltimore, Washington and
other places. The visitors were dressed
in a great variety of uniforms and had
with them bicycles of all sizes and
shapes. Shortly before noon the CLUBS
congregated in the square, where the
mayor welcomed them in a neat and
graceful speech. Mr.. j. X. Bartlett,
Jr., of Baltimore, replied in q pleasant
manner on behalf Of the visitors. The
parade that followed was very credita-
BILE display, and was greatly enjoyed by
the spectators. At 2 O'Clock citizen
meeting was held in front Of the court
house. Ex-GOv. Hamilton presided, and
speeches were made by Edward Stake
and II. Ii. Keedy. In the evening the
Hagerstown Light Infantry and the en-
tire fire department. paraded the streets,
and fine exhibition Of fireworks took
place in the public square. The day

shoo,l.g Aaray IN Frederick

Much excitement was created in Fred
erick City, Nd, on Monday evening
last by the shooting and probable fatal
wounding of Mr.. Harry r. Besant, son
of Mr.. James r. Besant, justice Of the
peace of Frederick, by'Dr. Joseph A.
Webb, a well-known Baltimore dentist.
The cause of the shooting was the al
legged seduction by Besant Of a cousin OF
Webb, who has since become maniac
and is now confined in Mt. Hope Asy-
lum, near Baltimore. Although the al
legged wrong occurred some time ago,
Webb, it appears, was kept in ignorance
of the fate of his cousin until last Sum
day, when the intimation of the facts
was given him by relative, who was
OIL visit to Baltimore. Monday after
noon Webb went to Frederick, where
he hunted up Besant. He saw him on
the street and fired at him with a re-
volver, striking Mr.. Besant in the right
arm, near the shoulder, infiicting hor-
rible wound. Besant fell to the
ground with a cry that he was shot,
and after surgeon had been summoned
was carried to his home Oh a stretcher.
Webb was arrested. The wound OF
Besant was probed, but the bullet could
not be found. His condition is regarded
by his physician as critical, especially II
inflammation sets in. Besant is about "a
years of age, and has been engaged rs
clerk in the large establishment OF
Messrs. Besant Il Knott, on East Pat
rick street. When taken before the
magistrate Webb appeared calm and
collected, and expressed no regret at
what he had done. He is a very quiet
and self possessed man, but is known to
be very courageous. 1t is generally be-
lieyed that he brooded over the infor-
nation he received yesterday, and, re-
garding himself in the light of BROTH
er, resolved to avenge the unhappy con.
dition of his cousin. The affair is deep
" regretted by the many friends of all
concerned.

Mr.. James NJ. Hendricks was in to
see us u few days ago, and says we did
him an injustice last week when we
stated that the culvert on the Cement
Mill road was giving way. He says
that the culvert is all right and is good
piece of work. The wing-wall was not
so good, however, and part OF it has
fallen out, but the damage is slight.
The culvert was built under Mr.. Hen
bricks supervision, and Of course he
wants the matter stated correctly. We
cheerfully give him the benefit of this

Danger from Swordflsh.

The Boston Transcript says: The swordfish does attack his human pur- suers The recent death of Capt. Frank Langsford from wound inflicted by a swordfish recalls an incident somewhat similar that occurred several years ago. but unattended by any tragic result. A swordtish had been harpooned from a Gloucester schooner and was attached to floating buoy. MT. James Thurston went out in dory, accompanied by Q shipmate, to bring it in. Soon after be- ginning to haul the line in the men felt the dory slightly jared. simulta- neously the sword of the fish stuck up through the bottom of the dory, between MT. Thurston's knees. He instinctlvely threw his head back and escaped with a slight scratch on his chin With his dory mates help a rope was fastened about the sword in such a way as to se- cure it and the men pulled for their schooner, when the dory was drawn on board with the swordfish attached te the bottom.

Found n River.

A report has been received at the Navy Department from Lieut.. George M. Stoney, commanding the Alaska ex- loring expedition, dated Fort Cosmon, Putnam River, Dec. 26, 1885. Lieut.. Stoney states that between the 10th and 18th of December, accompanied by En- sign Howard, he made sledging expe- dition to the northward, and reached the headwaters of river which flows to the northward. The natives say that this river empties into the Arctic near Point Barrow. Owing to the shortness of the days. having only twilight and moonlight, he could not m ke much headway, and regarded it moro practical to continue exploring the country nearer headquarters and take up the northern country when the days lcngthen. Every effort would be made to explore the river mentioned and also to reach Point Barrow. thereby completing the explora- tion of Arctic Alaska. On his no. thern trip he came across natives who had never before seen white men, and who were at first much surprised to see the whi man come among them. There being but two whites in the party Lieut., Stoney at first feared trouble, but the natives proved to be very kind snd friendly. Their curiosity was, however beyond imagination. Some of these natives claimed that they sometime! visited Point Barrow by way of tht river. Their chief food is the flesh of tho reindeer.

He Wanted to Die.

The St. Paul Globe says:-"So you want to die, do you2" asked a rescuer of a man whom he had just taken out of the river, the would be suicide having thrown himself in to end his earthly existence.
 "Oh, why did you save mel" gasped the rescued victim from Q watery grave. "Why didn't you let me drown and thus end my miserable life9'
 "Are you determined to die9" asked the rescuer.
 Nothing would tempt me to prolong my stay on this earth. l long to be at peace and sleep the sleep which knows no waking. Oh, why did you rescue mel"
 'Well, if you want to die so darn bad," continued the misguided rescuer, 'I'll put you in the way of a quicker death than drowning and surer one, too."
 'Tell me what it is and I'll gladly in- vite it."
 ''Get the position of League umpire and decide all close plays against the home club. Try it once and see how long you can live" "

BOstOn's Suicide Defaulter.

With regard to Mir. Gray, who ran fast course and killed himself news paper correspondent says that the two corporations which employed him had no system of rules for the examina- tion or bis accounts. As long as he could make dividends so that the stock holders felt themselves rich he was al- lowed to do pretty much as he pleased, no regular examination of his books be- ing made, though it was known that he kept yacht, the most expensive form of enjoyment. However, he received $45, ,OO0 a year, and that should have been enough to support family and a boat It is not very probable that his method of domestic living caused his downfall. No city in the country has more social secrets than Boston, and ed ucation in a careless woman merely en. hances her power over business man. The mistress whose mind has been trained above that of the man whose dependent she has become leads him the furthest beyond his depth. since his inferiority soon makes him morally timid to serve her behests. The most expen. sive intrigues are those which come | from the nearest to responsibility. Awo man, with decent surroundings, who from the mere love of display seduces { family man, expects him to pay thu highest penalty for her condescension In Gray's case there are already rumor of an expensive woman somewhere il the background. A man who owns yacht is always in temptation. He soo1 exhausts the waters adjacent to his plac of residence. and must rely upon the so clety he can carry off with him, like Don Juan running up the Mediterra nean
