Meeting of Railroad Men.
SALT LAKE, August h.-Represen.a-
tives of the roads interested in the Colorado
and Utah business held meeting here TO-
day to adjust the complaints that goods
are shipped to points in Colorado and Utah
from the Pacific coast cheaper than from
Chicago, including oranges canned goods,
dried fruit, wines, brandy and sugar. The
proposition TO bring the California lines
into the pool with the Missouri river lines
on the Colorado traffic was rejected, after a
full discussion, as inexpedient, in view of
the general decentralization of rates. The
result of the deliberations was that the
rates from the coast to Denver, Pueblo and
Colorado Springs be the same as from Chi
cago, being g slight raise of rates from the
West, except few California commodities,
for which special rates have been pro-
vided

ing tho Atlantic.

AN English inventor is hard at work
upon plan by which he hopes the
dangers of ocean travel will be dimin-
ished.. A lghtship, cable station and
harbor Of refuge IN mid-Atlantic are
very desirable things to have, he says,
and, accordingly, he has prepared his
estimates. and built his model. An Sc
foot square steel cushion with a pyra-
mid top, having a deck and GO foot
light'tower at it's apex. are the princi-
pal features Of the invention. Four
cables from the corners connect at q
considerable depth with a single anchor
cable, thus allowing the vessel to swing
freely before any wind or current,
From the centre Of the vessel wires
will connect with the various Atlantic
cables, so that ship news can. be trans.
Daitted. .Safety.is assured by extreme
strength, and minute subdivision into
water-tight compartments; also by the
shape, Of the deck and sides from which
the heaviest waves will, the inventor
claims, be detected. The advantages
OF tne scheme are stated to be:
First, that shipwrecked sailors or
,foundering vessels would have q ref.
uge for which to steer; second, that
such lightship would become q place
of call for ocean steamers, even though
not In distress, and that much ship
news could therefore be furnished:
third. that inyaluable AID would he ojvon

fourth; that the expense Of cable trans.

by use of relay apparatus, such as this
vessel could contain. We might also
expect the lightkeepers on such YES.

. Wife's Method Of Revenge.~

A dispatch from Odessa lately states
that the criminal court Mt Poltava,
rendered Its decision in the case Of the
Countess Won Kirkescoffen, who was
convicted Of feloniously suppressing a
will and Of inhuman cruelties which
caused the death. Of peasant woman
named VOrna. Janisprelski. The son.
tence Of the court was that the de-
fendant's own property be conflscated
to- the crown, that her late husbands
title AMI estates revert to certain distant
relatives, sand that she be imprisoned
ten ye;iYss. Y The trial occupied the
greater part lof a week, and caused an
|limmense sensation ip Russia. The
facts asSltold in court are as follows.
In 1852 the defendant. then Mile. Olga
BervankslSi was married to Count
Nicolas Won Kirlescoffen. She was 80
years old and he was two years younger.
The marriage was one Of convenience
for property reasons. No children
were ever born to them. In 1853 tho
countess discovered that her husband
had llaison with q girl that he~had
established at game-keeper's lodge.
The girls ACKNOWLEDGEMENT led to the dis.
covery. Shortly after the child was
born the countess had it stolen from
the >lodge and brought to her at the
castle. She testified in court. that her
intention was to strangle it, bat she
afterwards decided that shn could
punish her husband more by compelling
him to announce the child as her Off
spring and his legitimate heir. The
boy was accordingly brought up in this
belief, but he was treated with great
severity bya' the countess. In 1874,
when he was 81 years old, he loft home
and has since lived an extra vagabond
life in various European capitals. In
