The railroads of New York State had
remarkable record last year. They did
business exceeding Sill 100000 and not a
single passenger was killed from causes be-
yond his own control. There is temper
ance lecture in the returns, however.
While every one of the millions of sober
passengers was carried safely, the small
proportion of passengers who were drunk
show thirty-nine killed. Drunkenness is
rightly assumed to be cause within the
control of the passenger, hence these thirty
nine deaths are excluded from the returns
of passengers killed through a fault of the
railroad companies. 1t is said that this is
probably the first year since the establish
nent of railroads, that such an immunity
from fatal accidents has been shown. 1t is
quite probable that this rest is due to con-
tinuous Improvements in signaling aparat-
US and rolling stock, which improvements
have kept in advance of the growing dan
gers from higher speed and more numer-

ESTRANGE EFFECTS OF A SNAKE BITE
The condition of Mr.. Sylvester Sans, a
we'll known citizen of Pickens county, Ga,
excites considerable interest. Two years
ago, Mr.. Sans, while walking over his farm,
was bitten by rattle snake. He imme-
diately resorted to the native remedy, whis-
ky, of which he took copious draughts.
Nothing more was thought of the matter
until six months ago, when Mr.. Sans be-
trayed symptoms of st. Vitus' dance. He
was never still, not even in his sleep,
twitching his muscles and moving inces-
sanity. Lately he has developed violent
symptoms, and has beat his wife and family,
and in fact all who came within his reach.
He now acts like man with we'll defined
case of rabies, only instead of barking he
makes rafting sound He has been taken
to Canton Jail, where strong guard will be
kept over him until the crisis of his case is
reached.

THE PRESIDENTS OLD CoMPETIToR.-
The Washington correspondent of the In
dianapoI1s Journal says in a recent letter:
Very few people know that there sits in
Congress man who once ran against Grover
Cleveland for the position of Sheriff of Erie
county, New York, and altough beaten by
him at the time, he filled his unexpired
term and is now a member of Congress,
while his successful rival is President. The
member is John B. Weber, of Buffalo. He
is small man, with pleasant face and
quick, active step and manner. He is Re-
publican, but that does not prevent him
from being on good terms with President
Cleveland. Soon after Mr.. Weber came
here this winter he called at the White
House, and jokingly remarked to Mr..
Cleveland: "You see, am following you.
First, you beat me for Sheriff. 1 fell into
your shoes when you became Mayor. Look
out; perhaps the same good luck may follow
me now that 1 am here in Washington with
YOU" The President smiled, and said: 81
am watching you, never fear"

Mr.. BAYARD TO REsIGN.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times writes: There is rumor current here
that Secretary Bayard will shortly resign
his place in President Clevelands Cabinet.
This determination, it is said, had been
reached several days ago, when it became
apparent that Mrs. Bayard must die. The
secretary was on the point of rendering his
resignation on the sudden death of his
daughter, but was persuaded not to do so by
personal friends and by the kind attentions
of the President. The secretary was very
fond of his children and of his wife, whose
illness has been long and trying. he
is very sensitive man and has been Wor-
ried somewhat by public criticism. This
itself, however, would not have seriously
affected him, but in connection with his
family atfiictions it served to add perceptl-
bly, to his burdens.
Just now, on this second bereavement, he
probably feels that retirement from the pub
lie eye and public criticism would be the
most welcome thing to him. TO one in his
present unhappy situation the political
game is not worth the candle. He is not
only sensitive, but high-spirited, and will
90 out of office with dignity, mourning only
his beloved dead. The sad event OF to-day,
while not sudden and unexpected as that of
a fortnight ago, will cast gloom over the
social world of Washington which will not
be easily dispersed. Near friends of Mr..
Bayard are Of the opinion that he will re-
sign within the week.

Editor Morning Nelos. Daring the hot
summer months the back doors OF stores
facing the lanes give the merchants a
little fresh air. This air, however, is
now completely 6lled with dust and dirt
raised by passing vehicles.
There is law on the city statute books
prohibiting under fine of So for each de-
fault the running Of vehicles IN lanes in
which they have no business. Tue law is
on the statute book but ia seldom en-
forced. Congress aud Broughton streets,
between Bull and w hitaker, have num-
Der OF wholesale merchants who ship
continually. Their drays are daily
used and sometimes even block up the
lane. Add to these wagons passing
through the lane and belonging to people
who have no business there whatever, and
only use the lanes the same as a thorough
fare, and you may judge what a nuisance
this matter has become. | am satisfied

Shaffer said before he went into the
game yesterday that he would show the

score shows how he did.
The Atlanta newspapers are busy tell
ing Umpire Young how TO umpire. The
Constitution wants him to standup nearer
the plate and watch the bases little more
closely. ATLANTA had a good deal to say
about Savannah and Umpire Green, and
now she is jumping Young.
This is what Atlanta saws about Tues
days game; "a very large crowd was
present to see Atlanta disgrace herself in
the diamond. The Atlanta players sue
ceeded In PLAYING niiserably throughout
the game, and long before its finish
everybody present was heartily Disguised
with the farce. There are probably a
dozen amateur pitchers in the state that
could discount kimbers work in the box,
and there are but few amateur clubs in the
State that could not have made better
showing than did the Atlanta club.
Whether the burlesque was the result Of
honest playing or throw off, a Disguised
public can Judge for themselves"

Incidents Of the Wreck Off Jupiter
Inlet.


The News gave an account last week
/ Of the loss OF the American brig j. Ii.
| Lane off Jupiter inlet while bound from
/ Matanzas, Cuba. TO Philadelphia, and OF
the arrival of the Captain and his son at
| Jacksonville after trim Of seventy miles
/ from Jupiter inlet 10 TItusVille on foot.
! Capt. 7. >. Eeus, underwriters' agent, OF
/ Jacksonville, has Just returned from the
/ scene OF the wreck. The Lane, he says,
/ broEe into five pieces. and was all gone
when he arrived. The fermentation OF the
molasses had forced all the bungs, and
nothing but empty casks, scattered for
miles along the coast, were TO be found.
Reports OF the people down there are TO
the effect. that by different management
Of captain and crew the vessel and cargo
could have been saved if desired. The
residents are very severe in their denun-
citation of Capt. Sbute for his conduct
after being rescued from the wreck.
Capt. Bunker, Of the house OF refuge,
and his assistants, claim to have risked
their lives to save the crew. and after
getting them ashore two wafer casks aud
sheet-rOn tank lOated into shore fr ON
the brig. Capt. Bunker desired TO pur-
chase the tank and others the casks, but
the residents say that Capt. Snute be-
came angry at the price offered him and
took an axe and deliberately demolished
the three articles. Capt. Eells says he
never saw such indignant people before
as be found in the locality OF the wreck,
and thinks Capt. Shute was fortunate in
escaping without any bodily injury from
them.
The cargo was insured for $4,000 and
Capt. Shute SAYS toe brig was uninsured,
but the Jupiter inlet people say both ere
insured.
The underwriters say that Capt. Shute
did exactly right in not leaving anything
for the wrackers, who are never satisfied
with proper salvage, but want all, and
WHO generally get all if there is the least
chance.
Capt. Shute aud son are still in Jackson
VILE ~ the marine hospital, unable TO
travel, owing to bruises sustained during
the wreck and from their long tramp.
