Increased Railroad Receipts.


NEW ORLEANS, June 5.-The earn"
ings of the Queen & Crescent Railway
Company Qessees of the Cincinnati
Southern railway for the third week
in May were $46,63S, an increase of
$66OS over the same week in 1885. At
this rate the showing for the month
will be an admirable one in spite OF
the interruption of trains on the last
two days for change Of gauge.
The receipts of the Texas and Pacific
Railroad for the month of April last
were 800, 900 in excess of the receipts
for the same month in 1884. The ex-
penses were larger, owing to the large
quantity of new rail purchased and
laid. The receipts for May, it is be.
lieved, will exceed the receipts fol
May OF last year over 100000.

Dear Sir: I have decided to place in

reasons for the decision are both pub,

to reflect upon the demands of the
public service to which l have given
too freely all my strength and upon
the conditions of resuming my )abors
at your side, have not for a moment
questioned what must be my present
duty. The full recovery of my health
promises to be an affair OF weeks, aud
a longer period Of rest especially du-
ring the hot months is prescribed, or
at least advised as a prudent regimen
thereafter, Compliance with this ad-
vice would not be practical were ! to

The Times Democrat Of Tuesday
last furnishes its readers with the fol-
lowing very pretty little story, which
is we'll worth perdsal and ponderiug
on: s'
Gen. Burney, we'll known attorney
at-law in Clarksville, Tenn, recently
related the following: Strange things
happen frequently. Just a little bit
ago met lady neighbor who showed
me curious silver half dollar. One
side was smooth and had engraved on
1t in pretty letters "CassIe, 1856"
Said she: ..Thirty-one years ago,
when was girl, I had lover whom
L esteemed greatly for his devotion.
We were visiting our county town 10
Kentucky, and entering jewelry store
the gentleman took this coin from his
pocket, had the jeweler to smooth part
of the side and engrave 1t as you see.
He then observed: Nov we will give
this coin to the world, and see II 1t
shall ever return to be recognized and
the money was spent for some triniug
luxury. After this the existing attach
ment became broken of, and Of course
each of us pursued different way, but
the half dollar, going it's way, has at
last come back to be recognized. II
was paid to my son-in-law by bank
in Franklin, KY, last week, and he
sent it to me-" ,be

green wax. The way bill for the run
of Tuesday night had the package
marked "shori."- When received the
package was sealed with red wax.
The delay of twenty-four hours in
transit is not yet explained, but will
doubtless give a clue to the robber.
No thorough investigation of the
method of substitution can be made
here. Superintendent Conex OF To-
ledo, is looking into the matter. The
package could pass over two roads and
through the hands Of three messengers
between here and Vanwort. This
could easily explain twenty-four hours
delay. The package was not sealed BY
the money clerk here, having been
previously sealed by the bank. lsc

Rock Isl and Railroad in Trouble.
CHICAGO, June 5.-Captain Hunt Of
the Hyde park police force, started for
Cummings this morning, taking with
him all the available men Of his force.
This movement was made because Of
anticipated trouble between the Rock
Island rail road aud the striking nall
makers of the Calumet Steel company.
Two freight cars containing nails
have been standing at Cummings for
week. They we're consigned to the
Rock Island road. Yesterday the
road made an attempt to move the
cars, which was frustrated by the stris
kers, who induced the trainmen to
abandon the attempt. Superintend-
ent Chamberlain, Of the Rock Island,
Immediately sought out Police Cap
tain Hunt and asked for protection.
The captain replied that he could have
it and proposes to give it to him. An
attempt was made yesterday to move
the cars. Matters are further COM
plicated by the fact that the Rock
Island trainmen are in full sympathy
with the strikers and it is feared that
serious trouble may ensue.

into two, on the ground that It isa
fragrant political move Of the Republi'
cans to get hold Of the parish after
truncation.

We commend the following, clipped
from the franklin, Williamson county,
Tennessee Review, to the careful con-
sideratiou of our planters who may
desire to raise fruit instead Of depend
ing on cotton which is gradulIy banks
ruptipg those who raise two much OF
the staple and do not diversity crops.
Realizing $4,000 on fifteen acres Of land
in such a short space of time is no
small matter;.
"W, L. Wilkes has sold bis crops Of
Bartlett pears from 10 acres, for $1,000
to Mr.. Mobiles, Of Cincinnati. This Is
the second $1,000 crop which Mr..
Wilkes has sold from the orchard
within the last four or five years, be-
sides other small crops, aggregating
| aS, 900 In that time, or an average OF
near $1,000 year from 10 acres OF
land in pears, while the expense OF
keeping it up has been mere trifie."
