very fair and the races all that could be de-

against wire fence on the back stretch,
breaking through, threw her rider (Meaton)
heavily on his head, and then rolled over
him. When examined by the doctors,

cussion of the brain, with probable internal
injuries. His recovery is a matter of doubt.

Railroad Matters.
New York, June 22d.-Numerous pri-
vate dispatches having been received here
to the effect that the Northwest is pushing
surveys for the extension of its Fremont
and Elkhorn line toward the Pacific, and
that this work will soon be more vigor.
ously pressed, your representative waited
on Vice-President Sykes, who said There
is no foundation whatever for the reports
circulated, nor is there any truth in them
We believe that for present needs suffi-
cient number of transcontinental lines
already exist Union Pacific officials
authoritatively claim that the survey fol-
the Northwest is being made to the coast
and other well-informed railroad men say
the matter, for some unknown reason, !:
being kept quiet.
C. P. Huntington says that although the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe left thu
settlement with the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company in his hands, at the outset of thu
war rate, it is not the case now. No settle
ment of any kind has been effected by th'
Pacific Mail people, who claim they car
and will manage to exist without any sub
sides from the railroads.
