Miss LEGAL and Mr.. w. p. Wideman.
the whole College joining in on the
refrain. The exercises were very
appropriate and only a feeling
of universal respect and revcr-
.ence for the deceased pervaded the en-
tire audience az they were being exc
cuted. Prof. Kennedy, in his baccalau-
reate address paid Miss McQuerns a we'll
deserved tribute and commended her
life as n worthy of imitation by the
the young ladies who this day we're to
leave the classic walls Of their alma

of Miss McQuerns will always Be felt At

The Reception at the Female College.
Thursday evening the reception of
h two Colleges occurred at the Female
College. The occasion was very pleas
ant t0r the rain had closed in the even
ing and the stars were out and the air
balmy and bracing. The young men
were exceedingly gallant and none
more 40 than the junior editor Of the
MEssENGER. This has characterized
him on the whole occasion. The Hon.
George j ohnstone. who is a
bachelor, had nhany of the fairy queens
hanging upon his arm. And right here
VIC may say that we promised to report,

Wideman, but as he said he HAD gotten
permission we will let DR.. Addison as
certain If the statement corresponds
with the fact. Mrs. Leftwich might

train No. 9, over the Delaware division
was bowling along at high rate of
speed about two miles this side Of Park
er's Glen, when Engineer Merritt Turner
saw handsome buck deer on the track
about quarter of mile ahead OF him.
The track at this point runs for miles
along the side OF the mountain, its pre-
cipitous sides being on the south
side and the Delaware river on the
north, thirty feet below the level Of the
track The deer could not climb the
mountain, and evidently did not relish
the Idea Of making the thirty foot jump,
so II increased its speed aud bounded

preaching train. Engineer Turner took
In the situation, and throwing his engine
wide open, started after the affrighted
animal. 1t was lungs and wind, against
steam and axle grease, and the latter won.
The deer was overtaken and the monster
locomotive threw the poor creature with
great force against the rocks, fatally in
jurlng IT, The trainmen cut the animals
throat, threw the carcass on the pilot OF
the locomotive and brought 1t to this vii
lage. 1t will be divided among the train

Travel to the Pacific coast has set in I'M
usually early this year, and Southern Cali
fornia seems the point most favored by
those westward-bound. Travel to the
coast promises to be much heavier this
year than heretofore, for some unknown
reason, but 1t is quite probable that the
low rate OF transportation has a great
deal to do with 1t.
The gross earnings of ninety-three rail-
roads in the United States during the
first nine months of this year were 1854.
76S,245, as against $14S, 423,770 during
the corresponding period Of last year, an
increase Of 3 per cent, and Sl52 1852, 1881
during the first nine months Of 1884, al
increase l 6 per cent. The number OF
miles Of road owned by the ninety-three
companies is 1879, as against 43,474 in
1885, and Al, 1918 in 1884.
The cause of the unwonted activity in
railroad building at the present time is
thus explained by the Wall Street News
In the early part of this year many rail
road companies we're able to borrow large
amounts of money at low rates OF inter
est. As one result Of this, it is noted
that in July and August more new
railroad was constructed than In the
whole preceding six months. Construc
ton will continue at the same rate, tol
the money to do the work has been raised
We are already ahead of last year on new
road. The total for 1886 was 3,l3l miles
but the first eight months of this year
show 3,475 miles built II is estimated
that healthy growth of railroad con
struction for the country is about 5000
miles per year.
