suffering. This accident is made saddcr

An old lady boarded Main street car
at Exchange street yesterday afternoon.
She was evidently stranger In the city.
After riding few blocks she opened an
old leather handbag, took out cooky,
and proceeded contentedly TO MUNICH II
as she gazed at the crowds that filled the
streets. When the Genesee was reached
she waved her parasol at the conductor,
who promptly stopped the car. The ole
lady did not move.
dDid you want to get of here, ma'am?'
"No, want TO talk to you"
The conductor jerked the bell-rope, thu
car moved on and the conductor swung
himself around to her.
"Young man, please tell me when w
get to North street"
"All right, ma'am."
At North street the car was stopped
the conductor yelled, 'North street." Blu
the old lady moved not.
"This is North street, ma'am."
The old lady rose, adjusted her spectq
cles and peered around.
"Young man, / believe you're foolinl
me-"
"There's the name on the lamp post
Hurry up,please. You're keeping the ca
waiting"
The old lady took long look at tb
narrow, ill-paved end OF the street, an
then settled back into her seat, and re
marked;

was the hIndsomest street In the clty,an

to the railway system OF the Uuited
Statee since January The mileage laid
during the frst six months Of any year ls
so uniformly less than one-third OF the
total for the entire twelve months that Il
may be safely predicted that the total
new railway mileage Of 1886 will not fall
short OF COCO miles, aud may consldera-
bly, exceed that The greatest activity
thus far has ueen In Kansas, where SOL
miles Of track have already been added
on twelve different lines. Florida follows
with 207 miles on eight lines, Texas with
1876 on six lines, Wisconsin with 1884
on four lines, and Illinois with III on
live lines. Nebraska has added 81 miles
on six lines In none Of the other states
have moro than 80 miles been laid thus
far, but In many of them, as well as IN
those Just named, preparations are
actively going on for track-laylng TO a
large extent during the next few months.
IL is to be noted that the construction Is
mainly going ON Ia new parts Of the

the effect that Col. Frank james, an out
law, fondly In love with the lovely daughter
OF his worstenemY, aproud and rich brlga-
dier, finally elopes with her and is pursued
by the officers Of the law and all the
minions that the brlgadier's money and
influence can call 10 his aid. This will
give him and COPYRIGHT an opportunity
TO Introduce their various specialties, and
1t Is confidently expected that the inter-
est will be well sustained to the last act,
In which the outlaw Will surrender TO the
governor of the state and receive
10 full amnesty and settle down
with his bride to crown youth
of labor with an age OF ease. In the case
Of Frank James aud Annie Ralston IL may
be remembered that the colonel met the
girl under an assumed name as she was
visiting at friends. She played cro-
quet with him, and became so deeply In
terested in the stranger that he at length
declared himself and was accepted. He
then told her who he was, and In her
girlish sympathy for HIM she loved him
more passionately than ever. Her father
would not permit the colonel TO call
on his daughter, but she managed
TO see him frequently, and finally,
on the pretense OF visiting relatives
IN Nebraska, She went away from
home and was not seen again for two
years. AT the end OF that time the
colonel presented himself at Ralston't
place and asked permission to send Annie
home for the summer, but the old mar
refused, whereupon James told him thai
he would not see his daughter again II
ten years. He came very near keeping
his promise. None of her friends saw
her until eight years had elapsed, an'
then the colonel was prisoner. All this
it Is thought, will do to start the play AM
give an adequate motive for the vas
amount of indiscriminate killing whic
win take place in the third, fourth an
fifth acts
COPYRIGHT is quite pleased with th
| prospect, and in signing the contract h
will make but one stipulation, and that
that he shall not appear in New Mexico

the fate of his old associates, the Young
