Two years ago William a. Dillman was ap-
pointed postmaster at Mexico, Ind. He was
then resident of the village A year ago last
September he was appointed State agent for the
Empire binder, in the employ of J. F. Seiberling
& Co., of this city. He came to this city to
make his headquarters, and placed his Office in
charge of j. F. Seiberling, who had been acting
as his deputy However ne still retained his
commission as postmaster, and the official re-
ports all bore his name. He boarded at the
Grand Hotel In this city, though the greater

The @. g. E. Min OILS Extension.

A party who has given the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois extension problem some investigation
says the article which appeared in the Journal
On Dec. is In some respects erroneous. He
writes: sit is much nearer the facts to assume
that the proposed extension Of the l., B. & w.
and the c. & E. Illinois so as to form through
line between Indianapolis and st. Louis and be-
tween the Chicago and ST. Louis is a two
pronged affair at one end and three at the other,
Sidell being at the head of all Here termin-
ates the Grape division of the @. 81 T. Illinois,
extending twenty-five miles northeast to Dan
vile. Here also is point on the Airline pro-
longed by it through an extensive coal field TO a
connection with theL B. g. W., eight miles west
ofDanville which, if built from Sidell, would also
be northern extension of the old D., o. & o..
now the Chicago g. Ohio River railroad. to the
l., B. q W., under whose protection it is we'll I'M
derstood to be. This much much for the two
northernmost prongs. Asfor the southward, three
choices one looks to Tuscola one to Areola, and
the other to NATION, Sidell being the common
point of divergence for each and all. AS mat
ter of course the adoption of one of these routes
involves the rejection of the other two while the
choice is also dependent on whichever route is
most liberal in providing right of way and sub
sides. Without these local aids nothing will be
done towards the work of actual construction.
This is the whole of the story, stripped of the
fancies and the wish which is father to the
thought of those who want more railroads with
in the territory named"

Hemmed in on All Sides.

e. Mex Twombly, who represented the Van
derbilt interest, and who to-day controls the ma
jority of the stock issued in the South Pennsyl-
vania, remarked the other day: ''The mistake
that we made was that we did not sell out for
cash" He probably had in his mind the wisdom
OF the Doodle aldermen, who appreciated the
trouble about negotiating bonds, and he con-
tinued: I'VE are now tied up no matter which
way we turn. The Pennsylvania holds our
agreement to sell, so that we cannot go ahead
and build the road If we wanted to. and the court
has enJoined them from delivering US the bonds,
so that they can't pay us if they wanted TO, SO
the $4,000, 600 that we have got in the ground
dropped into the State of Pennsylvania will have
to stay there indefinitely"

this city, asking them TO contribute to fund he
ss raising with which to prosecute claim
against the government for money he claims is
due himself, and all other old soldiers, for serv-

employed at s13 per month, with the under.
standing that no was to be paid In gold, but he
was paid in greenbacks. The value of this
snoney was greatly below that of gold and he
thinks he is entitled to the difference in the

The Prosperity of Common Carriers.

1t is gratifying to note how handsome earnings
are footing up, and November will not be an ex-
ception and, with the general adherence to
rates, roads which have failed to pay divi-
dends for years are again coming into the list Of
dividend-paying roads Never before has the
vastness of the carrying interests of the country
been more noticeable than this year. especially
when not only the railroads but the lake and
canal shipping are included The statements of
the Trunk-line pool commissioner, just pub
lished, show that during October all carriers
brought to New York nearly 10 000 900 bushels
of grain and flour computed as grain), and of
this total the Erie canal handled As per cent.
During the first ten months of the year the re.
ceipts of grain and -four at New York amounted
to nearly 1O8 600 600 bushels the largest for any
year since 1881, when they were 12l, 600, OO0-but
only little larger than in 1885 and 1888 Of
this amount the New York Central moved 213
per cent. the Erie 16. the Pennsylvania nearly
s, the Lackawanna s. the West Shore 6, and the
canal 3D. The New York canals have carried
this year 5, 250000 tons, an increase of 100000,
and the boatmen have had the most profitable
year for long time for years before they had

Where Reform Is Imperatively Demanded.
The time has come fer the railroads Of thi
country to get beyond the coal stove and the oil
lamp for lighting and heating purposes. The
safety of the travelling public demands a reform
in this matter, and the sooner the reform is
taken hold of in earnest the better. With all
the conveniences and comfort the modern coach
offers, no one has yet invented any road
adopted coach which will not burn. For q
quarter OF a century wrecked passenger trains
have become funeral pyres, as was the late Rio
disaster, which seems to have already been for
gotten except by those who mourn the loss OF
dear friends. Some of the leading roads are
giving the matter more attention, and have in
some cases adopted the safer mode of heating
cars, but still are burning the coal-oil lamp.
The ordinary passenger car is tinder-box.
Built OF dry and inf1ammable woods, ana the
paints and varnlEhes with which tits finished COM
posed OF ingredients that burn readily as gun
powder, no sooner does fire come in contact with
any portion of its inner surface than it is
wrapped In flames instantaneously. AS the
passengers, as rule, find themselves unable to
get out OF the car, and as no one can break
into it, the incarceration of every person in a
wrecked railway car in which coal stoves and
oil lamps furnish heat and light, is a matter of
a very few moments But railway companies
often consult their finances more than the COM
fort and safety of their patrons. The coal stove
and the oil lamp are cheap. Steam heating and
electric lighting are expensive. The cheap and
dangerous system is adopted because the law
does not compel the use of the safer and more
expensive methods. 1t might be we'll for Legs
latures in every State to compel by law the adop-
ton of the safer methods The horrors of the
Rio disaster should not be possible in future. 1t
is and will be impossible to guard against all
railway accidents, but it certainly is not neces-
sary that a passenger train thrown from the
track should become frey furnace, roasting
and charring the unfortunate passengers who
are hopelessly imprisoned within the derailed
coaches

Coast Seamen's Sfrike-The SpreckeIs
Boycott.

The members Of the Coast Seamen's
Union admit that the great strike into
which bad counselors led them a few
months ago, and which cost them 81. 200.
has proved complete failure, and $50
men are still out Of work, while as MANY
more are working in the interior of the
State. As the deep-water gram fleet
leaves this port they hope to work back
into positions which have been filed
by deep-water sailors, None Of the
strikers have yet got employment on
vessels running to Puget Sound. The
strike was made as acounter-blow against
the shipowners, who were shipping deep
water sailors in the coasting trade, and
the seamen intimate that they may re
new the struggle in the spring. They
now regard the arrangement which they
made with the boarding house keepers
as one cause Of their failure, and assert
that they could have boarded their
strikers for 81 per weeks. +. Chron-
