Railroad Building in 1855.

Notwithstanding the widespread i'm
preston that the additions to the railway
system of the United States during
1888 would be comparatively insig-
| nidcant, the evidence is now before us
that the railway mileage of the coun-
try was increased during the year
by no, less than 7120 miles of main
track. While this is much less than the
phenomenal increase in the years 1887 :,
1886, 1882 and 1881, when the new mile
age was respectively 10 900, 5000, IL 800
and 1916 miles, the record for the past
year exceeds that OF every other year in
history, with the exception OF 1871, when
1873 miles were added. New track was
laid in all but two of the forty-seven
states and territories, the exceptions be-
ing Rhode Island and Nevada Kansas
still leads the list in the extent of new
mileage, and she has done so for
several wears. California comes
next. Only about twenty lines built
more than 100 miles each; those doing
the largest amount of work being the
Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska, 4l2
miles; st. Paul, Minneapolis and Man
itoba, AT miles; and Southern Pacific,
through various subsidiary COM
pauies, q little over 800 miles.
This is important as showing how the ma
ture of the work of railway construction
changed in a single year. The building
of great competitive lines practically
ceased for the present and the years
work was chiefly devoted to the con-
struction of short independent lines or
branches = Railway Age.

Railroad Earnings Better.

The improvement in railroad earnings
still continues, says the Stockholder, as
is shown by the final statement for the
fourth week of November which in
cludes returns from siXty-niue roads,
having aggregate earnings of s. ;S4S ,SSt =,
this being an increase of SPA ,677. Fifty
one roads have so far reported for
the first week of December, and
these have aggregate gross earnings
of IS GIG, 527, as against So, 526 sos
for the corresponding week last year, an
increase of SSa, 722 or 81 per cent. The
total earnings for the full month of No
vember, as is elsewhere shown, present
an unfavorable comparison with last year,
but this is in good part due TO the rela-
tive dizziness caused during the early part
of the mouth by the distractions incident
TO the election, and later by the demor-
alization in rates which now appear to be
approaching a settlement.

Grievance Committee of 90 Strikers Call on the
General Officers of the Company
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 29.-The go"
strike has been thoroughly discussed to-
day anew by the convention of the special
grievance committee of nine which
held brief session and then in a body
visited the general officers of the Chica-
go, Burlington and Quincy Company
There the committee were closeted for g
half hour with Vice President Stone and
General Manager Ripley in the latter s
office.
After the visitors had departed Mr.
Ripley said: 1.-The gentlemen simply
came to ask if it would be convenient for
us to receive them here on Monday and
hear what they have TO say They de-
sire conference but were not ready for
it to-day and simply wanted to know if
we would give them hearing Monday -
'Did you grant the request?''
''Certainly. We can t refuse to hear
them. That does not indicate, of course,
that we have any intention of changiLg
our position. They did not tell us what
they are coming here for, and we do not
know whether they are going to ask any
concessions of us or not
This was all Mr.. Ripley had to say on
the subject, but it was more than any
member of the committee of nine would
vouchsafe. delegate to the convention
who is not a member of the committee
stated that the committee had submitted
a proposition to the pany-'' brother
hood terms, - he called it-and were to
return Monday for an answer.

4 BOY NURDERED.

an Eight Feof~Cold Boy Stabbed to Death.
Heart and EHtraits Cut Out.
LONDON, Dec. 29.-The mutilated
body of a boy found in an clubhouse
at Bradford this morning was recognized
as that of John Gill, eight years of age.
When last seen he was sliding on the ice
with some comrades. The boy had been
brutally murdered. His legs and arms
tied to the body. His ears had been cut
OFF. There wereIstwo stab wounds in his
chest and his heart and entrails had been
tern out. The remains, when found,
were wrapped in a rough covering. The
police believe from the clumsy
manner in which the body was
mutilated that the crime was the work of
drunken lads whose ideas had been in
famed by reading accounts of the White
chapel atrocities. The supposed muir
der and butchery were committed i'll some
other place, and the remains were after
wards carried by the perpetrators to the
clubhouse in which they were found. The
crime has created the greatest excitement
at Bradford. The police have no trace
of the murderers.
A milkman has been arrested on sus-
picion of having committed the crime.
The murdered boy had occasionally ae-
eompanied him on his rounds. The pris-
oner was the first TO recognize the re-
mains. 1t is certain that the body was
placed in the clubhouse between the hours
of and this morning.

Fort Worth Railroad, the Colorado and
Texas Construction Company, the Pam
handle Construction Company and the
Mercantile Trust Company, to restrain
the issue of 81 900 900 Texas and Fort
Worth bonds, was removed to-day from
the supreme court to the United States
circuit court. The plaintiff is q stock
holder in the Panhandle Company
which contracted to build and equip 249
miles of road from point 1876
miles north of Fort Worth
to the Texas line. The track
was to be built in order to complete the
system from Denver to Fort Worth The
construction company was to receive in
return for building the track Sl5 600 of
bonds and $40 900 of common stock of
the system. The Fort Worth and Den
yer City Road paid its share, but the
Denver, Texas and Fort Worth Company
attempted to pay with portion of the
81 900 200 bonds issued to pay for the
laying of a third rail over the mar
row gauge Denver and <Rio Grande
Railroad between Pueblo and Trinidad,
Col. The plaintiffs allege the cost
of making this stretch of standard gauge
road was only S466 900 and that the is
sue of 81 900 900 is therefore Illegal.
The suit was. removed on the application
of Sydney Dillon, president of the Texas
and Fort Worth, and Granville Ridge of
the Panhandle Construction Company. :,

Disorimination .lnninst PncEers.

CHICAGO, liz. Dee. 26.-The Chicago
packers claim that they have been dis
eliminated against by the western rail
roads in the adjustment of rates that are
to 20 into effect January / The new
tariffs make a higher rate on live hogs
than on packing house products
from Kansas City and Omaha to
Chicago, thereby giving packers at
Mississippi river points an advantage
over Chicago packers. 1t is claimed that
these two classes of freight should take
the same rate, or that if any difference is
made higher rates should be applied to
live stock shipments. The Chicago
Freight Bureau has taken up the matter,
and will lay complaint before the inter
state commerce commission.
