OF the 2,04l criminal cases reported, 1,432
arrests were made, sixty-fve per cent. OF
which were convicted and forty per cent. Of
these were colored persons. Servants form a
considerable proportion of the arrested, there
being arrested cooks, fifty-seven; coachmen,
thirteen; porters, thirty-one; servants, 1876;
q total OF 1877. or sever per cent. Of the en-
tire years cases. There were 1873 persons ar
rested for carrying concealed weapons, fifty
six white and 1877 colored
Chief Clerk Richard Sylvester in reporting
on the return of weapons taken from pris-
oners says that "during the year past the re-
turn of weapons taken from persons carrying
them concealed has largely increased, and as
no provision is made for The coniiscation OF
this class OF goods, l have deemed 1t to the
best interest OF the Department and the COM
munity TO withhold the return of firearms to
the vicious class from whom they were taken
despite their protestations."
He recommends that the law be changed so
that such weapons may be coniiscated.

THE SPEED OF TRAINS.

Against Engineers.
Officer Rather had Engineer James Bentley
In the Police Court this morning for running
his train over the b. and o. Road inside the
city limits faster than twelve miles an hour.
He Jimed the train from Sixth street north
east to Fifth, ninety-three yards, and 1t took
only six seconds 10 make the distance, at the
rate Of about twenty-nine miles an hour. The
engineer and Conductor Griffith said that
they came from Hyattsville TO the Boundary in
six minutes and from the Boundary to the
depot In five minutes, which would be about
twelve miles an hour.
Judge Miller said that as the policeman's
testimony was uncorroborative he would dis.
miss the case, He recommended that to make
future cases OF this kind the policeman should
measure off a certain distance and stand al
one end himself and have some one else at the

"THE PINK OF THE ROAD

Tsan Francisco correspondence of the New York
San, February 10th, 1888
When it comes to long distance rail-
reading, runs of 1900 miles and upward,
the roads of the far West beat the world;
but for shorter distances, say thousand
miles, the great roads of the East excel.
To ride over the Pennsylvania Chicago
Limited from New York to Chicago is to
take the cream of American railroading,
and that means the very best in the world.
The train, as il stands ia the station at
Jersey City, is evidently something that
the road is proud of. The engine is big
The engineer is that kind Of an engi-
neer who starts a train as gently as a
mother rocks cradle, but who, as you
will discover when you get there, takes
you through the country on the schedule
time. When the conductor says the "All
aboard p the porters at the car entrances
say "All off that's going" as The officer
at the gang plank of an ocean steamer
says "All ashore that's going" just be-
fore the steamer starts. Those who have
come to see friends off look at them
through the broad windows as the train
none the less ardently admiring railroad
men, look below at every truck and wheel
and journal box, not because it Is neces-
sary, for the train has already been in
spectsd, but they like 10 look at the train
and to be sure again that the blossomed
pink of the road is in perfect trim for an
other 1000 miles run in twenty -four
hours.

they are beautiful and luxurious. You
may meet on any big road in any part of
the country cars as beautiful and perhaps
quite as comfortable. but here is whole
train of luxury. The vestibules between
not discover under foot where the plat
forms come together, aud the carpeted
way is lighted by centre light ovei head.
In the smoking room are big, comforta-
bly, upholstered wicker chairs, with broad,
easy backs and restful arms. Books il
you want to read. Cabinets of brio a.
brac, not too profuse. Rooms in which
you may play cards; electric bells that
will call porter, who will fetch Apolli-
naris water, or maybe stronger waters in
emergency. Electric lights everywhere.
had neglected TO get shaved, but the
barber shop on the train afforded comfort
able opportunity. 1t takes pretty fair
sort of man to shave another on rail-
road train at forty or fifty miles an hour,
but he can do it, though it is not quite so
easy as to shave a man on steamer
However good the road aud the rolling
stock may be, cars will sway; but the
barber establishes gentle but firm union
OF himself, the chair, and the patient, so
that all move together, aud the thing is
done. You may take bath on the train
If you wish to do so. In tho dining car
the linen is fine, the food is satisfactory,
and the flowers in the brackets ON the
sides of the car over the ends of the tables
are fragrant and beautiful, and when you
get to Chicago you wonder what has be-
come of the twenty four hours.

The New Jersey Master stroke.

The New York Independent, in
some comments on the High Incense
bill, says: 1.-THE credit belongs solely
TO the Republican party. 1t made the
bill practically caucus measure when
its fate hung in doubt. 1t passed it
against the all but solid protest of the
Democratic members. 1t passed it over
the veto in the face of the refusal of the
third party State Convention to recog-
nize or approve it. The third party
would not even pledge itself TO help in
the enforcement of the law. The Re
publican party can stand alone for prac-
tical temperance. The Democratic par
ty, as party, will not help it, but hun
dreds OF lifelong Democrats will. The
third party will not help it, but scores
and hundreds of the third party voters
will. Neither of these parties can pre-
vent that, try they ever SO hard. In the
end the Republican party will win
against Democrats, against third party
partisans, against brewers, distillers,
and the whole armies of saloon-keepers.
1t has dared to do right, and 1t will win
because it deserves to win.
