A Very Remarkable Railroad.

Probably the most remarka BILE railroad
In the world Is that running from Clog.
gintz to Lounering, near Vienna. 1t Is
only twenty-five miles in length, and cost
over $7,OOO,OOO. 1t begins at the little
station OF Gloggintz, at an elevation Of
l,4Oo feet, and from there the train,
hauled by two powerful locomotives,
winds round and round over some fifteen
double viaducts and through as many
tunnels. 1t creeps along precipices afford
ing glimpses OF some OF the wildsgo
scenery In Europe. Its terminus, Loun-
ering, is at an elevation of $500 feet

Narrow Escape.

On Monday evening an old man
was walking up Main street and fell
into the cellar which has recently
been dug close by the Cracker factory
and was quite badly injured. 1t
seems that no means had been taken
to guard against accident, and the old
gentleman simply walked into the

Attacking Ooverno Hill.

ALBANY, New York, April lin the
senate yesterday q resolution was intro
duced by Senator Fosett, republican, for
the appointment committee to investigate
certaid published charges IN regard to al
legged corruption in the administration Of
some of the departments in the municipal
government of New York City. While the
terms OF the resolution were general, 1t was
understood that the real point of attack
was Governor ill, concerning whose al
legged deal with the acqueduct commission
during the last gubernational canvass the
New York papers had published articles.
The story published was in effect that Gov
ernor Hill had secured q change in the per-
sonel Of the acqueduct commiss ision by
having the mayor and comptroller released
from ex offico service thereon, that the
governor then appointed his political
friends to these vacancies, with the result
that the firm of O'Bren & Clarke, contrac-
tors, were enabled to secure q contract for
section of the new acdqueduct though
they were the highest bidders, and that
they sublet it to another competing firm
ut q profit of $4,000; that O'Brien Il
Clarke, and o. Brien ind ividually endorsed
Governor Hills notes for 1900 to be
spent during late gubernatorial campaign,
and John keenan, the boodler now
in Canaua discounted one of them
and that the governors campaign
bills were paid out OF the acqueduct con-
tract.
The resolution in the senate caused a
heated debate in that body to-day, in
which personal charges of campaign and
legislative corruption were freely tossed
back and forth between friends and enemies
of the &C government. The resolution was
fnally adopted. unanimously, and one of
thu d IN cratic members gave..notice that he
would introduce a resolution to investigate
charges of corruption in the electoral can
vases OF certain members of the state sen
ate, and as to the use OF money in the SEN
ate itself, and in the last two elections Of
United States senators.
Governor Hill made a statement to the
associated press reporter this morning In
regard to matters charged against him. Ne
said that the near close Of the campaign of
1880 the democratic state committee APP
pealed to him to aid them. In connection
with certala other democrats he drew two
notes ageregating $4,000, which he gave
them. They were discounted and the
money used in the legitimate work of the
campaign. When they were due they were
paid.
Various well known democrats contrib
u lag the money. Governor Hill declared
that this attack on him was instigated by
the quar- antine officials of New York, Of
which department. Ex-senator T. G. Pratt
is head. The governor declares he has
nothing to conceal in the matter.

THE OLD AFFECTION.

Down comes the whirling, drifting uow,
And hides the frozen earth from view;
One last tuft OF grass still through
Ths deep'ning mass sways TO and fro
Old tenant, buried now by new.
Alone, today, In this old house,
watch the storm, with head bent low;
And see with saddened eyes, there grow
Around that tuft which cold winds rouse,
Dread symbol Of q promised WOO.
Dear friend, my thoughts fly out to you,
And frame this wish that burns me 20;
Keep ever for me as go,
The old affection; still be true
10 one whose love no change can know.

How to Keep tho Feet Warm.
Feet may be kept warm in almost an,
weather and with any covering. The
method known to old lumbermen should
be more generally employed, and would
probably save many a frozen foot.
Take two punches Of common curled
hair as large as the closed fist of the per-
son whose feet are TO be kept warm. A
little liberality in the quantity viii do no
harm. Pull this out and make pad
large enough to cover the sole of the foot
from heel to toe. II must be pulled out
light and free from Jumps and punches.
Put one OF these pads In each stocking
pext the foot. The quantity OF hair
must depend to some extent on the
looseness of the shoe. But whether
much or little is used, the object
Is to cover the sole Of the foot only with
hair, and prevent the foot from coming in
top will then take care of themselves.
The writer has successfully used bunch
Of hair less than the bulk OF the fingers
Of one hand. SO small q quantity Is
likely to be full Of Jumps, and does not
we'll protect the foot; yet 1t prevents the
foot from becoming cold enough to ache.
II curled hair Is not to be had, that
which can he combed from the name and

Hopes for Conkling.

New YORK, April 1l.--What was
thought to be the turning point in ex-
Senator Conkling's condition came
this morning at 6; 20 o'clock. While
suffering from one of his periodical at
tacks of delirium Mr.. Conkling paced
up and down the sick chamber. After
ten minutes he became exhausted and
once more sank in bed. 1t was not
long until he was fast asleep. His ply
clans SAID that much depended upon
the condion OF their case when he
woke and they were on the tip-toe Of
expectation. DIR. Baker called at the
patio t's residence 9:1O o'clock and
found his patient resting peace
fully. The doctor felt his pa
TENTS pulse and said it was more regu-
lar than it had been for several days.
Just then Conkling awoke and cor
daily shock hands with the physicians
who at once asked him if he would
not like some soothing medicine. The
sufferer promptly replied in the aflirma-
tive and as promptly took the medi-
cine. Subseq uently DIR, Baker, in the
form OF an official bulletin, announced
to members of the press that Mr.. Conk-
ling was beginning to recover. "Mark-
ell change for the BETTER" he added,
"has taken place during the night"
STOKES SURPRISED.
Edward S. Stokes visited Conkling
at 10 o'clock. When Stokes came out
be said IL never was more sur
prised in my life than to see such i'm.
provement in the condition Of Conk-
ling yesterday, / believed he would
not recover aud sent. kilograms to that
effect. To-day he was sitting up in
bed and recognized me.
DOUBTFUL.
Afterward DIR. Barker said al don't
think the patient is as strong as he
way this morning. He took some
milk and Is now sleeping quietly, but
has lost considerable ground. There
is still some hope for his recovery un-
less complications in the region of the
mastir sets in" A reporter in con-
versation with prominent physician,
who does not want his name publish
ed, learned some new facts. The
physician said "Conkling, i; he had
mastid trouble alone, the pus having
been removed, would recover, but il he
had meningitis also, he would die"
In view of this statement the repor-
ter asked DIR. Barker # Conkling had
meningitis. The doctor said: There
is tendency that way, and should it
run into meningitis it would be only
a matter of twenty-four hours"
