Four millions behind.

CHICAGO, July 9.-The Burlington is tav-
ing hard time to make both ends meet.
It's statement of net earnings fol. the month
of May, which came to light yesterday,
showed decrease of 100000, and for
the first five months of 1888 the loss
compared with the corresponding period
last year reaches the astounding total of
s4,194, 172. Never in the history of Western
railroads has such disastrous record been
made by big railway corporation in so
short time. The causes of the Burling-
toms unfortunate condition are short crops
last year, reduced rates, and the great en-
gineers' strike, which cost the company
enormously and is not entirely settled yet.

Driver a Fright.
William Klovoske, arag-dealer, met with
a curious accident at Appleton. He was
driving along in covered wagon with a
load of rags and miscellaneous waste when
suddenly it was noticed that the outfit was
on fire. The proprietor rushed into a

after some trouble the incipient confagra-
ton was put down. During the morning
Mr.. Klovoske had made a trade by virtue
of which he had become the possessor of a
small secondhand stove The same was
thrown into the wagon and rags and other
materials as purchased were cast on top of
it. In future Mr. Klovoske will carry his
stoves On the front seat, where they must
needs be on their good behavior.
