QUICK RETURNS.
The Leap Year Medicine is Working like
q Charm.


Charm
The effects of the recent Leap Year en-
tertainments have already begun to APP
pear. At one of these, two rival suffers
who had beseiged the heart of fair and
tickle maiden, came forward and insisted
on the lady making choice between
them. Her reply was worthy of a
dweller in the age Of chivalry, il anybody
can tell when that was. She told them
she had intended to propose marriage to
ono or the other that night, but tia:
finding herself at the last moment una
BILE to choose between them, there was
no other way but for them to decide the
matter by "wager of battle"
The two now excited contestants
agreed to this, and, repairing to a con-
venient and secluded spot, they pro-
ceeded to pummel each other according
to the Marquis of Queensbury rules-as
they understood them-the result being
two badly swelled heads and the same
number of arrests.
The sequel is as might have been ex
PCStco-thC tAiCooC inc
and the wedding bells will ring out their
merry peals next week.
Another case of similar, though not as
bloody results, occurred at the same
time, a formal proposition having been
made by lady to one whom she had
long hoped would speak for himself.
The victim accepted the situation, con-
sidered the hopelessness of his position
the incident occurred in the depths of
Osceola's dungeon in the Old Portland
surrendered at discretion. The final
event will occur some time before the
end of the month.
Two cases of like import and results
are said to have occurred during the en-
joyments of the Leap Year hops at Arm
DRY Hall on Tuesday night, one of the
happy bachelors having rushed out and
purchased a ring to clinch the bargain,
for fear his fair one might relent.
Still another similar incident occurred
on the occasion of the hop at the opening
of Howatt's Hall, on Bridge street Mon
| day night.
Things is a workin," as one OF the in
terested parties sagely remarked, and the
rest of the old bachelors had better take
flight if they want to save themselves.

shows that the greater part of this pro-
digious increase of railways has taken
place in a few far Western States.
New England and New York con-
tribute scarcely anything to the grand
total. The great Middle States add very
little, and the additions in the Southern
States are not as large as many antici-
pated, although Alabama presents fine
record, with over 800 miles; Georgia
adds 23O miles, Florida nearly 200 and
Kentucky and North Carolina each a
little less than that.
The Northwestern States. including
Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota,
have shown very considerable activity,
but the great rush of railway building
has been in the central belt west of the
Missouri. Kansas leads, with the total
of 2,01O miles. Nebraska comes next,
with 1,101 miles, almost equaled by
Texas, with l ,055 miles.
Then in order come the following:
Colorado, SIS; Dakota, ECO; Michigan,
700: Montana, GIG; Missouri, 554; Indian
Territory, 400, and so on.
Four States and two Territories,
namely, Kansas, Texas, Nebraska, Color
ado, Dakota and Montana, together
show an addition of over g, 400 miles, or
about one-half of the entire years MILE
age of the country.
through comparatively level country. re-
quiring but little grading and bridging.
but on the other hand many of the lines
have been costly, for example-those
over the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.
the Southern Pacific extension in North
ern California, the Atchison, Kansas and
Chicago extension, the Northern Pacific
work in the Cascade Mountains and 9TH
ers. Moreover several of the companies
have purchased costly terminal facili-
ties in large cities, while nearly all have
made extensive purchases of equipment.
1t is probably fair TO assume that the
total cost of roadway, bridges, station
buildings, terminal facilities and equip
ments of these new lines averaged x2j,-
900 per mile, at which rate il appears
that not far from $685.. 900 600 have been
expended on the lines completed during
the year. The money which has thus
been expended has temporarily EN-
ployed a large army of workmen, and
has also furnished permanent employ
ment to another great army, probably
aggregating 5000 persons.
The railway mileage Of the United
States at the commencement of 1887 was
stated to be 1877 $50 miles. The extern
sion for the year here recorded increases
| it to $50, 40 miles.

Railway Building i'm the United
States.
Railway Age.


The year lSS. has surpassed all other
years in the extent of railway mileage
constructed in the United States. When
six months ago the prediction was made
in these columns that the total new mile
age for the year would not he less than
~, 600 miles, with the likelihood of sur
passing the record of 1882, the year OF
greatest railway construction in the
history of the country, 1t was not gener-
ally believed. But the figures, obtained
by careful investigation throughout the
year and confirmed by official informa-
ton, prove the prediction to have been
more than warranted. Our returns
show that during 1887 no less
than 12,724 miles of new main
line track were added to the rail-
way system of the United States, no ac-
count being taken in this of the hun
dreds of miles of side track built nor of
the thousands OF miles of main line re-
laid.
While the search has been unusually
thorough, and the totals corroborate the
record kept from week to week, it is not
improbable that some scattering
additions may yet be received, 50 that II
is safe TO say that during 1887 nearly
il not quite 1900 miles of new main
line track were constructed. When in
1882, during a period Of extraordinary
activity, 1I.56S miles of new road
were built, it was generally believed
that these figures would not again be
equalled. In the following year, 1888,
the new construction fell to TAI miles,
in 1854 to 3, SIS, and in 1885 to J, Cos miles.
The year 1856 witnessed q considerable
revival of activity, and 3, 600 miles OF new
road were built, = greater mileage than
in any previous year with the exception
Of 1881 and 1852, and now 1887 has wit
messed the building OF more miles OF
railway than 1886 and 1885 combined,
and not less than 1885, 1884 and 1883 to
sether.
