Ilallroad Tranlc for Johnstown.

PTTTsBURG. June 1.-THE Pennsyl-
vania and Baltimore and Ohio railroads
have made remarkable progress in re-
pairing damages. The Baltimore and
Ohio is sending provisions to Johnstown
on every train that departs. The trains
from the east on this road are all de-
layed, for the reason that those from
Baltimore. Washington, New York,
Philadelphia and other points are SO
heavily laden with extra cars containing
freight for Johnstown that they cannot
make anything like their schedule time,
and at the superintendent office Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad it was
learned that more freight is now being
shipped from the east for Johnstown
than from Pttsburg. The Baltimore
and Ohio. in addition to handling a
large portion Of the passenger traffic Of
the Pennsylvania railroad'to the east is
also carrying q great quantity Of its
freight.

DANGEROUS TOYS.
Judge Miller Severe, n Parents who Give
Air Guns to Tneir Children.

This afternoon in the Police Court Judge
Miller made some sharp comments on parents
who gave their young children such presents
a. air guns and parlor rifles at Christmas or any
other time. He said there ought to be Q law
furnishing such parents and the penalty
should be severe. The remarks were made in
the case Of three small boys named Newton
Hodgkins, James Talbert and Walter Talbert.
who were charged with assaulting another
small boy named Joseph Bateman. The boys
live in the vicinity of Scott avenue in the
county. Hodgkins purchased an air gun Christ
mas eve and on Christmay day he
SHOT BArEMAN IN THE HEAD
with il. If the bullet had been detected half
an inch the Bateman boy would have been
killed. The prosecution claimed that one Of
the Talbert boys said, .'now you've got him"
and the other said, ''give II to him." The
Hodgkin boy claimed that he met the other
boys near the pump aud he was shooting at
the bottom Of the wall, when be accidentally
shot Bateman. The other boys corroborated
him and also denied having used the language
attributed to them.
Judge Miller denounced in strong terms the
practice Of parents permitting their children
TO carry dangerous weapons. and said that IL
the air gun had been given to Hodgkins by his
parents he would make them pay fine. He
imposed fine Of ESQ on each Of the defend
ants and suspended execution Of sentence dur

JAPAN'S TREATIES.
Her People Averse to Letting For
eigners Come Into the Realm.


CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-A. c. Read, a prominent
merchant Of Yokohama, is in the city on his
way to New York. Talking of japanese affairs
Mr.. Read says the only agitation there now is
the excitement caused by wide opposition to
the proposed revision of the treaties with
European and American powers. The most
general opposition is caused by the proposed
concession that foreigners may 60 anywhere,
reside in any place in the empire or own land
or engage In any business. The larger part OF
the empire still retains much repugnance to
the admission of foreigners.
Mr.. Read further said that through the re-
vision of the treaties there will be an imme-
diate increase in the duties of the imperial
tariff on imports. While the advance now
talked of is not great it may suffice for the res
toration Of many industries now supposed to be
dead Another gain is the abolition of extra
territorial jurisdiction within five years after
the ratification. The assumption by foreign
nations of the right TO exercise jurisdiction
over the subjects resident in japan has been a
source of constant injustice to the Japanese.
show that their jurisdiction constitutes almost
an entire immunity for foreigners of certain
natiOnalities to wrong their japanese neigh
bors. Nearly all the punishments inflicted
have been greatly disproportionate to the Of
Tense. Not long ago an Englishman coldly
murdered an inoffensive Japanese. He re-
ceived the small sentence of five years in prison.
He should have been hanged.
By the new treaties this jurisdiction will
cease at those ports where it exists in five
years. In place of it there is to be mixed court
of japanese and foreign judges, which will
have Jurisdiction over all cases arising from
conflicts between foreigners and natives. The
Japanese have seen SO much Of consular juris-
diction that the whole arrangement is distaste-
full to them.

SUING FOR A NEWSPAPER,
Gen. Brady Wants the Courts to Re-
store the "Critico to Him.

Gen. Thomas ]. Brady has, by Nessrs F. W.
Jones and N. Dumont, fled bill in equity
against Stlson Hutchins, Hallet Kibourn and
the Evening Critic publishing company, the
Washington Critic, the Evening Post company
and the Washington Critic company, asking for
an accounting injunction, the appointment of
receiver and to rescind the sale and transfer.
Gen. Brady says that the Evening Critic pub
fishing company was incorporated prior to
April g. 1885, and at that date it was a valuable
property, having good circulation and patron
age and was solvent; but it was pressed for
money to LAY debts aggregating nearly $4,000
for which he (B.) was liable, owning the larger
portion of the stock and having control and
management of the corporation prior to this He
states, Messrs. Hutchins and Kilbourn made a
number of propositions to purchase his stock
and interest, and in these hey stated that the
sale would be subjected to the indebtedness.
He states that the negotiations eliminated by
the transfe April 6, 1885, OF the within prop
erty, including the payment of the debt and
cash payment of $4,000 by Mr.. Hutchins. A
paper was given that complainant was to be
held harmless for all Indebtedness due from
the Evening Critic publishing company, which
was guaranteed by him (B.) not to exceed
$1,000. This was signed by Hutchlns
and by Kilbourn. He states the
new owners took possession. but
have not kept complainant harmless
OF the Indebtedness, but he has been harrassed
aud Judgments obtained against him by
creditors which Hutchns and Kilbourn have
refused to pay. He further charges that
Hutchins and Kilboprn are now negotiating a
sale or in some way to incumber the same for
their own uses and purposes and, ii successful,
he will be unable to ,recover. &c. He charges
that in view Of their failure he is entitled to
have the contract of sale set aside and offers to
repay the $40. 900 paid TO him and he asks that
the property be returned to him.

IS 1T THE REAL THING?
New York Doctors Taking Counsel To-
gether Over the Grip.

NEW YoRx. Dec. 27.-Ths doctors have not
yet agreed - to whether the real Russian grip
has taken hold Of New York or how the similar
complaints here should be treated. But they
are all agreed on one point namely. that the
arrival of the alleged grip is coincident with
. remarkable increase in the number Of deaths
from pneumonia.
Whether the grip" develops into pneumonia
or promotes its advance, or whether its preva-
lence and the spread Of pneumonia are purely
condolences the board of health 10 not pre-
pared to say officially. DR.. Edson thinks, how
ever, there Is more than a coincidence. Last
week there were ninety-fve deaths from pneu-
monis, figure almost unprecedented in
the health department. record. The figures
for this week cannot be obtained yet, but it
will be more than a hundred II the recent rate
of advance is maintained.
Many prominent physicians were before the
board today to give their experience and their
opinions of the new nalady. None had seen
causes in which all the symptoms of
the European article were present
they were generally Of the opinion that the
real "grip" was not here. Other doctors who
appeared before the board in last the few days
thought differently. The physicians of the
board also disagree. In the meantime the
grip" or whatever 1t may be is fastening its
clutches on the city.

TARIFF LEGISLATION.


The ways and means committee arc rushing

ready to report tariff bill BY the FIRST of Feb
ruary. The hearing nov in progress Is going
over much of the old ground. The general in
dication. from the line Of discussion and the
questions asked by the majority Of the CON-
mitsee and those who appear before them, is that
they intend 10 work with the Senate bill Of the
last Congress - . basis. and that they will
keep pretty close 10 its provisions
in the measure they report They will prob
ably make at least as great, II not q greater,
cut in the duty on sugar. They will not take
on less than ffty per cent Of the duty, and all
the duty may be taken on and large bounty
be given In its place. II 10 probable that there
will be almost az many increases a. reductions
In import duties, the effort being directed more
toward equalization Of protection than to re-
duction OF revenue from that source. The rev.
enue reductions will come from the sugar and
the internal revenue on tobacco.
The argument made before them TODAY for
increased duty on tin plates, TO encourage the
manufacture in this country, set forth that tin
plates could be made here as well as anyw here
II the manufacture were given a start. and that
the ultimate result would be 40 cheap or
cheaper product than from abroad.
number of the members are in favor OF
this increase OF duty, and il 10 likely that the
new bill will provide for it.
