Then the boy dashed across the street,
meeting the sw ell midway and splashing into
puddle of muddy water with rush that
sent the nasty mixture flying over the boots
and trousers of his victim OF course the

his indignation the boy was out of reach and

spattered victim reached the sidewalk.

Report of the 90" Road.

Boston, March 10. The annual re-
post of the c., b. & @. road for 1888, as
compared with the year previous,
shows decrease in gross earnings of
SO, 1877 900; increase in expenses, $2,-
7S5, 900; decrease In net earnings, ST.
26l 900, and increase in debt of IS, $780,
900. The miscellaneous income was
reduced by re son of the strike on the
Hannibal & st. Joe and Council Bluffs
roads, to that they returned no divi-
dend to the c., B. & O., while in 'S7
they paid $4,000. The directors say
they chief causes of the falling off in
net revenue from oppositions of the
road was the strike. There has been a
diversion of traffic to other roads and
decline in rates. The decline in rates
has been due to the difficulty of self
regulation among railroads without
the right to pool which was taken away
by the interstate commerce law. The
increase in expenses is due to the
operation of the new mileage which
was unproductive and to the strike.

Changes I'm Stoves

An unproflta BILE condition of the stove man
ufacturing bu iness is induced by the prac,
tice of adding to the size or capacity of a
stove, to its beauties its embellishments, OF
to Its conveniences, without also making O
corresponding increase in the pricea One
firm will try to make its standard goods
more desirable by enlarging the oven an inch
another will aod a foot rail, another an extra
nickel plate attraction or more costly urn
another shelves or kettle racks, q nickel
poker or litter, and 80 on. Each, Of course,
adds something to the cost. This has become
so prevalent that in the past few years
stoves, instead Of being articles of mere use
and convenien ce, plainly and cheaply made,
have become OBJECTS Of art, extensively pro
duced, while the prices, relative to the former
cost Of mater ais, labor and contingent ex-
penses, have practically remained without
any adequate increase. = Interview in st.

Fred j. Leland. Who Has Cheated in
Seven States, Arrested.
Vassar, Mich, March 10. Fred j.
Leland sold bill of goods to III. l..
Dean, local hardware man, and was
afterward identified by Mr.. Dean at
the bank where he drew an order on
the Eckstein White Lead company Of
Cincinnati for $75. The order was
dishonored because that firm/had no
knowledge of Leland. The company
put detective on Leland's track and
caught him in gainesville, O., a few
days ago. Upon this another officer
with warrant for Leland for forgery
in Bowling Green took him away from
the Michigan officer. Since then many
warrants have appeared and it appears
that he has been known for many
years as "the white lead swindler."
So extensive were his operations few
years ago that the white lead and paint
makers of the country joined in a cir
cular warning the trade against him.
1t Is alleged that he is wanted for SIM
liar offenses in New York, Ohio, Mich
igan, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and
Iowa. He has been known as Leland,

half dozen other names

IMPORTANT CABINET MEETING.
An Illinois Postmaster Considered by

Washington, March 10. One of the
matters considered at the cabinet meet

postmaster, whose removal was asked
by one of the Illinois congressman, be-
cause of the postmaster's political
activity. 1t was admitted by the con-

aged and the matter was called to the
attention of the cabinet for reason that
the action taken in this case might
constitute precedent hereafter.
Postmaster General Wanamaker said
tonight he did not feel at liberty to
talk about what took place at the
cabinet meeting. There is reason to
believe, however, the result was to the
wishes of the Illinois congressman, but
it is not known whether any fixed time
of action in cases of this kind was de-
termined upon, -.
