On the train this afternoon, returning
from the barbecue, Governor Gordon, Com
mander of the Association of Confederate

occurred. Mr.. McCard. a we'll known
aud wealthy farmer in that vicinity, was
driving one horse TO road cart and lead.
ing behind 1t another. The led

turned around and slapped the animal
several times to keep him back. Finally

He made rush for Mr.. McCsrd. caught
him by the night arm and, with a vicious
toss. flung him clear over his head, upon
his own back and finally onto the ground.
The horse was furious, and chewed at
the mans srm until it was crushed out Of

the attack finally got away by putting
his boot in the horses mouth and prying
and kicking his jaws open. The horse
did not renew the attack. and McCsrd

putated above the elbow. but the terrible
trsmpling that was given the man by the

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. III. A. Taylor,
commissioner Of railr Dads, in his annual re-
port To Secretary Noble says that the past
year has not been prosperous one for the
railroads, especially in the west, where he
attributes the depression in railway business
to several sue essive years of partial crop
failures. The commissioner says that rate
wars are in most cases devoid Of palliation
or excuse AMI are inaugurated without
reasonable causs. IL do not agree he says,
with the claim 50 persistently made by
railroad managers, their organs AMI satel-
lites, that the recent losses sustained in rail-
road business ara mainly due to the restrict
i've laws which have Of late been enacted by
Congress and ia many Of the western states !"
He considers that there is surplus of rail-
road mileage in many sections, and especially
IN Kansas and Iowa, and that many of the
roa Is in those states will not yiel remune-
rative dividends Tor soms time 20 come.
Mr.-Walker further says: "In some states,
notably in Iowa, il is undoubtedly true that
laws have heen enforced which are unjust
Cwsrd the railroads, and injurious to the
public interests, aud which ought to be
speedily modified or repealed"
The Pacific Railways
Taking up the question Of the Pacific rail-
ways, Commissioner Taylor discusses the
best means of securing the government the
money the roads owe it, ami at the same
time So fixing the rates and time as not 10
cripple the railways "Tme is OF small i'm
portance compared with security in the al
justment Of these matters says the com
missioner. at is very clear to my judgment
that there should be AN extension of time
and a reduction in the rate of interest
Ii Is my opinion that il would be
wise to pass an act giving a reasonable ex-
tension OF time; reducing the rate of interest

it did not dismay the government officials,

by Natalie in no other light than as compli-

sion To so publicly evince her detestation OF
Madame Christich and her appreciation OF
the kings lack of decency IN bringing his
mistress into the presence OF his wife that
