The Life of Steel Ratis.

A report of much interest on the life of steel rails has just been made by a commission representing the various German railway companies. It records the result of observations extending over period of six years on lines of Holland and Belgium. According to this report. the commission deduces from the cases under it's observations that the durability of steel rail under certain fixed conditions may be reckoned at an average of rhirty-flve years. The conditions presumed arc an annual trat1c of s,430, 900 tons, and minimum and maximum of wear and tear allowed for of LOOT and O.O17 millimetres.
 The commission admits. however, that before reaching this maximum of wear and tear, any rail would probably have to be condemned on account of the roughness of its surface. The figure of 3,40O, ,0OO tons adopted represents the average traffic on the lines of railway throughout Germany, this being equal to twenty-eight passenger and ten goods tranis per diem. There are, of course, exceptional cases which are outside of those from which the average of dura. ton has been assumed. Thus, on the Housinger line, where there are neither steep gradients nor sharp curves, and the use of the brake Is comparatively in- frequent, the wear of the rails amounted to only one millimetre for about 1,OOO.- GOO tons of traffic.
 It will, of course, be recognized that the data employed and the deduction made from them cannot be too rigidly acceptedI but the extended use of steel rails Is of such comparatively recent adoption that any authoritative guide for estimating their durability must prove of very great value to the profes. sion.-The Engineer.

TOO MUCH WHOA!

Street Sweepers Keep Bank Street People Awake.
 People living on Bank street were kept wondering last night whether an old time wagon circus had struck town or some livery stable had broken loose. They were regaled with constant chorus of whoas, get up, back and general horse talk. Sleep was out of the question, and many persons of sensitive nerves prayed earnestly for daylight when the noise of general business traffic would be sweet re- pose in comparison with the pandemonium that prevailed. It was the street sweepers' night on, and they worked it for all it was worth. They gave an example last night of how the thing ought not to be done, and strangers sleeping in the hotels woke up with the impression that they had been resting near q circus all night. They can carry away good impre sson of the lung power of the men chosen to work the sweepers
 But it might not bo q bad thing if the contractor would call down his men and give them to understand that they are hired to sweep the streets, not to keep the people awake. A few more nights like last night will make the people of Bank street sigh for the repose of lunatic asylum.

Williams Is Insane.

Charles Williams, the crazy man, who gave himself up to the Danbury police Thursday night, claiming that he was the firebug underwent another examination yesterday morning and it was proved con- clusively that he was insane and the town authorities notified. The insanity is with out doubt due to the long indulgence in intoxicants and it was decided to lock him up for few days until his delusions were gone and then set him free.

DESTRUCTION OF GARBAGE.

The system by Which All Refuse Is To Be Crematcd.
 The board of health has become interest ed ill new system of disposing of garbage and refuse. The plan is embodied in furnace called the Engle cremator, and consists in reducing the ashes, without any possibility of unsanitary results, garbage of whatever description and no matter in what state of decomposition it may be. Col w. F. Morse, who is travelling through the state for the purpose of ex- plaining the cremator to the authorities, l will be here Monday to meet the board of health i'll reference to the matter. To q reporter Col Morse explained the mode of operation as follows
 The garbage and other offensive sub stances and bodies to be consumed are dumped into the garbage grate and fire l of coal Is made in each of the two fire places at the respective ends of the fur
 mace. The flames from the rear fireplac ce pass over the wet and offensive substances on the grate, driving before them the steam and other gases arising therefrom into the flames above the forward fireplace, where the fires from the two furnaces meet and
 mingle.. As those mingled flames pass backward toward the chimney they intense ly heat the iron floor of the garbage ash pit | and that floor conducts heat upward toward
 the garbage above it, and thus aids in vol
 atilizing the liquid constituents thereof
 The operation continues until the sub stances on the garbage grate are reduced
 to dried condition. There is no possibil-
 ity of offensive odors escaping during the
 operation. The gases that are generated
 by the first fire pass through second fire
 and are themselves consumed. The ere
 mator destroys not only dry matter, but
 wet matter as we'll. The grate retains all
 the dry matter, while the liquid passes
 into pan where it is evaporated Ut the same time as the dry matter. A furnace % feet long, 10 feet high and feet wide will destroy about fifty tons of matter, wet and dry, each day. The cost of fuel is almost nothing. Either wood or coal can be used, and it will not take more than | twenty cents worth of either for every | ton of garbage destroyed. The economy of the process lies in the fact that compar- atively little coal or other fuel is required to start the two fires, the gases and other products from the substances being ere mated complete the process of burning, the substance thus ill great part supplying 1 the fuel for its own destruction

Second Annual Report.

In their second annual report the
Interstate commerce commission say
that outside Of the roads affected
by ocean competition between the At
lautic and Pacific, the long and short haul
clause has been iairly well obeyed.
The commission insists it has no evidence,
in spite OF railr Dad protests, that the law
has been otherwise than beneficial to the
roads abolishing unjust determinations,
no matter how it affected their earnings,
and that it was promotive OF common
Justice and public morality. The Losses OF
1888 were not due to the act. One cause
as the 20" strike. New and parallel
lines materially injured the netrsturns, and
rate wars were very serious. They, how
ever, were not the result OF the act. Amend
ments to the act dealing with unearned
dividends, cut rates and commission, were
proposed.

At the extra session OF the last legisla.
tive assembly, held in September, 1887, d
law was passed exempting the county at
torneys from appearing as counsel for the
Territory in the Supreme Court, and re-
pealing the law in that regard. The bill
SO passed, created the Office OF attorney
general for the Territory, aad prescribed
the duties assigned him. 1t also provided
that the Governor should nominate and
appoint by and with the advice and con-
sent OF the Council. The Governor made
a nomination for that Office in pursuance
OF the provisions of the law, and the same
was rejected by majority OF the Council,
and that body adjourned, leaving the
Office that they had created vacant. The
first term OF the Supreme Court after
the adjournment OF said extra session OF
the legislature was in the early days Of
January, 1883. The public interest
demanded that there should be
an attorney general (since the county
attorneys were exempted) to look
after and attend to the business oi
the Territory pending in that court, and
likely to occur in the after terms oi the
court. Because OF such necessity, hon.

youths OF our Territory, while yet in the

with sin and the evil spirit, cherished and
