Immense Freight Business Done by ths
Road at Present.

SOhu AT Efe5ents
BALTIMORE, December 9.-"Baltimors
aud Ohio freight receipts at Locust Point
and Mount Clare terminals, Friday, 10.
cluded 600 cars with 10000 tons of coal,
and 400 cars with quarter Of a million
bushels Of COAL" said General Manager
Odell to-day. This week between SIX
thousand and seven thousand carloads OF
freight have been brought to Baltimore, OF
which portion went through, of course.
Corn receipts average about two hundred
car loads Of say one hundred and twenty
thousand bushels per day. Freight has
been moving with celebrity this week, and
there is not, nor has there been, block
ade on the Baltimore and Ohio, although
We are full OF business everywhere.
Last Sundays freight movement from
Cumberland wss not intended to break o
blockade, but to send an accumulation oi
freight to its destination. Whether
another such large movement will BIS
necessary next Sunday will depend upon
the condition Of the.Company's terminals
at the close of this week. Last week The
South Baltimore Car Works turned oul
seventy-two freight cars, which were com
meDced at the lumber pile and completed
throughout to the painting and number.
ing, This is an average output of twelve
new cars for each working day. Orders
come from railroads in different parts oi
the country, and the establishment is Iun'
ming at full capacity"
Indications are that the pretentiOus title
of Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Rail
way will not be limited TO the 200 miles Of
railway known heretofore as the Cincin'
natl, Washington and Baltimore. The
Baltimore and Ohio wants to stretch out
into the Southwest, and will not fulfill its
destiny until its own lines reach St. Louis
and probably beyond.

Richard Keating Knocks Out Edward
Oorry In Twenty-thTee Rounds.
LAFAYETTE, IND, December 29.-One
of the gamiest glove fights ever fought in
Indiana began this morning at 7:45 o'clock
in pasture in Boone county. Between
400 and 500 persoDs witnessed the battle.
The principals were Richard Heating, of
this city, who has never lost fight, and
Edward CORY, of fOrawfordsville. a novice,
who to-day proved himself pugil-
ist. The men were evenly matched in
weight-1S5 pounds-and height. Ia the
first round CORY received several stinging
upper cuts, but got in heavily on Kest-
iDg's ribs, and won the frat knock down
by landing a corker on Keating's mouth.
1t was hammer and tongs lmost con;in-
uousIy from that time on on, CORY having
the best of it. In round fifteen Keat-
ing went 10 grass three times by
blows over the heart. Cautious sparring
followed, and in the tweuty-third round
Heating touched CORY lightly on the nose
with his left hand and swung his right
Just below the left ear 1t was the decisive
blow; CORY was Knocked out clean and
completely. The purse amounted to $3.50.

TBE LONG TUNNEL.

Work Expected to be Oommenc d on II
To-Day.
The "lOug tunnel" as Il is known, will

1t.
The order has been sent forth, snd the
contractors. Messrs. Paige, Carey & Co,
ara to begin wcrkas soon as possible 1t is
understood that the first blast will be
made to-day, and the opening will be COM
menced.
Col. Bissell said last evening to REG
IsTRR man:
"We have ordered the contractors to 60
ahead, and as soon as they can get their
scattered forces together they will do so.
That tunnel is to 90 through the hill as
fast AS the contractors can put 1t through,
and l anticipate that will not be very long
"Of course the past week has been kind
Of an of week, and the forcfs have become
somewhat scattered, and it will require
some little time to get them together and
in coed working trim. | had hopes that
the would ge. started Saturday and /
went over to the scene Of the work TO see
what they were doing, but, you know,
there ia a great deal of trouble and delay
connected with such work, aud they had
not commenced the work yet. However,
haven't much to do With that part of the
work, and csnnot say much about it. D."
Judge r. H. Cochran, Eogineer Abbott,
Rssident Engineer Dunham and Mr.. Ca
rey, of the firm Of Page, Carey & Co., are
ali oat of town, and so but little informa-
tion could be CLEANED, although il is un-
derstood that the work is now in progress;
that the entrance to the tunnel has been
marked off on the face Of the rock, about
fifty yards west of the Whitaker mill Of
fee, and that the first blast will be made
to-day.
1t will be remembered that the company
has made arrangements to come around
the hill on the inside of the Whitaker
mill, aud have expended good sum in
making the road-bed through that way.
What stone was taken out was used in
the Coal run culvert, and much OF it was
used at other places.
1t is now learned that the road will be
run on the outside of the mill, so that a
good curve can be made into the tunnel.
This will necessitate the building of stone
wall along the creek bank for some dis
tance, and the probabilities are that some
other important changes will be made in
the line. If the present weather CONTINUES
for few weeks the men will be far enough
into the tunnel TO escape the effects Of the
cold weather and the work will continue
diligently all winter.

LA GRIPPE'S GRIP.
The Insinuating Way in Which 1t Takes Hold
Of NAn-Dr Bartholomew Describes
the Disease and Its Treatment.
Spreading Daily.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, December %
The Medical Nelos, Of this city, in its issue
yesterday published an exhaustive article
on iDfuenzA-'la grippe"-by Professor
Robert Bartholomew, of Jefferson Medical
College. After giving an historical sketch
of the disease, its pathology and morbid
anatomy the author says:
"IbAuenza comes suddenly; goes as
quickly. The least robust, at any age,
and women seem TO be the first victims.
1t is here question of bodily condition,
not OF the sex. The large numbers stimuli
taneously attacked attract general at
tention, and those most impressionabls
are seized, the onset being facilitated by
any depressing emotion like fear of illnes,.
There is no rigor, properly to be thus des-
ignated, but rather series Of light chills
and feeling of heat Herewith. Some
times malaise of a general kind lie expert
enced, hut, like the attack itself, is short
10 durstion-lastiDg but few hours
with the first access OF the nasal and
faucial irritation comes the chilliness,
which is followed by some feverishness,
with more pronounced mdldiSe, and in geu-
erGl the headache, weakness and soreness
of the members, especially Of the larger
joints. With the progress of the case in
some epidemics there is considerable gen.
eral weakness, even marked depression Of
the vital powers. The pulse becomes small
and weak, the mind gloomy, and restless
ness ensues.
"When fatal termination is TO occur,
as rule an extension downward into the
tracbea and bronchi takes place. AL
though catarrhal and croupous pneumonia
are said to be complications, they shou d
be regarded as occasional conditions, and
when present are, properly speaking, con-
stituted parts of the malsdy.
"The best manner Of securing immunity
is by the inhalation of sulphurous acid
gas daily when the approach of the epi-
demic renders ii necessary, and by taking
five grains of salicylate of cinchonidine
threa times day, and by 80 living as TO
avoid taking cold. When the attack has
begun it seems to me desirable TO give one
or two grains of calOmel at night, inhAle
some sulphurous acid gas, and have the
patient sit in a room where steam contain
ing cucalyptol can be inhaled in
large quantity. The insuffilatiOn Of
resorcin by dustipg over the
entire area of affected parts so far as prac-
ticable is also recommended.
"The internal remedy most desirable is
atropins in solution-one grain to one
ounce of waier-dOse being from one 20
five drops, the minimum being for little
children (after first dentitiOp). The tine
ture of belladonna may be used, from one
to ten drops twice day. As this mtdica'
ment is both prompt and prolonged ip
action it should be given not more than
twice day, unless the dose be much
smaller than is advised above.

The Battle Between Algsr and President

NEW YORK, December 29-The Herald
says: IL may be accidental, but it il a
queer coincidence that just when Alger,
tue Wolverine, comes out of the Michigan
woods the President slips down the
Potomsc 70: few days. indulgence in the
tame sport If duck hunting. Pension
Commissioner Green B. Rsum gets sick
and takes to his bed, but Corporal Tan
me- stumps it around ss though there was
something on the stocks.
You wouldn't suppose this, though
if you were to hear General Al
GERS friends talk. They explain that be
will just drop into Washington for a day
os two on HIS way back from the South.
The President was evidently misled into
the belief that General Alger was making
straight for. Washington, while he is
swinging around q circuit which won't
bring him here for week yet. You
might think it stranga that Thomas G.
Plstt is to meet the Wolverine at Chat
tanooga, and be his travelling companion.
Not at all. You see the Michigan lum-
herman is iotereseed in that Tennessse
Iron aud Coal Company of which Mr..
Platt is President, and they have gone
South to look after their Joint business ill.,
terests. Yet don't think that Colonel
Dan Lamont or any Of the big Dem-crat
who are also interested III that Tennessee
Iron and Coal Company went along, as
would be apt 10 be the case if politics wac
not mixed with business.
The readers will recall that when Cen
eral Alger and Mr.. Plstt made their trip to
Alaska together last fall their purpose was
to look over the seal fisheries With view
to bidding for the monopoly now held by
the Alaska Commercial Company. Sscre-
tary Window has Just advertised for bids,

He has plan of his own, which he de
scribes as follows: my plan is very sim
pie, and iavOlve but few changes from the
present system. Make the printing OF
ballots and all other legitimate election
expenses a public charge. would not
make the official ballot compulsory, bat
all ballots should conform thereto. The
local committee of each political party
should recommend, and the municipal or
other authorities appoint one vote distTib-
utor from each political party for
every election district. He sbonld be
sworn "a other election officers are, to the
faithful performance of his dury, which
should be the distribution of the official
ballots Of his party, furnished by the au-
thOIities, and none other; so that person
desiring the straight vote Of his party
would be sure of getting it. No person
other than election officials and thOee in
the act OF voting should be allowed near
the polls.
THE voter should psss from the distri.
button Office through a room or space
where he would be entirely secluded. This
place should be accessible to all the va
rious ballots, so that the voter could ex-
change, scratch or paste his ballot without
the knowledge of any other person. This
course makes possible a secret ballot.
Thence 10 the ballot bcx. Thus the timid
would bs protected from coercion and the
trade Of votes destroyed, as no one would
be fool enough to buy votes and trust to the
hODor of man who would sell his vote for
its delivery"
