The Lynchburg and Durham
Railroad a Fixed Fact.

LynchburS News
1t is with great satisfaction that we
are able to announce that the imme
diate completion OF this road is now a
fixed fact, that the r,a1 will be built
with the assets originally placed 10
Major Otey's hands and from which
it was predicted by many it would be
impossible for any one to build it.
Major Otev look the amount sub
scribed BY counties, towns and indi~
viduals and did an amount of work
which was never before, we believe,
done with the same means, and has
now completed an arrangement bv
which, with mortgage of $4,000 to
the mile, the road will be completed,
equipped with rolling stock, depots
and terminal facilities and be actually
running in eighteen months.
Only those who know all the labor
be has gone through can fully APP"
preciate the praise due Major Otey
for accomplishing this result. Time
and again has he been disappointed
but he has continued. in the face Of
the most diseouraging circumstances,
until at last his efforts have been
crowned with success. He deserves
the warm thanksof the people Of
Lynchburg and all the commui les
through which the road passes. Ma
Tor Otey is still in Philslelphia, but
We make the announcement contain

CUTTING DOWN TREES.
An Electrical Machine That Will Fell the
Tall Pines of Oregon,

An Electrical Machine That Will Fell the
Tall Pines of Oregon.
Portland oregon1an.7
A great many machines have been in
vented for cutting down trees, saws run by
hand and by steam, etc., but nothing has as
yet been brought into general use to take
the place of the State of Maine man or
Michigander with his springboard and
keen ak.
The saw driven by steam could do the
work very we'll, but it is impracticable to
get steam engine around in the woods. A
machine has lately been invented for
cutting down trees which bids fair to
be success. It is run by electricity and
can easily be moved about in the woods, as
the motor is placed on high cart and runs
a cutting drill which sweeps from side to
side and is advanced as the work progresses.
The electricity can be supplied from sta
tionary steam engine or a water power and
conducted by insulated wire to any reason
able distance or over any kind of ground.
There is but little timber land IN this coun-
try but what can be reached in this way,
and it is possible that in short time the
chopper will be thing of the past in log
ging camps, and the tall pines of Oregon
will be laid low by electricity.

Preparations TO Welcome the Pittsburg
Team Next Week.

Team Next Week.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPArCHl
CLEVELAND, o.. May 25.-When the Pitts
burg club comes here on the 9th of June we ex-
pect to welcome it with such big crowd that
additional seating capacity has been contracted
for and will be erected at once. The total seat
ing capacity of the grounds will then be be-
tween 5000 and $780, In all Cleveland's expe-
rience in the Association the club never had
continued attendance that warranted enlarging
the stands.
Columbus dallied and wavered so long over
the deal for Tom Nicholson that Toledo
stepped in and bore away the prize. I think
two places. He is a capital player, and at the
price Toledo got him for, $500, his release is
dirt cheap. Sprague is working daily, and has
reported to Secretary Hawley that his arm is
gone, and his command of the ball is good. He
will be given thorough trial when the club
gets back. and it may be we have drawn anoth-
er prize in the pitching line
Young Lohbeck is still here, and though the
inquiries about him are numerous, the man
agenent is in no hurry to let him go, and it will
be impossible to buy him for the song tina:
other players have been disposed of.
The Detroit deal is about all closed up. Sec
retary HawIey went up to see Stearns on
Thursdays boat and help him squander share
OF that So4,GO dividend that was recently de-
clared to tho Detroit stockholders. All that
Detroit lost during its existence in the League
could be put in mans eye and it wouldn't i'm
pair the sight then.
Cleveland gave Chicago more money by sew
eral shekels for the four games played here
than Cleveland got from New York for the
four games played at Staten Island. 1 notice
Pitts6urg got dose of equally as bad medi-
cine. This is what plays the mischief with the
smaller cities. A losing season on Staten
Island, however, may take some of the conceit
and big salary notions out of the head of the
New York management. and it will be disposed
to play fewer stars. Day and Mutrie may as
certain by actual experience how valuable a
salary limit is to the weaker cities JBF.

PENNsYLVANIA's QUARANTINE.

DR.. Benjamin Len Will Explain to Pitts
burgers All About 1.-THE Sanitary Com
'vcnfion-A Notable Week.
i A sanitary convention will be held in
Pittsburg next Friday and Saturday, under
the auspices of the State Board of Health.
Subjects of vital interest will be presented
and discussed by practical sanitarians. The
sessions and discussions will be freely open
to all, and will be of special interest to the
public. The place Of meeting will be the
Pittsburg Club Theater.
DR.. Benjamin Lea, Secretary of the State
Board, will be present, and will tell about
the new quarantine station at the entrance
to Delaware Bay. 1t will be remembered
that Congress, at its last session. appropri-
ated q considerable amount of money for the
equipment of seven quarantine stations,
FIVE for the Atlantic coast and two for the
Pacific.
Of this appropriation about $75, 900 was
assigned for the establishment of a
thoroughly equipped station for the protec-
tion of Delaware Bay and river. Heretofore
the only safeguard against the Introduction
of contagion below the Lazaretto has been
the little hospital of the United States
Marine Hospital Service, near Lewes,
simply designed for the treatment Of sick
or wounded seamen, with no adequate pro-
vision for the isolation of those suffering
from infectious diseases.
So well has this service been administered,
however, that 1t has on several occasions de-
tained and disinfected pest-laden vessels and
their crews, and thus stayed at the threshold
causes which might have resulted in dis
astrous epidemics had they gained admis-
sion. At or near this point the Legislature
of Delaware has offered to eede to the United
States the land necessary for the proposed
buildings and appurtenances
The Secretary OF the State Board of Health
of Pennsylvania, DR.. Benjamin Lea, has
been designated commissioner on the part
of the United States to meet commissioners
appointed by the State of Delaware, and, in
conjunction with them to locate and fix the
boundaries of this reservation. This pre-
liminary will be speedily settled, and work
will be begun at an early date. The fumi-
eating steamer for the station is now in pro-
cess of construction.
Among the many papers that will be read
are one on "Meat," by DR.. Dunn; one on
Food Adulteration," by Percy f. Smith,
and one OF BREAD as an Article of Food"
by S. S. Marvin. DR.. W. T. English will
also read paper. On the evening of one
of the days of the meeting a reception will
be rendered to the board by the State Medi-
cal Society. 1t will be held at the Bijou
Theater, and will be followed by banquet
at the Monongahela House.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsrArcz

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DTsPATcH.1
WASHINGTON, May 25-Beam pitched
for the visitors to-day, and that almost tells
the story. There were many cOnjectures as
to the ability of the young man as base
ball pitcher. Manager Phillips really
thought that nothing earthly could touch
him. Horace, by the way, had been told by
Mr.. Nimick, who was here, that Beam was
what the street corner people call a corker.
However, Mr.. Beam was in the box to-day
for the pilgrims from Pittsburg, and to tell the
truth he was in reality corker. OF course he
was wild, but he got the ball across the plate
often enough to puzzle the Senator aggregation
and surprise the onlookers. 49,.
Beam won the game and that is the story of
the contest. To tell how the runs were made
would only be telling an oft repeated tale.
Pittsburg has evidently gotten hold of good
young fellow in Beam. Score:

BEES IN THE HEART OF THE CITY.
The Busy Honey Makers Found on the
Flowers In New York Squares.

From the New York SUM-
It is not often that a New Yorker may see
bees extracting honey from flowers in this
town of brick and stone; but if anyone curious
to look upon such sight will wander through
Union square or Madison square. and watch
the beds of flowers which here and there
beautify those lovely spots of green, it is not
altogether improbable that that sight may be
seen. The other day, when the suns rays
came down straight and hot, there was group
of men and children at the upper end of Union
square intently looking at the spot where two
or three bees were hummIng about amid the
blossoms of some plants that grew up in very
small bed. The interesting little insects
buzzed about and hovered above the petals.
The bees, SO far as any city man could see,
were genuine and healthy, and if any one of
the curious observers had dared to Interfere
with them in their industrious undertaking, it
was altogether likely that he would have been
punished with smart sting for his pains.
After what seemed very little while the busy
insects finished their labor. and, circing some
what experimentally above the bed of flowers
for a moment or two. suddenly decided upon
their course, and flew straight away over to-
wald the Jersey shore.

A BULLDOG FIGHTS A HORSE.
Desperate Struggle in Which Trotfer
Was Nearly Killed.


SARATOGA, May 25.-John ]. Scanned is a
lover of horses. The pet of his stable is a road
mare which he values at thousands of dollars.
She was recently sent here from New York for
Mr.. Scannel's pleasure driving this summer.
The groom who has charge of the animal owns
a fierce bulldog, and at night the two animals
were shut up together in the box stall of the
pet mare. During the night an unpleasantness
arose between them which developed into alife
and death fight. The noise of the contest
aroused the neighbors and the stablemen, and
on going to the stall the dog and the horse were
found TO be fighting furiously.
The dog evidently had the best of the mare,
having fastened his teeth firmly in her neck,
and was holding on in such death grip as only
a bulldog can. while the mare was crying and
helplessly kicking in all directions. 1t was only
by running stick under the heavy leather col
lar worn by the dog and twisting it until he
was nearly choked to death that he could be
make to relax his grip upon the mares neck.
She was ais o badly bitten on the nose and legs.
1t is feared that the mare is fatally injured.
MT. Scanned paid 81, 300 for her. She has a rec
ord of 225
