RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.

Several neat new depot houses are to
be built along the line of the Port
Huron division of the f. Il p. NJ. rail
way. They are badly needed.
The broad gauge iron is down as far
as Index. and the line will be run
through the cut this week. Assis-
tant Roadmaster Ross informs us that
broad gauge cars will be run to Yale
10y the 18th inst. The transfer will be
made there until the line is graded in
to Port Huron.
Saginaw Courier: Although work is
progressing as rapidly as possible on
the Port Huron division of the +. "
p. NJ, standard guage cars will not be
run until October. The line is becom-
ing popular with the travelling public.
however, the efficiency of the entire
system eXerting an influence for good
on the newly acquired section.
1t is reported that the facilities for
transferring live stock from the +. ~
T. NJ. to the Grand Trunk at 1T. Huron
are so bad that the animals are in some
instances compelled TO lay over in the
yards of the latter roads for a whole
day without water to quench their
thirst. Here is an opportunity for the
humane society to distinguish ITSELF.
The Chicago & Grand Trunk railroad
Company have decided to put in a mile
of side track on the south side of the
State Fair Grounds, at Lansing, ena-
bling exhibitors to reach the grounds
direct with stock and machinery. This
outlay of several thousand dollars will
90 much to make the coming fair
success. 1t shows a spirit of enterprise
and accommodation that will, be fully
appreciated.
The Saginaw Herald describes a new
and important device for switching
cars which will shortly he practically
tested in the yards of the +. 81 p. NJ. R'y
Co. at East Saginaw. by means of this
device all the switches from the railroad
bridge will be controlled from a tower
erected midway between those two
points. In this tower is a lever for
every switch. Each switch is number
ed, and an engine has but to blow a
number of blasts of its whistle to cor
respond with the number of the switch
desired opened. and it is promptly
opened by the switchman in the tower.
AS many men as are necessary will be
placed in the tower, so that no delay
can possibly occur to trains, and above
all it places the switchmen beyond all
danger.

Some Naval Officers Don't Want a
Change In the Revenue Marine.
II is a Question of Rank That Puts
the Navy's Nose Out.

WASHINGTON, December 26.-The pro-
posed transfer of the officers of the revenue
marine TO the navy. as provided for by the
bill introduced by Senator Butler, has begun
to develop some opposition from the junior
officers Of the navy. They are not opposed
to the recommendations made by the BOARD
of visitors at the Naval Academy, that the
officers Of the revenue rine service should
be taken from the graduates of the Naval
Academy, and that the school now main
tanned at New Bedford for the training Of
revenue marine cadets be abolished; nor are
they absolutely opposed to the transfer of
its officers to the naval service, pro-
vidiny that the conditions of the But
Ter bill are modified. But they
argue that to give them the bene-
fit of the rank. as proposed In the bill, would
be an injustice to some Of them. For in
stance, the examinations in the revenue ma
rine service are not TO be so rigid as those
for the naval service, and as proof of this
they call attention that many Of the officers
In the former were at one time at the naval
academy. and falling to pass the eXamina-
tion for academy, and falling to pass the ex.
animation for promotion were dropped out
OF the service and afterward received COM
missions in the revenue marine. 1t Is also
represented that by the transfer. under the
provisions of the bill, some of the revenue
officers will be above those in the navy who
were classmates with them In the naval
academy,

night by two prisoners, Frank Richie, q
years old, and Thomas Conaty, 20 years,
sentenced from Springfield for II years each
for breaking and entering James C0ombs's
factory at Longmeadow and attempting to
kill the proprietor. A block of granite, IA
by II inches, in the roof Of Ritchie's cell
was removed, allowing free access to the ven-
tilator. Two geography covers were insert
ed in the space and the change carefully
concealed. Tonight the prisoners attended
the evening school in the chapel as usual.
On the return to the cells Conaty, whose cell
is directly opposite Ritches, stepped into
the latter's cell with him and quickly made
his way into the ventilator. When the Off
Ger came around to make the count they
found Conaty's cell vacant. Ritchie re-
sponded to his name. The officers at once
reported the absentee. When the keepers
returned to the cells Richie had
flown. The men had provided ropes with

The officer saw COnaty, who started on the
run with Moore In hot chase. After

Ten minutes from the time COnaty left the
chapel he was brought into the prison office
a captive. Richie escaped, and up to this
hour has not been heard from.
