The recent attempt Of Texas men to Get

break the lions back, but one night var

He was full-Rrown and as savage as meat

down to camp and Gagged up. We calculated

after about a week along came man with
the meanest looking cur dog At his heels
you ever saw. Tho animal was Raunt, Wild
eyed, homely and awkward, and he
didn't weigh over twelve pounds
at the most. The man heard about
our lion. and after looking him over he
said:

1.-THE Manhattan railway system," said
Mr.. Boynton, speaking of the I'll" feature
of his scheme, without change OF gauge or
strengthening of structure or interference
with present traffic during construction,
can in six months be changed into the bicy-
Gle railway system and sixteen roads Be
substituted for the present four two track
roads. This will give eight express lines in
addition to the present facilities, whose
trains running upon the same rails will
give ten times the present capacity and
speed of transportation. Through trains
can be run from the battery to Harlem in
six minutes without stopping, or in ten
minutes making four stops. The facilities
for loading and unloading are two plat
forms for the two-story car and eighteen
doors to each car, saving about dve-fold in
the me required to receive and change
passengers. -
"The accommodation trains on the outer
rails next the station will thus be enabled
to double their speed. The engineering,
tracing and designs for structures, depots
and trains have been received with the great
est interest and encouragement by the en-
terprising managers of the Manhattan Gle
ated railway"

which they will at once construct a narrow
guage railroad from Frostburg, as well as the
necessary mills, tram roads, offices and

fact, they will build up new town, which
will thrive so long as the business thrives.
This tract extends from point south
of Meyersdale up the Castleman river
to point beyond Grantsville. 1t is
principally oak timber. A narrow

direction rather than to Frostburg.
