A BURIED treasure is being sought
in northwest Bengal. Apoor Brahmin
at A1onghyr possessed an amulet which
had been in his family for generations,
and as he was almost starving he took
it to goldsmith for sale. The gold
smith broke it up to test the metal and
found in the hollow center a scrap OF
paper covered with minute writing.
This being deciphered by a learned
pundit, the Brahmin learned that close
bv the shrine of Pr Shah Nepal is o
we'll dating back to Mohammedan
times, and at o certain distance from
the we'll are hidden fourteen lakhs Of
rupees. The Brahmin has obtained
government sanction to excavate the
ground a..rioh neighbor furnishing the
funds on condition OF receiving share
Of the treasure.
JOHN CLINE, o Harrisburg brickiay-
er, has portions Of brick and mortar
picked up in the ruins of the palace OF
the Cpsar's Palatine Hall, at Rome,
Italy, by son of the late DR.. O'Con-
nor, who has just returned from tour
of Europe. The material of the brick
is similar TO that of which American
fire brick is made, but this ancient
brick is only an inch thick and It and
the mortar are 1900 years old. Mr..
Cline prizes the relics of eighteen CEN
turies as only an old bricklayer could

The JemiSh Chronicle tells this
story of some of its coreligionists:
Professor Bilroth, the famous Viennese
surgeon, some time ago received let
ter from certain Jew in small Rus
sian iowa to come Immediately and
perform an operation. The Professor
in his answer stipulated for five thou
sand marks, which was promised him.
The Professor then repaired to the
Russian town, and upon his arrival he
was received by g number of Jews, who
sorrowfully informed him that the gen.
tleman that was to be operated upon
had died, and had been buried already.
And seeing that the Professor felt per-
picked and regretted the journey which
he had made in vain, the Jews COM
forted him, aaying: "There is yet
some chance for you to make some
money here. There are several sick
men in our hospital who would require
your services, for which each of them
would willingly pay you one thousand
marks" The Professor gladly &C.
cepted the offer, and, after having per-
formed about FIVE operations, the stipu-
lated amount was handed to him. But
a few minutes before starting for home
the Professor learned that he had
resurrected the dead man. That
worthy gentleman had been among the
hospital patients cured for one thou
sand marks.

One of our able New York journals last
spring printed question and sent it to many
people and among others to myself: Can
the editor of a secular journal be Chris
tain" Some Of the newspapers answered:
No. T answered: Yes: and lest you may
not understand me say: Yes, again. Sum
mer before last, riding with Mr.. Grady from
religious meeting in Georgia on Sunday
night, he said to ME some things which no"
reveal for the first time because it is appro-
pirate now that l reveal them. He expressed
his complete faith in the Gospel and ex-
pressed his astonishment and his grief that
in our day SO many young men were re-
iecting Christianity. From the earnest
ness aud tho tenderness and the con-
fidence with which he spoke Oh these
things l concluded that when Henry
W. Grady made public profession of his faith
in Christ and took his place at the holy conf
munion in the Methodist Church, he was
honest and truly Christian. That converse.
ton that Sunday night first in the carriage
and then resumed in the hotel, impressed ME
in such way that when I simply heard of
his departure without any OF the rartlcI-
lars, l concluded that he was ready to go. l
warrant there was no fright in the last exi-
gency, but that he found what is com.
monty called 'the last enemy" good
friend, and from his home Oh earth he
went to a home in heaven. Yes. Mr..
Grady not only demonstrated that an editor
may be Christian, but that very great in
telect may be gospelized. His mental capa

IN RAILWAY CIRCLES.
The Hurricane Raised Over the
Rapid Transit Franchise.
SECOND SOUTH STREET ROARING.
To-Day-A Very Important Ruling
Want Lower Rates.

The action Of the city council in granting
to the Rapid Transit company the right to
parallel the double tracks of the Salt Lake
City Railway company on Second South
street has raised no end of comment; and
II need not be said that it is all Of most
unfavorable nature. That rank injustice
has been done the old company is every
where conceded, and even the organ Of in
Justice, oppression and tyranny feels COM
PEELED to fly to the defense of the old com
pany. Of course, no one cares much what
the Tribune says, either one way or an
other, for its fast fading influence is nal,
and people have learned that if it opposes
injustice in any instance it is because
the injustice was not of its own
making. ''In this case, however, we feel
inclined to give the devil his due" said one
prominent Second South street man yes
terdaY, ''and too much cannot be said in
condemnation of the actions of the city
council in granting the franchise in queS-
ton. Leaving the street railways out OF
the question, 1t merely means that Second
South street is killed in q business way.
The idea OF allowing four tracks to be run
along this most important thoroughfare is
an outrage upon every property owner on
the street. No matter where the proposed
new lines are placed, almost the entire
street win be monopoliZed. 1t will simply
be impossible to put a track on each
side OF the present double track, and
if the Rapid Transit people use either the
north or the south side, it means that the
business on either side must suffer. In
other words, to sum up the matter briefly,
the laying Of four tracks, or even
three tracks, from First East to
Seventh West, means the driving OF all
other transit from that street, and turning
ii over TO its rival-Eirst South, which is
even now forging away head. Such action
is not only an outrage on the rights OF the
existing company, but is a serious blow 10
property-owners, and it is very doubtful
If the Rapid Transit will be allowed to
build the proposed line without tussle in
the courts.'' Such was the opinion of one
Second South business man who
did not care 20 be quoted
as yet. He, however, expresses the view:
of a great many others who were seen

There are those who insist that the!

A Very important Ruling.

On Friday Of last week the Interstate
Commerce commission delivered an opin-
ion which is of much more than ordinary
interest, and it will probably upset many
preconceived notions touching the matter
ruled upon.
The case calling out the decision is this:
The Pennsylvania company operates in
Indiana the JefIersonyille, Madison and
indianapolis railroad, with its branch from
Jacksonville to New Albany. The Penn
sylvauia received a consignment of grain
from the Louisville, Evansville and ST
Louis Consolidated railroad at New Albany
ana hauled it 10 JcfersonTiile. From the
latter city TO Louisville both the Pennsyl-
vsnia and the Louisville, New Albany and
ClicaEo have Ines. The complainant in
the case, Bennett d. Mattingly, oc5ere6
the grain forwarded to Louisville by the
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago, but
the Pennsylvania refused TO turn 1t over.
ana hauled it by its own line. It's right in
refusing to forward the grain by a COM
petiriye line as directed was the point called
in question, ana il was this which the com
mission ruled upon.
Its decision is that the Pennsylvania can
not he compelled to turn traffic over 10 q
company reaching q common point with it's
own line and g rival Of it. This is more
important than may at first appear. In q
large measure IL takes the routelng oil
freight out O. the hands Of consignors.
This is the old case OF forced partnership
In a new form. A carrier must receive and
forward traffic offered, whether it be ten
dered by shipper or carrier. But it may
select the route, as this privilege is not
either directly or by implication, denied il
by the act TO regulate inter state com.
merce.
Suppose the Union Pacific should receive
freight from the Denver & Rio Grandt
routed via the Union Pacific to Omaha an(
via the St Paul to Chicago. According t
the ruling of the Interstate commerce com
mission in the Pennsylvania case, the
Union Pacific may with impunity ignore
the routeing direction and forward the
freight TO Chicago by the way of the North
western, its contract ally.-RGliUay Regis,
