An Unluclsy Engine.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will be compelled to abandon
Engine No. 1913, now in use on
that road. 1t is regarded by road
men as unlucky. There is not an
engineer or fireman on the road that
has not superstitious dread of the
huge monster that has figured in
more disasters than any other. In
the first place, it plunged over the
bridge ut Latrobe last summer,
wrecking the whole train and kill
ing the engineer, fireman and ten
others and seriously injuring about
"a dozen persons. About a month
afterward it collided with train
near Manor, seriously iniuring the
fireman and wrecking number of
cars. Again in few weeks, while
ascending the mountains, its boiler
burst, and the fireman was blown
through the cab window and badly
hurt. 1t was repaired and once
more put upon the road, and all
went well until about six weeks ago,
when it again ran into freight
at Manor Station, smashing ten or
twelve cars and slightly iujuring
the fireman. Lastly while running
near Sang Hollow, it got into an
other scrape. This time it's oil can
exploded and severely burned both
engineer and fireman. 1t is said that
the employees of the road intend to
ask the company to discontinue it's
use.-Phitadetphia Press.

Novel Method of Removing
Rafa

Texas farmers have been almost
ruined by the depredations of rats.
To get rid of them novel expedi-
ent has come into use. The farmer
finds a burrow in which from fifty
to hundred rats reside. Every
exit except one is carefully stopped.
AT this one is placed a common iron
tea kettle. Opposite the spout is
bored hole in which is inserted a
piece of gas pipe about one foot
long. Over the spout is placed an
other piece of pipe, which is run
into the opening leading to the bur-
row. A fire is then built in the
kettle and couple of handfuls of
sulphur thrown on the Goals. The
top being closed, the fumes arc
driven into the burrow by a hand
bellows, the nozzle of which is in
serted in the top pipe. Some of
these burrows are fifty yards in
length; the fumes go though all its
passages, and in FIVE minutes every
young and old rodent is dead.

When Cleveland went out and
Harrison came in there was a sur
plus of about one hundred million
dollars in the treasury. Compare
that statement with the following
startling figures:
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Conser-
vative members of Congress are
beginning to feel a little uneasy
about the way appropriation bills
are piling up this session. The
amount of appropriations on bills
already passed and pending, point
to an aggregate that will exceed
Government revenues by many
millions during the coming fiscal
year. Government revenues from
all sources for the year, including
the postal revenue, was placed by
the Treasury Department recently
at $3.50, ,4OO,OO The regular an
nual appropriation bills, exclusive
of deficiencies, will amount TO about
1923, ,OO0, 900, and the permanent
appropriations including the bank
ing funds, will reach s1O1 600, 900.
The deficiency bills, will, according
to the estimates of the members OF
the Senate Appropriating Commit
tee, amount to at least S31 900 900.
That makes an aggregate of 1885,
GOO, 900 of appropriations, exclusive
of the dependent pension bill, which,
if it becomes law, as passed by the
Senate, will take $4,000, 900. The
miscellaneous appropriations at the
last short session amounted to SIO,-
1857 and they are likely to
amount to a good deal moro at this
session, as the public building bills
already reported in the House carry
an aggregate appropriation of s14,-
600, 900, to say nothing OF Senate bills
but if the miscellaneous appropria.
tions carry only the same amount
as at the last session, the total ap.
preparations will amount to s547,.
355, ,795, leaving a deficiency o.
s97. 100000. These figures and the
estimates leave out of sight possible
appropriations for coast defences
the direct tax bill and many other
purposes which, if made, will swell
the deficit considerably above one
! hundred millions.
