RAILWAY MATTERS.
CARS HEATED BY STEAM.


The Boston Transcript, Saturday, printed
the views of leading officials of the Boston &
Albany, the Fitchburg. the Old Colony and
the Boston j. Maine railroads, on the sub
ject of heating cars by steam taken from the
locomotives. Superintendent John Adams
of the Fitchburg pronounced the system a
success with the single fault of heating too
much. The Old Colony and ALBANY men
also spoke favorably of the system although
they both pointed out some slight defects
that they thought would be remedied by
experience.
General Manager James T. Furber of the
Boston & Maine Railroad was not in favor of
the system of heating cars by steam from
the engine; he determined to make test of
it on the western division of the road, how

What the New Law Provides.

The Republican silver bill that was
passed by the Republican majority in
the two houses of Congress and be-
came a law by the signature of Presi-
dent Harrison, is a compromise
measure which reflects Republican
sentiment on the silver question.
The measure was devised to meet
two well-defined demands on the part
of the public: First. that the transac-
ton of the country business required
more money: second, that the coin
age of light weight silver dollars
should be stopped.
The first demand was Just and
proper; for it is notorious that not
only has the amount of money in cir
culation been lessened by the surplus
operations of the United States treas
ury, but that during the past few
years the destruction of national
bank money has exceeded the coinage
of the silver dollars and the addition
made by the gold coinage has been
little or nothing while the population
has been increasing and business eX-
panding. To meet the necessities of
the situation, the new law provides
for the issue of certificates on 4, 5OO,-
600 ounces of silver to be purchased
monthly as a substitute for the exist
ing coinage of 100000 worth of
silver bullion into standard dollars.
The change from a lightweight to
an honest dollar, is secured by pro
viding that instead of coming dol
lar containing 412k grain OF silver
bullion worth about 80 cents, there
shall be issued a certificate represent
ing 100 cents worth of silver bullion.
These are the two principal provis-
ions of the new law; and they repre-
sent the highest wisdom and skill OF
the brilliant financial minds Of the
Republican majority in Congress, in
meeting the situation as it presented
itself.

The Hay Crop.

The New England Farmer for July
10 contained a condensed report OF
the condition of the hay crop from
all parts of New England, From this
we gather that outside of Vermont
the crop is unusually large and the
quality good.
Such a crop over SO large territory
must be unusual 1t is stated editor
tally that, taking all of New England
it is thought that both quantity and
quality considered, the crop must be
az good as thirty per cent, above the
average, That is large increase
and should tend to maintain fail
price for stock another fall, Besides
this, there is considerable hay left
over in places, We notice that while
from Vermont the reports indicate 6
less yield than last year, yetaconsld
cradle number make it an average
one, and of superior quality. This
is an encouraging feature of the case

scheme. 1t is true only of the settle
ment at Vershire, concerning which
there were grave doubts from the
first, because of the lack of employ
ment for "spare days" The Swedes
who were located there, have all left
and gone to Norton's Mills where
work in abundance offers both winter
and summer. But the colonies at
Wilmington and Weston are both in
a most encouraging condition. Gov.
Dillingham; and Commissioner Valen-
tine have visited them this week and
report the colonies as contented and
happy and as having already sent to
Sweden for friends. The Swedes are
liked by their American neighbors.
AS farmers they are reported as in
dustrious and intelligent. Some of
them are quite ingenious, too; when
unable to buy implements they have
in some instances madefarming tools
for themselves. Mr.. Page, the Re
publican nominee for governor, has
also made a trip to these towns to in

IMPORTANT CoURT DEusIoN.-An
important decision has just been rem
dered by Judge Tyler of the state SUI
preme court, in reference to liabilities
of the towns in the state for injuries
to persons and property on the high
ways The case in question is that of
Charles Z, Bates and wife against the
village of Rutland, to recover dam
ages for injuries sustained by Mrs,
Bates by being thrown from a car
rage near the village stone crusher,
it being set up as a claim that the
horse was frightened by the machin-
cry, The case was heard at the Sep
TENDER term of court, 1889, Judge H.
Henry Powers presiding. The jury
brought in a verdict for plaintiff to
recover $500 damages and costs.
An appeal was taken to the supreme
court and heard in January last by
four members of the court and the
opinion assigned to Judge Tyler, who
now hands down the opinion, and
files the decision as follows: SIN this
case the clerk may enter Judgment
reversed, and Judgment for the de-
fendant." This is the first case in
which the issue is plainly taken that
the village or town in repairing high
ways acts as the agent of the state
and is not responsible for negligence
1t disposes of innumerahle cases now
on the dockets of the lower courts.

SAVED BY A HYMN.-Conductof J
W. Stillwell said, while speaking of
the Chatsworth disasterin which 300
people were killed or wounded, that
his life was saved by the familiar
hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee. :"
AS the train approached the fatal
railway culvert Mr. Stillwell was TAX
ing up tickets in a car in which there
were sixty-twO passengers of both
sexes and all ages. In the car were
five young ladies seated in close proX-
unity to each other, and as the train
swept forward in the darkness they
sang the old hymn which is one of the
most plaintive and touching of
Charles WeSley's productions. One
beautiful girl in the first blush of
womanhood sang the verse of the
hymn alone and hercompanions join
ed in the chorus. The hour was so
appropriate for such music that every
ear in the car was turned to catch the
refrain, and the conductor stopped
with his hand on the knob of the rear
door of the car until the clear voices
of the singers had completed the
chorus. AS the last words died away
the crash came, and tifty-eight living
beings in that car were hurled to eter-
nifty. Had he gone out he would
have been crushed between the cars

Newspaper Puffs.

This is the, way it looks to Bill Nye:
The newspaper puff is something
that makes men feel bad if they don t
get. The groundwork of an ordinary
newspaper puff consists OF moral
character and a good bank account.
Writing newspaper puffs is like mixing
sherry cobblers and mint juleps all
through the summer months for
customers and quenehing your own
thirst with rain water. Sometimes a
man is looking for puff and don't
get it, then he says the paperis going
down hill, and that it is in the hands
of monopoly, and he would stop
subscribing if he did not have to pay
his bill first, Writing a newspaper
puff is like taking the photograph OF
a homely baby. If the photograph
does not represent the child with
wings and halOs and harps, it shows
that the artist does not understand
his business. So it is with the news
paper puff the puff doesn't stand
out like bold and fearless exponent
of truth and morality it shows the
puffer doesn't understand human ma
ture. 1t is more fun to see a man
read a puff of himself than to see a
man slip on an orange peel. The
narrow minded man reads it over
seven or eight times and then goes
round to the different places where
the paper is taken and steals what ht
can. The kind-hearted family MAI
goes home and reads it to his wife
and then pays up his bin on the pa
per. The successful business man who
advertises and makes money, starts
Immediately to find the newspaper
man, and speaks a word of grateful
acknowledgment and encouragement
Then the two men start out of thu
sanctum and walk thoughtfully dow
the street together, and the successful
business man takes sugar in his, anC
they both eat a Glove or two; and lifi
is sweeter, and peace settles down lik,
turtle dove in our hearts, and afte-
a while lamp posts get more plentiful
and everybody seems more or less in
toXicated, but the hearts of these TIVE
men are filed with a nameless Joy
because they know when to stop an,
not make themselves ridiculous.
