on our runs," said B. N. Roller, a passen- ger conductor on the Louisville and Nash vile, whose home is at Louisville, Ky. 'I am on what is known as the Knoxville branch, from Louisville to Knoxville, and the amount of white whisksy that Is con- sumed on that run some times is quite as- tonishing.

Women in the partyi Why, yes, and just as full as the rest, and in the end sicker and more sorry than any one. Understand me, this is not the general rule, nor is 1t the case with anything like large percentage of the psseengers. But these moonshiners do ride and they do drink as they ride. All of them drink young women and old. Their tipple is the white whiskey they make themselves. It has never been watered. I have never tried it, but I think that one drink is about equal to four of the kind served over city bar. No, we don't have much trouble with them We generally manage to get them into the smoker. All the men are usually armed. You will meet 6 man who has not 6 dollars worth of clothes on him down from the mountains. His hat he has worn for perhaps a dozen years But he is sure to hayea late make of re- yolyer, the latest he can get. That is his pride. He does not care about collars and vest and the cut of his trousers, but his gun must bs of the latest make, and the leader of moonshine society is the man who has the newest and latest improved shooting iron.

The situation sometimes looks dangerous, but 'trouble,' as they call murderous afrays, is very rare on our trains"

 The poor youth had started for the tenn ple-on foot, with his musket at his side. with all the golden louis sewed in his drug get vest and the picture of Marie Antoi- nette hung around his neck. In his love nnd his ingenuousness he had thought nothing less than that he could save his queen. He travelled by night, keeping to the woods by day, weary, ,famished, but ever going on.
 Finally he reached the city the l7th of October, 1793, worn and sick, ,and with rage and tenderness. In the Place de la Bastille he accosted patriot wearing a Phrygian bonnet and armed with club.

THOSE sssTATEMENTs,, ,,

A cheerful Frenchman once remarked misfortunes of our neighbors. If this is so there will be some pleasure in New Ha- ven this morning when what are called the "statements'' of Mir. Scranton for himself and for the defunct firm are read. The statement of Mir. Scranton's financial con- dition is short and to the point. He owes about s31 ,00O, and has about $5,000 with which to pay. The part of the statement which needs explanation is that which sets forth his big indebtedness to the late firm or infrm. Perhaps this will not be ex- plained. It ought to be.
 The other statement-that of the firms condition-is good exercise in arithme- tic, and that is about all that can at pres ent be said of it. It is puzzle, which even the astute attorney for the firm confessed himself unable to solve. It con- tains some comfort for those who have been dealing in stocks on margins, for lists of stocks are given, and they may find their stocks if the law allows them to search for them. But if they cannot take them when they are found the comfort may be only crumb. The list of assets is not very cheering. Such items as ad- vances on western mortgages, houses and lots with mortgages on them, Stock Ex- change seat which is supposed to be hy- potheeated, etc., are not reassuring. We have been told that there was some in surance which would be valuable asset, but we do not find it in the list. Perhaps 1t is somewhere else. Another interesting feature of the statement is found in the accounts of an uncertain or doubtful na- ture. Still another interesting feature ap- pears in the speculative accounts in which the names of the members of the firm fig ure.
 The fact is the "statement'' is no state ment at all. It is simply something to guess upon. If such a statement as this is the result of week and half of such earnest work as we have been told was go- ing on what kind of thing would three weeks of "setting" have hatched2 If there are creditors who care enough about their losses to try to find out how they have been plundered they should take immedi- ate steps to that end. They have waited too long already.

 All the good Indians may be dead, but all the rich ones are not.

 Rufus Perry, jr., is @ young colored man | who has done well for himself and his race. He has been admitted to the bar, receiving the mark of 100 per cent, which is very seldom given. He is the son of Baptist clergyman of Troy and fitted for Cornell. Instead of going to college, however, he engaged in the study of law. He entered the law department of the University of the City of New York, and became great favorite in his class. He might have been valedictorian, but withdrew in favor of a friend who stood next to him. He is to be class orator. He argued chamber motion in the supreme court, beating H. D. Nc Burner. His argument so impressed MT. McBurney that the latter made him head clerk.
