FLYING AGAINST TIME.

The Rail Record Beaten Between Wash
ington and New York.
The fastest time ever made by railroad
train between New York and Washington was
accomplished yesterday by a special train
over the Pennsylvania Railroad. The train
was rendered to party of hotel proprietors,
theatrical managers, and newspaper repre-
sentat1ves. The special train was composed
OF Pullman combination dining car, a parlor
car and an observation car. The weight of
the three cars aggregated 25O,OOO pounds,
while the locomotive, which was the Pennsylva-
MIA standard, class K, with six and half feet
driving wheels, weighed, with it's complement
OF coal and water, $4,000 pounds.
The train left New York at 2:49 p. m., and
stopped in the station in this city at p. m.
Engines were changed at Gray's Ferry, con-
suming five minutes, and stop at Baltimore
took up six minutes more. Deducting the
eleven minutes thus lost, the actual running
time was four hours, or 240 minutes for 22S
miles, the average running time being fifty
seven miles per hour. The best previous
record between the two cities was made over
this line on March 10, 1890, when special
train conveyed A. M. Pamer's 'sAunt Jack"
Company from New York to Washington in
four hours and eighteen minutes, or at an
average rate of fifty-four miles an hour.
Some very fast bursts of speed were made
on various parts Of the line, reaching in
many instances the extraordinary rate of
seventy-fve miles per hour. New York to
New Brunswick, thirty one miles, was
covered in thirty minutes. Trenton, ffty-six
miles from New York, was reached in fifty
three minutes, and Gray's Ferry ninety one
miles, required only eighty-eight minutes
The twenty -four miles between Gray's Ferry
and Wilmington were made in twenty-four
minutes, and thirty-two miles between Havre
de Grace and Bay View were run in as many
minutes This schedule, fast as 1t is, was
run in the face of the wind, which is con-
sdered by engineers great obstacle
Although this great velocity was maintained
throughout the run, full course dinner was
served in the dining car, and by reason of the
stability of the stone ballasted track, no in
convenience nor any disagreeable sensations
were suffered by any member of the party.

A Supposed Burglar Captured.

officer Weldon yesterday afternoon ar
rested John Jones, alias "Buck Bill" notori-
Gus negro crook, on the charge of grand
larceny Early last week the meat house of
Messrs. w. II. Robertson & Co., ,912 Louisiana
avenue, was entered and robbed of 140 pounds
of pork and the officer has been working on
the case since the occurrence. Yesterday he
discovered where the spoils had been disposed
of, and learned that ''Buck Bill" was the bur-
glar. He is locked up IN the First precinct,
and 1t is probable that the police will now be
able to lay up many of the recent burglaries
to his credit, as they believe ne has been en-
gagged In numerous affairs of this kind lately.

A Special Oaicer Arrested.

For some Time the police have been agitat-
ing the question of the right of special Off
GERS to carry their pistols when off duty In
some cases these specials are not as mild and
w-abiding as they might be. Yesterday
Officer Nebbs, of the First Precinct, saw Will
liam B. Groat, young colored man, recently
a special for some yards near the Long Bridge,
doing the rounds in Thirteenth-and-a-Ha Hall
street, and noticing he had his pistol with
him thought it best to arrest him on the
charge OF carrying concealed weapons. Judge
Miller will decide on Monday If such people
are licensed to carry guns when not perform
ing police duty.

will bite st almost anything in the shape of animal substance--raw meat, end even red flannel, because it looks like raw meat. After being hooked they pull hard for awhile. for the bullhead is powerful fish as we'll as greedy, and to get one to the surface is literally like taking bone from a dos--it is dead lug entirely. In size tho catfish varies from few inches in length, and not ex. ceeding few ounces in weight, up to hundred or even a hundred and fifty pounds. ..
 The latter are found in Lake Huron, and in smaller numbers in the great western rivers. Quite an aristocrat in comparison with bullheads is the yellow perch, which is widely diffused, with small variation of size, shape and color, through all the inland fresh waters of the United States or course you could not have persuaded the boys of the writer's time that a trough yellow" and | a "sharp nose" were of the same spe- cies; probably the small boys of today would laugh at the same assertion, but | IL IS IsNSiIhSiSoo tAuC, anu tuC pciSu mentioned, and others like the white and slender yellow, are but accidental vari- cities. The ''roughs" are the best biters and the best fighters. More than three times out of six q perch will flop off an ordinary hook before the boy at the pole can haul it in. It can pull, too, pretty strongly for a few minutes, and trout fishers who get them on the line are ire quently deceived. The 'roughs" also grow to good size, and the truant who can take one of them home feels that he needs no other excuse for his disobedi- ence.
 The best of the family arc the yellow pike perch, called the glass eye" in Michi- gan and Ohio. They afford splendid sport to the angler, particularly if he will let himself be guided by the small boys of the neighborhood who know all the
Arizona republican., 1891-05-27

haunts of this fish. The best time for fishing is in the dusk of the evening, and the best place is ut the foot of rapids or beneath mill dams. Any dead fish bait on the hook will be taken by the "glass eye" but it prefers minnows to worms and worms to crayfish. In the south the "growler" takes the place of the glass eye" The former is fish of the salmon family, and is very abundant in the Carolinas, where it grows to the length of two feet.
 In the inland waters of North Caro- lima the same fish is known by the boys as the Welshman. They fish for it with minnows, and now that the latter beautiful little fish, which the smallest urchins consider their lawful prey-have been mentioned l cannot do better than to end this article with few words about them. In every part of the coun. try where there is . swift running stream with a gravelly bottom, and in the shallows of every pond or lakelet. the "minnies" are found, so every boy knows them as soon as he begins to wade.
 A worm tied to q string is sufficient to catch the tiny creatures, and the angler, who now scarce smiles when he baskets a big salmon, well remembers his shout of delight when as child he pulled out the fish before it had time to disgorge its ill gotten dinner. So we are back to "ittle wanton boys" and first principles.

Recent Patents,

One of the recent patents is contriv- ance resembling derrick erected over an open vessel; an endless cord carries a little human figure up and down, first at the top of the derrick and then to the bottom of the tu.Sen. You couldn't guess what it is, but an inscription tells you it is "McGinty in the soup" An other brilliant idea is an automatic waterfall, with real water, upon which a magic lantern is to reflect series of advertisements. A patent was taken out not long ago upon "an automatic device for illustrating tho method of using new cuff button," the automa- ton being warranted not to indulge in profanity.

@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY O

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand Q00,0y0) shares of ten ($l0) dollars each.
 One-half of the capital stock will be sold in the Territory of Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation oi sugar beets, sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products at the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, al not less than par, for the purpose of pur. chasing, importing and erecting machin cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved for the farmers can be paid for at any time within five years from the date of the organization in land or it's saccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub, scribers will be entitled to draw divi. dend pro rata on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to full dividend semi-annually
 It is reasonably expected that the company can declare dividend of 25 per cent per annum on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been disposed of and one-half fully paid in cash, the company will be authorized to issue equal to one-half of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon all the property of the company, pay able in twenty years, with interest al the rate of percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase of land, and for no other purpose; plo' vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor mortgage on the prop. erty executed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders.
 The Government of the United States offers to pay bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit free cf duty, until the first day of July, 1892, all machinery required for its manu- facture.
 The Territorial Legislature. at its last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets. as well as the plant and machin- cry employed in the manufacture of do- mestic sugar, from taxation for ten years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo- lasses, candy and confectionery to the value of S1Ol ,2a3, ,S26, or sent away up- wards of one hundred million dollars, which can te retained at home by en- couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 The average yield of saccharine matter from sugar beets in France is only per cent, in Germany 10 per cent.
 In California the average yield is l5 per cent.
 It is confidently ybelieved that the soil and sun of Ariz,na will yield much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany, California, or any other country; and if these premises are correct. the profits will exceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States.

THE COMMON FOND FISH.

The dace live to q great age, even to 100 years, but they lose their silvery sheen. their scales becoming gray with time. A gentleman relates story of a dace of his boyhood which is worth pre- serving It should be stated that the dace is extraordinarily tenacious of ex- istance, and after being taken by hool; can be kept alive in moss for weeks if fed on bread Steeped in milk. Well, out of pond near Buffalo, when he was a boy of twelve, this man had taken a beautiful. shining dace, and from mis- chief had wound a brass wire around it's head. fastening each end to the two bar bels or horns at the corners of its mouth. He then returned it to the pond. That ie forty years ago, and last summer, while on visit to his youthful haunts, he went fishing and caught fish, dacs-but no longer young and silvery-aroand whose head he found piece of corroded wire. Was if the same2 Authorities are in. clined to think it was,
 The catfish was mentioned disrespect- fully in a preceding paragraph. It is stupid, mud loving and hideous--we grant all the adjectives-but what man can find it in his heart to hate what has given him so much excitement in days gone by? Bullheads, bullpouts and cat. fish are the same, and if they vary great ly in flesh in different parts of the coun' try, being esteemed Il great delicacy in some places, while in others they are discarded as poisonous, in looks they are about the same everywhere.
 It is just because they are so hideous and threatening that lads dellShs II catching them. Every boy has little of the St. George in hin, and every bull head has good deal of the dragon. An other point in their favor is that they

proved that he was not born a hunter of game fish. Yet that he was born q fish erlnan, or at least with love of the sport, his own early life has shown. Does not he remember how he played "hooky" in order to lure the sunfsh, the bass, the thorn" dace, the growler, the sucker and the catfish from their native streams? Often he has wandered to the nook made sacred by the successes of other seasons, and there has dropped his piuhook and angleworm from school time until dusk, nor suffered the bangs of hunger while he felt bite.
 No true fisherman--he who angles in- stead of arguing-will scorn the little fellows, the pumpkin seed of fish that were the companions However cnforced) of his brookside idling. Still he can feel the thrill as of a suniiSh nibbling at his hook. the rapture when it was landed and the delicate apprehension of it's acute spines when removing the hook from its gills. The sunf5h undoubted- ly appeals more to memory than any other common fish. It has wide geo graphical range, being found from Lake Michigan through all the middle and western states, and along the Atlantic coast so fur south as the CArolinas. It has many varieties, and in consequence many names.
 Pumpkin seed they call it in some states, and in Massachusetts 1t is known as bream. But by any title the sunfsh always affords good sport for boys, and even men need not despiseit. tis clever. Let no one think it loves the mud like the stupid bullhead, or after days unwearying chase he will 50 home to be laughed at. No; its haunts and habits are not unlike those of the bass, except that instead of hugging closs to rock it prefers a moving shadow. It likes the play of light and shade, and if the angler has in his neighborhool an old wooden bridge with big cracks and holes in the blanks he has only to get beneath it and cast his line. The sun fish are there, and if he is acute enough to detect their gentle nibbling they won't be there much longer.
 Boys a little more grown up, and in more piscatorially favored places, go after the dace or sinners. "horned dace" we used to call them. because of the bar bels that project from each corner of the mouth. There is nothing lazy about the dace. and the man who knows what it is to spin and troll--perhaps the highest and most exciting forms of inland fishing can always enjoy himself when the deli cate. shy, silvery dace are his quest. The dace thrive best in ponds and lakes, and in such parts of rivers as have a slow current. They are prolific every where. They are at their best, so far as latitude is concerned, in the southern region. In certain states dace are pro- nounced the game fish of America, fol- lowing the lead of New York, and al though they hardly deserve the honor, yet their timidity, their freedom from voracity-for of all fishes they are the least addicted to animal food-are traits which render their pursuit difficult and entertaining. The larve of insects and worms should be used as bait.

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have Q vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as well as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be i'm ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nifty from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the miH and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar heets ex- tract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at S5 per ton for sugar beets, would be a I great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked we'll in Germany and France, and in fact the co6peratiye system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be a guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of a vigilant watchlulness over the management. and by united ef- fort a staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the saccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc.. and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in transplanting the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re- quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started in many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, and an effort on the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.

 From vague reports it is believed that the region abounds in streams flowing toward the center from the inclosins mountains; that these streams swarm with fine fish, while the intervening for ests are full of game, and there is chance of discovering rich mines in the hills.
