CLOSE TO THE TOP.
Washington the Third State in
Traeklaying.
WORK DONE ON ELEVEN LINES
One Hundred and Thirty-hve Miles
Laid This Year-News Of tho
Railroads.

The Rdiiacdy Age of July IL contains . sum
mary OF the amount of new construction during
the hrst six months Of the year 1891. 1t shows
Washington to ps third in rank, and says:
The reaction on the part OF the great railway
companies and OF individual capitalists from
the disposition to invest vast sums of money in
the construction of railway lines in new terri
tory, in competition with lines already in
operation, has been so marked for the last
two OF three yearsSand is still so pronounced,
that there is general impression that railway
building has ceased. It's true that the exciting
race between rival companies to push out new
lines farthest and most rapidly into the wilder
ness has ended, and also that Eastern and for
elgn capitalists are not ready to lay down their
money in exchange for the bonds of every
railway enterprise which may be presented.
But IL also yet remains true that our vast coun-
try is still only partially supplied with railway
facilities, and that new construction ID steadily
going on in almost every portion OF its wide do
main, not now so much for speculative purposes
for the benefit OF the promoters, but 10 meet the
legitimate demands of various localities for bet
ter means of transportation. Hence we find by
a careful survey of the entire field that already,
during the frst six months of 1891 at least lbs
miles OF main line track have been laid in the
United States in thirty eight of the states and
territories upon 1S9 lines, the following table

The work of the Militia Ended.

Last night Colonel J. c. Haines returned from
Gilman. and he expects to remain in the city all
day. In summing up the general situation he
said: "The strike Is really at end, for coal is
coming in from all the mines just as u.s.
ual. The sheriff, NJ. C. Sullivan, and the
strikers themselves say that this result could
not have been accomplished without the aid of
the militia, for, had there been attempts to open
the mines without such guard, trouble would
certainly have ensued. We were called out by
the sheriff, and now that our work is done and
the sheriff says he needs us no longer, we return
10 our homes"
