Earnings Of the St. Paul Road for the
Past Year.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The st. Paul Com
pany to-day issued an official statement OF
the earnings for the month of June and for
the fiscal year ended June 30th. The state
ment for June shows the net earnings were

year ended June 30th the ne t earnings were
$685. COO, a decrease of $4,000. The in

1t is reported on Wall street that Alex
ander E. Orr. ex-President of the Produce
Exchange, was elected a member of the
Executive Committee of the Union Pacific
in the place of +. l.. Ames. who is absent
from the city and unable to attend the meet
ings. Orr represents large interests in the
Rock Island. The fact that he has come to
the front in the Union Pacific is taken as
evidence that the people controlling roads
like the Rock Island and Burlington cannot
afford to see the Union Pacific drop into
receivers hands. Such a result, it is claimed
would completely demoralize the railroad
situation in that section of the country. 1t
is stated, apparently on good authority, that
Morgan, the banker, has been coaXed into
taking leading part in fiEanciering the
company.
The report that the Northern Pacific and
Canadian Pacific are about to unity their
Manitoba systems and conclude a close
traffic alliance was reiterated with great
posltlYeneSS on Wall street this morning.

ascending skyward. Having no boats to
cross the stream, they could not make a
direct shoot for the location Of the smoke,
but had to move further up to start into the
swamp.
They were supplied with good compass
and an experienced engineer but the swamp
was such dense jungle of canes, vines,
Drlers and-undergrowth generally that they
mad TO literally hew out passage. After
much hard work they found that they were
progressing only one and half miles per
day. Castleman and Barbour have not en-
tlrely given up the exploration, but will
equip themselves better for the work and
try 1t again at later day.
For more than century this mysterious
column OF smoke by day and flame by night,
rising In the midst OF an impenetrable
swamp on the Gulf Coast, has not only puz-
zled the rustic fishermen and hunters who
watch 1t from the outer edges of the swamp,
put scientists and thousands of others who
have viewed it from elevated points about
tallahassee. thirty miles away
BY day 1t presents the appearance of q
vast volume OF Jet black smoke rising up
as though Issuing from a huge smoke
stack, ascending high above the tree
tops and floating off on the breezes.
At night it presents bright light as
though large house was burning and the
flames were not quite visible. 1t appears
ana disappears at intervals, but always In
the same place. From Tallahassee it is
sonth-southeast, and when burning can be
plainly seen from any elevated position.
For more than twelve months, few years
ago, 1t was continuously visible from the
east windows of the Floridian office.
Numerous expeditions have started out
with sangulne expectations, but came back
worn out and disguised. They can get all
around the mystery and see it from any ele-
vated standpoint, but when they start into
the swamp. which is from 10 to 80 miles
across in any direction, they are met by in
surmountable barriers, besides. snakes. alli-
gators, mosquitoes and saud-hi hies.-Talla-

A SCALY JOKE.

Club Men Get Away With Bluefish That
Fenow-Members Caught.
The great run of bluefish in Raritan Bay
has attracted all the sports of the New
York Fishing Club. One Sunday they were
down to the clubhouse by the dozen. Some
great catches were made.
II never saw anything like it," said
Joseph b. Kaiser. who has summer resi-
dence there. ''They filed the ice box of
the clubhouse. and I never imagined that
all of the fish would be carried off in a
week"
That was the biggest fishing day the men,
bers of the club ever knew. After the dis
ciples of Izaak Walton had loaded their fish
into the ice-boX they retired for tho night,
having made preparations to 60 back to the
city in the morning.
There were other men in the club, how
ever, who wanted fish but had neither the
time nor the inclination to catch them. The
sun was just peepiug over the horizon when
Charley Platt and Captain Lubbock opened
the ice-box. Both are connected with OPP
perman's brewery and wanted to supply
their friends with fish enough for q week.
They carried away plenty of the big
blues" filling two baskets to the brim.
Lubbock counted out just thirty-nine three
Founders.
Then came Major Russell Meyers, who
uthtI Il ISL III his li1t tkC6pJ WIFI
silver hook. He is connected with the Mer-
chants National Bank of Wall street. and
is expected to bring up fish enough for all
the officers. The Major telegraphed for an
eXpresS-wagon to meet him at South Ferry,
and loaded up on the handsome bluetish
that somebody else had caught. The bus
broke down with him on the way to the
depot.
Alexander Walker and Joe Fredericks, of
the Washington Market, Harry Keller of
the Hotel Brunswick and Herman Weber,
the Third-av wine-merchant, all car
ried off big baskets filled with blues"
Pete Wanamaker, who Is feather weight
of 400 pounds, was next in line. He strap
ped enough on his back to break it. Gus
Stroh, the Twenty second street caterer,
carted away thirty fish that somebody else
caught and then came Frank Steinb berg, the
fancy-goods dealer of Sixth avenue and
Twenty eighth street. He cleaned up the
box. One basket on his right arm held
twenty-five good sized ones, another on his
left was nearly as heavily weighted down
and over his back he had tied a string Of
them that trailed on the ground. All of
them hired express wagons to help them get
the fish home.
But what Of the men who had caught
them? They slept peacefully on without
thought Of fish or anything else. And when
they did come down and found the fruits of
their days labor gone, a howl went up that
startled the owls in the neighboring trees.
Every member who had been fortunate
enough to catch some on the previous day
went home empty-handed. But they all
swore that it would never occur again.-N.
