RAILROAD NOTES.

Recently an the Marietta g. North
Georgia railroad train ran over and
killed a COW, near Thompson, Tenn. A
day or two afterward, when the train
passed through, an officer arrested the en-
gineer and took him before q Justice of
the peace. where he was tried for cruelty
to animals. The passenger train was
held for four hours, during which time
the mails and passengers v ere delayed.
Seventy-five miles an hour is 110 feet q
second. aud the energy of 400 tons or a
train of cars moving at that rate is nearly
twice as great as that Of 2000-pound
shot fired from 100-ton Armstrong gun.
This is the extreme weight and speed
now reached in the passenger service,
aud, indeed, is very rarely attained, and
then but for short distances; but sixty
miles is common speed, and rate of
forty or fifty miles is attained daily on
almost every railway In the country.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 6, 1892-In
spite of tile evidence against Lizzie Bor-
den connecting her with the murder of
her father and mother. neither she nor
her uncle, John Morse, vas arrested last
night.
The police are acting slowly and care
fully in the affair. The strictest kind of
guard was kept on the house and all the
Inmates. John Morse went out of the
house four times yesterday on various er-
rands, and each time he was followed
closely by detective patrolman.
Last night, in company with the SER
vaut girl. he walked to the Post Office,
but before reaching there they were sur
rounded by crowd of 1900 persons or
more. Five policemen Kept the crowd
back while the parties were returning to
the Borden homestead.
The excitement was greater last night,
ii anything. than at any time since the
murder. A crowa of 600 persons stood in
front of the house, but the police would
not allow stragglers to hang over the
fence or loiter on the sidewalks.
During the day the clothes worn by the
deceased persons were buried in the rear
of the house. Lizzie Borden Kept her
room all day and was inaccessible to
callers, no matter who or what they
were.
NThe police put more and moro faith in
the theory that the victims were rem
dered unconscious by drugs before the
M urder.

Queer Alliance in Asia to Check the
Russian Advance.
LONDON. Aug 6, 1S92.-Even domestic
politics are overshadowed by the
gravity of the news from the Pamir.
China and Great Britain are both NOV
ing in defence against Russian az
gression, while the Afghans also lay
claim TO part of the disputed territory,
aud are attempting to hold it both against
the Chinese and Russians.
The British are decidedly strengthened
for opposition to Russian advance by the
recent British conquest OF the petty States
of Hunza and Magyar, situated between
the Little Pamir and the frontiers of
Kashmir.
Holding an impregnable position, the
British are much more strongly pre-
pared than year ago 10 OBJ
struct the Russian advance should
the Russians endeavor to encreach
upon British territory. At present the
Russian invasion is confined to territory
beyond the line of British possession,
although approaching dangerously near
to 1t.
A despatch from Pekin states that the
Chinese Government is already on the
alert, and explanations have been
and AfQhanistan for approaching
upon territory claimed by the Chinese,
The Chinese forces in the Pamir region,
commanded by General Chang, without
waiting for any explanations. have al
ready encountered the Afghans in a
bloody conflict at Samutash.
The Chinese were considerably out
numbered but they fought resolutely
and only retreated in the face of over
whelming force. The Afgtans held the
field. General Chang, it is stated. has
sent with his report of the conflict an i'm
perative demand for reinforcements.
The British Indian authorities are
arousing both the Chinese and the
Afghans to their COMMON danger from
Russia, and 1t Is said that this will be the
chief object of the mission of Gen. Lord
Roberts.

Bullock. Horley Schemeley, Bozillai
Berom, Joseph Alloways and Pemberton
Foster were brought here and lodged in
the jail charged with most helm Gus
offence, which may result III the death of
Lillian Mitchell of Vincentown, q pretty
child of eleven years.
The child was found by the roadside
near strip OF woods IN an insensible
condition, not far from her home. The
road Is not much frequented. Her par
ents had been searching for her several
hours.
Upon being taken home she regained
consciousness and told her story. She
said she was picked up bodily by one of
the young men and carried into the
woods. She attempted to make an OUT
cry. but one OF them took her by the
throat and holding his hand over her
mouth threatened to choke her.
She was so badly frightened that she
soon became unconscious and remained
in that condition for some hours after her
assailants had fled. The attending ply
sician has fears that the girl will not re-
cover from the shock and brutal treat
ment. She was able to give description
of her assailants.
Bullock, who was the first one to ap-
proach her, is an old offender, and has
served twelve years in the State prison at
Trenton for marsiaughter. Schemeley
another member of the gang, is also an
ex-convict. They have been q terror to
the community. All were held without
bail for the action of the Grand Jury.

POLITICS ON THE BENCH.
Democrats Not Disturbed by Judge
RumseY's Queer Decision.

NEW YORK, Aug 6, 1S92-Not much
surprise was expressed among Democrats
this morning that Judge Rumsey Of
Rochester should have declared the Re-
apportionment act unconstitutional
The Democrats hardly expected any
other decision under the cir
cumstances of the case. They did
not contest the case, and the decision is
based on the one-sided argument pre-
sented by the Republicans. The Demo-
Gratis are confident that the Republicans
nave no standing In court when the case
rs presented on its real merits to the Gen
eral Term or the Court of Appeals, as it
certainly will to one or the other or both.
IL is not thought that the appeal will be
reached by the Court Of Appeals, if it is
taken to that tribunal, in time to
reach a decision for the issuing of
tne rail- election proclamations, and
the election would then be held un-
ger The new reapportion ment, but Gov.
Flower says he is ready to call an extra
session of the Legislature to reapporfion
the State should Judge Rumsey's decis-
ion be affirmed in time by the court Of
last resort.
Lieutenant Governor Shsehan says he
does not regard Judge Rumsey's decision
as amounting TO much. The Monroe
county Supervisors having refused to
reapportion the county into Assembly
Districts under the new apportionment,
Mr.. Sheehan says, Monroe county will
have to get along without representation
in The Legislature
The Democrats took no action on their
refusal, and Republican had to apply
for mandamus to compel the Supervisors
to act. The Monroe County Supervisors
are Republicans. Judge Rumsey is a
Republican aud the Judges Of the Gener-
al Term are Republicans.

DISSECTING THE CORPSE.
Republican M"gnates Investigating
the State of the Party.

The Federal Club house was the scene
of an unusually.large gathering of Repub-
licans last night. Great and small
crowded into the rooms and packed them
to suffocation. The cause of the gather
ing was the presence of subcommittee
of the State Committee, consisting of
John Kean, Jr., Major Anderson. Col.
John j. Toffey and Harvey Seymour. The
members of the subcommittee were re-
ceived by Mayor WanSer. ex-Mayor Col
lius, Postmaster Dickinson. Jimmy Love
and Alderman Dusenberry aud intro
duced by them to the small fry.
The subcommittee has been visiting
every county in the State for the purpose
OF ascertainfng in what stage of decay
Republican PRINCIPLES and clubs were.
Hudson county's representatives made a
terrific bluff at convincing the members
OF the subcommittee that all was well
in this quarter, bnt the visitors were not
so easily convinced of sue an absurdity.
Reports were made of healthy political
rganizations throughout the county.
Cheer after cheer was given until the gen.
tleman making the report interrupted the
hilarity by remarkinG that unfortunately
the well organized clubs were all Demo-
cratic. Perspiration started from johnny
Kean's brow and Colonel Toffey felt dis
pleased.
After the public meeting was held a
pow WOW of the big guns took place in
one of the ante rooms, and 1t was decided
that if the Republican party wished to
get even the aroma of an Office it would
be necessary to engage trucks imme-
diately to transport Johnny Kean and
Anti Whiskers Grubb's good money to
the Federal club house and dump it there.
