POlsONEDTHED DERBY FAVORlTE
Reward of S25, 600 for the Arrest of the
Offender.

LONDON, April 30.-The statement
is made by the Duke Of West
minister that his race horse Orme had
been poisoned by someone interested
in preventing him from winning the
race for the 1000 guineas. The horse
continues to get better, however, and he
is the favorite in the betting for the
Derby. The horses condition was such
few days ago that his owner was COM
PEELED to scratch his entry for the 1000
guineas, but the betting tor the Derby
shows that no doubt is being enter
tanned of his being all right when the
race is run. The Duke of Westminster
is naturally very indignant at the de-
spicable trick of the sharpers, and he
has offered reward Of 900 for in

RAILROAD ITEMS.

Some idea of the immensity
of the Pennsylvania railway
property may be seen in the fact
that fleet of 295 tugs, ferry boats,
lighters and freight vessels belong
ing to the company saluted President
Roberts upon his departure last
week for Europe.
One of the interesting rumors of
the day is to the effect that the Wells,
Fargo, Adams, and American Ex-
press companies have combined in
an offer to buy the full control of the
United States Express company.
Should such a deal be consummated
the purchasing companies would each
take third of the business of the
United States company.
The beauties of state control of
railroads are well shown in the re-
cent excitement in Chill, where cri-
sis was nearly provoked in conse-
quence of the appointment of officers
for the management of the controlled
roads. The political complexion of
the management would influence
many thousand votes, which leads
very naturally to inteure party strife.
Allen Marvel, president of the
Atchison, Topeka &c Santa Fe, who
has been spending few days in Gal
weston, in reply to a query when Gal
weston was gong to get a new depot,
said: "If we had the earnings which
the railroad commission has knocked
us out of we might erect the kind of
depot that Galveston needs, but as
the matter stands now there is no
telling when we can give you a new
depot"

ingly. 1 have used water for bath,

the average has not exceeded $l.75
per month. We have water closet,
one urinal, one wash sink and bar
connection, together with neighbors
using considerable. Will state we
have not been saving of water; have
used all the water necessary"
Fairbanks 81 Co. write: "Our me-
ter rates for jewelry store and seven
rooms above have been
from Is to 25 cents per month"
This certainly can have very little
bearing on our water case, as the
new Ration company only took pos
session July l, and before that time
the water used In the town came
from the Santa Fe company's supply.
What rates they gave we do not
know, but if the above are their rates
it certainly was made to the citizens
at cost, which is likely the case, so
many residents being railroad men.
The tariff of the new company as
given in their published rates explic- /
lily states that no meter shall return
less than 80 per month.

special deputies who will issue
bench warrants on the leaders of the

have greater effect at Homestead
than even the troops. The fact that
those arrested will be put in jail and
can not be released under bail, will
take many of the leaders away and
their counsel will be missed. On the
other hand, it is claimed that this
step may cause the more hot-headed
to break out as soon as the cooler
leaders are arrested. Nothing will
be done before tomorrow by the
sheriff, and by that time he will be
fully supported by the militia. How
the men will take the wholesale ar
rests is question, but they will
