A Decision Handed Down by Justice
Brewer I'm the Southern
Pacific Case.
He Holds That the Lands In Question
Belong to the United States
Government.
The Property Worth Several Millions,
Consisting OF Land Valued ut
$40 to $50 an Acre.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-The supreme
court of the United States, in an opinion
delivered by Associate Justice Brewer,
decided the long pending controversy
between the United States and the
Southern Pacific railroad over certain
valuable lands situated between the
Colorado river and the Pacific ocean
within the limits to the grant to the At
lantic and Pacific railroad company and
which the Southern Pacific claimed as
successor to the Atlantic and Pacific.
The court below decided for the South
ern Pacific company in all the cases.
Justice Brewer held, that the title
OF the lands in question vested
In the Atlantic and Pacific were
forfeited by the act Of congress
OF 1885 and did not pass to the
Southern Pacific railroad, but was
thereby restored to the public domain,
and therefore the title rests in the
United States. The decision of the
lower court is reversed, with instruc.
tions to issue a decree giving the United
States the relief asked.
Tho property in question is valued at
several millions of dollars, consisting of
land worth $40 to $50 an acre.

previous year covered by reports to the
commission. The number killed during
the year was 7,019 and the number in
jured was 33,8Sl. or these
the number of employees killed
was 2,86D and the number
injured was 28 140 The number of
passengers killed was 369 and the
number injured 7,74l. This report en-
phasizes more strongly than previous
reports the necessity OF legislation COM
pelling railways to adopt train brakes
and automatic couplers, and also sug-
gast that some steps be taken besides
the adoption of the train brake to pre-
vent the frequency of casualties from
trains and engines. The large number
killed and injured from collisions also
brings prominently into notice the ne
cessity of some extensive use of the
block system in the handling of trains
and more perfect application of the
principle of personal responsi bility in
the case Of accidents. An investiga-
tion into the matter of handling trains
is recommended.

GAVE HERSELF UP.

The Wife of the Notorious Apache Kid
surrenders to the Authorities.
Ell PAso, Tex, Dec. 13.--From pas
sengers on the Southern Pacific express
from the West it was learned that the
wife of kid" the notorious Indian
refugee, had returned to the San Carlos
reservation and surrendered. She has
accompanied "Kid" on all of his mur-
derous raids in Arizona and New Mexico
and talked freely of his exploits. From
her it was learned that Kid
had committed many murders
which had been charged to
others. From her description the
whereabouts of the small band of rene
gades are in the mountains in the
vicinity of Duncan, A. T., without food
and shelter and suffering greatly from
cold and exposure. She confirms the
belief of the army officers that her chief
will never surrender to the authorities
or return to the reservation, but will es.
cape into Mexico, where he has
friends and will be protected. Every
effort is being made by the army to cap
ture Kid and to see that his small band
is not reinforced from the reservation.
His thorough knowledge of the country
makes it almost impossible to effect his
capture, and while he has been sur.
rounded many times and escaped when
almost impossible, he has in some mys-
terious manner got through the regulars
lines and began a new series of murders.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
Has Submitted Its Annual
Report.
A Lot OF Statistics Which Show the
Condition OF the Railways OF '
the Country.
More Accidents the Past Year Than In
ANY Other In the History Of the
United States.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The fourth
statistical report of the interstate COM
merce commission prepared by its stat
istican, Mr.. Caesar, which has just been
submitted, gives complete epitome of
railroad progress in the United States
for the period covered, railway
mileage in the United States
on June 30, 1891, (not counting double
tracks, was f6S, 1924 miles. Connecti-
cut had TO every 100 square miles of
territory over 30 miles Of track, Della
ware 26 miles, Illinois lS miles, Iowa 10
miles, Massachusetts, rs miles, New
Jersey ~ miles. New York is miles,
Ohio 10 miles, Pennsylvania 80 miles.
The only countries in Europe which
have an excess of ten miles per 100
square miles of territory are Germany
with 10 miles, Great Britain with l6
miles, France with II miles, Belgium
with 28 miles, Holland with Is miles
and Switzerland with IL miles. No
country in Europe, Sweden alone ex-
cepted, has ten miles of line per 10000
inhabitants, while in this country but
two states have less than ten miles of
railway per 10000 inhabitants. The
increase in railway mileage during the
year was 1850 miles. This is less than
the average for several years past. The
greatest activity in railway building
seems to have been in the states lying
south of the Ohio and east of the
Mississippi. There are l,7s5 rail-
road corporations, of which $50
were independent companies for the
purpose of operation and 7S7 were
subsidiary companies the remainder be-
ing private lines. The total number of
locomotives used by the railways was
30, ,139, showing an increase of 1900 dur
ing the year and the total number Of
cars the property of railroads was l,215,-
Gil, showing an increase of 45,944 dur
ing the year. The number OF men en-
ployed during the year covered by the
report was 1884, .225, being an increase of
84,yS4. The total capitalization of the
railways of the United States was So
S28, Ate, ,O15 or 500, ,94s per mile of line.
This shows an increase in outstanding
capital of $500 per mile of line as COM
pared with the previous years report
The gross earnings from operation
during the year were $l,096, ,76l 1896 or
$6.S01 per mile Of line. Operating ex-
penses were $73i, ,S87, 1893 or S45,53S per
mile Of line, leaving a net income from
operation Of 1864 4,s73, ,5O2 or 81, ,263 per
mile Of line. The number of passen-
gers carried during the year was 53l,-
133,9S8 The number of tons of freight
carried was 675 sos 323.

KEEP YOUR HEAD CLEAN.

Keeping the head perfectly clean
is great aid to health. \ distin.
guished physic an, who has spent
much Of his time at quarantine, said
that a person whose head was
thoroughly washed every day
rarely eve took contagious
diseases but when the hair was
allowed to become dirty and matted
it was hardly possible to escape
infaction. Many person find speedy
relief for nervous headache by wash
ing the head thoroughly in weak
soda water We have known cases
almost wholly cured il ten minutes
by this simple remedy. A friend
finds it the greatest reliet in case of
rose cold, " the cold symptoms en-

should be thoroughly dried after
wards, and draughts of air should
be avoided for little while.

GIRLS WHO HAVE PUSH.

There is an interesting group OF
bright girls at the New England Con-
se1vat0ry of Music, in Boston, who
represent the quality OF push charac
teristic Of the American girl. There
are some thirty five Of these girls, and
they are being musicallY and vocally
educated by The Ladies Home Jour,
nal of Philadelphia. Some time ago
this magazine offered as a stimulant to
girls to get sub. Criptions for 1t, free
education at the Conservatory. The
American girl is quick to s-e a chance,
and one by one these thirty five girls
have come from all parts OF the
country to Boston. They receive the
very best the Conservatory affords, the
most desirable rooms in the building
are theirs, and they have ali their wants
carefully looked after by a wealthy
periodical Perhaps in no other
country or the face of the globe could
such thing be possible. These gnls,
too the reporter was told, belong to
nice families, but they preferred to
earn their own musical education rather
than depend on the family purse. OF
