A comparison Of the vote just cast in
Rhode Island in the Presidential year of
1892, with the vote cast in the Presidential
year of lS8S-in both of which elections
National issues were made in addition to

that the Democrats have gained. Here are

soNE WORK FOR RAIR0AD COW

On and after the Isl of June, Railroad
Commissioner Hill is likely to be busy
officer under the new railroad law which
goes into effect on that day. The press of
the State which opposed the Kent bill, spoke
SO highly of its substitute, the Mason bill,
and promised so much fo1 it that the farm
ers and shippers Of Virginia are looking
forward to that day with expectancy, and
are hunting up their complaints for the
Commissioner. A large shipper writes to
the INDICATOR to complain of the lack
of depot facilities at Verona in this coun-
ty, q station on the Valley Ry. He says
that there are not less than from 500 to 600
cars OF freight going to and from that sta.
tion annually. it being one of the largest
freight receiving points on the road be-
tween Harrisonburg and this city. There
is also good passenger traffic, and yet he
says, there is no Agent there to give bill

EXPERT KERR'S REPUTATION.
How He Parted With it at the Au-
burn Citrus Fair.
He Could Not Tell the Difference Be-
tween California-Raised Figs and
the Imported Article.

An incident occurred during the recent
Citrus Fair at Auburn, which, while it
was immensely amusing to those who
were Gin on the joke" was also Illus
trative of California's advancement to-
ward perfection in handling dried fruits.
James Kerr of this county was there
viewing the various products. Mr.. Kerr
is generally acknowledged to be one of
the best experts on figs in the State. lie
wandered around until he reached the fine
raisin and fig exhibit of L. IL. Carey,
who has a big orchard near Lincoln.
Carey and Kerr were old acquaintance,
and their conversation reverted to figs.
Mr.. Carey declared that, in his opinion,
the California producers had reached that
degree of perfection in raising. drying
and packing figs that had made the
Turks and Smyrnites world-famous. Mr..
Kerr would not consent that this exalted
station had been reached yet, and main
tanned that a schoolboy could tell the
difference between Symrna figs packed
abroad and those packed at home.
Mr.. Carey'S eyes twinkled and then he
invited Mr. Kerr to accompany him TO an
adjoining eXhibit-that of William Eos
ter, who is a neighbor of Mr.. Carey's
near Lincoln.
Mr.. Foster had on exhibition some fine
looking Smyrna figs which he had la
beled Fosters best" Pointing to these,
Mr.. Carey said: Now, there's an exam
pie of what we can do in California?
Don't they look fine? Try one.'
Mr.. Kerr admitted that they were ex-
cellent
Now try some of these" suggested
Mr.. Carey, pointing to another box, the
contents of which looked very much like
Fosters best"
Mr.. Kerr did so, but did not like them
so well as the others-still they were
good, no doubt about that. But" he
added, ''while we are no doubt producing
a fine article here, we can't touch the for
eigners yet"
well, my dear friend said Mr. Carey.
bubbling over with mirth, your theories
don't seem to hitch with your judgment.
Those last figs you tasted, and which you
did not like so WELL were imported from
Turkey for the special purpose of COM
pairing them with Fosters best and APP
parently you -''
But Mr.. Kerr wanted to hear no more.
He banged his hat on the floor, kicked
himself, and then rushed out of the
building, followed by the uproarious
outlaws of the heartleSs Carey.

She Was Not One of the Looked-For
Loonis CounterfeIters.
The passengers on the special train
from Auburn Sunday night were treated
to little excitement while en- route to
this city.
After the train left Loomis, an Italian
and woman of the same nationality
were noticed in one of the coaches, acting
rather strangely. and the idea that
they might be the coonterfeiters, whose
operations In a cave near LoOmis were
discovered, became fastened in the minds
of several.
The woman appeared as though slightly
under the influence of liquor, and several
times she walked over to where the man
was sitting and slapped him repeatedly
IN the face. She accused him of having
trled to run away from her after making
a great amount of money.
Before the train reached this city, r. Z.
Montgomery, the private secretary OF
superintendent j. B. Wright, telegraphed
to have an officer on hand at the depot on
the arrival of the train. The passengers
agreed to use their efforts to keep the
couple from jumping off, and they sue
eeeded. The man attempted to jump at
Sixth street, but was prevented from do
ing so.
When the train reached the depot the
woman alghted on the north side and
started to run, but was caught Officer
Mclaughlin took the man in charge, and
the couple were taken to Jail.
Captain Lee and Jailer Clark inter
viewed them, and soon came to the con-
clusIon that they were not the LOOMS
counterfeiters. Both were allowed to go,
but the woman was brought in again
yesterday afternoon and charged with
disturbing the peace. She is well-known

The case of the city against H. F.

Catlin's court yesterday.
The defendant waived the jury, hereto

and submitted on briefs. A decision will
be reached in the course of a few weeks
The argument of the defense is that
the city license ordinance had not been
legally passed, inasmuch as Trustee Nc

notice reconsideration, and never again
called the matter I'D.
