RAIL AND CROssrIE

The RdiLtUdy Age and Northwestern
RdtLroddsr says There are about 800 600
employees in the service of the railways of
the United States. An increase OF wages of
80 cents day to all employees (supposing
one halt OF the entire number to work on
Sundays and the other half to be paid for
only six days in the week. would make
being SOL 10 to the man a year-e total in
crease in payment for wages on all the rail-
ways of $S7 ,000, 900 annually. But during
the year 1891 the entire amount of money
paid in dividends on all the stock Of all the
railways Of the country only amounted to
SS9,OO0 900. SO that q general increase
in wages of only 80 cents a day
would just about wipe out the en-
tire revenue of the railways of the
United States available for dividends. As
matter of fact the result would be even
more appalling than tho above statement
indicates The dividends which are paid
are paid on the stock of a comparatively
small number of companies. OF the entire
amount Of stock of all railways In the
country amounting to some 81 500, 600
600 nearly $3.000,0O0,000 are already
unproductlve OF revenue, or about
81 per cent. The least productive
hnes OF course are those of the west and
southwest But the employees are scattered
all over the country, AID the burden of in
creased wage payment would have to be
| borne in the southwest as well az in New
England. Thus, there are &c, 900 employees In
the state of Texas-which at so cents a dav
amounts to over SO 900, 900 annually. But
the interstate commerce commissions terri

Texas the total dividends" were some
thing less than 81, ZOO, and, in the language
OF the statisticiau to the commission, net
earnings were a minus quantity :"

TO CHECK BARREL STEALING.

A Practice That the Authorities are
Called Upon to Put a stop to.
The annual stealing of barrels and boxes
by the small boy for Christmas bonfres has
begun. The raids in the neighborhood of
the Park extension are most annoying to
residents Of that portion of the city, although
hardly less annoying to residents in
the neighborhood of the squares north of
the park.
The thievery has heretofore been re-
garded with leniency, but it has about
ceased to be looked upon as joke, and the
police will make an effort TO put stop to
it in a measure at least. Instead of conhn
ing their stealing to barrels, it has become
| a general raid on everything that will burn.
The locks OF back gates are broken, fence
boards and pickets are torn off, and in some
instances fences have been torn down and
everything that will make blaze is taken,
not Ouly boxes and barrels, but wash tubs,
coal bins. oil cans and even step ladders
and flower trelises.

approve it by failing to correct what is
equally as much a robbery as il a house

gentleman on Duffy street, whose yard has
been entirely cleaned out at loss to him of
nearly $40, has secured the names Of the
boys who raided it, aud has turned them

to put check on what is becoming not only
an expensive annoyance to citizens. but

Comedians.

Vernona Jsrbeau and Her CAST Of
.., Comedians.
IL could not be expected that large
audience would attend the performance at
the theater last night when there was
circus in town, and besides the weather was
exceedingly Indictment, but nevertheless a
good audience of appreoiative theatre-goers
went to see Jarbeau and her talented
comedians. For three hours the house re-
sounded with applause and laughter, and
its appreciation Of a performance that
pleased.
The usual number Of "knock-down-and-
drag-oup dramas which are presented
have ne relationship to the presentation of
mirth and genuine fun which is ex hibited
by the artists in Jarbeau's company. An
inveterate play-goer may attend the re-
vised performance of starlight" and be
pleased with the absence Of stale jokes the
situations and sayings which will amuse him
to such an extent that he will consider the
Jarbeau performance par eacelIeRce.
Several people in the company have been
with Jarbeau for number of seasons One
of the new members of the cast is Miss Lil-
liam Pool AN attractive young lady who was
given a warm reception and received gener-
GUS applause last night. She is an actress
of no mean ability and her painstaking
efforts merit toe recognition she received.

mony in a recent case led TO the action

was the evidence the mayor counted on

to secure him as a witness drops the case
temporarily.

CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS.
GEN. LAwToN's ESTIMATE OF THE
DEMOCRACY'S CHANCES.

The Republicans Putting IN Effective
Work in New York aud Democratic
Effort Needed to Counterfeit Their
Moneyed influence - Gen. Lawton
Called on Mr.. Cleveland But Didn't
Talk Politics.
Gen. A. r. Lawton has returned home,
after three months vacation in the north,
greatly improved in health. During his
stay in New York city Gen. Lawton me- all
the men prominent in democratic councils
and talked with them on the political
situation.
"Ihey are all very confident" said Gen.
Lawton, las to New York giving her elect
oral vote for Cleveland and Stevenson, and
seem to think the outlook all over the
country bright for democratic success. The
republicans, however, are working desper-
ately to secure the state, and there is no
telling what they may effect between now
and the election with the enormous sums Of
money they are pouring into the state.
There is no doubt about their intention to
use money in every possible way. and bav-
ing ludlcious managers in this respect at
work they may be able to do some harm to

Lawton, land bad a very pleasant inter

such things, but from his manner believe

heard Mr.. Cleveland deliver his speech be-
lore the democratic clubs recently in New
York, and it was one of the best speeches of
Its character l ever heard. He impresses
one by his cool, calm demeanOr and master

Gen. Lswton said that opinion Is consid-
erably divided on the nomination of two
democrats for the mayoraltY of New York
city. Some think it will have the effect OF
bringing out the full vote of the party aud
thus materially aid the national ticket,
while others feel that the effect will be OPP
posite.
Gen. Lewton also had a talk with
ex-> Mayor Grace on the subject,
and the leader OF the anti-TammaHYites
expressed himself as opposed to the split on
the ground OF party policy. Many Of Mr..
traces followers, however, did not feel like
leaving anything in the hands of Tammany
Hall with nothing as security except the
simple promise Of the Tammanyites that
they would do the right thing by the party.

from the PtttSbuT0 Times.
Mrs. j. j. Beacon of Forest Grove Is all
ing from blood poisoning contracted while
engaged in dressing one of D. K. Ewing's
children for burial in the early part of last
winter, and her sufferings have been such as
few are called to undergo. Ora. Duff and
Conkle are unable to tell what the result
will be. First one of her fingers was sm-
putased. A second operation, more painful
than the first, wns found necessary, and
since that time the unfortunate wonan's
arm has been lanced thirteen times. and on
several occasions 1t has been necessary to
force the lance entirely through between
the bones Of the forearm. The constant
pain has 80 affected her nervous system that
1T was almost impossible to persuade her to
submit to tho last operation, she preferring
TO die rather than endure the pain and the
doctors fear to risk the use of an an@sthetic.
The trouble was caused by her using a
needle which had come in contact with the
corpse to remove splinter from her finger.

TIE c1Rous, RAINY DAY.
Great Expectations Hardly Realiz ed
by the Performances.

by the Performances.
Forepaugh's circus was IN town yester-
day, but it cannot be said that it was
great success either financially or artis-
tically, chiefly due to the circumstances.
The parade in the morning was not a brill
liant one. Perhaps the reason why il and
the show did not come up to the fullest ex-
pectations was the rain, which, besides in
terfering with the performances, kept many
away who would otherwise have gone.
Considering this drawback there was a
good attendance.
At night, when the weather was more
propitious, the seating capacity of the tent
was taxed. The acts were cut short, how
ever, and during the performance portions
Of the main tent were being removed, which
made the audience restless. The Fall of
Nineveh," which was the feature of the
afternoon performance, was omitted last
night.
Some features were especially fine, par
ticularly the three aerial gymnasts who
made the blood curdls by their daring feats
In midair. The races which were the last
feature we're good.
The circus labored under a great disad-
vantage owing TO the rain.
The parade in the morning passed through
the streets in a drenching rain, but this
did not deter the crowd Of small boys from
following, or a large number OF old boys
from standing on tue corners in the rain to
see it. No special incident happened until
the procession was between Congress and
Broughton streets. There mule attached
to a dray became frightened at the ele-
plants and dashed away at breakneck
speed. The driver soon afterWard
gained control and no damage was done
The police say that, considering it was Cir
Gus day yesterday was remarkably quiet.
No unusual arrests we're made, and very
few of any kind. There was large crowd
of country negroes in town to see the show.
They came in companies and generally
marched that way through the streets.
All the street car lines leading to the
grounds were taxed to their fullest capacity
both morning and night. They reaped a
rich harvest.
Forepaugh's show has not been successful
in the south this season and the manage
ment threaten never TO come back again.
The circus went to Charleston last night.

OUT OF TIE SOUTH BOUND.

ID. 6. Cowan Resigns the General
Freight and Passenger Agency.
Mr. D. s. Cowan, Jr., has resigned the
general freight and passenger agency of the
South Bound railroad and his resignation
has been accepted. Ne appointment has as
yet been made to fill the vacancy.
MIR. Cowan has been with the South
Bound thirteen months, having been chief
clerk under Mr.. Babbitt. the former gen
eral freight and passenger agent, when the
road only extended to Fairfax, sixty-five
miles from Savannah. He was appointed
to his late position July last. He has been
an efficient officer and is thoroughly con-
versant with the requirements of his special
departments, and has labored faithfully for
the promotion of the interests of the South
Bound.
Mr.. Cowan's future plans are not known,
but it is probable that he has some other
position in view, however.

S some Unimproved Property Brings
Big Prices.
There can be no doubt as to the increas-
ing values Of real estate in and about Sa-
vannab. If there are any people who have
doubts on the subject, such doubts will be
dispelled when a real estate transaction
which was consummatsd yesterday is
known. The Cell and Quint property on
Waters road, and extending from Valid
burg street to Anderson, was sold by Row
land & Myers to J. s. Collins for S55, 600
The property is unimproved and two years
ago was valued at $4,000. The increase
in the valuation since that time clearly
shows that real estate in and around the
city is in demand and will further advance
as improvements are made.
