John Sweitzer, a wealthy German, Of
Wiiksharre, Pa, has Just had ii remark

Nr. Swcitzcr wrote the agency, asking
for a strong German girl who was capa-

agency secured that kind of "A girl at
Castle Garden, and sent her on TO Wilks-
barre.
Her name was Catharine GottIieb, and
she was "a powerful woman. Sweitzer,
who Is little man, at first objected 10
her mammoth proportions, but finally
consented to marry her. The Amazon
then demanded some Of the old fellow :
property before allowing the knot TO be
tied. This was granted, and the coy
damscl and old Sweitzer were made one
and a-haf On the second day after
the marriage the little husband alleges
his wife began to abuse him.
She rolled up her sleeves and proceeded
To demonstrate her advertised house

and she promptly knocked him down

into the cellar. The woman then pack

ceived during his few awful moments

An Infuriated Elephant.

PERU, Ind, Jan. 1O.-Diamond, a
ponderOUs elephant IN winter quarters
two miles east of this city, got on a ter
rible rampage yesterday and in a short
time did great deal Of damage to the
building where he was confined, besides
killing two horses and a valuable dog.
He had been unruly for some time, but
yesterday, while no one was about, he
managed in some way to slip his chain.
The first object of his wrath was a
bulldog, which he sent flying through a
skylight sixty feet away. Than he ran
his tusks into the body of one of the
horses, who, like the dog, had been a
constant companion of the elephant foI
five years, and ran around the enclosure
with the poor brute writhing, but un-
able to free himself.
Then he threw the horse across the
room and tore mis- way into another
room, where he killed another horse.
The noise finally attracted his keeper,
who, with the assistance Of about fifteen
employees, drove him back TO his corn
er, where they chained him.

THE Engineering Ne,rs, publishes its an
nual summary Of track laid in the Uni
ted states during the year.
According 10 the figures here given
there have been I.0g3 miles Of new rail
way constructed between January /,
1891, and January l, 1892, which brings
the total mileage of the United States
up to III, ,IO6 This is "a decrease of 1 ,574
miles from last years figures, or the
smallest mileage built during any year
since lSs5, when only 3,131 miles Of
new railway constructed between Janua-
~ /, 1891, and January l, 1892, which
brings the total mileage Of the United
States upto III, 1o6. This is a decrease
Of /, ,574 miles from last years figures.
or the smallest mileage built during any
year since 1855, when only 3,l31 miles
of track were laid
This decrease is quite evenly distribu-
ted over the country, each group of
states showing a decrease, with the ex-
ception of New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Maryland, which show an
increase of % per cent. over last year,
and the largest mileage constructed dur
ing any year since 1888. The six South
Atlantic States have laid the largest
amount Of new track, 1,O96 miles, and
the six New England States the smallest
30 miles.
The State of Pennsylvania heads the
list with 25S miles, and is followed in
order by Georgia, Washington and South
Carolina, with 2I4 miles respectively.
No track was laid in the State Of Con
necticut, Delaware, Mississippi or the
territory of Arizona. The Stateof Kan
sas. which laid I ,526 miles in 1856, 2,1O2
in 1887, and sos miles in 1855, has laid
less that two miles in 1891. Among the
other states which have laid small
amounts are Maryland, three miles, and
Rhode Island four miles.

A MOnums 10 BambletOnian.

CHESTER, y. j., Jan. 1O.-Old Hamblc-
tonian, the founder of the great race Of
American trotterS, has been dead nearly
sixteen years. Ever since his death
periodical movements have been made
to erect a monument to the ''old horse, 4"
but none ever succeeded. Joseph How
land Guy Miller, the well-known Chester
horsemen, recently took hold of the
matter, and the long deferred monument
is now an assured thing. The design Is
to be a heroic bronze statue of Old Ham
bletonian, which viii cost $4,000. The
sum of $4,000 has already been subscrib-
ed, Senator Leland Stanford contrib
uting $500 of the amount Subscrip-
tons are being received daily from
horSemen from all over the country, by
Messrs. Rowland and Miller The
statue will be erected in Chester The
grave of Hambletonian is on the crest
of hill a mile east OF the village, on
the old Rysdyk estate.

The khedive's Death.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Jan. i1.-The Official
Journal announces the accession of
Prince Abbas to the throne of Egypt.
y dispatch from Cairo says that a false
report wasput in circulation to the effect
that DIR. Selim, one of the native phvsi-
clans who had attended the khedive dur
ing his illness, had made "A fatal blunder
in administering am overdose of NOR
phine, and that when the ruler died and
the doctor realized the result of his mis-
take he had become terror stricken and
fled from the place and put an end to
his life. Upon investigation it was con-
clusively proven that the story was a IA
brication pure and simple. Samuel
Briggs, of Cleveland, o., imperial poten-
tate, has issued proclamation to the
nobility of the Mystic Shrine of North
America, formally announcing the death
of the khedive of Egypt.

The three principal grain crops IA the
Unitc, States are Corn, wheat and oats,
comparing III area, product and value
in the order named and yielding t. the
farmers Il tota! value last year of 81 oo2,
224. poo. The total area devoted 10 the
three crops was III, 7O3, 21S acres, or
tyitle les than i've times the ARA IF the
State of Pennsylvania, and the crop IN
bushels aggregated az follows: Corn,
- O6u. ia 600, wheat, Gll. .4Su,ttu, the
largest ever grown in the country 10y
nearly 100. .OOO. 600 bushels, and oats.
73S. .394, coo, In value they divide a.
follows: Corn, 1886, 42g 22S: wheat,
&5l3. ~. III and oats. S252, ,3l2,2 POI.
Corn occupied 76, 204, 5l5 acres, OF a trl-
tie more than two and hall times the
area Of Pennsylvania; wheat, 33,9i6, SH1
acres. or about one third more, and oats,
-, Dol SOL acres, or one fifth less than
the area of this State. 1t thus appears
that the three great grain crops of the
country are grown upon less than one
thirteenth of its area exclusive of Alaska,
and that, although cotton may be king
20 far - exports are concerned, corn X
really the king crop of the country.
Of the corn growing States Iowa stands
Illinois second with 23I $50. 600. Mis-
souri third with POS. PIC, 600, Nebraska
fourth with 167, CO., 600, and Kansas
fifth with 14l, ,S93, 900 bushels Penn
sylvania's IS. 527 600 bushels cuts a
small figure bv the side of the States
above named, but It's crop l. more than
double that OF New York with about the
same area IN square miles. The greatest
wheat growing State is Minnesota with
oo,3:j3, 600; Kansas crowds ii hard with
o4,SG6. 600: Indiana Is third with -
SoI 600, and North Dakota fourth with
-, lO5, 600. these four States. compris-
ing all with a crop Of 30, 900, 600 bush
els and upward. Ohio is fifth in the list
with 10, 531 600 bushels. California sixth
with &6, 595, 600, Illinois seventh with
%, O25, O00, Michigan eighth with 80.
.O5. 900, and SOuth Dakota ninth with
29,1l4.OOo Pennsylvania grew 20, 5 81,
600, nearly enough to furnish bread foT
It's own population, and twice the New
York crop. Illinois had the largest oats
crop, III, ,0@5, ,O0O bushels and Iowa the
second largest. 102, ,577 coo, these two
being the only States producing 100
600. 600 bushels and upward. In the
production of oats New York leads
Pennsylvania with Il crop of II .Sg4 ,OOO
against 3&, 7O4, 900 bushels in the latter
state.
The South does not figure largely in
any Of the three grain crops mentioned,
the grain belt being bounded on the east
by the Hudson, on the north by the
Canada line. on the South 10y Mason
and DiXon'S line, the Ohio river and the
southern line Of Missouri and Kansas,
and on the west 10y the Pacific. The
figures for the year Just closed are cnor-
mons and almost stagger belief. hut the
small area devoted to these crops shows
that We could increase our grain output
indefinitely if there were demand for
it. Dollar wheat, foIty-cent corn and
thirty-cent oats can be grown on an area
several times ~ great as that which pro
duced the phenomenal crops Of lS9l--
PhHG. Times.
