Passengers Complain of Their Treatment
BY the Northern r. r. of New Jersey.
P1ERMoNT, N. j., July 15.-Considerable
amusement is caused here nearly every
afternoon by the trains of the Northern
Railroad of New Jersey getting stuck.
The station is situated on a double curve,
and there is q slight grade, render
ing the worn-out engines in use by the
company about useless.
Some trains are delayed from five to
fifteen minutes nearly every day This
time is spent by the poor dilapidated To-
connective in making frantic efforts to do
something, while the train passengers

The Northern is making money enough

and give better train service.

srEKL AND IRON INDUSTRY.

Carroll D. Wright of the United
States labor bureau reports that the
cost of iron and steel production in this
country does not vary widely from the
cost of producing iron and steel in the
countries of Europe, and, when added
to this, the fact exists that the selling
cost of iron and steel in this country,
considering the output, ranges SO that
we pay on the whole $50, 0O0, 900 or $780,
000 600 year more for what we use
than we would pay on English prices,
the margin for profit which the protect
ing tariff affords to Mr. Carnegie and
others engaged in the same line of bust
ness becomes sufficiently obvious.
Under such condition, says an independ-
ent exchange, it is not at all strange
that the manufacturers do not care to
make an exposure, nor is it at all
strange that Mr. Carnegie, who started
with nothing few years ago, should be
able to figure his profits by the millions
of dollars year. 1t is for him and
those of his class that the protective
tariff was framed, and he and they can

time they are not likely to give away
their case-that is, to disclose the profits
of their business-to congressional

may be made as means of arriving al
the true inwardness of the Homestead

CLAIMS aggregating half million
dollars for over time in the distribution
and collection of the United States
mails are now in process OF adjustment,
and letter carriers throughout the
country are interested in the outcome.
Under the United States statutes fifty
six hours a week can be required of
carriers, and all work required of them
beyond this is reckoned as overtime.
Where the force is limited there is a
liability that carriers will often require
more time to do their work, and official
blanks are furnished all the free de-
livery offices for keeping the individual
time of each carrier. When the force is
supposedly adequate for the service the
working of overtime is discountenanced
by the postoffice department, and the
effect is that the postmasters are forced
to see that the carriers perform their
work in the allotted time.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

DEMOCRATS in congress believe that
the nomination of Weaver will close the
career of the third party, as far as the
south is concerned, as his speeches when
he was a republican-he has been every
thing-were so bitter against the south
that few southern men will vote for
him after reading them, and southern
democrats in congress will see that the
aforesaid speeches are given a wide Cir
culation in that section. Representa-
tive Hemphill of South Carolina says:
"All this talk of any other party except
the democratic carrying South Carolina
is bosh. Nine-tenths of our people were
for Cleveland and he will carry the state
by a larger ma ority than has been given
for years,

THE TARIFF ON STONE.

The Middletown Herald in its criti-
cism of Representative John L. Saxe's
speech at Cromwell, wherein he said
that the tariff on imported brown stone
was fourteen cents a cubic foot, I'M
blushingly declared that if the Mills bill
had passed all the quarries would be
closed. On that point a correspondent
writes:
The fact is that the three Portland
brown stone quarries leased the old
Cromwell quarry for three terms of five
years each, paying $1,000 a year, and
kept it lying idle to avoid the competi-
ton. When the Mills bill was before
congress few years ago the Portland
owners, who have become rich, very
stoutly opposed ten per cent re-
duction, claiming that such reduction
would admit Nova Scotia brown stone
and ruin their trade. Three years ago
Meriden parties, largely interested in
the Meriden railroad to Cromwell, Or
gained quarry company, bought land
north of the Consolidated railroad

done flourishing business, even fur
nishing stone for great public building

circumstances tho Portland quarry's
owners did not renew their lease of the

patrons of this old quarry, organized a
new company and this spring resumed
work with one hundred men and a
large number of cattle. II the Portland
quarry owners could pay 81 900 a year
for fifteen years, to prevent competi-
ton, could they not have done business
with ten per cent reduction of tariff,
which is only $1.6S in all on a ton of
stone. Stone CELLS for from fifty cents to
800 cubic foot, according to quality.

CHOLERA RIOT in RUSSIA.
The Masses Had Heard That Patients
Were Buried Alive.


Were Buried Alive.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 15.-Owing to a
report that the doctors were causing chol-
era patients to be buried alive, the lower
classes of the city of Saratoff rose in re-
volt against the authorities and the doc
tors on the 10th inst.
The excited populace wrecked and plum
dered the police station, cholera hospitals
and the residences of the Chief of Police
and physicians.
Several patients were dragged out of
one hospital to save them, as the ignorant
mon thought, from being buried alive.
The medical assistants were attacked, and
two of them were killed.
The rioters threatened to take full pos
session of the city, and would undoubted-
ly have done SO had it not been for the
opportune arrival of the troops who had
been summoned.
The mob resisted the soldiers, and the
latter were ordered to fire upon them A
volley was poured into the mob, killing
three of them and wounding four others.
The rioters then dispersed.

cable dispatches that have been filed id
London recently. The investigation thus
far points Enthusiastically to the fact that the
originators of the plot were in New York
with confederates here, who have been
acting under frequent cable instructions.
Mr.. Astor's representatives have seen
the original dispatch that was filed here
1t is belived they will be able to iden-
tify all concerned in the plot very soon.
They will make nothing public further in
the matter until they are compelled to.
1t is said that Mr.. Adams has intimated
that public prosecution is imminent.
