with Broughton street $500 one hundred
dollars that Ruth's papa would occupy the

From the Chicago Journal, NOU4.
Mrs. j. NJ. Hood. living at 737 Warren
avenue, had a peculiar experience a few
days ago. She was searching for a mislaid
article and was rummaging about ON the
closet shelves when she laid her hand on
lady's gold watch. 1t did not belong TO
her, and she was at a loss to understand how
1t came there. The incident worried her 30
that she finally went to the Office where MIR.
Hood is employed to tell him about it, Mr..
Hood was as much surprised as his wife.
and advised her to make further iuyesti-
CATION. Upon her return home she again
went to the closet shelf and there found her
silver spoons, which she had packed away
in a trunk in another room a few DAYS
before.I
The only.EsatisfsctorY explanation they
could find was that burglars had been In,
the house and had the gold watch with
them. They probably found the silver
spoons and we're looking in tho closet for
other valuables when they became fright
ened and hurried away, leaving the watch
and spoons lying on the shelf
Mrs. Hood has advertised the watch. but
30 far has failed to find an owner.

Is much larger in point of number Of men
employed than any other. The last report
OF the statistical department of the inter

419, and OF this average the section fore
men represented II and other trackmen

while the enginemen, f1remen, conductors
and all other trainmen aggregate only
9S to the mile, and numbered all told 1853, 235,
or about 81 900 less than the foremen and
trackmen alone. But since the date of the
report our railways have been increased by
over IL, 400 miles, and hence, assuming the
same rate per mile, the number of section
foremen and trRokmen is now about POS, 200

BILE by great scarcity of money, the di-
rect result of legislation favoring the
credit-owning capitalists ana hostile to
the wage Garner and producer, result
ing in the enforced mortgaging of lands
in Indiana to such an extent as to
threaten their loss.
The bill itself autho. ICES the secretary
Of the treasury to issue treasury notes

borrowing to one-half of the cash vaIua-
ton of his land. To secure a fair rate
of interest on the money loaned, the
governor OF the state is to collect semi
annually tax of l per cent and turn it
into the national treasury.
When the principal of the notes faEI
due, if the promissory notes are unpaid,
the mortgages are to be foreclosed and
the land sold. If there is no bidder for
a tract the land is to be bid in for the
United States, and the occupant is to be
permitted to remain upon it in conSId-
GRAFTON of the payment of a rental equal
to tax of per cent. a safeguard upon

the terms of the bill is provided in a
clause limiting their amount to total
