The law is &, curious thing. Haggerty,
the drunken fool who recently jumped
the Brooklyn bridge and swan ashore,
was seen by dozen persons to go over
the rail. Many people saw him turn SOM
ersaults in lively way during his vault
of t20 feet through the air. Perhaps
hundred individuals were looking at him
when he struck the water and came
spnttering up a dozen feet away from
where he went in. But the court could
find nobody to swear that he saw Hag-
gerty take the grand leap. Because Of
this the fellow was allowed to go free.
That he had jumped the bridge was as
plain as anything that ever did happen,
yet the law could find no evidence that
such was the fact.

shelled Rio Janerio. This circumstance is
also said to have occurred during Dom
Pedros reign and may account for the part
taken by Admiral Mello in the emperor's
removal. Dom Pedro appointed Admiral
Ladario, Radical to be minister of marine
and thereby offended some of the promi-
nent officers of the navy.
The year before Admiral Mello, in com
mand of the Almirante Darrosso, had taken
Dom Augustine, the emperor's grandson,
as a guest of honor to Chill, and the Chill
ians had entertained the Brazilians i'm fine
style. In return the admiral gave several
balls and dinners aboard his ship, the eX-
pense of which amounted to some 81. 500
This expenditure Minister Ladario refused
to allow, and Mello was obliged to pay the
bills out of his own pocket.
The minister's action incensed the whole
navy. Quintino Boscayuva, editor of O
Paiz, the leading paper of Rio, bitterly at
tackled LadariO, declaring that the nation
was disgraced by his refusal to honor bill
incurred under such circumstances. His
criticisms had great effect on the public
mind, and Mello was reimbursed by means
of a popular subscription. Boscayuva thus
became the hero of the naval party in Rio,
and when PeiXoto deposed Fonseca, who
had honored Boscayuva by making him

THE THReE.YEAR-OLDS.

Nothing more clearly illustrates the
real progress in the breeding and
development of trotters than the i'm
provement in the colt records within the
past few years. 1t is only ten years
since Kinda Rose reduced her three-year-
old record to ? 20, and her subsequent
mark of 2 :l94 was then considered won
derful. Less than five years ago the
three-year-old record stood at 2:lS,
but since that time such great reductions
have been made in all the colt records
that, Notwithstanding the fact of 2 20
still being fast for a three-year-od, so
many are beating that mark, and the re-
markable performance of Fantasy in re-
ducing this record to2 :0Sais so very sen-
sational that "A three-year-old with "A rec

MORGAN BLOOD IN THE TRO1
TER

A fact that is beyond the pale of argu-
ment, and one that is clearly apparent to
all observing breeders, is that the breed
ing world for the past ten years has been
guided and directed by single desider-
alum, and that was to produce speed to
the sacrifice of all desirable qualities in
the trotting horse. Speed, speed, speed
has been the guiding star. That SER
ious mistake has been made becomes
more clearly demonstrated each year,
and the breeder to-day who carefully
reads the signs of the times is now pay
ing close attention to producing the per-
feet individual as well az the speedy and
swift trotter. He no longer permits
speed to blind him to defective form and
individuality. lie understands fully
that the road horse, perfect in form, OF
style and high finish, is expected to be
among the products of his breeding
farm. Therefore, the blood that
furnishes these qualities in the happiest
form is now being sought after.
1t will not be gansald by those who
have familiarized themselves with
what constitutes IA perfect road horse,
that the Morgan family in this respect
stands in an enviable position. For the
past three years, with the purpose in
view to perpetuate the blood of the
sturdy Morgan family, many associa
tiOns have been formed throughout the
country, and the work accomplished APP
pears to furnish plenty oil reason for the
prediction that the American road horse
of the future will be one that possesse:
the qualities now so highly priced
style, speed, finish and q well-balancet
brain. 1t may be we'll for the breeders
to speculate upon the effect the infusion
of Morgan blood in the modern trottins
pedigree will have from a special stand
point. VIII close crosses of Morgan
blood with that of Hambletonian anC
his family be made to the detriment o
speed, is now being asked by mos
breeders. In referring to the result o

UNION PACIFIC DIFFICULTIES.
A Debt to the United States of S51, 900.
900 Among Its Liabilities.


The Union Pacific railroad has taken its
place in the long list of valuable corporate
properties now being run by friendly re-
ceivers" under direction of various federal
and state courts. The application for the
appointment of receivers was made by some
of the most prominent stockholders with the
avowed object of maintaining the proper
ties and interests of the road intact during
the legal struggles which it was anticipated
would ensue over its failure to meet various
heavy obligations soon to become payable
and which it has not the funds to settle.
An estimated falling off of $1,000, in the
receipts of the current year and the dissi-
patton of the surplus of S2,000,000 which it
had on hand at the end of 1892 show the
reason for this.
AS the pioneer of the great transconti-
mental railway systems, and because of the
great scandals connected with its inception,
building and early management, the Union
Pacific has in one way and another attract
ed a great deal of attention. 1t was in
corporated by acts of congress passed in
1862 and 1864 and was completed rs far
west rs Ogden, where it joined the Central
Pacific, in 1869. Then its total length was
1,043 miles. By consolidation with various
other roads in 1880, under the Gould man

agement, and by various additions since,
it's total length was increased to 1851 miles,
making it the second road in the United
States in the matter of mileage. 1t has
control of at least 30 branches and auxiliary
lines. It's obligations are somewhere in the
neighborhood of $500 900, but Vice
President Mink, who is one of the three re
ceivers appointed by the court and who has
been the roads comptroller for years, is
probably the only man living who can state
them accurately up to date.
President Silas II. II. Clark and Govern
ment Director f. Ellery Anderson are the
other two receivers. Mr.. Clark has been
president of the road for some time and
represents the Gould interest, which is very
large. He was the general manager OF the
Missouri Pacific for long time Mr. An
derson, who was recently made govern
ment director of the road by President
Cleveland, will continue to look after the
governments interests in the receivership.
The road owes the United States over $751;
100000.
