The idea has prevailed III some quarters
that Oklahoma would eventually absorb

BUSINESS OF THE ROADS


A Statistical Report the Condition O1
the Railways.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-The preliminary
report on the income and expenditure OF
railways for the fiscal year ended June 80,
tsrstate commerce commission. will be
made public soon. The gross earnings Of
12S. 1889 miles of railway arc shown 20
haye been S95l, ,225. l5o, from which the
gross earnings Of the entire railway system
is estimated to have been ST, 225, I'll sos, an
increase of $l29. 303 over the sarninQs
of the previous year, or An increase Of $G08
per mile. Tho operating expenses for the
year were $S14, 722, ,0S2, an increase OF &82,-
S34 189. whioh leaves the increase in net
earnings $44, 116. ia, or $2.472 per mile.
The actual increase in revenue from
passenger service WAS $3l, ,500.O3S. or $247
per mile. AZ against an inei ease in revenue
from freight service Of $9l, ,506 671. or $349
per mile OF line. The railways with the
largest increase in gross earnings per mile
are the lines connecting the wheat-Rrowing
territory with the ssaboard and those il
the southern states bordering ON the Gulf
Mexico. IL Is significant, however. to no
tice on these railways that the increase in
operating expenses 10 nearly equal to the
Increase in gross receipts.
The report shows the aggregate gross
earnings of sixty. two roads to be $79l, ,478.-
83l, being an average income Of $12.814, III.
Tho average gross revenue per mile for all
the roads was 81. A classification Of
the sixty-two roads in question shows that
eight receive each an income OF $40. 600 per
mile. The income for each of the remain
der WAS less than 81. 443 per mile. The dem
sity of passenger and freight traffic 10 also
given for each OF the roads whose gross rev.
enue exceeds $3.OO0.000. From what APP
pears in some parts OF the country there
was healthy expansion Of trade during
the last two years, while in other parts ths
increase of traffic for 1892 does little more
than balance the loss Of traffic for 1891.

Sydney Mccoy Meets HIS Death While
Seeking to Entertain Select Party
OF His Friends.

FAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-The old year
closed last night by unique and terrible
tragedy. by which Sydney Mccoy, a young
lawyer. aged 49, lost his life. and Miss
Grace King, aged 10. is in an unconscious
condition. A party of fifty friends assem-
bed last night et MoCoy's house, on Guer
rero street, to watch the old year out and
the new year in. The feature OF the even
ing's entertainment was the production of
q short play, written by Mccoy and per-
formed by amateurs. The plot of the play
was the betrayal of band Of Russian nj
hilists by one OF their number. The nihil
lists discovered their traitor and condemned
her to death. They dacide by lot who
shall perform the execution, and the num-
Der foil to the character portrayed by Nc
Coy. Miss King played the part of the
traitor. She is given the choice OF
being killed or stabbine herself and chooses
the latter alternative. Mccoy handed her
a stout dagger which had been in his fam
lily for many years. In tho plav the girl,
instead OF killing herself, was to stab hor
e1eoutioner and as Miss King received the
knife she reached forward to touch Mccoy
on the breast with the knife. At the same
instant Mccoy started toward the girl. when
she stumbled, and falling forward with the
dagger in her hand drove it through Mo-
Coy's heart. Mccoy showed wonderful
vitality and presence of mind. He walked
into the next room and asked for q doctor
and then fell dead. he girl knew there
had been an accident OF some kind, but did
not know Mccoy was killed. Sho was taken
home and afterwards OH tho advice of
friends gave herself up to the police. She
was taken to the city prison at three O. clock
in the morning and when che entered the
prison tainted and has since remained
unconscious. This morning McCoy's two
brothers secured her release by giving
bonds for $4,000 for her appearance. The
girl was then taken home and is in a criti-
cal condition. The accident is explained
by the fact that recently Miss King suffered
from sprained ankle, and she had been
using crutches to walk with. but had laid
them aside to practice her part in the play.
As she made the motion TO stab Mccoy she
rested her weight on her weak foot. it gave
way and she fell forward.

Mrs. John Tinker Committed Suicide at

Saturday morning MIR. Fred Sweetman re-
ceived letter from A. nj. Quivey convey
ing the information that Mrs. John Thinker
had committed suicide on Friday morning
by shooting herself at AL Morrison's ranch
on Sage creek, says the Billings Times.
The deceased had been staying at this
ranch, which ia about sixty miles from Bill
linRs on the ceded portion, while on her
way to Billings with her little boy. Mr..
Tinker is somewhere in the east. having
been away since last June. The cause of
her rash act is unknown, and various con-
lectures are iudulged in by her acquaint-
ances in Billings. Mr.. Sweetman left this
morning for the scene of tragedy. and will
bring the body here for interment. Mrs.
Tinker arrived at Billings from Deadwood
in 1882. at which time she was Miss Della
Sheldon, and carried on a dressmaking es-
tablishment until her marriage in the sum-
mer of 1883. She was warm hearted. i'm
pulsive woman. Both she and her husband
were intensely fond of their fine, little boy.
1t must have been that she WAS temporarily
insane at the time she rashly took her life.
