MILES OF SHADE TREES.

Tie New Secretary Of Agriculture Suggests Ma
tional Forestry Laws.
Despite the fact that ! should be
jubilant over my recent elevation, !"
said j. Sterling Morton recently, " /
am troubled. Every day that passes
sees the timber-producing land Of this
country reduced by $4,000 acres.
There are 100000 acres Of timber
left in this country, and at this rate Of
destruction it will last but gener-
alton.
The most important matter that
will occupy my attention when ! enter
the Cabinet as Secretaryof Agriculture,
will be the preparation Of national
forestry laws, to be presented through
some kindly Congressman to Congress.
4 Nearly 5000 ties are consumed for
each mile Of railroad track laid, and
they last from two to six years, accord
ing to the ballast. Now, what great
benefit would be derived by securing
Legislation that would make the rail-
roads utilize theiefight Of way to plant
trees for their own consumption.
Think Of an arbor reaching from Jer-
sey City 10 San Francisco, from ocean
to ocean. You would be able to travel
this distance in an arbor, cool and
dustless in summer and free from snow
in winter, were the railroads to set
frees each, side Of their track.

What might have proved very
serious accident happened to Mr.. Geo.
c. Kilmer this morning in the b. & o.
R. r. boiler shop. Shortly after go
ing to work, at o'clock, Mr.. Kilmer
was engaged in hoisting huge block
Of iron, weighing over 700 pounds; and
after reaching some distance from the
floor the pulley chain broke. In the
fall the iron caught his right foot,
MASKING it terribly. Drs. Myers and
Snodgrass were called in, and found
il necessary to amputate the two first
toes. Mr.. Kilmer is doing very well
at this time, and hopes are entertain
ed Of saving the foot. Had he been a
little closer at the time the block fell,
doubtless the accident would have
proven fatal.

4 Large Barn With its Entire Contents Entirely
Destroyed.
Another very serious and disastrous
fire occurred yesterday morning, near
Spring Mills, in the northern part Of
this county. Mr.. John S. Ropp, an
extensive farmer, and one Of our best
citizens, lost his large barn, together
with two crops Of wheat, and his crops
Of corn, oats; hay, etc. The greater
portion Of his farm machinery, with
harness and wagons, were also COM
pletely destroyed. Mr.. Roppatthe time
was in another section of the county
attending sale, and was there notifiA
ed Of the fire. By the time be reach
ed the scene, it was completely de-
stroyed. We understand the loss viii
exceed $1,000, and that none Of the
property was insured. This is, indeed,
4 sad misfortune; and should be q
moral for Others to insure, and at
once.

Thirty-two MileA Of Cars in Active Service on the
B. q o.
One Of the best posted railroad men
ii the country says that if the freight
cars that are used in America were
placed in line they would reach from
San Francisco to Hawaii. The Balti-
more ond Ohio has over 80 miles Of cars
always in active service and twice as
many miles Of cars laying idiein the
yards along the main line. They are
called idle cars, mas much as they are
being paid for by consignees, TO whom
they are being shipped, but these same
merchants are compelled to pay the
contingent rate Of loading and BY 50
doing the price Of a single car is paid
for in very short time. It is said that
there are at least IS miles Of freight
cars lost every day on the two great
trunk lines the Baltimore and Ohio and
the Pennsylvania railroads.
