WELLINGTON ADAMS. St Louis and Chicago will probably be pushed to completion. Under its charter the com pany is empowered to construct n prac- tically straight line between those points,
 The road will be double track, stand ard gauge, with . pound rails laid upon hard wood tics, with rock ballast ed foundation. All bridges will bo of standard steam railroad construction. There will be no railroad or country road crossings at grade. The line will pass over all railroads, and the country roads will be thrown over the tracks by means of bridges, The road will be operated from four electric power sta tions, each located at the mouth of q coal mine owned by the company and situated along the line. Fifty sections of five miles each will constitute the electrical divisions of the road Behind each section having car upon it there will Do dead section, 2o which 1t will Do impossible for any cS, to run so long as train is upon the preceding section, rendering it impossible for two trains to be upon one section at the same IILlS, h 1loSt SAkktA perfect block system.
 It is the intention to run passenger. express and mail trains at the rate of 100 miles an hour, these cars making no stops between the two cities and making the entire distance in three hours, whereas it now takes all day to accomplish the journey. The motor passenger cars will be constructed of steel and will be long and low, the top of the car being but nine feet from the 1 rails, and the front will be semiwedge shape to lessen atmospheric resistance. The rails will be fitted with mitered joints. doing away with the shock and click that prevail in the present methods.
 The originator and general manager of tho scheme. Dr. Wellington Adams. Is a Chicago electrician we'll known throughout the west to tinanciers and railroad men, and the prospects are that we shall soon witness a great advance ment in railroad travel.

and has been superseded by other and perhaps abler men in his line. His last famous work was his attack on the Tweed ring i'll New York city, which contributed in great measure to the final overthrow Of that famous cabal. Finding himself superseded by the younger and more popular generation of cartoonistS, Mir Mast has finally aban- doned the land of his adoption and re- moved to London. where he is now en- gagged in making cartoons for the Pall Mall Gazette. Thomas Mast was born ill Landau. Bavaria, in lS40, and six years later was brought to this country by his father. When n boy of If, he spent six mouths in the drawing classes of Theodore Kaufmann, and then. with no other preparatory instruction, was engaged as a draftsman on an illustrat- ed paper. In 1860 he went to England as a special artist for New York week ly paper and later followed Garihaldi in Italy, making sketches for New York, London and Paris illustrated pa, perS, Having returned to this country in 1862, he began his war sketches, which first brought him to public mo- tiCe and put him on the road to for tune. During tho closing years of the war he was more detested in tho south than the most rabit, abolitionist ill New England. When he fought Tweed with his pencil, it was reported that his life was threatened and that bribes were offered him. Nast's pictures are said to have worried Tweed more than all thar was written bv his opponents.
 MT. Mast did not coafine himself CT, clusively to newspaper work H. illustrated several books, notably thos1 of Petroleum V. Nasby. and for sew eral years after 1879 he published, "Nast's Illustrated Almanac. He also appeared on the lecture platform, draw. ing oaricatures on the stage by way c: illustrations. He made a great deal of money while his popularity lasted, al- though he is said to have lost most of 1t,

Several Deaths Caused by n Fierce storm
 In Nieunt.
 VIENNA. June S.-A destructive hail storm visited this city. IL b gan with dense copper colorrd clouds, which rose with alarming rapidity and produced a state of Scmidarl.nrSN The wind blew a hurricane and drove the dust in columns to the height of four story houses. This lasted few minutes, and then the hail began to fall with a noise similar to that caused by a severe sea storm and covered the city in a short time to the depth of from six to eight inches. The storm was accompanied by numerous flashes of sheet lightning. In less than l5 minutes the city looked as If it had undergone bom- bariment It is estimated that 100, 900 windows wore smashed by tho hail. Five hundred panes of glass were broken in the Ministry of Commerce building alone and 600 panes in the palace. In tho upper floors and tho emperor's w ng of the palace hard ly pane remains unhrukcn. In a large mill on tho Danube nearly i. 900 paneS of glass wcre smashed. According to the Austrian law, tho landlords must replace the windows.
 Tho hailstoncs averaged the size of ha- Eelnuts and descended in streams. Three deaths arc reported as due to falling trces Numerous horses were frightened by the storm and ran away, causing number of serious accidents.
 Serious damage was done in n field out side of Vienna, where a detachment of artillery, with 32 guns, was overtaken. Tho horses bolted with fright in all dircc- tions, and 30 soldiers soon lay helpless on the ground. Several of them were run over, and one was killed, Three officers were SeycrelY injured
 Many persons were bruised by the hail in the principal streets, The beautiful gardens of the city are pitiful sight. The trees are stripped of their leaves the flowers arc destroyed and tho avenues arc strewn with branches and small trees. Tho fronts of many houses have the ap- pearance of having been the target for . muskctry volley. Tho hail was swept up in the streets in largo white heaps. The thermometer during the storm sank to 10, R. It is feared that irrctricvablo damage has been dono to tho crops.
 Reports from Pressburg show that that place was also visited by a disastrous hail. storm, and that the vineyards wcro al- most ruined. Niolont storms have occur rcd during tho week at Odenburg, Vesz- prim and in Croatia Immense damage Is reported to have been dono.

CLEANING BOOTS AND SHOES.
Directions Worthy of Trial Patent Leather
 Eoots-A Good Polish.


 \ well stocked blaching brush box should always be kept on hand, and this should contain the best of blacking to- gether with three good brushes. One of the brushes should be quite hard to effectually rid the boots of all mud and dirt, another should be soft in order to insure the successful application of the blacking, and the third should be class cd in the happy medium, so as to give satisfactory polish and ''shine. Y" Each should have its own distinct mis- sion to perform, and their uses must never be confounded, says correspond ent of The Household, who also gives tho following advice: The backing. if liquid, should be kept we'll corked, and after all traces of mud have been re- moved from the boots should be applied to the brush by means of sponge, which is tied to stick, and from thence to the leather. This having been accom- plished, the boots should be well pol ished with the regulation brush and a firm, vigorous hand. Much more deli cacy of treatment is required ill clean ing ladies boots, except when they arc the stout common sense ones used for walking or skating, great care always being taken to avoid soiling the lining of the boots
 An excellent polish for general pur- poses is made from tho following ingre- dients: Mix ounces of ivory black with i ounces of treacle in an earthen jar, to which add an ounce of sulphuric acid, stirring the mixture all the while. Then pour in ? teaspoonfuls of olive oil, and after this has been thoroughly in corporated add by degrees Ia pints of white wine vinegar.
 Another polish which is more suited to ladies' fine boots is made by mixing equal proportions of sweet oil, treacle and vinegar with an ounce of lamp black and applying with Q sponge.
 Patent leather boots require entirely different treatment They should first be wiped with damp sponge and after ward with a soft, dry cloth. Tho sponge may be moistened with either water or milk, but tho latter should not be used too often. Occasionally a little oil might be applied with very good effect but blacking should never be used ex- oept upon the edges of the soles-

THOMAS NENINS- few years no was able to start ill business on his own ac- count. He became contractor and built houses, roads and street railways, and now at the age of 5l he is a millionaire and ono of the most solid and respected citizens of that beautiful town. Mr. Nevins' father was n farmer ill the County Meath, and as youth he titled the soil within sight of the towers of the baronial castle of Lord killeen. However high his ambition scared, it is doubtful if the Irish lad had ever dream ed that ill the future he should be the owner of that princely dwelling but such he was destined to become.
 Killeen castle is about 25 miles from tho city of Dublin and is not far from the famous hill of Tara. The building covers 200 square feet of ground, and tho estate comprises about 1, 800 acres. There is not Il tenant on tho land. The castle was originally erected ill the eleventh century and is supposed to be one of tho oldest inhabited residences in the queens domains belonging to a subject. History says that King John, signer of the Magma Charter, on one of his visits to Ireland, lived at killcen castle, and that portion ill which he re- sided is still known as King John s tower.
 Mir. Novins began negotiations for tho purchase of killeen castle moro than year ago. Learning that tho es- tate was to be sold, he wrote to the Earl of Flngall, and correspondence was begun which resulted ill an offer of $500, 900 by MT. Nevins, This was ac- cepted, and next November he will come into possession. The old castle has two drawing rooms, each 80 by 2S; two dining rooms. ono 10 by 24. and 20 bedrooms. with dressing rooms at faChC0
