m ) recent report, the ohio road cor

In recent report, the Ohio road com
mission estimates that at an average cost
of $4,000 per mile it would require
400,000,000 to improve all the roads in
that State, and the commissioners
further estimate that the average cost of
transportation by horses or wagons over
country roads is in any event about 20
cents per ton mile, as compared with
about one-quarter of cent per ton
mile for transportation by steam over
railways. Arguing from this prohibitiye
cost of complete system of road i'm
provement, and from the waste in any
transportation by horse power over even
improved roads, the commission favors
the laying of steel rails on highways,
and the substitution of electric or other
inanimate power for the horse for the
transportation of both freight and pas
sengers. In short, the commissioners
TO quote from their report, "do not
recommend the improvement of the
highways at the expense of the State,
but suggest, instead, the extension, at
local expense, of the suburban electric
roads already doing good service in the
State. The commission believes this to
be more just to the people in general
and more economical in the end, especi-
ally in the relative cost of trant .)orta-
ton per ton mile" We have here q
hint Of the possibilities of an enormously
increased home market for steel rails
which may be made available by such
legislation as shall make impossible
pools and trusts and bring the rails
down to the legitimate prices that would
obtain with all our mills running and
unfettered competition among manufac-
turers.

MURDERED AND ROBBED.


Boss Workman of Chester Wnylaid
by Murderous HiEhwaymen--susp icion
Against Two Men.
CHESTER, Pa, Jan. 21.-With an
ominous bruise upon his face and his
pockets rified and turned inside out, the
body of Charles McGlone was found in
a vacant lot near Culp's backward,
South Chester, this morning. The sup
position is that he was murdered by
highwaymen, who stole the money he
had on his person. The district attorney
has ordered an Investigation, and the
coroner held q post-mortem examination
to-day.
McGlone was boss workman at the
Wellman Iron and Steel Works.
He was last seen alive at McGoldrick's
Hotel, which he left at 11.40 o'clock last
night. At that time he had his weeks
wages in his pocket and was on his way
to bis home, No. 26 Fowler street. When
his body was found this morning by
Morris Crawford the pockets were inside
out and the money missing. On his
face was one deep bruise, as though he
had been violently struck with a blunt
instrument. There was also an indenta.
ton on the right side of his skull.
Suspicion is directed toward two men
who were seen walking with McGlone
in the direction of the brickyard. The
Inquest will be held tomorrow evening.
Mrs. McGlone says her husband was
not accustomed to drink, and it is prob
able he was enticed into the hotel.

few had their valuables, but none had
time to dress, and for tiveor ten minutes
the confusion was indescribabe.
Commodore Hebich and his officers
managed to quiet them, and assured all

Meanwhile, upon deck everything

pretty much all gone, and the hulwarks

The extent Of the damage will amount
to about $4,000. The entire front of
the ladies' saloon is crushed in. Every
thing there and in tho dining saloon
below is entirely destroyed, while the
staterooms forward are in pretty bad
state. A piano that was anchored il the
ladies' room was carried clear down to
the Storage and crushed into bits OF
wood and iron.
There were many anxious persons at
the office of the Hamburg-American
Company to-day. Some OF these had
friends on board the Normannia, but
most of them were business men who
had bought their passages and had en-
gagements on the other side that they
could not fail to keep without financial
loss. To these Manager Boas could
make but one reply.
The Normannia could not make her
regular trip, but the Hamburg-Amcri.

passage money or would send the pas

pECKHAM FOR SUPREME JUDGE.

Another Nomination That is Extremely
Distastefut to Senators Hiii and
Murphy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.---The Presi-
dent to-day sent to the Senate the nomi-
nation of Wheeler ii. Peckham of New
York to be associate justice of the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
Wheeler II. Peckham is brother of
Judge Rufus Peckham Of the New York
court Of appeals. He was appointed dis
trict attorney by Mr. Cleveland when
he was governor of New York, but sub
sequently resigned.
Although the New York Senators
decline to talk, it is understood the
nomination is distasteful to them, but
that they would have been glad to have
seen the name Of the brother sen. In for
the place.
The indications seem to be that the
Hornblowor struggle will be renewed
against this nominee.

race troubles Cause Deadly Riot in
South Carolina Town.


AUGUSTA, GA, Jan. 19.-The riot at
Rouse Ridge, near jackson, s. c., 20
miles below Augusta, in which negroes
made war upon whites, was worse than
at first reported. Paul Green is dead
and Rhett Green will die. Both are
prominent men.
The trouble grew out of an attempt
by a constable and posse to arrest a
negro desperate named Jude. The
negro had an intimation of the coming
OF the officers and had about 40 Of his
friends in ambush about tho house.
Eight or ten whites were dangerously
wounded. Several negroes were
wounded in the pitched battle which
occurred, but none were killed.
The officers were betrayed by white
man whom they claim they know, and
there are strong suspicious that there
will be lynching in that vicinity.
