LONDON, Jan. 30.-Rosina Vokes, the
actress, known equally we'll in Europe
and America as coincidence, died
Saturday at her country home.
Death was not unexpected. Had she
abandoned the attempt to complete
her last tour in the United States she
might have been granted a longer
lease of life, as no doubt the exertion
of appearing when her health de-
manded immediate retirement has
tened the ravages of the fatal disease.
She wished to continue her last tour
out of kindness for the members of
her company. Her last regular en-
gagement was at Hooley'S theater in
Chicago, November "a last From Chi
cago she went to Washington, where
she gave three or four performances
at the National theater, but these
were merely intended as compliment
to Mollie Elliot Seawell, the author OF
maid Marian, one of the last Vokes
successes, and were not included in the
company's engagements. A few days
after leaving Washington she sailed
for home and sought quiet and rest al

FRAKER'S EXECUTOR ACTS.
Suit Begun Against the Insurance Compa-
nies-A Bitter Contest Certain.

suit Begun Against the Insurance Compa-
nies-A Bitter Contest Certain.
EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, No., Jan. 3D.
Suits have been filed in the circuit
court at Liberty by Judge ]. f. Lin
coin, executor of the estate of DR..
George w. Fraker, supposed to have
been drowned in the Missouri river
last July, against the Kansas Mutual
Life association, the Equitable Life
Insurance society, the Provident Saw
ings Life Insurance society of New
York and the Hartford Life and An
nuity Insurance company for the re-
covery of the policies carried by the
doctor at the time of his disappear
ance. The amount claimed will be
something over $4,000. 1t is expected
that the cases will be called in the
February term of court.
The facts that suits have been insti-
tuted make it evident that the insur-
ance companies intend to contest the
claims of the executor. Frequently it
has been reported that representatives
of the interested insurance companies
have said that they believed DR.. Fra
ker to be among the living and that
when the case came to trial he would
be produced, sound and alive. The op-
portunity to verify this will soon be
given. The executor and his associate
counsel say that they confidently be-
lieve that DR.. Fraker was drowned in
the Missouri river at the time alleged
and that they will be abundantly able
to prove that fact Many here believe
that this is the beginning of a long
legal fight and that it will be the Hill
man case over again.

RAILWAY INCOMES.
Receipts and Expenditures as Reported to
the Interstate Commerce Commission.

the Interstate Commerce Commission.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-A pielim-
mary report of the incomes and ex-
penditures of railroads in the United
States for the year ending June 30,
1893, has just been publishe l by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The report includes the returns from
47O operating companies, whose re-
ports were fixed on or before Decem-
Der /, 1893, and covers the operations
of 145, s69.5S miles of line, or eighty
seven per cent of the total operated
mileage in the United States for that
period.
The gross earnings were 81, $751;
PSI, of which $500, sos, 53s were from
freight service, and s,63O,S7S were
other earnings from operations cover
ing receipts from telegraph, use of
cars, switching charges, rents, etc.
The operating expenses were S735,
427, 532, 67.74 per cent of the gross
earnings, leaving net earningso of $780,
257,749, which is about $50 per cent on
the capitalization of the roads report
ing.
A new feature in this report is the
compilation of comparative data for
the same roads for the years 1892 and
1898, covering the items of net earn
ings and dividends. This shows an
increase over 1892 in the net earnings
OF these roads of S9,774,9 57, and an in
crease in dividends of 81, $685. The
amount carried to surplus account af-
ter the reduction of all fixed charges
and dividends was SIG, 04s, 405.
These figures do not justify the as
sertion that the twelve months ending
June 80, 1898, brought disaster to rail-
ways and the conclusion therefore
that must obtain is that up to that
date the railways had not begun
to feel to any great extent
the effect of the commercial
and industrial depression which
in the latter part of the year
1898, resulted in placing many roads
and other properties in the hands Of
receivers.
