RAILROAD NOTES.

The Panama Railroad Company has
leased all the ships now operating on the
through line between New York and San
Francisco, five in number. until May 1,
1895. This makes certain the continuance
OF the open sea line for several months yet.
This continuance of the lease of the ships
will round out q full term of one year Of
service by the Panama Railroad Company
since the line was dropped by the North
American Navigation Company. 1t is
clearly the intention of the Panama COM
pany TO continue its opposition to the
Pacific Mail and the transcontinental rail-
roads.
Representatives of the transcontinental
railroad lines have agreed upon the basis
of an advance in freight rates to the Pa
citic coast from all points East. There
will be a substantial advance, in some
cases ranging as high as 50 and IS per
cent. Details of the classification will not
be made public for several days.
The approximate gross earnings of the
entire Atchison system for the month of
November are SS2s. 19l, decrease Of 1885. =
54i from the corresponding month of last
year. The Atlantic & Pacific and the
Colorado Midland roads show an increase
over the earnings Of November. ls93, the
increase OF the former being SIS, 5l5 and
that Of the latter s., s6l.

Advices from Kansas City state that the
Midway Lumber Company has failed.
This company carried on an extensive

JENKINS GOES soor FREE.
Jury Seems TO Think the Customs ON
GERS s'Jobbcd" Him.

GERS s'Jobbcd" Him.
Ell Jenkins, the alleged smuggler who
claimed that he was ''jobbed' by the Gus
toms officers in Whatcom county, was
yesterday evening acquitted in the United
States court of bringing across the line
from British Columbia manufactured
brass in the shape OF opium cans contain
ing bogus dope" The jury evidently
was inclined to give some credit to Jen-
kins' story that the customs officers were
prosecuting him in order to force him to
repay some money which he had obtained
from them in course OF the deal. Its de-
alterations lasted just FIVE minutes.
The courts instructions were to the
effect that to find the defendant guilty it
must have been proved that the cans were
merchandise. that is that they had value.
1t was no defense for him even If il were
true, that he had fallen into trap set by
the customs officers. Such action on the
part of the officers would have been CEN
surabie; that was all. Ii would make no
difference whether the cans were made in
the United States or in British Columbia,
if they were indeed smugged, as alleged,
into the United states. Ii is said that the
cans were worth not more than % cents.
The only witnesses who testified yester-
day were Immigration Inspector Gour-
ley and man named Bell. who were
called by the government in rebuttal.
They told little new, and in fact Bell was
not allowed to tell moro than his name.

Law TO HELP LOVE.
1t Finds Young Couple a Way
Over Its Own Barriers.
THE STERN UNCLE is Fooled.


pretty i7-year-old girl, accompanied by
bashful lover, occupied the attention of
Judge Langley for few minutes yester-
day. The couple was Harriet Taylor and
Albert Anderson, both of Gilman, ana they
wanted to get married. They have been
engaged for some time, and day before
yesterday the prospective head of the fam
lily applied 10 auditor Twichell for mar
rage license, but met with an unexpected
obstacle when he announced that his fair
lady was only IL. He was obliged 10 so
back to Gilman without the much-desired
paper.
But love laughs at obdurate clerks as
well as locksmiths, and the young couple
found way out of the difficulty. Miss
Taylor has been living with the family of
her uncle at Gilman, and they looked with
disapproyal upon the attentions of Ander-
son and raised formidable objections as
soon the true state of affairs became
known. The uncle refused his consent,
and the couple hit upon another expedient.
Miss Taylor is practically her own mis-
tress. She formerly resided IN Stafford
shire. England, but while she was small
child her parents separated, her father
going TO Durham and her mother TO Aus
trasia. She has never lived with them
since, but was brought up by Mrs. Anne
Taylor, her grandmother. in Stafford shire.
Later she came to this country, but has no
guardian.
In order to bridge the chasn between
hem and the contamination of their
hopes, the lovers came TO this city yester-
day morning and at once consulted firm
of well-known attorneys. The result was
that in the afternoon a petition was pre-
pared setting out the above facts, together
with brief history of the courtship and
engagement, aud directed 10 Judge Lang
ley, asking him TO appoint a guardian in
order that legal consent might be given to
the marriage and the barrier in front of
the license swept away.
When the petition was presented to the
court Judge Langley looked kindly over
his glasses at the bashful groom and
blushing bride and, after much thought,
reluctantly gave his consent, appointing
DIR. +. w. Harrell, of Gilman, guardian.
So the matter stands. The guardian will
yet have TO give his consent before the
marriage can take place.
Anderson is a smooth-faced, young fell
low. apparently about y. miner by occu-
patton, and is said to DE quite well oil.
He has a fine tract of land in Lewis
county aud four lots in BigeIow's addition
to this city.

HE PAYS A HEAVY PENALTY.
Young JafTe Escapes Prison for Illegal
Whisky selling.

Whisky selling.
Young Aaron Jaffe, one of the proprie
tors of the California wine house. ha
learned better than TO fool with the inter
nal revenue laws, and the experience has
cost him some money, but he will not be
required to answer TO the United States
grand jury charge of wholesaleIng
whisky without government license.
He was being prosecuted for that offense,
but when he was brought before United
States Commissioners Emory yesterday for
preliminary examination the case again st
him was dismissed although he admitted
his guilt. But he had to comply with
hard conditions.
1t will be remembered that he was ac-
cused of man ufacturing and selling AZ
wholesale and retail a concoction of his
own manufacture purporting 10 be genuine
Jesse Moore whisky. The conditions of
his release, which were complied with.
were that he should pay the government
for both a wholesale and a retail li0uor
license from September 1 TO the close Of
the present fiscal year. that he should also
pay the 80 per cent. penalty for not taking
ont such licenses; that he should give a
good bond TO the Jesse Moore whisky
manufacturers not 70 counterfeit again
either their product or label and give up
all labels already printed. and. finally. that
he should pay the costs incurred by the
government In prosecuting the case In
al, the cost To him was about 500, but he
escapes heavy fine and perhaps impris-
onment The settlement was made be-
tween Jaie's friends and J. T. Gleason.

IN A SEA OF BALLOTS.
Voters Likely to BE Confused on
Election Day.

Voters this fall viii; need the skill of
detectives to be able to pick out the
ballots they want from the mass that
will be handed them at the polls.
At the office OF Martin b. Brown, the
nrinter. this morning 1t was stated that
In some districts. II the Constitutional
amendments are submitted under three
separate headings, there will be at least
eighteen separate ballots, out OF which
the voters Will have to select six to cast
The largest OF these will be 6xl2 inches.
and on each party ballo: will be printed
the names OF the candidates for State,
County. Assembly and Congressional dis
trcts.
The printer expects that in a ma jority
OF the Assembly districts eight parties
VIII require separate tickets. In all the
districts there Will be ballots for the fol-
lowing regular parties:
Republican, Democratic, Prohibition,
Peoples and SocIalis tic Labor. And in
many districts, the printer expects, there
will be in addition tickets for Citizens
party. Independent Republicans and In
dependent Democrats. This will be true
in all cases where ind pendent candidates
make proper application.
In addition to these tickets there will
be ballots for and against rapid transit;
for and against Grea er New York, and
for and against the adoption Of Constitu-
tional amendments.
The latter may be submitted under
three different MISUNDERSTANDING, APP
portionment and general. II this is done
six ballots will he required. three for and
three against.
The rapid transit, greater New York
and constitutional amendment ballots
will he printed on paper exc inches in

New York and vicinity this morning

BETTING ON THE RESULT.
Republicans the More Confident and
Offering Odds Of 800 to $50.

1t is rather early yet for the sporting
politicians to wager their money on the
result of the State campaign, but a num-
Der Of small bets have already been
made down In Wall street and at the
uptown hotels, where the crowds gather
in the evening.
Taking things just as they stand at
present, and before any attempt at a
canvass OF the situation has been made,
1t appears that the Republican ticket
is the favorite with the betting fra
ternity.
Several wagers were reported to have
been made by brokers on the floor of
the Stock Exchange this morning and
those who took the Democratic end of
the bet in each instance demanded and
received odds. The prevailing odds were
10 to 8 against the Democratic ticket,
but no bets higher than 500 were made
on this basis.
that as Republicans predominant in the
membership OF the Stock Exchange there
was more Republican money seeking in
ves'ment. which would naturally put up
the rates. But down in Wall street they
have great confidence in the strength
Of the ex-Vice- President, while Senator
HilIs following is not so large, though,
perhaps, more enthusiastic.
Big bets Will probably be made late,
as they always are. when the campaign
those who have a pile to risk on the
result OF the contest are lying low and
keeping their eyes open for more relia-
BILE pointers than have yet come to the
surface.
1t is thought that after the letters of
acceptance of the candidates have been
made public there will be a better OPP
portunity to Judge of the situation.
