Mr.. Cobb's Appeal.

Mr.. Cobb of Alabama then took the floor
Tor the purpose, he said, of showing that
the company does not owe one cent, either
in law or in equity. He said an important
question is whether Congress will attempt
to take from the railroad company Its prop
erty. Poor men and widows have invest
ed in this corporation" said Mr. Cobb and
the government has in effect said that II
wants to use the power of Congress to
squeeze money out of the corpcrafion."
Mr.. Cobb then addressed himself to the
merits of the case, going back to the times
OF the board of public works, It's powers
and functions, and the act of the District
legislature requiring the repaving of the
streets. Mr. Cobb insisted that the board
or public works did not have authority to
interfere with the tracks already laid Mr.
Cobb made lengthy legal argument in ia
vor Of the company.

archery, lifting, sword and spear ex-
erclse, etc, also in writing. The
senior Wranglerf was a young man

IN lifting, and his strength is esti-
mated at 800 catties (the cattv is
about one and one-half poundsl
though really they say it is only 600
cattles. This is tested by lifting a
square stone Of 300 catties weight az
nigh as the breast. This man not
only lifted it to that height. but
gave it little toss up and caught if
as it came down.
Inc governor was aStoniShed and
asked him to repeat the feat. The
young man, supposing that he was
suspected Of having some secret helm,
threw of his coat, exposing his bare
body, and repeated the feat to the |
entire satisfaction Of the Judges. |
Though in archery and other prac-
tices his skill was not conspicuous.
he was awarded the first place on the

The Steepest Railroad Grade

Railroad In Colorado and the won
derful engineering Skill displayed in
ascending the California mountains
south Of Tulare Valley through Te-
hachapi Pass. But after all this. the
little feeder Of the Leadville division
OF the Rio Grande exceeds all other
roads in its steep grades and short
curves.
When the line first went into Ope
ration many accidents occurred by
the trains breaking away at the top
and running back down the steep
grades, wrecking locomotives and cars
and destroying limbs and som etimes
lives.
Later. however. extremely heavy
locomotives have been built and the
most Skillful and the bravest train
hands are employed, who never finch
in the supreme moment of danger.
The result has been that accidents
now seldom occur.
