RAILWAY RUMBLES.

Part of the intramur;,l railroad equip
ment of the Worlds fair is to be used in Il
New York suburb.
Statistics just issued prove that Pennsyl-
vania has a greater railroad trackagc per
square mile than Germany France or Iiol-
land.
An idea of the increase in the fresh meat
traffic can be gained from an order Just
given the Pullman company by the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fee for $50 refrg-
orator cars.
Some of the evils predicted when Ste
phcnson was trying to introduce railroads
were that cows would be prevented from
grazing and hens from laying, while horses
would be driven distracted.
Country railway stations in England are
often pleasing sight to the eye of the pass
ing traveller One important railway com
pany offers prizes to station masters for the
best kept platform, flower garden and Dor
ders.

THE SUMNER EXODUS.

The customary exodus to Europe has
begun and millions of American-earned
money will go to replenish the Golfers
of the Old World. Uncle Sam can be
expected to drop these millions in
Europe just as regularly as the sum-
mer arrives. Here is a constant
drain. year after year, amounting in a
decade to sum that is simply enormous
and for which we derive no compensat-
ing advantages. 1t is not the fashion
for Europeans to come to America for
their outings, and where one European
does come on pleasure trip there are
thousands of Americans who go abroad.
However, it is fashionable to take a
European trip even though the wonders
and delights of our own land are never
seen and as long as it remains fashion,
able and that will be so long IA we fol-
low the styles set 10y the Old World Just
so long will this exodus keep up.

A COWARDLY FAKE.

| Tho cowardly "faker" who is respon-
sible for the rumor that yesterday
went broadcast over the land, CARRYING
grief into the immediate family circles
of score of families, and awakening a
feeling of horror among all who read the
report OF the wreck of an excursion
train in British Colum bia, deserves a
coat of tar and feathers for his cruel and
senseless hoax.
1t was contradicted as soon as the big
news agencies could get to work, as the
detailed report in last nights News
showed, but the original sender of the
dispatch should be made to suffer il
there is any law that can feaeA-so-eeff-
temptible cur.
And apparently the accident hoax is
not the only fake some one is responsible
for in yesterdays's telegraphic reports
in both associations. A dspat ch came
from San Francisco, stating that ad-
vices had been received from officers of
the revenue cutter Bear to the effect that
she had been wrecked entering the har-
Dor at Sitka, but as no confirmation of the
story has been received, and as the Bear
should have left Sitka May 10 instead of
entering it May 90, the date on which
the alleged wreck is said to have taken
place, her presence there when she should
have been en- route for Point Barrow is
inexplicable. The Bear is the three
masted steam vessel which was pur-,
chased of Dundee parties by the Secretary
of the Navy when the expedition to
rescue Greeley was undertaken. The
report of course may be correct but in
view OF yesterdays big fake from the
same section it will not be accepted
until proper evidence of its authenticity
has been received.

and commanded them to disperse, call
ing upon "all good citizens to return
peacefully to their homes" and ordering
the militia to carry out his command.
Hence the strikers are loud in their
praise OF the Governor while the law
abiding citizens are trying to get posses
sion OF their property. The miners have
entrenched themselves on Bull Head, a
iill which commands the whole mining
region, and they have buried dynamite
at the entrance to all the mines, which
they propose to explode at the
approach Of any force that
attempts to drive them out.
They have cannon. beside rifles enough
for every man. If they fail in keeping
their position on Bull Head they have
sworn to blow up the county buildings
In Colorado Springs and to destroy the
residences of the mine owners in that
town. They are in rebellion against the
constituted authorities, aud because of
the pusillanimity of the State officers
.hey nave grown lnsOlent.
The deputies will be kept under arms
by the sheriffs until the State troops
arrive, and the miners knowing that
they have the sympathy of the Cover
nor. will probably keep up their armed
camp, hoping even with troops ON the
ground, to finally compel the mine
owners TO give in.
Thus there are three bodies of armed
men in the field. The sheriffs. the mill
tia, and the entrenched miners, and it
will take considerable more diplomacy
than Waite has shown to prevent further
bloodshed.
And in the meantime not even martial |
law is in force and the striking miners
are still determined to compel the mine
owners to pay them what they ask |
regardless of consequences.
Colorado is bitterly paying for her
folly in placing such a man as Waite in
a position where he is constant menace
to IFS peace and prosperity.

The First Carronades.

The earliest mention of the use Of car
ronadcs in actual warfare which have
met with is contained in the Edinburgh
Advertiser for April 13, 1870, page 243,
where accounts are given Of an action
fought March IL, 1879, in st. Georges
channel near the Tuskar rock, betwoeK
the British privateer Sharp and the Amer.
lean privateer Skyrocket. The former was
armed with carronades, short Guns of a
new construction, made at Carron." One
of these accounts is from Captain MncAr-
thur, an Englishnan, who was at the time
prisoner on board the Skyrocket and was
in "a position TO speak OF the damage sus.
tained BY that ship.
On April 10, in the same year, q spirited
action was fought in the channel between
tho Spitfirc, British privatecr armed with
16 10 FOUNDER carronades, commanded by
Captain Thomas Bell and owned by John
Iuillcr and others, and tho Surveillance, n
French frigate of 32 guns and large
crew. The Spitflre was taken after an
obstinate fight, the Surveillante sustain
ing considerable damage. The loss is
announced i'm the Edinburgh Adver-
tiscr Of May IA, pages 3i3 and 317, and
In tho issue for May 25 page $40,
there is letter from the captain, then
prisoner at L'Oricnt, to the owners, giving
an account of the affair, which Is, how
ever, described more fully In The Adver-
tiser for Oct 90, page 277.--Notes and
