II seems strange now that 50 much opposition
was manifested three or four years ago TO the
heating Of railway cars with steam from the en-
gine II was in 1857 that the law was passed
In this State requiring all railway companies ex-
cept those Of trihing mileage to use steam heat
bu, two or three years passed before the change
was generally made. Even intelligent and ex-
pcrirnced railroad men looked askance at IT, II
they dd not openly oppose the new system. and
descanted at length on the perils OF passengers
in case a pipe should leak or burst and a car
become filed with superheated steam. The
danger. however. has proved Insignificant. and the
system OF steam heating has become thoroughly
established not only in this State but IN others.

There has been n novelty In London in the
opening to the public on Sunday last Of a picture

prolonged and heated controversy that permis

week was obtained from the authorities. The
experiment. however. was an immense popular
success the han beng crowded during the entire
time. II "a believed that the question Of open
ing such exhibitions on Sunday in London Is
now settled What has just occurred there re-
calls the struggle which took place in New-York
two or three years ago over the opening Of the
Museum Of Art on Sundays The sentiment
against such course was strong enough 10 keep
II from being adopted for a number OF years after
It was first proposed. When the radical step was
once taken It instantly commended itself TO all
but few conservative minds. and now no one
thinks Of returning 10 former practice. Doubt
less ii will soon be- the same in London

AKRON, O., Jan. 6.-Two weeks ago
chicken fight was pulled off, in the
Hotel Buchtel in the presence of
large crowd.
Since the event those who attended
have been keeping close eye on Pros
ecuting Attorney Rogers, on account
of his threat to prosecute every man
who had witnessed the sport. Their
anxiety was relieved when warrants
were issued by the mayor for forty OF
the spectators, including business men,
bankers, doctors, capitalists, ex-city
officials, newspaper men, hotel keepers
and deacors.
AS soon as it became known that
warrants had been issued Col Wood,
proprietor of the Hotel Buchtel, made
his appearance at the city building,
pleaded guilty to the charge and was
fined IS and costs. He was followed
by about half the others for whom war
rants had been issued, who also pleaded
guilty and were likewise fined.
The others will be arrested and tried
in the mayors court.

A GOLD BRICK.
A Laborer's Mysterious Find Sets U. s
Secret Service Men at Work.

A Laborer's Mysterious Find Sets U. s
Secret Service Men at Work.
DETROIT, Mich, Jan. S.-The local
police are mystified over finding a gold
brick in the suburbs of the city. Two
weeks ago Conrad johnson, a laborer,
was digging in his yard, when he
struck what he thought was large,
.oblong piece of brass, and with it
bottle of gold paint.
At a brass foundry he was told that
the metal was worth more than brass,
and few days later a peddler offered
him $500 for it. Then he took it to a
local jewelry house, where he was told
that the metal was six carats gold, and
worth about 81, 800. John kept the
brick, but informed the police of his
find, and United States secret service
officers are now working on the case.
They believe the find is part of the out
fit of a gold brick swindling gang, who
buried it where it was found, and then
were unable to return and recover it.
