Sad Fate of a Pleasure Party.

WORCESTER, Mass, May 81
Last evening boat containing
Frederick Dame, Thomas F.
O'Donnel and Misses Nelli White
and Laura Bertram, was over
turned on Lake Quinsagamond,
and the two latter were drowned.
All the party were young peo-
pie. The ladies were residents
of North Grafton and had come
to Worcester to visit relatives.
A curious feature of the affair
is the fact that not only were the
young ladies and men not ac-
quainted with each other, but
the young men were also total
strangers. Young Dame had
borrowed boat and was rowing
near the shore when he was ac-
costed by O'Donnell, who had
made chance acquaintance with
the girls and who asked that the
three be given a ride, his re
quest being complied with. The
boat was overturned while the
men were attempting to change
seats.

MeXico's Drainage Canal.

AS stated by Wilson M. Blake
in the Republics interview with
him recently, the Mexican capi.
tails big drainage canal will be
completed by the spring of 1897.
The long tunnel through the
mountains has already been cut.
This was by far the most expen-
sive and difficult part of the un-
dertaking. Much more rapid
progress can be made with the
open cut leading to the tunnel
1t is now considerably more than
half done, including masonry
and connections. The contract
ors are fully able to complete the
entire canal by the new date set
for the openir & of Mexico's in
ternational exposition-April 2,
1897.
With good sewerage, the City
Of Mexico should and doubtless
will become q great health re-
sort. This canal is to drain not
only the city but the entire val
ley in which it lies. 1t is to-carry
off the overflow from the lakes
Of the valley in the rainy season.
1t is one of the great engineering
works of the century. Presi-
dent Diaz needs no other monu-
ment,

Railway Earnings.

Railway earnings are getting
back to ante-panic figures. Every
new weeks increase is larger
than that Of the preceding week,
the comparisons being, of course,
with last years record.
The increase for the second
week of May for IS roads was
over 6 per cent. Only 90 of the
70 lines failed to do as well as in
1894, and nine Of these came
within few hundred dollars of
it.
Reports for that week are by
far the most favorable of the
year. Only one St. Louis road
fell behind and the amount was
inconsiderable-only 1920. AL
our Southeastern lines are now
doing a great deal better than
they were a year ago. The Was
bash takes the lead in gains, with
the Missouri Pacific and the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas close
behind. The Southwest can al
ways be counted on to make a
good showing. Two lines have
reported so far for the third
week and both made substantial
gains. It is gratifying, too, to
find that one of them is the
Frisco. This road gained nearly
IS, 900 that week. The other
increase reported was one Of

The Wings of 1889.

Frederick Fraley celebrated
his ninety first birthday anniver-
sary on Tuesday last, and in the
newspaper notices of the events
of one of the most remarkable
and successful lives of Philadel
phia, it is stated that he was one
of the delegates to the Harris
burg convention of December,
1889, that nominated Harrison
and Tyler for President and Vice
President. It was the first time
that the Whig party was thors
oughly nationalized and united
in every section Of the. country
in support of national ticket,
and it is doubtful whether there
is any survivor of that conven-
tion but Frederick Fraley. There
may be others. but it seems
likely that he is the sole sur
vivor OF that important conyen-
ton that nominated the first
Whig President of the United
States.
In 1886 there was a scrub race
for the Presidency against Van
Buren. The opposition to the
Jackson and Van Buren domina
ton had several organizations,

The Penitentiary Farm,

SCOTLAND NECK, N. c., May 81.
Superintendent Leazar who is
now visiting the State farms on
the Roanoke, says that crops are
poorer than he has ever seen
them before He had a good
deal of cotton on the Northamp-
ton farm plowed up and re
planted. About one sixth of the
cotton crop was turned into q
corn crop. On the Caledonia
farm the cotton seed were not
planted SO early and much of
that crop will be all right. Mr.
Leazar said that by reason of the
bad season the grass and weeds
are very rank and it takes much
more work than is usually given
to the crop.
Persons from the lower end of
this'county reported yesterday
that cotton has much improved
during the past three days.
Several persons went from
here to attend Maj Emery's big
picnic at Roanoke Rapids yes

Last night closed the com

but the sources from which they
originate suggest that they may
be put out as ''feelers" to elicit
public sentiment,

that Secretary Carlisle will not
cancel his engagement to speak
at Louisville. In a few days he
will go back to Kentucky, and
