RAILROAD NOTES.

General Passenger Agent Ford, Of
Pennsylvania. says: We expect to con-
vince the directors Of the Pullman COM
pany that the upper berth rate should
be 25. per cent less than the lower berth
rate. Such a reduction will diminish
the expenses of the railroad companies.
will increase the earnings Of the Pull
man company and will be benefit to
the public.
.:-:-
Some of the railway managers are
issuing orders to the effect that no
trainmen will be allowed to be on duty
over eighteen hours continuously. In
these cases an engineer is limited to
5000 miles a month. This will give a
freight engineer $50 per month. Cases
have come to light recently where en-
gineers have made nearly $3.50 per
month by working over their usual num-
ber of runs.
The Southern Pacific has adopted a
new measure to break the business of
scalping tickets. Richard H. Collier
has been arrested on a charge Of false
personation, growing out Of an attempt
on his part to travel East on a scalpers
ticket. 1t will be made O test case.
The company has announced its de-
termination to push the charge against
Collier to the highest courts, IL neces-
sary.
The Pennsylvania railroad company
pose OF all Of its old-style passenger
equipment, and Its place put the
most modern equipment, even to the
express and baggage cars. The pas
senger coaches are to be similar to
those exhibited at the Worlds fair. II
Is proposed to have Western Pennsyl-
vania lines as well equipped as are the
Pennsylvania lines east Of Pittsburg.

Poughkeepsie, Dec. S.-After an all
day search Deputy Sheriff Byrnes and
three other officers this afternoon ran
down and captured Martin Slater, the

was speedily found in the hut crouch
ing behind an old'lounge in small.
dark closet. He is now in Jail in this
city.
Martin Slater and his brother, who is
also in custody, own sloOp which they
have employed In their nefarious ex-
ploits. After successful raid they
would pack their booty In barrels and
boxes AMI ship it to New York from
Pell's Landing by the Roundout boats.
Martin was much feared. and for years
people have quietly suffered loss at his
hands rather than complain. officer
Byrnes is on track Of the rest of the
gang.

HUMAN SKELETONS FOUND.
Supposed to BE Pennsylvania Land Buy
crs Murdered for Their Money.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. Sin tearing out
the wall of an abandoned cellar near
Larned, over which farmhouse was
burned some time since. workmen dis
covered a perfect human skeleton. Ad-
ditiona1 excavation was made, and the
party was surprised to find four other
skeletons. all evidently the remains Of
large sized men.
1t is believed the skeletons are the re-
mains of a party of land buyers who
went to western Kansas in 1880 from
Pennsylvania, and who were never
heard of after reaching Dodge City
They were probably murdered for their
money by cowboys.

Prettily Played Game-Petersburs

NORFOLK, Va, June 6.-The game
regularly scheduled for to day was de-
clared forfeited to Roanoke by the score
OF to o, for the reason that the Nor
folk management failed to have new
balls on hand when play was called.
An exhibition game was then COM
mehced; and two men had been retired
In Norfolk's first half OF the first inning
when supply of balls was received,
and 1t was decided to play off post
poned game. Play WAS commenced all
over again in championship game,
with the result that Roanoke has to-
night two victories to her credit.
After banking the locals. Roanoke
got two runs in the first. Sherer, the
hrat man to face Pitcher Chard, well
coined him to the Virginia league by
knocking two Dagger against the
fence. Padden was hit by pitched
ball. Little's grounder to McGann
forced Padden to second. but in trying
to complete the double play Corcoran
made gorgeous wild throw, Sherer
scoring and Little reaching second The
latter went to third on passed ball and
scored when Corcoran failed to handle
Bradley's hot grounder. Chard retired
from the box in the second inning on
account Of an injured finger, Weeks
taking his place. The latter pitched
the game out in good style, the visitors
failing to connect except in the sixth.
Alter striving vainly for four innings
TO secure safe hit from Lloyds de-
livery, the locals put together in the
hfth double, single and an out at
first, which. with Padden's error, tied
the score. In the sixth Roanoke forged
ahead by tallying an earned run on sue
cessive doubles by Welch and Bradley.
The visitors scored the last run OF the
game in the seventh. Farrell sent q
clean single to center. stole second and
Tailed on Little's hit to right field. In
the last three innings she locals began
to touch Lloyd up to some extent, but
the sharpest sort Of fielding prevented
scoring. The interest became intense
in the. ninth, when Norfolk had mon on
second and third with two men out and
safe hit needed to tie the score, but
the teet-footed Farrell spoiled their
hopes by bagging Weeks fly to center.
The errors OF Corcoran were In
themselves sufficient to lose the
game, but this need not detrsct
from the credit the visitors de.
serve for their fine work. Their out.
field was guarded in faultless style,
while the infield was scarcely less per-
feet. WEIGH played his first game with
Roanoke and made a good impression.
The playing OF Padden and the coach
Ing OF Jack Hooper, Roanoke
rooter. were the features.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.-Seyepteen
OF the survivors of the Inflated steamer
Colima, arrived in port to-day on the
San Juan. When she locked hundreds
OF friends and relatives OF those who
went down on the Colima were assem-,
bled awaiting the landing of the pass
engers. Groups of women with tear
stained faces and knots of anxious men
implored every one of the passengers
for tidings OF the lost, all hoping against
hope that there might have been some
mistake in the dispatches and some
name omitted among the saved. How
keen was their disappointment in the
face OF the inevitable assurance that
there was no hope. was evidenced in
their bitter lamentations.
On the upper deck of the steamer
were few happy people whose pleasure
contrasted sharply with the grief of
the bereaved. These were the friends
OF the survivors who were embraced
and congratulated at their miraculous
rescue.
Tho stories of all the survivors con-
hrmed the dispatches. They agree
tnat the cause OF laundering was the
top heavy condition of the Colima, due
to her bulky deck load. From the be-
ginning OF the voyage south. they say,
the vessel acted badly and would not
answer her helm.
The storm which sunk her, was en-
countered about O'Clock Mondav
night, May 81, and blew furiously dur.
Ing the next fourteen hours. The ves--
sci lost steerage way. swung shoreward
In the teeth OF southwesterly gale,
when she lay helpless battled by the
mighty tidal wave. She lay on her side
for about fifteen minutes and then
tipped over and sank.
The women and children were
drowned in their state rooms, where
they were confined during the gale,
Those passengers who had been on
dock were thrown into the sea. MANY
were killed and horribly mutilated by
the lumber OF the deck, blown by the
wind and hurled on the heads of tho
struggling men in the water.

PocAHoNTAs, Va, June 6.-The
situation here is somewhat improved
over yesterday. There is no sign OF
any violent outbreak from the miners.
and no trouble is expec ted. Labor
Leader Webb was here again to-day,
and held another conference with the
officials OF She Southwest Company, but
no settlement was arrived at. Another
meeting has been appointed for tc-
morrow. 1t Is evident that Webb Is in
for reconciliation between employer and
employe, and Is anxious to have matters
adjusted in satisfactory manner.
10 day was the last day OF grace with
the strikers who had been notified to
vacate the company's houses. The
agents of the company served notices
on all OF them this morning that they
could either go to work or bv evic ted.
a large number Of them decided thst
labor at fair wages was preferable to
being without shelter and agreed u 90
work. Several of the strikers refused
to go to work, and In consequence of
refusal their chattels were put intoYshe
street. They offered no resistance.
and 1t is believed will quietly submit.
The output to-day exceeded that of
any day since the strike. Southwest
loaded 100 cars OF coal and Is OF coke,
and Browning l2 cars Of coal. This,
with the Elkhorn output makes over
