Among the disagreesble experiences
Of early railroad travel was the occa-
sional entrance OF a rail through the
door OF a car. The weight Of the rails
has steadily increased and the meth
DDS OF holding them down have inn
proved, but on good many roads
So pounds have been deemed heavy
enough. The Pennsylvania company
has decided to increase the weight Of
It's steel rails ON main lines from So
10 1000 pounds, and the change goes
into effect early next year, between
Jersey City and PittsbuTg The or
binary length OF rail Is now 80 feet;
the new ones will average 90 feet, thus
lessening the frequency OF joints aud
enhancing the smOOthness OF travel.
AS high as 200 pounds have been tried
but the present limit Il thought equal

ways are running steam railways hard
Ia this matter OF heavy steel rails,
aud 4 OO-p0und rail Is quite a common
thing on American streets, with hsh-
plates that are secured by as many as
ten or twelve bolts. The greater
weight has not only been due 10 the
heavier burden OF cars mechanically
propelled, but 70 u depth that is neces-
sary for rail against which paving

has been attempted OF giving such

THE shipment of California fruit to
the East for the season just closed was
about 1,100 carloads consisting of
cherries, apricots, plums, pears and
grapes, the total selling for about
S1,000,000. The amount realized was
not so large as the shippers expected,
partly on account of the railroad
strike in July, which left large
quantity OF fruit to spoil which would
otherwise have been put on the mar
ket, and partly because the general
depression in business reduced both
the consumption of fruit and the
prices which have heretofore pre-
vailed. In spite of all drawbacks,
however, the amount of fruit shipped
was greater than in any previous sea-
son and the prices realized were 50
satisfactory to the growers that the
business will be carried on next year
IN a still larger scale than ever.

THERE is scarcely a week that
passes by in which we do not read Of
a contest over a will. The very fact
that man has been able to amass a
competence, if not a fortune, might
be supposed to be prima facie evidence
that he was shrewd and intelligent
and possessed of good business
methods. And yet when he dies, be-
cause his heirs do not receive as much
OF his estate as they expected, they at
once set up the claim that he was not
in his right mind. It would seem as
if when will has been made devising
property with reasonable fairness,
doubts as to sanity should be looked
upon with suspicion and the claims OF
disappointed relatives only admitted
after the strongest and most over
whelming proof. If attempts at will
breaking continue to be as successful
as they now are, will-making NAV
eventually be counted among the lost
arts.

ACCORDING to the provisions of a
bill passed by the house of represen-
tatives, 5000 acres, covering the site
of the great battle of Shiloh, are to be
transformed into a national military
park. There will be few persons in
the North or South to cry this bill
nay. Shiloh was one of the most des-
perate battles in the worlds history,
fought by Americans on both sides,
as Runnymede was fought on both
sides by Englishmen. 1t was not as
decisive as was Runnymede, nor vet
as the grand struggle at Gettysburg,
still it was one which old comrades on
both sides continue to talk over and
dispute about. 1t will live in history
as Chickamauga and Gettysburg live.
The park will constitute a resort
toward which the steps of students Of
history will bend more and more as
he years go by.

A Sad Occurrence.

Last Saturday morning as Mr. J. II. Mapes was going out to his work on a hand car and when about opposite the Mariposa ranch, some obstruction, probably a spike, as q crooked one was found near the scene of the accident, threw the hand car from the rails, instantly killing his little daughter Lottie, a bright little girl in the seventh year Of her sweet young life.
 No death has for many years, so stirred the entire community, as did the tragic ending of Lottie Mapes, for f. seemed almost incredible that this only daughter of her adorning parents only sister of three devoted brothers, pet of the entire househould could really be gone and so suddenly-when but half hour before she had gaily taken her departure for day out on the road with her father.
 All day Saturday a stream of anx- ious friends poured into the house to take last look at the little one lying with calm brow and dropping lashes, just as she might have lain in sleep, few visible marks to show where the cruel iron struck; all day, and the day following the particu- lars of the accident were repeat ed in low tones of genuine sorrow amid the tears of pitying women even strong men were not ashamed to be seen wiping their eyes over the pitiful story which, briefly told, is this:
 The car was running at high rate of speed and the foreman had his eyes constantly on the track but little Lottie whose arm clasped his knee. stopped her singing to call, "oh papa as if she were going to tell him some thing, and he, dropping his eyes to her upturned face felt at the same instant the shock which threw him inseusi- ble and her dead without one cry of pain or one moments conscious suIer-

TINE FINANCIAL SCHEMES.

The announcement in the New MExI-
CAMS Geographic columns yesterday of
the defeat of the Springer or administra-
ton financial bill, coupled with the state
ment that the free coinage amendment
offered by Mr.. Bland was also defeated,
is of the greatest significance. 1t clears
up the situation perceptibly, and means
much. 1t means that Democratic con-
gress is not g oing to obey the dictates of
Wall street and provide for an issue of
gold" bonds, nor is it willing to jump in
and swallow with one gulp an out-and-out
free silver coinage proposition. Thus
we find the popular branch of congress
about ready to stand on some sort of
reasonable common ground between
Grover Cleveland and Wall streets gold
bond theory on one side and the interests
of the masses--which means the welfare
of silvsr-on the other.
Now, with the senate finance commit
tee also committed against the Wall
street idea and majority OF silver ad-
vocates in the senate, it seems probable
that one of two things must happen.
Either there will be no sort of financial
legislation by this session of congress, or
there will be compromise which will
afford the silver interests a chance for
making very long leap to tie front.
Wall street may force gold to premium
in the meantime to thwart the latter
move, but the country is pretty well pre-
pared for such a move and with $685.
100000 of available cash in the treasury
and surplus in sight at the close of
1895 of over $22,OOO,0OO such bluff will
scarcely be successfully Unanswered.
As matters now stand the chances ap-
pear good that recourse will be had to
some financial measure following the
lines originally laid down by Secretary
Carlisle. That is "coin" bonds to tide
over the present emergency will be pro-
vided for and everything in the way of
money below $40 will be silver. This
will about consume the American product
and will serve to clinch the use of silver
as money while preventing Democratic
congress from expiring in utter disgrace.
With such possibility in sight news
from the national capital will prove of
absorbing interest during the next twenty
