Long Trip with a wheelbarrow.

Seventeen years ago, in 1878, Lyman
Potter, of New York state, performed
the prodigious task of pushing a COM
mon paddy" wheelbarrow across the
continent. He started from his home
on Dane street, Albany, N. Y, on the
morning of April 10, 1873, and arrived
in San Francisco on the afternoon of
October of the same year, being al
most exactly one hundred and seventy
eight days five hours and three min
utes over, in performing the wearisome
feat. Potter was a shoemaker, and the
trip was the result of wager made by
some friends who believed that such a
trip would occupy at least two hun
bred days. The wager was one thou
sand dollars, but Potter made between
three and five times that sum advertis.
ing for different parties along the
route. The wheelbarrow was made
specially for the use to which 1t was
put and weighed but seventy-fve
pounds. The distance travelled by Pot.
ter was exactly four thousand eighty
Ave and three-quarter miles.

The returns indicate that it is in

fight at the Dallas fair. There may
be reasons why this is thus, but
the whenceness of the why is not

may be that Georgia being less
highly civilized than Texas, the
brutality that goes in the Goober
state is out of joint in the Lone

The real reason of discomfort in
this city arises from the fact that
we see what San Antonio does not
do and we only hear OF what the
other cities of the state are going
to do. When the years. returns
are footed up there is no discount
on this city. There may be few
mosquitoes, but no flies on her.
That she makes progress from
year to year is as true as that she
might make more.

A CHURCH CENsURED.-A council
composed of all the Baptist churches
in the District of Columbia and this
city met yesterday evening at the
Walker Memorial Baptist church,
Washington, to take into considera-
ton grievance which was based on
the action of the Shiloh Baptist church
in receiving as members into their fell
lowship persons who had been exclud-
ed from the Walker Memorial church
for misdemeanor. A committee which
was appointed submitted the following
report, which was unanimously adopt
ed.
"Be it the sense of this council, That
any church belonging to the District OF
Columbia or Alexandria, Va, that will
receive into its fellowship members
who have been communicated from
other regular Baptist churches, or per-
sons who have not been duly dismiss
ed by letter, shall be regarded as irreg-
ular and disorderly.
"We further recommend that Shiloh
church be requested to reconsider her
action touching the reception of all
members who have been excluded or
illegally received from the Walker
Memorial church, in order that the fell
lowship which has so long existed be-,
tween her and the sister churches OF
the District Of Columbia and vicinity
may continue"

FINED FIVE Decentralization was
made yesterday of the unseemlv con-
duct of negro named Alfred Thomp-
sou on passenger train on the Wash
ington Southern Railway and bis arrest
upon the arrival of the train in this city.
The accused is a low-set dudisb indi-
vidual who wears a handkerchief
around his neck. From the evidence
In the Police Court this morning it
seems he boarded the train in Washing
ton for way station between that and
this city and after ensconcing himself
IN the ladies' car began putting on
cigar. A lady sitting behiud him re-
quested him to cease smoking, but he
paid no heed to the request, and it be-
came necessary to notify Conductor
Adams, who ordered him to stop smok-
ing or 60 into the next car. He began
again, however, as soon as the con-
ductor's back was turned, and behaved
very discourteously toward the lady
who complained of his conduct. Mr..
Adams then proceeded to take him
from the car and when the train arrived
here he was taken il charge and lock-
ed up. Mayor Strauss this morning
fined him SIS. Much complaint is made
of the conduct of some of the negro
passengers on the local trains between
this city and Washington, especially in
the night, and quiet people applaud the
train officials when such i'll behaved
people are summarily dealt with.

TIcKET OFFICE RoBBED.-The ticket
Office of the Washington Southern Rail-
way in this city was robbed between
three and four o'clock this morning
the second time within the past few
months-the former occasion, it will be
remembered, being on Saturday af-
ternoon. The special officer on duty
at the depot had been on the alert for
several days in anticipation of another
robbery, as it had been discovered that
the screws in the screen in the ticket
office had been tempered with. There
is but one officer on duty at the depot
at time, and he has quite large area
to 20 over, his jurisdiction extending
from Queen street down Fayette as far
south as the grave yards, and during
the night this beat has to be trayersed
often. The robbers doubtless bided
their time when this official was half o
mile from the ticket Office. The lower
portion of the screen was removed, an
entrance effected and the money
drawer robbed of $3.50 which had
been left therein. The railroad and
city officers are endeavoring to ferret
out the robbers.

may be procured. Later, however,
Stewart consented to accompany Oil

hood of the robbery and locate the
place where part of the booty was hid
