SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Dec. s.
Work is progressing rapidly along the line
of the new coast railway. The track is
laid into Shuman Canyon, and the con-
tractors are making rapid strides toward
the point where the great viaduct is to
span the Los Alamos Creek. All the ma
terial for the viaduct is ready, awaiting
transportation TO the site, and will be car
ried forward as soon as the rails are laid
1t has been definitely determined that
the stone for the piers, as well as for the
Santa Ynez bridge, will have to be brought
from beyond the Santa Maria River. The
viaduct and grading between the Santa
Ynez bridge will be completed at almost
the same time. 1t is thought that the
terminus of the coast road will be the river
for the greater part of the year.

NORTHERN PACIFIC EARNINGS.
Gratifying Increase In the Receipts for
October.

October.
PORTLAND, Or, Dec. s.-Auditor Mar
tin of the Northern Pacific has just SUBJ
mitted to General Manager Kendrick a
comparative statement of operations for
October which brings out strongly the
wonderful recuperative powers of the big
transcontinental system. The statement
shows gratifying increase in gross earn
ing over the corresponding month last
year, while there has been wholesome re-
duction id the operating expenses.
The ratio of the operating expenses to
the gross earnings for October has been cut
down exactly s per cent lower than for
October, 1894. In other words, the gross
earnings for the month this year show an
increase of more than quarter of mil
lion dollars over the same month last year,
while there has been reduction of $92.-
146 As in the expenses OF operating the
road. This leaves the net earnings for
October 1879 $50 40.

BROWN UNIVERSITY,

President Andrews, in his report to the
Corporation OF Brown University, gives
very interesting account of the Univer-
sity athletics, and gives very decided
opinion on the merits OF several games,
placing football very nearly il not en-
tirely at the top of all American sport.
In speaking of the excesses and injuries
OF the different sports and the influences
they have on repressing vices, he says:
son this account i cannot but think
footbSjl, despite all tnat Is said against
1t, an 1nvs luab BILE game. Rowing, which
some have compared with it, place far
beneath IL in worth, vastly less interest
ing, enllsting fewer men and allowing
much smaller sc ope for the cultivation
OF moral traits" He thinks the fault
of football lies in the umpiring and ref
ereeing, and this, hrst OF all, should be
remedied more than the rules. He favors
the diminishing of the number and vio-
lence of the collisions. In speaking of
the different criticisms and judgments
In favor OF football DIR. Andrews gives
the following statistics of the game as
played at number OF leading colleges
in 1894 and says distinctively that they
refute the current opinion touching the
danger of foot ball.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-09-20

For those in perfect health and trained
to II football is safer than either rowing,
yachting, cunning or riding to hounds.
Rowing appears to be many times as
fatal. So is base eball During 1894 sew
eral men were killed by flying bats or
swift curves. Even tennis is worse. Sew

Gently occurred In this game. One athlete
slipped and sustained a compound frac-
ture OF q leg; another suffered greatly
from bad injury TO an ankle, and a
third, after seven years of foot tball at
Princeton, without injury, sprained an
ankle so severely at tennis that he was
crippled for five weeks.
A meeting of the Glee, Mandolin and

also drew up resolutions TO present to
their successors requesting them to make
the limit OF each share $50, his money to
cover the personal individual expenses OF
the men, which are outside OF the regular
expenses. This would do away with the
opinion held by some that the clubs are
o money-making scheme. All extra
money made after the manager has re-
ceived fair commission is To be disposed
OF I'm such college departments AS the club
shall vote. This system has been tried
at Princeton and has proved a grand sue
cess, the added pleasure and longer trips
more than compensating for the money.

fearful, but there was no way OF llDerat-
ing them. Five fine jersey cows and three
valuable horses, sggregating in value 200,
were burned to death.
The only outbuildings saved were small
carriage shed and q blacksmith shop. A

wagon. market wagon ana quantity
OF valuable farming machinery were also
q total loss.
The market wagon was loaded with
produce ready to be taken TO Providence
early in the morning. Mr.. Gardiner said
that he had his suspicious regarding the
origin OF the fire and would put the
matter In the hands of the proper autho-
rites for Investigation. When questione
by q reporter he at first said he suspect cd
a man who had worked for him three or
four years ago, but afterward said that
it was a family affair and refused to dis
cuss the matter further.
The insurance was about $500, placed in
Providence and Pawtucket companies.
The total loss is approx imately $4,000.
The fire showed DIP plainly in Riverside,
nearly four miles away, and an alarm
was rung in by the patrolman on the
Lincoln avenue beat. When the where
abouts OF the fire was discovered recall
was sounded. The fire burned for more
than three hours SO that 1t was plainly
