In the record of railroad defaults and
recelverships observes the Railway Age.
Is inevitably reflected the business condi-
ton Of the country. In respect to the
number of companies, mileage, bonded OBJ
legations and capital stock. the receiver
ships Of the first six months OF lss0 show
a very large Increase over those OF the cor
responding period of 1885. For the pres
ent year eighteen roads. with mileage
OF 1885 and bonds and stocks OF aso,36 =
oGo. went into the hands of receivers. while
for the first six months Of 1885 there were
eleven roads. with mileage OF 400 and
bonds and stocks of SAD sl5.0oo. But 1t Is
not probable that the insolvencies Tor the
next six months will equal those In the
past six. for the good reason, that even
II the times do not greatly improve. the
list of great candidates for bankruptcy
has been nearly exhausted, for the pres
emit at least. Moreover. large crops are
In sight and there is good prospect OF pros
porous times after the disturbed condi-
tons connected with a political campaign
are ended. So while the record of rail-
road receiverships thus far this year Is
not encouraging. 1t need not be taken as
Indicative that a new era OF insolvenctes
has begun. In the past six months the to-
tai OF mileage and capital Involved was
vastly increased by the failure OF the
great Baltimore & Ohio Railroad COM
pany. which alone represents "a per cent.
OF the mileage and s. per cent OF the cap
itallzation in the six months total. II Is
safe TO assume that no failure so gigan-
tic will be recorded In the coming six
months.
The two great auction sales OF the six
months were those OF the New York.

of road. and Sled. 81. 900 OF bonds and stock.

Altogether the business OF railway re-

financial recovery. The recovery Is COM

Chinese Gambling House Raided.

Detectives williams. Wells and Phil
brick and Patro,man Barbee last night
pulled a Chinese gambling house, under
Gee Lees place at Fourth avenue south
and Washington street. and captured
lot OF odds and ends of apparatus and
gambling devices. There IS no doubt in
the minds OF the officers that the games
had been running full blast Immediately
before their arrival on the scene. The
ringing Of an electric bell was heard as
soon as the building was reached. and
when the room where the games had been
running was located not Chinsman was
TO be found. although the gas was burn
ing brightly. The police state that every
time game Is pulled the entire arrange
fnent OF doors ami partitions is changed.
No matter how familiar the police may
make themselves With a building where
Chinese games are conducted II is sure
20 be changed on the occasion of another
visit. The delay last night was owing TO
q new series OF blind passages.
