hazardous occupation which they can
not insure against at the present rates

imously passed:

RAILROAD NOTES,

The head of one of the anthracite
coal roads says: THE forthcoming in
Aestigation of the coal combination by
the legislative committee will for one
thing show that there would be no
reason for an advance in the retail
prices even though the tidewater prices
of the companies should be advanced
81 a ton. 1t is the middlemen who
would be responsible for any increase
In the cost of coal to actual consumers.
The middlemen are the ones who have
been making all the money on coal. and
II they put up the price on consumers
the companies will probably combine
to wipe them out. With an end to the
warfare onong the companies there
will be no need for their services in
marketing coal"
cago last week were SCOTS tons, against
81. .532 tons the corresponding week last
year. or the total, the Michigan Cen
tral carried S.463 tons; Wabash. 7.462:

commissioners for the year 1895 makes
net decrease as compared with the pre-
ceding year Of nearly $l0,OO0.0OO. while
the operating expenses were reduced
less than $4,000. 900. Only two OF twen-
ty-six roads making reports to the
board paid a dividend. and there Were
very small. Thirteen of the twenty
four roads were In the hands OF re-
ceivers
When locomotives were first built and
l.Atn 10
and down the newly and rudely con-
structed railways OF England, the pub
lie roads were, for the greatest part,
crossed at grade, and the engine driver
had no way of giving warning of his
approach except by blowing a tin horn.
But this, as may be imagined. was far
from being a sufficient warning. One
day in the year 1888. 40 runs story of
the tSisin Of the locomotive whistle,
a farmer Of Thornton was crossing the
railway track OH one Of the country
roads with a great load of eggs and
butter. Just as he came upon the track
a train approached The engine man
blew his tin horn Justify. but the farmer
did not hear 1t. Eighty dozens of eggs
and fifty pounds of butter We're smashed
into an indistinguishable, unpleasant
mass. and mingled with the kindling
wood to which the wagon was reduced.
The railway company had 10 pay tne
farmer the value OF his fifty pounus
Of butter, his 96O eggs, his horse and
his wagon. 1t was regarded as a very
serious matter, and straight away di-
rector of the company went to Alton
Gragne, where George Stephenson
lived, to see IL he could not invent some
thing that would give warning more
likely TO be heard Stephenson went
to work, and the next day had con-
trivance, which. when attached to the
engine boiler and the steam turned on,
gave out II shrill, discordant sound. The
railway directors, greatly delighted,
ordered similat contrivances to be at
tached to all the locomotives, and from
that day to this the voice of the loco
motive whistle has never been silent.

was frightful. In the rush to the VIM

soon extinguished. Several people were
considerably brushed. but no one sus.

CLASS B ABOLISHED.
American Bicycle Riders VIII Now Be
Obliged to Pose as Amateurs or Pro-
fessiOuaIs on the Race Tracks.

Baltimore. Md. Feb. 12.-In conse-
quence of today's action by the League
OF American Wheelmen convention
tnere are now but two classes of BIZ
cycling racing men. Glass B, general
~ known as pro-amateurs, is wiped
out OF existence. There are 573 of this
class OF riders, all Of whom will be
given the option either Of becoming
amateurs or of accepting professional
ism. This definitely settles an agita-
tion that has been in progress among
wheelmen for years and has taken a
most prominent part in their affairs
ever since the sport was known. Glass
Il. which is now abolished. was a middle
ground between amateursm and pro-
fessionalism. and was adopted by the
btcyclers' body at the suggestion of
Howard B. Raymond. Of Brooklyn, then
chairman OF the national racing board
at the convention In Louisville in 1893,
it having previously been withdrawn
at the convention In New York the
year previous.
When cycling began to assume its
present wide field for profitable invest
ment. competition demanded advertise
ment. 1t was found by the makers that
If they could get fast racing men to
ride their wheels 1t aided greatly in
the sales. as some of the guileless as
surned that 1t was the wheel and not
the man that won the races. The repu-
tatlofI VI tH- great manufacturers or
this country and England were builded
on that basis. The competition then
became keen among the makers for
the services of the flyers and the re-
wards to them reached large propor-
tion. and thus started the scandal of
bicycling racing which has been wiped
out today. There has been growing for
years a sentiment to class these men
az professionals and today's action IL
q fruitton OF that agitation The i'm
mediate result Of the action Is to re-
move the cloak Of amateurism from
professionals.
The Decision Unexpected.
The agitation which led up to the de-
clSiOn was most unexpected. Amend
ments to the constitution and bylaws
were under consideration and several
having a bearing upon class B had
been adopted without an effort i'm the
