New Idea In Railway Tracks.

The annoyance of wheels slipping OF
tracks, especially in up grades, and tho
tremendous resistance experienced have
led to a new invention. The rail is pro-
vided with an edge or rim covered with
oogs or teeth, and the wheel has SINH
lar cogs which engage with them. These
cogs are set on diagonally, inclining
downward, and are less likely to accu-
mulate dust and dirt. - New York

Fight for Control of Greater New
York Drawing Rapidly To-
ward the End.
IF the Betting Is Indicative of
Results Tammany Will Be Fl
the Winner.
All Admit the Situation Affords
Large Opportunities for
Conjecture.

New YORK, Oct. 27.-With only q
few days remaining in which to com.
plete the work of the municipal cam.
paign, the political situation in Greater
New York continues to afford large OPP.
portunities for conjecture. So far as
the betting is indicative of the results,
Tammany appears to have the best Of
it, although there are offers Of Repub.
lican money upon terms that should
prove alluring to those who have cash
with which to back up their predictions
that Van Wyck will be chosen the first
mayor of the great municipality. The
odds on Van Wyck against the field are
quoted at betting headquartersas3 to I,
but at the rooms of the Republican
campaign committeeit is said that those
who have desire to bet against Gen.
eral Tracy can be accommodated with
even mo1.ey to any extent they may
desire.
That the strength of the Citizens
Union movement is not held in con.
tempt is shown by the space which it is
given in journals advocating one or the
other of the regular political parties.
Columns and even pages are devoted to
assaults upon Mr.. Lows record as d
pubic official and as the head of Col.
umbia university.
While the Jefferscnian Democracy's
strength, within certain limitations, is
conceded on all sides, it is only among
the most enthusiastic adherents of
Henry George that the claim is made
that he will be elected.

Railroads Must Sell Mileage Tickets Ac-

DETR11T. Mich, Oct. Ex-Governor
Pingree will begin Il mandamus suit
to compel the Michigan Central and
the Lake Shore roads to sell mileage
tickets, good for the purchaser and fam.
lily to two years, at $40, according to
the terms of the law recently declared
valid by the supreme court. The Mich.
igan Central sells mileage tickets for
$50, Tut requires many details in
purchasing them. The Lake Shore re-.
fuses to sell mileage tickets of any
kind.
To get case against the two roads,
Governor Pingree made a demand for
mileage tickets in person, and was re.
fused by the Michigan Central for less
than $50 and by the Lake Shore abso-
lutely. He declares he will fight the case
all through the courts as fast as they
can be reached.
The roads named are operating under
special charters. which, it is claimed,
exempt them from state enactments
regulating the sales of tickets.

This case on its face looks very nue.
as if the United States officials had

the schooner while pretending to be
very diigent in their Efforts to capture
her. &
Minister de LONE, acting under in

for an explanation. The administration

wrote to the collector of customs at
New York asking for q report on the
matter.
Telephone Would Not Work.
The report was received at the state
department., and was Immediately
transmitted to the treasury department..
It is shown that it was known some
hours before the schooner sailed that
she was preparing to leave; that man
was stationed to watch her with orders
to telephone to the dock, where the rev.
enue cutter with the marshals was in
waiting.
1t sets forth that the telephone was
ont Of order and the man could not tel.
ephone, but walked to the dock, thus
giving the schooner long start, aud
that the subsequent search was 1rult-
less.

was stated positively that the estate
was not worth over geo, 900, 900 or 325,.

Of years. Mr.. Lincoln said that
there were great number Of public
requests but refused to give them out.
Neither Of the executors of the will
would confirm or deny the statement
that Mr.. Pullman had disinherited his
two sons. George NJ. and Sanger w.
