RAILROADS IN THE GREAT CITY
Their Mileage and That Of Other
American cities.

From the sun.
In respect of elevated railroad SER
vice New York and Brooklyn will stand
far In advance not only of other Amer
lean cities but of all American cities
combined, for they will have together
l6O miles of elevated lines. whereas the
next largest elevated railroad mileage,
In Chicago. Is only sixty-six. The
street car mileage of the present city
or New York is 1885, of which one COM
pany, the Metropolitan Traction. has
lS5, thirty-five of which are operated
by cable or electric power The Third
Avenue Railroad company has fifty
nVe miles of surface lines, and the
union railroad of the annexed district,
sometimes called the Huckleberry, has
twenty-eight. The railway system of
Kings county has $50 miles, exclusive
OF the elevated railroads and the steam
car lines running into and out of
Brooklyn. There are thirty miles of
double track and eight miles of single
track steam lines and thirty-five miles
or trolley car lines on Staten Island,
and TX to these totals be added the
steam railway system in New York.
the Central, Harlem and New York
and Northern, within the city boun-
daries. total of 1000 miles of rail-
road mileage within the Greater New
fork Is obtained, q mileage larger than
some European countries have and a
mileage remarkable in other respects,
the number of passengers carried be-
ing greater per mile than in any other
country and than in any other city of
this country. Philadelphia has 400
miles OF street railroad, Chicago has
nearly 800, exclusive of the primitive
AFFAIR known as the Chicago Elevated.
Boston has $50, st. Louis 295. Balti-
more 225. Washington 40, San Fran

velopment of the railroad lines of the
country has been retarded during the
last few years in consequence of the
hard times. the mileage of the surface
lines within the large cities and con-
Meeting neighboring towns has been
Increased enormously by the introduce
ton of the trolley.
At the beginning of the civil war,
the mileage centre Of the country was

AMOUNTS TO BLACKMAIL
WAY COLLECTIONS ARE BEING MADE
FROM DEMOCRATIC EMPLOYEES.
One Fire Captain Who Demurred Pay
The White River Interceptor.

The Taggart committee has not had an
altogether pleasant experience in collecting
the campaign levy from city employees.
Eiremen were assessed s15 each and fire
captains $50 Protests and grumblings from
city employees had no effect on the campaign
collectors. There was one captain who
having been in bad luck. was unwilling to
contribute $40 or any other amount to help
re-elect Mayor Taggart. He fatty refused
to give anything when the collector reached
him.
Il cannot afford to give anything" said
the captain. MY wife has been sick
and -
IF you don't want to give anything"
said the collector insolently. there are
plenty of men standing around ready to
take your place who will give"
The threat was sufficient The captain
made no more arguments. He turned pale
at the thought of losing his place. and
handed over the amount demanded
Members of the police force have been
called on to help swell the enormous cam
paign fund that is being raised to re-eect
Taggart. The assessments on patrolmen
are $l5 each. Most of the men can i'll afford
to make the contributions, but when any
are found to be obstreperous the threat
Hdde 10 the captain OF the fire force has
the desired effect and the collector departs
with swelled pockets and a self-satisfied
smile.
Most of the saloon men have marched up
10 the campaign bureau to contribute their
quota to the campaign fund with alacrity.
some, however, have paid under duress
hints as to what they might expect after
election were enough to frighten them into
submission. What money is needed beside
the contributions from the coerced city en-
ployes and saloons is handed over by the
beer syndicates. Mr.. Spencer's short keg''
fund is pretty large, but the demands on it
are enough to break an ordinary bank.

HOLDING BACK ASSESSMENTS.
Afraid to Accept the
white River Interceptor.


The mayor and the city engineer are loud
w proclaiming that they are not holding
back the assessments for The White river
interceptor until after election, but the fact
remains that the assessments are not made.
The cost of the sewer to property owners
is $152. sos The bid was regarded as an ex-
ceedingly low one, and it is commonly re-
ported that the Fulmer-Seibert Company
has lost upon the contract The sewer was
finished several weeks ago, but the engineer
claims that the delay in making the assess
ment is caused by the fact that portion
of the sewer just north of Sixteenth street
is not satisfactory to him. The chances are
that it will be entirely satisfactory three
weeks hence, after the election is over.
The sewer is the last of the Herring sys-
tenn, with the exception of the proposed
conversion of Pogue's run into closed
sewer, which will probably not be under
taken for some years hence. Next to the
sewer built in old Fourteenth street. known
as 1.-The State ditch sewer" it is the longest
in the city, running in an irregular course
frcm this State ditch sewer at Capitol ave-
nue. and Twenty-Second street to the inter-
ceptor at Kentucky avenue and West
street, a total length of a little less than
four miles. The assessment area is the
largest of any except the main interceptor.
for which the whole city WIS assessed. The
district contains 1856 655,374 square feet, of
which 1853 $3.50 is abutting property. The
district assessment is a slight fraction of a
property as such is fraction under 1918 a
thousand square feet making the total as
sessment for abutting property fraction
over $3.50 thousand. Upon the average
lot of 40x156 feet this will amount to $3405
for abutting property and $6.2S for the dis
trict assessment.

TEXAS FEVER CONTROLLED.
Indiana TURNER'S Wish Hog Cholera
Was easily Wiped Out.

There is some interest in the origin of
Texas fever among kline. since one or two
cases were discovered south of the city Not
much is known in this section of the country
about this disease. 1t is caused by species
of ticks that very much resemble the COM
mon wood tick OF this section. City San
itarian Clark has few specimens of the
parasites in his possession. The ticks fasten
themelves upon cattle. BY some means they
communicate a deadly virus to the animals
when they sink their fangs in the skin.
While those Astounding in Texas inoculate
the animal with a deadly virus. If they are
brought TO this section and propagate their
progeny are incapable of poisoning animals
as none OF the deadly virus is TO be found
about them. DIR. Clark was unable TO eX-
plain this, as he Is not familiar with the
subject. II is presumed that there is some
thing in the Texas atmosphere or IN the
soil that accounts for it, Because of the
inability OF the progeny of the imported
ticks to inoculate cattle DIR. Clark says that
1t Is comparatively IN easy matter TO stamp
known to be infected in a short time the
disease runs It's course. DIR. Clark says
that cattle cannot be inocuated with the
DR.. Clark says that If hog cholera were
as easily controlled immense sums of money
would be saved TO the farmers Of Indiana.
1t Is estimated that the loss from this dis
ease reached 5000, 900 last year.

Brewing Company Rebels.

Brewing Company Rebels.
Mr.. Spencer, chairman of the "de jure''
Democratic city committee, was looking
bit weary last night when he and Michael
Burns turned up at the Grand Hotel short
ly before II o'clock for a consultation with
Mayor Taggart. Mr.. Spencer was nervous
ly lingering seven nickels, dropping them
one by one into his left hand and picking
them up again after the fashion of the
faro player who fondles his last chips.
Things had been going wrong ever since
Colbert revealed that scheme to defeat
Judge Cox. The ode facto' committee,
otherwise known as the 'Klondike,' had
not been doing the square thing in the way
Of funds. Frenzel had been showing a dis
position to hog all the funds, while the
fiendish Reach had been sending all the
"short-keg'' beggarS down for him to take
care of.
But this was not the worst of it. The
Terre Haute Brewing Company had de-
clined to honor an order from that famous
generalissimo, "Bill' Flynn for pony
given to some of the thirty byeS. The order
had been regularly signed m by Flynn as
it had been dishonored. Evidently the Terre
Haute beer was in open rebellion and had
broken with Flynn, who has been a con-
Meeting link between Taggart and the anti
syndicate crowd. Maurice Donnelly was in
Florida and nobody could tell where Craw-
ford FAIRBANKS was. Wnen IaSBdrL came
in with Mr. Bell after a pleasant evening
spent in watching his interests at various
points, a hasty consultation was held at
which it was suggested that the mayor take
another trip to West Baden via Terre
Haute and Chicago and see if he could not
accidentally run across Banks" again and
see what could be done to square things.
But the mayor has other troubles, mostly
anent Mr.. Colbert's case, that will keep him
here. 1t is possible that the mission may be
intrusted to Joseph T. Tanning, who has
a heap of influence with the Terre Haute
rnapnate
