RUSSIAN RAILROADS.
Thirty.Fivc Miles an Hour is the
Limit for Fast Trains.

Russia, with over 4,S75,000 square
miles of area more than the United
States. has 15S,000 miles less of rail-
roads. Most of the engines burn nap
htha oil for fuel, with excellent re-
suits. This oil is the refuse from the
first refining and costs about 40 cents
per barrel. This oil is also used for
general lubricating purposes.
None Of the engines have bells, but
Instead have two whistles. The en-
gines are finely painted; the wheels
red, frames black; jacket al cabs
green, with a fine black stripe; the
inside of cabs nearly white, or cream
color.
The speed of freight trains is limited
to twenty miles per hour, while the
fast express is limited to thirty five
miles rer hour.
In switching and making up of trains
all signals are given by sound--that
is, the switchman has a tin horn which
he blows, and the engine driver is
obliged to repeat this signal by whistle
before he goes ahead. When an engine
stops the engineer is required to give
three short whistles.
The passenger coaches are divided
into three classes-first, second and
third. They are all lighted by candles.
The outside Of the first class car is
painted blue; second-class, yellow;
third-class, green; plainly lettered
without any stripping. Some cars are
partitioned off in the centre-one sec
tion for first-class passengers, the other
for second-class passengers-these are
painted one-half yellow the other half
blue; and the same combination for
second and third class-these are
painted half yellow and half green.
There is only a single road of all
double track, and that is 400 miles
long. Some of the switches are provld-
ed with padlocks spiked to one of the
crossties in the centre of the track.
To move switch requires the use of
a key to the paddock, which is about
ten inches long and weighs several
pounds.

THE HORSE KICKED.
Tears a Nanticoke Bows Jaw and
knocks Six Teeth Out.

WilkesBarre Sept. 3.-Myraggyn
Reese, of Nanticoke, the noted 15-year-
old contralto singer, who has won nu-
merous prizes by his fine voice, met
with an accident last night which, it
is feared, will incapacitate him from
singing in the future or at least inter-
fere seriously with his vocal evercise.
He was seated in carriage ready
to take a drive, when the horse was
struck in the head by a stone. The
animal shied violently and just as it
did Reese leaned forward to secure a
tighter grasp of the reins. The horse
thereupon administered a forceful kick,
the hoof striking young Reese squarely
in the jaw and knocking him uncon-
scious. A half dozen teeth were knock
ed out, a piece of flesh torn from his
cheek and his face badly bruised.

LOST MAN FOUND.
Young Man Discovered Nearly Dead
from HUNGER.


Pittston, Sept. 3.-Nearly a week ago
Robert Lane. a young man who lives
on a farm a few miles from Tunk-
hammock in the direction of Ii, Grange,
went to the woods to bring the cattle
home. He did not return, and search
was made for him without success. The
young man was subject to epileptic
fits, which made the situation all the
more serious. 1t was feared that he
was dead, but the search was con-
tinued day after day by his relatives
and friends, and last evening at six
o'clock he was found by his brother
lying in the forest near the Menger
farm.
The young man was nearly dead from
hunger and exposure, but 1t is hoped
that will good care he will recover.

had nothing to eat but sassafras.

WILL BE OPPOSED

Richmond, April 30.-The proposition
of Mr.. Payne, of the Acetylne Gas Com.
pany, to buy the city gas works attracts
n good deal of attention. The subject is
one on which there is great division of
sentiment, and there is grave doubt
whether proposition to sell the plant
would be ratified by the people even if
approved by the Council. The working
classes would vote almst solidly against
1t, as the placing of the works in the
hands OF private individuals would mean
reduction in the wages of the employees,
who are now among the best paid me-
chanics and laborers in the city. Super
lntendent Knowles is satisfied that the
works can be sold for--much more than a
million dollars, the amount of Mr..
Payne's.offer, and that. they will. yield
this year net revenue of $4,000. Colo
mel Marshall, of Portsmouth. is counsel
for syndicate that desires to acquire the
plant. The chances are that bids will be
invited it q sale is considered expedient.
