SIGNATURE rs GENUINE.

Mrs. Ouackenbush Changed Receipt
to Marriage Contract.
In the trial at San Francisco of the suit
of Mrs. Nancy Abbott, who claimed to be
the wife CT Thomas Quackenbush, the
aged capitalist, experts testified that Mrs.
Abbott had undoubtedly been guilty of
fraud and forgery. Their evidence show
ed that, while Quackenbush's signature
Ito the marriage contract seemed genuine.
Mrs. Abbott had resorted to the old trick
of erasing the writing above the genuine
signature and substituting something more
to her purpose. Thus an old receipt was
converted by the erasure system into a
genuine love letter, and the marriage con-
tract was similarly manufactured.

Over One Mi1IiOn Tons OF Rails Have

The Iron Trade Review says: "The steel
rail war was brief and fierce, and the
execution was quite all that could be de-
sired. It is safe to say that nearly $780,
100000 worth of rail business is on the
books Of the members of the late pool,
nearly ali of it taken in five days. If we
count $4,000 tons of Pittsburg sales, in
addition to 100000 tons of foreign orders
and 100000 tons of rails optioned to home
trade, and to this add 1000 tons taken
by Illinois and 100000 to 100000 tons
sold by Eastern mills, we shall have a
total of 1,O75, 900 TONS"

BIG PROFITS OF sUEz CANAL.
Waterway Is Not Used by American
Ships,

The business of the year just closed was
the most remunerative ever experienced
by the Suez canal, according to United
States Consul General Penfield, at Cairo,
and the traffic aggregated almost $4,000
600 in value. The number of vessels u.s.
ing the waterway was tWenty-seven less
than in the preceding year, but the tom
mage was greater and the canal receipts
were enhanced by the transit of great
number of Italian soldiers going to and
from the Abyssinian war. British ships
fell off in number, but still made up two
thirds of the traffic, while the German
shipping in the canal increased. Not a
single ship bearing the United States flag
passed through the canal last year.

EPIDEMIC OF MEASLES.
Chicago Health Department Sends
Out Warming to Schools,


Chicago health department officials are
alarmed at the large number of cases Of
measles in various parts of the city. In
Lake View and other districts the disease
is epidemic. In many of the cases the
disease, through complication with pneu-
monia and bronchitis, proves fatal. The
school inspectors of the health department
have been given special instructions to
watch for the disease. No children from
an infected family will be allowed to at
tend school until two weeks after the dis
ease has disappeared. A notice to that
effect was sent to the principal of every
public school in the city.

Chinese have completely denuded East
ern China of it's timber, and are now
drawing upon ours. Recent stimulation of
mill building in China and the growing
liking of the natives for foreign-style

ELECTRIC LAMP COMBINE.
Big Concerns Organize to Crush Out
Small Competitors.

Big Concerns Organize to Crush Out
Small Competitors.
One of the most powerful combines ever
organized in the United States has just
been entered into between probably a
dozen of the largest manufacturers of in
candescent electric lamps. The combine
is already engaged in an effort to crush
out all opposition through threats of suits
for damages for alleged infringements
upon certain patents. There has been no
exchange of stock or consolidation of the
effects of the companies but instead the
combine has been effected through the
pooling of patents controlled by the sew
eral companies, in order that they may
be able to array themselves against all
competitors who refuse to come in and
raise prices on lamps. In this way the
promoters of the scheme hope to speedily
crush out all of the small concerns that
have waged unceasing warfare against
their wealthy competitors by cutting
prices.

1,O2G Miles in 1S:52:OO.

The special train from Chicago over the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and the
Burlington and Missouri Railroads, char
tered by Henry J. Mayham. a Denver
Investment broker, reached Denver at
1852 Tuesday morning, having run 1,O2G
miles in IS hours and SO minutes. This
journey goes into history as the greatest
railroad feat ever accomplished. The best
previous railroad longdistance record
was 10 hours and 81 minutes for 9G4
miles over the New York Central and
Lake Shore Railroads from New York to
Chicago. Mr.. Mayham, who left New
York Sunday on the Pennsylvania Limit
ed, chartered special train at Chicago
in order to reach the bedside of his dying
son, William B. Mayham, as quickly as
possible. The Burlington officials agreed
to take him to Denver in twenty-four
hours. 1t was at first thought the trip
might be made in twenty-one hours.
Every resource of the Burlington system
was brought into play and over two hours
were clipped off from the best running
time that was thought to be possible. On
straight stretches of track the train COW
cred more than sixty miles an hour. The
mountain climb from Akron, Colo, to
Denver, 11S miles, was made in 124 min
utes, the train running an even mile a
minute most of the distance. At Lincoln.
Neb., Travelling Engineer Dixon, of the
Burlington, entered the cab of the engine
and remained with each engineer until the
train reached Denver. kilograms from
all parts of the United States inquired
concerning the progress of the train and
the possibility of Mr.. Mayham reaching
the side of his son in time at least to
grasp his hand before he was beckoned
across the dark river. But Mr.. Mayham
arrived in Denver too late to see his son
alive. The young man died shortly after
midnight. Mrs. Mayham, mother of Will,
and her daughter were in New Orleans
when appraised of his illness, and they are
also hurrying homeward. Will Mayham
was one of the most promising young bust
ness men in Denver.
