AND OHIO REPORT
satisfactory Showing for the Year
| in All DeDartmeutS

satisfactory Showing for the Year
in All Departments.
The annual report of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad was given out TO the stock
holders yesterday. The financial condi-
ton was more than satisfactory.
The gross earnings were S1O,70S, S,1S2.S1
for the ear ending June 80 last, and the
expenses were 81, ,76S.1S, or 6S per
cent OF the gross earnings. This is about
the same percentage as that Of last year.
The earnings and expenses OF the new line
from Lexington to Louisville were kept
under a separate head. The expenses on
that line ha we been very heavy, 81 %, 1854,
and were due to constant repairs on account
of damage by freshets.
ThcpasscDger earnin rs on the Chesapea ke
and Ohio for the year show a decrease,
while the freight earnings We're the largest
i'm the history OF the road.
The cost of two new piers at Newport
News, which were destroyed by fire last
A pril involved an outlay OF S125 900 above
the amount for which the piers were in
SIRED. New buildings have been erected
for the Companys use at different points
along the line az a cost OF S35, 500 50.
The financial condition of the Chesi-
peaAe and Ohio could hardly be better, the
management reports. The II per cent
mortgage bonds will enable them TO liqui-
date all current liabilities.

There is q peculiar analogy between ma
terial and psychological laws. Tesla has
just found that wireless teleGraphy is a
possibility. Marconi declares that IL is
entirely possible to construct senders and
receivers which are in electrical sympathy,
so that the current sent by one instrument
could be received only on a twin instru-
ment, whether the two We're six feet apart
or in opposite hemispheres. This discovery
bids fair almost TO revolutionize certain
arts OF our civilization, among them the
r1andcr could formerly obstruct communi-
cation by cutting wires, or learn the most
secret plans of the enemy by inserting
a receiving instrument at the break, moth
ing of this sort will now be possible.
This is only another proof that the whole
world is moving toward planes OF mutual
understanding and a quicker clearing
sway of errors.
Akin TO wireless telegraphy is a force
which has long been more or less dimly
recognized 10y -telenathy
Just as tie wireless telegraphic instru-
ment may transmit messages to its twin.
and to no other receiver, SO people I'm
sympathy through long association or
natural affinity may sometimes transmit
thoughts from one brain to the other at
a greater or less distance. There is n
mental atmosphere as well as a physical
atmosphere and thought is to the one
what electricity is to the other. As the
mental machinery OF people becomes more
perfect. and the chains OF communication
more complicated, there is a certainty and
wisdom about mems movements which
was impossible in other days, and just as
an orator OF quick perceptions may, on
entering a hail, feel nstn ctively the
temper OF his audience, and change his
whole line of speech to suit this temper.
so a statesman of genius may feel the
temper of people and act accordingly, or
an author catch the spirit of his age-the
electrical current of thought. 1t is only
about a hundred years since electricity
was made a working force in human af
fairs. Perhaps another half century Will
see a corresponding advance in the line Of
psychological knowledge.

THE WILSON INQUEST.
Stuyvesant Held for the Action of
the Grand Jury.

Philadelphia, Aug 2S.-A hammer, u
stencil plate and knob from dresser
drawer, bearing the bloody imprints of two
fingers aud thumb, were introduced yes
terday before the coroner in the mystery
surrounding the murder of Major william
Wilson, who vas found mangled on the floor
Of his circulating library on August 10.
The coroner's inquest yesterday made
public all the circumstances which might
connect the commission of the crime with
the porter, Marion Stuyvesant, imprisoned
as n suspect The hammer found under
the body, the Implement with which the
skulI and ribs of the victim were crushed,
was one that h ad been in use by the porter
1t had been kept in a drawer in the Kitchen
In this drawer was a stencil plate. having
what are believed to be marks left by the
blood On the hammer. The theory OF both
the coroner and the police is that the haIu-
mer was first taken from the drawer where
1t was kept and placed back after the con!-
mission of the crime, leaving the figure
in the stencil plate marked on the bottom,
of the drawer with the victirG's blood.
Detective Smith, who has read the book,
"Pudd 'inhead Wilson," discovered what
appeared to be the bloody prints of two
fingers and a thumb on the knob on the
dresser drawer. Recalling the unfolding OF
the plot In Mark Twain's story, Smith sug-
lses.ed that the iiuprints OF Stuyvesant's
fingers should be taken in ink, and this
was done
After hearing all the evidence OF de-
tectives the jury decided that Wilson was
killed by persons unknown, but the coroner
committed Stuyvesant for the action Of the
grand jury.

The rush for Alaska still keeps mp, not

that his situation is extremely critical
1t is stated that death, wounds and the

on His Presence in Cuba.
Havana, Aug. 2s.-La Lucha and the Ell

back is follow ing in the steps of Judge Day,

already framed his opinion regarding the

vestigation would show HIM any good ia

OF the jingo craftsmanship OF the Yankee,
and states that Mr. Ffshback's report will
he more violent even than Judge Days.
''Is it wise then," asks La Lucha, In
strong language, TO allow this Yankee
politician, diplomat, newspaper writer TO
go nosing through the island, trying to get
material to basea report on, unfavora ble ~
Span? The very fact of his presence her'.
is an incentive TO the rebels to continue

The political menacerie having shown,
srorted, cavorted and instructed our Re-
publican friends in several places, evinces
a disposition To do a little business In the
Democratic line down in Texas; and one
object Of the exhibition is not unlikely
to be the ample scalp of Senator Mills,
whose term will expir W ith this Congress.
1t is somewhat strange to read that the
people CT Texas are critical of the Sen
ator because Of this views on protection.
Probably this only would apply to such
OF the family dow there as are what yon
might call Reed Republican Democrats '"
1t is more easy of belief that Mr.. Mills
is under a little cloud in regard TO his
attitude on the silver question, when the
repeal OF the Sherman purchasing clause
was being bought, bluffed and bullied
through by Grover Cleveland and his Re-
publican allies. For manyreasons Mr.. Mills
would be missed In the Senate; but his most
probable successor, Mr.. Culberson, is =
strong man and personally would do credit
To- the Lone Star common wealth. One

insnuate that the Autocrat's young man,
