AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
The Year 1896 Not a Prosper
Gus One With Railroads,
But an Improvement Over Some
That Preceded 1t.
Items of Interest About Kansas Rail
road Matters-Personals and
Miscellaneous.

The year just closed has been one of
disappointment and losses in all lines
of business, and as the railroads can
not prosper when other interests suffer,
they have painfully reflected the gem
eral depression.
The year will pass into history as one
of very light earnings. 1t started out
with some encouragement and for the
first six months, While many roads had
to report decreases, the aggregate earn
ings were considerably larger than for
the same period of 1895. But with the
coming of midsummer and the cam
palgn excitement business generally
decreased and although a little later
a large grain crop began to move it
was less than during the previous year.
Rate wars cut down the earnings from
tnat source and the fall months show
ed large decreases as compared with
the corresponding months of the pre-
yious year. The increase gained in the
first half of the year was not entirely
wiped out, however, and the year, as
as whole shows a somewhat better
total, gross and net, than 1895.
Compared with either 1894, 1898, or
1892, the record of 1896 is favorable, al
though at the best it is still bad
enough, for it shows that during last
year "a roads. with 5,441 miles of lines
and a bond and stock capitalization of
about $275,600, coo, joined the list of rail-
ways operated by receivers.

BLIND MAN SEES LIGHT.
The K Ray Gives Partial Sight to
"Millionaire Rouss'' Man.

New York, Jan. 2.-The Herald says:
The x ray yesterday has given a glim-
mer of light to eyes that had been
sightless for ten years. The subject of
the test was John F. Martin, who, by
submitting to experiments as substi-
tute for Charles Broadway ROuss, has
become known as Mr.. RouSs' man."
Martin presented himself to Mr.. RouSS
eight months ago. He was formerly a
druggist, but in 1887 was stricken with
drOpsy of the optic nerves and became
totally blind. Famous OculiStS treat
ed him from time to time, but all agreed
that his case was hopeleSs-that he
would never see the light again.
Hearing that Mr.. Rouss was TO sub
nit to a hundred volts of electricity
in the hope that the shock might re-
store his sight, Martin called on the
merchant last April with this PROPOSE
ton:
If the shock kills me it would kill
you; if ii cures me it will cure you.
Let me submit TO the experiment in
your stead
Mr. Rouss assured the volunteer that
he had no intention of undertaking
such a. perilous risk, nor would he con-
sent to any body undergoing it for him,
but he was of a mind to try another
experiment which had been suggested
to him, and here he let Martin take his
place. Martin has since submitted to
a succession of tests, perhaps half
hundred. Two attendants led him to
the office of DR.. David r. Edison.
The blind man, although he had
grown accustomed to experiments. was
visibly nervous as he was placed in
front of the electric apparatus. The
Horoscope was placed at his eyes and
the x rays turned on. There was for
an instant a vicious swapping of the
current, then absolute stiffness, as all
in the room strained to watch the face
of the man in front of the electric
glare. At length DR.. Edison asked:
do you see anything?"
NO answered Martin.
His lips had scarcely framed the re-
ply when there rang from him: Il can
see-I can see light and the joy in
the tone move all who heard it. DR..
Edison at once turned off the ray. Mar
tin was deply moved at the CLEAN which
had penetrated his long darkness, and
he was led to a seat to compose him
self before the experiment was contin-
ued
DR. Edison questioned him about the
effect of the ray but the blind man only
repeated that he had seen light.
Again the Horoscope was placed at
his eyes. This time he received the
impression of light more quickly, and
when he had reveled in it for moment
a piece of metal was passed in front of
the Horoscope. Martin detected the
movement instantly.
''It is a shadow" he said, but 1t is
like the sun going behind a cloud
Enough had been done for day, and
the man, rejoicing in even this little
relief that had come to his years of
blackness, was led from the office.
