Probably the most accommodating
railway trains in the world are those
run on some of the minor lines in Nor
way and Sweden. Perhaps it was here
the term accommodation train" had
its origin. The train pluuges madly
along from one station to another, gen
orally five or six kilOmeterS, each kill
ometer being almost three-hfths of a
mile. Then it ops long time.
There is much running to and fro,
between travellers and their acquaint-
auces on the station platforms, lifting
Of hats, man TO man, and no end o.
eating and drinking. Almost every
station has its luncheon counter, and
some one is hungry at every stop. The
guard moves up and down the tralp J.,
closing door after door, but he has no
sooner got his passengers cOrralled at
one end of the long line of carriages
than some of them have broken out
again at the O, her. This traveller
wants another beer he has already
had one, in addition to a couple at the
last station before this and another
renews conversation with his local
friends. The guard stands about in
respectful patience, ana finally lifts his
hat erentially and says: IF you
are ready, gentlemen. we will start"
Some excitement has been raised in
| England by the announcements that
contracts for rails for India have been
awarded to american rolling mills, but
| the government officials VINO authoriz-
ed the contracts stated that the rails
complied with all the requirements as
| to quality and would cost only about
| $3.50 per ton, as against 81! 80 per ton
bid by the English rail mills. The
Mary land Steel company, of Sparrows
Point, Md, has contract for Trails
| for the Bengal and Nagpur railways,
both of whl,h railway $ are government
lines oper atea by companies. The dou-
ble-head rail is Ii inches high, aud
the heads are 5-l6 inches broad. The
web is three-fourthS inch thick, and
the weight is 50 pounds per yard. IL

and in fact is an Old-fashioned st ctiOn.
which has been largely abolished for
the bull head rail, IN which the two
heads are, as rule, lot symmetrical,
but the lower head is only large enough
to give seat in the cast-lrOn char,
and hold for the wooden block which
secures the rail in the chair. The orig
inal idea of the doubie-head section
was that when one head was worn the
rail could be turned upside down and
fact, however, the lower head is so in
dented IT the points where it res.s in
the chairs, that this head makes very
hard riding track if the rail is turned.
1t is also said that such inverted rails
are quite likely to break.

THE POWER OF REMOVAL,
An Important Decision BY Judge


An Important Decision by Judge
Cox.
Judge Cox of the supreme court OF
the District of Columbia dismissed the
bill of complaint of John G. Wood, SUI
perintendent of mails at Louisville,
ask ng that POstmaster-G General Gary
and Assistant POstmaster-General
Heath be enjoined from removing him
from office.
The case has been considered in the
nature of q test of the power of removal
and the delivery of the opinion con-
Germs many officials, including mem
bers of the civil service commission.
Judge Co1's decision was an elabor-
alton of the law. He holds that it was
not within the power OF court OF
equity to grant matters of appoint
ment. He stated that it was settle d
law. that the power of removal was an
incidental power of appointment, and
that both could be eXo rcised by the
head of department in reference to
subordinate officials.
Concerning the civil service law,
Judge Cox he'd that it must not be
construed 20 grant authority, either TO
the civil service comm ssiOn or to the
president to make rules contrary to the
law itself, or of legislative character.
He quoted with approval the decision of
Justice Brewer, that congress could not
delegate its power to legislate to any
ad administration.
The decision sums up as follows: ITO
sum up, | conclude that, apart from the
civil service act, the postmaster-ge ner-
al had the authority to remove the
complainant from office at his pleasure;
that this law makes no change in this
respect, except to forbid removal for
refusal to contribute 10 partisan Cb-
IentS. the RI tho mi G.
sion and to the pres dent to establis b
rules to carry that act into effect, does
not authorize any rule which shall
make change in the law in this
respect and consequently that, even if
this court had jurlsd lotion in a case
like this present one, the comp ainant
is not entitled to the prayer asked
fOr.''
1t is probable that an appeal will be
taken and ulti nately the United States
supreme court will be asked to pass on
the question involved.

Are Selling Like Hot Cakes IN Eastern
Cities.
The Cuban junta at New York have
had coined one million handsomely de-
signed silver souvenir dollars for which
the demand is so great from all sections
of the country that the junta are uE-
able o supply it. Cornelius Vanderbilt
and John Jacob Aston of New York
took 800, 900 of these dollars at face
value and deposited them in the trnst
company, as an expression of their
confidence in eventual Cuban irdepend-
ence and sympathy with the cause. In
any event they can only lose the differ
euce between the face value and the
bull: on value.
Several thousand of these dollars
have already been sent to Washington
to supply the demand there, but the de-
mand is so largely on the increase it
looks as if the junta will be obliged to
duplicate the issue.

ThOuSa uds of Women

are drs gging out weary, miserable
existence. because they do not fully
realize what is the mater with them.
They know that they have "female
weakness" but they do not really ap-
precia'e what that means. They do
not know that to this one trouble is
traceable almost all of their bodily ills
They consider it disease by itself,
and If they also have neuralgia, nervous
headache, b.liou>ness, kidney trou-
bles and other things, they see no con-
nectiOn between them and the deraD ge-
ments of a strictly feminine nature
Busy and overwOrked physicians often
treat these things as separate ailments,
when the whole trouble has the one
source. The reproductive organs are
SO important part of the body that
when they are out of order, the whole
system is deranged. Whatever illness
woman has, she will do well to look
there for the cause. A great many
women knowingly neglect themselves,
because they dread the telling of their
troubles to physician and the subse-
quent examination" and local treat
ment." All this is needless for Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been
found to perfectly and permanently re-
store lost strength and promote regu-
larity of functional action.

CRIMINAL LIBEL CHARGED
IN THE COMPLAINT OF THE MINNIE
APOLIs TRUST COMPANY IN
THE CASE.
LIBEL CHARGED
CLOSE OF THE LOGGING CASE.
Arguments Made and Case Given to
the Jury-News of Minne-
aDOlis.

The Hennepin county grand jury
made report shortly before noon yes
terday, and returned eight indictments,
some of them more than ordinarily in
teresting, inasmuch as they are for
criminal libel. There are five bills found
on this charge; three of them are re-
ported to be in the case in which the
Minneapolis Trust company is the COM
plainant-one against William E. Has
kell, manager of the Times, one against
John Blanchard, editorial writer on
the Times, and another against the
corporation.
The particular portions of the Times
publications which it is thought nave
been made the burden Of the 1nd1ct-
ments are those relating to the Pull
man Deal" This inference is drawn
from the fact that all the Pullman
business came up before Judge Russell
and he was called in before the grand
jury, presumably to tell all he knew
about the transaction.
The indictment of a corporation was
made possible by common law, but
holding on the indictment was prob
lematical. In 1895 a law was passed
in Minnesota which made the law
clearer, and it is under this that the
corporation Indictment is returned. 1t
was a neat way of letting out James
Gray, city editor of the Times, who is
a member of the grand jury, and in
bringing the last indictment, it allows
of his not being mentioned by name,
yet the corporation consists OF Messfs.
Haskell, Blanchard and Gray.
The complaint Of the trust company
is based on a number of publications in
the Times, editorially ard in the news
columns, rejecting upon the credit and
good faith of the Minneapolis Trust
company. Criminal libel is made mis-
demeanor by statute, and if conviction
follows, the convicted parties are La
bic to ninety days in the workhouse or

BOTH SIDES BARRED.
New Complication in the Cincinnati
Municipal Middle.

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 23.-Upon
the application Of the four members
of the board of supervisors, who were
removed by Mayor Tafel yesterday,
Judge Murphy, of the court Of com
mon pleas, today issued an injunction
restraining the four appointees from
assuming to exercise the duties of their
Office. The court at the same time
said the proper method to test the
matter was by quo warranto against
the removed members. These mem
bers were barred out Of office today,
but later were admitted When they
demanded the books a refusal was
made by the policeman in charge, VINO
said his orders were from the mayor.
The members talk of charging the
mayor with contempt of court.
~ new complication arose when the
county commissioners in special ses-
sion ordered Sheriff Reichel to take
possession of the building in which is
the office of the board of supervisors,
and GUST the police on the ground that
the premises are county and not city
property. This was done, but the sher-
if has gone further and put every
body out of the supervisors office,
holding the place with his deputies.
Mayor Tafel ordered the police to re-
take possession, but the sheriff barred
the approaches, and has even locked
the court house doors opening into
the Jail yard in which the office of the
board is situated. The sheriff says he
is awaiting an order OF the court de-
termining who are the rightful occu-
pants of the office.
