Boston, Mass, April 19.--The wool
market continues very dull. and the
actual business has been the least OF
any week yet reported. The fact of the
matter is that, with war looking very
probable, there is less disposition on
the part Of manufacturers to buy wool
than since the trouble first began.
Dealers as a rule are accepting the
situation as it is, and where they see
no one desiring to buy wool they are
not trying to force business, although
q buyer with cash could probably get
concessions from present prices quoted
on nearly all kinds of domestic wool.

FOUND A RAILWAY BRIDGE.
Taxable Territory Valued at $751; A.
ded 10 Gibson County.

The officials OF Gibson county
have made discovery which will
increase the county's revenue, but
decrease that of the p. ID. & +.
A party headed by the surveyor
found the south county line should
include Edgewater park, together
with the big P. d. e. +. railroad
bridge which crosses the Wabash
near that place. In some manner
the railroad company has escaped
paying taxes on this bridge either
in Gibson or any other county. A
careful survey places this structure
in Gibson county territory and
hence is subject to Gibson comfy
taxation. The county line in
cludes the whole Of Edgewater park
and all the buildings therein with
one exception. The line in this
exception runs through one Of the
buildings and it is case Of half
and-half. 1t is estimated that the
discovery of this valuable bit Of
taxable but untaxed property adds
$25, 900 to the value Of taxable
property Of the county. The back
taxes on this bridge and PARK will
amount to considerable sum and
an effort may be made to recover
the amount.-Ev. Courier.

THE USE OF ELECTRICITY.
Motive Power on q Road Previously
Operated by Steam.

A recent example Of the use Of
electricity as the motive power on q
road previously operated by loco
motives is the railway which runs
from Tonawanda to Lockport, N.
Y. The road is operated by the
Buffalo and Lockport Railway COM
pany, and serves as a feeder to the
Erie railroad.
The company was organized in
April, 1898, and Immediately pur-
chased about five and one-half miles
of single track running through
Lockport, and leased for ninety
nine years the Lockport branch Of
the Erie railroad, consisting of thir-
teen and one-half miles Of single
track from Lockport to North Tona-
wanda. In addition, seven and
one half miles of single track be-
tween Buffalo and North Tonawanda
and one mile in the city of Buffolo
were purchased. In this way twen-
ty-nine miles of track were acquired,
all of which were equipped for
electric traction.
This work involved the erection
Of poles, overhead trolley, feeders,
and the bonding Of rails, and was
begun May II, 1898. On Aug. IA,
almost exactly three months later,
trains were in operation by electric
ity. Both passenger and freight
service is given, the former by run
ming separate electric cars on half
hour headway.
The freight service is handled by
two electric locomotives. There
are ten electric motor cars, mount
ed upon eight wheels, using two
"Perfect" trucks.
These are Of two kinds, q COM
bination passenger and smoker,
forty-two feet long over buffers and
thirty-one feet long between ends,
with four and one-half foot plat
forms, and a combination passenger
and baggage car with body length
of thirty-one feet eight inches and
four and one-half foot platforms.
The motor equipment consists Of
four G. E.-57 motors Cos horse
power per car) and two B.S series
parallel controllers. The total
weight of a loaded car is from twen-
ty to twenty-five tons.

A novel plan for elevatine
Georgia morals has been formulated
by well-known citizen Of Atlanta.
He proposes that each county shall
decide by vote on January OF
each year who the worst man in the
county is, and that the man receiv.
ing the highest number Of votes
shall, on the ensuing February be
hanged. 1t is claimed for the plan
that it would induce bad men TO
emigrate, and that the "complimen.
Itary vote" received by those who
had just begun to he bad, but were
not generally recognized as such,
would tend to create a desire with
in them to be enrolled among the

w. C.. U. COLUMN
CONDUCTED BY MRS. NJ. l.. HOBBS


At the annual meeting of the New
England branch of the church TEN
perance society, Bishop Neely, OF
Portland, Me-. made an address IN
which the papers report he stated
that in Maine there is no town SO
small that it could not furnish a
drink OF poor whisky to those who
apply for it; also; that there was
as much liquor drank in Maine as
ever. To this statement Gen. Neal
Dow very ftting!y replied in the
following letter to the editor OF the
Temperance Advocate
81 see that Bishop Neely is out
again as to the liquor traffic in
Maine. On a former occasion he
made a strong point against the
Maine law that it caused the liquor
to be bad.
In reply to that said it would
be an impertinence in me to doubt
lanythirg that he might say In re-
lation to the quality of the drink.
| am no Judge of that matter, as
never take it. He now says that IN
Maine there is no town so small
that it could not furnish drink OF
poor whisky to those who apply for
lit. The bishop says that positively
as if personally knowing the tect ;
a failure to get a good drink when
he wants il is a vexation to those
who are accustomed to it.
The bishop some time ago called
at my house to introduce a friend
from the west who wanted to know
about the results of the law. After
presenting his friend he went away
/ said to his friend: "How long
have you been in town." "a
week." he replied. "Then you
have been here long enough to have
some opinion about the law; what
do you think of it?" ~ think 1t Is
a failure" "Where are you stop
ping?" "At the Falmouth hotel.
I"Do they sell liquor thereY
"No." "Have you tried to obtair
lit there?" eyes, tried hard tC
obtain some but could not succeed.
I"Have you tried at other places?
I"Yes, at many other placesY
"Did you succeed anywhere in OBJ
tanning liquor?" "No, | could moi
find any,"
"Then it seems you have beer
here a week, and have in vain tried
your best to obtain a drink; now
why do you think the law a fail
ure?" Zone morning early | wa:
in the park and saw there mar
living on the grass, drunk, with 9
bottle at his side. 1t is for thai
reason consider the law failure
"Do you know whether that mar
cane from Boston by the early
steamer bringing his drink with
him, or that he found it in Portland
where you could find none after
hunting week for it?" "No, ! dC
not know that, but | think the law
failure"
opened the door for him with {
l"Good morning." instead o
|"What a fool you He."
hope our bishop will take i
l.
kindly in my advising him not t.
talk so much about the failure o
the Maine law and the bad liquo
there is here as the result of it
People talk about him and it i'm
pertinently. NEAL Dow.

feelings, ana when 4
would lie down at night and see the
thick fog of miasma settle over my
tent would wonder what instant !
would inhale the dreadful poison
germs. Day after day | would
arise early in the morning and
trudge over to the division hospital,
only to see new faces and TO find
that the sick were getting worse all
Of the time, and it made my heart
sick to think thet | could not offer
them single consolation to cheer
the sick.
81 have seen hies fill the mouths
of men at tire point of death, be-
cause there was no one to brush
them away. In some cases a ply
sician had as many as forty patients.
When we left Chicamauga for
Knoxville we had about 100 sick
men in our regiment. We went to
division headquarters and asked to
be furnished ambulances. They
had ambulances, but they refused
to furnish any. They did not say,
we cannot furnish you all you
need, but we will furnish you
what we can,' but they abso-
lutely refused to furnish one, al
though some were not being used.
HAD TO PAY THE BILLS.
"The result was we had to scour
the country for conveyanccs and a
few Of us went down into our pock-
cts and paid the bill. You see
people don't have to exaggerate-
the truth is bad enough. Many
soldiers died in camp as result oi
a lack Of medical attention and the
incompetence of medical officers.
There is no doubt of it.
"When we arrived at Knoxville
was accosted by DR.. Herself, a di-
vision surgeon and one Of the few
good medical officers, thus: 'Wt
are in Gods country now. Chicka'
mauga was hell He did moi
speak irreverently when he said
this. Another officer said: From
Chicamauga to Knoxville is lik,
going from hell to paradise.
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN Done.
"At Knoxville it was demonstrat
ed what could be done for the sol
diers under proper management
There we had an abundance of goot
water. Our hospital was an ole
turnverein. Every man had a CO
and the tents were all fioored. Dis
infectants were used to keep ou
disease. Not complaint has evel
been heard about Knoxville, which
shows that not the men, but the
conditions, were to blame at Camp
Thomas. AT Knoxville the medi-
cal service was quite different from
Chickamauga. 1t became sudden
ly cold one night and one surgeon
went down to Knoxville, bought
and paid for 100 blankets, and af
terward drew on the Red Cross fol
the amount.
"Not so at Camp Thomas. Ever
the best physicians are noted TO
their professional jealousy, bu'
