THE RAILROADS.

The corps Of Baltimore & Ohio en-
glneers are now making the survey
from the vicinity of Bailey's Mills,
through Dog Hollow and down the
Captina to Powhatan, for the pro-
posed new route. They will cross the
somerton pike on the Hobbs farm
about four miles south of this place.

necessary at that point. It has already
been found that the route commencing
at the first crossing east Of town Is
more feasible and cheaper than the one
that Is now being surveyed. but the
great trouble Is the heavy grade west
and this the company seems determined
to avoId'lf possible. 1t is believed that
u grade Of not over forty feet to the
mile can be obtained by starting at the
east end OF the trestle near Bailey'.s
Mills and coming UP the valley this
side OF the present track, and tunnellng
under the hill south OF town, commence

ordered preliminary survey and u the.
route is as believed President Collins.
of the Central Ohio, will submit the
plans to the proper authorities. The
survey o. the other side OF the river
has been completed. It leaves the main
line at Littleton and follows Fish creek,
crossing the Ohio near Powhatan,
where bridge will be built. The Cleve-
land Valley road Is TO be continued
from Valley Junction and Will reach the
main line Of the Baltimore & Ohio

no other attention to the conductor.

red in the face, you can't pass no quarter

for more than 20 cents"
The mild man looked up and said: 'I'm
sorry, because you gave me that very quar-
ter yourself last night, and I've been laying
for you since. Well, give it here" He took
the quarter and gave the conductor nickel.
As he took the quarter from the conductor

gave a ehuckle.
''Well, WE'LL" he exclaimed; "here's luck.

He slipped it into his pocket with evidence

THE CHINESE ARE ALARMED

the Chinese Apprehensive.

Victoria, B. c., April 23.-The pres
ence of nearly the whole German fleet
1t Kiao Chou, according to the advices
oy the steamer Athenian, is taken by
the Chinese press to indicate the pos
sibility of extensive operations, and
the Chinese are curiously alarmed.
With desire to remove causes of fric-
ton with Germany,the tsung-i-yamen
has voluntarily dismissed three man
darins, for whose disgrace Baron Won
Heyking, the German representative
at Pekin, has pressed for some time
past.
The Athenian brings advices to the
effect that very serious agitation
against Europeans prevails through
out the whole of China. The minis
tiers of the powers at Pe1in have dis
cussed the question of again asking
their respective governments for de-
tachments of troops from the warships
to guard their legations.

Washington, April 22.-The presi.
dent will, in a few days, issue a proc
lamation giving effect to the new ex.
tradition treaty between the United
States and Mexico, President Diaz tax
ing similar action in Mexico. The Mex.
lean embassy has been advised that
the treaty between the United States
and Mexico, was ratified by the Mexi-
can senate on April IL last, and al
ready has been ratified by the United
States senate, so that it will be in eff.
feet as soon as proclaimed by the pres
idents of the two countries. The text
of the treaty has never been made
known, but besides providing extradi-
ton for all crimes, not political, its
principal feature is in giving the treaty
retroactive effect, so as to cover crimes
committed while no treaty existed.

He was a clerk in a dry goods store, and
her beauty and grace simply turned his head
1t was in a Chicago dry goods store, which
is in its way unique, and the Chicago dry
goods clerk is a creation Indigenous to the
plant he serves. The "booful' lady was
young, albeit she is matron, and as she
stood entranced before remnants of lace and
tried their different effects by spreading
the mesh over her lily-white hand, he, poor
fellow, was entranced too.

astically, as she laid another specimen over

demanded.
Pure white, with dimples, responded the

There was one more question for the shop
per to ask and she asked it.

NO answered the poor fellow, rushing
on to his doom, ''it is heaven-made."

some little time to square the matter up and
sell the lace, and now the too susceptible
clerk is transferred to department where
