Railroads and the Press.

In a recent address before tn.
General passenger agents of tht
country, George I. Nicholson hac
his to say of the railroad and the
,ress:
at is of the greatest importanc
the railroad that its relations T.,
the press should be cordial. Not b.
cause the road persistently an,
naliciously does things which i
ought not to do and leaves undon,
things which it ought to do-fol
which it deserves public exposur'
and criticism-but because roat
and press are allies in the work o
civilization. Their interests ar
mutual. The one supplements tn
other. Their cooperation is essen
tial to the welfare of each. Botl
FINANCIALLY interested in building n
the community, In increasing i'm
migration, in increasing trade. To
cether, they accomplish wonders. !
they clash, the community suffer
with them"

EARLY ENGLISH HANDWRITING
Interesting Paper Read Before a
London BfbIioeraphicaI Society.
(From the London News)


At meeting of the photographed So
ciety, in Hanover Square the other even
ing. Sir e. NJ Thompson read paper on
English Handwriting" At the outset the
lecturer stated that he proposed to deal
with handwriting from the eighth to the
fourteenth centuries, confning himself
chiefly to the finer types which were in ex-
istence. Some specimens OF the Irish hand
in the seventh century were thrown upon
the screen, and the lecturer traced in them
TesembIances with the Roman hand then
prevalent on the Continent, upon which Ii
was probably founded. The famous school
at Lindisfarn turned out some grand
manuscripts, examples of which were in
the British Museum and at Durham. The
northern style of handwriting spread to
Canterbury, where the early manuscripts
were clearly initiative. The cursive or
pointed hand soon spread in England, and
fine example of IL was seen in Bede's
Ecclesiastical History" now at Cam
bridge. Passing to the tenth century, they
found the cursive hand of the Anglo-Saxon
took q more rounded form. The ornamen-
tation Of that period was probably imi-
tated from the Continent, and interesting
examples OF initial letters and borders
were thrown on the screen, together with
q very curious drawing of st Michael and
the Dragon, In the Cotton Library These
crude drawings really founded the Anglo
Saxon school Of ornamentation. In the
Bodleian Library were manuscripts which
were OF q mixed character, showing the
struggles between the Roman and Anglo
Saxon style. With the Conquest the
Anglo Saxon characteristic practically dis
appeared, and manuscripts became mix
tures OF French, English and the Low
Countries. A page OF "Domesday Book

Reports From COnsulx Sent to the
District Commissioners.
Thomas w. Cridler, Third Assistant Sec
tary of State, has transmitted to the Dis
trict Commissioners copies of dispatches
from American Consuls at Dublin, Ireland,
and st. Petersburg, reporting on the sub
ject of the disposition of the bodies of
dead animals. The despatch from w, r.
Holloway, Consul General at st. Peters,
burg, states that such carcasses are re-
moved to bone factory in the city where
their bones are converted into ferti izing
materials, SOAP and glue.
Joshua Wilbour, Consul at Dublin, re-
ports that in that city carcasses found ly
ing in the streets or roadways are regard
ed as nuisance and removed to the clean
ing department and buried or otherwise
disposed of by the. city. II the carcasses
are diseased they are placed in destruc-
tor, subjected to high temperature of
"knacker' who has contract with the
city government. When an animal is
found in private property the owner must
remove it. If the bodies are healthy and
fit for animal food they are sold by the
"knacker' as catmeat in, London and else
where. If unfit for food, after being boiled
down they are made INTO manure by the
addition of acids. In the country diseased
animals must be buried by the local au-
thorities under not less than six feet OF
earth with a layer of at least one foot of
lime both above and beneath the carcass.

THEIR AUTHORITY DEFINED.
Important Decision Affecting Agents
of the Humnne Society.


The ruling of Justice of the Peace Sam
uel c. Mills, in the case of Charles S. N.Y.
ers against the Humane Society of the
District OF Columbia, is one of great inter-
est to the public generally, especially the
owners of draft animals. In his opinion
he decides that the officers of the Humane
Society have no right under the law, to
seize the animals or vehicles of any person,
for alleged cruelty to animals, except when
the driver is placed under arrest, and the
neglect to take charge of the animals
would result in their abandonment.
The suit in which Justice Mills an
nounced this decision, grew out of the
seizure Of some horses belonging to Charles
E. Myer, about two weeks ago, by Agent
Reiplinger, OF the Humane Society. The
animals We're taken to the police station
and the drivers released. The owner was
notified Of the seizure of his animals and
of the necessity of furnishing SIS collateral
for his appearance to answer the charge
of cruelty to animals in the Police Court.
This Myers refused to do, and through
his attorneys, Stewart & Keane institut-
ed proceeding for the recovery of his ami
mails before Justice Mills, and at the same
time a suit for damages against the HUI
name Society for $500, for the alleged
wrongful seizure of his animals. The So
ciety was represented by Attorney James
L. Pugh.

showed quite different caligraphic char
acter from the manuscripts which preceded
It, The ornamentation of the thirteenth
century was richer and fuller, though NOT
SO broad and struggling as that of the
twelfth century. The same characteristics
was apparent in the handwriting of the ne
riod, which became smaller and neater. II
was curious to note that, although the
Angio-Saxon writing ceased to exist at the
time OF the Norman Conquest, certain ma
1--WE letters remained, as was seen in
manuscripts In the BodIeian. The four-
ieenth century showed decadence In the
literary hand, which gradually merged
INTO the rounder hand of the charters of
the period There was an affinity, thew
would note, between the style of writing
OF the fourteenth century and the printine
OF Caxton, which, Of course, could be easily
read at that time
In the discussion that followed stress
was laid on the fact that Ireland was our
teacher In handwriting, and a hone was
expressed that in a subsequent lecture Sir
Edward Thompson would show them the
development of the initial letter.

GOOD DEALS IN LEATHER
Traders Buying the Staple on an
Extensive Scale.
Iron and Steel Stocks Also Secure
Much. Attention I'm Wall Street.
Few Changes of Prices In the Rail-
way List-SuEar Drops Under Pres
sure-A Firm Market Undertone.

New York, Aug. 11.-Activity and inn
proyement in the industrial shares consti-
tuted the salient features Of today's early
stock market. The movement in the leath-
er shares was renewed on an extensive ba-
sis, further heavy buying being encouraged
by the plan to fund accumulated dividends
on the preferred. The common changed
hands In large blocks, the ticker reporting
numerous sales of ], 900 to 1000 shares.
The preferred was freely dealt in but was
not as active as the common, which rose
IL. The gain in preferred was about a
point The purchases again had a very
substantial look.
The iron and steel stocks engaged a
good share of attention and ranked next
to Leather. Federal Steel and Colorado
Fuel and Iron moved up fractionally, but
Tennessee Coal and Iron, Steel and Wire,
Steel Hoops and Hooking Coal and Iron
advanced / to 2.
Other members of the group were firm,
except for Sugar and American Tobacco
Peoples Gas sold ex-dividend, and regain
ed part of the dividend. Continental To-
bacco improved slightly and Anaconda
rose nearly a point, although it did not
hold all of the advance. Sugar dropped
1-S. and was under pressure.
The railway list presented very slim
array of changes, with an exceedingly
moderate business. Lackawanna moved
up point, but in all other cases the fuc-
tuations were embraced within Is to 1-2.
The opening was firm, but the later trad
Ing was attended with reaction. Large
gains for the first week of August failed
to arouse activity in the leading shares.
After the first hour the whole market re-
ceded little from the best on profit TAX
ink, but the undertone continued firm.

A QUEER RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Cars Jump From Train and Dam.
age Only Themselves.

(From the New Orleans Times -Democrat)
Some queer things happen in rail-
roading,' said Delegate Bullock, of
Lodge No. 1S1, after the evening
adjournment of the trainmen's con-
vention the other day; queer things
that go dead contrary to all known rules.
/ remember an incident of that kind that
occurred at place called Mud Run Curve
on the Central Railroad of New Jersey, or
Jersey Central to be short. The track
there swings around a big spur OF the
mountains. On one side they go steep up,
and on the other side steep down, like
a book held slantwise, and below, in the
valley, is the Lehigh River The night
I'm thinking about we were going over the
line with long freight. 1t was dark as
PITCH and storming, with every now and
then a big clap of thunder but We were
behind time and travelling at pretty good
stiff gait. When We took the Mud Run
Curve eight fiatcars, loaded with lump
coal, all of sudden jumped the track.
Now, naturally. they ought TO have
torn up things, ditched the rest of the
train and raised Cain generally; but they
didn't. They just quietly hoped out near
the middle and disappeared in space with
out budging the rails in inch. If the rear
brakeman hadn't happened to be coming
forward as the time We would have simply
passed on in two pieces. AS it was, he
saw a big hole in the train and was so as
tonished he came hear falling Off He
couldn't Imagine what had become of those
eight cars, but all the same he rushed TO
the brakes, set 'em and gave the signal to
STOP When We came to investigate all We
found was lot of kindling wood and coal
lying on the bank Of the river. What
made the eight cars jump out don't know.
The engineers said is was centrifugal at
0fhars said Il. yroc p,,ra cpScad-
ness. 1t was the first and only time I
ever knew such thing to happen without
ripping the very daylights out Of the
track
