THE BEST YEAR YET.
General Freight Traffic on
the Boston and
Maine.

Nearly every railroad in the country
is hard pressed for more freight cars
in order to carry the immense amount
of freight which has gradually in
creased on all railroads. The condition
Is DUE principally to the increase and
steady growth IF all kinds OF traffic.
tFQm all indications the year of 1899
wiz eclipse all former years in the
volume OF business done by the rail-
roads.
AS far as the Boston and Maine sys-
tenn is concerned, 1t can be authorita-
lively stated that this year excels all
otners In general freight traffio. But
there has been no complaint as to scar
city OF cars as yet, and transportation
mas not been hindered in any way. It
must be taken into consideration that
the Boston and Maine system spreads
nearly all over New England, and
that 1t provides plenty of cars for the
Shippers and is always on the alert for
a shortage.
Said an official of the road: 'pThus far
we have been little inconveriienoed by
g car shortage, and have been able to
keep shippers supplied with all the ton
mage required, althoughI will saw that
the car service is taxed to its utmost
capacity, The fact that shippers are

inability to guarantee prompt delivery.

storatVes in order to bring him to con-
seioushess that he might receive the
full sentence of his punishment.
Nicholas agailed himself Of his posi-
ton to take photographs Of these
scenes. This.he was able to do because
he was generally the official lin charge
of the torture chamber. He declares
that of the 100000 exiles supposed to be
upon the island of Saghalien, over one
third have disappeared, and that the
greater proportion of these have been
done to death by the inhuman eruelties
to which they have been subjected.
1t was about this time that Ivaphoe
began to send back to Russia to the
Journals for which he was working. de-
scTdptlons Of what he had witnessed,
and pictures, hut the identity of the
author was kept a secret Then it was
that the government officials began to
put in operation that perfect and mer-
CHESS machinery Of Surveillance, with
the hope Of finding who it was that was
disclosing the secrets Of state. VERY
naturally their search took them to the
prison Of Ale1androvslkii, for they knew
that the traitor, whoever he might be,
was within the walls of the prison.
Kononovitch determined to have IVAN
hoes mail watched, and to intercept
his correspondence. This he did, and
one of the letters that fell into his
possession contained some instructions
from one Of the pihilist societies to
which IvaI1hoe belonged. This was all
that was needed. The governor deter

The woman had never forgotten this,
and she risked her life to show her
gratitude to her henefactor. When
Kononovitch was discussing the arrest
with the officials of the secret service
and was Showing to them the letter
that he had Intercepted. the woman
overheard their conversation and went
secretly TO Ivanhoe and told him What
she had overheard.
There was no time to lose. 1t was
necessary to act and act quickly if
he hoped to get away from the island.
1t was in December, 1896 The noun
tains We're covered with snow, and the
only transportation was by means of
dog sleds. Nicholas determined to try
to get to l.angra, which is In the ex-
IRENE northern part of the island. If
ne could reach this point before the po-
lice, there was q chance for him to
cross the gulf. reach Siberia and work
his way down to Corea, and there take
steamer to Yokohama, from which
point ne hoped to sail for America.
He quickly changed hts 1ailer's, uni
