IN THE RAILROAD WORLD.

The Seaboard Air Line yesterday an
nounced a rate of 3 cents a mile to all
points in Florida effective Dec. 25
This decision is in line with the policy
recently inaugurated by other lines in
Florida, as was announced in the
Morning News some days ago.
Now that the Christmas travel is
over and the railroads are securing
definite figures i'm regard to it, it is
seen that it was the heaviest travel of
its kind that has taken place to and
from Savannah for years Not only
was the passenger business remark
able. but the freight and express bust
ness, likewise, showed a decided in
crease over former years.

economic situation In the country. A
message will soon BE- sent congress.

affairs. This measure calls for the
expenditure os ss.50o.000. TO be distrib-
uted among the sugar growers and cat
tie ralsers. Three millions is TO be
advanced 10 sugar planters at the rate
Of nfty cents for 25 pounds; to be re-

There also is 20 be an increased
tariff on many articles imported now

secured by bonds will be necessary.
President Palma in discussing the
matter said:
I'VE are afraid the senate viii not
act on the reciprocity question at this
session and Cuba needs Immediate
help. There are thousands OF men idle
and the conditions are bad. We must
take some steps to save the sugar In

The loan viii be taken up in two
years. We have worked day and night
In the last month to help the prevail

The Quiet Yet Lively Way In Which
He Bucks the Tiger.
Among all those who go to Saratoga
no II plays a stronger game against
faro bank than John w. Gates of Chi.
cago, who has just figured largely in
the sensational trading in Louisville
and Nashville railroad stock by wrest.
ing the control of the property from
the Belmont party. His wagers are al.
ways large. and, as he plays to give
the house as little percentage as posi-.
BILE, it is said that he has succeeded in
holding his own fairly well. The New
York Herald tells of how a few years
ago a noisy. bustling stranger made
his way to n Of the faro tables in
Saratoga and bought five stacks of
checks at 500 a stack. He placed his
bets OH the layout and expressed the
desire to get quick action. The dealer
showed an inclination to wait upon the
convenience of a quiet gentleman who
frequently consulted a tab and bet
four blue checks on various cards.
This delay went on for some time, to
the undoubted annoyance of the stran.
ger. He made audible remarks about
a ''piker" who would hold the game
when other men desired to win or lose
their money. Finally he pushed a
stack of his checks over to the gentle
man with the tab" saying: Here!
Play those. and don't be SO much afraid
of losing your money"
James Garfield. the proprietor of the
gambling house. who was standing by
and who saw the incident, tapped the
stranger on the shoulder and asked
him to step aside with him. After get
ting out of hearing Of the other players
he said: MY friend. If you cannot car
ry yourself as a gentleman l should
prefer that you play elsewhere. For
your OWL information l will tell you
that the gentleman whom you just in
suited is j. w. Gates. president of the
Illinois Steel company. The checks
that he is playing. four on a card, are
worth $500 each. So you will see that
your 'piker' is betting just twenty
times as much as you are"

BURLINGTON SECTION BOSS KILL.
ED BY TRAIN.
Run DOWN IN The NIGHT
Presence Of Broken jug Near Body
Partially Explains Probable
Cause Of Accident.

A Burlington freight train which
arrived this morning at about 6 O'Clock
bore mute evidence Of the enactment
Of a tragedy at some point between
this city and Sheridan, where the
crew that brought it here took charge
of the train.
Blood and portions of human brains
despatched the pilot Of the locomo.
tive, while pieces of what once had
been a velocipede also adhered to it
The rev said that the apparent &C.
cident had evidently occurred the
other side of the Grow agency, as at
that place they had first noticed the
condition of. the "cowcatcher," and
sent word from there to Sheridan to
inform the train following that some
thing was wrong and to keep a sharp
lookout for the body of a man.
Another train that arrived this fore
noon brought in additional informa-
ton concerning the affair. While pull
ing into Little Horn the crew saw a
man lying along side Of the track
and near him the wreck of a veloci-
pede. The mans head was crushed
and a part of it gone, but enough of
the face remained to make identified
ton possible and the body was recog-
nlzed as that of a section foreman
named Dresser. His watch had stop
ped at 1907, showing that to have
been the time when he was killed.
Although not known positively, the
supposition is that he left Little Horn
yesterday and went either to Wyola
or Parkman, probably the latter place,
to- spend the day. The belief that he
went to Parkmen is strengthened by
the fact that a sack which contained
pieces of a jug was found with the
body. The jug and sack smelled
strongly of whiskey, an article that
is not to be obtained at Wyola. The
supposition is that he had probably
been drinking a little too freely and
did not hear the train approach. Be
ing headed in the same direction he
could not e it and the pilot struck
him before he was aware of his dan
ger.
From the nature of the wounds on
the body it is believed that death was
instantaneous and that the unfortu-
nate man never knew what happend-
ed.

MORE sAPHIREs WILL BE TAKEN
OUT THIS YEAR.
STONES CUT IN EUROPE
About Half Are Returned for Sale In
the United states-The Best
Found in the World.

Helena, June 1.-The New Mines
Saphine syndicate which is operating
the sapphire fields in the vicinity OF
Yogo, in Fergus county, will this
year double the output Of last year.
Last season the syndicate took ont
100000 carets of saphires and about
5000 ounces of stones that were used
for mechanical purposes. The an
proximate value Of the product was
100000.
Recently the mines were visited
by 3. A. Keller of England, one Of
the owners of the property. The OBJ.
ject Of his visit was to see If the out
put could not be increased, and as a
result OF his trip, that will be done.
In talking of the work to be done, and
the result of his visit, Mr.. Keller said:
For the past two weeks we have
been at the mines and have had a
most enjoyable trip. We expec to
double the output this year.
I'VE have secured the services Of
G. I. Durell, formerly of Gilt Edge, as
engineer at the miens and he will,
have charge of everything. We have
purchased the machinery formerly
used by the Eureka mine on Running
Wolf creek, which has been lying idle
for the past nine years. That is, |
mean to say we have purchased it
providing we are satisfied that the
man who has the bill of sale is the
owner of it. AS soon as this is de-
termined we will begin moving it to
the mine, and when once it is installed
we will INCREASE the force to so men.
We have been working about 80 men,
and from this time on we will work
day and night.
We have run a new tunnel under
the old n and have changed the
of working throughout. In
the past we have been turning the
water into the cuts. Now we will
AXE the dirt out of the tunnels and
place it on a dump and from there it
will be washed. We have all the
water necessary and there will be
handled twice as much dirt a day as
in the past. Besides this it will be
much easier to work with no water
in the mines.
"All the stones taken out of the
mines will be sent to Europe to be
cut. About so per cent of them, 1
should say, will be returned to the
United States and placed on the mar
kets here. We could sell them all
here, but as they are the best stones
found in any part of the world we
keep some of them for the European
markets."

CHEAP NEWSPAPER.
A Daily Started In Vienna Sells For
q Farthing.

a Farthing.
The farthing newspaper is at length
an accomplished fact, according to the
Westminster Gazette. One has been
started in Vienna. 1t is called Die
Neue Zeitung and is about two-thirds
the size OF an English halfpenny daily.
There are eight pages, three of which
are devoted to advertisements and five
to news. The newcomer is not a party
organ. but will be generally progressive
In tendency. The proprietor intends to
give in tabloid form all the news print
ed by other journals, together with ar
ticles and generally interesting matter.
There will be a morning edition and
an evening edition, the latter published
at noon. The fact that paper manufac.
turers hold q large interest in the prop
erty solves the most difficult part of
the problem of making a farthing jour
nal pay, for the cost Of paper is, Of
course. II of the most important con-
siderations.
The proprietor, who was formerly
the owner of a leading daily in Buda-
pest, says that he requires q circula-
ton of 10000 daily to cover the bare
cost of publication. This is an enor-
nous circulation in Vienna, where the
most popular paper at present does not
exceed 10000 per day and where there
are several dailies with a circulation Of
less than 10000.
