The papers are singing the praises Of
man Who, twenty-five years ago, was
an office boy but today is head Of the
New York Central and Hudson River
Railway, and telling Of the steps by
which he gradually rose. But they are
not saying a word about the tens Of
thousands OF men who were Office boys
twenty-five years ago and are not rail-
way magnates today. The moral is that
not every Office boy necessarily becomes
a railroad magnate.

Railroad Rumors.

The recent acquisition Of considerable
land in Alexandria county and West
End b. parties believed to be agents OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company Is
still giving birth 10 rumOrs and specula-
tons as to what will be the ultimate~pro-
cedure of that company on the south side
of the Potomac. The purchase of the
Island farm as well as property east of
the Washington-Southern track and
binding ON the Potomac running from
St. Asaph to Four-mile run, together
with a number of acres to the northwest
of Alexandria aggregates considerably
more ground than is required for track
age purposes, and that either capacious
yards or shops or probably both are con-
templated is the belief of many. There
can be no doubt that the Washington
Southern aud Southern Railways are
cramped for space in Alexandra,
and that yard room is now the prln-
cipal desideratum of both companies.
The area north and northeast of Alexan-
dria would be ample for such purposes
and the congestion in this city relieved
to great extent, Some think that GER
tain radical changes in railroading here
abouts will be in evidence in a few years,
or when the MISREPRESENTATION and
Southern Railways shall have been
double-tracked and the new bridge built
across the Potomac. 1t is thought that
the transfer service at the foot of Wilkes
street will then become a thing Of the
past, and that instead of loop being
built around the city, carr will enter
Union street via the W. & o: instead
of the purposed route via Hunting creek
or the Wilkes street tunnel. The size
of some freight cars is too great to
allow them to pass through the tunnel,
aud it is suggested that cars could be
switched from the main track at W. x
o. Junction and placed on Union street
from the north instead OffrOm the south.

that the sin of Consecutive polygamy,"
which was so alarmingly on the increase,
was much more to be dealt with than
the sin ofpolygamy of Utah. '1n France,
where half the men are unmarried and
large percentage of the other half are

is spreading with the rapidity of a forest

The RECENT MAssACRE.-The Ger
man Jewish Relief Society which is
seeking to relieve the Kishenef sufferers
has sent an agent to Kishenef, who re-
ports that 700 houses were destroyed,
that 600 shops we're sacked and that
about 10, 900 persons, of 1000 families,
are homeless as a result of the massacre
of last month. Forty-fye persons were
killed outright during the massacre.
Eighty-four were severely wounded and
500 we're slightly injured. The widows
at Kisheneff have declined to receive
money, fearing fresh attacks during the
Russian Whitsuntide. The numbers OF
persons affected through the loss OF
positions or otherwise is estimated at
20, 900, mostly belonging to the poorer
classes. The rich Jews were not
attacked, and the Berlin Tageblatt
assertsthat they purchased exemption by
paying the governor money. A dispatch
from st. Petersburg says the Chief OF
Police of Kieff has ordered the police
commissaries within his jurisdiction to
institute fresh inquiry into the legal
status of the Jews, and TO forcefully ex-
pei those who have no legal right OF
residence, and who refuse to leave.
