ONE THOUSAND A MONTH.
And Travelling Expenses Paid Canal
Commissioner.

Washington.-The secretary Of
state has supplied Senator Morgan,
chairman of the senate committee on
interocenic canals, a statement Of
the expenditures made on account
of the isthmian canal commission. 1t
shows that each member of the COM
mission has been allowed compensa-
ton at the rate of 81, 900 a month,
with travelling expenses added.
These salaries were fixed in 1899,
when the commission was created at
the suggestion of the president. In
the cases of Col. Peter G.. Haines
and Lieut.. Col. o. II. Ernst of the
army, the allowance was equal to
the difference beween- their regular
salaries and 81, 900. Under this ar
rangement the aggregate paid to
the nine commissioners as salaries up
to February 28. 1902, amounted to
1926, ,289. The travelling expenses
of the commi ssioners at that tine
had average about 81, 800 each.

Cheap Meat Failed to Arrive.

1t has just developed that two
slick negroes swindled a number Of
plantation darkies near Filters
Landing during the Roosevelt hunt
at Smede's Station. The two ne
groes went about among the igno-
rant darkies and told them that
Roosevelt's real object in visiting
the South was to see if the negroes
were not being charged too much
for their meat. The two negroes
then took orders for a number of
darkies, cutting the price on meat
to ridiculous figure, and demanded
an advance payment, and in the
transaction raised something over
81, 900 and skipped out. The willy
rascals warned the negroes not to
tell the white folks about their visit,
as it would prevent their getting
the cheap meat.

DISPLAYED FALSE SIGNALS.
Boys Mistake Responsible for Terri
bic Wreck.

Cumberland, Md.-Througn the
interference of messenger boy a
wreck was caused in which four en-
ployees of the Baltimore road were
killed and three injured. Three
of the men killed lived in Baltimore
and the fourth was a resident OF
Cumberland.
TIE wreck was due to the dis
playing of false signal giving a
clear track for east bound passenger
train No. 10, when In the next block
ahead was standing on the track a
caboose and two engines. The pas
senger train was drawn bytwo en-
gines and they crashed through the
caboose and engines which ebstruct-
ed the track. Luckily the train had
not attained a full speed and was
only moving at the rate OF about 20
miles an hour when the collision
came. The postal car OF the passen-
ger train was derailed. but the pas
senger coaches did not leave the
track and the occupants escaped in
jury.
1t was charged that messenger
boy named Turner, who was in the
block tower when No. 10 came
aloug, hearing the engineer whistle
for clear tracks. pulled lever Civ
ing him a clear signal. The opera
tor had, it is explained, previously
set the signal at danger. When his
attention being devoted to comnu-
nication with the succeeding block
station the boy, it is alleged, pulled
the lever that gave the train the
signal that it had q clear track
ahead and the operator was not
aware of what was done until the
crash came.
