Railroads Suffer.

Railroads in the east. west and
northwest last week suffered as they
have never before in their history
from extreme cold and bad snow
storms, and in consequence 1t was
difficult for them to operate freely and
economically.
The physical condition Of the en-
gines was reduced 40 to so per cent
by the zero weather, and freight con.
gestion prevailed at many points. IN
the extreme northwest freight trains
had to be temporarily abandoned.
Cars are too few in sections where
the largest amount Of corn is coming
from, and the movement vol restrict
ed.
Notwithstanding these drawbacks
both the western and eastern roads
did a fairly good business. Grail
brought to Chicago by the western
roads amounted TO 3.520,o00 bushels
a decrease Of 1.062,0O0 bushels from
the previous week, and Of 2,4O9,OO'
bushels from last year. The principa
decrease was In corn.

The first annual ball OF the railroad
men of Deming took place last Friday
evening and was a grand success in
every way, says the Deming Graphic.
This being their first effort, the boys
spared no pains in making IT as good
as possible, and It equaled their most
sanguine expectations. As the people
recognized the merit Of the under
taking, and in view Of the fact that
the Yellow Kids were to receive the
proceeds after the expenses we're paid,
everybody patronized them and the
amount turned over to the ball team
was a handsome one, and will help
the Kids to meet the expenses OF the
season in good shape.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.
Compromise Is Reached and Her

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 22.-Out of a

KILLS TWO MEN.
Train Strikes Wagon Loaded with
Dynamite and Terrific Ex-
plosion Follows.

Cumberland, Nd, Sept. 24.-Fast
freight No. "a, on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, struck a wagon loaded with
$50 pounds of dynamite at the crossing
at North Branch, w. Va, four miles
east Of here. Friday afternoon. Two
persons were killed and nine were in
jured, three of them seriously. James
Laing, who drove the wagon, escaped
with only trivial injury, as did the two
horses. although the latter were blown
so yards into field. According to eye
witnesses, Laing, hearing the train, be-
came terrified and stopped on hetrack.
The wagon was within three feet of
clearing it when the engine struck the
rear end, carrying it so feet before the
explosion. Laing deserted the wagon
and ran down from the track into a
Sitch. He was knocked down and rem
dered unconscious for time, but the
force of the explosion passed over him.
The engine was overturned and stripped
and seven cars following, loaded with
high-grade merchandise, were broken,
several being demolished. The tracks
we're thrown out of the bed and twisted
serpentine, while rails were snapped like
pipe-stems. Engineer Pike was held
under iron scraps on top of the boiler
while being slowly cooked to death. It
required four men to extricate him.

KING PETER CROWNED.
No Hostile Demonstration Attends
Coronation of the Servian
Ruler.

Belgrade, Servia, Sept 22.-Peter
Karageorgevitch was crowned king
of Servia Wednesday. There were no
hostile demonstrations and no attempt
to carry out the numerous threats
against the new kings life. In the SOL
emn ritual of the Greek church and in
the elaborate state procession which
preceded and followed the coronation
the tragedy of Servia's previous ruler
found on echo. Amid the thunder of
the saluting guns from the royal pal
ace and the garrison King Alexander's
murder was at least outwardly forgot
ten. The services took place at the
cathedral and lasted for three hours.
Wearing the crown on his head and
fully robed, the king left the cathedral,
remounted his horse and rode through
the crowded streets to the palace.
There, in the grand festal hall, King
Peter received the congratulations of
the diplomatic corps and others, as
cended the royal throne and once more
took the scepter and orb in his hands

TRADE REVIEW.
Many Helpful Features Contribute
to Continued Expansion
Of Business.

New York, Sept. PAR. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade expands steadily as confidence
increases with the harvesting of the
crops, and mercantile collections are
less tardily met Lower temperature
stimulates the demand for fall and win
ter wearing apparel. and there Isl more
disposition to prepare for the future
rather than to confine operations within
the limit of immediate requirements.
This improvement is extending to all
departments of manufacture, and in the
aggregate there is less idle machinery
than at any recent date. Settlements of
labor disputes have helped in the devel-
opment of this favorable condition.
Failures this week aggregated 225
in the United States, against 232 last
year, and 80 in Canada, compared with
10 a year ago."
Bradstreet's says: "Cool weather,
while retarding or injuring some late
crops, has been stimulating to fall
trade, both wholesale and retail, which
shows an apparent increase in volume
over a year ago. The improvement is
most marked in dry goods, clothing.
groceries, shoes and hardware. Distrib-
utive trade is better in the northwest,
portions of the east, and very generally
throughout the south The central west
also shows a continuance of the i'm
provement noted last week, and wide
spread moderate betterment in collec-
lions is feature deserving special men
ton. A disposition is shown on the part
of farmers to hold their products for bet
ter prices, tbs being true in many sec
tons, notably the south and the north
west The labor situation is rather quiet
on the whole, although some notably
large strikes continue unsettled"

FAIRBANKS ACCEPTS.
Synopsis of Republican Vice Prssi-
Dental Candidates Letter Ac-
cepting the Honor.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 22.-Sen-
ator Fairbanks letter of acceptance
has been given to the public through
Hon. Elihu Root, chairman Of the noti-
fication committee. In it the republic
can vice presidential nominee sticks
closely to treatment of the various
planks of the republican platform, and
outlines the policies of the party in the
future by what it has done in the past
seven years. In commenting upon the
work of the state department during
that time, he refers to the conclusion
of 30 different treaties, among which
he mentions the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, superseding the Clayton-Bul-
wer convention; the Panama canal
treaty; the trade convention with Chi
ma and Cuba, and the Alaskan boun-
Diary treaty. These treaties, he be-
lieves, point to the efficiency of repub-
lican diplomacy.
Senator Fairbanks finds but one is
sue which the democrats have raised.
That is the tariff He does not believe
the voters of the country, either the
employing classes or the employees.
wish to cut the tariff schedules to such
an extent as to bring foreign labor in
to competition with American labor
He says the republican party, as the
fnaugurators of the protective system
under which America has expanded
industrially and commercially, is the
only party to be entrusted with the
regulation Of this important subject.
Other planks which he deals with at
considerable length are those relating
to the maintenance of the gold stan
dard; the regulation of trusts and the
enforcement of the Sherman antitrust
law, and the interstate commerce laws,
charging the democratic party with
having done nothing towards safe
guarding legitimate interests in these
directions. He refutes the charge of
extravaganza in government expendi-
lures; applauds the presidents course
in dealing with the instruction in
Panama and in the government of the
Philippines.
The complete letter is a document OF
some 1000 words.

little work of inspection has pre-

the possibilities of tree planting there
are relatively unknown. The country
is high and level for the most part,
though broken here and there by
canyons and small streams. There is
less planted timber than in Nebraska.
The plantations are usually the work
