only forty-four miles of road were In

that year the munificent income Of $46,.

repairs was but $66,945. The only other
great railways then were the Baltimore
and Ohio and the road between Moscow
and st. Petersburg.
From that time on the road grew
slowly enough, like all the other new
roads. But, unlike them, it could not
combine with other local railroads.
Early construction In this country was
almost precisely like the development
OF electric street railways during the
last decade. First were a lot of little
railroads between cities. Then came
connecting links, and finally an amalga-
nation Of many roads into a trunk line.
or this procedure the New York Gen.
trail is the best example. 1t was made
out of chain of ramshackle local
roads of different gauges. The Erie it.

BATTLE ON
Threshing Out Haines'
 Christmas Tragedy

The trial of w. M. Gaffney for burg lary continues in the district court and is developing into keen legal battle. The evidence introduced indicates that the government is trying to establish that GafTney and Albert Backdolt en- tered the house of Ben Fox, au Indian, at Haiues early Christmas morning for the purpose of committing a crime; that Fox. in endeavoring to protect the sauctity of his home, engaged in fight with them and was getting the worst of it: that just as Backdolt was drawing a gun with which to shoot Fox the lat ter shot him; that both men ran from the house at that, Backdolf falling dead when about 60 yards away
 The defense is trying to disprove the ability of any man as severely wounded AS was Backdolf, whose heart was pierced. to run so far before death.
 The jury has been excused until Wednesday morning, when the Gatf- pev trial will be resumed. Monday IS motion day and Tuesday the court will be busy with the election conference.

The Practice of Consulting Scripture

 The practice of consulting Scripture IS a book of fate was generally con. dcmucd by the church. A council at Tannes pronounced against it in 461 A. D. So did one at Agde in JO6 and one at Auxerre in 5S5. Charles the great forbade it in his capituIarics, and so did Pope Gregory II. Never thelcss curiosity as to the future was so strong in mems minds that the GUS tom continued.
 An odd circumstance is that the ,athedral chapter at Orleans in 114O appealed to proGnOstic of this sort in q suDplication addressed by them to Pope Alexander III. against their btsh- op. At bis conservation, when the go5- Del was opened above his head, the finger of the deacon rested upon the words.
