The Terrible Coclsatrlce.

The explanation OF the origin Of that
remarkable organism, the cockatrlce,
leaves nothing to be desired as regards
accuracy OF detail. We are told that
"when the cock Is past seven years OLD
an egg grows within him, whereat he
greatly wonders" We can well imag.
Inc the dismay OF any we'll conducted
masculine bird of that age on finding
himself In such a compromising pre-
dicament, but how did he communi.
cate his feelings to the historian? That
the embryonic cockatrlce had some
mysterious power Of self advertise
ment Is evident, for we hear further
that 'a toad prlvily watches him and
examines the nest every day to see IL
the egg be yet laid. When the toad
fnds the egg he rejolces much and at
length hatches 1t, bringing forth an an
imal with the head, neck and breast of

FURTHER EJECTMENT OF PAS
sENGERs EXPECTED TODAY.

NEW YORK, August 14.-The difficulty
between the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany and it's patrons, which arises over the
efforts of the company to collect double
fare from New York to Coney Island, was
continued today. Application was made
to District Attorney Clarke in Brooklyn
for several warrants for the arrest of en-
ployes of the Rapid Transit Company on
charges of assaulting passengers in eject
ing them from the cars after they refused
to pay a second fare.
The general manager of the company said
today that If he was unable to collect the
double fares he would suspend traffic on all
the surface lines to Coney Island.
Police Inspector Cross, who last night
asked passenger II he was not going
to pay his fare, was today admonished by
a deputy police commissioner for using his
authority to help collect fares, and plans
were made to station police under the
charge of captains all along the lines where
the employees of the company halt the cars
to eject passengers A resumption of the
ejectments and fights was expected when
the rush to Coney Island begins this after

SAN FRANCISCO, Cai. August 1.-THE
Examiner says today that j. c. Stubbs, the
traffic director of the Hartman system In
Chicago, has accepted an offer of $4,000 a
year from an English railroad corporation
to go to London and handle the company's
American travel. William Sproule II is said.
will be appointed in his place as traffic al
rector of the Hartman system at a salary
of $4,000 year. Mr.. Hartman II Is said
has insisted that Mr.. Stubbs shall remain
with him until the end of the year, to which
the English railroad company has con-
sented.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, August 14.-"As far as is
known here" said Mr.. Stubbs' chief clerk
In Chicago, 1.-The report Is not true. II ne
gotiations had been under way 1t is likely
that we should have known of them here :"
Mr.. Stubbs is in New York.
NEW YORK, August 14-J c. Stubbs
said today that there was no truth in the
report that he is going to leave the Harri-
man system to take up railroad work in
London. Mr.. Stubs said he was going to
stay with the Hartman system until he
was kicked out
He said also that so far as he knew Mr..
Sproule is not going to succeed him as traf-
fic director

and It is expected that the work prelim-
mary to actual grading and construction
next spring, will begin this fall.
1t is expected that the road will require
three years to construct. 1t is contemplated
to operate it with e ecric locomotives from
the beginning.
1t will be known as the New York Pitts
burg and Chicago air line, and Will be sixty
five miles shorter to New York than the
Pennsylvania and one hundred and eight
miles shorter than the shortest line be-
tween New York and Chicago.
The new Keystone ar line will traverse
the important bituminous coal fields of Gen.
trail Pennsylvania, now controlled by the
Pennsylvania railroad, and will also pierce
the anthracite region throughout it's length.
The Shortest Line.
1t will not only be the shortest line
through Pennsylvania. but 1t VIII cross the
summit of the Allegheny mountains 400 feet
lower than the Pennsylvania and will have
very easy curves and remarkably low
grades for mountain line.
Mr.. Ramsey confirms the above In a tele-
gram to the Pittsburg Dispatch. The tele-
gram says the information is correct The
cost of the line between Pittsburg and New
York. Mr.. Ramsey says, is estimated to be
between $15,0O0.OO0 and 100000, eco all or
which has been pledged, the bulk of II by
foreign capitalists.
The merger papers to be filed this week
will provide for the consolidation of the In
diana, Clearfeld and Eastern; the Allen
town, Tamaqua and Ashland. and the
Brush Greek and Crows Run railroad.
