All Railway Records Broken In 1910
1911,interstate Commerce
Commission Says
LAST YEAR

American railways carried more
ed June 80, 1911, than in any single
previous years, but considerably less
freight than was carried during the
previous year.
These facts were developed in pre-
liminary abstract report of the Inter.
state Commerce Commission which
has been made public.
The number of passengers carried
was 997409,882, an increase over the
previous year of 25,726,6S3. The aver
age receipts per mile for each ton
hauled was a fraction over three-quar.
tiers of cent.
During the year 246,124.4 miles OF
line We're operated. the total mileage
of all tracks being 362.71O.1S miles
The roads employed 81 1927 locomo
tives and 2,359,335 cars, considera
BILE increase in equipment.
The total number of persons on the
pay rolls of the steam roads was L.
$50, 500, a decrease of 29,611 as com
pared with the previous year.
The par value of the amount of rail
way capital was $19,20S, 935.0S1. OF
the total capital stock outstanding

aggregate amount of dividends de
clared during the year was s460,195,

Unconscious 49 Hours

Toxic, Japan, July 2s.-Emperor
Mutsuhito died today at 12,43, He had
been unconscious for fortyeigth hours
and his death was not unexpected.
When the end came he was surround
ed by the family attending physicians
and a few members of the Royal fam
lily.
All OF the bulletins during the past
few days were to the effect that the
end was not far OFF. He suffered fire.
quent relapses. and during his last
few days his life was prolonged by in
jecting stimulants, Late last night
his temperature rose from 100 to 1928,
which, with the quickened heart ac-
ton and shallow breathing, indicated
that the Emperor could not long with
stand the calls upon his strength.
The attending physicians noticing
his changed condition summoned the
family. and all gathered around the
bedside to await the end, which they
knew could not be far distant. He
sank rapidly, and at 12.43 the Emperor
Rresthed his last.
The news of his death spread rapid
ly, and the city was soon in mourning.

parts of the world are arriving at the

RINER STORE AT
cUMso ROBBED
Proprietor Comes to Town and Has
Two Youths Arrested Who Prove
to Be the Thieves.

The general store of ]. Fl. Riner &
Co., at Cumbo, northwest of this city,
was broken into Monday night and
quantity of merchandise stolen, such
as two or three pairs Of shoes, some
silk and cotton sox, three or four raZ-
ors, three cheap watches, a lot of Gig
arettes, etc The money drawer was
also broken open but no money was
in it, Entrance to the store was gain
ed through a back window. The
thieves left no clue.
Tuesday evening about O'Clock
Mr.. c. s. Payne, junior member Of the
firm of Riner K Co, came to town, ac-
companied by his sisterin-lay AS
they were driving along by the Burke
street bridge Mr.. Payne saw two
young fellows whom he recognized as
having been in his store looking
around Monday morning; and also OBJ
serving that both were wearing new
shoes, Mr.. Payne remarked to the lady
. with him that he believed the two
young men were the very fellows who
robbed his store, but who, at that time
evidently did not recognize him. He
drove on up Burke street nearly to
Queen where he met officer Seibert
and requested him to arrest the two
fellows on suspicion, they having by
this time turned down Spring street
/ towards Martin, after noticing Mr.
! Payne stop and talk to the officer
| The policeman called Officer Riddle to
his aid and together they went around
and arrested the two suspicious char
acters not far from the B. & O depot
renee Shipper, of 492 East Burke
street their mother residing some
/ where about Cherry Run.
| When the Shipper boys were search
ed at police headquarters some of the
booty taken from the Riner store was
found on them, among the articles be-
/ ing a watch, some cheap jewelry, etc,
/ besides the brand new shoes they had
on, all of which Mr.. Payne identified.
They also Wore silk soX but he could
not identify them as having been stol-
en- from his store, nor the half dozen
/ VI ilOlC pdChn VI tlBdl CUES W III
which they were supplied. An old re-
volyer was also taken from the peck
ct of one of the Shipper brothers.
They were locked up.
A search warrant was sworn out and
| Officers Seibert and Mcdonald went
over to the house where the Shipper
boys stay to search for the other stuff
stolen from the Riner store, but they
found nothing there. Later in the even
ing the Shippers were taken to Jail to
await hearing before Justice Thomp-
son.
1t is said these same fellows were
convicted some months ago for rob-
bling a store at the Hancock station
and only recently were released from
Jail at Berkeley Springs.
