of tlio dead President Is serving bli
llf Hi year of n ton-year term for robbury
in tlio Michigan City (hid.) peniten-

gerous prisoner having several time;
attempted to oscapo.

which Iinil Tor Its object tho establish-
nicnt of colTeo houses modeled after tho
London plan as n counter attraction to
tho saloon l'lgures wero presented
showing tho lnanclal success of similar

built man with brown comploxlon

Is only thlrty-cven years old and
when ho was elected n deputy In 1879

In lfcyo. out of olio hundred and
eighty-four roads in Now York only
forty paid a dividend. In 1881 Ihoro
wero forty-three; In 18S2 forly-lwo; In
1883 forty; In 1881 forty-fivo; in 1885
forty-lire; In 188G tho llguro will prob-
tibly bo about tho samo as In tho two
preceding years. A remarkable fact is
shown by theso llgurcs; namoly tliat
almost all tho dividend-paying roads
nro leased roads a dividend having
been guaranteed by tho lessor.
Tut: namo "Motion " as applied to
tho Louisville New Albany & Chicago
Itnllroad lias n signlllcanco which is
probably very liltlo understood by thoio
who travel over tho road and by llioso
who havo missed that pleasure Near
tho town of Motion is a small stream
whoso waters arq very swift running.
Tho Indians of thnt section probably
tho Shawnccs named tlio brook by th!
word which means "swift running."
It Is from this word that tho road takes
its nau'.e.
A (meat many members It Is re-
ported from Washington say that Con-
gress will do n good deal of work In
tho way of legislation during this short
josslon. Somo of tho old heads pre-
dict that thero will bo no legislation
to spoak of this winter boyond tlio pas-
sago of tho appropriation bills but
others utiinlly as wlio and old say that
us n matter of fact there is moro chance
for work during a short than long ici-
slox) and they oxpeet It to bo very
nCtltc from now until March I.
It is (aid that Japaueso ingenuity Is
taking u now direction in Iho Imitation
of foreign goods. Tlru lalust develop-
ment is a reproduction of American
(docks and n very remarkable imita-
tion It is tlio namo ulo. being accu-
rately copied. So far as outward ap-
pearance Is concerned Iho spurious
nrllulo Is quite up to tho original but
tliu works aro a failure. Sometimes
llio clock strikes fifteen or so and
nl together its performances aro more
erratic than Is usually considered dji
sircblc.
It was reported on tho Now York
Vrpdnco Kxuhango the other day that
nearly ono hundred prominent dealers
In grain in Now York. Philadelphia
Jlaltimoro and Chicago wero making
nrmugomeuts to foint nn association
for tho purpose of carrying their own
insiirancoon grain in registered wnrc-
hntmti'. Tho now schemo Is bolng op-
posed by tho regular iimurnuco ootupn-
nlos and it is said obstacles will bo
thrown In tho way of tho persons who
are forming the- mutual association. A

Miir. Commissioner of ' Pensions has
Issuod a circular to magistrates. Ho
snytt that Ids attention has bceu called
to tho Increasing number of cases In
nhlch vouchors for quarterly payment
tif pensions havo leun oxecuted pripr
to tho ilnto o! tho vouchers and post-
pald. This practice often results In
jjreae cnibarassnwnt and long delay to
pensioners and hcsldos entails upon tho
l'ension Ofllco it largo amount of un-
necessary correspondence. Tho cir-
cular calls attention to tho fact that
tho practice is in violation of law and
ay it Is tho Intention of tho Commis-
sioner if It bo found ncuossary to
prosecute magistrates who commit tho
offense.
