THE BROWJJ-WESNF.fi TRAGEDY.

Former Oiti-

The Two Men As Been By a ceil of Lebanon. Charles E. Wilson, until recently a citizen of Lebanon, and now tho editor of the Lafayette Courier, writes as follows concerning the awful tragedy which oconrred at Danville last Saturday:

To those who have intimately known C. S. Weenor, the news of his violent death will not oome as a surprise, for some such tragedy has long been ex peoted, but no one would ever for a moment suspected that his slayer would be a man of the character of J. 0 Brown. Wesner has long been promi nent in affairs, and had un extensive, although by no means enviable reputa tion as a criminal lawyer. He was one of the counsel in the famous Nanoy E. Clem case, and was engaged in numerous other murder trials of almost equal celebrity. He onoe represented Boone county in the legislature, and six years ago he was defeated as a oandidate for the cirouit judgeship. He was not a learned attorney, but he enjoyed a large practice and was regarded by the profession as a "trioky lawyer." With certain graces of bearing and gentlemanly polish on the exterior, it has long been known by those intimately acquainted with him that he was revengeful. He privately boasted of having killed men in the west, and as he invariably went armed to the teeth, he was regarded as a dangerous person and not over scrupulous. He was about fifty-eight years old and has a family consisting of a wife, a daughter and two sons, all grown. He practiced extensively in the State and federal courts, and was well known to the bar of Lafayette. He was a vaccilating Republican i'n politics ond had long been prominent ia district and State conyentions. Be had a large income from his practice, but he was notoriously extravagant, and probably leaves no other estate than a handsome residence property. His slayer, J. C. Brown, is one of the best known and most highly respected oitizens of Lebanon. He is identified with a number of business enterprises, and is worth $40,000 or §50,000. He is a native of Kentucky and his family are among the best citizens of Lebanon, where they have resided for fifteen or twenty years. Mr. Brown's reputation for honesty, uprightness and morality has never been questioned. He invested a large sum of money in the Lebanon opera house and was one of the heaviest stockholders in the natural and artificial gas companies. Ho is about 45 years of age, and has a charming family consisting of his wife and several children. He owns and occupies one of the handsomest residences in the town, and has always moved in the best business aud social circles. He had no vices, and was never known to engage in serious disputes. With the exception of his wife, who is a Methodist, all of Mr. Brown's kinsfolk are strict Presbyterians, and, ulthough he himself is not a member of any church, his life has been honorable and upright in all things. He is kindly disposed, and in the absence of further particulars, his deathly assault on Wesner iB inexplicable, although the dead man frequently '.remarked that he expected to "die with his boots on."

Memories.

Ex-Rev. Fred Pettit waB yesterday interviewed in the prison north, and he appeared to be quite cheerful and said that he felt confident that the Supreme Court would grant him a new trial. The story that he has been suffering with hemorrhage of the lungs is purely fiction. He has not had a hemorrhage since he "entered the prison gate, and, aside from being somewhat emaciated from his long confinement, is looking well. He praised the prison officials and said they made life for him as pleasant as possible under the circumstances Hither came yesterday afternoon Mrs. Elms C. Whitehead on her return from an extended sojourn in Florida. Mrs. W. was in good health and splendid spirits and soon left for home near Shawnee Mownd.—Lafayette TIHWS.

The Drummers Entertained. On Saturday evening the members of the commercial travelers' association anil their wives were delightfully entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Will Nash, at their home on east Main street. The affair was decidedly pleasant, and dancing ond other amusements kept up until a late hour. Profs. Ramsbrook ana Davis furnished the best of music and all thingB were of a pleasurable character. Choice refreshments were served the guests and the entertainment was a successful and merry one.

RAILROADS.

Waste of Power and Friotion—Revenues of tho Railways, ICopyrlght reserved.]

Great as tho burden of tribute is wts are made to pay abroad on account of tho selfish and irresponsible control of the railways by which sixty or more per cent, of fictitious capital is added to the system, there is another ^nnd perhaps even a greater burden imposed on the country by the railways.

There is an erroneous waste of power, useless wear and friotion of road bed iiud machinery under the conilicting and rivul management of the system under private ownership. This useless waste of power and friction, is probably greater than the power and friotion used in tho business actually doue.

The Inter-State Commerce Commission report the number of oars the property of the railroads at 1,215,011. Of this nnmber about 29,000 are passenger cars. There are cars used on the roads that belong to the shippers, the number of thiB class ot oars iB not given. If we assume that they number one-half as many as tho passenger cars, the number of freight cars would be in round numbers 1,200,000.

The nnmber of tons of freight oarried one mile during the year ending June 30,- 1892, was (81,073,784,121,) eighty-one billions, seventy-three millions, seven hundred nnd eighty-four thousand, one hundred and twenty-one tons.

Dividing this number by the number of cars 1,200,000, gives the number of tons each car moved one mile on the average, at 67,561 tons during the year ot 313 days but as a matter of fact, there is an immense amount ot freight moved on the fifty-two Sundays, but making the calculation as if no freight was hauled oa Sunday we have 216 as the number of tons each car carried one mile each of the 313 working days in the year. If each car on the average is used ten honrs out of every twenty-four and travels twelve miles an hour, it would carry its freight 129 miles a day If it was loaded with one ton and 1,600 pound of freight it would carry 216 one mile a day.

This is not any more than a farmer hauls on a two horse wagon. On the average the capacity of freight cars is not loss than 12 tons, nnd on an average they carry about 13.33 per cent, of what they could carry. Wliit the weight of freight cars is oannot be given with any accnracy, but it is safely within the limits of the fact to say that the weight is not less than six tons on an average, and at this rate they haul 3 tons of dead freight for every ton of paying freight they haul, not including the locomotive and tender, which, if added would make tho disparity between the power aud waste to haul a ton of freight, and dead weight as more than four to cue.

No precise calculation can be made of how many tons of locomotive nnd cars are required to each ton of freight moved, but no doubt less than one-half now used weukl be sufficient if the railways of the country were subject to tho control of the general government to the fullest extent.

The waste of power aud the waste of friction in the passenger service iB quite as great a"s the freight service.

With 29,000 passenger cara in round numbers 12,844,233,881 passengers were carried one mile. On the average each car carried 442,905 passengers one mile during the year of 313 days, but here, as in freight, there is a very heavy passsngor business on Sundays, especially in and near large cities," but, excluding Sundays, each car carried 1,415 passengers one mile each iy, or a small fraction less than 4.85 passengers per car, not less than a one horso hack load. This calculation is basod on an average of 12 hours out of every 24, at 25 miles an hour.

The waste of power and friction in the passenger traffic is even greater than in the freight traffic, as tho haulage of cars amounts to 15 tons for every ton of passengers carried.

That the calculation of 4.85 passengers oa an average to the car is rather in excess than under the average, is proven by another calculation—4.85 passengers carried 300 miles at 2,142 cents per mile amounts to the snm of S31.148 aB the earnings per car, per day in 313 davs the car would earn 89,749.33 The 29, 000 cars would eira (3282,730,396,) two hundred and eighty-two million, Beven hundred and thirty thousand, three hnndred and ninety-six dollars. While the passenger earnings for the year were only §281,178,599. The correctness of one and four-fifths tons of freight per car can be verified in the same way

If the railways of the country were subject to the Bame control that the postal system iB this wastage could be very greatly reduced, which will jr ib ably not be done while the rivalry for business coutinues, and the roads are permitted to charge "what the traffic will bear." But notwithstanding the small amount of business done in comparison with what might be done, the earnings and income foi the year ending June 30, 1891, was, as given by the Inter-State Commerce Commission 81,096,761,035. The income from investments was 8133,911,126, whatever this may mean it is evidently an iucome separato from the four items of freight, passenger, mail, and express earnings. Those four items are given by the commission at ... freight Pa-stmogcr ii...-.,...

Secretary Husk of the Agricultural Department congratulated the country on the enormous value of the corn, cotton, and wheat crops of the country for the year 1891, making in about.(3l]l00,000,000,) one billion, one hundred millions, or about one hundred millions of dollars a year less than the annual revenue of the railroads. Tho value ot those three crops for tho year 1891 WHS much in excess of their overage value.

This comparison shows how great and unequal the earnings of the railroads are in compr r'son with-other industries, but it does lot show it conclusively without taking into co'"'doration the labor ompioyed in optra'.ing the railroads.
