Presently it will be necessary for the government to otter a bounty for every farm hand who can be captured. Dr. J. S. Boyers and family returned home from Randall, West Virginia, last evening, where they have been visiting tor several weeks past with the doctor’s parents and other relatives. They report a most pleasant time and say that they greatly enjoyed the trip. Henry Jaekson. of New Orleans, who has been visiting here, returned to his home last evening. Forty-five years ago Mr. Jackson lived in this city, and this was his first return visit. He is now chief of police at New Orleans, and has made a brilliant record in his office. As soon as the driver sees the disposition to run in the horse he is driving, let him begin the rapid jerking first on one line atd then on the other, not gently, but with such force as to bring the bridle bit from one side to the other through the horse’s mouth. The new motion so confuses the animal that all other fear is taken away. Superintendent Cotter, of the Wabash Ry., has just dismissed from the service of the road some of the most fearless, capable and fast running engineers and trainmen for disobeying the rule against the use of intoxicants. Fifty employes have been summoned to ap]iear before the officers of the company. The Wabash people announce that they will strictly enforce the rules ’ I which prohibit trainmen from visiti nig saloons. . Preliminary figures on the operations of the Erie railroad company, | for the year ended June 30, indicate 1 earnings of about 4 1-2 jier cent on >he common stock. The total ' surplus, after the payment of the dividend on the first prefered stock, was 35,948,000, an increase of $3,- | 000,000 over last year. The gross earnings for the year, were $45,830,413, an increase of $4,933.970. The figures include the operations of the Erie, also coal companies, and it also covers a period of five months | of the coal strike last year. It was announced yesterday in New York that Edwin Hawley and | H. E. Huntington had been elee- , ted directors of the Toledo, St. Louis , and Western railroad. This is regarded as indicating that they’ control a majority of the stock. It was assumed in some quarters that Mr. Hawley would attempt a consolidation with his Minneapolis and St. Louis road, but this is regarded as improbable. Study of the railroad ' map fails to show that such a consolidation could be advantageously effective. The Clover Leaf is in the hands of a voting trust, whose controling interest expires in 1905. Whether Mr. Hawley’s ownership of the road will perimt him to control it is a question. The change in the Clover Leaf directorate is regarded as establishing the important fact that the Grand Trunk has not secured control of the road ns reported.

R. & I. road are moving' many refrigerator cars to points along the north end which will be held in readiness for the transportation of the Michigan peach crop. On nearly every G. R. & I. freight train there are from ten to fifteen fruit cars on their way north. A team of horses belonging to L. | H. Baily ran away on First street to day and did a few dollars’ worth of damage. The team broke from a hitching post, and when going; at break neck speed, dashed into a tree and badly damaged the carriage. Fortunately no one was hurt. Eli Meyers returned from Lima, Ohio, last night, where he attended the funeral of his cousin, William Meyers. The deceased, who was well known to a number of Decatur | people, died Wednesday morning i from dropsy. He was forty-two I years old and lived at Lima the greater part of his life. The funeral was held Friday morning. Jeff Klop I fenstein and wife, of Preble, were also in attendance at the funeral. The ‘lmmortal J. N.” fell into ' the city some time Sunday and paraded the streets, says the Bow lin g i Green Sentinel. He came from 1 North Baltimore where memliers of the ty]x>graphical fraternity

I made a purse of ♦ 1 or $5 and preI sented it to him. As he left the city |on the train, lie scattered the money far and wide among the crowd, which was at the depot to see him off. He told them he had no more use for money than a cow has for gold. A Missouri paper tells of a man named Jones, a newcomer, having deposited SIOO in the preacher's salary box on Sunday recently.

The whole congregation arose and then the preacher asked Mr. Jones what his business was, and he replied, "lama saloonkeeper.” Some of the good brethren and sisters almost fell dead. The shock was simply awful.
