TIIE RAILWAY QUARREL. The R. X 0. Secures a Temporary Injunction —Statements of Pennsylvania Officials. Phii.adei.phia, Oct. 11.—In the United States District Court tor the Eastern district of Pennevlyania, Judge McKennan presiding, this morn"ing, upon motion for a preliminary injunction made hy George Shears jr.. G. J. Johnson and ■John MoCleve, solicitors for the Baltimore & Ohio Railway Company, against the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Delaware Railway Company, Friday, Oct. 17, was set as a day for arguing the motion, and pending the argument • restraining order was granted. The order restrains the defendant, its officers, agents and aervants from abrogating or violating the existing contract relations now in force between it and said complainant, and also forbids any change in existing arrangements under the contract, and compels defendant to receive and do •11 manner of business as agreed upon in the contract. An executive officer of the Pennsylvania RailToad Company says of the controversy with the Baltimore & Ohio Company: "On May 13 last Vice-president Thomson, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad, served proper legal notice on Robert Garrett, of the Baltimore & Ohio, terminating all contracts or arrangements then er.isviag for transportation of business of tbe Baltimore & Ohio between Baltimore and New York, on and after June 14, 1884. Before the requisite thirty days notice, as given, expired, the Baltimore & Ohio officials arranged with Mr. Thomson for a temporary continuance of the business until further notice by the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore or the Pennsylvania railroad. This temporary arrangement was made with the distinct acceptance and under standing on the part of the Baltimore & Ohio officials that the notice of May 13 should not be considered qualified. ” Assistant General Passenger Agent Boyd, of the Pcnnsylvaniacompany, was also interviewed with reference to the statements of C. K. Lord, general passenger agent of the B. & O. railroad, In regard to through passengers ticketed by the latter line from New York to the West. Mr. Boyd said: "The situation is somewhat complicated to-day, and is not improved in any way by the latest action of the B. & O. company in obtaining an injunction this morning. I notice General Passenger Agent Lord, of that corporation, is quoted as saying that the number of passen gers carried between New York and the West by his line averages 15,000 per month, of whom 7,000 were carried between New York and Chicago, 3,000 between New York and St. Louis, 8,000 between New York and Cincinnati, and 3,•00 to points'west of Cincinnati and Chicago. Now here are the exact figures showing the amount of first and second-class business out of New York to points reached by the Baltimore & Ohio for August, which is a fair indication of the gen oral travel by that line. The -total number of passengers so carried, was 1,642. of which 415 were to Washington and local points, 1,227 being to competitive points; that would be, you see, about forty passengers per day, instead of •bout ten times that number, as Mr. Lord claims. This is the business for which the Baltimore & Ohio asks us to run two through trains aud a joint train, the total revenue therefrom, to us. being $145 per day. Mr. Lord also says that, under the present arrangement, passengers ticketed through Baltimore are allowed to stop in that city and Washington, whereas it is a fact that 40 per cent, of the tickets sold from New York to the West through Baltimore in Augnst were of the continuous train form, good only to destination, without “stop off privilege, and a majority of them were taken up on the train leaving New York at night and passing through Baltimore before daylight, showing the unreasonableness of the assertion. Then, again, he claims that by the •action of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in withdrawing its special train service and requiring the Baltimore & Ohio to pay us $5.30 on every passenger between Baltimore and New York, instead of $3.62, as at present, the business is made unprofitable to his company, while 1 the figures already given show that greater loss has been sustained under the present arrangement by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. A slight difference in rates should not affect the business to such an extent as to cut off all through tickets and deprive the Baltimore of its natural connections. The general passenger agent of the Baltimore & Ohio says the prevail - ing rate between New York and Chicago is sls, whereas he always assured us he has maintained the regular pool rate, $18.50. It would, therefore, seems that he has been ticketing passengers from New York to Chicago at $2.50 less than was oharged from Baltimore, the rate to Chicago from that city being $17.50. This certainly does not indicate any very great desire on the part of the Baltimore & Ohio officials to carry out their vaunted policy of favoring the city in whose affairs they claim to have such deep interests. Then again, it is unreasonable to suppose the Pennsylvania Railroad Company wouia take any action that would be prejudicial to the commercial interests of Baltimore, for Jhe is quite as largely interested in the welfare Os that city as the Baltimore & Ohio could possibly be. It is also evident that the passenger manager of the Baltimore & Ohio road recognizes the fact that the action taken by the company is simply right and proper, and they have no just grounds upon which to build an " argument against discontinuance of the present traffic arrangement. They seek to divert attention from the main issue by attempting to make out that business interests will suffer on account of passengers being carried in the ears of the Pennsylvania railroad instead of those of the Baltimore & Ohio.”

RESULT OP A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS. Row Work on Some Important Public Buildings la Delayed. Washington, Oct. 11.—The failure of Congress to pass the several bills increasing the limit of appropriations for certain public buildings has caused a great deal of embarrassment in the office of the supervising architect The amount available for building the Brooklyn postoffice and custom-house is entirely inadequate for the erection of a building such as is needed. It was expected that Congress would make additional appropriations last session, but as that was not done, no plans can be prepared under the recent ruling of acting Secretary Coon, until it is known just how much money may be expected. For a building at Pittsburg $750,000 was authorized to bo expended, and Architect Hill prepared plans for a building to cost that sum. But the plans did not suit the people of that smoky city, and the Chamber of Commerce con demned Mr. Hill's plans, declaring the proposed building was entirely inadequate. Mr. Hopkins, Pittsburg's representative in Congress, introduced a bill last session to double the amount. He was chairman of the public buildings committee, and succeeded in securing a favorable report on his bill. It was passed in committee of the whole, but, in common with all other public building bills, it was never reported to the House for final passage. Mr. Hopkins, however, was so sure that it would become a law that he induced Mr. Beil, the present supervising architect. to cease work until the measure had been acted upon. Work was stopped and has not been resumed. Mr. Beli says he does not like to proceed with work under the original designs when Congress may within a few monthsautliorize a building to cost twice as much as the amount now available. The condition of the Detroit building is similar in many respects to that of Pittsburg. Five hundred thousand dollars for anew structure for a postofflee and custom-house was allowed by the Forty-seventh Congress. A site was selected, plans were prepared, and work on the basement begun. With the advent of the Forty eighth Congress, however, came petitions signed by thousands of the citizens of Detroit, urging the Secretary of the Treasury to sell the chosen site, and select one more available. Mr. Maybury, the representative from Detroit, introduced a bill in the House, and Senator Palmer a similar one in the Senate, increasing the appropriation to $900,000, and instructing the Secretary of the Treasury to inquire into the advisability of changing the location of the building. Senator Palmer's bill went through the Senate, but the House bill was never reported from the committee of the whole. The pressure brought to hear upon Secretary B’olger was so great, and the desires of the people of Detroit seemed so plain, that he was induced to order a suspension of operations until Congress had made its decision. The result is that Detroit, like Pittsburg, has a hole in the ground on the spot where the postofflee should be, and the work of the supervising architect's office is retarded by the non action on these bills. There are several other buildings delayed for similar reasons. When the city securos a dollar from the general government, the populace will never rest contented until double the amount is given them. The Capitol an Insect Cemetery. Washington, Oct. 11.—The removal of the ap nliances for electric lighting of the Capitol shows that the building is in a most untidy condition, on account of the billions of insects which the brilliancy of the electric light attracted, and whose skeletons are either hanging on the walls, held fast by a death grip, or are piled up in heaps all over the recesses of the roof. There are myriads or May flies, beetles, crickets, ear wigs, dragon flies, grasshoppers, caddis flies, bees, wasps, ants, hornets, butterflies, plant lice, water beetles, whirligigs, skippers, hornet! midgets, gnats, mosquitos, and every species of insectoria known to the surrounding swamps and woods of Washington. It will piobably require the aid of scrapers and brooms to remove these skeletons from the walls and the rooting.

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. Operations of the Land Office for One Year— Suggestions of the Commissioner. Washington, Oct. 11.—The Commissioner of the General Land Office has submitted his report of the operations of the fiscal year ended June .30, 1884. The sales, entries and selections of public lands embraced 2G,834,041 acres, and of Indian lands, 097,129 acres; total, 27,531,170 acres, an increase over the year 1883 of 8.101,137 acres, and over 1882 of 13,222,003 acres. The re ceipts from disposals of public lands were $ 11, 840,993; from Indian lands, $938,137; total, $12.779,130, an increase over 1883 of $1,073,364, and an increase over 1882 of $4,392,750, to which is to be added $10,275 received for certified copies of records, making the total receipts for the year $12,789,405. The total number of entries and filings was 280,912, aggregating 40,025,000 acres, an increase over the preceding year of 60,724. The number of entries approved for patenting under pre-emption and other laws was 00,276, an increase over the previous year of 6.429. The agricultural patents numberd 51,337, an increase of 855 over the preceding year. The number of private cash entries was 9,894, aud 3,200,095 acres wero sold under the pro emption law. an incroase of 920,385 acres over the preceding year. The receipts from cash sales were $10,302,582, an average of a frac tion over $1.32 per aero. Three thousand one hundred and eighteen traces of land, embracing 200,002 acres, were sold at public saie, at an average of $2.94 per acre. The Commissioner renews his recommendation that the pre-emption law be repealed, and considers it moat important that the homestead law be amended so as to require proof of actual residence and improvement for two years before homestead entry may be commuted to cash payment. He recommends repeal of the timber culture act, and of t;he act providing that lands covered by relinquishments shall be subject to entry immediately upon cancellation at the local office; he also recommends repeal of the desert law and timber and stone land act There were 1,076 miles of railroad constructed during the year under various grants. The Commissioner suggests that a commission be ap pointed to examine and decide upon unsettled private land claims in New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona, and recommends re-establishment of the boundary line between Colorado and Utah, and a survey of the boundary line between Dakota and Montana and the Yellowstone Park. Thirty-two cases of illegal fencing of public lands have been the area inclosed aggregating 4,431,980 acres. Twelve cases have been acted upon, and suits are recommended to compel removal of fences. Avery large number of complaints remain uninvestigated for want of facilities. The commissioner says that the portion of public lands remaining should be economized for the use of actual settlers only. An act reserving public lands, except mineral and timber reserves, for entry under the homestead law, with amendments to prevent evasion of wise re strictions, would be a measure meeting this end. In conclusion the Commissioner points out the necessity for the immediate adoption of some measure by which the natural forests may be preserved at the headwaters of important rivers and their tributaries, and in such other situations where their preservation is expedient for climatic effect and other reasons of utility. He says there is no good reason why lands worth from $25 to SIOO per acre for timber should be sold for $1.25 and $2.50 per acre, as at present, and he favors withdrawal from sale or entry, under existing laws, of all distinctively timber lands of the United States until examination and appraisement can be mude. After examination, permanent timber reserves should be established where deemed desirable, and provision made for their sale at uot less than the appraised value. A Startling Explosion at Quebec. Quebec, Oct. 11. —About 1 o’clock this afternoon an explosion occurred at the new Parliament building destroying a considerable portion of the inasoury and windows of the new building which is just being roofed in. The explosion at first was supposed to have been the boiler of the engine used for hoisting material, but this proved not to be the case. Neither can it be attributed to gas The general impression appears to be that the explosion was caused by dynamate, but as none of this ingredient was used on the works the mystery is how it came there. An investigation is now being held. The workmen had all been away at dinner and nobody but one man was injured and he escaped with a slight cut from a piece of stone. The shock *was very severe all over the city. Windows of houses in the vicinity of the explosion were badly shattered.

Hog Cholera in the Kast. Philadelphia, Oct. 11.—A dispatch from Easton, Pa., says the hog cholera has prevailed for some time at Phillipsburg, Warren county, New Jersey, and that during the past year one-half the hogs in that vicinity have died from the disease, which has spread to South Easton and proved as fatal, comparatively, as in Phillipsburg. The disease was next heard of at Glendon. two miles from Easton, and in that portion of Palmer township opposite Glendon. About two weeks ago the disease reached Catasaqua, Hokondauqua and Coplay, and is now raging at these places. In the forepart of the week the cholera made its appearance at Mauch Chunk, Hazelton and Whitehaven, and indications are that before the time comes for preparing pork for winter the disease will have spread over the groater part of eastern Pennsylvania. Killed by a Detective. Pittsburg, Oct. 11.—A Uniontown, Pa., special says: “Last evening Tibbetl Triplett, a Youngstown, 0., detective, shot and killed Samuel Keener, near McCleilandtown, nine miles from here. Triplett had been hunting game, and was returning, when he met Keener, who was intoxicated, and bantered him to fight. Triplett tola him to keep off, hut the latter paid no attention to the warning, and when ho attempted to close in on him Triplett raised his shotgun and fired, the discharge taking effect in the assailant’s neck, killing him instantly. Triplett was working up some barn-burning cases here, and was disguised as a miner. It is believed that Keener suspected his real business, and thought he was trying to convict him. Triplett gave himself up, atid was lodged in jail. His Hair Turned White In Three Weeks. Little Falls, N. Y., Oct. 11.—This place was filled with colored people, yesterday, from all over the State. They came to attend the funeral of Henry Atkins, one of the oldest porters of the Wagner Drawing-room Car Company, and a man weil known to the traveling public. For twenty-one years he was a porter, and politely whisked the broom for many of the most distinfuished men in the country, including several residents of the United States. For some neglect of duty he was discharged, a few months ago, and this so preyed on his mind that his hair turned white within three weeks, and he was unable to turn his attention to any other employment. Mistaken for a Burglar. Waterbury, Conn., Oct. 11.—Angus Mackey, a salesman in the employ of Stoninger, Moses & Cos., of Boston, sought lodgings after the ho tels had closed here, last night, and wus referred to a tenement occupied by French and Italians. While groping in the hallways and knocking at doors he was attacked by the inmates, shot, and his skull fractured. Andonis Soutiiardi and Fortinet Gardila were arrested. They claim to have been robbed previously, and say they thought Mackey was a burglar. A Doublo Murder. Chattanooga, Oct. 11.—A special to the Times from Gaylesville, Ala..gives fuller particulars of the double murder that occurred a few days since. Mrs. Mary C. Davis and a boarder named C. C. Jones were assassinated at her house by her uncle, J. B. Dorsey, and a prostitute named Jane Wade. Jones was killed by mistake, it being thought he was Mis. Davis's husband. The murderers were arrested Attempt being made to lynch them, they were secretly conveyed out of the county. Workingmen, Attention!

Costly Work Done in Peasants’ Houses ' —The Luxurious Carpets Called Nomads. New York Sun. The far-famed rugs and carpets of Persia are largely made by peasants at their homes, and are in reality a sort of needlework. United States Consul general Benjamin, at Teheran, has sent to the State Department a long account of the business. He says there are four leading classes of these carpets—the large sized, the rugs, the gliileem, or knittod goods, and the nomads, or felt carpets. Carpets produced in Irak are called paraghans, and are firmer than other Persian carpets. Large sized carpets must be made to order. “Besides the paraghan carpets,” he says, “floors are also carpeted sometimes with fabrics from Kerwanshab, Hawadau, and the district of Lauristan. Also, for this purpose, the carpets of Moch-Kabad, in Khorassen, are available, although of inferior texture to the paraghan. The carpets of Kerwan have the texture fitted to the rough usage required in covering floors; but, while perhaps of superior quality to tho paraghan, they are always small and proportion ately more expensive. “The Persian carpet par excellence is the rug. The Persians use these in preference to large sizes. First covering the earth floor with a hasseer or matting of split reeds, they lay over it many rugs, which completely conceal the mat. This arrangement, when composed of rugs of harmonious designs, is very rich, while tho cost is actually less than if one large carpet were employed instead. “The varieties of Persian rugs aro numerous. In some sorts, like the Turku wan, there is a general similarity of design, although no two rugs aro altogether identical But in other classes, such as the rugs of Kerwan, Dyochegan, or Kurdistan, there is endless variety iu design aud texture.”
