....Ills expected that the earnings of the Penn¬ 
sylvania Railroad this fiscal year will reach $40,- 
000,000, and that the actual net earnings will be at 
the rate of more than 20 per cent, on the capital 
stock. Captain Bell reports that one of

n party of hostlles recently, killed two, wounded

the month or August, numbered 25,sou. This ag¬ 
gregate exceeds by 4,000 the figures for the same

figures for this month will be also, It is thought, 
unprecedentedly heavy, especially in the matter 
of Immigration from the German ports, no less 
than etght Hamburgh steamers being due during 
September, ail with large steerage lists. The ar- 
rlvulsou Sept, l, numbered 1,24Sby three steamers,

that, as a measure of retaliation and self-protec¬ 
tion, the Chicago, Burlington and (Quincy Rail¬ 
road will immediately commence t he construction 
or a branch line from Peoria, Ill,, to Toledo, Ohio, 
about. 300 miles. This enterprise, the managers 
assert, Is made necessary by the aggressive policy 
pursued oy the Wabash interest In the territory 
once controlled by the Burlington company, and 
promises to result lu vigorous competition. For 
the greater part of the distance the route will be 
located parallel with and very near to the Wabash, 
striking such lmportunt centers as Logausport, 
Lufayette, Fort Wayne and Defiance.

shot had made an honest man of him, and now as 
he was about to die, he desired to reward the 
shooter.A shocking accident oceured on the 
Lowell and Lawrence Railroad, by which five 
young men lost tnelr lives. There had been a Cal¬ 
edonian picnic at Uacketl’s pond and live young 
men named Shlnick, Meagher, Ryan, Mack and 
Nolan, allot Lowell, attended. Jn the evening, 
when the Lime for returning home arrived, they 
climbed on top of a passenger car, and there, 
quietly sitting and talking, awaited the train’s ap¬ 
proach to Lowell, not dreaming of any possible 
danger, except of detection by the conductor or 
train hands. Short ly after nine o’clock the train 
passed Mace's crossing, three miles from Lowell, 
near w hich Is a low stono bridge. When the train 
passed under this bridge the young men came vio¬

T HE ATTENTION of owners of Farm Property

The history of this Company proves flint, a laugh

THE ART OF CLEANSING FABRICS 
is yet but imperfectly understood py thousands of 
good housekeepers. The numerous devices of frio- 
tion rollers, pounders. squeezers, rashers, agitators, 
steam wash-boilers, etc., have, ail failed in one or more 
of the throe essential points, namely : The Savina Of 
labor, wear and tear of clothes, or In imperfect!) 
extracting tho dirt and discoloration; all of which are 
accomplished hy the Bobbins Family Washer ami 
Bleacher. 
WHAT r« IT REMOVE t THE DIRTf 
You may ask washerwomen and housekeepers, .*ud 
your answer from nine out of ton will he.“Plenty of 
elbow grease,” or lu other words, laborious rubbing 
upon the wash-board. And such Is the case, for you 
first rub soap upon the cloth, and then you have, to 
rub ii i" to make tho dirt soluble; but doe.i that, re 
movotty No; to do that yon must dip it in the water 
and mb repeatedly to force water through tho fabric, 
»galn and agaUi. That Lb ivhut removes dirt after 
having been softened by the Chemical action of the 
soap. 
The way in which this could lie most economically 
accomplished has been developed in the Family 
Washer and Bi.kacUER, which embodies all the 
abovo points. 
MeeliaiiJesI devices take the entire time of » person 
during tlie whole wash, and will not teinoie streaks 
from clothes. 
It is harder to operate them than b. use the ... 
mon wash-board. They are coaetautly getting mil 
of order, and weur nut In H short time. 1\ itli all

housewife duos her housework. As stated, nuit r torn 
is what removea dirt from tho ffbre of the cloth. 
A largo body of water Is reunited to hold in solution 
a ecmipiiraUvrJy small quantity of dirt. 
THE I'HIMH PLE t»F THE WAKIIEK AND 
BLEACHER 
embodies all the essential points. First, vve have Hi 
desired heat which ex pan <im the labrie. aud cause* it 
to discharge the dirt. Second. wo obtain u powerful 
suction beneath Urn clothes, which produce* a rapid 
downward, current, or water force, tluxmgb end 
through tnern, thereby roimiviug the dirt i lord, we 
use a lunie boai/tp water, which holds the .jlri 'use 
lution. Fourth, we use but a small quantity of soap. 
Fifth, tho worthing if* done l>y water and not by strain. 
This process cannot injure fabrics it deauscs tlu.r 
oiiglily. rinmAo the e hit Jo ,-t bsltia all that in numbed to 
complete tho operation. 
THE I’lllLGHOPHY OF THE WAMlEJt. 
AND BLEACHER IH TlIJMj 
Wo ba\ o r.llvs. of inetol, which attains a much greater 
degree of heat than tha water surrounding it. conso- 
neatly the water underninth the Washer bee.mew 
hotter and more uxputmivo than in any other j nut of 
tho boiler, and is thereby thrown to tho surface 
through tho tube; thus tending to produce a vacuum 
underneath the Washer at the bottom of tho boiler 
Into which tho water is rapidly drawn.
