Miiipositl that then- is not a mile nf rail-
rood yet in Chinn, hut 1hi« is n mistake.
Tm-iv is <mo road nimjili H- in all its ap
pointments and details in daily operation.
It is situated about se\euty-Hvc miles east
northeast from Tei list in and iskmmnns
the “Kai-Ping railway.*' It was built to
n^ord an outlet for the output of the col
liery of the Chinese eiitfinoi ring and inin-
ing company, situated about five miles
front the tow n of Kai-l'ing in tin- province
of China. North China.
The original intention was to Itave tin
line extend from tin-colliery to the town
of lYn-Tang. on the seaboard, at the mouth
of the river of the same name and distance
from the colliery about forty miles. In-
strunn nts for the sun ey of this hue were
ordered in August, lSTR. and work ''its
commenced, but in October the ( hine-t-
government notified the Min-etnis t hat no
railroad work would he permitted. I In
manager then ordered 1 he survey of the
Chang-Ho. a small stream running past
the works, hut it was found quite impassa
ble for boats carrying o\ er f lin e tups.
In November. 1S7!». surveying for a canal
system was begun and in October of the
following year the work of excavating a
ennui to connect the colliery with the near
est point on the Pell-Tang river was start
ed. Mut it was found that it would la im
possible to bring the canal nearer than
w ithin seven miles of the colliery, so the
directors told the government that unless
tin* permission were granted to build a
line to connect the colliery with the head
of the canal the company would be forced
to stop work. Hut not till April. ISM,
would tlu- government listen to any ap
peal. and then permission was given to put
down a line from the colliery to tin head
of the canal on condition that only horses
or mules should housed as the motive
power, and that should be called a tram-
wav.
In the meantime the engineers had been
quietlv constructing a locomotive in the
shops‘out of such odds and ends as were
obtainable, and the use of tlu men and ma
terials for this purpose was kept a secret
for fear that it would become known to the
government that they were building a “lo
comotive.” The locomotive was tested
w ith twenty pounds of steam on the 24th
of March. itiSl, and.worked well, but on
the 7th of April all further work on it was
stopped by order of the managing director,
and on the 9th all the rails on which it had
been run in the yard were pulled up, ami
on the 5th of May the locomotive was
shunted into a shea, presumably to let her
rust out.
Work was however, again begun on her,
and at last, in spite of all obstacles, an en
gine subsequently described was finally
completed at small expense, though in the
roughest manner, ow ing to want of facili
ties in the shops, and whs run in the yard
on the centenary of George Stevenson’s
birth for the first time ; whence it was not
inappropriately christened the “Rock of
China." The first trial on the main line
was made on the 8th of November of the 1
same year, and since then the engine has
done, good service, running over 12,000
miles and supplying all requirements till
locomotives could be got out from Eng
land.
The traffic is daily about 000 tons of coal,
100 tons of limestone, besides pottery and
sundries, and also about 100 passengers who
pay live cents for the seven miles.
The tunnel above mentioned takes a
branch line to the company's quarries, and
all bridges are made for a double line of
rails. Flag signWs are used, and there is a
gatekeeper at each crossing. Notwith
standing the fact that this road is in daily
operation, runs smoothly and is a beautiful
model of what a railroad should be for
general traffic, its existence is ignored by
the government. It has never been seen
by any member of the board of public
works, nor. indeed, by any other consid
erable person connected with the govern
ment at Peking, or of the province in
which it is situated, although it has a state
carriage and a fine house for the accom
modation of such visitors. ,

A STRANGE SIGHT.

nn Fiectrh- Tower I.hlit.
Chicago. May 10.—A singular phenome
non occurred during the storm of Saturday
night in the vicinity of the board of trade
lower light. it was none oiler than a :
shower of birds. Vcfeterday when the ,
watchman marie his rounds lx found the
sidewalks and streets in front oft lie towel*
fairly covered with dead birds of all Aorts.
A little later the electrician came flown,
and >\ hen he saw the great idle ofbirds, In
said that it was the electric light at the top
ki the tower. When he went up to the ;
l\ h m with several members of the board
of trade, the roof was found to be covered
with dead birds, and each of the lamps in
the big circle or light was filled with them, ,
one globe having eight birds in it. These
birds are of every known variety, and ,
manv unknown, or rather unfamiliar
species are among the lot. All shades and
colors are there—scarlet, blue, pink, red.
canary, mottled, black and white, and \
there'were some snipe and plovers among
them.
Tin theory is that they were migratory!
flocks going from south to north, and were
attracted by tin great light, which the mo- ■
nu nt they touched killed them. The birds
are of the small species. There was a |
countless number of them, enough to trim
all the ladies’ hats in Illinois. Many Bo- I
hemians were in the street with bags and j
baskets, and in less than two hours the ;
street was clear of every vestige of the j
bird shower, but the roof of the hoard of \
trade is now covered, and the janitors will 1
remove them to-day.
A BOSTON SCANDAL.
Kml Mor) of tie* ID-nth uf n Soprano singer In*
enrth«»«l by a Report <*r.
Boston, May 10.*— A peculiar story, w hich
promises to develop into a society scandal
of large proportions, has been brought to
light T>y a reporter who was investigating
want he supposed to be n case of body-
si .itching.
Miss Ella N. Abbott, an attractive little
lady of 35 years, has been for some yen s
tlu- leading soprano at the fashionable Ar
lington Street Congregational church in
the Back Bay district. She was a musical
artist of unusual ability, aud had appeared
successfully in many converts in Bust on,
New York, Philadelphia and otln-r cities.
She had rooms at the fashionable
Hotel Pelham, where slu- re
ceived pupils from the first families of
Boston society. Miss Abbott herself was
a plump little woman , with fairer mplex
ion and soft brown hair, and her refined
manners and unusual talent gave her easy
entree into Boston’s best social eirclss. In-
tlu* church she was especially popular,
* and when,,a fortnight ago, she died sud
denly, after a briel illness, she was sin-*
cc.*efy mourned. The cause ol* her death
was not generally known, but it was un
derstood to be pneumonia. Tin* funeral
t"ok place at the church, and was largely
attended. The body was buried in Mi.
Hone cemetery.
A day or two ago it began to be w his-
ptred in society that the favorite singer's
griixe had been desecrated by robbers. A
• reporter who started to investigate the ru
mor found after patient investigation that
it was not strictly true, hut at the same
time made the startling discovery that
Miss Abbott had died a victim of malprac-
ti'-c.
Her grave had actually bet n opened after
the funeral, hut the body had been dug up
in accordance w ith a pre-arranged plan b\
the Boston medical examiner, who took it
into Boston to have an autopsy performed.
This course was taken to avoid unneces
sary scandal, and it was hoped that tin-
facts would escape publication. The au
topsy was held yesterday, and last night
the i»ody was returned t»> the grave. Tlu
autopsy proved con'clusiveU the cause of
death.

Ofliee Piedmont M’f’g Co., Piedmont, S.
, C.—Mess. Westmoreland Bros.: Nearly 1
1 two years ago X contracted malaria into
system, and suffered greatly from time to
time from it in various forms in which it i
! developed. Sometimes had severe thills
and fevers-indigestion followed it, and I 1
was generally out of health. Last spring
for more than two months I was greatly,
troubled with a disordered condition of the
bowels, which I believe was the result of
the malaria still existing in my system. I
visited two or three mineral springs cele
brated for the cure of malarial diseases,
without the slightest benefit. It was also
treated as the different symptoms devel
oped by the most skillful physicians, but
was not relieved. About two months ago
I concluded to try C'ulisayaTonic, prepared
by Westmoreland Bros., but I must confess
I had little confidence of being materially
benefited by it. I have taken five or six
bottles of the Tonic—from the beginning I
felt relieved and continued to improve,
until now I feel ipiite as well aud in as per
fect health as I ever did in my life, and be
lieve 1 am perfectly well.
H. P.'Hammett, President.
The effects of malaria in the system is a
hard thing to eradicate, hut will promptly
yield to the wonderful and sovereign rem
edy, Westmoreland’s Calisava Tonic. Try
it.
