CONCERNING SEAMEN ON BOARD OF
NAVAL SHIPS.
The Proposal to AbolUh Marln.l-Amoant
and IMclrlbutlon of Cotton on Shipboard.
Arrivals aud I)epartur« — Current
Nautical Notes.
"The proposal to abolish marines a« mil-
itary cuanls on ships,' says the Maritime
Register, "and to make blae jackets per-
form the duties now done by marines on
shipboard, show moefc graphically the
changes in sailo-s' work on a naval vessel
brought about by the modern type of man-
of-war. The sailor has now little to do
with the management of the vessel, the
engineers and firemen attending largely to
this, and heavy gun work, cutlass drill
and lookout watches engage more of hia at-
tention than navigation duties. V» ben the
mastless war ships, which aro so strongly
advocated by many, come into vogue
it will be difficult to make a sailor on a
man-of-wnr. lie will be either an engineer,
stoker or fighter. With the manifold UU"
ties| connected with gunnery, tactics, huil
and engines, which are being imposed upon
the ofiicers, it may also bcoome a question
whether they al3o will not fall away in sea-
manship. We have hoard it maintained
that the seamanship necessary for tho old I
type of vessels will not imj needed for the
latest class of war rossol. And yet the j
court of inquiry into the loss of the British
torpedo vessel Serpent gave high praise for
the skillful seamanship displayed by of-
ficers and crew of that vessel. This praise |
in former times would be considered
singular, for such conduct would be
taken as a matter of courae. Hut the
abolition of the navigating officer and
commander, who can handle his vessel like
a seaman, and of the seaman who is really
cue, makes such praise noteworthy. It is a
question, therefore, whether tho naval ofti-
cer of th* future is to be only a tactician,
fighter and a maneuvers?of a big iron hull,
or to be iu addition a thorough seaman. It
is suggested in England that the officers of
tho merchant service would supply a good
corps of navigating lieutenants, and that
this employment with the colors from time
to time would be of advantage to them-
selves and to the ofiicers ol" the navy. This
is certainly a subject that must soon com-
mand attention here, for while it is easy
enough to build warships of tho most ap-
proved models, those esaential to their suc-
cess, ollicers and men capable of handling
them proper'v and making them elTective
lighting machines, are not so easily ob-
tained.

StSKlND'S SAVORY WORK.
A Bofu, R.bbl Caught J„ th. H«h*. of th.
law.
nkw York. Dec. 2&-[Speclal]-Th,
onlted Hebrew charitie, to break up the
. divorce traffic carried on among
tha east aide Russian and Polish Jews by
e so-called Rabbi Siskind reaped their
arst fruits yesterday. Siskind, who has
undoubtedly granted more of these fraudu-
ent divorces than any one else in the basU
neaa, was arrested yesterday afternoon on a
warrant issued by Justice Hogan. The
charge against Siskind was petty larceny in
obtaining money under falae pretenses.
The warrant was issued on the a3idavit of
Agent Arnold Ehrlich of the united Hebrew
charities, who swore that Siskind
received |5 for a divorce
which be had granted. Khrlich was
in court whon the case of Koppei Hlrsh-
jtOTitz came up before Justice Hogan for a
further hearing. Hirschkovitz is the young
ana ignorant Polish Jew who was arrested
for abandoning his wife Ida and their child.
Hirschkovitz. or Harris as he is called by
his wife, produced what ho said was a di-
vorce when ho was arraigned last week. He
nad paid $5 to Kabbi Siskind and got his
divorce in return. Ho told Justice Hogan
that he was perfectly ready to live with his
wife again and support her. They could
S?* •Sfce and ao they got divorced. Agent
JUUFlich suggested thut a re-marriago might
be in order, but Justice Hogan said he did
not propose to recognize Siskind's divorce
oy sanctioning such a course.
Justice Hogan allowed tho man go, warn-
ing him, however, that if he should leave
nis lawful wife to marry another ho would
be sent to Sing Sing for bigamy. Siskind
will bo arraigned in the morning. His
methods have been thoroughly investigated
and the number of divorces which he has
granted in the ten years he has lived in this
country is simply appalling. They run up
to thirty or forty a year. In moat casos tho
parties so divorced have romarried so that
tho number of Polish and Russian Jews
indictable for bigamy must be nstonishs
ly large. Siakind received all the way from
$10 to $&0 for his divorces, and his income
baa been easily fCOO to *700 a year from this
source. He granted international as well
aa local divorces. Polish Jews who have
left their wives behind and wanted to
marry again in this country have gono to
him and obtained the papers which tho
rabbi told them constittued a divorce.
With the incomo derived tho marrying of
tho Polish and Russian Jews in the neigh-
borhood added to his divorce business, Rab-
bi Siakiud managed to make a comfortable
living.
HUNTSVILLE HAPPENINGS.
Quarantine Declared Agafnst Houston—A
Qnist Christmas—Weddings.
Huhtsville, Tex., Dec. 29.—The city coun-
cil held a special meeting this morning and
by an order quarantined against Houston.
This action la very generally commended,
though 'some are of the opinion that the
necessity does not exist, and that the scare
will eoon blow over.
Huntsville has b«on quieter during this
Christmas than ever before known. The
ordinance against llroworks was not sus-
pended as heretofore, and in consequence
tho boys all had to go outside of the corpos
ration to have thefr fun.
Mrs. Mary Calhoun Dixon gave an enter-
tainment at the opera house which wa-
largely attended and highly appreciated.
Too proceeds will be applied to building
the new Baptist church.
Among the teachers who returned home
to spend Christmas may be mentioned Pro-
fessor Robert Smith of the A. and M. col-
lege, Miss Sue Smither of Waco college.
Professor John T. Moore of the Mont-
gomery High school.
George Robinson of tho tho Helton Jour-
nal, and a brother of Fr6d Robinson of the
Item, with his wife and child, is visit*
ing his mother after an absence of three
years.
Mrs. Luclan Joseph of Galveston is visit-
ing Mrs. J. K. Wiley and will assist Mrs.
Wiley on New Year's in keeping open house
in her elegaut new home.
The old lirm of Ball, Smither & Co. has
changed to liali & Smither, Uoreo Ashfcrd
and J. M. Callaway withdrawing from the
firm.
News has been received of a killing in
Madison county, near the northwest end, a
man by the name of Ford being killed by
Berry Mclver. No particulars are known.
Several weddings are looked for this week,
but as no cards aro out it would not be fair
to give names.
FOLLOWING HIS FAITHLESS FRAU.
A Californlan Hot on the Trail of Qls De-
serting Wlfo and Her Paramonr.
Gainesville, Tex., Dec. 29.—A man has
arrived here on rather a romantic errand.
He was tracing up his wife and children
and was playing detective.
"One year ago," be said, *'I was living
happily with my wife and two children in
California. My wife and children started
to Illinois to visit her people, where we bad
formerly resided. Arrangements were made
for the tender farewells and they embarked
for the long trip. I remained at home and
looked carefully after my business. Every-
thing went smoothly and I had no apnre<.
Pensions that anything was wrong till 1
learned that one of my gentleman neigh-
bors was absent and had left on the same
traiu that my family did. Then cairo a let-
ter from my wife telling me that she had
met this neighbor on tho train and had
fallen in love with him and intendod to take
thechildren and live with him. Nointimation
aa to where they intended going. They
never reached the home in Illinois. I went
to work to find them. I had only one clew,
but 1 worked that. My unnoighborly
neighbor, before leaving, had purchased at
our local bank a draft on a New York bauk
for S000. I kept close look out for tho re-
turn of this draft. 1 waited several months,
4>ut it came back a few daya ago with the
Indorsement of Stevens, Kennerly &
Spragin?, Gainesville, Tex. I at once took
the train and here I am. I have learned
hero that the absconder purchased an out*
fit for farming and housekeeping in this
City at tho time the draft was cashod and
has moved to the Indian territory and set-
tled near Ardmore, for which place I leave
on the next train in pursuit of them, with
the determination to fiud them and recover
my children. The neighbor and wife I
don't want; only my children. These I am
going to have regardless of consequences."
Jim Cummlnga Discovered.
san Diego, CaL, Dec. 29.—Chief of Police
'Coyne has received a letter from a man
visiting in this city from Independence,
Mo., informing him that the writer had
met face to face on the streets of San Diego
the notorious Missouri bandit, Jim Cum-
mings, for whom a standing reward is
offered dead or alive. The writer refused to
givo his name for fear of vengeance from
members of Cummings' band, who intest
the locality where he lives.
O'Brien's Intentions.
new York, Dec. 29.—John Dillon, the
only member of the Irish envoys now in the
city, said to-day that O'Brien would hold
a secret conference at Paris to-morrow.
The result of the conference, for which all
Irishmen in the world are waiting, will
probably be known on Wednesday.

Notes and Comment,
Chicago, 111., Dec. 27.—In ita issue of to-
day the Railway Age prints a statement of
the new railway mileage of tho United
States for the year ahowing an increaaa over
that of the previous year, aggregating 6080
miles, compared with about 5200 added in
1889, a gain of 850 miles.
Over 2000 miles of tho year's increase are
in the southern group of states and about
1060 miles of it are in the southwestern
group, in both of which sections railway
building has been phenomenallyaciive. Tho
northwestern groun shows 1047 miles of new
track—a greater relative increase than
cither of those sections, or more than 400
miles compared with the previous year's
growth. This is largely owing to the active
building operations of tho Northern Pacific
and tho Great Northern lines, the former
having made many important extensions
and the latter having pushed its Pacific
coast line close to tho Rocky mountains.
The increase of mileage in the Pacific coast
states and the New England and eastern
states shows about the same as last year,
indicating a healthy growth of existing
lines in the latter section, with noarly two-
thirds of the increase in the former section
located In Washington.
Herewith is a summary ahowing the
number of lines and the miloage built iu
each of tho states and groups:

Tho construction of tne last year has ouly
been oxceeded sevon times during the last
twenty years—namely, 1871, 1SS0, 1881, 1883,
1883, 188*5, 18S7, 1888, and it was exceeded by
the record of three of vhose years- 1880, 18»3
and 18S8 by only a few hundred miles. The
average construction for tho last twenty
years Las been 5700 miles annually; there*
fore tho year just closing has made a record
considerably abovo tho average, and will in
creasj the total mileage of the country to
more than 167,000 miles.
While notable extensions have been made
during tho year, especially iu the north-
west. south and eouthwest, a careful analy-
sis of the total mileage shows that most of
the additons have been connecting links
and spurs rendered necessary by the in-
creasing traffic of existing tines. This in
some measure is indicated by the 337 lines
shown, giving an average mileage for each
of only eighteen miles. Among the more
important exceptions, however, the follow-
ing may be named: Great Northern, 120
miles; Great Falls and Canada, 199 miles
(narrow gauge); Ontario. Carbondale
and Scranton, fiftv-four; Clinch valley
division of Norfolk and Western, forty-
seven; Lynchburg and Durham,
52; Wilmington and Jacksonville, 60; Co-
lumbia, Newberry and Laurens, 50; Macon
and Birmingham, 97: Savannah and West-
ern, 43; New Orleans and Northwestorn, 05;
Paducah, Tennessee and Alabama, 50; Pitts-
burg, Akron and Western, 89; Winona and
Southwestern, 40; Grand Island and Wyo-
ming Central, 82; Pacific Short Line, 129;
Chicago, liock Island and Pacific extension
from Omaha to Lincoln, 55; Wichita Val-
ley, 51; Pecos Valley, 90; Rio Grande Junc-
tion, 02; Rio Grande Southern, 50; Denver
and Rio Grande, 59, and the Rio Grande
Western, 60.
It will be observed that the states show-
ing the greatest extent of new mileage are
as follows: Montana, 421; Georgia, 375;
Washington, 341; North Carolina, 309;
Texas, 253; Alabama, 253; Pennsylvania,
253; Virginia. 228; Ohio, 223; Kentucky. 223;
Nebraska, 218; Colorado, 211. The states
showing tho least mileage are: Iowa and
Nevada, each one mile; Arizona, 3; Rhode
Island, 0; Vermont, 18, and Massachusetts,
10. Tne poor showing in the great state of
Iowa which places it on an equality with
Nevada is easily explained by capital shun-
ning a commonwealth that seeks every op-
portunity to attack its rights.
Cboctaw Coal Railroad.
In an article on the difficulties of the
Choctaw Coal and Railway company, for
which a receiver is to bo appointed, the
Philadelphia Ledger prints the following
statement by William C. Anderson, the
treasurer of the company: "The Choctaw
Coal & Railway company, which has its
principal office in this city, has been obliged
to resort to a receivership to protect its
creditors. The company has constructed
within the past 15 months, and is now op«
erating, a line 65 tniLes long, from a junc-
tion with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad at South McAleester to Western
Junction, whero it connects with tho St.
Louis and San Francisco road. It holds
valuable coal leases in the Choctaw Indian
country, which it has developed to a pres-
ent output of about 600 tons daily. Its
work thus far has been largely done on
money borrowed on pledge of bonds, se-
cured by mortgage of the railwav and coal
leasos. Negotiations for the sale of these
bonds were on foot and were interrupted by
the financial stringency which reached this
country from London during the autumn.
A receivership Is now resorted to as a pro-
tection in the Indian territory and to hold
the property together until the bonds can
be permanently placed with the investors
and the property be restored to the com-
pany's control."
The Westera Agreement.
"President Huntington of the Southern
Pacific railroad," remarks the Railway
Register, "is sanguine in hie faith that the
western railway agreement will prove a
success. He does not share with Mr. Stick»»
ney the foar that the present experiment
will be but a repetition of the Interstate
Commerce Railway association failure.
Theie have been those who seemed inclined
to rob the new compact of what moral sup-
port they could by hinting that it would
soon find Itself in collision with
some of the provisions of the act
to regulate commerce. The force of the in-
sinuation has been fully overcome, however,
by the direct declaration of Chairman
Coolev that the agreement does not contra-
vene any part of the rational railroad law.
If the new association 9hall not be success*
ful, thereforo, it will be on account of in-
adaptatlon to the conditions to meet which
it was formed. President Huntington is
not only in favor of the agreement as it
stands, believing that it win accomplish
much good for the roads and the whole
western country, but ho deems it only a
step in the right droctlon. It is as near
consolidation as it !-> possible to como at
present, and so la the best possible a'taln*
merit toward joint ownership, which he
deems the consummation of wisdom. In
explaining his views he uses the Southern
Pacific as an Illustration. The Southern
Pacific company owns the stock of thirty
roads that constitute the Southern Pacific
system. There are less than twenty parties
to the Moreau agreement. His idea is that
an operating company might control the
stock of them all. The present movement
may prove a step toward more perfect
union."
Trouble Between U'ett«ru Railroads.
Chicago, III., Dec. 29.—President Miller
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
railroad, aaid this morning that ho had
called a meeting of the now consolidated
association of western roads to bo held in
New York on January 5. But a squabble
which came up last night between the
Union Pac iflc and the Milwaukee roads is
likely to spoil the whole lovo feast.
Last July the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul road began to run its freight
trains into Omaha over the Union Pacific
bridgo. Early in the year the Union Pa*
cif.c had made a contract with tho Rock
Island and Milwaukee, giving theso roads
equal privileges over the Union
Pacific tracks between the Council
liluils transfer aud South Omaha.
Last week the Milwaukee mado
arrangements with the Union Depot com-
pany to run its pnssenger trains into the
Omaha union depot. This service was to
begin to-day. Late last night, however,
the Union Pacific sent word to the Mil-
waukee that It could no longer use the
bridge. When a Milwaukee freight train
then undertook 10 cross about midnight
tho crew found the switches double locked.
Formal demands and refusals were made.
Th<s morning toe Milwaukee undertook to
get a passengor traiu across, but the Union
Pacific blocked tho track wi h an engine.
President Miller intimated that the above
complication might intorfera with the
meeting. "If Che contract which the St.
Paul road has with tho Union Pacific," said
President Miller, "can uot be enforced, it
need not be expected that any private agree-
ment tne presidents might make will hold
good "
Tho Hook Inland ShutOut.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 29.—Attempts were
made this morning by the Milwaukee and
Rock island roads to run trains across the
Union Pacific bridgo, but the switches re-
mained locked and the trains wore obliged
to return to Council Bluff's transfer. S. H.
H. Clark, general manager of the Union
Pacific, was seen by a reporter and said
that tiie Union Pacific proposes to do its
own business. It diu not intend to give it
up to another road and allow it to use its
tracks as it pleased. It had offered to pull
in the Milwaukee and Rock Island trains
but it would not allow tho engines of those
roads to do so.
The agreement would not bo complied
with, and tho subject was now being diss
cussod in New York, and a decision wonld
not be reached before the 0th proximo. It
was all nonsense to say that Gould aought
to keep the eastern roads out of the city.
He and the Union Paoific were williag to
encourage ail reads to come hers, but they
had to como iu in the right manner.
This determination puts the Rock Island
in a bad shape. How it will bo able to oper-
erato its roads west of hero la a Question of
considerable Interest and importance. None
of the representatives of tho road in this
city could answer it.
Pao-Araerioan Company.
A bill has been introduced in the house of
representatives at Washington for the char-
tering of the Pan-American Transportation
company. No bonus or appropriation is
asked, the sanction of the government and
the prestige springing therefrom being the
things coveted. The gentlemen interested
in the scheme are all residents of the United
States, and their purpose is to establish
lines of steam transportation between the
olties of Galveston and Mobile and the ports
of Central and South America They ask
that their authorized capitalization be £10,-
000,000, with the privilege of increase l.o$10,-
000,000 upon a two-thirds vote of outstand-
ing stock. Tho establishing of lines of
steamers for the rapid trausportation of
freight, passengers and mail between tho
different countries on tho western hemis-
phere has become one of the essentials to
the highest commercial prosperity of these
nations. This company may have antici-
pated the times a little, but it is
moving along the line of popular
thought and deeire. We have often,
In the past, called attention to
the deflection of traffic from the oast and
west course from the interior to tne sea-
board. This has been the case when the
ultimate destination of the tonnage was
Europe. How much more, then, will this
diverting of traffic amount to when South
America is its destination? The import-
ance of the trunk lines reaching Mobile and
Galveston will be multiplied many times if
steamship lines shall run between them
and the Latin states. And this is what we
may reasonable anticipate, and at an early
day, too. [Railway Register.
The Houston, Cantial Arkansas & Northern.
Through a typographical blunder in the
New York special dispatch, it was stated
Sunday morning that the Houston and
Texas Central aud Arkanaaa aud Texas
road had been mortgaged to George Gould.
As there is no such road as the Houston and
Texas Central and Arkansas and Texas
road, the mistake corrected itself. The
dispatch referred to the Houston, Central
Arkansas and Northern railroad, a pro-*
jected line from Pine Bluff, Ark., to Hons*
ton, Tex. W. A. Bright of Little Rock,
Ark., is president, and Jamrs B. Greeno of
Monroe, La., superintendent. The liuo is
completed for twenty miles, from Monroe
to Columbia, La., and tho mortgage to
George Gould at $20,000 per mile seems to
be a good guarantee that tho entire line
will be constructed.

New York, Dec., aa.—It has been agreed

ments.
