The Lehigh Navigation company has reduced Its dividend to 2 per cent, for the half-year, or 11 per share, giving as on excuse therefor that the demorall' zatlon now existing In the anthracite trade had induced a conservative desire to hUBband resources, It was thought that the reduction in the Lehigh Navl-, gatlon comapny s rate of dividend had a great deal to do with tlje recent de cline In Jersey Central. The reduced rate was not expected, and It did cause some small sales of the stock at a re duction. It Is a reduction of one-half per cent, from the dividend of last May and a decrease of 1 per cent, from the dividend of one year ago. The present reduction is due to the depression of the coal trade. The dividend declared makes the rate of the year 4Vi per cent., compared with 6 per cant. In 1893, 5' per cent, in 1S92 and 5 per cent, each In 1891, 1890 and 1S89. The dividends previously declured have been as fol lows: 1881, 2 per cent.; 1882, 4 per cent.: 1S83, BVi per cent.; 18S4, 6 per cent.; 1885, 5 Mi per cent.; 18S6, 4V4 per cent.; XSS7, 4 per cent.; 1888, 4'i per cent. Assistant Postmaster General Nell eon has been Investigating the subject of special mall service with reference to long electric lines, and has expressed the opinion such roads can be profitably utilized for carrying the malls between local points. This business has always been considered the prerogative of steam railroads, yet anumber of trolley roads are already engaged in carrying malls, and in some cases, special elec tric mall cars have been used In which the work of distributing and cancelling is carried on in the same way as in the cars on steam roads. Another direc tion in which electric car lines threaten to cut Into the income of steam roads which they parallel, sttys the Post-Ex press, is in carrying freight and doing a regular express business along their lines. This has been undertaken by quite a number of roads and has al ready met with considerable success. Some of the companies have gone Into the business extensively enough to re quire special cars for this Bervlce and such cars will probably lie required In most cases where freight and merchan dise of all kinds are handled. Where ever this has been tried It has been well patronized, especially on suburban lines and outlying places which have been built up by the trolley roads; The delivery of bundles of freight In such districts tends to popularize the trolley with suburban patrons and draws cor respondingly from the traffic of steam roads. Kuril an express-or freight Bervlce is also In general far more con venient than that of the steam car. It is very obvious that in some respects electric railways have advantages which make them preferable to Bteam roads with the public for local travel. The chief of these Is perhaps the fact of their taking on and letting off pas sengers at any point on the route in stead of confining them to the use of two terminal stations as In the case of steam lines. From the experience al ready gained by the steam1 railroad companies in the loss of local traffic, it is apparent that electric roads are Bure to ultimately provide for this travel where It is reasonably heavy, and the question confronts them now whether to provide electric traction for this pur pose or to allow their Income from this source to be diverted into the pockets of other companies. ( . MINOR INDUSTRIAL NOTES: 1 The Carnegie mill at Homestead re sumed Monday on double turn. The Ohio Southern earned in October $80,523, an Increase In gross earnings over October, last year, of $22,091. In the ten months ending Oct. 31 the Pennsylvania lines have handled 12, 993,450 tons of coal and coke, a decrease of 2,193,439 tons as compared with the game period of 1893. Says the Indianapolis Journal: "Through car service between the Nickel Plate and the Delaware, Lacka-. wanna and Western has been aban doned. It had not been profitable, and the contract was opposed by the other Vknderbilt lines." STOCKS AND BONDS. By the United Press. New York, Nov. 7. The stock market opened with a boom In prices.

OVER T'EXTY-TW) FEET LONG Although an Immense Specimen, Was No torious for His Cowardice, and This Fact Probably Preserved His Lifo for .Many Long Years. A dispatch from Synderson, Ind., to the Commercial Advertiser, gives the following account of the death of a serpent of much note: 1 It Is announced by John Noland, one of the 'best known farmers In the county, that the famous snake, the Madison county terror, that Is known over eastern Indiana, Is dead, or at least there Is evidence to substantiate such an assertion. It will bo remem bered that several weeks ago a Lafay ette township farmer who wus cutting his hay, ran Into his snakeship with his mower, and the result was that six feet of tall parted company with the terror. Several farmers were sum moned and tho rest of the field cut, but despite all precautions, his snakeship made good his escape. The part of the tall cut off was ought to this city and put on exhibi tion. It was almost bIx feet long, and at the place where the mower blade had got in its work It was almost six Inches diameter. Putrefaction made it necessary to bury the remnant, but there nre mnny who will make affidavit having seen It. The snake disap peared and has not been found. Thurs day afternoon John Noland nnd his unds were clearing out a thicket in the Dismal swamp nnd getting some of the land ready for drainage and cultl- atlon. They . suddenly came upon what seems to be the skeleton of a snake. The flesh , was all, dried and In many places worn away by the ele ments. The thicket was cleared and it was found thut the skeleton measured n few inches over fifteen foot. The tail as missing entirely, it being severed at a place where the bones would Indi cate his snakeship had been about five inches through. This, together with the fact that the thicket Is less than a mile from the place where the Madison county terror collided with the mower, to his sorrow, leads to the belief that this is the lust remains of tho noted rep tile, which had a name all over the gas elt. Mr. Noland has the bones to bear out his assertions, and many have gone ut to see them. They are of a size that would Indicate that the reptile was monster, and, if not the . famous snake, was one that had never been seen, as it was much lurger, evidently, than the ordinary Indiana creeper. The Madison county terror" has been known as a reality for at least ight years, and probably longer. It inuuu us nome in me uismal swamp, a stretch of land lying between this city nd Pendleton, which is Just now, for the first time, being drained and made ready for cultivation. He was a mon ster, many who have seen him in this and the Immediate adjoining counties estimating his length, at thirty feet, his width at one foot. The skeleton would Indicate that he waa about twenty-two eet long and about eight inches in diameter at the largest point. Those who have seen his tracks In crossing a newly plowed field state that it looked like a sack of grain had been dragged along. He was notorious for his cow ardlce, and this probably served him well In preserving his life. He had won- erful speed, and always made his es' ipe when cornered, in preference to fighting. Ho lived upon small beasts and other dainties he could get hold of without running any risk.. David Croan, who was probably the best posted on the vicissitudes of this reptile, used to state that he happened n Indiana by accident.' It ' was his opinion that he made his escape from a circus. He was not a native of this state, It is certain, as he was ten or twelve times the size of the common Indiana reptile. The famous Forepaugh circus had a wreck in this country a few years before the terror made his ap pearance,, and it is thought that he es caped then. He had no mate and al ways seemed lonely. The bones, which have been found, will be boiled and cleaned, then wired together and pre sented to the Madison County Histori cal society, to be placed In the museum. The tall is also to be unearthed and cleaned in a similar manner, so that It will be complete. , Didn't I.iko the Combination. From the Detrlot Free Press. I would like another room, land lord," said a mild young man at the of llce counter of a private hotel. "What's the matter now?,, asked the landlord, "anybody committed suicide next door?" ' WorBe than that,"' 8aid the mild young man; "the next room is tne par lor of a suite occupied by a widow and her daughter." 'Exactly; you've hit It right the first time." "The daughter has a piano." "Well, do you object to the piano?" "Not In the least, but wait a moment. The young lady also has a lover." "Oh," said the landlord, "is he the obstacle?" "Let me state the case plainly, He bought her a new waltz, which they practice together every evening, but they will never learn it, never!" and the mild young man sighed. 'Too difficult?" "No sir, it's too easy. It's called the 'kiss waltz,' and at the end of every bar I hear him say, 'Now we kiss,' or Bhe suggests, 'Here there Is more kissing." Now what I want to know is, why don't they give up either the music or the kissing. It's the com blnattnn thnt kills me by inches." The landlord, told me that No. 13 was the only room vacant, but he said he'd take the chances, aid moved in. Ho Wag Raving It. From tho Indianapolis Journal.
