At the closest 1879 J-ainesR.Keene'LOKVNGE, Mo., March fl. llie
of San Francisco, counted up his first tnbniar rail ever made worolle.1
riches, some said at $19,000,000. No hereon Saturday at the MeKenuex
one put them below S13.000.000. works, and the event, frora tits novelty,
When he came to Xew York from Cal ,a"r2Ct?d,a re.at . denl "f. attention,
iforniahewas worth $5,000,000 and The tubular rail issnmethniKentuvU .
"played it up." He came in 1877 and new in practice, and the inventors and
(mtinnnthATlfiA. H hnntrht finQf.
mous quantities of stocks1 during the
railroad riots and when the disturb
ances ended prices jumped up in a
wjiy that added to hi3 "fortune faster
then he could have hoped for.
The terrible "squeeze"" he received
in wheat marked the beginning of his
downfall. He tried to "bull" wheat
aud took 88,000,000 in cash to Chica
go. He bought wheat, corn, pork,
etc., and sour. wheat went up under
his manipulation from less than SI
to S1.39. Then it hroke and he
bo Id out under 90 cents and every
dollar of the S8,000,000 was gone.
More wheat was offered than he had
counted on. Farmers were ready to
eat hay along with their live stock, to
get SL25 or SL30 for their wheat and
the stuff came from everywhere until
Keene was deluged. Keene at the
time, was "Jong" of the stock markot
When speculators found out how
much he had lost they pounced on
the stock market and bore prices
down. Keene's losses in Jersey Cen
tral alone were S2,000,000. Iu the de
cline that followed he kept going from
bad to worse uu til at last he was
obliged to quit.
Keene is an Englishman. When he
first came to this country he peddled
milk somewhere up in the western
part of the state. He afterwards
taught school for a time and subse
quently edited a newspaper in the Bed
river country. He was a natural
born gambler, and getting into San
Francisco he commenced gambling in
stocks in a small" way. "When the
Comstock mine excitement was at its
height he discovered that the ore had
run out He raked and scraped to
gether all he could and sold the stock
short Then he circulated the news
that the ore had given out. and the
Comstocks dropped like a plummet.
That was how he made all his money
and how he came to bo known as a
"bear," whereas afterward he was a
"bull" for the most part In the
Comstook operation he hurt Flood,
O'Brien and Mackay, the California
millionaires. He knew that if he
stayed in California they would lay
plans to "break' him and he came
east with his newly acquired fortune.
He is a great lover of poker and faro.
Keene has been a bonanza for brok
ers. L & S. Wormser, the well-known
bankers and brokers, are said to have
received Sl.500,000 in commissions
from him. Samuel Boocock is said
to have profited to the extent of a
million. Frank Savin of Savin &
Vanderhoef was paid S500.000 by
Keene. It was a common thing for
him to have S100.000 shares of stock
standing in his name at once. When
operating he chews up cigars by the
dozen and walks about slashing the
air with his cane.
CuUIbe Glasd With ScUsure.
Many persons may not be aware that
glass can be cut under water with
greatest ease, to almost any shape by
simply using a pair of shears or
strong scissors. In order to insure
success two points must be attended
to first and most important, the
glass must be kept quite level in the
water while the scissors are applied;
and, secondly, to avoid risk, it is bet
ter to begin the cutting by taking off
small pieces at the corners and along
the edges, and to reduce the shape
gradually to that required, for if any
attempt is made to cut the glas to
the shape as we would a piece of
cardboard, it will be most likely to
break just where it is not wanted.
Some kinds of glass cut much better
than others; the softer glass is the
best for this purpose. The scissors
need not depend on the state of the
edge presented to the glass. When
the operation goes on well the glass
breaks away from the scissors in small
pieces in a straight line with the
blades. This method of cutting glass
has often been of service when a
diamond has not been at hand, for
cutting ovals and segments, and,
though the edges are not as smooth
as might be desired for some pur
poses, it will answer in many cases
The two hints given above, if strictly!
followed, will always insure success.
Mr. Henry Becker, 2Gi George St.
Baltimore, Maryland, says that Miss
Eliza Schall, living in his family, was
completely cured of a severe chronic
cough by one bottle of Bed Star
Cough Cure, and experienced no bad
effects and no return of the cough.
Beblin, March 23. The Vossizhe
Gazette says Bussia is devoting a
large portion of her recent loans to
improving her naval strength. Ten
men-of-war are being constructed.
Five of them are the largest types of
war ships. Threo are plated cruisers
and two torpedo rams.
How He Got a Position.
"I applied for a positiou in a banking
house iu Wall street six months ago,
and although I proved my competency,
they woulu not take me. 1 had been

ing advantages: The rail will be prae-
ticallv continueus: the weariuj? sur
face can be renewed without displac
ing the whole rail; it is in two inde
pendent parts; the top or wearing sur
face can lie made of steel, while the'
base or under rail is of iron; it is low
and strong, with a broad base, secure
against side thrust of the train; it
avoids extreme expansion and con
traction and the creeping of the track.

The parts bolt together, and to the
ties, with a lag-screw, thus saving
expense and providing greater safety.
It saves power by the evenness of the
track. Being bolted together and
acting as one piece, the pounding at
the joints is avoided, and lighter, less
expensive rolling-stock may be em
ployed. As it is hollow, telegraph
and telephona wires may be laid in
the rails, where they will be secured
from wind and sleet storms which
now so frequently interrupt tele
graphic and telephonic communica
tion. Provision can also be made
for sigualing trains to stations along
the way. It will be'next to impossi
ble to break this hollow double rail.
The saving of metal iu making this
rail is estimated at from ten to fif
teen tonH per mile. Xo fish-plates
are used, as none are required.
While the tubular is a new depart
ure, and is untried, it has been sub
mitted to the judgment of some of
the best machinists iu this section,
who express their entire approval of
it Special to SI. Louis Ghhe-Dem-oi'rat.
