Winter is harder on the train-men than any other class except the poor. In turn- met they auH'ar from heat bat in winter , to the biting cold Is added the danger of mishaps on the icy decks of the cars or the slippery rails and frogs in switching. Thoao folks who earn their money so dearly - ly and run such great risks are thankful for the delightful warm weather and ab- Bonce of snow. A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

It is reported that the Chicago & , Northwestern will before long extend its system from the Missouri river to a June tlon with the Central Pacific at Ogdon. Utah. Such an extension could bo made cither by prolonging the Black Hills line from Pierre , Dak. , ita present terminus , through Wyoming , or by continuing the Sioux City & Pacific through Northern Nebraska to Ogden. The Hallway Ago which seems to be unaware of the oxia teneo of the B. & M. and D. & R. G. , or else of the fact that they are virtually 0 il. & Q. extensions and give that road a complete system from Chicago to Ogden say a : ( n time wo believe that the Northwest' erii , the Burlington & Quincy and the Milwaukee & St. Paul will bo oxtendec ont to the Rocky Mountains and possiblj even to the Pacific coast. The valloyi and plains to bo traversed have resource ! and advantages now unappreciated am the advent of railways Into now localities will aorvo to dovolopo them. The Nortnwestorn would show an en torprlso that would bo well rewarded If 1 should bo the first to push out into thi heart of Wyoming territory and on to The Ago continues : It must bo tha the trunk and the Chicago and Miasonr river lines are carrying passengers simply out of bonovolouco , or the ploaauro de rived by themselves from such a charity , for , surely , at the present rates , there cannot bo any urofit in their action. The St. Louis and Chicago lines are also engaged gagod in a similar undertaking. These roads aroadminlttcred by officers who are paid salaries which go on just the name whether rates are maintained o not ; the properties are owndd , however by stockholders who , if rates are cu down to nothing , do not receive the divi deuds that would otherwise bo paic thorn. The situation reminds us of the fabl which tolls how certain bad boys amuaec themselves by throwing stones at froga in the pond. The poor froga at last spok np and said that , while throwing missies might bo fun for the boys , it was then death to them. This demoralization ol rates may bo exceedingly funny for to ticket agents and other railroad officers , also prooably to travelers , who are o course gl&d to got something lot nothing but is terribly rough on the stockholders STOCK BIIirilKNES.

J. , on Sunday , attracted a peed deal of attention in Chicago , both because tie waa at nno time well known here and also because ho loft hia remains to the Chicago Medical College for purposes of dlsaoctiou. In none of the published accounts of the nlTAir which have ap peared no far has the "Doctors' real history boon ilvon. Mr. A. T. Spencer , feeling keenly the poeitlon in which the "Do Caatro' children , who are Dr. Sponcor'o Brand- children , have boon placed , hnn refused to throw any ll ht on the eubjcct < * f the Buicldo'n early hlo. Two nephews of "Do Castro" hafo boon found. They arc Otto and Fritz Gollornp , very. intclllgoni young men , and carry on business nt 70 North Clark street. It oooms that "Dr. Ferdinand Do Castro's" real name wn : Ferdinand Kaatrup. Instead of being an * Italian count , n Spanish nobleman or any other nabob , ho could really only lay claim to being the sou of n very respectable spoctablo and very wealthy D. nlah mer chant , who did nn cxtcnaivu business h Copenhagen. Ho gave hia son a goot common school education , and also BOH him to college. After finishing his education Fordirand spent several years at homo. Ho had all the money ho wanted to spend. Finally his fathoi started him out with a pocket full o ; money , and the young man for several yean engaged in visiting nearly every country on the face of the globo. About the year 1805 , when young Kastrup wns something like 30 years of ago , ho oamo back to Copenhagen. Atorriblo opldom io in the nature of cholera was raging ir the city. The people , surrounded on all aides by dead and dying , gave themselves up to the gloomiest forebodings , for they thought the city would bo depopulated. The fertile brain of Ferdinand Kaatrup seized on the occasion to got his name prominently mentioned , and , as it after wards turned out , to feather his own nest. Ho sought an audience with the king of Denmark , which was granted. The young man olo- luontly presented to his majesty the terrible condition of his subjects. Llo urged on him the necessity of starting aomokind of popular amusement thai would turn the thoughts of the people from the terrible epidemic. The king fell in with the idoa. Kautrap's schema was to cot up an ethnological museum 01 Fair. llo urged that as ho had sponi years in travel and had visited all na tions , ho could , from the knowledge gained about the Inhabitants of foreign lands , present a correct living picture of their mode of drees and manner of life. The king consented , and though youmj Kaslrup furnished some of the cash , his majesty gave the most of it. Aftora.few months' hard v.-ork , Knstrup opened the museum. It was a Bucccaa frotr the beginning. The people ol Copenhagen Hocked to it and money poured Into the treasury. Kastrup handled all the funds , and at its oloso suddenly disappeared from the city with every cent of cnah. It amounted to thounandsand thouaanda of dollars. With his ill-gotten gains ho came to America , llcro ho spent the money lavkhly , enact Ing the role of a foreign nobleman , am lived in the height of splendor. In 1870 his father died , leaving him ? 30,000 , Kaatrup wont to Copenhagen , accurcv the money and married a lady of excel lent birth. Then coming back to America ica ho ia next hoard of in Waukcgan , III. whore ho purchased a splendid frul farm , calling it "Martha's Orchard , ' after hia wife. Mr. Paul Gollorup , fatho of the young men who furnish tills history , had an interest In the farm. Kaatrup entertained in an extrava gant innnnor. Daring this time his wife died and the widower became a suitor for the hand of Miss Sponcnr and sub sequently married hor. Kaatrup ran into debt and disappeared , leaving Gel lorup to pay the scorn. The Gollorups next saw him in 1873 , when ho turned up In Milwaukee and boarded with thorn a few months , Hero Kaatrup bloa- aomod out na Dr. Ferdinand Do Caatro. Ho had never studied incdiolno , but his natural ability enabled him to build up a fine practice. As ho had done before , however , ho ran into debt and again dis appeared. Thu Golloriips hoard that ho was practicing in Now York , nnd made ofibrta to find him , but were un- Buccoaiful. They heard no moro of him until they read the account of the aulcldo , Kistrup was ublo to speak five Innuuaxi'a and was a line musician. Aa an iiluKtration of hia unlimited con fidence in himself , it is. related of him that oncn when in attendance at a select party in Mllwaukuo ho boaitod of hav ing composed many Italian eongi. In really ho had only a smattering of Italian. llo waa immediately asked to sing ono. Without a moment's hesita tion hu eat down to the piano and sang a common Danish peasant's ditty. AB none of the company know either Italian or Danish , "Do Caatro1 was enabled to dcceivo his auditors. Ills nophowa in timated that driul : waa ttio chief ono of his falling.
