Railroad Operations.
A SIGNIFICANT MOVE AT NEWARK.

HldNlFlCANT mOfE Al NEMAhh'
The p, w. & B. and the Delaware and Penn
sylvania Railroads, have, jointly, purchased a
tract of land of twenty-three acres located at
the intersection of the two roads, near Newark
The oatensible purpose of this purchase is for
the location of depot, but we'll informed men
at Newark think differently. They reason, and
not without some degree Of plausibility that
this quantity of land is not necessary for depot
purposes, nor yet for the location Of the neces-
sary "Y"s.
What, then, is it for That's the question
The well informed say the removal Of the P. W
& b. shops from this city to that point is con-
templated and, furthermore, that it is proposed
to make the junction of these two roads also the
head of the Delaware r. R., instead of Whining
ton. BY this change it is claimed that the dis.
tance to Baltimore will be shortened about
fourteen miles, while to Philadelphia it will be
increased only about three miles. We have ne
positive knowledge as to the real intention o.
| the two Railroad Companies in this purchase
| and submit what we have said only as the spec
ulations of prominent gentlemen at Newark
whose intelligence and standing in the commu
nifty entitle their views to some consideration.
This sale was consummated only last week
| The land was purchased from Joseph Griffith
| and the price paid was $3.50 per acre.

Attempts to Murder

The record Of attempted assassnations goes
TO show that it is rarely successful, when even
skilled men attempt the lives of great person
ages In 1857 Pianori who was subsequently
guillotined, actually seized the bride of the
Emperors horse in the Champs Elysees, in spite
of innumerable police agents in private clothes,
who constantly accompanied him in his pere-
grinations, and fired pistol a bout portdnt in
his face. The muzzle was 30 close that the shot
burned the moustache, but missed its aim, and
yet Pianor was reputed one Of the best shots
in Italy and France, and had practioed constant
ty for two years. Orsini's bombs were hurled at
the Emperors carriage before the Opera at a
distance Of four PAGES, and produced no effect,
except that of killing several persons who were
standing at a considerable distance from the
carriage. The Pole Berezowskis attempt on
the life Of the Emperor Of Russia, which took
place in 1866, during the Paris Exhibition, was
made urder equally favorable circumstances.
Berezowsld fired almost from under the wheels
of the Imperial carriage with six-bareled re-
volver; but an equerry-in ordinary, M. RAIN
bault, perceiving the danger, made his horse
rear, aud the bullet Intended for the Emperor
Alexander struck the animal in the chest. Even
then the pistol was misdirected. and would have
done no harm. Another striking instance (
the same effect was presented by young Bindi
attempt ON the life of Prince Bismarck. BlinC
was first rate marksman-- he had won tht
Wimbledon Cup-and although he discharged
the six chambsrs of the revolver while grapplin(
with the German Chancellor, none of them tool
effect. There are many more instances of at
tempted political assassination, admirably con
triyed, and executed by fearless persons, whcl
have one and all failed on account of momenta
ry emotion whom the deed was being attempted

county, one of the Associate Judges of the

The history of this man is as singular as the
facts just stated He had had long quarrel in
early life, with his relatives, about the possess
sion Of property, and upon their complaint, he
was bound over to keep the peace upon com

her children, and was ultimately put in jail at
Georgetown, where, partly by his own action, he
remained Is years While imprisoned, a farm
which he owned was sold to pay prison charges
Finally his case attracted the attention of Judge
Wootten, who had him discharged, and after
protracted contests in the Courts, succeeded in
recovering from Draper's property, which had

''FLYr A oRAzHD GIRL AT THE KENT COUNTY

A correspondent recently visited the Aims
house OF Kent county near Camden and de-
scribes one Of the inmates, an Irish girl, who
goes by the name Of Fly" Her case is pecu-
liar one and sadly interesting. Some nine years
ago she was found in the woods few miles west
Of the Alms-house kneeing at the root OF a
tree engaged in the devotional exercises of the
Catholic religion. She was found to be hope
lessly demented and they conveyed her there,
where she has since remained Her antecedent
history could never be learned, and all the iden-
tity she has is the crazy girl Ely" Her parox-
ysms are mainly manifested in religious fren-

the Virgin Mary In her quiet intervals she is
passive and reticent, and sits crouched in gloomy
silence in one corner Of her cell. Occasionally
she resents real or fancied indignity in a pas
sion eonina in its violence.
