Buicide Of a Prominent PIttsburR BEer-

PITTsBURG, July 2.-Wm. Kennedy,
one of the most prominent merchants Of
New Brighton, committed sui ide to-

He died almost instantly. The ause

barrassment and consequent m, al
distress. He had been suffering p
some months past with infiammatol
rheumatism, and was unable to give
his extensive business the attention it

excitement at that place.

1t is with feelings OF profound ssrrow that
we are called upon to publish the above. 'Tis
said that "death loves a shining mark and
never was a saying more fully exemplified
than in the present instance. Without almost
any warning, a happy and joyous household
IS made the scene of lamentatiOu and woe.
Within a few short hours fond and devoted
mother is robbed of a noble and dutiful son
father of the joy amt pride of his declining
years; sister and brother of a brothers love
and protection; and society of a Jealous ad-
Vocate and ever-ready heIpmate in all that
was good and noble. His life was but the
the history OF good deeds-sCorning mean or
ungentlemanly act, his character was beyond
reprOach. Energetic and attentive to busi-
ness; faithful in the discharge of his duties
both public and private, his life (had IL pleased
the Almighty TO have prolonged it) would un-
dOubtedly have been a success.
We feel that the attempt TO console the
family of the deceased for so great a loss
would be prepOsterous, but would direct them
TO bow without murmur to the inserutsble
destiny OF Him "who hath given and hath
taken away" We tender TO the family our
heartfelt sympathies in their bereavement.
We mourn with them over the loss they have
sustained, and trust that He " who marks the
sparrow S fall " will imbue them with strength
and foTtitude to brave life's troubled wave.

AuaIrIan Ladies'.

Mr. Fulton, OF the Baltimore american.
writes -" How do the Vienna ladies dress p
Well, the ladies of Vienna wear no bustles, and
We may as well speak plainly, and add that it is
because most of them need none. In all other
respects they follow the same fashions that the
ladies Of America adopt Their dresses and
overskirts have all the folds frills, pleats points,
rufiles, laees and trimmings that are to be found
in Paris, and their skirts drag in the dirt of the
pavsments just as those Of the ssterhood of the
rest Of the civilized nations. The only differ
ence that we have observed in this respect IL
that they wear all their understands with trails
also, and when the pAvements are wet and dirty
they let them drag much more recklessly than
the ladies Of Baltimore do. They seldom raise
them to avoid puddle, but move on as uncon-
cerned as il their skirts were trailing over vel.
vet carpet. How do the ladies of Vienna wear
their hair In answer to this question we must
inform our querist that most Of the ladies' wear
their oaon hair. Being compelled to dress it in
simple plaits while children, and until they enteI
society it is not pIemAturely destroyed by crimp-
ing irons, frizzing and twisting into. tight knots
but obtains its full natural growth. Thus most
young ladies have splendid head Of hair, all
their own which costs nothing"

A House Built in n Day.

The newspapers of Lancaster, Penn, publish
an account of the building of brick dwelling
house in that city in ten and half hours, the ma
terials having been prepared and collected on
the site previous to commencement. The house
is twenty feet by thirty on the ground floor, two
stories in height, and contains eight rooms.
There we're in all upward of one hundred work
men employed. The cellar foundation was al
ready laid, and at precisely six o'clock Friday
morning the men went to work. The Examiner
thus describes the labor: r

Tho CoaI Conspiracy.

The Providence Press says: There are two
facts OF much pertinency in connection with the
coal traffic in first hands. The four great ard
controlling coal companies of Pennsylvania have
increased their capital stock from S43, 900, 600
in 1864 to $50, 900, 900 in 1873, while the debts
have grown from s17 000, 900 in the former year
to $43, ,000 900 in the latter Putting stock and
tebt together the increase has been from $780,
900 900 to $133 900, 900, or 100 per cent.
Now during this period the increase in the
production OF coal is only eighty per cent,
showing that there has been extraVagant mis-
management or terrible swindle. Doubtless
both are true while it is inferable that the stock
has been bountifully watered to increase the op-
portunity or means Of plunder.
The watered stock takes ten per cent. diyi-
dend, which is no hetter than theft. Not salts
fed with fair dividend on actual capital, they
fctitiously create larger capital and on this
strike q dividend, 30 that it is really nearly
double its PERCENTAGE az declared.

The tFarmera' Question,D Out West-Bxces-
siEe haiiread Building
ILetter from st. Paul to N. Y. Times

[Letter from st. Paul to N. Y. Times
have talked much with intelligent Western
men In regard to the grOat dispute with the rail
roads. have not met one who defended with
out reserve the position Of the farmers. The
conventions on the subject have, in the opinion
OF those whom have seen, uniformly fallen in
to the hands of politicians who are merely using
the movement for personal ends By striking
at the independence of the Judiciary, and by
such direct assaults on the railroad companies,
the farmers have alarmed capital and produced
q muddle in regard to transportation never be-
fore experienced. 1t looks now as il the worst
sufferers would be Chicago itself, and then the
farmers, and, last OF all. the railroads. The lat
tor are thoroughly frightened, and are
drawing in sail everywhere, cutting down
expenses, discharging men, and making
ready for the storm. Woe to the company now
in the West which has to borrow money or place
bonor New railroads must rest. Old must no
longer live on credit LCapital s frightened. The
West for some years will have to do with less of
borrowed means, and build fewer - improve
ments." The farmers will soon ascertain how
much the West has depended on foreign capital.
But we should not be surprised at even more
desperate measures-st 8 kind of oonfiscation of
railroad property. There are many modes in
which this can be carried out. The healthful re-
suits of IL eli will probably be the stoppage Of
this excessive railway building, which has been
carried throughout the country beyond all reas
son, and leaving the West henceforth more to its
own resources. which will be quite ~ well for
both the Western country and the world
Still, whatever may be said of the present
mode OF attack by the farmers on the railways,
there is no question that the time has come for
vigorous overhauling of the whole interest by
the public. The favorte plan Of stock watering
has imposed on the public sufficiently long, and
legislation is earnestly needed in the general in
terest to check it, We're the practice entirely
forbidden by law, the community would enjoy
vastly more and greater advantages fran rail
roads The RlIpreme iudiffereuce of MANY COR
porations to the convenience and advantage of
the small local communities on their routes
should be corrected, if necessary, by the strong
hand.

THE WESTERN FARMERS AND THE
UGRANGE6 ~

There is discoRtent among the Western farm
ers and those of the East have been complaining
for three or four years that their industry does
not yield a fair remuneration. The former
Ascribe their troubles to the railways, whose
freight charges they declare are excessive, and
have organized the " Farmers Oranges, i" in Or
der to make an effective and general contest. No
ono can doubt that some part of their case
against the railroads is just. Too many of the
carrying corporations are notoriously tainted with
fraud. Their lines were badly and expensively
built, upon money borrowed at excessive rates
OF interest. Their officers joined with the con-
tractors in making heavy profits out Of the con-
struchon, and when the work was finished be-
came silent partners in all sorts Of " Fast
Freight" and " Palace Gar " leases, by which
their own pockets were filled, while the road was
skinned Furthermore they have put their
stocks and bonds into the gambling operations of
Wall street, have watered" the one, and dupli-
Gated the other and have used all the methods
of illegitimate speculation to affect quotations,
up or down, as their temporary interests die
tated.
Upon such railroads as these, grain cannot be
carried at fair price. The tariff charged is not
merely the cost of transportation, with fair
profit added. bnt it includes interest on the ex-
cassive, inflated, and nIly-swollen ill.,
vestments' represented in the road. Every
bushel of wheat moving from the prairies to the
sea-board must pay tribute to that fund, the
bnlk OF which may be found, not actually in the
roal, but lavished on Fifth Avenue. at Long
Branch, on Broad Street, ,ior elsewhere, by specu-
latiye and dishonest railroad managers.
Exactly how justice is to be had by the West.
ern produce growers from these plunderers does
not appear. II thev mean to win, they must ex-
psct long fight. amid encouragement and dif-
hcaties. They will be especially led astray and
cheated by many of the tricky and unprincipled
dsmagogues, who seeing the tremendous
strength of the movement in the wheat-growing
States, have promptly jumped into it, and mean
to reap political advantage for themselves
while it continues. The Oranges are using the
most effective means in this country to make
their power felt, when they enter politics, but
they are employing a weapon which hRs more
than one edge, and must be handled with great
caution and skill, in order to be an advantage to
him who takes it up.
