about one and half miles north of Glen Rrock,
this Thursday morning, at about y o'clock.
Mrs. Maria Lendin, wife Of VIM. Lendin, liv.
ing about % miles northeast of this place, was
standing on the north track when the south
bound Fast Line was approaching the crossing,
and the moment the engine came to the crossing
she threw herself in front of it and was fearfully
mangled. The body was brought to this
place and Coroner Brickly telegraphed for, who,
on his arrival, summoned a jury ofinquest, who
rendered a verdict that the deceased came to her
death while laboring under an alteration of
mind, by throwing herself in front of an ap-
preaching train on the N. G. R. w. about II
miles north of Glen Rrock, where she was struck
by the said approaching train and her head,
limbs and body so mangled and broken as to
cause her almost instant death.
The deceased was about 35 yeaas of age, the
mother of nine children, seven Of whom are still
living, the youngest being about three years old.
She has been suffering from mental arrangement
for about three months, during which time she
frequently threatened to take her life but never
attempted it. few days previous to the acci-
dent she seemed to be improving, and no danger
was anticipated by her friends.
On the morning of the accident her husband
left home early to go to a neighbor to work, and
it is supposed that she too, shortly afterwards,
went to the railroad, where she met with her sad
fate. No blame, so far as we can ascertain, can
be attached to the parties having charge OF the
train Glen Rock (Pa.) Item, June 26th.

A LADY's CoMpLArNT--Ihe following letter
from O lady Of Freeland's Station, Baltimore
county, appeared in the Baltimore american of q
late date, and has been handed to US with re-
quest that we publish it. The writer says:
"We of the upper end of Baltimore county fed
oppressed on account of our railway facilities to
reach your city, which is both too expensive and
inaccessible, as is proven by the following:
ga person residing on the line of the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, the
same distance from Baltimore that we are is fur
nished by that road, for one hundred dollars,
ticket that carries the holder to the city and re-
turn home every day for one entire year, in the
aggregate over thirty thousand miles, at less
cost than four mills per mile of travel.
"In contrast to this, we who reside on the line
of the Northern Central Railway pay this road
six hundred and sixty dollars, at their lowest
Communication rate at a cost of twenty-six mills
per mile of travel. This is much too great diff
ference in fare. The thing shows for itself; the
cars leaving Calvert Station are usually well
filled, but when they reach Parkton few passen-
gers remain on the train, for the obvious reason
that between there and the city their rates are
more in accordance to other roads. Our neigh
bors across the State line, of New Freedom,
Shrewsbury and Glen Rock, fare no better than
ourselves. AS enormous as the transportation is,
the arrangements of the trains are equally as bad.
"A city lrlenu invited 10 spenu uay mere, he
must either leave the city in the morning at 1926
or in the afternoon to reach any of those points
by the cars; though if he be met at Parkton be
has the privilege of ten trains in the twenty-four
hours. True, there is more opportunity to re-
turn to the city by way of midday train
There is hardly railroad OF any note that does
not convey passengers to city earlier in the day
than lO:l5, as is the case in this instance.
"Both the roads referred to above pay div-
dends alike, viz /: per cent. per annum, and
should also do business alike. The Northern
Central boasts that their route is through the
finest country out Of your city, and no doubt
justly So as far as Cockeysyillc il is being built
up rapidly.
at is to be hoped that when The Pennsylvania
Central get the lease consummated that we may
expect some favorable changes, aud until then we
will have to be at the mercy the powers that be-"

WALL street was the scene Of another
little furry last Monday over some pro-
ceedings in the United States District
Court. The uneasiness prevailing is shown
from the fact that though the action of the
Court was immaterial it had the effect of
lowering the leading stocks as follows:
Lake Shore declined from col to 65 raj
lied to 6S and closed,at 65s. Western Union
advanced from 81 to 6l2, fell off to 500,
recovered to 6l5 and closed at SO. New
York Central advanced from 90s to 81, and
left off at SSi, the lowest price of the day.
Harlem declined from 112 to 100.
The furry is probably over but shows
how easy it would be to create trouble by
combination.

The Financial Situation at the Close of the
Week


The Herald on Sunday morning, in re-
viewing the situation in New York at the
close of the week, says there was not by
half so many wild rumors floating through
the air, telling of impending misfortune
and some other great crash about to occur.
On the contrary, the whole tone was cheer
ful, and men breathed, Or seemed to
breathe, more freely than they have done
at any time since the opening Of the Stock
Exchange. 1t is not TO be Inferred that
the market will be confined TO its present
attitude or that prices will not recede even
from present figures, but it may be strongly
assured that there are less of powerful aud
artificial agencies at work to prevent reac-
ton than have existed for long time.
Money is coming out of Golfers and getting
into its old grooves. Fresh capital is max
ing its way to Wall street. Loans were
more easily effected to-day. There was a
good line Of deposits in the several banks
1t was also developed that number o.
the banks had made no use OF the loan GER
tificates of the Clearing House in order u
holster up their strength. The street ha'
been TO a considerable extent "weedeC
anti There are fewer depressing infiu
an ses. and altogether the atmosphere pre-
san, : a clearer and more hopeful aspect.
