mentioned. Previous to this agree
ments, however, the State Legisla-
ture had again amended the charter
Of Duff Green's old Fiscal agency"
giving it large powers; this was done
February %, 1867.
In the course OF three trials,
JOHN D. ALLEY
testified that he went into the Credit
Mobilier Company in August, 1866,
the Hoxie contract having been as
signed to it in May, 1865, that Ames
was in it before, aud went in to avoid
personal liability; that when the
Hoxie contract terminated, j. M. s.
Williams, now member of Congress
elect from the Harvard College Dis
trict, took another contract To build
the road, which was not fully exc
cuted, but Twas designed to have
been turned over 10 Credit Mobilier
if certain legislation could be pro-
cured" which was not; that the
Ames party in May, 1867. turned
Durant out. who killed the Williams
contract; that out Of this quarrel
grew at last the agreement Of Oc-
tober 10, 1867, which brought in nil
the dividends. For the rest of the
story we refer the curious reader at
present to the Pennsylvania report
above mentioned.

severe form than was first anticipat-
ed. The greatest ratio of deaths
would be among those horses which
have been worked after becoming af-
fected.
In England, where it is said that
this disease is well known, it IS the
common practice to burn q few
ounces of sulphur on pan of GOALS,
five or six times daily, so that every
part of the stable may become fu-
migated; the sick animals being at
the same time well cared for and
blaDketed.'
The journal gives the following as
a simple remedy for the distemper:
Administer a tablespoonful OF
ground ginger three times day !,
mixed with their feed, and at night
the same dose, mixed with hot mush.
Ten drops Of aconite, given in two
ounces Of water, has been found to
relieve the cough which attends the
malady. Horslers and others whose
duty calls them near diseased horses
connot be too careful to avoid being
poisoned by the discharge of matter
from tie nostrils.

THE Woodruff SCANDAL.

A "Philadelphia Lady" writes let
ter to the Hartford Times, in which
she says:
And there are many who believe
her (Mrs. Woodhull), not without
reason, no better than a black-mailer.
For Mrs. Woodhull, then, in her
character of 'friend," maligner or
black-mailer, no just person can have
sympathy. But all this does not war
rant Mr.. Beecher, or Mr.. Tilton, or
Mrs. Z. Cady Stanton, in the painful
silence which they observe in this
important hour, nor does it justify the
United States authorities in keeping
Mrs. Woodruff and her sister in pris-
on upon a charge which they know
cannot be sustained.
The best legal talent of this city
has been consulted on the matter, and
the incarceration of Mrs. w. on the
charge of the diffusion of obscene lit
erature, as for anything contained in
her paper of November 2, is secuted
and denounced as IAN outrage which
menaces the liberty of American citi-
zens;" so we, as people, have some
thing to look to on this head. But
the man Challis may properly COM
PLAN of her for libel, and cause her to
be imprisoned.
Within week, at least, from the
first publication of the fearful story,
Mr.. Beecher should have come before
the world with dignified denial, if
he is innocent. His personal dignity,
his genius, and his pulpit cannot pro-
tect him. Only his own open decla-
ration can avail him now, unless it be
the denial of Mr.. and Mrs. Tilton.-
Has Mr.. Beecher no consideration for
Mrs. Tilton, in regard to the terrible
position in which she is placed before
the world by his silence? Has he
lost all Christian sympathy?
The correspondent goes on to say
that Mrs. Stanton has made the same
charges in this city and elsewhere, for
which Mrs. w. is now suffering i'm
prisonment, and dare not deny them.

PROSTATE form of the Governor on
the floor, he having fallen from his
chair, and Mrs. Geary giving orders
with great presence of mind and cool
ness TO paDIc-stricken servants and
the elder children. She refused TO
have the corpse taken up stairs, and
directed its removal TO the parlor, for
the reason that he was large in form,
aud therefore too heavy to be carried
TO the second floor. Other neigbbors
entered and bore the lifeIess form 10
the parlor.

HOW GOVERNOR GEARY DIED.
Death at the Breakfast Tnblc-Hnrrtsburg
shocked at the Nsws-The widows
Presence Of Mind.

HARRIsBuRG, Feb. 8.-The city
was thrown into great excitement this
morning by the announcement that
Ex-Governor John w. Geary had died
while at the breakfast table in his pri-
vate residence. Yesterday afternoon
the deceased returned from New
York, where he had been for several
days attending to business. In the
evening a number of visitors called
and remained IN several hours, and
after they departed the deceased and
Mrs. Geary retired, the family all re-
tiring also for the night. Nothing
unusual was noticed in the appearance
or bearing Of the Ex-Governor. He
was in fine spirits, conversed freely
with his visitors, and when he laid his
head upon his pillow was in compare
lively as good health as he ever was
in his life. AT the usual hour the fam
lily arose. Governor Geary was in
the parlor with the children
READING THE MORNING PAPERS,
And in pleasant conversation with
the whole family, until breakfast was
announced. At the breakfast table
the Governor occupied one end and
Mrs. Geary the other end of the table,
the children being ranged on both
sides. While, Mrs. Geary was en-.
gagged in helping the children nearest
herself, the Governor occupied him
self in doing the same with those near
him, and just as he was in the act OF
handing some butter to one of them
his head fell heavily on his bosom,
which Mrs. Geary Immediately no.
ticed and rose to assist him, one OF
the elder children starting for a ply
sician living next door. In the mean
time the servants came to her assist
ance, and when the doctor arrived,
which was not more than
THREE MINUTES FROM THE TIME OF
ATTACK,
The pulse Of the man had ceased to
beat and life was extinct. He uttered
but one deep and heavy sigh after his
head fell upon his bosom, and died
seemingly without acute pain.
In very short time the news Of
this sad event spread to all parts oi
the city, and soon the streets were
filed with anxious inquiries, seeking
either for denial or corroboration o.
the bewildering announcement. The
corroboratlon speedily came in the

Beading Matter on Every Page
How 70 CS0l the Air and settle the
Dust.

DIR. Toner, OF this city, who has given no
little attention 10 sanitary matters, suggests Q
mede OF lowering the temperature in the
nineties, and settling the dust at the same time.
This Is by converting the water thrown OF from
fountains, now In useless streams, into q fine
spray that will I'LL the atmosphere In the same
way that the spray-cups or atomizers, used In
SICK rooms, serve 70 lower the temperature and
q tile the dust aioat. To do the work thoroughly
for q whole city, IL might be necessary to raise
the water by force pumps, some four or five
hundred feet, when the fine spray thrown out
would drift over the house-tops and incorporate
itself with the atmosphere generally. This
spray as il settled would not only carry
with IL all particles Of dust afioat in the
atmosphere, but would at once, and mate
rally, reduce the temperature, as all know
who have witnessed the effects Of spray in cool
Ing the air. On a small scale we can see the
results when garden-hose and street-washers
are in play. In a larger way the effects are no
tced at Niagara. Kice-water were used in the
proposed diffusion of spray the effect in cooling
tie air would be much greater. or course 1t
would be desirable TO use these spray atomizers
only in hot dry weather, and not to an extent to
make the air damp. For the same reason they
Should be kept playing during the middle and
heated portion OF the day when the thermome-

OF using the water only in the morning and
evening.
