IT is stated that the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company has purchased the Cleve.
land, Mount Vernon and Delaware Rail
road, just completed from Hudson to Col
umbus, a distance of 40 miles the object
of which is to give the Pennsylvania Com
pany western connection with Toledo,
but the travel west of that point toward
st. Louis would naturally take the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern route
At Hudson the new road connects with
the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad, and
at Columbus it makes direct communica-
tion with st. Louis. The distance by the
new route, which this will give, from
Cleveland to st. Louis, is 597 miles. The
distance from Cleveland to st. Louis by
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
route is 636 miles.

About three o'clock on the afternoon
of the st inst. Thomas Cook, of Louisville,
Ky, who has been absent from home some
time, went to the house of his mother in
law, Mrs. Malinda Rutledge, in Lindley
street, near Shelby, where his wife was
living. After quarreling with them for
some time he was ordered out of the house
by Mrs. Rutledge, when, turning upon his
wife, he stabbed her five times with a
pccket-lnife, infIicting three wounds in
the breast and two in the back. He then
turned upon Mrs. Rutledge, stabbed her
in the side and across the abdomen, kill
ing her Immediately, after which Cook de-
iberately cut his own throat. His wife
will probably recover. Cook is not dead
yet, but his recovery is doubtful.

IT will not be surprising if the queer re-
vival just now experienced at Washington
Court House, Ohio, is communicated to
other places. 1t appears that DIR. Dio
Lewis lately lectured there on temperance,
and Created an excitement that has been
spreading and growing more intense rs the
lecture has been discussed, until matters
have reached Il fever heat. Daily prayer
meetings are being held by the women of
the place, after which they adjourn to the
saloons, where they pray and sing with the
keepers and their customers. The other
day the ladies were given permission by sew
eral saloOn-keepers Co deposit their stock
of liquors into the gutter, which they pro-
ceeded to do amid great applause. Near

sign the pledge, and the ladies express
the determination to go ahead until alco-
hol is exterminated.

A SHORT time ago Grant accompanied
the remains of his fathcr-in-law, Col. Dent,
to St. Louis for interment. The following
dispatch, sent from that city at the time,
tells the sequel. In Grants case the trans
ition from .fuasraI to feast seems as
natural as it is easy:
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Dec. 22.-An incident
connected with President Grants recent
visit here is exciting some comment. He
came on Saturday with his family to attend
the funeral of his fatherin-law, whose re-
mains are laid in Bellefontaine G. mctery.
The funeral took place on Saturday, imme-
diately after the arrival of the party. Nes-
terday Sunday Gen. William 5. Harney,
one of the pall-bearers, invited the President
30 dinner party at his residence in Lucas
place. The rep;st is said to have hcen form
ri and elegant, and about twenty of the
Presidents friends sat down to it. The din
ncr will serve in history rs n companion
piece to the banquet given the first gentle
men of the nation by Postmaster Fiiley in
the house over which the red flag of a Uni
ted States official turned aucuoneer was
flying.

.JoHN SCoTT and Simon Cameron, the
two Senators from this State, both exertCd
their influence in opposition to the adop-
tion of the new Constitution. Scott at
tended mseting in Philadelphia at Con-
cert Hall, on Friday night before the cleo
tiou, and delivered a set speech against it.
The friends of reform and honest elections
in that city answered his arguments by
rolling up a majority in its favor of 81, 100.
His own county (Huntingdon} repudiated
him by endorsing it by majority of almost
2,C00. Cameron came from Washington
to Harrisburg on the day before the cleo
ton and organized his corrupt followers
for the contest, and succeeded i'll defeat
ing it in the county 10y a small majority.
Scott opposed it because he is the apollo
gist ana defender of the Pennsylvania Rail
Road and kindred corporations. Gamer
on hated it because he loves the Ring and
prOspers by its corrupt practices. Had
there been Scott or Cameron in every
county in the State, the result would have
been the same, and the voice of deter
mined people would have prevailed over
their most vigorous and united efforts.

THE ocean telegraph, as will be seen in
another part of our paper, announces u
sudden change in the government of Spain
On test vote in the Cortes, on Saturday
last, Castelar,, the present President of the
Republic, was defeated by majority of
ticeRty votes, and new Ministry was
formed with Marshal Serrano at its head.
What will be the future government of
that country remains yet to be seen.
The New York World which is gener-
orally well informed on the subject of Eu-
ropean politics, intorprets this new phase
in Spanish affairs as follows
The "details which this morning reach us
of the coup d efdt IN Spain are quite too vague
and general 10 Justify any serious and eX-
Tended comment. Thus much alone may be
safely and properly said, that the advent 10
supreme power of Marshal Serrano, Duke
of La Torre, is the deliberate assertion by
Castelar, and all the other real leaders of the
conservative republicans of Spain of their
determination to maintain At all hazards the
honor of the Spanish nation and the rights
of property and person in Spain. Between
the chaos of Spanish r;SliCalisIn and tho
abyss of Spanish absoiutiSm no other middle
term OF safety could well be dSScerncl
Marshal Scrrauo is not young man. lie is
not a brilliant man. He is not in any very
high sense of the term a Statesman but he
is a man of honor and n Spanish soldier
lie commands the con:idence of the Spanish
Army, as Marshal McMahon commands the
confidence of the French Army. And fhe
army in Spain to-day, as in France, is soci-
ETY. the army is order the army is law and
n aiional unity. Without the Spanish Army
Spain today slopes fatally downward to
vague dissolution and utter humiliation rs
q great people. 1t IL n new proof of the
lnagnaminity, the ahnegation, the genius,
and the patriotism of Seu0r CASTELAR, that
lc has re>oiutely removed himself from the
field of Spanish politics to make room in
this supreme hour for man who controls
the one great force by which alone Spain can
he saved. 1t would be Il great mistake TO
imagine that the advent TO power of Mar
shai Serrano means "A new dawn of hope for
the partisans Of monarchy. The names and
the quality OF the ministers who take power
with him suffice to prove this false All
that can be fairly inferred from the news we
this day publish is the defeat of NIL the
schemes alike of the federalist anarchists
and of the Carlist absolutists, and the tri-
uiuph, al least for the time, of that conserv-
atiye republic which alone stands between
Spaiu and national dissolution, rs be-
lieve that it also stands between Europe and
social auarchy.

MARRYING HIS MoTHER.-What they
will do next in'the Oil Regions is an open
question. The latest achievement extra
ordinary is of a couple who presented
themselves before a Justice to have the
marriage ceremony performed. The bride
was rather elderly say about forty-tive,
while the groom was but a little out of
his teens. However, as ''Barkis was
willin," the squire had no objection, and
tied the two in that knot that binds for
life. Since that honeymoon began it has
leaked out that the young man was n step
SON of the woman he had taken as wife.
The statute books declare marriage TO be
Illegal when contracted between woman
and her husbands SOC, but whether this
is void or not, is the province of lawyers
to say. The relationships growing out of
this event will be little curious. Should
there be any children they would be grand
children to their own mother, and the
boys would be brothers and the girls sisters
to their own father.

THE steamer Virginius, whose capture
on the coast of Jamaica by the Spanish
war vessel Tornado, followed by the exc
cutiou of fifty-three of her passengers and
crew, was lost in storm off Cape Fear. on
the North Carolina coast, on the Goth of
December. The Virginius had been
brought from Cuba, after her delivery to
a United States naval officer, to the Dry
TOrtugas, and started from that point for
New York in tow of the steamer Ossipee.
She was leaking badly, and being unable
to outride the violence of the storm, was
abandoned by those having charge of her,
and went to the bottom OF the Atlantic, rs
before stated. 1t has been suggested in
some quarters that the loss WAS a set-dp
job and did not result from unavoidable
accident. The official report, however, of
the officer in command of the Ossipee neg
atives the truth of such a charge, and
shows conclusively that the catastrophe
was entirely to be attributed to the bad
condition and general unseaworthiness of
the N;rginius. AS there was no adequate
motive for her wilful destruction, we are
bound to conclude that it was one of the
oft recurring disasters which happen on
that stormy and fatally tempestuous coast.

MADRID. JAN 3-In the Cortes to-day
the deputies on two votes gave majoritles
AGAINST CASTELAR,. General Pavia, who Is
a friend of Castelai, thereupon occupied
the palace of the Cortes and other public
bindings with force of fourteen thous-
and troops dissolved the COrtes and sum-
moned the most eminent men of all par
ties. including members of the present
government, only excepting Carlists and
intrausieentes to form new government.
This. Pavia declared, was the only means
for the salvation of the country. He refus
ed personally to become member OF the
government
The streets are filed with people and
there is great excitement, but no blood has
been shed. The majority i'll the Cortes
AGAINST CASTELAR, was 12O.
MADRID, Jan. 3-Midnight.-The final
and decided vote by which CASTELAR, was
beaten in the Cortes, stood 100 to 100, the
majority against him being 20 instead of
100. AS first reported. As soon as the re-
sult was announced, General Pavia sent
an officer to the chamber with letter de-
manding the dissolution of the Cortes
Senor Salmeron ard others urged Cas-
telar to continue in power, but their pray
or was refused, whereupon company of
municipal guards entered the palace of
Cortes and expelled the deputies.
General Pavia, with his staff, held n po-
sition outside, with cannon pointed aG
the building.
It is expected that the new ministry
will be composed of conservatives and
radicals, with Marshal Serrano as Presi-
dent.
MADRID, Sunday evening, Jan. An

pied by the military last night. The chief
civil and military authorities of all the
provinces in communication with Madrid
have telegraphed to General PaYia their
approval of his conduct. No disturbance
is reported in any quarter. The transmits
sion of private kilograms has been tempo
rarily suspended.
MADRID, Jan. 4-The new ministry has
been formed as follows President, Ser
rano; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sagssta I;
War, Zavala; Justice, Tigueralo; Agricui-
ture. Becerra; Finance, Echegarray; lnte-
rior, Garcia Rutiz; Marine, Topeta.
WAsHTNGTON, jan 4-Omcial advlces
confirm the main features of the Madrid
dispatches \ new government under Mar
shal Serrano is in process of formation.
As it was not supposed that the CASTELAR,
government would be of long continuance
a change was expected, but not i'll the
manner reported from Madrid, and there
fore the comp a etdt of Pavia excited much
surprise i'll diplomatic and other circles,
his name not having heretofore been men
toned i'll a manner which would occasion
even suspicion of such movement on his
part.
Speculations are freely expressed as to
the future, and the general opinion is that
the republican cause has been damaged by
lately reported revolutionary proceedings,
but official information thus far received
is of 50 meagre character as to afford no
basis for reliable comment.

4 CAR LOAD OF SILK WORMS EGGs.-
One of the most valuable consignments that
ever passed ''acrOss the continent" arrived
i'll Chicago yesterday afternoon. One
freight car contained goods whose value
exceeded So, 900, 900. The enormous cost
would be in itself a circumstance worthy
of note, but the peculiar character of the
goods gives to the affair additional interest.
The consignment was car load of silk
worms eggs, en- route for France. They
we're purchased in Y oilohama by the French
Government, and arrived in San Francisco
Dec. 10. Only three days were lost IN
transferring to the freight car, and Dec.
18th the precious packages commenced
their transcorrtinent journey.
In this country very few are familiar
with the silk worm and can have no idea
of the appearance of the eggs. In Eng
land, where the climate is less subject to
extremes of temperature the silk worm is
as common pet as the canary. Boys and
girls all boast box of thriving silk worms
and take as much pride in winding off the
golden thread from the cocoon as the youth
of this country in the possession of mar
bles and such toys. The silk worms egg
is about one-quarter the size Of a pins head
and the reader may gain an idea of the
number of eggs now on their way to Paris,
when he learns that on this Ole car there
are nine and half tons of eggs.
The eggs are packed in leaves, layer
upon layer, and placed in air-tight tin box
es, which are in turn covered with mating.
The car is kept at temperature below
the freezing point, and no light is admit
ted. The mating covered boxes are piled
on either side. There is nothing to be
seen there but mating, and the appear
ance of the boxes is certainly not indica-
tive Of the value of their contents. This
IS the first attempt yet made to import silk
worms via the United States, and if hu-
man foresight avails anything there is
every reason to look for success.-Ch Chicago

y committee having been appointed pre-
vious to the counting of the vote, to draft
resolutions declaring the powers of the
Convention, made the following report
through it's chairman, Hon. VIM. II. Arm
strong
That they have given their most earnest
consideration to the subject committed 10
them, involving as it does the powers of the
people to exercise their indefeasible right
to alter their form of government. ~ pro-
ceeding to which the convention was not a
party has in its effect and result brought
into controversy some of the fundamental
principles Of constitutional government.
The opinion that has been pronounced in
this proceeding contains doctrines which in
our Judgment ought not to be left unchal-
lenGed. We believe them to be subversive
of some of the absolute rights of the people.
We therefore submit for the action of the
convention the following resolutions:
l. Res0IUed, That this convention was
called by authority of the people as deter
mined by their vote under the act of 1871,
declaring that n convention should he called
to amend the constitution of this common
wealth and that that vote was mandate to
the Legislature which that body was not at
liberty to dlsobey or modify.
2. ReSoired That the constitution of the
State is the only recognized form Of its gov
ernment, and the people having expressly
reserved to themselves the right to alter, re
FORM or abollSh fhelr government IN Such
manner rs they think proper, and having in
distinct terms excepted this right ont of the
general powers of government and declared
that such right shall forever remain invio-
liable, this convention deems it to be its duty
to declare that il is not in the power of any
department of an existing government to
limit or control the powers of convention
called by the people to reform their consti-
tuition, and that the convention, subject to
the constitution of the United States, is an
swerahle only to the people from whom it
derived its powers
