A CLERGYMAN's WEE KILLED BY FALL.
Mrs. Magdalena Stuerben, wife of Rev. Claus
Stuerken, pastor of Emanuel Evangelical
Lutheran church German was killed almost
instantaueously yesterday by falling down q
Sight of steps at her residence. There were
nine steep steps down which she was pre-
epitated, breaking her neck. DR.. John A.
Connor arrived few minutes later, but she
was dead. ], He found on examination that
bhe neck of the unfortunate lady had been
broken by the fall. Mrs. Stuerken was in
her fftE-ninth year, and was quite stout,
weighing about TWO hundred and fifty
pounds. She had wound on her forehead,
aud when found by the officer was lying al
most on her back. 1t is conjectured, from
the wound not being more severe than it
was, that she may have advanced partly down
the steps when she fell.-Battimore Sun, 23a.

SHERIDAN has been authorized to pursue
raiding Indians to their reservations, If ne.
cessary, in order TO punish them for their
crimes. he made the appeal to be allowed
to do SO on the ground that Indian agents
had asked that white thieves who raid upon
the reservations be given over to the military
for arrest apd punishment. We do not
think the idea is bad, and it should be carried
out impartially. Property should be taken
and given to the rightful owner wherever
found. The reservation should not be ia.
booed from pursuit. Indian robbers should
not find that 'prisonei's base," where
they would be safe from arrest The only
way to punish properly marauding Indians
is to follow them until they are oyertaken
and punished. We agree with SHERIDAN

JUNCTION AND BREAKWATER RAILROAD
SALE TO TIE OLD DOMINION STEAMSHIP Con-
PAsy-OBJEcrs OF THE PURCHASE. "A meet
ing of the directors Of the Junction and
Breakwater railroad was held at Lewest last
evening, ut which the sale Of controlling
interest in the road to the Old Dominion
Steamship Company was ratified and con-
firmed and the sale became an accomplished
fact. For several weeks past, or since the
refusal of the Delaware railroad to purchase
MIR. BaumgsrdDer's interest, negotiations
have been quietly going on, and the fact of
the sale only leaked out day or 80 ago. 1t
is understood that the sale includes the stock
not only Of Mr. Baumgardner, but of Messrs.
Reed and Sheaff as well. The amount paid
has not TRANSFERRED, but we have it from in
terested party that the sum agreed on was
every near the amount named by Mr.. Hinck-
ley" when he proposed to buy the road, or
$4,000.
The object ofthe Old Dominion Steamship
Company, as gained from stockholders in
this city, is simply to provide feeder for
their line of ships between New York, Nor
folk, and Richmond, and the purchase is a
very natural one. For several years past the
Old Dominion Company have furnished the
steamers with which the Junction aud
BreakWater railroad has maintained its line
between Lewes and New York, aud it has
thus learned the value of the road and to
what extent its development is possible. An
important consideration in the purchase was
tbe fact that with the road heavy fraights
may be obtained for the steamers all the year
round. The peach constitutes the principal
shipments, and these occur at season of the
year when other freights are slack. The
truck has, for the most part, found its way
to market, and the cotton does not begin TO
come north until foil ; so the steamers of the
line can be very well employed in the trans-
portaton Of peaches during the dull months,
and the line become thus of greater value and
renunefative.- Wilmington (Del.) CONNER
