lug orderf to run some two miles east Of
Rathbun. They started on The order. and
had tagged some distance, and here it is
claimed that they were still tagging when
the gravel train running back wards failed
is notice the flag, and as their engine be
came unmanageable owing to some fault in
the ''packing' they were unable to reverse
and that the gravel train running 20 miles
an hout run with full force into them. The
man that was killed it is claimed was sit
ting on the front eLd of the caboose and the
conclusion threw him between the cars

he announced with regret to the mem.
bers of the McLane Guard that there
was no room for them at that time il
the Seventeenth Regiment, but at the
same time intmated that from appearan
ces there soon would be vacancy, anC
in that event he would be very glad tC
see them in his command. The him
he had given was understood to meat
that one or niore companies In the regi
ment were not up TO the inspection
standard, and that unless there wai
marked improvement they would bt
dropped. Yesterday Colonel Lytle re
ceved a postal card from Genera
Huidekoper announcing that the pro
ject Of maintaining company in Titus
vile had been abandoned, the note ad
ding: "Please inform your young mer

LOOKING 10 hESUMPIlUN OF
Specie PAYMENT.

Washington, u pril 10.--lt is evident
that the Secretary OF the Treasury is
disposed to do al! in his power to pu,
the country in Trim for specie payments.
His power in this respect is very lin
tied. At the rate which the re-
duction of the legal tender circulation
progressed, it will be from twelve to
eighteen months before the Treasury
gets back to the amount outstanding
when the panic Of 1873 overlook the
country. But already there is observed
to be less demsnd for the new crcula-
tion, and it cannot be expected that the
issue of new banking curreLcy will con-
tinue in the same proportion as during
the past few months. There 'ore, the
greenback con;rac ton will be scarcely
appreciable. AS to the silver resump-
tion clause of the great finance act Of
last session, it will amount to little or
nothing, but as it is regarded in some
sense mandatory, the S Secretary is max
ing all preparations to carry out the
provisions, and he is accumulating sill
yer bullion for coinage, aud new silver
pieces will soon be turned out from the
mint in large quantities. Nothing will
be easier than for the Secretary to put
out his silver coin, but under the
present circumstances it will be utterly
impossible for him to keep it in circula-
ton. The coin will be at premium
and will be sold to re6ners or exported,
and the only way in which silver coin
can be kept in circulation is by with
drawing and destroying fractional cur
rency 10 such an amount as to create
the necessity for small change The
Secretary seems to understand this, Tor
he has been steadily cancelling frac-
tioIal currency. In the last month
more than 100000 dollars of fractional
currency was withdrawn and destroyed
The present amount outstanding is
something over forty-four millions and
the Secretary will have to withdraw
some millions more before he can think
of issuing silver, and even then there
will still be chance of silver being
gobbled up if gold does not fall to a
lower premium than the present figure.
Many eminent financiers look upon it
as useless to undertake to put silver in
circulation until the Treasury is ready,
nearly ready, 10 pay out gold,

Some astonishment has been created
in legal circles by late decision OF
Judge Van Nost Of New York in a case
to which we have before referred. a
young girl Of tweuty.tbrce had deter
mined to marry man OF fiity-tVo. The
latter, before his marriage, seclotiy con-
veyed $50, ,OC0 of real estate in New
York city to his daughters as present.
The wife discove,iGg the fact after
marriage Immediately brought an action
to have the conveyance set aside on the
ground that it iraudulcntly deprived
her Of the dover right in the property,
which expected dover light was part OF
tie cons liberation which induced hen to
marry the man. Judge Van Worst de-
cided that the conveyance should be set
aside, and thus established the rule that
a wife had a dover right not only in
the real estate belonging to her hus-
band at any time during coverture, but
also in any real estate that he may dis
pose Of prior to his marriage and in ur-
der to torestall his future wiie's claim TO
dover, The consequence of this extra
ordinary decision, unless it be reversed
by higher court, will be to make the
idle to real estate decidedly uncertain.
What property owner whose property
has at auy iime within the last
twenty years beeu conveyed by an uu-
married maa who subsequently, married
Can be sure that such conveyance will
aot be set aside on the application ol the
wife. Judge Van Worst evidently rc
cards marriage purely as contract, and
holds that where the supposed property
of the husnaud is the inducoueAt lead
Ing The wife 10 marry him, the contract
becomes void if it can DC shown that be

Senator Ramsey, late chairman OF
the senate committee on postoffice and
postroads, has made a statement that
the express coWpanies had nothing to
do with the recommendation Of the
committee on the increased rate of pos
tage on third-class matter. Then Sena-
tor Ramsey ought to tell who did have
anything to do with it, and why the in
creased rate was laid. The postofiice
department insists that it did not ask
Tor any such measure, aud the reluc-
tance shown by MIR. Jewell in enforc.
ing it sufficiently confirms that. Not.
"ithstandiug Mr., Ramsey's statement,
there are the best of reasons ior believ.
ing that the Legislation was at the re.
quest OF the express companies, as it is
a well known fact that the representa-,
tives OF the companies were in Wash

Harrisburg, Epril 9.--It is impossi-
to speak with certainty as to the action
of the Governor on the act repeating
the Local Option law, but it is confden.
tly expected in Temp perance circles here
that he will file a veto of the bill be-
fore the 18th inst. If not voted BE-
fore the l7th, it will Oh that day BE.
come law by lapse of time. The
pressure has become very strong to
make him veto the bill. Within a lew
days the friends of Local Option have
made very formidable demonstrations
against his approval of the act. They
have very poiptedly declared that his
app oval Of it would ALLEVIATE tens OF
thousands Of votes from him in the next
Gubelnatorial contest, as they mean 10
make the battle regardless Of pariy in
case a llccuse systoin is restored over
their votes IN the Local Option couu-
tics. On the other hand, the friends
of license in the counties which have
rejected Local Option protest against
The bill because it Ia:gely increases
rates of license, 20 thst tie Te,upera nee
men and portion OF the liquor men
unite in asking him TO veto the bill. 1t
IS very embarrassing question, and
mad the Governor disposed Of it either
way at once, he would have encountered
much less hostility than will comfort
him now in any event.
