Our amiabls contemporary. the Vir-
ginia CAruaieis. rather overdid itself yes
tsrday in its editorial remarks relative
TO the Virginia &Truckse Railroad CON-
pany and the great Pioneer picnic last
Saturday. The present management OF
the Chroaieis fell out with the railroad
authorities a short time ago in the mat

wal against the railroad company. ssizss

for trying to injuro the road.
its management and business in
tho eyes Of the public. But in
venting its spleen upon the railroad
company Il certainly has ovsrrsachsd
itselt by trying to bring the Society OF
Pacific Coast Pioneers into the matter.
A will 30 seen by the communication
from one Of tho Pioneers. which wspub-
lish in another column to-day. signed
"Forty-N Miner" the Pioneers resent the
idea Of being thus made use OF, and viii
not quietly submit to such misrspresen-
taiion. Tho Society simply made a con-
tract with the railroad company for a
curtain number Of cars for q certain stiP-
ulaied price. The railroad authorities
carried out their part Of tho agreement
to tho letter. and in . perfectly satisfac-
tory manner; the Pioneers will pay
the sum agreed upon. and thus the bar
gain ends. The Pioneers do not wish

Stewards Saratoga Investments.

A correspondent writes from Sara.
toga to the Philadelphia Times: A. T.
Stewart is just now our biggest lion,
and great sensation he is creating
here just at present among the local
merchants. You see, after spending
aS400, 900 on his big hotel, tho Grand
Union, he found that he had two ele-
CANT stores to let. With characteristic
enterprise he fitted them up in elegant
style, and is moving in stock of goods.
Now the storekeepers here, notwitl.
standing that this very day should re-.
mind them that ours is frCc country,
declare that A. It's. has no business
to come here to undersell them and
rule their trade, but the big merchant
does not see the thing in that light, and
laughs at the terribly exercised mer.
chants. Stewart is indeed remark
able man. He is a little, thin, wiry
fellow, with pale, thoughtful face,
light blue, reflective eyes, reddish, gray
short whiskers, and very quiet in man.
ner. He dresses in black, and goes
peerlng into every nook and corner of
the store in q way that makes his EN-.
ployes very nervous When talking he
invariably twirls his .eyeglass on his
finger or pats the palm of his hand
with black glove. When you speak
to him he looks at you .search,ngly for
moment before he replies, as if to
read you through, a habit that arises
from lhisswonderfulS faculty of reading
human nature. He is not 30 serious
as he has beea painted; on the con-
trary, he is foId of joke, and yester.
day, while experimenting the arranging
OF the goods in his store, he frequently
laughed at the ideas presented by his
managing man. He came up on Friday
night and passed the entire day in his
store. Indeed, i saw him there as late
as half past eleven O'Clock at night.
That is how he got rich, by attending
to his business in person. Stewart
| bought the Union a few years ago for
$3.50, 600. Since then he has spent as
much more upon thestructure in enlarge.
ments and improvements, until now it
| is the most extensive and perfect car
| avansary in the world. He and his
wife occupy suite of three rooms in
the hotel directly over the main. en-
trance. They have been finely but
not lavishly fitted up for him, each
window being provided with little
balcony, nicely shaded by the fine old
trees that extend along the entire front
of the hotel. Mrs. Stewart is mild
unpretentious lady, with an exceedingly
amiable countenance. and converses cor
daily with her friends. They are, in
fact, the most undemonstrative couple
here and one would hardly imagine, to
jndgel from their manner, Chat they
were. with one or two exceptions, the
wealthiest people 5in GAmerica. Mr.
Stewart says he intends expending a
further large sum on the Improvement
and enlargement of the Union next
winter. 1t is one of his pet projects,
and he proposes giving it corresponding
attention. '~ .H =

INDIA RUBBER SPIRITS
Tho Suddc, Departure OF Miss Kate King from
Ng-: Brooklyn Society. ~

The Suddta Departure OF Miss Kate King from
Nf-s Brooklyn Society. 80
Mrs. Jennie Holmes, the materializ.
ing medium of Philadelphia, has re-.
Gently resumed operations in BROOKLYN,
and the last issue of the Spirituaiist
Banner of Light contains IN account of
her devious and wicked ways, as OBJ
served by the Brooklyn eooiety of snir-
itualists. A committee of the society
spends six evenings at her seances,
furnishing her with the necessary
cabinet, at the Hooiety's hall, on Fulton
avenue. The conditions" were simply
muslin bag, loosely stitched together,
which the medium drew around her,
and its mouth was tied over her
head. Then she was seated in the
cabinet, and put out the arm of John
King through hole in the door.
Then she put out his other arm, and
then mis- iudia-rubber face, with it's
black whiskers, we'll known to PhiIadel-
phia fame. Then she put out Katie's
face, being her own, namely; but no
one found it out at the first seance. AT
the second seance two of Mrs. Holmes
black curls hung down over Katie's
face, and this 'gave rise to the sus-
picions." Therefore the bag WAS ex-
amined, and was found to have trick
seams which opened and closed by
pulling thread. It was suggested to
Mrs. Holmes at the third seance that it
would be we'll if the lady present could
hold her hands while the manifesto
tions went on. Another lady offered to
pin her to the floor carpet to see il
Katie would walk forth materialized
under those conditions. Mrs. Holmes
declined to afford these aids to awak-
ened thought. An extremely skeptica]
gentlem.n observed that John King
did not walk forth, and that his india.
rubber face had no breath in it's nos.
trils, while lovely Katie on the othe,
hand, always came forth in a white
muslin bag, and had warm human
breath. At the sixth seance, therefore,
Mrs. Holmes was sought to be searched
by committee of ladies desirous ot
discovering spirit-faces concealed about
her person. But to that she demurred,
and being disencumbered of her muslin
bag for the last time, became suddenly
faint and must have air. Therefore
she tottered from the room very sick
but the fresh air Immediately beyond
the door SO revived her that she rar
away like the wind, and never was
heard of in that place again. Where
fore, concludes the committee in its
report, "we think she was frand"-ol
words to that effect.

Southern and Northern Cotton Mills.


:. The st. Louis Republican considers
it fact worth making note of, that
while nearly all the New England cotton
mills have been running on short time
for nearly year, and several of the
largest of them have been compelled to
suspend work entirely, the mills in the
south have generally been running up
to their full capacity all through the
dull times, and still in full operation.
It is true these southern mills are not
declaring the 80 and 40 per cent. divi-
dends they declared prior to 1873, but
they are still making profit and giving
employment to their full complement of
operatives. The fabrics made at the
southern mills are in steady demand,
while those of the New England mills
are heaped up in unsold and unstable
stooks-the reason for the closing last
week of the Atlantic mills ut Lawrence,
Mass, whereby 1850 operatives are
thrown out OF employment, being that
tho company have surplus of goods on
hand which they cannot dispose of. In
addition to this fact, it is stated that the
Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee
goods are driving the northern goods OF
the same grade out of the market. They
could not do this unless they are manu-
featured at less cost-and this is the
secret of the whole difference between
the condi t:t, of the. mills in the two
sections.

his work; he had given poor Beck five
fatal stabs. At this junoture, a party
by the name of Brown, seeing what was
going on, knocked Jackson off from the
porch into the street with chair, and
while. he was down, Beck, while actually
the knife which had beeh used upon
him, he plunged it into Jhckson's breast,
giving him q fatal wound. Beck died
almost Immediately after being ,sepa-
rated from Jackson, and the latter was
brought to the county Jail. where he
fingered until Wednessaaav last, when
death ended his career. No one here
abouts knows anything of the former
career of Jackson; all that is known is
his statement that he was from Arizona.
Beck was considered peaceable man,
and leaves an invalid widow to mourn
his untilnely end.
