A Trojan Maiden's Flight and Cap
ture.

The St. GATHERINGS, Ont, Neos tells the
following story OF one of Troy's young
damsels, who thought she would have a
little romance in her life
A rather romantic affair TRANSFERRED here
this week. A beautiful young lady of
Troy, N. ", richly attired and gorgeously
bespangled with jewelry, not relishing the
treatment che received from her stepfather
ran away to Canada, and landed in st.
GATHERINGS. She advertised for a situation
as servant, and her application was re-
Piled to by the niece of Mr.. G., of Queen
street, who keeps her uncle's house.
When uncle came home she said she had
got splendid girl this time. The girl was
called in, and on inspection it was found
that she was arrayed in $3.50 silk dress,
that her hands were like the lilies of the
valley, with here diamond and there a
ruby, and yonder a topaz. Still, Mr.. G.
thought it might be all right. After tea
the girl asked to be allowed to visit some
friends in Center street, with whom
she was staying, promising to be back
by 0 O'clock p. m. But hour after hour
passed, and the disguised Mr.. G. retired
at the 4" wee sma' hours" Some time mex,
day in walked her ladyship with AN elderly
gentleman who stated that he was her ,un.
Gle; that she had no occasion to run away,
as she could have taken refuge at his place;
that she had never done any work in all her
life, ahd that the chase would cost him $3.50
before he got home. He tracked her to
st. GATHERINGS by her photograph. They
left for Troy by the next train.

Supposed Robbery and Murder in
Belvidere.a og

The North Troy Palladium tells some
queer stories about one Bradley Sherwood,
who keeps sort of hotel in Belvidere. 1t
is said that boy was traced to his house
who was known to have $50 or $50 about
him, but no trace can be found of him be-
yond there. There was talk of dragging
pond near the house for the boy, but
whether it was done or not is not known.
Another story is about an Irishman who
purchased two glasses of whisky there Of
Sherwood's wife, and handed her a five
dollar bill in payment, which, not being
able 10 change, she returned and asked for
a ten dollar bill. He handed her one and
she handed him twenty cents, which he
refused to take, and, snatchng the ten dol,
lar bill from her hand, ran. Sherwood
pursued him, presented loaded revolver
and demanded twenty dollars. The fish.
man gave hun fifteen dollars, all he had,
but Sherwood searched him, and finding nc
| more, gave him severe pounding. The
story has some features which seem impro
| bable, but Sherwood was arrested for the
offense and fined fifty dollars and costs, but
decamped without paying1t.

A special Washington telegram states

that the president has ordered the removal
of the postmaster at Ogden, Utah, not be-
cause he is a polygamist-he having but
one wife-but simply because he is Nor
mon. While we hail this presidential order
as an encouraging sign that the president
is about to take hold of the "Mormon
" question" as it is called, in real earnest,
yet we think the reason assigned for the
order is a very weak one The president
has no business to remove an officer on ac-
count of his religion. A postmaster has
as much right to be "Mormon, ;" as he has
to be Catholic, Baptist, Methodist or
a Presbyteran--a the one is as good
cause for removal as another. With Nor
monism, as religion, the president or the
nation have nothing to do ; it is only with
the Mormons, when they are actually law
breakers, that he has TO deal. If this
Mormon was a good officer and law abid-
ing citizen, why remove him? 1t seems a
good deal like strainlng at a gnat and
swallowing camel for the president to re-
move postmaster simply because he is a
Mormon, and for congress to refuse to ex-
pei the delegate from Utah who is not only
Mormon but criminal guilty of polyg
amy, ....i ....

The Rights Of Railway Passengers

A case involving the value of certain
tickets on the railroad was decided in the
supreme court at Portland, Me-, Monday,
Gustavus b. Broad and wife sued the East
ern railroad for damages. The plaintiffs
rode from Portland to Boston, using tickets
reading from Bangorto Boston. The next
day they started to return with two similar
tickets. - Ilels7.s 3".13 re'n
Conductor Pousland said that the tickets
were not good, because they were punched,
but said that they were good the other way.
AT Salem another conductor refused the
tickets and compelled them to get of at
Salem, and the next day they purchased
tickets and came home. The defense
claimed that when a ticket has been used
in part in one direction it is not good for
the balance of the Opposite direction. The
decision was for the plaintiffs for S714.

Eastern Freights.

A Chicago dispatch says the general
freight agents of the eastern lines after
considerable discussion Monday decided
to leave the eastern freight rates as they
are for the present, but an increase will be
made within few weeks. The meeting
determined upon the following rates for
the transportation of dressed hogs, the
same to take effect at once f: To Boston,
rs cents per 100 lbs; New York, 70 cents;
Philadelphia and Baltimore, So cents;
Albany, G5 cents Buffalo, 40 cents /;
Providence, 80 cents. There Is prospect
of a1ively fight between the Pullman and
the Wagner sleeping car companies
over an infringement of patent on the up
per berth arrangement, for which the Wag-
ner company pays the Pullman company
$4,000 year to operate east of Buffalo.
Now thatthe Wagner company are run
ming their cars in Michigan it is proposed
to begin a suit restraining them, and an eff

company from operating its cars on the

ate compensation-tw hundred dollars per
mile per annum being paid for transport
ing the first five thousand pounds of mail
matter, while only seventy-fve dollars is
paid for each additional six thousand
pounds but how the aggregate compensa-
ton paid to railroad company, which
carries the fast mail, can be reduced from
the amount paid before it commenced run
ming that train it is exceedingly difficult to
see. Notwithstanding the possibility indi-
Gated by Washington advices-and the
matter ought to be understood there-we
do not apprehend any danger of the discon-
tinuance of the fast mail from the reweigh-
ing of the mails.
But there ia danger to the fast mail
growing out of this matter of compensa-
ton, with which the mere weight of matter
transported has nothing to do-and that is,
whether the railroad companies can, for
any compensation the postofflce depart
ment or the country would be willing to
pay, afford to run the trains at the required
rate of speed II While this difficulty may
be overcome, it is more than probable that
if the fast mail train is not actually discon-
tinued, it will cease to be very "fast. u
The Boston and Albany railroad company
have already scented the danger and have
given notice that it will cease to carry the
mails from Boston and intermediate points
so as to connect with the fast train at
Albany. In summer, this matter of fast
mail is comparatively simple and cheap,
but winter tells another story. With the
road bed frozen, solid and will but the
least degree of elasticity, the expense OF
running trains with any degree of speed is
enormous. The "wear and tear" not only
to locomotives and cars, but, ano to The
rails, is very great at all times, and il
winter increases out of all proportion tC
the increase of speed. We, therefore, SET
at the advent of winter, a rearrangemen
of trains, a lessening of their number ant
decrease of speed. These winter arrange
ments are now being made, and the mex
| three or four months will determine
whether railroad companies with due re
8 ard to their property ard proper care TO
the safety of their employees can continue
the fast mail at the present compensation
or whether any compensation whateve
would be adequate to the risks incurred
Here, as we view it, is the real danger o
the fast mail l.l .fvs.

Death Of Strange Character in Sing
Sing.

The Albany Erpress says that in the ex-
ecutive chamber at the capitol Is a record
of an application for pardon tor John
Parsons, confined at Sing Sing for murder,
which Gov. Dix, after due elaboration,
granted, but which the prisoner, strangely
enough, declined to accept. This called to
mind by the fact that, few days since,
there died at Sing Sing the same John Par
sons, who had been an inmate of the
prison for twenty-three years. He
often spoke of his crime, which was
the killing of a companion almost by
accident, when he simply meant to
deal him blow, after being struck first.
BY years Of companionship and familiarity
1t seems that he grew to love the prison,
where at first he was an involuntary visitor
and, when ali the friends and relations he
once knew had passed away, he came to
look upon the hard, evil walls as his home.
Three years ago he was offered pardon
by Gov. DIX; he cried like child when
told of II, and begged hard to be allowed
to remain. He died in the prison.

Our Spanish Relations.

The following Is correct statement of
the relations now existing between this
government and Spain. 1t is true that
some important negotiations are pending,
but it is untrue that the question of recog-
nizing the belligerent rights Of Cuba are
involved. 1t is true, as recently telegraph
ed from Madrid, that an important note
has been submitted by Mr.. Gushing to the
Spanish government, but it is untrue that
this note is of peremptory or threatening
character. The stories about concentra-
ton of United States war vessels on our
southern coast are all moonshine. The
points which our government has urged
upon the attention of the Spanith govern
ment are these Four years ago
a commission, called the Spanish
American commission, was appointed 10
adjudicate the claims of citizens of both
countries which might be brought before
the commission. The claims which have
been presented are almost entirely those OF
American citizens who hsye suffered losses
in Cuba, and the decisions of the commits
sion have subjected the Spanish authorities
in Cuba to- large liabilities, which, under
the terms of agreement, will become due
one year from the expiration Of the CON-
mission. The commission expires some
time this month. Secretary Fish has taken
a great deal of interest in this matter, az
has the president. The work of the COM
mission being nearly finished, our govern.
ment desires to have guaranty from the
Spanish government that the elaine
of American citizens for damages "a
their interests in Cuba will be paid.
The Spanish authority in Cuba is notorious
ly weak and incomplete, and the American
note relates to the ability OF the Spanish
government to enforce ito authority and
keep Its faith with us in the payment OF
claims and the protection of American citi'
zens from further outrage and loss. The
note was presented at this time in order
that the reply Of the Spanish government
may be received in season to allow the
president to present a satisfactory state
ment of Spanish-Amercan relations to con

In June last, bill in equity was filed in

of the property of company, and they
therefore prayed that the money advanced
by them might be made secure. An answer

ARE THE FAST MAILS IN DANGER

In referring, Monday, to the manner in
which the postmaster general determined
the compensation to be paid railroad com
panies for transporting the mails-the
weight Of the mails being the material
point in its observation-disclosures stated that
the Inauguration of the fast mail train had
materially changed the relative Importance
Of postal routes, largely increasing the
amount of matter transported over some
roads while similarly decreasing that over
others, necessitating REIMBURSEMENT of
compensation and that, for this purpose, a
weighing of the mails would commence
Monday and continue until that work was
completed on all affected routes 1t is
now reported, from Washington, that
something more than the mere readjust-
ment of compensation depends upon the
weighing of the mails, that its result will
determine the continuance OF discontinn-
ance Of the fast mail. The several railroad
companies, over which the fast mail train
passes, have signified their willingness, as
1t Is understood, to continue the train it
their compensation approximates that re-
ceived under the old system, but if it
should materially fall below that they will
be unwilling 10 continue and will stop the
running of the train.
In passing from the old system of COM
pensation to that provided for by the act
of March 3. 1878, the aggregate compensa-
ton was Increased some sixteen hundred
thousand dollars for the year ending June
1874, the number of miles of railroad used in
the transportation of the mails being sixty
seven Thousand seven hundred and thirty
four and the aggregate compensation paid to
all railroad companies being nine million
one hundred thirteen thousand one hundred
and ninety dollars, being an average Of
something over one hundred thirty-four
dollars, slxty-fve cents per mile per an
mum. The postmaster general estimates
that the establishment OF the fast mail
will save the country twenty-five thousand
dollars per annum in the aggregate amount
paid to railroad companies--a mere drop
in the bucket and hardly worth consider
ing rs, distributed among the several rail-
road companies, 1t will not be appreciable.
We can very well see how this, or perhaps
even greater amount Can be saved by the
fast mail, as the larger the amount of mail
matter carried, the smaller the proportion
