there follows some brief statements ex-
pressive OF the desires oil the Pennsylvania
Company as to rates which has already ap-
peared in the telegraph columns of the Sen
tinel.l
An examination of the reports of this
company for the past year will convince
every lair minded man that the averape
rates for transportation charged and re-
ceived by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
paDy over its lines are much below the
average of those charged by the
Baltimore Il Ohio. Il is true that
we give to our local business moderate
and fair rates, as compared with those you
charge the people OF Maryland and Virginia.
You have no foot of railway, or a
dollars worth of properly north of Bslti-
more, and yet you have enjoyed through
business connections and arrangements for
the interchange of traffic. There certainly
never has been time when you could not
have had the use of the properties between
Baltimore and New York on reasonable
and proper terms, and it seems to me most
unfair that you should attempt by the course
indicated in your message, to
GEORGE OTHER PARTIES
into spolicy that might result in great injury
to the property they represent. The opera
tons of this company are conducted with a
view to serving the public at a price that
will afford a reasonable remuneration to the
stockholders on theirinvestments No policy
could be permanent or advantageous which
disregards such purpose, and If the meas
ures to be adopted by the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company should produce the
results that you anticipate, there will be no
difficulty in understanding the motives
which prompted such a course. And be-
lieve the railway officers, and the tockhold-
ers that may be injured. will hold you, as
president OF the Baltimore * Ohio road

far as this company is concerned it is abund-
antly able TO take care of its interests and its

ment OF the questions presented by you.
Their solution depends upon your own ac-

THE FATAL RESULT OF A FOOLISH QUARREL
ABOUT A PIPE.

THE FATAL RESULT OF FOOLISH QUARREL.
ABOUT PIPE.
The st. Louis Republican of the 18th inst.
gives the following tragedy near that city: A
terrible affair occurred at $50 o'clock on
Saturday evening, in the saloon DIR.
Porter, at Carsonville. about nine miles from
this city, on the natural bridge plank road,
the circumstances of which seem 10 be as
follows: Daniel Manly and several others
entered the saloon about o'clock, on their
way home from st. Louis, where they had
been disposing of some produce. Manly
addressed Fred Gcss, young man who was
sitting in the saloon, and with whom he was
acquainted, asking him to lend him a pipe
Young Goss did SO, and Manly smoked a
pipefull of tobacco. after which the partv
took several drinks. Directly Fred. Goss
asked for a return of the pipe, and Manly
denied having it. Fred. insisted that il be
returned, but Manly persisted in bis denial.
David Goss, an older brother of Fred's, now
interfered and told Manly TO return the pipe
but Manly still refused. David then went
out and found the pipe in Msnly's wagon.
He came in and asked Manly whether he
meant his part of the transaction in fun or
In earnest. IL In earnest, it was little better
than stealing. Manly took ofTense at this
last remark, and told David not to repeat it,.
but he did. Manly advanced toward David,
who stood up and drew q pistol from his
pocket. Manly said he was cripple, but he.
was not afraid OF the pistol, and was con-
tinuing to advance when bystsnders in
terferred. David, however, kept bis pistol
in his hand, and when the excitement
had somewhat subsi0ed. Manly advanced
upon him and pushed him back against the
wall. David then raised his pistol and fired
twice, each ball striking Manly in the abdo-
men. Manly said that he would stay with
him as long as lie could, when David struck
him with his pistol. He then staggered
back, fell and died In few minutes Goss
said be was sorry for what had occurred. but
had warned Manly not to touch him. An
inquest was held on Manly yesterday, and
the above facts were elected A LARGE num-
Der of witnesses were examined, but this
was the substance of their testimony. The
jury held Goss responsible for the shooting,
and he was taken into custody.

There was a meeting yesterday at p.
NJ. at the Board o. Trade rooms of citi-
zens of Marion and Hamilton coun-

in this part OF the state. Mr. Ridenour. the
former president of the old road project.

sented section of country lying immedi-
ately between the 1. p. e. Chicago, and
the l., G. & l.. railroad, and that

an aggregate force of at least 30 coo men and
bows. About one-third are employed In
New England, three-fiftbs Of the balance
are employed about New YORK ana ,ns . pa,,

When the system of universal liability TO
military service is in operation, the Russian
army will consist in time of peace of 100000

local troops. To these will be added, In
time of war, 164 reserve battalions (205 ,000),
and 1879 depot battaliOns $4,000 mem,
making 100000 regular troops in all. IL
will take some time before these troops can
all be made available for active service after
war has broken out, but the following fierce
will be at the immediate disposal of the
government in such an event: 10000 field
troops, 120 900 garrison troops, $4,000 local
troops, 206, GOO reserves, 257, 900 depot troops,
and 10000 Cossacks. This will make a total
of .462. 900 men, or 163 900 more than the

our amateur bee men not long since, and
the intruder was found dead and completely

honey, but unfortunately, aroused the in

not tolerate; but, finding it impossible to
hustle him over the ramparts, as they do

work, and sealed him up in wax, hermetic-

THE AVALANCHE.
BY JOHN A. DoRGAN.

AS flake by flake. day after day,
On cloudy SUBMITS far away,
The snow is gathered silently,
Until whisper sets it free,
So in the poets heart is stored
OF thoughts and words a countess hoardi
Silently added. hour by hour,
But dumb, inert and void of power.
Till when the hour appointed calls,
And the far whisper family falls,
The echoing centuries along
Thunders the avalanche of song.

The correspondent of the London Times
says it is proposed to erect at Copenhagen a
bronze statue of Hans Christian Andersen,
who will enter on his seventy-first year in
April. The subscription is fixed at trifling
sum, in order that all classes and even chill
dren may take part in it.

New York is the city of magnificent hotels.
But few people know or understand, how
ever. the qualities necessary to the manage
ment of first-class hotel in New York.
Great tact, rare Judgment, fine nerve, and
what the Rev. Robert Collyer calls s'true
grit" all must be displayed in the success
full management. Sometimes all these fail,
but perhaps the most notable instance of
immediate and permanent success is found
in the steady and increasing popularity of
York. Combined with its management, to
a great degree, the Grand Central owes. its
fine success to the liberal plan OF adjusting
its rates according to the location of the
room occupied. This, with bill of fare
hardly equsled by any hotel table in New
York, six meals per diem, is secured at the
rate OF from So to 81 per day, according to
choice in selecting the floor desired.-New

MR. BOWEN THE HARLEQUIN OF THE CASE.
Again Ian ~ 1868 n still earlier date:


thank HIM for it. have not had line from him, but
have had two brief notes from Mr.. Greeley
And yet those calls thus social publicly made at noon

pose.
Now on the 25th of January. 1867. we have letter
from her, which is somewhat marked:
think in reference TO divers opinions OF Mr.;
Iiecchor as his remarks made TO Mr.. Bowen, and
they are embtered toward one another that what Mr.
b. said of you may appear very different through the
cOlorng Mr. Bowen may give 1t.
Ia ii not odd Now. far as can see, except Frank
Mouton and the counsel OF course, my adversary Mr.
Tton stands pretty much alone. But there Is one
friend, and that is Bowen. The man OF whom he
had the least to expect, makes his appear
ance on the stand, and, yet. it happens
unluckiy that poor Bowen gets more kicks than comp
mens on all hands for you cannot open an old letter
by this little to her husband but there is
fling at Bowen. You cannot have midnight walk be-
tween Frank Mouton and Henry Ward Beecher but even

that Bowen is treacherous" " he is traitor to you,"
he is traitor everybody else.' We have Bowen APP

Wherever We have hin, lie is appearing under son o

Becchcr himself, that. perhaps Mr. Tilton is more
cusablc than we supposed We had Bowen, who trained
Joe Richard. aud qualified him to make the appearance
lie did that sand that Bowen who trained Theodore
Triton; that Bowen to whom he attributes the origin Of
all these caumnes may perhaps have exercised over

to think that at early day 1867, Bowen, who
