The QUESTION SoLvED.-We noticed
among the kilograms which came over the
wires, to the HERALD of this morning
that the steamer Canada, from New York
to London, had arrived at the latter port.
with lot Of peaches, in perfect condition,
and that they were eagerly purchased.
This should determine the peach growers
Of the Peninsula, to prepare to reach the
English markets next year. If peaches
can be carried successfully from New York
why not from Philadelphia? We hope
to see ere long steamers lying at New Cas-
tie wharves and up, for every great Seaport
Of Great Britain, of the German Ocean.
and the Baltic, awaiting their cargoes of
peaches, for these markets. Some time
ago we saw a price currant, or market re-
port, published in Copenhagen-where
peaches are quoted at about 40 cents each.
This is the bonanza of the future.

A Horrible Hystery.
ON tile Neu York Herald,


Two or three weeks ago woman, appar
emily about thirty years of age, moved into
apartments on the third floor of No. 291
Elizabeth street. Those who already lived
in the house knew nothing of the woman,
neither who she was nor where she came
from. She came and went without attract
ing any ones attention, so that her disap-
pearance since last Monday or Tuesday was
thought nothing of.
Day before yesterday William Herbert,
who lives with his family on the fourth
floor, complained Of bad smell in the hall
way, on the third floor. On Sunday the
stencil became almost unbearable, and Mr..
Herbert discovered that the smell originated
in the room occupied by the unknown
woman. Not liking the aspect of affairs,
he went to the Fourteenth Precinct Station
and reported the circumstance to the Can
tain. Sergeant McClintock was detailed to
proceed to the premises and investigate into
the affair.
On reaching the apartment the officer
burst the door open, when the stencil inside
was found to be simply horrible, making
every one who ventured in sick at the
stomach. The first room was found to be
in very disordered condition, the furniture
being thrown out Of place. A small room
to the left of the door through which the
sergeant and his party had entered was
visited and the mystery was solved. sus-
pended by cord from small inner window
was the swollen corpse of a woman, with
nothing on save scant nightdress. The
cord was cut and with thud the BODY fell
in heap in the corner.
Coroner Wo]man was telegraphed for.
and on arriving covered his nostrills and en-.
:ered the room. He stopped but mouent.

'ne who knew anything of the dead woman

When the fatal cord had been tied about the
'eck, but judging from the extent to which
had gone, the woman must
