Railway Matters.

There is very little to be obtain
ed more than has already been
published regarding the terms of
the sediment of the Railroad war.
The question as to when the regu-
lar rates on Western passengers
and freight will be resumed is still
an open one, SO far az definite in
formation on the subject is con-
cerned. There appears to be an
opinion prevailing in, as we'll as
outside, railroad circles that the
New York Central and Erie Com
panies do not view with any favor
the combination formed by the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio Companies. This feeling, it
is thought, may possibly result in
delaying a full advance in western
rates. An official of the Penn'a.
Central Co., in Baltimore, scout
ed the idea of the two first named
Companies interpreting any objec-
ton to an advancement of rates.
He said it was well known that
both Of these corporations, though
having no hand in originating the
fight, had lost immensely by it.,
and there could be no doubt of
their willingness to adopt any
measures that would ensure last
ing peace. Freight contracts are
not being made in Baltimore by
either the Baltimore and Ohio or
Pennsylvania Company, except
from day to day. An official of the
former Company stated that on
Wednesday he could have secured
large amount of sugar to st. Louis
at 20 cents per 100 lbs, which was
not to be forwarded until Thurs
day Acting under instructions
from headq darters, he declined TO
accept the freight, and it was TAX
en- by the Northern Central. Con-
tracts for the shipment of Il special
class of freight 10 Chicago and st.
Louis were, however, made at II
cents and 20 cents respectively
The number of Baltimore & Ohio
tickets sold on Thursday was less
than for several days, which is par
TALLY attributed to the fact Of the
existence of the impression that
the rates will not be advanced t0
the extent and as quickly as de-
sired by the SPECTATORS. The Bal
timore and Ohio Company are still
compelled to supply their passen-
gers out Of New York with cou-
pons of the Pennsylvania Compa-
NY for the trip between that city
and Philadelphia, aas they are no,
yet enabled TO put their tickets on
sale in New York. In fact the sit
uati0n is unchanged regarding the
transportation Of Baltimore and
Ohio passengers between the tive
cities. Their baggage has to be
/ re checked, as has been the case
Flor months past and as yet the ira
yelling public has not been bene-
fitted by an Increase Of comfort
caused by The close Of the war.

A HOBOKEN SENSATION.
A Little Girl Abducted by Fashiona-
bly, Dressed Scamp.

The Jersey City Journal says /: -
About dusk Saturday night, a
number OF small children were
playing on Palisade avenue, West
Hob ken, and became frightened
at the suspicious actions of large
man, Who was quite fashionably
dressed. He approached Bertha
Frolick, daughter Of a conductor in
the employ of the North Hudson
County Railroad, and under the
pretence of purchasing candy, got
her to accom-. pany him down an
embankment towards the Bulls
Ferry road.
Her little brother wanted to go,
but was not permitted by the fell
low. He then began to cry,
and ran to his reside ice on
Cortlandt street and notified his
mother of the occurrences. She be-
came alarmed, and, as her daugh-
ter failed to put in an appearance,
she sent q messenger for her hus-
band, who Immediately commenc-
menced to search for the man.
The station housesin West Hobok-
en-, Hohoken and Weehawken
were visited, but without find
ing the slightest trace. He went
home to his distracted family in
despair.
About IL O'Clock while the house
hold was in an uproar she sudden
ly appeared and told tale of great
suffering. She was forced to follow
the man who closely questioned
her. He was particularly anxious
to find out whether her parents
were wealthy, and the little girl
told him her father worked on the
railroad; he seemed astonished,
and after some further detention,
she was returned within a short
distance of her home and desert eel.
The affair caused great excitement
and the police are doing their ut
most to capture the scoundrel.

TO Make BUSINESS for ITSELF.

(From the Wheeling Int, igencer, s27ttf.J
We had . call q day or two ago from Can.
tain II. G. Parsons, of Huntington, who is
iptnentially connected with the western ali.
vision Of the Chesapeake and Otie railroad.
and who IL labpring, with many more OF its
friends, 10 extrieate the road from its pres
ent financial difficulties. He tells us that
the company hes o plan under consideration
looking to the shipment of large
amount Of iron ore from Botetourt
county, Va, near the head waters
Of the James river, to Huntington, for
the use of all the furnaces in the Ohio Val.
ley. This ore, comprising some of the
specular aud henaute varieties, It's said can
be delivered at Huntington at such price
that it can be landed at Wheeling at a cost
not exceeding five dollars per ton, and pos
sibly for less. 1t is claimed that.-a ton and
three quarters Of this ore will make a ton Of
iron, such iron as is now being delivered and
sold at Huntington from Botetourt fur
mace at twenty dollars per ton.
1t is the desire Of the Chesapeake aud
Ohio Company to establish large business
in these ores, and TO this end they expect to
carry them cheap. Their programme Ia to
carry back coal from the .ksnawha coal fields
in the ore cars, just as it is ,ne by the Cleve-
iahN ANU L lttSDui Sh SVlupduy aiouS VIC IlHS
Of their road. This coal they expect to ship
by the James River canal, as soon as their
connection with 1t is completed, to the West
Indies and other markets. The company have
also a plan on foot looking to interesting
English capitalists in the development OF the
ore alluded to. They want not only to ship
ore 10 the furnaces of the Ohio Valley, but
to interest iron masters in building furnaces
in the midst of these Ore.tieldS. They claim
that iron can be made cheap enough in these
fields to enable producers to ship it to foreign
markets. They think, row that the era OF
cheap prices is upon US, that their advan-
tages are such as TO tell in the mtrket.
All we can say by way of continent upon
these hopes and expectations of the Chesa-
pcake and Ohio company is that we trust
they will be able to deliver good ores to our
furnaces at this point at 50 per ton. We
want some such competition 10 the Missouri
and Lake Superior ores. These ores cost
about 50 delivered here nov, and good -
ore would no doubt meet with ready de.

whose testimony Lodicia Fiedenburgh and
Albert Fredenburgh, her son, were con.
demned to be executed at Herkimer, De.
cember 3lst, for the murder of Orlo Davis,
90 aged cripple, last summer. She states
that she testified falsely on the trial; that
she and her grandmother, Mrs. Freden-
burgh, committed the murder, and that her
father had nothing to do with it. Albert
has written aetter to the He, aid declaring
his innocence, and intimating that Franklin
Davis, husband of his daughter and the son
