or ten miles, and every modern appliance
for combining the highest speed with the
most perfect safety has been adopted. The
company has built 200 elegant cars, with
engines of the first class ample to move all
trains that may possibly be required.
Centennial visitors will find the Pennsyl-
vania road the only direct route from the
West North and East to the Centennial
Exhibition, the rates as low as by any other
route, the time made by it the quickest, and
the accommodations for comfort, luxury
and safety unequaled Careful agents, on
all trains, will arrange for the prompt and
cheap delivery of all baggage, and, for fifty
cents, sell seats in comfortable carriage to
any point in Philadelphia.
Above all, these visitors will be landed at
the very doors of the Exposition, in the
beautiful Centennial depot of the company
represented in the above cut. 1t stands op-
posite the open space separating the Main
exhibition building from Machinery hall,
facing the principal entrance gate and the
Judges pavilion, and in close proximity %
several immense hotels and restaurants. 1t

The Pennsylvania railroad company,
whose lines penetrate every section of the
Union, and directly connect all important
points with Philadelphia, has made magnif-
cent preparations for conveying, with safety
and comfort, the millions of people who in
tend visiting the Centennial Exhibition di-
rectly to the acknowledgements. The loca-
ton of the Exhibition made it impossible
for any other railway to directly reach the
Exhibition buildings and grounds, and the
management, ever since the site was des-
ignated, has employed its gigantic equip
ments and unrivaled facilities to make the
Exhibition a success, by providing the
amplest accommodations at the minimum
price, for both exhibitors and visitors. 1t
was fitting that railway company ,nationab
in its character and operations, should thus
second the commissioners in illustrating our
cen!ennial history by demonstrating the
higa degree of excellence attained by the
railway transportation system of America,
in making the great thoroughfares uniting
the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi
valley, the West, Northwest and Southwest
with the Centennial City, as erfect as posi-
BILE in all its essentials and details.
Its routes follow the geographical chan
nels of continental inter-communication,

Two important discoveries The discovery

Golden Medical Discovery; the one opening
up to mankind a new continent, the other
fountain of health, which is indispensable to
the full enjoyment Of life and its blessings
In response to the above sentiments come the
unsolicited attestations of tens of thousands
of grateful patients, who have been relieved OF
chronic ailments through it's fundamentally.
These voices are limited to no one locality, but
from every city, village and hamlet in our
broad domain, as we'll as from other chimes,
and in the strange utterances of foreign
tongues, like the confused murmur of many
waters, come unfeigned and hearty commenda-
tions. tits, in combination with the Pleasant

age Under its benign action eruptions dis.

from the system, resumes her reign aad re-

All who have thoroughly tested it's virtues in

covery of the age.

southern shores of the great lakes, on the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers, and on the At
lantic harbors. The main road from New
York to Philadelphia, though passing
through the principal cities of New Jersey,
does not deviate six miles from an air line,
and this detection is due to the interposilion
of navigable waters. These routes not only
excel in directness as well as in the number
of important cities and towns they connect,
but they are confessedly superior in con-
struction and equipment. Between Pitts
burgh and New York, 444 miles, the entire
line is double track, laid with heavy steel
rails with joints connected between ties by
process that gives the effect of continuous
rail, on which there can be no unpleasant
Earring. All bridges on the line are of iron
or stone. A large portion of this distance is
provided with third track, which enables
freight trains to keep entirely out of the
way of passenger travel, end permits the
express trains to run their allotted distance
without interruption, and near Philadel-
phia, and other important terminal points,
four tracks have, for considerable dis
tances, been completed.
The Block signal system exclusively
used on the Pennsylvania railroad through
out its entire length, compels the engineer
of train to know whether the track is
clear or not to the next station, be it one

Liabilities of Married Women.

The New Orleans Picayu,ae says: In
the case of Mrs. Mary Pitcher VS.. Walter
Pugh and others, Justice Morgan
read the opinion of the supreme
court. 1t was held that when married
woman had been authorized by o Judge
to borrow money, and the mortgage was
executed by her after such authorization,
she could not set up that the money was
not for her own use and benefit; that
the holder of the mortgage note, who
acquired the same in good faith or in
the course of business, need look no
further than to see that the married
woman had been authorized to borrow
money. Evidence will not be allowed
to contradict her allegations, made be-
fore the judge at the time when she ap-
piled for authority to make the mort
gage. The concluding language of the
court is as follows: can, in our
opinion, which the holder of the note
under such circumstances has to show
is that the requirements of the law have
been complied with. And in this case
we think they were. It is therefore
ordered the judgment of the district
court be affirmed, with costs"

This depot is reached by circle of three
tracks sweeping from the main roadway
four-fifths of a mile long, and the diameter
of the circle they describe is 600 feet. All
trains will enter this circle heading west,
and depart from the depot heading east.
Three trains can be landing or receiving
passengers in front of the depot at the
same time, the entire tracks hring noorel
over, and no matter in what direction the
trains may come or go, they can be- moved
without confusion, delay or danger.
Seventeen additional sidings have bee
