Why a Woman Travelled i'm
a Mans Clothing.

She sat in the last cell of the
row at the Central Station and
looked very displeased. Over her
knees hung heavy dark coat
Her skirt was Of gray linen, and
about her neck was paper collar.
She wore a green neck tie, dark
vest,and dark pantaloons. Her
hair was dark and red, and it was
carefully parted on the right side.
She would at any time pass for a
gentle youth of about eigh teen
summers.
"Of course I'm woman" she
said TO an Eagle reporter. 81 told
them SO when we were arrested.
We came to this town by pike and
my husband took me out on the
hill near the cemetery where they
found us, where he said / might
wait until he brought our clothes
from the express Office. l had in
tended to change these mems
clothes for my own attire as soon
as he came out. / think it is a
shame for us to be treated in this
MANNER
She was asked why she wor e
mems clothes.
Because it is easier to travel
this way, and my husband and
myself can get along much better.
If a man and a woman travel
along the road, they are subject to
all kinds of abuse, but if two men
pass along, nothing is said to them
Another thing, if we want to stop
at hotel, we can do so much
easier if l dress this way, We've
been travelling a good long dis
lance together, and we've met
with a good deal Of trouble"

A BUSINESS OPINION.

The New York San of Monday
says Commodore Vanderbilt rallied
from his sinking condition, and had
very slight pain. He talked about
the trivial of business and thought
it would continue and that we would
experience new era of prosperity
until over- production and ouer-trdding
produced another revulsion. There
is little doubt that the views of the
great financier are correct. The real
and main cause of the great business
depression in this country, as well as
In Europe, was produced by over
production and over-trading. The
production was largely in excess of
demand, and hence decline in the
price of all manufactured articles,
and consequent stoppage of manu-
factories, and discharged workmen.

THE ELECTIONS.

The returns from Indiana and
Ohio, while not yet complete, are
sufficiently full to indicate pretty
certainly the result There seems to
be little doubt thatIndiana has gone
Democratic by frem 5000 to 5000
majority, and that OHIO has gone
Republican by majority somewhat
larger. This result leaves the Pres
idential fight in about the same con-
dition it was before these elections
were held. 1t was admitted by the
shrewdest politicians in both parties
before the election, that if both these
States should go Democratic it
would assure the election of Tilden !;
if both were carried by the Republi-
cans it would virtually settle the
Presidential contest in favor of
Hayes, and if each party carried one
of them it would leave the Presiden-
tial situation UNCHANGED. The fight
now will be lively all along the
line, with New York probably the
the central battle ground.
