An Insane W0man's Freaks.

The Wilmington (Del.) correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Times writes
Last September an elegantly dressed
woman applied at the Clayton House,
in this city, for board. This was given
uer, and she created quite sensation
by her dazzling display Of jewelry, styl-
ish dressing and her superior conver-
sational powers. She registered as
Mrs. Abigail Fellows. and said that she
was the wife OF the Hon. Richard Eel
lows, Assistant District Attorney of
New York. This increased the interest
in the stranger. But few DAYS had
elapsed when the proprietor, Mr. Pyle,
noticed that her actions were strange,
and ne came 10 the conclusion that his
guest must be insane or very much ad-
dicted 70 drink. In n fortnight after
her arrival she set fire TO her room and
came near burning the whole place.
The proprietor telegraphed 10 District
Attorney Fellows 10 know what dispo-
sition should be made Of his wife, and
that gentleman telegraphed back that
he was bachelor. She became so
much under the influence Of liquor that
the hotel proprietor attempted 10 dis
possess her of ten bottles OF liquor con-
tanned in her trunk, and for this she
boxed his ears. BY instructions from a
New York lawyer she was put in an in
sane asy lum here, and after two weeks
treatment was released. She afterwards
haunted the different hotels, and at
length rented house in Shipley Street,
where she lived alone, drinking inces-
sanity and startling the neighborhood
with screams and the breaking of win
dow glass. The neighbors rushed in
and were driven out at the point
OF the pistol, with which she was
always armed. Every ring at her door
WAS answered at the point Of seven

Accommodation at Philadelphia.

The enterprise and energy of the
average American has never been more
clearly shown than in the investment
in hotel accommodation in Philadelphia
by capitalists and spectators. The re-
suit of all this will be for the benefit
of the travelling public; in addition to
the Well-established hotels. the various
new edifices erected in different parts
of the city have Accommodations for 25.-
900 visitors, and the charges will vary
from $500 to $500 per day. lodgings

The grand opening of the Centennial
Exposition at Philadelphia, took place
on Wednesday, May 10th. Over TWO
uuSDEAD AND N1SErY-oSE THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED people, it is said were in at
tendance, including the President and
members of Congress, and the govern
ors Of nearly I'LL the States in the
Union. The Inauguration exercises
consisted of the playing of Wagner's
Centennial March by Theodore Thomas
orchestra; an eloquent and impress

the singing Of Whittier Centennial
Hymn and Lanier's Cantata by a full
chorus. The exhibition was then
presented to the President of the
United States by President Hawley,~

Visitors to Philadelphia.

The hotel capacity of Philadelphia
is below the requirements for the year
1876. Though Accommodations have
been rapidly increased by the erection
of new hotels and the extension of
older ones, there is still a deficiency,
to meet which the Centennial lodging
house agency has been organized.
This is an association composed of
railway men, who early saw the neces-
sity Of bringing private dwellings and
boarding houses under some compre-
hensive system, whereby they could
be utilized by strangers unable to find
hotel accommodations. This associa-
ton has contracted with householders
for their best spare rooms, and have
secured daily accommodations for
nearly forty thousand persons in
rooms furnished equal to those of any
hotel in the city, with two meals Of
superior quality, at daily prices of
about one-half those charged by hotels.
The plan of operations is as follows ::
Coupons are placed on sale at all the
principal railway offices in America
and Canada where excursion tickets
are sold to Philadelphia, while like
coupons are sold in Europe. Each
coupon provides for one full days &C.
