RAuROAD DIsCRIMINATION.

The GreenJacb League copies from the
REGISTER the evidence taken before the
Special Legislative Committee appointed
to investigate the charges Of the Bslti-
more and Ohio Railroad, at its session IN
Wheeling, and in commenting thereon,
shows that this company is quite reasona-
BILE and just in comparison with the
Chesapeake and Ohio. That paper says;
What Is true of the Baltimore and
Chic, is no less true of the Chesapeake
and Ohio road. Indeed 1t is alleged that
the little finger of the latter is heavier
than the thigh of the former;
that the determinations of Garrett
are but as feather weight
compared to the extortions Of Hunting
ton. Every car load OF stock, every ton
of coal, every foot of lumber, every
bushel OF grain and every hogshead OF
tobacco carried from way points to mar
ket over the Chesapeake and ONO, Is
heavily, enormously taxed to enable Mr..
Huntington to carry the products OF dis
tant sections, from the oils OF PennSyl-
vanis to the grain of the far west,
ut prices that will enable him TO
compete with roads of larger cap
itsl, fully equipped with competing con-
nections. Every grszer, every miner,
every lumbermsn, every farmer and
every tobacco grower feels this daily in
the failing prices, or lowering starvation
wages to which he Is compelled TO sub
NIT. A Legislature with nerve and man
hood to exercise the powers conferred
on it by the Constitution, would seem to
be the great public need at this particu.
lar juncture.

COLOR IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL

The International Sunday School Con-
yention now in session st Atlanta, Ga,
has had fire. brand thrown into it by
the action Of the local secretary. 1t
seems that among the delegates elected
from Ohio was colored preacher named
AENETT, Upon receiving the list Mr..
WHIDBY. the Secretary, wrote TO AR.
NETT, telling HIM if be was colored
man he had better not come to Atlanta,
as be nigh. injure the cause in the
South This highly incensed some of the
Northern delegates, who advised AR
NETT to 60 to the convention, saying
they would sustain HE dignity at any
cost. ARNETT, however, concluded to
stay st home, and possibly avoided being
the cause of p serious rupture.

DIPHrHEgIA AND IFS EAVAGES.

And IFS EASAGES. /
In paper read before the Pittsburgh |
Academy Of Medicine recently by DR..
w. A. SNIvELY of the Board of Health
of that city, the rsvages of diphtheria in
Pittsburgh were ably discussed. Dur
ing the last five months OF
1877, three hundred and thir-
ty.six deaths were reported from
this disease and over nine hundred cases
OF it were treated by the physicians
This fearful number of deaths attracted
the attention, as was but natural, of the
authorities 70 the causes from which the
epidemic sprung. 1t WAS clearly shown
bv DIR. SH1vELY that the sewers OF the
town were toe chief, if not the
only cause, for the prevelsncy OF
this fatal disease Although Pittsburgh
is located very much rs Wheeling Is,
mon a hillside with q great river to carry
of the filth and slime from the sewers,
still with all her natural advantages, her
system of sewerage has been terribly
neglected. One sewer three quarters OF
mile long was cleaned in jan
uary last, for the first time in
twen.y-six years, and its condition when
closely examined was indescribably foul.
That such filth gstherers IS this should
breed disease is easily comprehended by
sny one, and the carelessncss of those IN
charge of them is most reprehensible'
The sewers were said to be too small, and
the waste pipes leading from sinks or
water closets in the houses had
also entirely too small a diameter. The
ventilation of these conductors was OF
the poorest kind at best, and in many
places there was none at all.
tits pretty much the case with the Sow
ers of Wheeling. As our natural faci.i-
ties for. drainage are so excellent, little or
no attention Is paid to our sewers and in
the close, hot nights OF midsummer,
those OF the cOnduits which open upon
the street become so obnoxious as to rem
der a near approach to them extremely
unpleasant, and they must have bad
effect upon the health of those living IN
the ueighborhood. Should any con
tsgeous disease become epidemic in thll
city during the summer months, its best
friends and aiders would be our boosted
but neglected sewers.

THE st. Clairsville Chronicle says that
Congressman DANFoRD feels so deep an
interest il the tariff bill now before the
body Of which he is member, that he
went back TO Washington 10 watch its
progress. Mr.. DANFoRD will support the
features of the bill to reduce the ex-
pense of collecting the revenue, simplify
the system, and place upon the free list
a lot of unImportsut articles which do
not yield duties enough to pay for look
ing after them, but will oppose those pro-
visions which would reduce the proteS-
ton now afforded TO such articles as
wool, iron, glass, &c. This seems to be
about the position OF our West Virginia
members also.

The Antecedents of Disease.

Among the antecedents of disease are
inertness in the circulation of the blood,
an unnaturally attenuated condition of
the physique, indicating that the life cur
rent is deficient in nutritive properties. a
wan. haggard look, inability to digest the
food, loss of appetite, sleep and strength,
and sensation of unnatural languor. All
these may be regarded as among the in.
dicia of approaching disease, which will
eventually attack the system and overthrow
it. If it is not built up and fortified in adj.

The King Case.

The Probate Court of San Francis
Co has decided that the estate of VIII
lam Scott shall be distributed to his
daughter. Mrs. Anna King. Her hus
band, j. G. King, married her against
the wishes of her father, wealthy
merchant and ship owner in Honolulu
Shortly after the marriage King shot
his father.in-law, the ball piercing the
lung. lie recovered and lived for sew.
eral years. In consequence of this
act, Scott, in his will, provided that
Mrs. King, his only child, could take
only $500 of his fortune, while she re-
NAMED the wife of James G. King,
but upon her becoming widow then
she was to have his entire estate.
The i'll feeling of the father toward
his son in-law up to the time of his
death did not extend to his daughter.
The most friendly feelings existed be-
tween them, and the object of draw
ing the will in this manner was to
protect her. Mrs. King commenced
an action for divorce in New York in
1874. One day King met an impor-
tant witness for Mrs. King, Eamed
O'Neil, coming down stairs from the
Office of the Referee in the case, and
shot him dead. For this act he was
tried, convicted of murder in the Sec
ond degree, and sent to prison for
life. Judge Myrick in his decision
held that King is dead in the eyes of
the law, consequently Mrs King is
widow, and entitled to the property.
King is now serving a life sentence
at Sing Sing. j. G. Merrill of San
Francisco was executor of the estate
of Scott under the will, and he now
holds large amount of funds belong.

to give up.
