TUESDAY. FEBRUARY Up W.
For the credit of the executive officers of the great
railway companies, il might he wished that the adj
iournment of yesterdays conference, without day
and without results would prove 10 be the closing
scene in the farce entitled Railway lIarmones'
Ever since last July 1.-The public has been
an unwilling spectator of weekly meetings
To arrange matters where "no disagreement ex-
isted" The palace cars of presidents and managers
have almost kept the steel-rails redhot by their
frequent trips between Baltimore. Philadelphia,
New-York and Montreal, and between the seaboard
and Chicago, in order that the officers might be
present at meetings. Yet all the time we have been
told that there difficulties to he settled and
there was no cutting of rates; that there Is not
now and never has been any discrimination against
NewYork IL the farce is not over 1t Is time Tor II
TO he. The people aud merchants have become
nauseated with it. But Ut Is not only at the East
that dissatisfaction exists. There is thunder all
around the skies. The Chicago Tribune says:
uis reported that lari is being carried from St Louis
to Gw-York nj 20 cents per 100 poundsbeing billed at
S cents and related The rate here Is 30 cents
the lard billed at 40 cents, with lcbate OF 10
cents The comparison IL od0us
Either one of these rates is sufficiently low to sat-
isfy the most exorbtant demand for cheap trans
portation and to ruin the railways engaged in the
business But it is the inequality of rates which
creates the disgust and excites complaint. AZ such
rates large gross earnings Will mpoverlsh the treas
ures of the railways more quickly than hight btsi-
ness will. But these facts serve to illustrate the
folly of attempting by combination to make busi-
ness which is sutli cient for only two lines support

Was IL Murder or Accidental Drown

Last Monday evening Thomas Kern,
lsborer seventy-four years of age, who
resided at No. 2308 ChsplIne street, left
his home and wandered away. Parties
were put on mis- track and traced him TO
place near Hobbs machine shops,
where he paid small bill about o'clock
the same day. He then went down TO
South Wheeling, where he WAS last heard
of about o'clock. 1t Is not definitely
known which wsy he went, but it is
thought that he went toward the river
and by some means was toully dealt with
as he mad a sum of money in his posses
sion. His family heard nothing of him
until Yesterday afternoon, when q dis
patch was received from Bellsire by one
of his sons, stating that the body Of
dead man had been found in the river,
near the bridge, and that he had in his
pockets q sum OF money, and from papers
found on his body, it was supposed that
the dead man was Thomas Kern, of this
city. William and Henry Kern, bis
two sons, went to Bellsire and recognized
the body as that of their father. The
remains were brought TO this city last
evening, and taken to his late home,
from which he will be inferred to-day at
230 o'clock.
Our Bellsire correspondent gives US
the verdict OF the Coroner's jury, which
is 10 the effect that Mr.. Kern came 10
his death by drowning.

was before Justice Mix on Tuesday
night, charged on the oath of Elizabeth,
an eighteen year old dsughter of Earnest

improper liberties with her. The evil
dence at the trial showed that the young
woman had visited Strickland for the
purpose of collecting bill. Mrs. $.
WAS absent i;om home and when
Elizabeth entered the room Strickland
pulled down the curtain and proceeded
to interrogste her about the size of her
foot. This was followed by taking hold
of her hand. In q struggle to get loose
her hand was scratched. Under all the
circumstances Justice Mix decided to
place Strickland under S5G bonds TO keep
the peace for SIX months and 10 pay the
costs OF the prosecution.

About o'clock las. evening one of
our city mail carriers, while on lis regu-
lar round, discovered the lifeless torn of
a man lying on Market street, between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets. Word
was at once sent to Justice VIM. Phil.

minutes afterwards, AMI At once pro-,
ceeded to empat ell q jury of six citizens
After careful examination of the body,
no marks OF violence being found, the
Jury were unable 10 arrive st any con-
cluslon as TO the cause of the unfortunate
mans sudden death. II being suggested
70 sead for medical expert, messsger
was dispatched 10 one OF our leading
physicians, who, upon arriving at The
scene, decided that q post norton exsmi-
nation would be necessary in order TO
reach an intelligent conclusion. An
opening was MADE in the dead mans
stomach, and after a careful auslysIs, OIL
horror of horrors! the doctor announced
that the man had died from the effects Of
poison. The jury, after celebrating
over the matter for some time, finally
came to the conclusion that no foul play
hsd been practiced on tie deceased, but
that death had been caused no doubt by
the mans having eaten bread in which
an adultersted baking powder hsd been
used. This should serve IS warning 10
sll hoasekeepers in particular, that they
be careful TO use nothing but pure goods,
