Railroad War AT Cumberland.

CUMBERLAND, July 2.-Considerable ex.
element existed in this city among the
friends Of the Pennsylvania Railroad In
Maryland yesterday when it was found
that the Cumberland and Pennsylvania
Railroad Company had placed an obstruc.
ton in the way OF the former road to pre-.
vent them from crossing their track at q
point near the Wills Greek railroad bridge.
The short line road intended to lay rails
down to the cement mill in case that route
was agreed upon, but they had no idea OF
crossing the Cumberland and Pennsylya-
mia Railroad until the matter was settled.
An engine and tender now lies on the
crossing to prevent the road from being
built over the Cumberland and Pennsyi.
vania track, and it is probable that a law.
suit will be instituted against the latter
company to compel them to actup TO their
agreement with the Pennsylvania Rail.
road in Maryland. Lively times arc ex.
pected between these two companies in
regard 10 the right Of way.

That Fourth or July strike.

CHICAGO, July 2.-The Tribune to.mor-
row will publish series of interviews
with the most prominent members OF
trades unions, in which they positively
declare there will be no strike or general
demonstration on the Fourth in favor of
the eight.hour movement or for higher
wages. There seems to be no indication
Of concerted action or general understand
ing between the wofkingmen. As re-
CARDS the strike Mr.. Goldwater, President
Of the Chicago Trades Council, says he
knows nothing Of any strike TO take place
this summer, and there is no truth in any
statement Of the kind that may have been
put forth.
CINCINNATI, July 2.-Mr. Van Patten,
now the Secretary for the United States Of
the Socialistic Workingmen, says that the
Socialists in Cincinnati will not celebrate
the Fourth Of July this year by demon
stration in the way Of a procession or in
any other way. In all the other great
cities OF the United States the Fourth will
be celebrated by professions by the Soci.
alists. The object OF these professions is
about the same as that OF any other Asso.
citation which makes display OF It's num-
Ders by marching in procession.

desire for economy, OF which so much has
been heard prior to that party securing
chance at plumber, seems to have faded
entirely out, and to-day an attempt was
successfully made to give Congressional

These clerks have nothing whatever 70 do
during the Congressional recess, but draw

Editors lInll lliSeueer, 7.5,ir'
Owing to the very discouraging reports
we received last month, regarding the pros
poets Of the new crop, we did not urge any
tobacco for sale, and only sold small lots
at a considerable advance above last years
prices. The total transactions have been
limited, embracing only about 200 hhds.
Home manufacturers bought several lots
Of air.cured tobacco at full prices, which
we think were nearly as high as those
which have been obtained in Cincinnati
for the same grades. About 10 hhds Of
scraps were sold at u cents per pound,
which tobacco heretofore was almost un-
saleable, Messrs. Bros Bonninger also en-
tered our market and bought70 hhds for
Lnisburg; they also looked at some OF our
stock, but we were not willing to sell, ex.

have great dilliculty to I'LL their contract,
and will likely have to submit to heavy
loss. 49,, :,
The extreme drought which has prevail.
ed for some time in Ohio, has, no doubt,
seriously injured the prospects OF the com.
ing crop, and although We learn that some
rain has fallen lately, still we think that
even with very favorable season from now
on. Int a small crop can be raised, and
therefore we consider 1t our duty to hold
for full advance.
We note that in Kentucky, owing TO the
moor prospects OF the new crop, the mar
kets have been very strong, and that
prices have been steadily advancing; &C.
cording to the latest Rdvices they had fine
rains there, which may materiallyimproye
the quantity, but still it is expected the
crop at best will not be large. In Virginia
and Maryland the weather has been much
more favorable, and from indications now
an average crop may be expected.
Up 10 date the German tax question has
not been settled yet The Tobacco Com

duty OF eighty.fve marks per one hun.

DETROIT, July 2.-The first day's races
OF the inaugural meeting OF the Detroit
Jockey Club, at Hamtramck Park to-day,
was grand success, slight shower
about 1880 P. VI. laying the dust and
putting the track in admirable condition.
Running races being a novelty here the
members Of the club being composed OF
our leading and wealthy citizens, together
with the well known reputation Of the
horses entered tended to attract a large
and notably fashionable assemblage.
The first race was for the trial purse OF
$500, second horse to receive $50; for all
ages, one mile dash. Eight horses were
entered for this race, but Lady Darcy was
subsequently drawn. Some difficulty was
experienced in efecting start, the horses
being restiye. The race was an exciting
one and was won by Incommode in l Al,
Zeta second, 1:444, and Clemmie e., third.
There were ten entries for the second
race, Michigan Derby stake, for three
year olds-$50 entrance, half forfeit, the
club to add $i0O 500 to second-mile
and half dash-but Enterprise and Clau.
dla were the only starters. The race ex-
cited intense interest, Claudia leading all
the way around, winning by a nose.
The third race, Club purse OF $3.50, sec
ond horse $50, mile and quarter dash,
was won by Largentine in 2:ll1; Bonnie

NEw YoRK, July 1.-The new iron pier
at Coney Island was to-day opened for
public use, and the bay steamers landed
thousands Of passengers upon it with
care and comfort. The swell of the ocean
isusually SO great at the island that the
wooden piers which in the past have been
erected have not been able to withstand
the breakers, and have proved almost OF
no use for the landing Of steamers. The
present pier is one thousand feet long, and
stands on 26O piles, all sunk to depth OF
fifteen or twenty feet In the sand, and
well braced. At It's end there Is a depth
OF twenty feet OF water at high tide and
fifteen feet at low tide, and steamboats, are
prevented from conclusion with the iron
work by fender piles. There are two
stories, the upper one being twenty.four
feet above high water and the lower
twelve feet The landings are made on
the lower story, which Is lined with bath,
ing houses, from which steps lead down
into the water. The upper deck is lined
with restaurants and pavilions. The
whole cost OF the pier is 100000. 1t Is
to be lighted by electricity. II 1t tsurvives

Three Desperate Attempts ut SeIEDe.
AtFuefIOn.


stFuctIOn.
DETROIT, MlCH., July 9.-Nearly ten
months ago Edward Wolfenden, brother
Of Frederick Wolienden, the Deputy Post.
master here, was compelled, on account
of failing physical and mental power, to
give up his position as Teller OF the Peo-
Pies Savings Bank. He became
afflicted with religious mania,
fancying himself too bad to live, al.
though noted as one Of the most correct
and competent young business men in
Detroit. Under this delusion, one night
lew weeks ago, he concealed knife in
one OF his shirt sleeves, and, after he had
ensconced himself in bed and his attend.
ants had turned their backs upon him, he
whipped it out and drew it three times
across his left arm, inflicting ugly wounds,
which nearly caused his death from bleed
ing. -....
His next attempt was on Sunday last,
when he obtained dose oi carbolic acid.
Monday evening he was taken to the Asy.
lum at Pontiac, and, when ascending the
steps leading 10 the main entrance, he
made another and still more desperate
attempt upon his own life. He and his
conductor had reached the top step, when
he suddenly threw himself backward,
evidently intending to dash his brains
out. He was caught on the instant, and
thus saved again from a suicides grave.
Mr.. WolIenden's social and business posi-.
tioa and family connection give this case
an unusual Importance, and to this may
be added, as giving additional interest, the
fact that every conceivable effort has been
made TO keep 1t from the public and es.
