The first freight cars built for the Penn
sylvania Railroad carried six tons; then
their carrying capacity was increased to
eight, ten, twelve, fifteen, and they are
now building them to carry twenty tons.
The next jump will be thirty tons, not Of
grain, but iron and other weighty freight.
During the removal of the wreck of the
Pittsburg fire one car brought to this city
at one load, thirty-five tons net Of the de-
bris. Seventeen tons Of coal are carried
now in some coal hOppers. The immense
traffic on the road comparatively requires
larger carrying capacity than light cars.

Fannie DaVenPOrt's Black Eye
Last summer Fannie Davenport brought home
from California, among her other trophies very
hands ONE century plant. This rare exotic she
attsn ded with all the lavish care she expends
upon her numerous pets. One afternoon, just
before preparing for the theater in the early part
OF the present season, she was watering her plant
put forth its Centennial blossoms-When by ac-
cident, her right eye came in violent collision
with It. The blow was sudden and sharp, and
the luckless beauty had, within FIVE minute to
(hlle de cRmbre) happend TO have applied once
before, to bruise on her arm some Of Giles Lin
cfe for all such unsightly cOntusions. The sec
Ond application removed the swelling and dis
coloratiOn in halt an hour. Fannie Davenport Is,
therefore. one OF DR.. Giles warmest admirers.

The Washington correspondent of the

John G. Thompson has been overheard to
say that the Democrats of Ohio cannot
elect Ewing. Several correspondents of
Southern papers aver that it is freely ad-

With Ohio lost to the Democrats, where
goes the union, according to Ewing's pre-

The yellow fever having made its appear
ance within few days at Memphis, Tenn,
much alarm has been created and the popu-
lation have been fleeing in considerable
numbers. Physicians call the several cases
that have occurred sporadic, but the fact
that they are actual and genuine, leaves
the apprehension undiminished. Another
fact that the disease has had a spontaneous
advent, and in so northern locality, rath-
er justifes the idea that has been mooted
that another run Of the disease this season
was to be expected.

Queen Victoria objects seriously to the
fashion of wearing the hair in fringe across

in that fashion, nor to don high-heeled
boots, nor to wear tied-back gowns. Last

The mystery Of the Hull murder being
cleared up, there follows upon its heels, an
other that rivals it in mystery. Mr.. John
F. Seymour, brother-in-law of Bishop
Seymour, was found dead last Friday night
week, in the grounds of the General Theo-
logical Seminary, shot through the heart.
Mr.. S. and wife kept house for the Bishop,
who is a bachelor. The Seminary grounds
have been rather resort for tramps, and
it was Mr.. Seymour's habit to drive out in
truders before closing the doors. Fri
day nighthe had gone out as usual, and
did not return, and his wife becoming
alarmed, she awoke her brother, and the
two made search of the grounds, and
found his body. An examination showed
that Mr.. Seymour's death had been caused
by a single pistol shot. No weapon was
found, and no traces Of a struggle. The
general opinion is that he may have been
killed by a stray shot.

be amply sufficient 10 satisfy the ambition
of the county, if our contemporaries could
manage to stand it. From the puffs that

The good news that there are no more
cases Of yellow fever in Memphis is elouded
by the fearful maliginity of the fever poison
so far as it has been developed. Thus far
there is not reported recovery. While it is
well that the panic is over, it would be uu-
wise to assume that the danger has ceased
to exist. There was an interval of week
last year in New Orleans after the first
cases, before the fever began to spread.
We may, however, reasonably hope that
the improved condition of Memphis and
the lack of material may prevent the spread
of the scourge.

precaution. Fortunately these seem to

will keep back $50, COO, GEO. Finding the
President still unmoved, they cried out,
IF You don't back down, we will refuse
you $4,000, ,0O0.' As this threat had no
effect, they finally held back $500, 900 and
ran away. 1t was remarkably well de-
veloped case of the small end of the horn. 3"

against James McHenry, of London, to re-
cover funds which he had obtained by
placing the second mortgage bonds on the

after three years of litigation in England.
The master of the rolls awards the compa-
ny $4,000, 900. Erie, which has suffered
greatly from lawing in the past ten or fif-
teen years, is thus out of the courts. The
