The railroad kings are moving Van

plete control Of the Union Pacific. Could,
it is stated, has now as many schemes on
hand as he can manage, and having al
ready realized fortune out of Union
Pacific stock, in buying at twenty and
selling for more than one hundred, is
willing to relnquish his hold in that
direction, that he may devote more atten-
ton to his southwestern projects, in
which he has lately become deeply inter
ested. Vanderbilt, on the other hand
wants to control route to the Pacific
coast, and it is believed that he will
never have better opportunity 70. ac-
complishing this desire than the
present. lie owns already 10000
shares of Union Pacific stock, bought re-
Gently, and is seeking for more. 1t is hint
ed that Vanderbilt, by making close traf-
tic arrangement between the New York
Central, Lake Shore, and Chicago, Buring-
ton and Quincy and then getting control
Of the Union Pacific, will have chain of
roads extending across the entire continent,
and, with his Northwestern property,
chain which will penetrate the wheat pro-
ducing regions of the country. He is close
ly allied with the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad people and it will not,
therefore, prove difficult to form power
full combination with them.

LOCAL MATTERS.


The pistol pop Is even heard in settle
ment Of family troubles. Such things
must need be as long as it is the fashion
to lug the revolver into every sort of meet
ing, social, commercial, political and even
business and religious meetings. Perhaps
good idea would be to make it unlawful
for anybody to 60 unarmed, That is scarce
" a degree worse or more dlsgraceful than
the present practice.
Within the last few days the Western
Union Telegraph company has reduced its
message rates 10 the same standard as those
OF It's rivals. Thus one step more has been
made in the inevitable series OF steps which
shall result in placing the cost of telegraph
ing within the reach Of everybody. This
not unexpected change in the rates of the
Western Union was brought about by the
continual opposition waged against that
company by its youthful and enter
prising rival, the American Union.
Up to the establishment of
the latter the former was enabled to de-
mand and to secure almost any prices it de-
sired In fact, it enjoyed practically
monopoly of the whole business. The new
departure will not iniure either company;
on the contrary, 1t will result to the great
benefit OF both, since, under the reduction,
the amount of business transacted through
their medium must vastly increase. The
commercial public is to be congratulated
that both companies are now pretty equally
matched, which fact insures permanent
continuance Of the present cheap rates.

Death from Grief.

From Cincinnati, Ohio, almost immc
diately on the revival of speculation as to
the Baldwin homicide, last March, comes
the announcement of the death of Mrs.
Hattie Baldwin, wife of Harry Baldwin,
the victim of that mysterious tragedy.
She died at an early hour yesterday
morning. They had been married scarce
ly three months when the husband was
shot in the street by some person whose
identity has not yet been discovered. Her
grief at the loss of her husband was in
creased by reports that. his killing was the
result of Edison with a woman of doubt
full character. This report has been dis
credited by testimony, but the mystery of
his death preyed upon her so that she
gradually sank until she fell an easy vic
tim of typhoid pneumonia. She leaves a
posthumous child only three months old.

Demand for u Court Martial of Sherman.

II. V. Boynton, the Washington cores
pondcnt of the Cincinnati Gazette, has pre-
fcrred charges and specifications against
Gen. w. L. Sherman, for ''cOnduct un-
becoming an officer and a gentleman" in
violating the laws of the District of Colunl-
bia, (which define and punish the crime of
SANDER 1t is alleged by Boynton that on
the 18th inst, newspaper reporter,
named COwles, approached General Sher-
man, at army headquarters, and asked the
generals opinion of Boynton, Cowles ex-
planning that he and some others associa-
ted with him had published Boynton as a
liar. and they desired the generals testi-
mOny on that point. In the conversa-
ton which followed, the reporter
acting in his capacity as such, Gen
eral Sherman said Boynton was 'en-
tirely without character could be ''hired
to do anything for money and was ''very
persistent and energetic in manufacturing
talsehoods.' The interview was published
in the Washington correspondence of the
Cleveland Leader of the 18th inst. and next
day Boynton wrote letter to Gen. Sher-
man asking him if the correspondent re-
ported his remarks correctly, express
ing the belief that. if the report was
incorrect, the general would disavow the
words attributed to him. Gen. Sherman
at once replied, acknowledging the receipt
of the letter, recognizing the report as that
of a young man who came to him saying
Boynton had slandered his father, and ad
ding '' said l thought you were capable
of doing anything for pay that SANDER
was your daily avocation, and as you had
deliberately talsified as to me, believed
you capable ofslandcring your own mother
for pay. This is hard thing to say of
any. man, but believe it of YOU For
these and similar utterances of General
Sherman, Mr.. Boynton requests that the
General be tried by a court martial.

mixed train due here, coming north, on the
Columbia & p. ID. r. II. came within our
borough limits, an aged lady was in the
act of crossing the track. The only and
timely warning was the keen eye of the

to cross the track. He whistlcd down
brakes as well as the signal of danger, and
she barely made her escape. The lady is
partly deaf. The engine was only few
feet from lrcr when she escaped.

HERBERT SPENCER, the English philosO-
phcr, is sixty years old. Having been pri-
vately educated, he was at first civil en-
ginecr. His forehead is high, and he is
quite bald. His face is long, and although
his features are not small he has an un-
practical and almost ct1eminate appear
ance. His portraits represent him as
resting his head against his hand, in the
Washington Irving style. Spencer is said
to have had much to do with the education
of George Elliott.
Much has been said in the newspapers
for several days regarding letter alleged
to have been written by General GRANT
before his departure for Cuba withdrawing
the use of his name as a presidential cam
didate. This story is considered the
merest bosh by many prominent Rcpubli-
can senators and members of the House.
There are good many pronounced Grant
men in the Senate, and not one of them is
disturbed by, or credits for a minute, the
statement thus put afoat. A Western
senator, who is pronounced for General
Grants nomination, said that he felt sure
that within short time the public would
fully realize the kind of warfare which is
just now being waged on him, and then a
reaction would set in and the Grant cur
rent would sweep along stronger than ever.

\ WRITER in the Examiner wants
light on the question why Franklin and
Marshall college is exempted by the
county commissioners from taxation on
forty-nine thousand dollars worth of
property? 1t is not exempted by the

opinion filed by Judge Patterson that it
