The fact that forty-five Of the supporters OF
ex-Speaker Grow, who is o candidate for the

the republican caucus last night, is looked upon
as very unfavorable to the election of Mr.
Oliver, despite the fact that the latter received
the caucus nomination. Early last evening
Senator Wallace was advised by telegraph or

THE PRysA. r. RS NEW DEPOT IN
PHILADELPHIA.

A new depot for the the Pennsyl-
vanian r. Il. has just been finished NJ
the City Hall Square, In Philadelphia,
and hereafter cars will run by locomo-
tive down into the very heart Of the
city. The new station Is claimed to
be the most convenient in the world.
The following description Of the new
structure We take from the Philadel-
phia Record:
A first glance at the magnificent
structure is enough to convince the OBJ
server that il is noteworthy addition
to the ARCHITECTURAL beauties Of the
city. In appearance it is imposing,
without being heavy, and the eastern
front is a mass of tasteful ornamental
ton. The lower story of the building
Is built of massive blocks Of rough
dressed Fox Island granite, with an
open arcade upon the Broad street
front, supported by columns of polish
ed granite. The second floor, which
Is In reality the main one, Is on level
with the tracks OF the elevated extern
sion. Here the walls above the gran
tie base are Of clean-prcssed brick and
terra Gotta. At the north east cor
ner Is a square clock tower, surmoun-
ted by pyramidial root, which rises
to a height of i76 feet. The southern
corner Is terminated by gable and
pinnacles, while the cgrnice line Of the
Bruad street facade Is broken by two
smaller gables. which surmount the al
ternate bays or divisions of the wall,
aud which are marked On the main
story by the lofty windows Of poin-
ted pattern, with columns aud trace.
Ties Of terra Gotta, deliberately moulded.
These large windows light the waiting
room aud the restaurant upon The
front The facade is further ornamen
ted by vide oriel window at each
end by great variety Of terra Gotta
ornaments in high relief. including
five medallion heads above the large
windows, representing the FIVE races OF

Salt for the Throat.

In these days when diseases Of the
throat are 80 universally prevalent,
and in so many cases fatal. we feel it
our duty TO say . word in behalf Of
most efectual, if not positive, cure for
sore throat. For years past, indeed
we may say during the whole Of q
life of more than forty years. we have
been subjected TO sore throat, and
more particularly to a dry hacking
cough, which is not only distressing
to ourself, but TO our friends and those
with whom We are brought into busi.
ness contact. Last fall we we're in
duced to try what virtue there was in
common salt. We commenced by
using it three times a day. morning,
noon and night We dissolved
large table spoonful of pure salt
in about half . small tumblerful of
water. With this we gargled the
throat most thoroughly just before
meal time. The result has been that
during the entire winter we we're not
only free from coughs and colds, but
the dry hacking cough has entirely
disappeared. We attribute these sat
isfaciory results solely TO the use of
the salt gargle, and most cordially
recommend q trial Of it 10 those who
are subject to disease of the throat.
Many persons who have never tried
the salt gargle have the impression
that il is unpleasant. Such is not the
case. On the contrary, it is pleasant,
and after few days use, no person
who loves a nice clean mouth and q
frst.rate sharpener Of the appetite will
abandon it.-Ez.
