Running TIE Main Line Around Lancaster.
Tho most important work which the
engineers department of the Pennsylva-
mia has now under way is the straighten-
ing of the line at Lancaster-a work Of
considerable magnitude, ~ it involves the
building of three miles of new road from
a point about q mile and half east
Of Lancaster in an air line to the JUNCTION
of the two roads about that distance be-
yond the town. The curve through the
turn of Lancaster is very sharp, and there
is q bad reverse curve about mile east
of the city,. The short cut, which
will be completed this fall, will not Only
save $500 feet in distance but it will re-
move 35S degrees of curvature-3lm0st an
entire circle. The reduction is also equiv
alent to saving the haul of 2,OO) cars ono
mile each day, basing this ON the average
business of the road. The old station in
Lancaster will be used as before for local
trains, but all through passenger trains,
as we'll as freight, will pass over the new
line, going fully half mile east of the
centre of the town.
The Pennsylvania has pretty nearly
completed all of the extra work that will
be done ON tho road this year, and little,
if any, new third or fourth track will be
laid until spring. The four tracks now
extend from Philadelphia on the main line
as far as Villa Nova, little more than IL
miles but all the grading and bridge work
necessary for their extension as far as
Eagle is done. The road bed will be
allowed to settle during the winter and
track will not be laid until spring. Con-
siderable work in the way Of changing
grades aud curves is still in progress, how
ever. At Wayne the track on the line is
being laid as fast as possible, and within
a month the old road running close to
Wayne station will be abandoned and q
curve about 900 feet in length will be
taken out, the new line being the arc of
the circle formed by the road as now cOn-
structed. At COatesville similar work is
now in progress, and force of men are at
work near Gap station cutting down the
grade there, which is the heaviest ON the
division.

The revolver is not generally consid.
cred the most appropriate of arguments
in q religious controversy, but that's
what young man in Troy, n. Y, is
accused of using in the endeavor to in.
duce his sweetheart to renounce her own
faith and accept his. The frightened
young woman began to cry, the tele-
phone wire carried the sounds of her
sobs to friendly ear, and the beiligerent
young theologian was locked up. Here
was charming illustration of science
serving religion for if the telephone
hadn't been there to summon swift as
sistance, the young woman might have
been induced at the point of the pistol
to yield to the young mans religious
persuaSiveness. While this might have
been properly described as a triumph OF
the church militant, it could scarcely be
considered creditable missionary
achievement. The religion that needs
a shooting iron for weaponin this latter
day civilization isn't of much account.
1t turns out, However, that the would-te
proselyter was little out of his head
SO that it is not to he supposed that the
pistol is regarded as part of the true
faith.

Honor to Whom Honor.


It is but simple justice to say to our
readers and contemporaries abroad what
is we'll known to we'll informed citizens at
home, that Lancaster has no cause to
complain of her chief magistracy. And
tho New Era cannot be accused of par
TALLY when We bear this testimony to a
political opponent. We happen to know
that Mayor MacGonigle has been unceas-
ing in his efforts and tireless in his vigi-
lance in endeavoring to have the Lsncas-
ter incendiaries detected and brought TO
justice. But they are quite different
class of scoundreIs from those Colonel
Reigart had to deal with. A long course
of training in evil associations has made
them experts in concealing their tracks
and battling. the most vigilant surveillance
that was at tho command of the mayor.
Yet he persevered, and the capture of one
of the two worst of the gang is the first
fruits of his energy. As We said the other
day, this gang of tirebugs are approaching
their end.

THE VERDICT.


END OF THE Virginia DUEL TRIAL.
Garland Acquitted BY the jury Aassr Brief
Denbsrstion-The Audlsoce Directs
the Verdict With Applause.
The trial Of Duelist Garland came to a
termination Thursday evening by the ac-
quittal of the accused. Judge elect Hin.
ton made powerful speech for the prose-
cution, in which he endeavored to show
that the accused had not killed Addison in
seif-defense. but that his offense was de-
serving of severe punishment. Hinton
closed his speech at five O'Clock.
The case was then given to the
jury, who retired to their room
and in fifteen minutes brought in .
verdict of not guilty for the prisoner.
Garland was at once formally discharged
from custody. His old father was near
him when the verdict was rendered and
cried like child. Garland's friends and
relatives surrounded him and warmly
grasped his hands and manifested the ut
most joy at the result of the trial. As soon
as the verdict was made known to the
crowd outside of the court room cheer
after cheer was given. As soon as Gar
land could press his way through the i'm
mense crowd he was quickly surrounded
by friends aud heartily congratulated
upon the manner in which the trial had
ended. Everywhere Garland has been he
has been cordially welcomed. The result
was generally expected. No one dreamed
for a mOmeut'that a jury, especially OF his
countrymep, would convict the accused.
There was some doubt felt by the defeuse
about one of the jurors, a Northern man.
whom it was feared might have the anti
pathy entertained by many Northernors
to anything looking like dueling.
From the courthouse Garland at once
proceeded to his fathers house, where
his mother, sisters aud a throng of anxious
friends awaited tho result of tho jury's
verdict. By these friends the young man
| was received with every demonstration of
Joy. The members of t;le jury, all of
| whom were acquainted with Garland,
shook him by the hand after they were
discharged. Several members of the jury
stated that they had pretty we'll agreed
upon a verdict of acquitral before the ar
gument was concluded. One of the jury
said that the speech of Mr.. Finch, the
volunteer counsel for the defense, who was
SO aggressive and severe in his remarks
| upon counsel for the prosecution, had
| more influence upon the jury than that OF
any of the lawyers for the prisoner. After
the acquittal of Garland a nOlle prOsequi
was entered in tho case of Boswell and
James Roach, who were indicted by the
grand jury of this court as accessories to
tho killing of Addison. The acquittal of
Garland seems to accord with the public
sentiment of his county. Most of the
people have from the first been in SYM
pathy with Garland. From first to last
the case attracted mole attention than any
criminal trial known in Virginia for years.

Tho rawlings of AN Insane Scotch Woman
In the Hospital at Castle Garden.
"Give me spirits, for have work to
do" screamed in insane woman, who was
confined In a room OF tho hospital at Cas-
tie Garden. She sprang like tigress upon
the attendant who opened the door, and
endeavored to bite his hand. It was with
difficulty that he extricated himself from
her grasp. DIR. Chaplin, the hospi-
tai surgeon says: The wOman's 8
name is Euphemia Patterson, aged thirty
two years, and unmarried, from Paisley,
Scotland. She arrived on Tuesday ON the
steamer Anchoria, Of the Anchor line.
She acted SO wildly on board the steamer
that the captain was compelled to have
her watched, lest she should jump over
board. She was locked on one occasion in
cabin, aud she thrust her hand through
a pane of glass over the door and cut her
wrist. On tue night before she landed
she ran out in her night clothes and
screamed to the stewart: The ship is
going to sink save me- Her case seems
to be one of love, as she had cOrrespOnded
for some months with = man in this cOun-
try who bears the name Of Tommy She
gesticulates in threatrical manner and
shouts Give me Tommy! She is very
noisy. She spends her tune in screaming
singing psalms and rapping on the door.
She has brother in York street, Jersey
City, who visited her on Tuesday. She
will probably be seat to Wards Island
until she becomes less violent, and then
her brother will take charge Of her."
