The Erlanger system, when complete,
will have the shortest route to Cincinnati,
and be the direct competitor with the
Louisville Il Nashville and the Hunting
ton system for southern and southwestern
business, Already the Louisville ~
Nashville system is feeling the results of
thus combination, especially on the Bir.
mngham, Alabama, business, the Erlanger
line being twenty-six miles the shortest
route to that point, while on New Orleans
traffic the Louisville Il Nashville has had
to reduce their freight tariff ten per cent.
The Baltimore & Ohio and the Erlangcr
system will work in harmony on business
between Washington, Baltimore, and the
points south and southwest. This will be

will'' on the part of European powers,
would appeal as little to American pride
as to American hospitality. Those you
have invited may decline, and having
no cause to doubt their welcome, will,
perhaps, do so. This would not touch
our dignity.
Beyond the philanthrOpic and Chris
tian ends to be obtained by an American
conference devoted to peace and good
will among men, we might we'll hope
for material advantages, as the result of
better understanding and closer friend
ship with the nations of America. At
present the condition of trade between
the United States and its American
neighbOrs is unsatisfactory to us, and
even deplOrable. According to official
statistics of our own Treasury Depart
ment the balance against us in that
trade last year was one hundred and
twenty million dollars, sum greater
than the yearly product of all the gold
and silver mines in the United States.
This vast balance was paid by us in
foreign exchange, and very large pro-
portion of it went to England, where
shipments of cotton, provisions and
breadstuffs supplied the money. If any
thing should change or check the bal
ance in our favor in the European trade
our commercial exchanges with Span
lSh America would drain us of our re-
serve of gold coin, at a rate exceeding
one hundred million dollars per annum,
and would probably precipitate the sus-
pension of specie payment in this cOun-
try. Such result at home might be
worse than little jealousy and ill
will" abroad.
/ do not say, Mr.. President, that the
holding of peace Congress will neces-
sarily change the currents of trade, but
it will bring us into kindly relations
with all American nations. 1t will
promote reign of peace and law and
order. 1t will increase production and
consumption, and will stimulate the de-
mand for articles which American manu-
factureTs can furnish with profit. It
will, at all events, be a friendly and au-
spiciOus beginning in the direction of
American trade in large field which
we have hitherto largely neglected, and
which has been practically mOnOpOlized
by our commercial rivals in Europe.
AS Mr.. Frelinghuysen's dispatch, for
the abandonment of the
peace Congress, has been made public by
your direction, l deem it matter of
and justice to give this letter
to the press.

DEATH ON THE RAIL.
Mrs. Shoemaker Killed at ALI,
ance.


ALLIANCE, o., February 5.-Last Fri
day evening about $50 o'clock peO-
pie in the neighbOrhOOd of the depot
at Alliance were terribly shocked by the
killing of Mrs. ROsannah Shoemaker by
engine No. 66, of the Fort Wayne road,
and soon the fearful news spread over
the city and called forth general and
sincere expressions of deep regret. As
far as can be ascertained it would ap-
pear that the deceased lady stepped from
the platform of the SOurbeck House and
was looking out to avoid a section of No.
8 that was coming in from the east on the
main track. In doing this she stood on
the main track, and engine No. 66,
which had been in only short time
with the second section of the same
train, backed down on her, and the rear
trucks passed over her left arm, cutting
it off, and the bTake-beam so badly
crushed her body that she never spoke
again, and only lived a few minutes.
Mr.. W. IL. Reed, clerk of Master of
Transportation ROutsOn, was standing
on che platform at the time, and no
sooner saw the accident than he sent for
a stretcher and helped remove the body
to the conductors room at the depat,
where Mrs. Shoemaker breathed her last.
The remains were then removed to
ShaTer q Sons store. Mrs. Shoemaker
was much respected by all who knew
her, ana was sister of City Marshal
Johnson. She leaves a family of three
children. Deceased formerly lived at
COlumbiana county, and
the remains were taken there on Satur-
day for interment.

JURISDICTION OVER THE BODY.

There is some doubt as to whether the
relatives of Guiteau have any authority
to dispose of his body. Section $40, re-
vised statutes, provides that the court
may, in its discretion, order the body to
be delivered to surgeon. Whether,
said District Attorney COrkhill to-day,
"the court takes this course, depends on
the Judge. There is one thing thIt
makes it proper to ask such an order,
and that is the fact that the family show
so little feeling in the matter. The
statement of Mr.. ScOville, his cores
pOndence with that Tefrigerating appa-
ratus man, and his announcement of
what he intends to do with the money,
not on. show perfect disregard for

HON, HORACE MAYNARD.

The late postmaster-general and
minister to Turkey, the Hon. Horace
Maynard, died suddenly of heart dis
ease, on Wednesday morning, the Sd
inst. at his home in Knoxville,
Tenn. He was in perfect health the
day previous, and received visitors
up to ten O. clock in the evening. At
one o'clock in the morning he rose
from his bed, telling his wife he felt
unwell, and at once dropped dead on
the floor.
He was born at Westboro, Mass,
August 80, 1914, and was graduated
with the first honors at Amherst Col
lege in 1888. At the age of twenty
four his emigranted to Tennessee, and
accepted a professorship in the State
University, a position he held for six
years. At the age of thirty years he
was admitted to the bar, soon took
high rank in that profession, and
continued successful practice until he
was elected to congress Gas whig)
in 1857. He had in the meantime
served as president elector for the
State at large in 1852, and in 1856
! Ton the Fillmore ticket). He was
reelected to congress in 1859, and
in 1861 was again elected, as Union
man, to that body by over 10000
majority. In 1863 he was appointed
by Andrew Johnson, then military
governor, encouragement of the
State and reporter of the supreme
court. In 1865 Mr.. Maynard was
again returned to congress, and il
1867 was reelected. In November
1868 (the time of the election of con
gressmen having been changed), he
was for the sixth time elected, anC
afterward, in 1870 and 1872, in thu
last-named year beating Andrey
johnson and General Frank Chea
than for the State at large. In 1871!
he was appointed minister to Con
stantinople, where he remained unit
he was recalled and transferred t
the cabinet of President Hayes a
postmaster-general. Mr.. Maynar
was a scholar, gentleman, a speak
er of great force, and was very poI
ular in his State. He was an eide
in the Presbyterian church, a dele
gate to the Presbyterian gener:
council in Philadelphia, and preside
over one of its sessions.

Russell Sage who is one of New
York's long headed spectators, pre-
diets immense crops at the West this
year. and says he has never known
wet season in the early part of the
year to bring any thing else. Some
of the weather prophets, however,
prognosticate too much wet this sum-
mer, and enough in the fall to inter-
fere with the gathering of the har-
vests. The preachers INDUCTION,
however, still holds good: ''He that
Observeth the wind shall not SOW and
he that regardeth the clouds shall not
reap" The thing for farmers to do
is to 90 ahead with their planting
and to cultivate diversity of crops,
so that if one fails another will fill
its place, and ruin will not follow the
putting of ''too many eggs in one
basket" Some of the common sta
pies have been very scarce this year,
and that scarcity ought not to be re-
peated by a failure to plant. Let
the weather be what it will. it will
probably be just the right kind OF
weather for something.

Members of the Chinese legation,
at Washington, predict that the Chi
nese bill will prove practically mop
erative, and fail to accomplish what
its originators desire. The certifi-
Gates to be furnished to those who
desire to go to China and return to
this country will cause a good deal
of trouble, inasmuch as Cinnamon
are so much alike, that the descrip-
ton in the documents will answer for
one about as well as another, and it
will be easy for the six companies to
trade upon these papers and send
back to America whom they please.
The law calls for no joint action with
the Chinese consuls and other offici-
ais, and the latter will not trouble
themselves about the matter. 1t is
supposed that the Chinese govern
ment will wait to see how oppres-
sive the new law may prove before
taking any action. Should the re.
suit be the worst, the treaty may be
abrOgated and Americans will be for.
hidden to reside in China.
