recent Toledo papers<itis learned that books
will be opened for subscriptions to the road,
on the 22t Of next month. The Telegram, Of
that city, has the following concerning It {:
"Many persons have been surprised that,
with policy so vigorous as that which has
characterized the construction OF the Wheel
Ing [" Lake Erie hitherto, the completion Of
the line to Wheeling Is not pushed. The
significance OF this does not lie in any lack OF
funds, hut may possibly be found In the fact
that the South Pennsylvania & Ohio have in
corporated under the laws OF Ohio TO build
from Boweston 10 Wheeling. The same com.
pany has incorporated under the laws OF
West Virginia & Pennsylvania, which means
that the line is TO be built on 10 the eastern
seaboard. Should II follow the line included

Letter.
The pastoral letter Of Bishop Kahn, EN-.
bodyipg decree Of the Diocesan Synod Of
1882, against the sale Of beer and indulgence
in round dances at picnics or entertainments
given by Catholic societies. will be remem-
bered by readers Of the IarELLIsENcER, who

among German Catholics by the order. The
knights Of St. John, German society
composed Of Catholics, did not observe the
order that all Catholic societies should SUBJ
nit their constitutions to the Bishop for ap-

It was not condemned by the Bishop, however
until. last Tuesday night, when the military
branch OF the order gave 40 entertainment lt

round dancing INDUCED in. This called
forth the following letter TO the clergy, which
was read in all the Catholic churches Of the

THE contest for the speakership of the
House of Representatives is the chief
topic of Washington correspondents.
The prominent candidates are Randall of
Pennsylvania, Carlisle of Kentucky and
Cox of New York. That either Randall
or Carlisle will be chosen is pretty certain.
Randall is the representative of protec-
ton and Carlisle of revenue reform.
The former is undoubtedly most in favor
among politicians, and, with his long eX-
perence in management, is the more
likely to win.

THE evacuation of New York by the
British, the centennial anniversary of
which was observed on Monday with i'm
posing ceremonies, was the closing event
of the Revolution. On the 25th of Nov
ember, 1888. Sir Guy Carleton. as the
representative of the British crown, for
mally delivered the city to the Continen-
tai authorities and withdrew with his
$500 Hessians and British. The war,
however, had been ended some time be-
fore. The surrender of CORVALLIS at
Yorktown took place in October, 17Sl.
That practically closed the contest. In
April, 1888, Congress had directed the
cessation of hostilities. The evacuation
of New York, therefore, was little more
than a ceremony, yet is memorable as
marking the giving up by the British of
the most promising city in their colonies
and their final retirement from the cOun-
FRY.

The citizens committee appointed to
investigate the race war at Danville, Vir-
ginia, has reported. 1t was made up of
whites. and naturally finds that the ne
groes were in the wrong. Now the negroes
ought to be heard from. Perhaps, how
ever, they do not dare to speak. Four of
their number were killed in the disturb
ances, and they may not wish to incul
further risk. The mortality among the
colored folk is curious phase of the
affair. They are charged with being the
aggressors, but were the only ones who
suffered seriously. Up here in the North
people who set out to raise row usual
ly go prepared to hurt some one, and
succeed; but in Virginia those that are
provoked do all the shooting.

SOJOURNER TRUTH, the famous negro
woman, died at her home in Battle Creek,
Mich, on Monday. Her age is said to
have been l12 years. She was promi-
nent for fifty years as an advocate of alb
clifton and woman suffrage. Though
she learned to read but few years since,
she had talent for simple eloquence
that stirred more deeply than the utter
ances of more cultured speakers, and
made her a valuable co-worker with
Garrison, Phillips and Brney. For
years before the war and the emancipa-
tion of her race she believed they would
be free; and the statement Of this faith,
together with the story of her own suffer
ings in bondage, were the themes upon
which she talked. In early life she was
a slave in New York State.
