very long winded, and is known as right

fine in fighting and boxing, and the deft
manner in which he constantly presents
side view shows that he understands the
pugilistic business to his opponent to avoid
body blows. He has long arms and strikes
hard with his left hand. Notwithstanding the
difference in weight and height Ryan's ad-
mirers claim that his staying powers are
better than these of McCatfrey and that his
dogged persistence and capability Of taking
punishment will win the fight. The match

$1,000 a side and to take place within 100

"ROCK OF AGES"
Eight Merry Maidens Arraigned in
Police Court for singing that Good
Old Song.

ELIZABETH, June 26.-I.ast evening Bur-
CESS Snowden was engaged in hearing
case which has caused no little excitement
in this usually quiet borough. 1t was that
of Mrs. Matte Taylor, proprietress of
boarding house, against eight young ladies',
ranging in age from fourteen to twenty
years, all OF respectable families. The
charge preferred sganst them was nui'
sance. Mrs. Taylor alleged that the merry
maidens nightly congregated in the vicin-
ity of her domicile, and annoyed the board
ers by singing the Rock of Ages and
other soul stirring hymns. Recently the
keeper of the house smeared
Tar on the Stones Where they Sit.
and the girls retaiated by covering them
over with a piece of oil cloth that they
found conveniently near. The next morn.
ing warrants were served on them to ap-
pear before the burgess and answer
charge of nuisance and destroying property.
The parents of the girls gave bail for their
appearance and employed attorneys to
represent their interests. The burgess office
would not accommodate the crowd, so the
hearing was held in the public school hall.
The prosecution utterly failed to make
case, and it was dismissed at the cost OF
the plaintiff, who had to pay Sll 10. Public
sympathy was entirely with the girls, who
formed really attractive greup and de-
parted themselves handsomely in the, to
Them rather novel ami trying position.

BUFFALO, June c6,-John Teeny, an Irish

Route Dorsey.
New YoRK, June 26.-The Sun to-day in
its editorial column prints series OF letters
written by L. P. Morton to ex-senator Dor
sey during the last Presidential campaign.
These letters are reproduced now because
they contain positive proof that Dorsey
was held in the highest esteem by the late
President and by his most trusted friends,
and that he enjoyed more than any
other Republican manager the unbounded
confidence of the leaders OF that party.
The correspondence shows that up to the
9th of September, Morton had made per-
sonal advances to Dorsey for the use IN the
campaign of $50, 600 without having col
lected a dollar from any one. One letter
informs Dorsey that his New York trlends
have entire confidence in him at the sue
cess of his labors, and can count on all the
assistance his estimates call for. One
letter dated New York, September 30, and
signed by W. F. Peddrick, private secre-
tary, says:
"Mr. Morton desires me to inform You
that he arrived this morning and has had
conference with Senator Allison, Mr.. Hub
bell and others. He does not see any pros
pect of securing any money in time Tor your
use from Mr.. Gould, but as he has a tele-
gram from Senator Cameron saying that
bis father goes to Philadelphia to-day,
and that he goes to Pittsburgh himself, Mr..
Morton feels confident that we shall be
able to send you 800, 900, Including the
$40 900 he sent from Cleveland and he
hopes to increase this amount"

tinuance on affidavit on account OF the alb

THE e. a q. co. ". VIRGINIA.

The Baltimore Il Ohio Railroad Com
rany has raised an issue with the State
Of Virginia, which must finally decide
very important question 10 that
State.
The =. X o. Company /, 4 creditor .
Virginia, holding some Of the bonds of
that State. BY an act of the Virginia
Legislature it was provided that the
coupons of these bonds should be re-
ceived for taxes due the state. But the
MAHONE Legislature has practically
nullified this and broken the plighted
faith Of Virginia to her creditors. When
the Baltimore & Ohio Company offered
the coupons in payment OF taxes they
were refused, and the property Of the
company was seized and put up for sale.
An Injunction has been obtained by the
company, and the question involved in
this act of Virginia Reputation will be
again tested in the United States Courts.
In q former decision of the Supreme
Court, in which this act of the Readjus-
ter Legislature was reviewed, the court
held that the legislation by which the
creditors of Virginia were DISTRACTED in
the paymsnt Of coupons for taxes was
not violation of the obligation of q
contract. In the case which is now
presented, involving q deliberate re.
ftlssl of the Virginia authorities to &C.
cept the coupons. for taxes, different
conclusion may be reached. 1t may
not be in the power of the Federal
Courts to compel delinquent State to
pay its debts, but the Court can pro-
tect from levy and sale the property Of
a creditor who tenders State its own
obligations in payment of its takes. In
the meantime the chief of the Virginia
Readujsters insolently demands that
the Administration at Washington
shall lend him its patronage 10 support
his infamous policy.

Dr. G.. y. CNRrENTER, a member Of
the State Board of Health, of West
Virginia, a resident of Noretield, Hardy

the most valuable papers of the number
presented at the meeting OF the medical
men at Grafton. It, title was "A Pro-
per Management of Insane Asylums,"
with special reference 10 the entire di-
voIcement of the mere business man
agement Of the establishment from the
medical care and responsibility Of pa
tients therein confined. He thinks the
class known as "curables" should be
separated from the "incurables'-for
example the idiOtic and the epileptic.
This paper was listened 70 with marked
attention, and highly commented upon
by the entire fraternity present. The
Doctor is to be congratulated upon this
one of his ablest efforts.

Twill no doubt be surprise to many
readers to learn that the railroad con-
structiOn Of the present year promises
to surpaSs that of any in the history Of
the country except that Of 1881. There
has been considerable talk of tagging
prosperity, and the iron market has
dropped so that it has been generally
supposed railroad building must SYM
psthize with other interests. Last re-
ports show there has been l,2l6 miles
of track laid this year, against LOIS
laid during the same period last year,
and 1854 same period in 1881. So
vast are the qualifications of rsilrosd
building, extending from the Tor
tugas, in Florida, to .Pugeps Sound,
from the st. Johns, in Maine, to Los
Angeles, in California, that few thou
sand miles in new lines and branches
attract little attention. Il is likely rail-
road building covering this vast area
will continue to reach figures which
have heretofore been considered large.
Roads are dem anded by the increasing
population where few years ago there
was no use for them. The wants of
transportation are cumulative. One
enterprise begets the necessity for
Others, and thus it will be that thou
sands Of miles will be added to the sg-
gregate Of the railroads in the United
States every year.
