Chicago in 1865, where she made the ac-
quaintance Of Maj. ]. A. Samples, former

cd the Lac.ede House and installed the

as uniaithful rs her former husband.
She sold out in 1870 and went 10 Mobile,
and from there to Warm Springs, N. G.,
the Major sticking to her as his main sup.
port. Samples there took negro woman
as his mistreFs, which resulted in practi.
cal separation. Drifting to Washing ton in
1874 she rented the Hines mansion Of John
Quincy Adams, and was subsequently in.
trouuced to Mrs. Oliver. This woman
haunted the rooms Of Senator Simon Cam.
erou, and avowed to Mrs. Samples her in
tention to make people believe she was
'Cameron's mistress. BY SOME means Mrs.

- WHEELING haa "eet great store by" The
( Ohio River Railroad. Ohio county, ol
which Wheeling Is tho greater part, has
her money in the Ohio River road. The
y Ohio River Railroad Company has en-.
tered intoa contract with the 7. w. < X.
by which Il gains entrance to the city and
secures to itself such terminal facilities as
It expects 10 require. Now come the two
railroad companies aud ask for such In
creased facilities as will enable the P. W,
4 K. to carry out It's contract with the Ohio
River road. Without additional facilities
the p. W. &K. maintains that II will be
impossible 10 accommodate the new road.
Ohio county Is also fourth owner Of the
r, W. Is K. So that We have our interest
Of ownership in each road besides our com.
mercial interest ia the rich region which
the Ohio River road Is to open to us-irom
Wheeling to ParkerHburg, thence to Point
Pleasant, thence up the Kanawha and
finally into the New river coke and ore
region.
So much is tangible or within reasonable
view. Elsewhere are set forth at length
the situation and the additional facilities
for which the companies are asking. The
lHrELmaEScRn has aimed.to learn tho facts
/ and to present them without bias or pre-
Z judice to,ahy interest. In this place it may
be said that another corporation, the
Harrisburg aud Western, or Wheeling and
Harrisburg, supposed to bo poe,ible part
OF Vanderbiles new road, comes with a
proposition OF its own and gives notice
that unless this ii complied with it will op-
pose the granting ot the additional iaciIi.
! ties. 1ig
u Wheeling wants Vanderbit's road and
aay and all other roads that may be dis.
posed to come. The 1SrELLldEScER has
done what it could to further this project.
Bn!. therois as yet no a:5unnce that Van.
dsrb'lt is taking any interest in Wheeling,
aud there is too much at stake to await the
pleasure Of Vanderbilt or anybody else. A
railroad on the ground is worth dozen on
paper. In whatever we do We must first
consult the interest OF Wheeling; and in
the present case it is to our urinterest that The
Ohio River road shall be let in. That road
stopping at Bsnwood would be Of little use
to Wheeling and Wheeling would be Of
little service to the road.

WASHINGTON, January 5.-There is much
comment here upon the recently. publish.

pressed, Everybody here seems to have
known that money was being spent very
recklessly in the Senate, aud that it has
long been the custom to do 30. The com.
ment is upon the character OF the expendi.
lures and the Senators who called for them.
Tint staid old statesmen should ask the
Government 10 pay for their medicines,

sion Of the Senate, is most singular. Col.
Bright, The outgoing Sergeant.at.

The plan is to divide tue country into elk
districts, each to be represented in the pool
on a basis made up from the tonnage pro.
ducing capacity of tho district and profit
earning capacity per ton. Each furnace in
q district is to sharO in the districts
shares Of the general pool on a basis to be-
determined in the same way. One OF the
chief objects Of the scheme is to ascertain
the exact product Of pig iron in the coun.
try. II is also proposed that at any time
furnaces arc ordered to be stopped for any
reason, each will draw its share Of profits

ALLENTOWN, January Con the author
lty OF Mr.: John T. Knight, treasurer OF the
Thomas Iron Company, it is denied that
the company has made an offer Of 100000
for the Allentown Iron Works. The works
will be closed as Eoona as the ore, coal and
limestone on hand have been used up.
The only stack Of the Coplay Ifen Works
in operation lately was blown out yester.
day afternoon. At The prevailing prices
lor pig iron the company could not afford
to run tho worke, and for some time they
made iron either at a very small margin Of
profit OF at an actual isss. There is no in,-
mediate prospect OF tue works resumiue
operation, and no steps in that direction
Will be taken until the condition OF the
iron trade warrants it. How some OF the
working.men with large families will tide
over :the winter without suffering, is a
question that gives no little concern to
many: The number Of idlo men in the
L7.ehigh Valley is already great, and the in
dications point TO its increase every day, .,
