STALLS Lnas TOUND.
hey Are discovered Floating In Wi"a-


hickon creek
Two human legs were found floating In
the Wissahickon creek, about sixty feet
below Thorp's bridge, on tho park drive,
Philadelphia, on Sunday afternoon, by
Harman Rasoher. These arc presumed to
belong to tho armless, legless and headless
trunk Of the body of Frederick Stahl,
which was found in the same s.ream on the
eth of March last. The legs were greatly
decomposed and had evidently been dctach'
cd from the body by some sharp instru'
ment. Ii is now eleven weeks since the
trunk was first discovered, and at the
time of the original finding, although the
creek was dragged for days, none OF the
other portions of the body could be found;
Finally head was discovered. This fitted
to the trunk. Then pair OF arms, one oil
which the scientific medical men at the
coroner's office declared was crooked, rs If
tho owner had been in the habit of raising
heavy articles to his mouth. This crook.
cd arm led to the complete iden-
tifcation of tho remaius as those of
Stahl. Now the legs have tloatcd - the
surface, aud all the missing members are
in the possession of the coroner. II is be-
lieved by the officers that the legs were in
q weighted bag, and were kept ut the bot
tom Of the stream. The place where they
were discovered was some distance from
the spot where the trunk of the body was
found.
Stahps has been very productive body
in earning fees for the coroner. First,
there was the inquest upon the trunk.
Then the head came in for special sit
ting. Next the scene was repeated ovel
the arms, and now the legs come in fol
their share of attention.

An Issue OF Veracity.

Mr.. Chas. II. Bergner, upon whose
authority the Harrisburg Patriot printed
the story of Kemble exhibiting at Gin
cinnati the charges which proved his
bribery of Blaine, as speaker, sends to
that paper explicit denial. He says ::

/ saw OF knew of check being circulated
among the Pennsylvania delegates during
the balloting by Mr.. Kemblo or any one
else. could not have truthfully said So
because ! was not In Cincinnati at that
time, On the evening of the 10Th, at 3
o'clock, left Cincinnati for Harrisburg.
When tho final ballotiDg began was in
Altoona. This fact rendered 1t impossible
that l should have witnessed what your
paper attributes TO ms. You must know,

vania delegation of 1875 knows that noth-
ing like that which nm made to detail

story, comes to the fore promptly with a
denial Of IL; and Quay and numerous

Death Capt Jonn n. Madden.
A telegram received by friends in this

place in Washington, ID. c., yesterday.
The telegram gives no particulars of tho

Capt. Madden was son OF tho

In his early life Capt Madden worked
at morocco dressing with his father. and

in 1861, Capt. Madden enlisted az a ser.

wounded, but he recovered, aud rejoined
the regiment, in time to participate in
Sherman's great campaign against Atlanta
and thence to the soa, he having in the
meantime been promoted to lst lieu

Bontonville, N, c., he had his right

this wound also, and was made captain of
his company on tho 18th of Dec. 1854. He
served to the close of the war, and was
honorably discharged May -, 1865. Capt.
Maiden was brave soldier and good
officer, never shirking soldiers duty nor
complaining of its bardships.
At the close of the war he was appointed

Coal Prices 10 Philadelphia.

The committee Of the Philadelphia
councils has had before 1t, upon the
question " the coal freight discrimina-
ticn against Philadelphia, q witness who
rave them in a succinct shape the whole
story Of the abuse from which their city
suffers. IL was the city editor OF the
Record who has been making a thor
ough investigation Of the matter and has
had his industry rewarded by full en-
lightenment. The facts lay open to
any one diligently inquiring fer them
and it IL matter Of surprise that the
councilman Of the city should be so ig'
norant OF them as some OF them
seemed to be. They would not
have been surprised at Mr.. Norris
statement IL they hai been, themselves,
large consumers Of coal. The gist OF 1t
was that Philadelphia paid more for the
coal mines in her own state and carried
by railroads built by her capital and
energy than is paid by cities in other
states more distant from the coal field.
The reason why this is so, Is perfectly
plain. 1t springs from no hostility OF
the railroads to the town that gave them
birth. The fact simply Is that they can
get more for coal in Philadelphia than
further east, because they have more
competition In its carriage to
the east. They follow the rule,
to get all they can, which gov
erns the railroad officer supremely,
as 1t does most merchants. There is a
difference Of opinion among merchants,
however, as to how they can get the
most some believe in dealing more lib
orally than others but none of them
persist in charging more than they can
get. So long as Philadelphia permits
coal to be sent through 1t to out.
side people at less prices than its
people pay, 50 long will the
railroads collect this extra amount from
Philadelphians. But Philadelphia con-
trolls the situation, because the railroads
are dependent largely on the friendliness
of her authorities for the many privi.
leges they enjoy and the state Of Penn
sylvania will come to her assistance II
she demands 1t. The state should not
permit her citizens to be Disseminated
against by her railroads. They are en-
tirely within her control in the matter,
and it Il her duty to enact that none of
her products shall be carried for
citizens of other states at less
price than is charged to her own citizens.
And she can make II criminal offense,
as IL should be, to perpetrate such a
wrong. The railroad directors who
charge Pennsylvanians more than Other
people for Pennsylvania coal should be
charged TO Jail.
