Recent developments, says the Baltimore
Sun, plainly indicate that tbs next movement
IN the contest between the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad and the Pennsylvania railroad viii be
the establishment Of a new through line be-
tween New York and the west via the Read
ing railroad TO Harrisburg, thence BY the
Harrisburg & Potomac railroad TO the Balti-
more & Ohio road. There are at present
gaps in the line, which are to be filed BY
sbort.lines Of road, and arrangements have
been made for the prompt construction Of
these lines. Baltimore s. Ohio officials are
reticent on the subject, but it is known that
engineers Of the company haye been on the
liuesth are 10 be built. and it is ascertAined
from authentic sources that the new through
line viii be an accomplished fact before next
summer.
The line Of road thus formed may be
said 10 paFellel the line of the Peunsylva MIA
road from New York TO Harrisburg and Ha-
gerstown. IL viii not be n passenger road,

and The eastern business Of The Baltimore *
Ohio express, which was crippled Nv the &C

Death of Amelia Cummins.

Coroner Quinn aud the police authorities
were busily engaged yesterday in trying to
establish the identity Of the aged woman who
was found frozen to death in the Sixth ward
last Sunday, particulars Of which appeared
in yesterdays issue Of the GLoBE. Nothing
additional was discovered excepting that the
body is supposed to be that orAmeiia Cum-
Minis, a somewhat dissipated woman who
has been known around town for several
years, bat strange to say no one seems 10
know anything about her place OF residences.
1t is stated on good authority that she was
last seen alive by grocer and saloon keeper
10 the Sixth ward; that she called at the
latter's place about midnight Saturday and
sat around until . O'Clock, when he closed
up and put her out. Tuis phase Of the affair
viii be investigated at the inquest which
takes place at noon to-day.
To further heighten the mystery OF the
case, a horrible suspicion was preached to
the police yesterday, which it IS understood
they are nov working on, The suspicion is
that after leaving the saloon the woman was
enticed to the prairie by a couple OF
scoundrels who took advantage OF her age
aud condition to violate her person. For the
sake OF common humanity It Is to be hoped
that this suspicion Is groandless. The full
facts will no doubt be brought out to-day.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The representative
hall looked deserted to-day. A large ma
jority OF the members have gone to their
homes to eat their Christmas dinners with
their families or 10 the eastern cities to spend
their vacation, for the representatives are
bent on having their holiday, while Speaker
Carlisle and corporars guard remain here

journment OF the house every three days or
O,tener, n necessary, 10 keep within the let
ter OF the constitutional requirement. The
few congressman who stTolled into the capt.
toll to-day and saw a handful OF senators try
ing to so through TIE form Of earnest leGis-
lative work. were inclined 10 poke fun at
that burdeusome senatorial dignity which
prevented the senate FROM changing its
mind about naval appropriations, and de-
prived it of the pleasure OF fortnight's va
cation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Hale iG
attempting the crawfsh act. He has no hope
OF getting any appropriations for new yesseIs
or guns, but he can't bear to back clear down
and accept the house naval bill. He, there
fore, reported to-day bill exactly like the
naval bill passed by the house at the last ses-
sion except that it appropriates for six months
instead Of year. Although the house will
have less objection to this bill, it is
by no means certain to pass it, for it has
passed another bill and is good deal ir ri
tated at the opposition Of the senate, so that
it is quite likly to insist on its own measure,
There will be no quorum in the house Wed
nesday, aud John D. White has given notice
that be is going to be on hand and prevent
the transaction of any business in the alb
senee of a quorum, so that the new senate
bill cannot be acted upon before Jan. 5.

Omaha General Agent Keith, of the Bur
ington, has made a statement which has
been filed with Arbitrator Hiland, charging
the St. Paul, Wabash and Missouri Pacific

cutting rates. Mr.. Keith claims 10 have pur-
chased tickets over the Missouri Pacific and
Wabash 10 81. Louis at cut rates, and over
the Milwaukee 81 ST. Paul co Chicago on
similar terms. The three lines claim that the
tickets were purchased Of sealpers, and con-
stituted 4 part Of stock on hahd when the
agreement was entered into. Their defense
Is that the agreement was not intended 10

- Especial Correspondence of the Globe
HAsrINGs, Dec. 22.-The public a..
familiar with the shooting of VIM. Onslaught
messy by Mary Milan at Millsville, Dakota
county, Sunday, December IA, as both were
| leaving church. Three shots were fired, two
taking effect, and proving fatal, as the man
died on Saturday last Before his death,
O'Shaughnessy confessed that he had seduced
the woman who shot him and that he was the
father of her child. He professed deep con-
triton for his conduct an a expressed the de-
sire that there be 10 prosecution growing out
Of the manner Of his death On Tuesday
after the shooting, Mary MILAN and her babe
were taken to the county Jail, and on the fol-
lowing day the babe died Since the death
Of the confessed sedueer. it is said in his be-
half that he was willing to marry tie woman
he had injured, but she was not inclined.
The truth of this sermon has not been VERT
fled, and there was nothing in the last con-
fession of the man to give it color.
Dakota county seems to be a good field for
horse thieves to get in their work. Three un-
successful raids have been made since laEA
September. Last Friday evening they entered
the barns of Stephen Headley and Andrew
Benson, two wealthy farmers of Empire, and
stole team from each place, two double and
one single harnesses and pair Of bob sleds,
drove to Louis Piedre's, neighbor, and sold
one OF the horses to him. No clue has vet
been obtained of the bold horse thieves.
Miss Sheldon, teacher in the High school,
and Miss Nellie Baker, of this place, will
join the teachers excursion next Tuesday
evening for the New Orleans exposition.
DR.. Halves is confined to the house by a
painful accident resulting from running
into wire close line during one of the cold
nights of last week. The wire caught under
the upper lid and came in contact with the
eye ball above the pupil, which evidently
froze to the ball as it took away a piece Of
the coating of the ball. The sight will not
be injured by the accident.
The public schools will not be closed TO
allow the teachers to attend the exposition.
hence, only Miss Sheldon, of the High
school, expects to attend. The reason for
this is the fact that great many of the
larger scholars leave school early in the
spring and go to work, and as they have
only about four and a half months in the
winter to attend school the vacation must bs
short.

The Facts Abp,.. the Teachers Excursion.

The Facts Ab.ss: the Teachers Excursion.
To the Editor OF the Globe:
Hon. D. l.. Kiehle asked Prof. B.F. Wright
early in December 10 make au arrangement
for an excursion TO New Orleans for the
benefit of the teachers OF the state
On looking the ground over Prof WriTht
found that man in Minneapolis was trying
TO get up an excursion via ST. Louis, and that
s'Col." Teasdaie had employed General j.
Il. Hansonsto get up one via his line aud Cir
cinnati. ''General'' Hanson had employed
i'Maior'' Roselle to assist him, and Prof.
Wright sound that the only lines net COM
mitted TO any particular party were the Chi
cago, Milwaukee S st. Paul aud the Illinois
Central. The latter company offered so
many advantages 10 tie teachers over az
others that Prof. Wr:gA. arranged with L
and the Milwaukee & ST. Paul railway. after
submitting the same to Mr.. Kieh,e
and securing his full and
unqualified approval. Mr.. Teasdale then
asked Prof. Wright 10 endorse his scheme,
but was informed that it was too late and The
arrangements Were made. Mr.. Teasla;e
then changed his route and advertised The
Illinois Central, aud al action taken since bv
him has been apparently with a view of ernhar-
RAISING Prof. Wright in his efforts to arrange
matters for the benefit of the teachers. All
his efforts have been In vain, however, as
Prof. Wright's party is success, aud II
will be the largest and most representative
excursion Of teachers which will leave here.
When it is understood that Major Hanson,
who is now writing letters from New Orleans
booming Mr.. Roselle's scheme, has direct
interest in the same, and is using his privil-
eyes as correspondent for that purpose, II
viii account for the milk in his cocoauut. II
not for the hair thereon and the teachers
of the state viii probably consider Prof
Wright's statements, as set forth in his cir
cular, as worthy Of more credence than those
OF irresponsible persons, who have attempted
TO foist themselves on the public as the
champions OF the educational interests of the
