Railway Matters.

PHILADELPHIA, July I'm spite of re-
ported conferences between the Pennsyl-
vania and the New York Central railroad
interests relative to the abandonment by
the latter OF the South Pennsylvania rail
road, which is the proposed connecting link
between the Reading and the New Jersey
Central and west, it is officially stated here
that work ON the projected line Is being
pushed forward with all possible speed.
There is every prospect that the June
earnings of the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany will not show so large a decrease as
did those of May, by at least 500 900. That
the earnings for the first three weeks in
June were only about sIS5, 900 below thos.
of the same period last year. Taking this
as a basis the earnings for the four weeks
viii probably show loss of $3.50. 900 from
the June earnings Of 1854 Referring to the
prospect for improvement in thu trunk line
situation, an officer of this road said he be.

SECRETARY WHITNEY took party of
friends down the Potomac for little
jaunt the other day, There is nothing
strange about this. 1t has been a common
practice among republican secretaries of
the navy. The interesting point about it
is that Secretary Whitney paid for the
steamboat and also settled all the atten>
dant expenses out of his own pocket, in
stead of using government vessel and
charging the refreshments to the contin-
gent fund, as republican secretaries have
been in the habit of doing. Chandler
must look upon Whitney as tenderfoot,
but the latter will not be unhappy under
his predecessors contempt so long as he
has the approval Of the people.

Midsummer Dizziness.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE approach of the
midsummer holiday season has intensified
the general dullness in trade circles. Special
kilograms to Bradstreet's point to this, al
though there are a few exceptions. AS
Boston the boot and shoe trade
is by comparison quito active, and
the most prosperous department OF bust
ness there. At New Orleans the somewhat
improved feeling in business circles noted
last week continues dependent on the gener-
ally favorable crop outlook in the south
Mississippi valley. At Burlington, Iowa.
the outlook in trade circles is good, based
on the favorable crop prospects in
that state. Mercantile collections are
reported to be fair from points in
the Missouri river valley The payments Of
semi-annual interest and dividends on
July has further increased the sur
plus funds on deposit at New York, Bos-
ton and Chicago. The industrial situation
has been complicated by threatened strike
of the western Pennsylvania coal.miners
and by strikes of iron-mill employees at
Cleveland and Of street car company en-
ployes at Chicago New England cotton
mills and Pittsburg glass works have shut
down owing to heavy stocks and dragging
sales. The situation of the cotton goods
manufacturers is less encouraging than that

Dorsey and Ingersoll In New Mexico

From the Denver Tribune Republican.
Ex-senator Stephen w. Dorsey. &C &,
companied by Mrs. Dorsey, is on his way
from q visit in the east to his mammoth
cattle ranches in New Mexico, where he
will spend the summer in his customary
kingly style. In two or three weeks he
will be joined by Col Robert G. Inger-
soil. his partner in the cattle business
Their residences are less than half mile
apart, and, unlike the usual abode of cat.
tlemen, are fitted up with all the conven-
fences known to modern times. Although
many miles from any town, they have
gas, water, and telephones. The building
occupied by Col Ingersoll is novel and
unique. 1t was built under the direction
of Mr.. Dorsey and presented to his part
ner on his first visit to the ranch. It's de-
sign does not conform to any known rules
of architecture. 1t Is built in rustic
style, and its thirteen gables present a
fantastic appearance. 1t has score Of
rooms, arranged in suits.

EVIDENCES accumulate that the anti
prohibitionists propose to make it very
warm for their radical opponents. A
Kansas City despatch says that Armour
dale, just across the line. has been the
scene of struggle between these oppos-
ing forces in which the prohibitionists
had narrow escapes from death, many
shots having been fired at them. 1t will
be remembered that similar disturbance
occurred in Maine village not long ago
owing probably to the bad quality of the
beverage dispensed under the prohibition
dispensation; and certainly the feeling
between the republicans and the radical
temperance men Of this state is not un.
likely to be followed by violence. Let us
hope that there will be no general civil
war on the temperance question. The
temperate method of settling vexed ques>
tions is always the best

the United States minis, an Office to
which he was appointed by Hayes, and
which be had held for more than five
years, having been reappointed by Presi>
dent Arthur in 1884, has returned to his
home in Freeport. He still holds that
the Office from which he had been sus
pended was not political one. The re-
port that there had been charges filed
against him in Washington, Mr.. Burchard
said, was not true. There had been nc
such charges and he did not expect there
would be any. Under the circumstances
since there had been 50 much talk, the
ex.director said that he preferred being
suspended rather than to resign.

For the benefit of suffering humanity, and in

deem it only my duty to give this unsolicited tes-

ities became so nfamed and sore that she was
obliged to keep them constantly coated with a
covering of "Fuler's Earth mixed wet and al
lowed 10 dry on. Among other things she was
afflicted with periodical nervous headache, oc-
curing regularly every seven days, sometimes
followed by an intermittent fever for weeks at a
time so that her life became burdento her.

s. and follow strictly the directions iu regard TO
dose, diet, etc. This was about seven weeks ago.
After taking The first large bottle the disease
seemed to increase; the burning, itching and in.
| fiammation became unbearable. She, however,
persevered in the uce of the medicine. After Ia
king the second bottle the Inflammation began to
