Newport Last Evening.


Benjamin +. Dennis, p, W. q B. railroad
conductor living at 1921 Poplar street, was
severely injured yesterday week by being
thrown from q Washington and New York
express train short distance below Newport,
The train was running at the rate Of 25
miles an hour and he had gone out on car
platform to see that the signal lights ahead
were right.
As the train was rounding curve the en-.
gineer put down brakes, and Mr.. Dennis
losing bis equilibrium, was thrown violently
to The ground. When he was missed the
train was stopped and a messenger sent back
to search for him. He could not be found,
however, and the train continued to thus CITY.
Mr.. Dennis was picked up by another train
and brought to Wilmington. Upon his ART
val here. he was placed in carriage and
taken to his home, where he was attended by
Dr. Kane, the railroad oompany's surgeon.
A confused wound was found upon his

CHEAP POSTAGE.
Indications that the Service VIII Soon
Again be on Paying Basis.

WASHINGTON, January s.-The statistics
OF the calendar year, now being collected,
confirm the expectation of the Postoffies
Department concerning the effects of the
reduction of letter postage, and indicate
that the service will soon again be on a
paying basis. The statistics for
the last three months Of 1884,
more than any which have preceded
them, will show the actual results of the
change, and these will show that the re-
ducton from three to two cents has caused
very perceptible and important abandon
ment Of the use Of postal cards. and has
also caused the almost universal use
of the twp=eent, stamp and closed
envelopes instead Of the one=ceht
stamps and open circulars: These twoIim.
portant and extensive changes go far to
compensate for the loss of the revenue by
the reduction of rates, and exceed the
expectations of the department. The
only subject of regret to the officials is
that the reduced rates, while still in
an experimental stage, should suffer
from the effects of the business depres.
sion, which always makes itself very ap-
parent In the quantity Of matter carried in
the mails. The allowance f6r this can, not
be estimated even approximately, but Id
spite of it the showing has been eminently
satisfactory, and proved the wisdom of the
reduction Of postal rates.

MYRA CLARK GAINES.
Death of the Noted Litigant at New
Orleans.
Close OF the Earthly Career Of One of the
Most Remarkable Women of the Age.

New ORLEANS, January 9.-Myra Clark
Gaines, the heroine of the celebrated Gaines
case, died here tonight, at the residence of
her son-in-law. Mrs. Gaines was the
daughter of Daniel Clark, the first Repres-
entative In Congress of Louisiana, and the
richest man in the State at the time of his
death. Mrs. Gaines was not informed If her
parentage Until she was grown woman.
AS soon as she knew this she be:
gan her case for the recovery
OF her fathers property. This case
is probably the most extended and COM
plicated litigation on record 1t was COM
msnced fully half century ago, and has
been begun anew seven times--even before
the Supreme Court of the State four times,
and before the Supreme Court of the
United States twice, and is before that
body to-day. Almost every prominent
lawyer, from Daniel Webster and Charles
O'Conor down, has been employed in it,
and fortunes have been expended in
carrying it on. When Mrs. Gaines
was married to General Edmund Pendleton
Gaines, who gained such great reputation
during the war of 1872, his immense fortune
~ f-o"''oV Woo OAPCuuCu All Souiu Nhui 800
and lawyers fees. Mrs. Gaines obtained in
Vulnerable judgments, but every cent of
money she got went to the lawyers. As for
the defendants in the case, all were ruined
by the most protracted litigation eyer
known, except the City of New Ors
leans. Two years ago Mrs. Gaines obtain
ed judgment in the United States Court
here against the city for sum exceeding
2,O0O,O00. This case is now on appeal to
the United States Supreme Court. The en-
tire litigation has cost not less than $780,
600 in Court charges and other legal ex.
penses. Mrs. Gaines always man
aged her own case with great
pluck and wisdom, and won her
points by her extraordinary pertinacity.
She'ofteh appeared before the bar herself
and pleaded her cause. 1t is generally be-
lieved that with her death the case will
fall through and some compromise be ac-
cepted by her heirs. Mrs. Gaines was a
woman of high qualities and of strong ins
tellect and great generosity.
