Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania
Railroad to be EnJolned from Con-
solIdatlng Their Lines In Pennsyl-
Vania.
HARRISBURG, Aug. 15-It is conf
IDENTIFY asserted in official circles that
the attorney-general of the common
wealth will interpose to prevent the
consummation of the bargain between
Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania rail-
road company, by which the South
Pennsylvania and Beach Creek railroad
comes under control of the Pennsyl-
vania road. Section 4 of article II
Of the constitution specially
prohibits the consolidation or merging
of competing railroads or other carry
ing corporations. 1t has always been
held that legislation was sary to
make the provision operative. During
the eleven years that have elapsed
since the adoption of the constitution
the legislature has persistently refused
to adopt the appropriate legisla-
tion." 1t is said the process which the
Attorney General will adopt will
reach the question, Notwithstanding
the failure of the legislature adopt ap.
propriate legislation. The South
Pennsylvania & Beach Creek railroad
was chartered by the State since
the adoption of the constitution.
Of 1873, and consequently became
amendable to its prohibition clauses
without additional legislation. The
minority shareholders in the two cor.
porations to be absorbed will apply to
the attorney general for a mandamus
to prohibit the majority shareholders
from disposing of the franchises
granted to the roads in that way, and
the attorney general will rule in their
favor and ask the governor to revoke
the charters. The best lawyers ex-
press the belief that this course will
defeat Mr.. Vanderbilt's scheme and
compel him to proceed with the work
Of building the roads or forfeit his
interest, amounting to something like
$5,000,000.

3 THE HH0Pa-

It is time for our influential citizens
to begin bestirring themselves to Sc.
cure as large a vote as possible for the
shops of the L., N. o. & T. r. R. Let
the matter be carried, with practical
unanImity, and we will see Vicksburg
take a long step forward. The hope
that Vicksburg would secure the shops
and the friendship of this powerful
corporation, has given US the most &C.
tive summer in building and improve
ment we have had since the war There
is more confidence In Vicksburg's
future and the value Of her real estate,
than ever before. On Cherry street,
lots have advanced in value three or
four hundred per cent, and in like
proportion in all other desirable local
tiles. There are fewer business and
dwelling houses for rent, than was
ever known in the city, and there is a
general belief that we have passed the
lowest point and are safely on the up
grade. Whether we are successful in
the future OF not depends very much
on our own efforts. If we fail to
utilize u advantages, and are content
to struggle along in apathy and indif-
ference, we may be sure, little or no
progress will Re made.
In the shops question there is pre-.
sented a fine opportunity to make a
start. The city cannot afford to let it
pass. Instead Of it being extravaganza
for the city to promptly accept and
live up to the contract, it would be a
wasteful and almost i"rreparable blum
der for it not to do so. Our taxes
would bear much heavier on us with
out the shops, than with them. To
secure them we only pay about $4,000
a year, and they will be so much more
benefit than that amount, thatit would
be a serious blunder not to secure
them.
In our opinion it would damage thu
city, If the voters should decide
against the shops.

A STRANGE CASE.
Kept in Duress Twenty-Seven
Years on a Charge of Extravaganza
nnd E~OonnArInIA.

Kept in Duress Twenty-Seven
Years on a Charge of Extravagance
and Eccentricity.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IA. ~ Miss
Adrianne Phirick Brinkle has Just
been released from the State lunatic
asylum, where she has been confined
for twenty-seven years on the extraor-
binary charge Of "extravagance
and eccentricity." She is a
daughter Of the late DR.. VIM.
Draper Brinkle, a physician who en-
ioyed a large practicet and moved in
the highest circles Of society here
thirty years ago. Miss Brinkle was an
acknowledged belle, a woman Of great
beauty and accomplishments, and a
popular favorite. She was extremely
e~xtraYagant, but an unfortunate
change in the financial standing
Of the father made it impos-
sible for him to pay her bills
as he had done before. Adrianne was
unable to overcome her extravagant
tastes, and without knowing anything
of the law in such cases, bought a
piano and a set of furniture, which
she sold before paying for them. This
proceeding scandalized the set to which
the Brinkles belonged, and it was
stated at the time, to "save the family
honor" Miss Brinkle was sent to the
asylum, entering the institution in
July. 1858.
When the Twelfth National Confer
ence of Charities and correction met in
Washington last June one of the dele
gates made the following statement:
"a beautiful and charming younp
lady used to wealth, is e~xtravagant
and her father reduced in circum-
stances. Finding himself unable to
restrain her habit of spending he
concluded that she required a
custodian's care, and placed her
in a hospital needless Of her earnest
protests. He dies and leaves her
there. There she has been nearly thir-
ty years, and is now nearly sixty years
of age and still begging to be released,
but the custodian still thinks she
needs a custodian's care, and she re-
mains to this day under restraint of
her personal liberty"
This led to al investigation and Miss
Brinckle was visited at the State Luz
matte Asylum at Harrisburg, and a
committee reported that there was no
evidence of insanity in her case, but
still no release came, and the unfortu-
woman almost abandoned
hope. The representatives of the State
committee on lunacy visited her.
however, and then the order came and
she was sent out a free women. Upon
her arrival in this city she was taken
to the Convalescents' Retreat, near
Glenn Mills, where she is being ten
derby cared for. Miss Brickle is now a
gray-haired woman Of sixty, in the full
possession of her faculties and in good
health.

GREENvILLE.

The Crop Prospects ENCOURAGING
First Bale Of Cotton Recelved--
New Telegraph Wire to Green
Vile.
Special to the Commercial Herald.
GREENvILLE, MISS, Aug. l5-Crop
reports along the Mississippi river,
from Rosedale to Halls Landing. are
on an average satisfactory. The hot,
dry weather during July has given a
wonderful impetus to the crops of this
section. The hot dry season was
broken last week by a heavy rainfall.
which extended throughout the valley.
During the past ten days reports of
the appearance Of caterpillars have
come from various sections, with such
frequency as to justify the fear that
the finest crops since many years were
endangered, but from latest reports it
may be said that the crop as a whole
is the best that has been known for
years; that while in some localities.
caterpillars have appeared, as general
thing it is too late to do serious
injury. 1t appears further that in those
localities where the worms have
appeared in their most malignant form,
and there are few such instances, they
have as yet generally confined them
selves to the foliage of the plant and
the fruit is but slightly injured. Pick
ing has commenced.
The first bale of new cotton was
received here by Weiss s. Goldstein
to-day. 1t was raised by Ed Miles, on
Col. E. Richardson's, Lagrange place.
Greenville has now a new telegraph
wire in addition to the old river line
which has been for many years the
only outlet, and when needed the most
was not in working order. The new
line uns along the railroad and inter-
ruption If any will be Of short dura-
ton The telegraph service between
here and the outer world Can now be
regarded as reliable.

blow of some kind. The skin was
very white and smooth the hands and
feet small and beautiful. Buzzards

If a cat has nine ~existences any one
who reads the following occurrence,
which took place at Kerrville, Texas,
on the 8th of this month, will be
forced to conclude that a cowboy has
ninety-nine lives: "W. S. Davis, a cow
boy in the employ of Schreiner g. Lit
tie, was in a corral roping horses. One
end of the rope became entangled
round his neck, and he was ierked a
distance Of ten feet and rendered I'M
conscious. Two competent physicians
examined him and pronounced his neck
broken. The man still breathed, and
has lain in this condition ever since.
His neck is undoubtedly broken, and,
though ~momentarily expected, death is
apparently no nearer now than two
days ago."

F~avOrItlsm in the Navy to Stop.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-An order
similar to that recently issued by Sec
rotary Endicott will shortly be sent out
from the navy department.
The navy regulations require that
officers shall serve three years at sea
and three years on shore, returning at
the end Of the latter period to sea
duty. Complaint has been made
by some officers that they did
not receive their full time on share.
To remedy any such evil that may ex-
ist, two officers, one from the line and
one from the staff, will probably be de-
tailed at an early date to keep
a record, showing the kind Of
work officers are employed on and the
length Of time they have been engaged,
When three years Of shore duty have
elapsed, the officers will be sent to SEA-.
