The gross earnings Of the Knox & Lincoln
railroad for the past year amount to about
$4,000. and the net earnings to $4,000, or
$1,000 more than for 1885. The legitimate ex-
penses OF the road have been $4,000 less than
for 1895. The sum of $4,000 has been charg-
ed to outside expenses during the year, and
$4,000 was paid TO the cities and towns that
own the stock OF the road, between Sept. 30,
1885, ond Sept. 80, 1886. This Is an increase
of $4,000 over the sum paid during the same
time during the previous year. The outside
expenses for the coming year will be much
smaller than for 1886. owing to the perfect
repair in which the road now Is.

Received Into the Catholic Church.

The latest notable accession to the Catholic
church in this diocese was formally cele-
brated on Thanksgiving day, when the
widow of the late William ii. Hunt, Gar
fields secretary Of the navy, and Arthur's
minister to Russia, was received with inn
presslve and interesting ceremonies at st.
Matthew's in this city. Mrs. Hunts friends
have long known of her purpose, and more
than year ago she wholly withdrew from
society, in which she has ever held bril-
liant place. Her conversion to Catholicism
is due to Rev. Father O'Connell of Boston,
who first drew Mrs. Hunts attention serious
ly toward his sect while stationed at Med
ford, where the lady has summer home.
For many months she has devoted all her
time to the religious Instructions of the
priests of st. Matthew's. Father 0'Connell

and to superintend her induction into the

Early Friday evening a negro man
brought to Maryland University on
Lombard Street the body of a white
woman. and left it with Anderson
Perry (colored). janitOr, saying he
would call again for SIS, the price agreed
upon. The body was taken TO lie pre-
pared for keeping until needed for dis
section; but il was found that the head
was horribly crushed, and there were
two wounds in the left breast. The
police we're at once notified. Yesterday
q post mortem examii on was made,
when physicians stated positively that
the wounds we're made after death,
leaving the inference that it was a
simple case of body snatching. and that
the work had been done BY novice.
To-day, however, the body was iden-
tilted as that OF Emily Brown, a woman
20 years old who for the past six months
had been boarding with colored fam
lily in the. western section of the city.
She was of dissipated habits and lived
by begging. She vas at her home three
hours before her body was brought 70
the University and it is now evident
that she was brutally murdered for the
price her body would bring for use on
the dissecting table.
Perry, the janitOr. Who received the
body, denies that he ever saw the
woman but he is known to have been a
boarded at the same house and to have
eaten breakfast with her on the morn
ing of the murder. He was to-day ar
rested as accessory.

The Mugwump press as a rule are dumb in
regard to President Cleyeland's letter to Dis
trict Attorney Benton. One of them, how
ever, the New YoE2 Post, has ventured to
speak its mind quite freely. Itregards the
letter as practical notification Of the order
OF July and step backward. 1t says:
The Presidents order was understood to
mean that subordinate officers were not to
De allowed any longer to determine how
much OF their time and energy they would
give 10 Official work and how much to politi-
cal work 1t was supposed to settle it finally
.liaL the government paid for the cream Of
each man powers, and for his best work on
certain Gays and at certain hours, and not
supply Tor what vitality and capacity he may
nave left after running around the country
making stump speeches and managing con-
Ventlons. The restoration of Mr. benton
seems 10 us to plunge the " hole matter once
more into THAT vagueness and uncertainty out
q which az the abuses sprang. We supposed
that positive and definite rule had been
substituted for the interested notions of 1O0,-
600 office holders, each probably holding q
different view of his duty. We supposed al
so that a check had been put on the practice
by small officials Of publicly denouncing that
portion q the community from which they
draw half their salaries, and Of candidates
who may at any election become their supe-
rior officers. But it seems as II we were
just where we were last June, and as il the
term offensive partisanship" were again
surrounded by the obscurity, which for some
time after Mr.; Cleveland came into Office de-
prlved II OF large part of its value.
There is one consolation probably in store
for the Mugwumps, and that is, that a stricter
Interpretation Of the order viii in all likeli-
hood be applied to such of the office holders
as are Republicans.
