Mrs. A. NJ. Dauphin, of No. 1889 Ridge ave-
nue., Philadelphia, is well known to the ladies
of that city from the great good she has done
by means OF Lydia L. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound. She writes Mrs. Pinkham of u
recent interesting case: "Ayoung married lady
came to me suffering with a severe case of
Prolapsus and liberation. She commenced
taking the Compound and in two months was
fully restored. In proof OF this she soon found
herself in an interesting condition. Influenced
by foolish friends, she attempted to evadc the
responsibilities of maternity. After ten or
twelve days she came TO me again, and she
was indeed in o most alarming state and sui-
fercd terribly. l gave her n tablespoonful of
the Compound every hour for eight hours until
she fell asleep. She awoke much relieved and
evidently better. She continued taking the
Compound, and in due season she became the
mother of q fine, healthy boy. But for tho
timely use OF the medicine she believes her lifC
would have been lost"

CHANGE IT TO MULE SERVICE.
what is Proposed of Route Running
Out of Alexandria.


Il is important that Congress should
amend the law In regard TO contractors for
star route mail service. The law should re-
quire these contractors to perform the
service when they take the contracts.
There are certain spectators who invade
all the states bitlding for contracts, and,
when obtained, travel over the country TO
cell or sublet these contracts. The result
is In maj Y cases irresponsible parties be-
come suhcontractors, aud the service per-
formed in a very indifferent and Inferior
manner. IL would seem but fair aud right
for the citizens of Ohio, Maryland, Virginia,
or any other state TO have the contracts for
the local mail service Of their respective
states.
An outsider, Spectator in mail con-
tracts cares nothing for the local interests
of the people. The contracts perhaps are
low enough, but can 1t be possible that this
great government Is so niggardly that 1t
cannot afford to pay q fair price for re-
spectacle transportation OF Its mails? A
man came here from Missouri and among
the many contracts he took was one from
Alexandria to the Theological Seminary.
For two years very responsible, good
man had the contract, for which he received
5000 a year six times a week, carryall,
horse, and himself-about So cents a day.
Then came Kentuckian and underbid
him to $l4S. This year a Mlssourlan gets
IL for about $3.50, and sublet II TO another
irresponsible party, who carries the mail on
q mule for $130. Better change 1t from
star to mule service.

WE n1a RAILROAD DEAL
Likely 20 Cause n Removal Of Omcos
Back TO Richmond.


The recent purchase by the West Point
Terminal Railway and Warehouse Com
pany OF controlling interest in the Rich
mond and Danvllle railroad has caused
considerable talk here, aud In some quar-
ters Il ia supposed that the headquarters
now in this city will be removed 10 Rich
mond, Va. IL is the opinion OF all the
Richmond papers that, because Gen. 7. NJ.
Logan and Mr.. Jas. b. Pace, Of Richmond,
are interested with the purchasers,
therefore the Offices viii be taken there.
On last Saturday all the old directors Of the
Richmond and Danville resigned, and new
board OF directors was elected, consisting Of
Alfred Sully, the general manager OF the
Corbin Banking Company, one Of the men
most prominent In the reorganization of the
Reading, the man who bought the Long
Island road from Drexel, Morgan e. Co.,
the moving spirit in the Indiana, Blooming
ton and western, and prominent director
In other eastern roads; Gen. 4. NJ. Logan,
OF Richmond, who secured the capital for
Its organization and lost control when the
stock became the balloon of Wall street;
Emanuel Lehman, OF Lehman Brothers,
cotton merchants; John A. Rutherford, a
former director Of the company under the
old management; George +. Stone, cap.
itallst OF New York, and Isaac l.. Rice. OF
the law firm Of Rice, Friend Il BLUR, New
York, who, representing foreign capitalists,
was the prime mover I'm bringing about the
change.
The new board Immediately elected Al.
fred Sully president and L. NJ. Logan vice
president. Tho sale Is considered to be a
good one for tho Clyde party, as they
bought their stock In the market from 30
to 40 and sold out at $235.

The United states Gets the Aqueduct
Site for Free Bridge.

A meeting OF the Alexandria Canal Com
parry was leld yesterday in. Alexandria at
the Market building, President Wheat pre-
siding. There was large attendance,
among the number being Solicitor McCue,
Of the Treasury Department; ex-Gov. II. II.
Wells, and Arthur A. Blmey, of this city.
By unanimous vote the company adopted
resolution confirming the contract DO.
tween the lessees and the canal company,
made last October, aud gave full consent to
the sale OF the Aqueduct for the purpose OF
a free bridge. $3.50 shares, oil present,
voted for the resolution. This concludes
the relation the Alexandria Canal Com.
pany to the free bridge. and in substance
gives the United States the site OF the Aque
duct to make free bridge there.
Now that the cause for tedious delay in
having the free bridge 20 Arlington has
been removed, II is believed that the gov.
eminent will 90 forward, with all the ex-
petition possible, in completing the struc.
tufe, and provide the public with what has
been go long aud badly needed. IL Is not
known how much time will be requisite IN
raising tho superstructure, but those com
petent to Judge assert that six monthS
should be ample In which to do the work. AZ
the present time the travel over the
\ Long bridge is very great aud unprece
dented as to vehicles aud foot travellers. Ir
order to get accurate knowledge n count
was recently made, and IL was found that
$500 persons used the bridge in one day.
Since the causeway has been improved, al
though not yet finished, the travel has in
creased, and now the bridge has become
the popular route into Virginia.
