A NEW MoToR.- The Philadelphia
Telegraph reports Mr.. p. A. b. WIDEN
RE as saying that the new motor which
the Traction Company intends to test
will arrive in that city in week or two.
Mr.. WDENER went on to tell something
about the new motor. He said:
81 am not thoroughly familiar with
the motor, but l think that it is a good
one. 1t is the work of an English in
yentor. At present il is in operation
on some of the tramway lines in the
larger English cities. 1t is so powerful
that as many as ten cars are moved on
the level aud on grades by the one
motor. Then the cars are double
decked, and thousand people are fire.
quently carried on one OF these trains,
making the. expense, of course, very
small. We cannot use the motor with
the present roadbeds in this city. The
old wooden road beds are too hight.
When the motor comes We will give it
practical test, using the lower end of the
Observation-Disclosures branch, be-
N""'N et+At wac 4NNNAiiN lulAl, anu IN
strong and solid enough TO stand any
sort OF motor. The tracks for the new
motor will have TO be as strong as for
any steam railroad. All the new motors
require stronger road. beds than those
now in use"
Mr.. Widener said that he didn't know
much about the motor. The Traction
Company bought IL ON the reeomnenda
ton OF the people who examined it and
believed that II would do all that was
claimed for it. The motor uses fuel, and
desirable feature OF it is that il con-
snmes its own smoke. IL costs less than
an electric motor, and Is admirably
adapted for carrying cars over steep bills
and grades. In case the test proves
satisfactory, the motor will at once be
added TO the cars now drawn by horses.

One o'clock having arrived the first
special order-the bill to establish a nor
NAL school at William and Mary College
in connection with its collegiate course
came up.
Mr. geaton opposed this new de-
parture as entailing considerable adj
ditional expense, and said that while he
had no special objection to this bill he
believed the policy to be a bad one under
the present financial condition Of the
State.
Mr.. Stubs, the patron of the bill,
spoke at some length upon the necessity
OF having a normal school where males as
well as females (who are taught at the
Farmville Instituted might be prepared
for the business OF teaching. He thought
the state could well afford it. and gave
a number OF statistics to prove his state
ments.

Gen. Sam. Houston and his first
wife parted in a few hours after
they were married, and he went to
Texas. The cause of their separa-
ton was the discovery by him of
the fact that she loved another man
and had been persuaded 10 marry
Houston by her parents. AS soon
as the General found this out he
told her that he would leave her.

Carlisle had narrow escape in hold
ing his seat in Congress. When the
question came to a final vote yester-
day, an amendment was offered to
send q committee down to Mr.. Car

ter before the question should be
finally disposed of. Seven promi
nent democrats vetoed for the
amendment, and Mr.. Carlisle Sc
cured his seat by tue small majority

SENATOR RANDALL, with an eye
always directed to the best interests
of the State and his constituents,
Yesterday presented joint resolutions
representing the Importance OF pro-
yiding an asylum for the "idiotlc
and feeble minded" in the State,
and pointing out the proprlety OF
purchasing from the United States
the Naval Hospital and grounds,
being a part Of what is known as the
Government Farm, near this city,
as a suitable building for the pur-
pose. This building was erected
years ago as a Naval Hospital for
the Naval Academy, and has scarce
" had an occupant since its erection
because of the very extraordinary
healthfulness Of the location of the
Academy on q part of the territory
that formerly belonged to Annapo-
lis city. This building is well adapt
ed for the purposes Mr.. Randall has
in view, and ought to be purchased
at very moderate price, as it is
perfectly useless to the government
for any present or prospective pur-
pose likely to arise.
There are nearly one thousand
idiotic and predetermined persons
in this State who are now subslstlng
at home, or at alms-houses, with
out a thought of improving their
condition, and treated in many in
stances with less loving care than
the beasts of the field. Such an in
stitution as Mr.. Randall suggests
would be haven of rest to these
unfortunates and a charity that
would inflict honor on our State.
We hope the resolutions will be
unanimously adopted by the legis-
lature, and that our senior U. 5.
Senator will take active steps to
have the sale and tranfer of the
property consummated by Congress
this winter.

IxroRNArIoN from South, West

REFORMATION from South, West
and Rhode rivers is to effect, that the
dredgers are literally tearing the
oyster-bars to pieces. They dredge
on the bars and Gull in deep water,
not only taking the marketable oys-
tiers, but putting the growing pro-
duct where they will be inaccessible
to the tongers hereafter. Sanders /,
Thomas and Holland Island Points
are almost depleted, and il tonger
can catch from eight to ten bushels
a day on any Of these points now,
he is exceedingly fortunate. The
tongers are making loud complaints
against Capt. Lee, who has charge
of the Police schooner for those
points, and it is said will appear be-
fore the Board of Public Works IN
regard to his apparent neglect. 1t
is said that one officer in the police
force has an interest in sixteen dred-
gers. If this be true it is no won
der the the dreders go Scott-free.

We learn from Dun & Co.'S week :
" review of trade up to the close Of
this week, that the Lehigh and
Reading strikes grow more effective
and are stopping many manufactur-
ing establishments. Though actual
deliveries of Anthracite are larger
than for the same weeks last year,
operators and retailers vie with each
other in putting up prices. Power
ty of miners causes serious appre
hension among traders who remem-
Der that their losses after the strike
of 1875 were theer- fourths of their
accounts. The Iron Association re-
port 6 HILLS tons ofpig made last
year, gain OF 13 per CT, but I'M
sold stocks increased S4,915 tons.
1t is noteworthy that Southern pro-
duction was only 6 per cent, over
that of 1886. But for activity in
hip, bridge and car building, the
+, rade would be less hopeful. The
business failures during the last
seven days are in number with the
corresponding week of last year
276.

Rev. DIR. Pierson, of Philadelphia
is about right when he says that
churches as now constituted are not
for the poor. They may have poor
preachers, poor religion and poor
singing, but they are not for poor
people. There is too much pomp
and show in our churches and many
well.intentioned poor do not attend
because they cannot cloth them
selves in fine and costly raiment.

BOiIs and CarbunCIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsapariila after comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. C. X. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was at
fiicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time, He then began the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years lie has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one Of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capficious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of q scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgurcd by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need OF
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla fair
trial, - avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail TO effect a cure. but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised TO remedy.
