Philip was afraid to look about him. Per-

else she was not here; there was no atmos-
phere of a womans love and care in the
place, somehow. But Curran went on in his

WOMEN OF TURKEY.

Cons tan tinople Letter in San Francisco Chron
 icle.
 It seems to be quite the fashion to regard the women of Turkey as almost universally subjected to the same kind of discipline as were the poor wives Of Btuededrd. Often l have seen trav- elers in this land manifest a feeling akin to disappointment when told by an old resident that much of the con- miseration and sympathy they are in- clined to bestow so lavishly is wasted i; that in their ignorance and childlike simplicity these women count them- selves as favored above their Chris tian sisters, especially those of the aristocracy, who are SO carefully shielded and guarded while those of the middle and lower classes, instead of being kept under lock and key, arc as free to go and come, and to labor for the support of their lord and mas ter-to be, in short, the real bread winner for the whole family-as are those of the same class in some Chris tian lands. have even seen them at work in the fields, like the peasant women of Italy or Germany, but always in purely feminine groups. have never yet seen them yoked with an OK or donkey, as we hear of in some countries not under Noslem rule. Here they are generally employed at home on some of the deft needlework so much sought for and admired-or, as in Brusa (the ancient Mosiem capi- tab and adjacent districts, they are engaged in the culture and maBufac- ture of silk.
 Though always closely yelled and appearing shy and taciturn when met abroad, women of this class are by na- ture eminently social and sufficiently pugilistic when they fancy their rights are in degree infringed upon. In fact, the only listless and really idle women one meets In this country are either the wretchedly poor or the inmates of the seraglio or some wealthy pasha's harem. The latter, especially the young among them, complain bitterly of the monotomy of their life. Two beautiful and sprightly young girls-daughters of high gov- ernment official-recently discoursed most eloquently to us of the delight full freedom of their life when at their

A. f. Cadov vs. ID. l.. Il w. H. H. &C.
The Supreme Court sitting at Harrisburg
on Monday filed an opinion in the case of
Albert E. Cadow VS.. the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western X. X. Co., in which the
Judgment of the court OF this county is re-
versed. On the morning Of January 2Sth,
1884 as Cadow was going to his work at
Lockard's car shops he fell upon the rails
of the defendant at the intersection Of the
railroad with East street, and broke his leg.
He brought suit to recover $4,000 damages,
alleging that the railroad company was
negligent in not keeping the crossing in re-
pair. The case was first tried before srbi.
traitors, and resulted In an award OF 81, $50.
for the plaintiff. From this the defendant
appealed, and the case was tried before
Judge Elwell in October 1885, and at the
close of the plaintiffs testimony CON-
pulsory non-suit was entered. Subsequent
ly the non.srit was stricken off and the
case was tried the second time before
Judge Dreher in May 1887, who sent the
case to the jury, verdict Of $4,000 being
the result. The defendant took out writ
of error and the case was argued in the
Supreme Court last April, Ikeler & Herring
and W. Chrisman being counsel for Cadow
and Col. Freeze aud Geo. E. EIwell for tht
railroad company. The case has excited
much interest as the principles involved art
important. Cadow could have reached hi
destination without crossing the tracks ir
the middle of the street, and the Supreme
Court says in deciding ii favor of the de
fendant, that party cannot recover dam
age for an injury which by the exercise o
reasonable care he might have avoided
This Is the end Of the case.

A contract has been signed this week
which involves the payment Of over $l,-

Columbia county. This land is at the ter.
minus Of new railroad which has just
been finished from Bloomsbury, Pa. To the
foot Of the North Mountain. The road Is
twenty-five miles long, opening up tract
Of 10000 acres Of virgin timber land, un-
touched by the axe and hitherto trodden
by few men. Charles II. Buckalew Is
president Of the new railroad, Morton Nc
Michael Is vice-president, and among the
principal owners are Wharton Barker

The present connection Of the new rail
road is with the Delaware, Lackawanns &

is just across the river from Bloomsbury
and the citizens there have already sub.
scribed large sum toward building q
bridge and making connection with the
Pennsylvania system. The Reading Bail.
road is also about to connect with the new
road.
The country at the end Of the road is wild
and picturesque, and an echo Club" has

On May the United States Express Com

road of New Jersey. The company under
this arrangement will put into effect on
June /, new express service between
New York and Philadelphia, thus entering
as competitor with the Adams Express
Company for large traffic which hereto
fore has been exclusively enjoyed by the
latter company. The new express route
will be made up Of the New Jersey South.

sey Central, from New York to Bayside, on
the Delaware Bay, and steamer line from
Bayside up the Delaware River to Phila.

York at 8 p. IN. and the goods will reach
Philadelphia by o'clock the next morning.
Goods will leave Philadelphia at 8 p. m.
each day and reach New York at Z o'clock
the next morning. The steamer Canonicus,
with capacity OF $50 tons and capable OF
making sixteen miles an hour will ply be.
tween Bayside and Philadelphia to finish
the water service. The express train by
rail will make only three stops between
New York and Bayside; namely, at Red
Bank, Manchester and Bridgeton. At the
last named place the freight accumulated
from the branches and feeders Of the New
Jersey Southern road will be taken up by
| the regular train and carried to Bayside
| By this new route the United States Express
Company will be able to tap large north
ern business and also the express traffic
which comes over the Central of New Jer
sey from its line up into the Scranton regioI
of Pennsylvania. 1t will furnish quick ant
close connections with the rich fruit dis

to furnish as good service at as REASONABLE
rates as their rival offers, but it is probabl
that the new competition may lead to som
cutting Of rates subsequently,, as th
Adams Express Company is not likely t
view the new route with satisfaction. Pres

The features OF the game were the excel
lent work OF Heist, who struck out twelve
men, the good support given him by our
lightning thrower Hayes, who allowed but
one man a steal to base and the fielding OF
the 'ladies' favorite" Sbaffer, Hagenbuch,
Sylvis and W. Ent, who made phenome-
nal catch OF fly ball and excellent throw
10 first, of what appeared to be two-bag-
ger. Housel did well in his new position
at first. Shaffer led at the bat, making
four hits, and was followed closely by
Hagenbuch and Hayes. For the visitors
Griffin exceled, striking out five men and
watching bases very closely; Boyle sup
ported him in q creditsble manner his
only fault being his inability TO throw
to bases. The fielding support was good.
