WALL STREET
Got BIN Through Autheriz-
imp Sniff Against West Virginia

Got Blu Through Congress-Authoriz-
ing Suit Against West Virginia
New YoRk, March 14.-Some new
developments regarding the Virgin.
ia debt matter have come to light
since the adjournment of Congress
1t was frequently published that a
Wall street syndicate had contract
with the certificate holders whereby
they were to receive a vast profit if
they brought about settlement un-
der their contract. This syndicate
was frequently at Charleston and
the Legislature would never listen
to any of their schemes.
Some time ago it was whispered
that this syndicate had established
confidential relations with a high
official of the treasury department
at Washington, and that he would
aid their scheme by asking Congress
to bring snit against West Virgin
ia and Virginia. the pretext to be
that the United States were the
owners of 1851, 900 of Virginia
Donds purchased before 1860 as
trustee for certain tribes of Indians.
A bill was introduced for the pur-
pose in the last Congress, which
was dropped as it became known
thai it was trick to use the name
of the United States for the bene
fit of Wall Street syndicate
1t seems, however, that just before
Congress adjourned the other day,
some stool pigeon of this Wall
Street syndicate, without attracting
notice added a "rider" to one
section of the appropriation bill, and
this rider" authorized the secreta
ry of the the treasury to bring suit
From a source likely to be reltble
the word comes that if this matter
is probed it will cause a scandal.

NHAT IW0 WOMEN saw.

Two New York women stood in front Of
q Broadway window watching a Persian
weaver laboriously weaving upon frame
almost imperceptibly thread by thread the
pattern grew beneath his hand, until what
had seemed meaningless crossing of dull
threads gradually took on form and beauty.
Suddenly one of the two women began to
repeat the lines:
Weaving, weaving threads of faith
Pattern of woman's heart,
Who can ere anticipate
The hues of life insevefy part3
Will the coloTs warmly glow

Or will they fade in soulber woe7

There is infinite pathos in the way that
women ponder over and try to trace out

An Innovation in sleeptmg car Ser
Ttce Introduced by d. Is o. u. Il.

Commencing Monday. February 18th,
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad will intro
duce new feature in its Sleeping Service,
between Baltimore and Newark, Ohio, in
augurating what will be known as the Or
binary" Sleeping Cars, in addition to the
regular Standard Sleeping Cars. One of
these cars will be attached to Train No Z,
leaving Baltimore at 700 p, ~. and arriving
in Newark % a M. next day, returning
on Train No 8, leaving Newark $50 p. m.
and arriving in Baltimore 1888 p. m, next
day.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is the
first line to introduce this service in the
eastern territory for special accommodation
of the travelling public. In these "Ordi-
nary Sleepers the Pullman rate is reduced
one-half, so that passengers have the choice
of paying the higher Pullman rate and &C.
cupying Standard Car or take advantage of
the cheaper rate and occupying the "ordi-
nery" Sleeper.
These cars are new, have been especially
constructed for this service, and differ from
the Standard Sleeping Cars only in being
less deliberately furnished The seats are
upholstered in rattan, and the sleeping
berths, when made up, have all the COM
forts and conyeniences of the Standard
Cars.
Tickets will be on sale at regular Pull
man ticket offices handling business be-
tween these cities.

A woman's life pattern is really woven
by herself. A great philosopher has said
Life is neither pain, nor pleasure it is
serious business" If a woman would make
