Tho Jlaihcay Age in commenting
on tho unexpectedly largo mileago of
completed railway construction for the
first quarter of 18S7, snys that from
January 1 to April 1 no less than
1,010 miles of new main track havo
havo been laid on 49 different lines in
25 of th states and territories. This
is a larger total than has been recorded
for any provious year up to tho samo
date, except in 1882, when the con
ittructlon for tho entiro year reached
1 1,508 milef. The track laying for tho
year is cstimntod at from 8,000 to
10,000 milos.
"Only three Presidents beforo Mr.
Cleveland," says tho Washington Star,
"havo had tho pleasure of celebrating
their semi-centennials while in that
office. T"sp were James K. Polk,
1 ranklm Pierce and General Grant,
James A. Garfield would have been
fifty years old had Guiteau's ballet been
a month later in concluding its latal
work. President (Jleveland has the
advantage in years of many of his
predecessors. Washington wa fifty-
seven when ho was inaugurated, John
Adams, sixty-two, Jeuereon, Madison,
and John Quincy Adams, fifty-eight;
Monroe was litty-nino, Jackson, sixty
two, VanBuren, fifty-five and Harrison,
sixty-eight. General Grant was tho
youngest and Harrison tho oldest of
the Presidents."
John Wanamaker has placed, in the
tower abovo the wholesale-department
of his establishment, a set of chiming
bells. There aro fivo bells, weighin
respectively 227, 350, 410, 917 an
3,018 pounds. The largest will bo
used to strike the hour. Tho others
will form a Westminster chime, which
will striko a musical chord. They will
strike four times at the end of the first
quarter, eight times at the second,
twelve times at the third and sixteen
times at the end of the fourth. The
bells were founded in Baltimore. The
olook was constructed in Boston. Tho
dial plates are ten feet in diameter. Tho

The dispute between President Jud ere
Furst and Associate Judges McCarthy
and Foreman, of Huntingdon, is a
somewhat startling reminder of the
usually slumbering power of lay Asso
ciate judges in Pennsylvania, in the
case referred to, the Associate over
ruled the President Judge, not merely
on a question of judicial discretion, but
on a question of law. Judge Furst
delivered a written opinion declaring
that, under the law as interpreted by
the Supreme Court, the court was
bound to grant licenses where there
was visible need for them and no law
ful objections to the applicant; but tho
Associate Judges overruled the Pres
ident Judge's construction of the law
auu jjiituiiicaiiy euiuruuu pruuiumoa uy
refusing all licenses.
it is proposed to appeal tho caso to
the Supreme Court; but we don't see
what remedy is afforded there. The
granting of licenses is so largely
matter of judicial discretion that the
Supreme Court would not be likely to
make a law mandatory that is not ao-
ceptod as made mandatory by tho let
ter or spirit of the statute. Other
courts of tho State have interpreted
the licuuso laws as warranting the ab
solute refusal of licenses ou grounds of
public policy; and tlm fact that the de
cision is made in Huntingdon bv the
Associate Judges in reversal of the Pres
ident or J. a i Judge of tho court, noes
not in any way impair tho sanctity of
ui inu juugineiu.
It is not generally known, but it is
none tho lets true, that the Associate
Judge is as potential as the President
Judgo when tho judgment of tho Court
is to be rondered. It is rare that the
lay Associato Judge assumes to over
rule the President Judge on a question
of law, but it is not because it i not
his prerogative to do so. The Hunt
ingdon Associates in tho caBo in ques
tion rendered tho judgmoct ot the
Court, and Judge Furst is simply in
the minority of ono with two against

Justice to Our Judges.
There is nn unreasonable preludieo
in tho minds of some of bur legislators
against tho pending bill granting nn an
nuity to retired Judges who snail navo
served twenty years on tho bench nnd
reached n certain ngo. It is nssuined
by soino that the principlo Is nutl-Ho-publican
and a dangerous precedent in
a popular government but thoy forget
that it has been a feature of our gov
ernment from its foundation and appli
cable to classes with certainly no more
and often less claim upon tho generosity
of tho government than has tho Judge
who giv s tho vigor of his life to tho
administration ot justice. Tho Army
nnd tho Navy olllcers aro rutin d nt
sixty-two on part pay, regardless of
merit as public servants, and the Judg
es ot the supreme Uourt ot the nation
can retiro at n certain ngo alter tvn
years of judicial service, on full pay
fur life.
Tho principle of an annuity to re
tired Judges is based on tho clearest
and broadest demands of justice. The
Judge who is called from the bar to
administer justice, must be well on to
war 1 the noontide of life nt least, and
when ho has served twenty years on
the bench, ho it", is a rule, unfitted to
return to the struggles of the bar. In
deed, the Judge who could return to
successful practice after twenty years
of judicial service, must bo more of an
advocate than n Judge, and that class
seldom command a re-election to the
bench. It must bo remembered, also,
that our Judges nro practically exclud
ed from the ordinary channels of thrift
which aro open to all other men of
their intelligence. Tho nature of their
office excludes them from business en
terprises around them which must often
cotuo beforo tho Courts w.lth issues for
judicial determination ; and the Judge
is thus substantially limited to his sal
ary for his livelihood and provision for
his old ago and his family. Viewed
from any ard every standpoint, the
Judge who has served twouty years on
the benoh nnd reached his three score
y.ars, has tho strongest claim upon the
justico of the Staio for an annuity upon
his retirement.
Tho writer hereof has personally
known of Judges in this Stato distin
guished for their ability and integrity
on tho bench, who died in absolute
want. They had given tho whole vig
or of their lives to"the administration
of justice until tho infirmities of age
unlit ted them for sucoess at the bar,
and they languished in sorrow and
nepd until the long halt gave them rest.
This should not be in a great Stato liko
Pennsylvania, where there is universal
pride in the faithful protection to per-
son and property given by our honest
Judiciary, and tho hill now before the
Legislature should not bo regarded as
an appeal to tho generosity of the
Commonwealth, but an appeal to Us
mauly senso of justice.
There are hardly more than half a
dozen Judges in the State to-day who
could now bo beneficiaries under tho
bill in question, and two of the number
are on tho Philadelphia bench. Prcsi
dent Judges Allison and Hare have
each given raoro than thirty consecu
tive years to judicial service," and Presi
dent Judge Thayer will reach hiss -ore
of years as Judge in 1888. The veter
an Ex-Judges Pearson, of Harrisburg,
and Fisher, of York, rank with Allison
and Hare as survivors of tho Judges
first elected in 1851, who served thirty
consecutive years, and who would deny
them the recognition of a small annuity
to mellow tho evening of their days ?
Judges Allison, Haro and Thayer are
all yet vigorous in the judicial harness,
but why should they not be free to re
tiro on part salary at any time thoy
feel that their responsibility and exact
ing duties become oppressive ? Tho
peoplo will not discard them because of
the universal appreciation of their ex
ceptional usefulness, but a majority of
them have no fortune upon which they
can retire, and they aro compelled to
accept judicial duties as long as it shall
be possible for them to pciform the
labor.
It is an open secret that tho late
Judgo Ludlow's illness was aggravated
by the apprehension that broken health
would compel him to retiro from tho
benoh, afier thirty years of tho most
enlightened and faithful judicial servico
without moans of suppoit; and it is
also an open secret that the late Judge
Peirce would not havo been renominat
ed last fall if he could have been ro
tired on an annuity. He was known
to be broken in health and enfeebled
mentally, but the popular appreciation
of his judicial service gave him a
unanimous re-eleoiion rather than re
tire hira without reward to die. Tho
people were more just than is the State,
and there is no section of Pennsylvania
whero the people would not gladly be
just, even generouly just, to tho Judg
es who havo given the golden period of
their lives to the faithful protection of
person and property. By - ho passage
of the pending bill the State would,
therefore, bj fairly reflecting that gen
eral sense of justice that is so deeply
grounded in the American people, and
we earnestly urge its enactment as
equally just to the Commonwealth and
to her veteran Judges. l'hila. Times.

IMPROVED SERVICE AND FASTER TIME
TAKE THE PLACE OF COJIIUNATIIINS
IN THIS HTICUGOI.K FOR TKA1IE
UNDER THE NEW LAW.
Thero aro as many thoories in re
gard to tho inter-state commorco act as
thero are speculations in reference to
the effect of the now law. Most of tho
railroad managers insist that it will
havo a disastrous intlueuco on the
transportation business, whilo others
who by careful consideration of the
subject, without pecuniary interest in
it, take tho opposite view. Between
the.-o conflicting opinions it is difficult
to arrive at a oorrect estimate of tho
matter. Ono thing is certain, however,
that will bo commended. That is, that
most of the railroad companies havo
accepted tho situation in good humor
and with appnient good faith, and
havo endeavored to conform their
affairs to the new coudilious. It may
bo remaiked, that tho railroad compan
ies are striving to earn by better ser
vice tho patronage that was previously
obtained by combinations or pooling
processes, and that change is certainly
for the better.
This fict was demonstrated by Mr.
C. O. Beeber. the eastern nabbonuer
agent of tho andalia system, in a
conversation with a reporter the other
,Io (.V.m r.. ll.,l.n. I
"our system has accepted the con
ditions of the new law. No doubt it
will break up tho combinations by
which wo wt ro enabled to get busiuecs
from tne eastern roads, but wo antici-
pato no material loss from that fact.
Wo will try by affording the boat
Wo will try by allowing the boat ao
tommodutions and the fastest trains to
hold our own. For iuslance,
mo jumerx. mluu uyur uiauu in mis
country for eighteen continuous'
miles, on any railroad, was mado the
other day on our lino, between High
land and Collinsvillc, a distance of
eighteen and seven-tenth miles. I no
run was mado in sixteen minutes, being
an nvorogo of sovonty and ono eighth
miles nn nour, or n mllo in about 51$
seconds, tho exact fraction being 03.187.
'J ho best record for a liko distaiico was
mado in England tomo years ngo, by a
special train carrying tho Duke of
Wellington from J'nddmgton to aiotign,
eighteen miles, In fifteen minutes, be
ing a speed of seventy-two miles per
hour or a mile in filtv seconds. The
Vnndalia's record will stand against
this, nud havo n permanent placo in the
annals of rapid railroading, us tho dis
tanoo Is not only longer by soven-lcnlhc
of n mile than tho distance traveled by
Wellington's train, hut has tho disad
vantage shared by nil tho American
roads of grades nud curve that tho
iron horse is not oalled upon to com
pete with in England. Tho road
beds aro as smooth as a billiard table
and as straight as a sunbeam ; here, as
everybody knows, two miles of straight
i ail are a curiosity. Thoreforo tho
Vandalia's run, which is only very
llttlo shorter thon tho record train here
quoted, is all tho moro remarkable."
Speaking on tho samo subject another
railroad man said to tho reporter bo
long as the law was administered im
partially no bad effects could be felt by
regular railroad corporations. Where
competing lines existed tho only effect
would bo to stimulate each to exertions
in order to securo tho business. "For
example," he said "much advantage
will be obtained by prompt and excel
lent delivery service. When thero aro
two companies in competition tho ono
that can mako delivery at the terminal
best will soon find the business drift
ing in its direction.''
"Tho interest which will Buffer most
on account of tho now law will be
transportation companies that have
cars but aro without rojd bods,'' an ex
perienced railroad manager said to the
reporter. "By this 1 mean such con
cerns as the Union line, the White Star
line, tho Peipher line and similar cor
porations. Thoy obtain their business
by securing special torms of wheel
tolls for carrying their freights. These
conditions will, of course, be prevented
in the future, and theso corporations
will have no better terms from the rail
roads over which they run their cars
than private individuals or individual
Bhippers can procure. Naturally this
will take away their profits and leave
them without an incentive to do busi
ness. But outido of that, I can't see
how tho new law can have a damaging
effeol ou transportation companies."
Carlisle for Cleveland.
A St. Louis dispatcb,datcd April 15,
says:
Congressman Carlislo and wife
passed through St. Louis to-day on
their way to Wichita, Kan., to visit
their two sons living there. When
asked what ho thought of tho claim
that the Democrats were losing ground,
Mr. Carlisle answered:
"I don't see where wo aro losing.
Wo havo not lost a single State yet
which we have had, but, on the other
hand, have gained one Rhode Island
and I think wo stand a very good
chance of getting Massachusetts. That
does not look like losing ground. The
Democrats will certainly carry the
country at tho next Presidential elec

"Oh, Mr. Cleveland, I suppose. I
don't think there's much doubt about
that."
"Ho is your choice t"
"Yes; I think he ought to bo re

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington. D. 0., April 18, 1887.
Tho Commissioners of the District
of Columbia havo done all in their pow
er to make Sunday "blu"'"in Washing
ton. I hey have resurrected the old
"closing laws'' which havo long mould
ered in the statute book and aro rigid
ly enforcing them. Not only saloons,
but every sort of an establisnmont
whore trade is carried on for profit, ex
cept apoiheoiry shops and undertaking
ectablUhmenU, aro to bo tightly clos
ed.
Yesterday was the second Sunday
since tho old, now law wont into effeot.
On the preceding Sunday crowds of
thirsty men were seen leaving tho "dry''
city and going in tho direction of the
taverns in the country roads in the vi
cinity. Long beforo dark the suburbau
bars wero "closed", not becanso it was
Sunday, hut because their supply of li
quids was exhausted. There was no de
ficiency yesterdav at theso places. Dur
ing the week beer wagons and grocery
teams from the city stocked all the
country hotels, taverns and "road-
houses ' with liquor sufficient to supply
the expected demand.
A close observer of tho dietetic habits
of theCahinethasdiscoveied, and given
to tuu worm the result ot his research
es, that tho only total abstainer who
sits at Mr. Cleveland's Council B.iard
is Attorney General Garland. He also
discovered that Secretary vVhituey's
liquor bills were very large, owing to
his liberal hospitality. If anything
wero needed, however, to demonstrate
the leaning of tho President towards
the temperance cause, it is only neces
sary to point to tho recent exumpla set
in this respect by the mistress of tho
White House, who, without tho least
trase of fanaticism or intolerance,
occupies tho position that tho drinking
of intoxicating liquors is ncithci a
proper thing to dc nor to enoourago.
It will bo remembered that when at
the Diplomatic Stato dinner tho cus
tomary seveu or eight wines were serv
ed, as usutil, to tho guests, Mrs. Cleve
land took only water.
Mrs. Cleveland's interesting person
ality continues to afford much mater
ial for the gossips and tho press. Her
moat trivial Bayiugs and doings, and
many things which she has never said
or done, aie constantly primed. She
is now enjoying a seaaon of quiet re
tirement and rest at the President's
couutry plac, "Oak View," nnd has
not been to tho While Houso for a
fortnight.
The novel proposition lias been mado
that all the ladies who havo presided
ai hostess of tho Executive Mansion
inako arrangements for a nuctlng and
reception in Washington. All tho for
mer PresideutB havo passed away, but
thoro aio still living eleven ladies who
havo occupied the position of first lady
of the land. Theso nro the widow of
l'reiddout Tyler and Mrs. Seinple, her
slcp-daughttr, now au inmate of the
Louise ilomo in this city, who, during
tho period between her own mother's
death and the sicqud marriage of her
father, was the head of his household
at tho White House. Then there aro
tho widow of Prcsidont Polk, and Mrs.
Johnson, the nieco of President Bu
chanan, who was four years tho mis
tress of tho Mansion ; Mrs. Patterson,
tho daughter of President Johnson ;
Mrs. Grant, who had tho position for
eight yjari Mrs. Hayes, who had it
for tour Airs, uarheld, who had it
only tdx months ; Mrs. MoElroy, tho
lato President Arthur's sister, who was
lady of tho White Houso during part
of each of the three years of his term ;
Miss Heso Cleveland, who reigned
fifteen months, and lastly, tho young
wifo of tho President.
When, last evening, General Georgo
bhcridan repeated by request, his loo
turo on "Tho Modern Pagan," which
was, by tho way, an attack and a refu
tation of Ingcrsollism, ho was intro
duced to the nudienco by tho Liouten
ant General of tho Army. They nro
friends and admirers of caoh other but
are not relatives. Tho lecturer says
ho is constantly asked what relation fie
is to General "Phil.'' Ho answered
the question humoiously ouco, in a
political ppoi ch. "So that thero can
bo no misunderstanding,'' siid ho, "I
will stato that I urn neither his father
nor his brother nor his uncle nor his
wifo's aunt's sister's mother-in-law." In
fact, ho was no possiblo relation of tho
great soldier.
"General George," as he is called by
his fricuds, owes his titl' of Goneral to
having onco been Adjutant-General of
Louisiana. He was elected to tho
Forty-third Congress from that state,
but his election was contested by ex
Governor Pinchback, and ho was not
awarded his seat until tho closing
hours of the last day of the last session,
just in time to draw his pay for two
yeais service, mileage, and oxpeuss of
contest, amounting in all to about
fourteen thousand dollars.
Abraham Lincoln's Body,
Oil April 14, tho remains of Presi
dent and Mrs. Lincoln wero privately
taken from their secret resting placo iu
Springfield and interred in tho north
vault of tho Lincoln monument in Oak
Itidgo Cemetery. Less than a dozen
persons, members of the Lincoln Monu
ment Association and Lincoln Guard
of Honor, were present For years
the whereabouts of tho remains of tho
great President and his wife have been
kept secret from anxiety that thoy
would be stolen. Tho actaal attempt
to carry off his body in 1876 was the
moving cause of the formation of the
guard of honor, which organization
secreted it and have just surrendered
the charge.
Tho secret gravo was directly under
the north baso of tho obelisk, about
thirty feet from tho north entrance but
only accessible through the south door.
Tho body of Mr. Lincoln was in a
walnut coffin, lined with an air tight
lead lining nbout one-eighth of nn inch
thick. The walnut coffin was in a
cedar box and tho cedar box was in
closed in a pine box. Mrs. Lincoln's
remains were similarly inclosed. When
tho lid of the President's coffin was ro
moved, his face was seen to be in a re
markable slate of preservation. Those
who stood around and had known Lin
coln when alive, easily discerned the
features. They wero very distinct.
The silver plato on the coffin lid was
bright.
Whilo the remains of Mr. Lincoln
were exposed to view General Reese,
president of tho Guards of Honor,
timed tho remains of Mr. Lincoln over
to tho Lincoln Monument Association.
Tho coffin was then sealed up and
taken out by tho workmen and caniid
around to the vault on the north side.
The members of tho two associations,
and a si ranger or two who happened
to bo looking at the monument fol
lowed. In the north vault the floor
had been taken up. A bole eight feet
long, by six wide, and five and a half
feet deep, bricked up and cemented,
had been prepared.
The President's coffin was placed in
this grave, on tho west side. The cof
fin containing Mrs. Lincoln's remains,
which had 'ecn .brought from the so
cret grave before the oiher coffin, was
then brought to the vault and placed
on the east side of her husband. A
brick arch was then built over tho cof
fins. This was covered with cement,
mixed with small, broken rock.
The marble sarcophagus, in which
the public have supposed the remains
to be, is still in the vault.
