a. NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENN'A. Tuesday, February 23, 1873. One of tlio members of the City Council in Philadelphia has liccn sentenced to two years in the penitentiary and a fine of $500, for keeping ft gambling house. ' ' ' Local Option Elections. So far as we have heard the returns of the eleotions on the license question on Friday last, the result lit as follows : ' Williatnsport and Lycoming county,gaVe vote against license. The majority will probably reach 3000. '"' eehuylkill county voted for license, by over 2000 majority. ' Altoona also voted for license, while Blair county voted agaimt It. Iii the legislative proceedings last week we find the following, of interest to this county: . ; In the senato, Mr. Ileilinan presented the petition of citizens of Perry and Dauphin counties, numerously signed, piaying for the passage of an act requiring the com missioners of said counties to rebuild the bridge over the Juniata river at or near its mouth, each county to bear half tho ex pense of the same. In the house the same bill was brought up, when Mr. Mahon (Rep., of Franklin) objected to tho bill, on the ground that the courts have jurisdiction ; but the Speaker gave as big opinion that such was not the caso. The bill passed -ryeas CO, nays 21. . It is a pity , that; the . commissioners of this county were not compelled to reduce the present debt, before bp ing asked to ex pend any more money. , If as liberal in bridge contracts as in some of. the Poor House contracts the bridge would be a cost ly affair, . ,. . t the ' Sis-Credit Kolilier Scandal. The committee appointed by the House -to investigate this disgraceful affair, sub tnitted the following Resolutions: "' ' Whereas. Mr. Oakes Ames, a represent tat We in this Mouse from the State of Mas- ' saehusetts, has been guilty of selling to members of Congress shares of stock ot the , Credit Mobilior of America for prices much below the true value of such stock, with in tent therebv to influence the votes and de cision of such members in matters to be brought before Congress for action ; there fore Resolved, That Mr. Oakes Ames be and is hereby expelled from bis seat as a mem ber of this House. 2. iWhoreas, James Brooks, a Represen tative in this House from the state of New York, did procure the Credit Mobilior com pany to issue and deliver to Charles H. Wilson, for the benefit of said Brooks, fifty shares of the stock of said company at a price much below its real value, well know ing that the same was so Issued and deliv ered with intent to influence the votes and decision of said Brook as a member of the House to be brought before Congress for action, and also to influence the action of said Brooks as a government director in the Union Paciflo railroad company ; there fore, " Resolved, That Mr. James Brooks be and be is hereby expelled from bis seat as a member of this House. The consideration of this report comes up for to-day, and there promises to be a lively time. Many objoct to selecting two men for expulsion when over a score of members have been proved equally guilty, and there will probably be an effort made to have other names added to the resolu tion of expulsion. a . ' Importation of Chinese Girls. A few days since a batch of some forty or fifty youthful Chinese women arrived at San Francisco, from China,' in the steamer. The news spread like wild fire among the youthful malo Chinamen in the Chinese quarter, and, attired in their best clothes, they flocked to the wharf to witness the exhilirating spectacle of the landing of the Chinese damsels. . After the custom-house inspectors had examined the new arrivals, the fluttering bovy were transferred in ex press wagons to Jackson street, whore they were to be sold to those desiring a wife The prospect of getting wives was what caused the agitation among the Chinese young men on the occasion, and doubtless they have all been happily suited ere this. BF" A cruel hoax was perpetrated a few days ago upon the Missouri Legislature by the unfounded announcement of the sud den death of Hon. T. J. Kelley, the mem ber from Camden county, of quick con sumption. The customary resolutions were passed, several members availed themselves of the opportunity to air their powers of eulogium, and a committee . was appointed to accompany the remains to the home of the deceased. The conimIttee,having with due solemnity proceeded to the dymicil of the late member, found the remains en gaged at dinner. j Rail Road Collision at Morgan's Corner. I The Pacific express train' ou the Penn sylvania railroad, which loft, Philadelphia at 1140, on Monday , night, met with an accident, at - Morgan's corner,,, about twelve miles west pf the city,, , The acci dent was caused by the , breaking of the rear , of the train, James 8.,, Floyd, a citizen of Philadelphia, and said to be em ployed as a messenger in the .Philadelphia and Reading railroad, company's express service, was instantly , killed, and John Hamilton, on agent of the Union Transfer company, had his legs severely crushed, so that amputatiou will doubtless have to be performed. . j, , .. , 1 ., . . . When the train left Philadelphia it had eight cars attached to it. -When about at Radnor Station, it is supposed the coupling pin broke between tho sixth and seventh car, detaching the two sleepers, from New York, which following in the roar. The front part of the train kept , on its way for a milo, till it reached Morgan's Corner, before the loss was discovered. 1 It then proceeded slowly, keeping a lookout for the detached portion ; but from some unexplained cause tho two sleepers came down the track, and striking the train, telescoped it, and breaking a few of the cars, but throwing nothing from the track The passengers in the two detached sleep ing cars were not even aware that they bad broken loose from the rest of the train Floyd, it appears, was in the rear car of the front portion, and when the collision took place ho raised the window and jump ed out, falling between the north and south tracks, breaking one of his legs, an injur ing himself so severely, internally, as so cause his death a few moments afterwards. State Journal. Tho Speed of Railway Tralus In England. ' Borne interesting details concerning the speed of railway trains in ' England have recently been published. The average rate of speed at which the fastest trains travel is forty-seven and- three-quarter miles an hour. But there are two lines on which this pace is exceeded. The ten o'clock train on the Gieat 'Northern road reaches Peterborough at half-past eleven; the distance is seventy-six and a quarter miles, and the pace fifty-one miles an hour. The quarter to twelve train on the- Great Western makes the' run to Swindon,' seventy-seven and a quarter miles without stopping, does it in one hour and twenty seven minutes, or at the rate of fifty-three and a quarter miles an hour. There are number of Other roads which make at the rate of from forty-five to ttfly-two mile's an hour, but the journey from London to Bath by the quarter to 12 train, is the quickest in the world. Tho distance ie 107 miles, and is done in two hours and thirteen minutes, including a stoppage of ton min utes at Swindon. The actual time in trav elling is two hours and three minutes, some thing over fifty-two miles an hour. . Suicide. ... ' A young man named Spencer, a resident of Noble county, Ohio, had been paying his addresses to a young lady of Salem twp. named Whetstone. Matters had so far progressed that they were engaged. , The relatives of the young lady, it is stated, were opposed to the match, and n teiposed every obslaolo to the consumma tion of the marriage. A short time since two young men, either maliciously or through sport, wrote a disreputable letter concerning the young lady, signing Spen cer's name to it, and counterfeiting bis handwriting as nearly as possible. This lotter was purposely dropped where Miss Whetstone would be sure to find it. , 8he did find it, and, as was natural, was very Indignant at its contents. ,. On the evening of the suicide he mado his usual visit, but was coldly received, was informed of the letter, and dismissed as an unworthy suitor. lie protested bis inno cence, and declared that he knew nothing of the letter ; but she bade him go, telling him she never wished to see him again. He remarked, "If that is the easel will kill myself," . and immediately left the house. A moment after she heard the re- Eort of a pistol, but being alono, with only er mother and sister, sho was afraid to go out, and awaited the return of Mr. Whet stone,, who was. absent. On his return search was made, and young Spencer was round a tew yards lrotn the Douse, with a bullet hole through bis heart, and dead. Local Option Excitement. The Brookville Republican states that some excitement was occasioned recently by tho preconcerted action of the Hotel proprietors of that place in raising the price of accommodations to about double their usual rates. To offset this action of tho hotel men, the temperance and anti-license men met and made arrangements to accom modate those attending court, in private families, at one dollar per day, and so ad vertised by printed posters. To carry out their determination a list of those willing to throw open their houses was made, and as the people came in they were assigned places by a committee of arrangements. : , By this means the little game of the tav ern keepers was brought to grief. : ; 1 . t3TA cow at Rome, Ga., lay down in a damp place the other day, aud her tail froze firmly to the ground. A Southern paper, in giving a pathetic accouut of the affair, says that when the cow got up there was another cold snap the tail actually broke. , A Story of a Physician. A singular story is told: by a Millbrldgo phyeioan, of Rufus Mitchell, . aged; thirty, who recently blod to , death from a . alight cat : , " lie was one of those uufortunate men who bled from the slightest soratoh of the skin, and many times he has. laid and bled till it seemed that the blood had all run out, and then he would gradually re cover. This time the cut was quite large, and ho lived but a few hours. There is something remarkable- , about this family, who are here termed as belonging to the bleeding family None but the males bleed, and they are sons of the females of the same family. For instance this man has left children ; none qf them will bleed, but if the girls should haye boys iu. their fam ilies, they will , bo of the bleeding kind, but the boys are themselves free . and their families will be the same. I cannot explain this. I have practiced in the family for more than twenty years. . During that time a numberof them have died from this cause, and others have bled, often danger ously." . ( . ... . , Carious Stamp Robbery Huddle. , There is a singular case . before the Con gressional Claims Committee, couneoted with the stamp tobbery of the post office at Bridgeport some years since. It seems that $2,000 worth of, stamps were stolon, that the thief was caught and put under bonds of $3,000, and that these bonds were forfeited, so that the United States was $1,000 better off than though the theft had not been committed. . . . But not so the poor postmaster, or rather his estate, the post master having since died. The Post Office Department still holds its claims against the ex-postmaster's bondsmen, beoause it requires an act of Congress to relieve them.. The claim went last year to tho Post Office Committee, and by them has been referred to the Committee of Claims this year.., ... , .' , ; . ., A Singular Accident A curious railroad accident occurred near Yonkers last week. A collision occurred between the engine of the Yonkers special train and the engine going north, by which the engine of the Yonkers train was star ted north at full speed, 1 the Engineer and fireman having jumped off as the engines collided. ; . ; -, 1 ' .:'. . .' i , The detached engine caught the Pongh kecpsie way train north at Hastings plung ing half through the rear coach, which con. tained one passenger, a brakeman named Smith, and assistant conductor Cummings, The, passenger was uninjured, . but ' the brakeman, and assistant conductor were both probably fatally injured.
