The Main Line Gone!
The Slain Line of the Public 'Works
of the Commonwealth passed into the
hands of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, on Saturday week. by Pro
elarna,tion of the Governor. The editor
of the Lancaster Intelligence, is infor
med that, under the construction given
to the law by the Governor and Attor
ney General, the Company were not
obliged to pay over the two millions,
or any other sum, but merely to give
their own new bonds for the payment
of the entire amount ($7,5130,1/00) for
which the works were sold ! If this
information be correct, we should like
to know how much the public debt of
the Commonwealth will be reduced by
this fancy operation ! We should have
had no objection ourself to be• the pur
chaser on such terms. Any individual,
or company, coal have bought in the
same way. It is a most capital specu
lation for the Pennsylvania, Railroad
Company, but., we apprehend, it will be
a bad business for the tax-payers of the
Commonwealth.

It:: to tho , tiny" when Mrs. Cunning
lir m was in the Tombs, previous to her • i
triql for the m Toiler of Dr. Burtiell. '
Prcro the evincing+ thus far elicited,
it wro:l4 srein that while in prison Mrs.
Cniini•nxiit n sciit far Dr. David Uhl,
\i ,
her fainil physician.; and intimated
that she was in hn interesting situation;
and that, time exhibited evident, spat ,
ton+Q'tliat such was the fact.
Shortly after the iriteniew with 1)r.
1;111. the murder trial came on. and o r.' •-••
ter her acquittal, she sent for Dr. l'hl
on different occasions. and wished hint
to 'pre.terihe for illness consequent upon
-her presumed state.
'At the' same time she requested tl t
he should attend upon her &trine r •
atimvinehing confinement with a (th il,
of which she said Dr. Harvey Bit ell
was the father.
At her request, Dr. Uhl mimed two
physicians to aid in the delicate matter,, ~
hut from her actions. Which were very di
mysterious, Dr. Uhl suspected that
somethinz WaY:wmng.
The Doctor communicated his sus
picions to one of Hrs. Cunningham's
i
counsel, when he (the e mid.) remark
ed that it was "all ri: ht ," that Ilirs.
Cunningham was in tl family way.
Dr. Uhl then arra' MI that he and -
Dr. Catlin should mak the examination,
hut at. the next inter eiw she opened
her 'mind to Pr. Uhl 'and frankly -eon- - -
fessed that she was not pregnant, bur
remarked at the same time that she in- t
tended to find a child some way or
other. .
This was about three weeks ago,. at
which time she asked 1)r. Uhl to get a
child for her; but on this point, the Doc
tor gave her no satisfaction, as in her
remark he discovered a bad motive.
Some two weeks since Dr. Uhl called
upon District Attorney Mil, at his
private office, and made known to the
public prosecutor all thOT4cts of the sr
fair, which were then in his possession.
The Doctor consulted with his cons
*, several physicians, and friends, all
or whom advised him to act in concert -
with the District Attorney in bringing
to light other facts which migF.t tend to
fasten guilt where it properly bebing,ed.
After this the Doctor visited Mrs.
Cannitrinon oecasiorudiy, and -finally
agreed to aid her in compassing her
ends. On thk °cession it WWI • silo
ranged that Dr. Catlin should officiate/7
as the acconelinnt of Mrs. Cunningham:
Being in n happy mood at that time,
and doubtfeAsly believing that she
would ultimately succeed in recovering
all the property left, by Dr. Burdell,
Mrs. Cunningham remarked that she ,
had Dr. Catlin completely in oipu
