- The present Circulation of THE
TIMES exceeds NINETEEN HUNDRED
copies. Our mailing list Is always opon
to the Inspection of advertisers.
Another veto Ib expected to-day, as
It is said the President disapproves of
tha legislative bill which was sent to
lilin on Friday last.
A persistent eirort Is being made at
Washington to bring about a restoration
of the Income tax, and It is even likely
that the promoters of such legislation
will have things, much their own way.
The South is in the ascendant just now,
and that section Is as anxious to restore
the income tax as It was to reduce the
duty on tobacco, and for the same rea
son. The announcement of a two per cent,
dividend by the Pennsylvania railroad
will be pleasant news to thousands of
people in this and other States who have
been holding on to the favorite stock
through good and evil report until now.
The increased profits of the road have
justified this move, and now that' the old
time fashion has been once more inaug
urated, we hope it will be a long time
before any cause arises to forego it. The
two per cent, livldend Is equivalent to
one dollar per share of stock, and will
require $1,377,500.
Rail Road Leased.
On last Wednesday afternoon the
Philadelphia & Beading Railroad Com
pany took possession of the North
Pennsylvania and Bound Brook rail
roads, under lease for nine hundred and
ninety-nine years. It is said that the
principal reason for leasing these lines
is to secure an independent outlet for
coal by rail to the waters of New York
Bay, and thus materially increase its
coal tonnage. The present cash cost
of transporting the company's coal to
New York is 85 cents per ton, but by its
oiew route it can be done readily for 50
cents per ton, which, computed on a
million and a half tons shipped anually,
is a great saving to the company.
Although it has not attracted so
much attention as some others, the bill
relating to the transfer of cases from
State to Federal courts is as dangerous a
measure as any which have been lately
brought forward, whiuh is saying a good
deal. At present if a Federal officer in
the execution of his duty lays himself
open to indictment for some penal of
fence, he can demand trial in a Federal
court. It is now proposed to do away
with this, and no great shrewdness is
necessary to perceive what the conse
quences would be. Suppose, for instance,
a revenue officer in making a raid upon
some illicit still in Kentucky on Ten
nessee should be driven to commit hom
icide, he would, if this law was passed,
be tried In the local court, and the kind
of justice he would be likely to get from
a local jury can be imagined. Under
such a system it would be simply im
possible to carry out the laws.
A Check for One Cent.
George S. Gorham closed Lis accounts
as Secretary of the .Senate on Tuesday.
' After eleven years' service,during which
he has disbursed many millions for the
United States Senate is the most expen
sive legislative body on earth he closed
his account for the first time. It was
- found at the department that there was
one cent owing him. In an official let
ter, which had to be copied, recorded,
numbered, etc., the United States Treas
urer notified Gorham of the balance on
settlement, and requested that he would
draw his check for the amount. With
the same precision as though $1,000,000
was at stake the check was drawn. A
messenger conveyed it to the Treasury,
The books were searched to see If the
amount was to Gorham'scredit,and then
the cent was paid a big copper one,
which Mr. Gorham proposes to keep for
luck forever. It seems that if he had not
drawn the balance it would have gone on
forever among the liabilities of the Treas
ury, and occasioned any amount of
trouble to the clerks.
Wednesday's Storm. '
Beading, May 21. A violent rain
and hail storm, accompanied with
high wind, passed over this city and
surrounding country this afternoon.
Beports from different parts of the coun
ty say considerable damage was done to
fruit trees, grain crops, fences, etc., and
in several instances buildings were
struck by lightning. In the city no
damage Is reported, excepting the flood
ing of cellars with water. Fruit trees
were also more or less damaged. The
storm also passed over Lltlf, Ephrata,
and other points in Lancaster county,
considerably Injuring fruit trees, blow
ing down fences, eto. In Lancaster the
house of Mr. Lyte, business manager of
'The Examiner aud Express," was
struck by lightning and set on Are. The
roof of the building, and also of the two
adjoining buildings, was burned off be
fore the flames were extinguished. The
inmates of the house escaped without
Injury.
A Woman Cured by Prayer.
The Bridgeport Standard says: The
quiet village of Stratford, Conn has been
having a little sensation on Its own
hook in the healing way. The matter
has been kept very quiet, and until now
the particulars of the case, have never
been made public. A widow of that
place, aged 42, has been confined to her
bed for about three years with a painful
disease, contracted, as it is supposed by
overwork. She had been treated by a
number of prominent physicians with
out success, and had almost despaired of
relief. Hearing of the prayer cures of
Mrs. Mix, of Wolcottvllle, she began
thinking about calling upon her for
assistance, and made up her mind to do
so, when the thought occurred to her
that what Mrs. Mix could do by prayer
and faith she also might do by the same
means. She resolved to try the experi
ment, and for about a week prayed that
she might be made whole. At last, she
claims, her prayer was answered. She
felt a peculiar thrill run through her,and
Immediately afterward she arose from
her bed and walked. She called out, and
her friends and neighbors rushed in,
and were surprised at the sight of the
sick woman standing upon her long
unused feet and able to walk. The lady
afterward attended church, manifesting
great joy at her sudden recovery. This
was about three weeks ago, and she has
since remained as well as ever. She
had been under medical treatment in
New York and New Haven, but had
abandoned it some time before her sud
den cure.
A Bride's Letter.
Score one against that all-conquering
hero, the coachman I One, and number
one. He appeared in San Francisco a
mysterious, distinguished stranger, who
represented himself as a Mexican of
vast estates. A San Francisco lady
yielded to his wooing, married him, and
discovered that he attended to a physi
cian's horse and buggy for twenty dol
lars a month. Strange woman that she
was, she immediately left him, after
having written him the following breezy
explanation :
" I am deeply sorry that hunger and
other circumstances over which I have
no control compel me to write you
this note. I find that you are utterly
uuable to provide for me, and as I am at
present unable to provide for you, I will
have to leave you, and return to that
happy home whence you stole me, and
once more fill it with the sunshine of
love. Had I known that you expected
me to live on the morning breezes for
breakfast, the trade winds for dinner,
and the evening fogs for supper, I would
have honestly told you that my consti
tution would not be equal to It, even
where the atmosphere is so odorous and
substantial as in this hotel in Tar Flat,
and would have declined to have become
your wife. If you shall ever marry an
other lady, I trust you will remember
the advice of your first wife, and that
the domestic menu will consist of pud
dings made of plums rather than of
tne nortn wma, ana pies or pumpkins
rather than of zephyrs In short , that
you will provide her with a bill of fore
rather than a bill of air. If you meet
me on the street hereafter pass me by
as a perfect stranger, for if you do not
I will be compelled to give you the cut
uirect. xour wile, mauy."
Gagged and Robbed.
From the Chambersburg Herald we
learn that on Tuesday night three
tramps battered in the door of Joseph
Lochbaums's house, on the Gettysburg
road, aud after binding and gagging Mr,
L., his mother and two nieces, robbed
the house. They took about $200 in

Very Strange.
The Carroll, la., Herald reports the
singular experience of a Wm. Leslie,
living on a farm not far from that city,
who has several times of late sunk wells
to a depth of forty or fifty feet, but not
only is unable to find water, but the
only thing he can get from the bores Is
a strong draft of air, capable of whisk-'
ing away board covers, etc., like a hurri
cane. The wind is accompanied' by a
rumbling noise.
The Duty on Quinine.
On Tuesday last Dr. Felton called up
a bill to repeal the duty on quinine, but
the committee thought this subject, and
all other matters .affecting the revenue
and tariff excepting the Income tax,
should be postponed until the December
session, and it was so derided.
