Justice Cox is in receipt of many let
ters from various parts of the country
reflecting upon his management of the
Gulleau case, and some giving him ad
vice on the subject.
The Peunsvlvaula It. It., commenced
on Monday of this week to use their
new depot at loth and Filbert streets.

It used to be that Independent voting
was not fashionable. It was a rare
thing to see a man go to the polls and
cut a candidate. Party rules were so
stringently enforced that it was a little
more than a man could conveniently
and safely do to split his ticket; but
that has been done away with.
J. A. Alcokx, of Mount Sterling,
Iowa, has in his possession a diamond
whose true value is estimated at 2,500
This valuable stone he found about
seven or eight years ago, while leveling
and graveling walks around his house.
On account of its peculiar appearance he
picked it up, and curried it in his pocket
a year before its true character was
known.
The "Nation" makes a good point
when it says that if Guiteau were really
insane he would not only glory in hav
ing shot the President but would make
himself fully responsible for the conse.
quences of the act. He seems now In
clined to rejoice in the shooting, but to
hold the physicians responsible for the
death of the President. A genuine mad
man would be consistent enough to claim
the w hole credit for himself.
Commissioner Itaum in his annual
report referring to the reduction of In
ternal taxation says : "Whenever the
wants of the government will allow the
reduction of the internal taxation my
opinion is that it will be wise to confine
these taxes to distilled spirits, malt
liquors, tobacco and its products, and to
special taxes upon manufacturers and
dealers in these articles, and to fix taxes
at such rates as will yield the aniouut
of revenue necessary to be raised from
these sources."
The Postmaster General's Report.
The Postmaster General's annual
report has been given to the press. The
following are some interesting items
gathered from its pages. It states that
the cost of operating the mall service for
the last fiscal year was $30,251,730.40 and
the receipts were $30,785,897.07, leaving
a deficiency of $2, 400,838.49. The reduc
tion of letter postage from 3 to 2 cents is
recommended, as is the establishment of
postal savings banks. The employees,
including contractors, number 01,414;
1,010,107,348 letters were mailed during
the year, of which 3,331,021, or 1 In Slo,
found their way to the dead letter fifllce.
Of the letters and packages opened In the
dead ofllce, 18,017 were found to contain
money amounting to flO.W.PO: 22,012
contained drafts, money orders, checks,
note?, etc., the aggregate face value of
Which was tt,P09,()02.01 ; 37,078 contain
ed receipts, paid notes and cancelled obli
gations of all sorts ; 83,731 contained
photographs; 01,650 contained small
remittances of postage stamps, and In
75,214 there we found valuable articles
of third and fourth class matter in end
less variety. The amount of money
separated from dead letters for which no
claimant could be found was $0,584.10,
which was deposited in the Treasury.
The records of the department show that
8,838,018 registered letters and packages
were mailed In this country during the
year. Of this number only 2,014 reached
the dead letter offlee, and of these 2,131
were finally delivered to the owners, the
balance being placed on file awaiting
identification by the parties interested.

In Kershaw county, South Carolina,

Foul Play Suspected.
About two weeks ago Robert Craven,
formerly in the grocery business at 8903
Market street, died suddenly iu New
York. He was rather eccentric In his
ways, and had a habit of carrying large
sums of money with him, often amount
ing to $7000 or $8000. About two years
ago he sold out his business here, specu
lated in stocks for a while, and then
went to New York, where he opened
another grocery and continued to ope
rate on Wall street. Previous to leaving
this city he formed an attachment for
Miss Lizzie Chase, of 3901 Market street,
and made a will constituting her his sole
heir. After his death the lady visited
New York for the purpose of bringing
the body to this city, which was done.
While there she ascertained that not a
dollar was found upon his person nor in
his store, the stock of which had been
reduced to a considerable extent. Act
ing upon the belief that he either came
to his death by violence or that his body
had been robbed, Miss Chase placed the
matter in the hands of detectives, who
are now working on the case. fhlladcl.

Guiteau to Lecture and Marry.
A few days ago a large crowd of ladles
and gentlemen gathered at the jail to see
Guiteau, but few of them were permitted
to see the prisoner. During the morn
ing nlibut fifteen experts on insanity
called to examine him. In the conver
sation which followed, Guiteau said the
trial was progressing satisfactorily to
him ; that ho wns certalu of acquittal by
the jury; that when he got on the witness-stand
he would soon convince them
that he removed the President under In
splratlon. Even the lawyers, he said,
were friendly to him, and he mentioned
Colonel Corkhlll and Mr. Davldge by
name as having no desire to convict
him. Ho was asked what lie should do
supposing the Jury mid he must hang.
"I would go upon the scaffold without
fear." said lie. "If the Lord wills It I
will obey His commands without com
plaint. I will cheerfully go. It may
not be In this generation, but the odium
attached to my name will be removed.
I will be regarded as a patriot and the
savior of tho nation from civil war. My
name will go down in history with
Lincoln's and Grant's." He was asked
what he would do If acquitted. "I will
go into the lecture field as soon as I am
out. I would make $50,000 the first
year. I would pay all my debts and
board bills and start life again. I would
go out to Indiana and marry that hun
dred thousand dollar girl who recently
advertised for a husband."
Matrimonial Freaks.
A heavy rain storm prevailed at the
time appointed for Frank 'Wells' mar
riage, at Craw ford vllle, Ind., and it may
be that the dampness quenched his mat
rimonial ardor, for lie borrowed $0 and
an umbrella from the bride, walked oil',
hurriedly toward the railroad station,
and has not since been seen in the town.
Matthew Bray is the head of a wealthy
lumber firm at Hudson, Wis. He was
Bertha 5 u ell's suitor ten years ago, and
they made a marriage engagement. Sub
sequenlly he changed his mind, and
asked her to fix a price for permitting
him to marry another. She said that
$3,000 would satisfy her, and he signed a
note for that sum, payable on his wed
ding day. He did not take a wife uutll
lately, and now a lawsuit is the conse
quence of his refusal to pay the claim.
When a Texas couple stood up to be
married, the minister saw the handle of
a pistol protruding from the bridegroom's
pocket and suggested that, out of respect
to the solemn ceremony, it be laid aside.
The advice was heeded. Then the bride
demurely drew a dagger from her bosom
and tossed it beside the other weapon.
Found Her Baby.
A resident of Battle Creek, Mich., was
called to his front door last Thursday
morning by a vicious jerk of the bell.
What he saw on the door step was a
clothes basket, and it did not take long
to discover that the basket contained a
baby. As that household already had a
full assortment of treasures of that kind
the citizen was angry as well as shocked.
He lost no time in sending the basket
with its contents to the police station.
As the colored man who had been hired
to carry the baby to the station entered
the door he saw a young woman fran
tically endeavoring to give an ofTlcer a
piece of information. Glancing at the
basket, however, the woman uttered a
scream and hugged the infant until it
in turn became demonstrative. The
foundling had found its mother, whose
strange explanation was that a discharg
ed and angry servant girl had kidnap
ped it while the family were at break
fast proved to be true.
An Unfortunate Legacy.
That it may be a misfortune to have
money left one is Illustrated by the case
of Miss Mary E. Conley, who bad seventy-five
shares of stock in the Newark
Mechanics' Bank bequeathed her. The
assessment made by reason of Baldwin's
racallty and the Bank's ruin not only
calls for the entire vnliie of her shares,
but money besides ; and unless the Di
rectors can be held responsible for not
doing their duty, what was intended to
firm lull Miss Conley a fixed income will
prove a positive loss. ' '

it.
