Ciov. Wilson, of West Virginia,

States Senator in plaee of t'aimleni
the present incumhent, who failed of
re-election. Lucas is one of the
Democratic "kickers'' in the recent)
Senatorial contest.
A certilicate of incorr oration of
the New York Southern Telegraph j
Company was liled to-day. It states
that its capital is $1,000,000 divided
into shares of $100 each, with the
privilege of increasing the stock to
$o.t >00,000. The incorooraters ami
1
this number of shares hebl by each
are as follows: .lames IJ. I'aee, Richmond,
3,500 shares; John 1". Wise, I
Kiehmoml. 1,000; Thomas M . l.ooan,
Richmond, 1,000; John * . M < X )!V,

Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,

ami New (hleans, ami to all intermediate
points.
The river ami harbor bill failed to
become a law by reason of the 1'resident
not allixinir his signature. It
reached him several days before tin;
adjournment of Congress, but was
"pocket vetoed." The IVesMcnt
jrives as a reason that he did not
havp the time to properly consider
its provisions. We do not think it
wise or prudent tocondemn the <'liief
Magistrate for aetino rautiosly and
thoughtfully in such matters.
When our plans and purposes are
thus unexpectedly thwarted by any
individual or combination of persons,
it hurts, and iscalculated to produce in
us sourness, and the spirit of condemnation
for inattention to the public
weal. No doubt, in some instances
public works already commenced will
seriously suffer, but several months
are allowed to put all public works
in as irood condition as the means
now at. disposable will permit.
President Cleveland has noinina- 1
ted Henry K. Harris, of Georgia,
third assistant postmaster genera 1 i
vice Ha/en resigned, and James M.
Trotter, of Massachusetts to he recorder
of deeds for the District of
Columbia.
James Monroe Trotter is a colored
citizen of Massachusetts and is in the
18th year of his utro. His early childhood
was spent in the State of ()hio.
For the past thirty-five years he has
resided in Massachusetts, where, prior
to the war, he was a teacher. Soon
after the breaking out of the war lie
enlisted as a private in the both Mas
sachuset Is regiment of colored troops,
and was promoted for acts of bravery
on the battlefield until he became a
lieutenant. 1'pon his return to civil
life Ik; was appointed to, and filled
for eighteen years, the position of assistant
superintendent of the registered
letter department in the lloston
postollice. Froin this position
he was retired in 1884, on account,
it is said, of his independence in pol- 1
,...,i i.;n ,,r
" i'*" r i'
porting Cleveland. During the campaign
of 1884 he was appointed one
of tho secretaries of the "committee
of one hundred" of Boston, inn! vuou
active in 111*5 support of the nominees j
of tlie Democratic party. It is stated ,
that lie was strongly reconiinoiidod |
by the citizens ami press of Hvde
Park, Mass., where he resides.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
report of the committee on the District
of Columbia his nomination was
confirmed by a vote of 110 to 11.
Quite a lively tilt occurred the other
day in the Senate between Hoar of
Massachusetts and llo'jk and Jllack-I
burn of Kentucky. Iloar took oc-!
canion to arraign the Speaker of the
House for arbitrary assumption of
power in refusing to recognize certain
parties on the floor of the House1
to propose measures of tariff revision,
and proceeded to deliver a bet- !
ter tirade against the Speaker, Mr.
Carlisle. Heck and lllackburn <Jo- j

Saloon-keeper August PlalT, of No.

her husbands love was all her own,
and in putting him to the test she
passed through an experience which
she entirely unexpected. Saturda\

eously on the sofa, and in answer to
his questions she said tiiut ha vino ascertained
that lie did not hoe her,
she had swallowed a dose of "Ifonoh

was on his knees beside her and calling
her pot names, and was the point
of te 111 lie hini that she had keen
merely jokino when ho dashed out of
the house, and, meetiiio Policeman
Schmidt, of the Kourteenth Precint,
requested him to lino- for an amine
lance, as lus wile Ian I taken poison
and was dyiuir. After the policeman
laid summoned ambulance lie went
to the snioon-keepor's apartments and
made a prisoner of Mrs. IMafT on the
charge of attempting suicide.
The ambulance surgeon looked
down her throat, slapped heron the
back and walked her up and down
the lloor at the rate of six miles an
hour. Then she was taken down the
stairs and placed in the ambulance,
although she protested that she had
not taken poison. At llellevue Hospital
she screamed when she saw the
doctor with the stomach pump, but
she couldn't liolp herself, and the
doctor's distrust can imagined when
not a trace of poison was discovered.
She was discharged and she was
eoino home with her delighted husband
when I'olieeman Schmidt inter
posed. She was his prisoner for attempting
suicide, and as he had already
reported the case to his Captail,
he was compelled to arrest her,
and use the husband, who had Lpveu
him the information, as coinplianant.
Mrs. I'lalT remained in the sitting
room of the Fifth Street Station
House until Kssex Market Court was
opened yesterday morn'n?r, when she
was arraigned before Justice O'Hoilly,
and after she had told her story
she was discharged.

Jongress which ended its existence at

llustration of the constant increase
n the volume of legislation demand
ng the attending of Congress which
las been going on for the last three
_>r more Congresses. More hills
were introduced in both houses,
nore committee reports made, more
jills passed, more became laws and
nore were vetoed than ever before.
Most of these measures were of com
mrativo unimportance, such as hills
rrautinjr private pensions and special
elief, aut horizino the erection of
>ridoes, granting the rijdit of way,
uwl the like; hut many, not only <>f
lie hills and reports presented, hut
>f the laws enacted, were of m?neral
nterest and importance. A numher
if hi I Is enacted into the laws were

The Railroad commission lias just
rendered a dec'aion upon a matter
presented to their attention, which
I must be of peculiar interest from the
1 faet that it is the lirst of the kind, in
some particulars, they have been
' called upon to decide.
Hie question raised was an alleged
discrimination l?v the Cane h'ear
and Yadkin Valley Railroad in charging
a higher rate for freight from
! Charleston to latum, a station on
i this road, than was charged to liennettsville,
the next station beyond.
Complaint was made I?v a shipper
of fertilizer that ho was charged a

at Hennettsville tliov had to meet
! competition with water transportation
by the lVe I )ee Kiver, the land;
injr on whii'li. ho wo vet, is some twelve
miles from the station mentioned.
As the route over which the freight
i was sent from Charleston has a portion
outside the State, taUino in Wilmington
and Shoe Heel, N. (and
thence eotnio?r hack into South Carolina,
there was some question of the
jurisdiction of tne t 'ommissioners.
The Hoard heicl that it <iid have
jurisdiction, as the point of departure
and arrival were both in this
State. They also held that there
was a discrimination and violation of
law in ehare-ine- higher rates, as while
the law reeoonizoil lower rates at a
competing point, tlmy did not eon
sider Henneltsville a eompetino point,
on account of water 'transportation,
for the reason that the river landing
was so distant from the railroad station.

here a bride before the war, that lady
of much social experience, Mrs.
John J. Crilterden, solemnly warned
her that if she was seen so constantly

A young fellow out west, with
plenty of time and genius, has tigered
out. how a man can hccomo his
own grandfather, and this is the way
he does it: "I married a widow who!
had a grown' up daughter. My father
visited our lioino very often, fell
in love with my daughter, and married
her. So my father became my
son-in-law, and my step-daughter my
mother, because she married my father.
Some time afterward my wife
had a son. He is mv father's hr<.il>- I
or-in-law and in> undo, for ho is the
brother of my stop-mother. Mv father's
wife, namely, my stepmother,1
had u son. lie is my brother, and at
the same lime my grandchild, for he
is the son of my daughter- My wife
is my grandmother, oecauo she is my
mothers's mother I am my wife's husband
and grandchild at the same
time: and as the husband of a norBon's
grandmother is his grandfather,
I am my own grandfaher." *

not generally known that a serious
aecident occurred to Gen. Kobert K.
Lee the mornintr after the second
battle of iit111 Kun. Gen. Lee and
Stonewall Jackson were seated on a
loir, near Sudlev Springs, when some
(.'onfederate soldiers who had crossed
the ford imagined they had struck
Cope's whole army. They instantly
became stampeded and rushed pell

horse, old Tra\oiler, broke a way, and
tlio (iencral in liis efforts to cuteli
