Baltimore, Nov. 8.—Ilia practical cut'm the western rates embodied In tho direct i»ue made by the Baltimore aad OjIj ro d against the Pennsylvania in combating the policy of forcing exoeas rates on fast trains has stirred up thifagi in railroad circles here aad in Washington. When tho trunk llnegpool wai in force the Pennsylvania company allowed the Baltimore and Ohio a differential rate as against that exacted on thsfnoted limited trains, permitting the sale of ticket* at a lower rate than charged on the limited. B the uew schedule on the Baltimore and Ohio the time made by its limited traw from Washington is four hours and a half faster to St. Louis than the Pennsylvania limited, four hours faster to Cincinnati, an hour and a half faster to Pittsburg, and a half hour faster to Chicago. On the PfcnnsyU vania limited the charge in excess of thCj regular ticket rate is $8 from Baltimore and Washington to Chicago, Cincinnati or St Louia—one-half for aleeper, which must be taken, and the other half extra fare. On the Baltimore and Ohio, limited, not a p-nny additional is exacted, and tho passenger tak* sleeper or pot, at he pleases. This policy of the fastest time and no extras is a cut in reality lu rates and tim) at the same move, and is tha first evi. d- ncj of open hostilities from either this oity or Washington, notwithstanding the demoralization "eisH where. The business westward out of the two cities is very large, and the counter action of the Pennsylvania is waited for with no little interest.

The old woman had among the neighbors the reputation 6! being a witch, and it is llrmly alleged tbpt she had dealings with gboatly spirits, and rode a broomstick. The witch ofle day persuaded the little girl Laura to eat a cake which she had compounded' at Ihtdnigbt from curious ingredients unknown to common uso. The cake was "bewitched," and in it were the seeds of future doath. From that day the health of the little girl declined. From being an unusually bright and intelligent child, she became dull, Iieavy and drooping. She suffered from spasms at regular intervals, and gteiw thin and poor. These spasms continued for three years, for it was not the purpose of the witch to kill the child at once, but to allow her to gradualy waste away.

Teemer reached home with his boat half full of water, aud an examination by the referee «hQweCl that It had two craelcs in the bottom.
