Dark tale of Broad Mountain cabin and three graves
An explorer recalls a haunted Broad Mountain vale with a decaying log cabin, a ruined saw mill, and an apple tree over a bloodied dam. The narrator learns of the Brennan family tragedy caused by Ben Warner, a brutal suitor, and Edward Brennan’s mourning vigil. The tale ends with three skeletal bodies buried beneath the same tree, joined in death as in life.

Kitchen gardens teach poor girls neat housekeeping in city
In large cities benevolent ladies run kitchen gardens, a school for daughters of very poor foreigners. Girls are cleaned, fed, and trained daily to become neat, orderly housekeepers. They stage summer exhibitions with miniature furniture, and many families become happier as the girls apply lessons at home.

Important Decision on Commission Payments by Connecting Lines
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled that railways may not pay commissions to agents of connecting lines for through tickets. The ruling dismisses complaints by Chicago and Alton, Chicago Rock Island and Pacific, and others, stating commissions undermine fair facilities and favor paying roads. The decision cites mutual agreement limits and notes commissions create abuses among agents.
