Blain and Rail Bonds Linked to 64 000 Fraud

Union Pacific officials pressed for investigation but internal resistance aimed to shield Blaine and Rollins. the affair echoes past scandal links to Ames and Clark amid calls for scrutiny.

Widow of John Tyler Among Galleries Viewers in 1843 Session
The widow of John Tyler, then president, sat with Mrs Goode in the gallery while the House met yesterday. Mrs Tyler, once famed for beauty, is selling Gardner’s Island property near Norfolk. The tale recalls the 1843 cannon test linked to Miss Gardiner and Mr Gardner, which killed two Cabinet members and Gardner, while Tyler and his future wife survived. The piece notes Tyler’s White House years and the public’s fascination with their marriage. It also references ongoing criticism of the Democratic House and calls for reform to curb pervasive prying.
