Letter and political notes on De Young shooting and railroads

An official from Pennsylvania denies pardons for Shimble et al. and hints at future votes. Separate items speculate on Vanderbilt, Gould, and railroad consolidations. A frontier tale recounts a moose encounter labeled a curious instance of refaction.
