the station the students rallied, 10 the number
OF 200, and pursued the police across the square,
hooting at them, and one or two throwing stones.
Upon arriving at the police gate the officers faced
the crowd and tried TO clear The walk. While so
doing officer Kelly dubbed n Sophomore named

him a severe blow. The students became very III.

ing an Injunction to restrain the Bradleys from
selling the Alexandria and Washington Railroad
under deed Of trust executed TO them by that rail-
road company to secure the payment of certain
tifca;es OF Indebtedness to the amount OF $780, 900,
issued by the company and guaranteed by the CITY
of Washington, and to have the trust deed de-
clared null ana void and cancelled. They al
le9e that the railroad company, as then organ
ized. purchased at public sale, under junior
deed OF trust made by the Alexandra and
Washington Railroad Company, the franchises and
property OF the last named company, according to
the statutes OF the State OF Virginia, ana under the
original charter to that company granted in 1854
by that State, and they denied the validity OF the
trust deed to the Bradleys temporary Injunction
was granted The trial was decided In favor Of the
defendants, and this appeal was taken and now
argued, the appellants insisting, among other
things, that the deed OF trust to the Bradleys was
VOID, because the corporation OF Washington had no
power to guarantee the bonds; that the injunction
should not have been dissolved, because no motion
was made for that purpose, nor was there any one
IN position 10 make such motion.

A missing STEAMER.


From the Savannah Republican, Nov. g.
Some days ago Captain Tucker, VINO is well known
IN this city as having been in command OF the
steamer Sylvan Shore shortly after the war; and
an experienced seaman, left Fernandina, Fla,
with q steamer which he had recently pur-
chased at the North for Tampa, for the pur-
pose 4 carrying the mails between that place and
Manatee Smyrna and other landings along the Gulf
coast. After proceeding as far as Mosquito Inlet
the engineer in charge OF the steamer made an ex-
ANIMATION of the machinery and vessel, and pro-
nouncng her unseaw0rtny refused to proceed fur
ther with her. We also learn that the engineer who
brought the vessel out from New York refused to go
TO sea In her and also pronounced her unseaworthy
The engineer was put ashore at the inlet, when the
steamer put out TO sea. The keeper Of the light
house saw the vessel outside and at anchor that
evening, ana she appeared to be dragging anchor
and the water breaking over her, since which time
nothing has been seen or heard OF the steamer.
Besides the crew, Captain Tucker, his wife
and daughters, and MIR. John Clay and Miss Girls
void. or Fernandina, were on board. AS there was
terrific gale prevailing at the time (the one that
caused SO much damage 10 shipping on the coastI,
and there has been plenty OF time for the steamer
to make some port, 1t IS feared that she has gone
down with all on board There Is great anxiety
felt in Fernandina for the safety Of these on board
OF the missing vessel. We sincerely hope that
some dngs may be heard OF her safe arrival but If
the report OF her unseaworthlness Is correct we
fear that she has met the fate Of the Varuna ana
other vessels on that coast.
