JERSEY CITY, October 29.-Yesterday
morning a man named Nolte, having
created a slight disturbance, was elected
from the liquor saloon of VIM. Guth,
on Beaver avenue, old Hudson City.
Nolte was somewhat intoxicated, and
he took a paving stone and threw it
through the glass door Of the saloon,
striking Guth and injuring him consid-
erably. Officer Harmed, of the Third
Jersey City precinct, was in the saloon,
but not on duty He started out TO ar
rest Nolte and found him few blocks
of, talking to man. They stated that
the person who flung the stone had re-
treated up Clinton avenue, and the
three started in that direction. Harmed
soon discovered Nolte, and the three
went into an alley way. Officer Van
Buskirk, who happened to be in the
neighborhood, hearing three shots fired,
arrived in time to see Harmed fire the
last two. One OF the balls struck Nolte
in the back, below the ribs on the right
side, penetrating below the umbilicus.
Nolte was very low last evening and
cannot survive. Harneds firing was
wanton, as one Of the shots struck at
the feet Of Van Buskirk, narrowly
missing him. 1t is thought Harmed was
intoxicated. He has been arrested

The Plans Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.l
Two general routes have been pro
posed for the western connection OF the
Ohio aud Chesapeake railroad. The
Virginia portion OF that railroad ter
inmates at Huntingdon, West Va, g
place that is situated on the Ohio river
opposite the mouth Of Symmes creek
in Lawrence county. The first route
called the river route, runs through the
counties Of Lawrence, Scioto, Adams,
Brown and Clermont to Cincinnati.
The second has been known as the
Hllsboro route. Starting from the
mouth of Symmcs creek, it proceed,
through Lawrence, Jackson, Pike and
Highland counties to Hillsboro. From
this place, it separates into two main
stems, the one running through Clinton,
Warren and Montgomery counties to
Dayton, and the other over route not
vet surveyed through C!ermont county
to Cincinnati.
The contest waged between the
friends OF these two routes has been
earnest and prolonged. The friends Of
the Hillsboro route were led by Colonel
w. H. Trimble, Of Iillsboro, and it is
to his exertions, in large measure, that
liberal and reasonable proposition
has at last been made by the President
Of the Chesapeake road, looking to the
construction OF the western connection
of the road through Hillsboro.
That proposition comes in the form
of a letter dated the Goth instant, and
promises the building of the road on
condition that the right Of way be se-
cured from Symmes creek to Dayton,
and OF bona fde subscriptions to the
amount of $S50,0O0.
The distarce from Symmes creek to
Hillsboro is about one hundred miles,
and the right OF way along this part Of
the route has been almost fully secured.
From Hillsboro to Dayton is about fifty
miles, and the distance from Hillsboro
to Cincinnati is about the same. One
hundred miles Of the route, therefore,
is common to the two cities. The
country through which this portion Of
the line passes is very rich, both in
coal and minerals, and also in
timber and building stone. The
heaviest grade is thirty feet to
the mile. The entire cost OF construc-
ton of the road bed from Dayton to
Symmes creek is estimated at S2.232,'
l4O, this being the amount needed TO
prepare the road for the ties. The en-
tire cost of the building and equippng
the road is estimated at about 1000
600. OF this amount, it will be seen,
the people along the lire Of the road are
asked to raise less than one-iOurth, the
other three fourths Of the stock being
taken by the Ohio and Chesapeake com,
pany. The amount that Highland
county will be called upon to contribute
is ssl75,OO0.
That the road will pay admits OF
little doubt. Men who are pressing a
project on the opposite side Of the river,
in Kentucky, are calculating on $4,000
a mile annually from local receipts.
The country through which thie road
is to run ia more popolous, and is, we
believe, richer in resources than that
through which the Frankfort, Paris
and Big Sandy is to be constructed. In
deed, one railroad man, who is perhaps,
over sanguine. predicts that within five
years a double track will be needed
between Hillsboro and Symme5 creek.

This is always found on poor knobs

case is to harrow until the moss is torn

Public Hall on Church HW. Efforts are
being made by number of influential citizens
to erect large and commodious building on
Church Hill, to be used as a public hall for
lectures, speeches, concerts, &C., and we think
tnat these efforts should be successful. as a
building OF the kind intended to be erected
would DC q great convenience and pay we'll.
IL Is proposed to organize at once Joint stock
company, purchase the beautiful lot on the
corner OF Twenty-sixth and Broad streets. and
thereon build an edifice of four stories-the
lower hoors to be occupied as stores, the second
story as public hall, and the third and fourth
stories for. lodge-rooms and private offices.
The rear of the building will be so fitted up as
to be used BY fire engine company, which the
City Council will probably place on the Hill.
as that part of the city is without hello in case
of fire. except from those at long distance
from it.
We learn that parties have already spoken
Tor the stores, at prices that will pay hand
some rents, and there is a certainty that the
other portions of the building would be soon
occupied by the different benevolent societies
now existing on Church and Union Hills.
For concerts, lectures &C., there can be M
doubt that it would be well patronized. in con-
sequence OF its central position in a very large
and growing community, who have now to
walk over mile down town to the nearest
place OF amusement, and who would the more
readily patronize entertainments of this char.
aeter when placed in such close proximity to
them.
We cannot doubt but that this enterprise
Will meet with much success ard be source

Joint High Gommission and tho

Washington, March Sl.-While the de-
tailed proceedings of the joint high COM
mission are kept secret, there appears to
be no doubt that the fact has leaked out
that no conclusion has been reached on the
international fishery question, while the
prospect of settlement is regarded as
quite remote. Tie position assumed by
the Canadian authorities on this question
is looked upon by the government as quite
untenable, and unless the United States
consent to some liberal reciprocity, it is
not improbable that the whole mission of
the commission will fail. The fishery
question is likely to assume very soon
rather belligerent aspect, for actual opera
tions will commence in the season which
will open in month or two
