Railroad Combination

SAN Francisco, May l7.-Papers have
been drawn up here to-day securing the most
extensive and powerful railroad combinations
ever attempted in the world. 1t includes the
Pennsylvania Central and connections from
Seaboard to the Union Pacific terminus at
Ogden, Utah, and on this side Of the California
Pacific, not the Central Pacific but the Val,
lcio opposition line which will be extended
North to Goose Lake, Oregon, and connecting
with the Oregon railroad to Portland, and pos
sibly also Pugets Sound, thence to the Christ
mas lakes, thence eastward along the south
side of the Snake river in Southern Idaho to
IA point i'll easy connection with the Union Pa
citc, eastward of Ogden. This route will
avoid the heavy grade across the Sierra Neya-
da and complete a continuous line from the At
lantic to the Pacific. 1t will be built immedi-
atcly, all the capital having been secured in
Europe, for the entire work No subsidies
will be asked for the work. which will be COM
menced within two months with all the force
which can be placed upon the line

Desperate Fight With a Robber.

NEW YORK, April 2.
The railway banditti, who for months
past have robbed the freight cars of the
Hudson River Railway at Dobbs' Ferry,
where the locomotives stop for wood and
water, were spotted on Thursday night
by private detectives Scannell and
Gillespie, who saw three men on the track
and attempted to arrest them. The thieves
opened fire with their revolvers, to which
the officers replied, and brought down
two of them, who were recognized as
John Mccormick and Bryan Cavanagh,
well-known New York thieves. They
were taken to the city and removed to
Bellevue Hospital, their wounds being
dangerous. On Friday James Hennessey
the robbers rowed to Dobbs' Ferry, but
his story being disproved, and he beng
believed one of the gang, officer Arm
strong arrested him. Hennessey threw
handful of Cayenne pepper in the police
mans eyes, and then ran. The officer
pursued, in spite of the pain, and chased
Hennessey into the cellar of house on
Thirty-Grst street, and then up stairs. In
the upper story, Hennessey tried to escape
by the scuttle. but finding it locked, hurl-
ed a small refrigerator down the stairs
upon the offer. Armstrong caught in on
the shoulders and pl luckily pushed on,
when Hennessey drew knife and swore
he would kill him. The policeman was
plucky, and, parrying the stroke of the
knife, knocked the ruffian down with his
club, and with the help of another officer
took him to the station-house. Cavanagh
died last night, and Hennessey was COM
mitted in default of $4,000 bail, for an
attempt on the life of the officer arresting
him.
