ELDoRADo, KAN, June 2l.-On June
LIST an election was held in this county
to determine the county seat, and re-
suited in majority of two hundred for
Augusta. The Eldorado people opposed
the election on the ground of illegalty,
and applied to the court for an order re-
straining the commissioners from count
ing the vote. Yesterday about one hun
dred ard fifty armed men, with teams,
came here for the purpose of taking the
county effects to Augusta by force, hut
the Eldorado people met them with arms,
and no effort was made to carry out the
designs Great excitement prevails.
Fears are entertained Of another raid and
bloodshed. The court decided that it could
not issue an injunction, and so the mat
ter rests for the present On yesterday
the scouts who have been kept out by the
inhabitants of this place came in at one
o clock and reported the Augusta peo-
pie close BY, armed and prepared to take
the county records. An alarm was
given and the citizens of Eldorado turn
ed out en- masse with arms, but no at
tack was made. Business is nearly sus-
pended, and the Governor will be asked
for arms. The State arms kept here
we're taken Saturday night by the Au.

thus described by the Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial:
Physically, Judge Davis is a picture. He
is very tall and large; his shoulders are

and nice, as though it were proud to have
such lining. Altogether. Judge Davis is a
very conspicuous man. His weight must be
over three hundred pounds, and if report
be true, be has million dollars for every
hundred pounds of flesh. His head, sur
mounting such massive frame. looks
small, but judge it to be of more than
ordinary size. His hair is brown, plenti-
fully mixed with gray, and closely cut He
wears closely trimmed beard also gray.

The Washington Republican has this to


say about Southern railroads
Colonel Thomas A. Scott has, it seems.
succeeded in his magnificent scheme of
Southern railroad consolidation. 1t is
stated, on apparently good authority. that
he has acquired, by least or purchase,
controlling interest in the stock of three
important lines, namely: the Memphis and
Charleston, the Memphis aud Little Rock
and the Little Rock aud Fort Smith rail
roads. His object is said to be to obtain
possession of through line from New York
70 the Texas terminus of the new Southern
International railroad. The total length of
the con sulidated lines is SIS miles. This Is
said to be only the first step toward the
construction of line from Fort Smith to
Fort Gibson, connecting with the Southern
International railroad at its eastern ter
minus thus tapping the entire trade OF the
.Summer Pacific route" Negotiations are
said to he in progress for tho purchase of
lines in Georgia. which will control large
portion of the trade of New Orleans and
the Gulf States. These acquisitions have
been made in the name of the Southern
Railway Security Company, which is com
posed of wealthy capitalists i'll Philadel-
pha, the Southern States and England.
Among the corporators are William f.
Dodge, Jr, Morris X. Jessup, j. A. stuart
Schucnhart & Son, w. & J. l.. Aspn wall.
Z. S. Kennedy and j. ID. Phelps. Of New
York; Thomas A. Scott, George W. Harris
