PrrrsgURaH, April SO.-The excite.
ment relative to the murder ol tho little
girl Eliza Mess, at Salisbury, near this
City yesterday, still continues. The shoes
Of Pohle and Hyndman, the two men ar
rested yesterday, correspond with the
tracks discovered at the spot where the
murdeIed child was lying, but no other
evidence fixing guilt on the prisoners has
been secured. Several new theories have
been advanced to. day in view OF posi-
bility OF the innocence oil the men now In
custody, and the detectives are working
energellcally.
About 8 o'clock this afternoon the
Pittsburgh & Connellsville railroad COM
pany sent force Of men 10 restore tho
track on tho BrOadford branch, destroyed
some weeks since, as charged, BY parties
acting under the direction OF the PennsYl'
yaniS railroad company. The lAborers
were met by force OF the Pennsylvania
railroad company, two hundred strong,
who prevented theaCComplishment of the
work by demonstrations Of violence.
They also burned two small bridges on
the part OF the road next 10 the main line
Of The Counellsville road. This eifectually
defeating the object or the expedition the
ConnellSville force quietly Withdrew, ac-
cording TO orders. The interruption TO

The Proposed Release of State Lien
On certain RailTods.
ST. LOUIS, April 3O.-In 1860 the Leg.
stature Of this State passed an act releas
ing the State lien on the Missouri Poetic
and North Missouri Railroads. The
former road was sold 70 the stockholders
for five million dollars, and tho full
amount Of tho lien was thirteen millions.
Last month, as reported at the time, the
present Legislature, by resolution, asked
Attorney General Ewing for an opinion
as totho consttutionality Of the act under
which the state lien was released. That
official replied that It violated the Con.
stitution. In order to settle the matter, It
has been agreed by all parties Interested,
that Gov. Woodsou shall advertise the
road for sale, to satisfy the balance OF the
State lien, eight million. The railroad
company will apply to the Supreme Court
for an injunction 10 restrain the sale. A
full hearing in the case will be had and
the order OF the sale will made tomorrow
or Friday.
