WASHINGTON, April 16.-United States
+ Treasurer Spinner has confiscated the chsck
of Judge Kelley for three hundred dollars
handed him by Judge Poland, by convert
ing il into the Treasury. Mr.. Spinner has
waited since the adjournment of Congress
to hear from Cakes Ames about the one
thousand dollar certificate of Credit Mobi-
lier stock which he alleged belonged to KEEL
ley, and which spinner sent Ames for the
purpose of having it transferred to Kelley.
Ames, however, has evidently concluded to
place the stock where it will do the
most good, and he is satisfied that place
is not the Treasury of the United States.
Nothing has been heard either from Ames
or the certificate of stock. Spinner has
waited long and patiently for the stock, and
he has at last determined to turn in what
he had. 1t is understood that Ames does
not intend to return the certificate.
The LOuisiana Emeute.
The Department of Justice processes to
look upon the reported Louisiana ontrages
with the greatest incredulity. The Attor-
ney General said to-day that he had receiv-
ed no official information OF the outrages,
and they are alleged to be greatly exagger-
ated for political purposes. The President
| is reported as saying that if the difficulties
are as serious as stated in the newspaper
dispatches, he will order the Federal troops
to interfere, not in behalf of either party,
/ but simply to preserve the peace. Much
nervous anxiety is expressed in all Admin.
| istration quarters as to the extent OF truth
of the reported troubles.
Tunnel Under the City Of Baltimore
The Pennsylvania Central Railroad Com
pauy announces that the tunnel which it is
building under the city of Baltimore, viii
be finished in the next two months. The
cost of this magnificent enterprise will bt
in the neighborhood of three millions o
dollars. 1t will accommodate the various
through Northern and Southern trains run
i ming through the city, and will enable then
to make their trips without breaking theil
trains, as is now the case.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany is now engaged in constructing triple
track for the length of seventy-two miles
from The eastern terminus of their road
The construction of this extra track has be
come indispensable, from the continuou:
increase of the coal trade, and will not onl,
greatly facilitate the tonnage, but will mate
rial aid in thedevelopment ofthe largely in
creased passenger business of the road
There are now two hundred and twenty
three miles of continuous double-track OF
the the line of this road, and it is proposed
at an early day to make the whole line s
double track.
The Treasury and the Money Market
Considerable interest has been evince,
here to-day in relation to affairs in Wa
street, New York. The "tumble" in th
price Of stocks, etc was not unexpected b!
parties who had given the matter close a,
tention, and were not unfamiliar with tn
subject of stock gambling. These psrtie
knowing, as they did, that the government
would not allow herself to be drawn int
embarrassing complications by taking an.
action whatever in regard to the recently
disturbed condition of the money market
were of opinion that if the operators in tn
street were only let alone they would worl
their own ruin or discontinue, which wa
generally hoped fol, particularly in view of tn
boast made by the New York clique that if
they could get gold above one hundred anC
twenty they could put the money marke
beyond the influence of the Government
The Treasury accounts show the condition
Of that institution to be better to-day thar
it has been for weeks. Secretary Richard
sons promise that he would, as fast al
practicable, reduce the outstanding legal
tenders to the minimum of three hundred
and fity-six millions, is to be made good
Since the first inst. nearly three hundre
thousand of the two and one-half million
of dollars that had been drawn from tn
forty-four million reserve have beeen re
placed.
