New Pacific Railroad Lobby
scheme.
Lobby

1t has been bruited about for some time
among the knowing ones that Tom Scott, of
the Southern Pacific Railroad, and Jay Cooke,
of the Northern Pacific, with all their retalners,
henchmen and forces generally. are about to
make an onslaught on Congress for aid to
carry through their lines. 1t has been said,
too, that there is an alliance offensive and
defensive, between these chiefs, and that
whether they move together or separately the
campaign has for its object the benefit of
both. This, we say has been the current
talk, whether true or not. And now it
appears Colonel Scott is in Washington
sounding the depths and shoals Of Congress
sional consciences. He has had interviews,
it is said, with several members of Congress
already. The report is that an application
will be made to Congress at the ensuing ses-
sion for aid to both these Pacific railroads,
but that it is not proposed to ask such aid as
will add to the public debt. What is exactly
meant by this we do not know, but imagine it
means large slice of the public lands, and
also, perhaps, the loan Of bonds, such as was
made to the Union and Central Pacific roads.
That may not be considered by such financiers
as adding to the public debt. True, the gov
ernment and people of the United States are
bound to pay these bonds, and do actually
nav interest on those Of the Union and
Central Pacific. Still, they are not reck-
oned by the Treasury Department as part
of the public debt. Can any simple
minded citizen fail to see the difference
between being responsible for and actually
paying debt and not being burdened with
Pacific Railroad managers and the Treasury
Department make it out. But have we not
had enough OF this sort of fnancierng and
extravaganza on the part of the government
Ii people will make railroads before they are
wanted, or, as has been said Of Jay Cooke s.
from nowhere to nowhere, let them do SO at
their own risk. Let not the people have to
pay for them either by the loan Of bonds or
by appropriations Of the public lands The
inheritance Of the people-of future settlers
has been shamefully squandered away upon
railroad companies. Let US have no more OF
that. We protest in advance against any
more reckless waste of the peoples property.

The supposed Murderer of Charles
Goodrich Arrested.

Amy Stone, alias Kate Stoddard, has
been arrested by the Brooklyn police On,the
charge of numbering Charles Goodrich.
She was taken into custody at the Fulton
Ferry gateway on the Brooklyn side, and
was locked up last night in the York street
police station. The police had been search
ing for her for many weeks past, and fol-
lowing her from one place to another. 1t
is supposed that she was hidden the most
of the time in Jersey City and Philadelphia.
She visited New York several times and ON
one or two occasions narrowly escaped be-
ing taken before night
The detectives claim to have in their
possession facts forming chain of evidence
duplicating her in the murder of Charles
Goodrich. The inquest in the case which
was never concluded, but was left over
for further investigation, will be resumed
this week. Thus 1t seems there is some
hope of at last solving the mystery attend
ing the crime which has caused intense
excitement in this community. The
Brooklyn police are very reticent, and 1t ia
impossible as yet for the reporters to get
many of the particulars in regard to the ar
rest or the evidence to be produced against
the prisoner.

WASHINGTON The President of the At

York has received information this morn
ing that the agents of the stranded steamer
City of Washington have just executed a
contract with the New York Coast Wreck

The agent of this company telegraphs that
he is of the opinion that the ship can be

lies well up on the beach. He also says
arrangements are being made to forward
steam pumps to bail her out Immediately.
The insurance people in New York strong

The BallOonist La Mountain.


The aeronaut La Mountain, who lost his
life while making balloon ascension at

for the purpose of inducing monied men to
raise funds to enable him to attempt an
aerial trip across the Atlantic. He was
unable to excite much interest in his pro-
ject, and left for the West disheartened

for some reason the parties did not make a

time near the city of Troy, in New York.
His wife, who now lives at Troy, often
attempted to dissuade him from his hazar-
dous profession, but in vain.
Upon one occasion La Mountain was adj
vertised to make an ascent from Troy, and
Mrs. La Mountain, after Intellectual endeav.
ors to prevent him, resolved to accompany
him herself, and share the danger to which
he would be exposed. She made the TRIP
with him and the affair was most sue

adventures of his class, was bold and fear
less, but lacked the business tact ant
shrewdness to make his experiments sue

were often deprived of the necessities o

The ARKANSAS GIRL HoRsE-TmIEF -
Mollie Sherwood is the name of girl who
has been running around Arkansas in
trousers, and who was recently arrested for
stealing a horse She is pretty blonde and
is about II. Three years ago her brothers
placed her out at work at hotel in Aliens
vile, but as the work was distasteful to her
she donned boys clothing and, under the
name of Bill Henderson, got situation as
post-boy. She carried the mail for year
without her sex being suspected, but, being
found out she ran off and worked on
farm, and afterward in livery stable.
Here the men and boys doubted her mascu-
line pretensons, and, to escape their ban
terings, she tearfully protests, she took
horse and made off. She didn't mean to
steal, and intended to return the horse, but
the sheriff thinks that the revolver she
drew when he arrested her did not become
an innocent girl who merely borrowed
horse for temporary use. A local paper
says she was great favorite while she was
a post-boy, -and II was always deemed
singular that rich and aristocratic young
men should take 30 much interest in a pen
nilcss boy who carried letters for living

HOW CAN WE SETTLE 1T =,

Railroads, from the very nature of their
business, must occupy more or less of pub
lie attention, aside from all questions of
public policy or individual interests con-
nected Herewith. This was illustrated in
our columns yesterday morning, wherein
were recorded diabolical attempt to throw
train from the rails, in New Hampshire !;
collision in Indiana locomotive thrown
from the track, in the same State, the en-
gineer and fireman meeting their death q
half mile of track sinking into the Missou-
ri river, suddenly and without warning ;
elections of railroad directors, and suits
against railroad companies in California
and elsewhere; and the opening of the
New York, Oswego and Midland railroad,
between New York and Oswego This is,
perhaps, An exceptional record for single
day yet not day passes, but that public
attention il called to railroads and railroad
management, by the occurrence of similar
events. So far as the accidents are con.
cerned, they may, generally, be set down
10 carelessness and mismanagement, and
for this there is and ought to be a speedy
remedy. There is no necessity for an ac

The RECENT LYNCHING IN INDIANA
The lynching of Dclos IIeffrcn at Salem,
Ind, has been followed by great excite
ment among his friends, of whom he had a
great number, and they have vowed eternal
vengeance against those who did the deed.
The last hanging that took place in that
vicinity was in 1870. That, too, was a
lynching, and two men who had not muir
dered, but merely robbed, were the victims
of it but in IIeffren's case, though there
was not the slightest excuse for the mob,
it was easier to account for their lawless-
ness. Heffrcn was about 40 years old,
fine looking and powerfully built, and a
man of considerable talent In 1860 he
was deputy secretary of state, under his
uncle, Judge Cyrus j.. Durham, and when
the war broke out he became an officer in
the army. His mother, two sisters and a
brother Col. Horace IIeffren, are still liv-
ing. His eldest sister is a remarkably beau
tiful and accomplished woman. A younger
brother dropped dead, some years ago,
near the spot where the lynching was done.
Heffren was man of strong passions. and
DR.. ITalstead was the second person he
had murdered. Several years ago he killed
a man named johnson, but, for some rca-
son not known, the jury who tried him
gave verdict of acquittal. They had nc
sooner done so than they went to the pris-
oner's box, carried him on their shoulders
to a saloon hard by. and drank his health
and long life. Eight months after, IIeffren
married the widow of the murdered John.
son. In the past few years he has kept g
drinking house, and his habits have beer
very bad He has been very popular also
among certain suspicious class, and as
his influence was for violence, many law.
less deeds were committed for which he
was directly or indirectly responsible, but
his taking-off was sad commentary OF

A VALUABLE LOAD OF BRICKs.-An i'm
portant shipment of silver bars was made
by the Swansea silver smelling and refin-
ing company, Wednesday, from the bank
ing office of Adam Smith & Son. The

which contained 47,342 ounces of pure sill

clothing, made in Springfield, Mass, al
legged to have been struggled from Canada
the following facts have been elected
A Springfield merchant, while at Montreal,
purchased of a tailor there suit of clothes
which attracted the admiration of his
friends, who ordered similar suits. Before
they were sent, certain detective, sus-
pecting that the revenue was being de-
frauded, went to Montreal and ordered a
suit also. In due time the clothes were
sent to Springfield, and the detective was
on hand at the opening of the bundle,
which contained something beside the
clothing, which was several rolls of silk
for ladies' dresses. The duty on silk is 80
per cent al Calorem, and clothing the
same. The goods were seized, while the
merchant claims he made no attempt to
defraud, leaving the matter at the time in
the tailors' hands to arrange. All the pco-
pie implicated are of good reputation; the
sum involved is about $1,000.

last at his home in Hardwick. His health
had been failing for several months, owing

1t seems little strange, after the con-
tests we have had, in the recent past,
about the equality of oil men before the
law, that deliberate attempt should be
made, in New York city, to create dis
tinction between condemned murderers, on
account of former 'social position" Sher-
If Brennan, whatever sins he may have
committed in the past, failed to see how a
murderer in broadcloth was any better
than one in rags. Frank Walworth, not
withstanding the interposition of ''influen-
tial friends" was treated the same as any
other criminal; he was presumed innocent
until proved guilty, and when proved gull
~ was subjected to the pains and penalties,
provided by law for guilty men. His ed
ucation, associations and habits make his
crime more reprehensible than if committed
by an ignorant boor and instead of being
shielded from publicity, on account of his
associations, should have been, as he was,
held up asa conspicuous warning to others.
