New YoRK, May 26.-At the opening
Of the Supreme Court this morning, vii.
bur N. Brown, appearing as the repre-.
sentative Of The Attorney General in the
suit Of the people against the Erie Rail-
road, its Directors and the Trustees OF
its various mortgages, moved before Judge
Qonahue the appointment OF Hon. Hugh
]. Jewett as Receiver Of the road. The
Erie Railroad aud the Trustees Of Ia
mortgages were represented by Shipman,
Barlow, Larocke and Mcfarland. The
only affidavit presented was that Of vii,
bur NJ, Brown, which asserted the truth
ol the statements previously made as to
the condition OF the finances OF the road,
and asserted that, ut has become neces.
sary for the protection Of the rights Of tho
people that q Receiver should be Ap-
pointed"
Judge Donahue granted the motion In
an order fully defining the powers Of tho
Receiver, Mr., Jewelt IL to assume his
dnties a. soon as he shall have GIed bonds
In tho sum OF 100000. The order re.
quires him at once to Gle an In

defend suits at law when the same shall
be necessary, 10 pay salaries and wages,

curities, and, In fine, to do all things
required for the proper protection Of the
business Of the road.
The Express says; The appointment Of
Mr.. II. j. Jewett as Receiver Of the Erie
Railway Is the great topic Of conversation
In financial circles. The action Of the
Attorney General in this matter was we'll
received and regarded rs the best thing
that could be done under the financial
embarrasSments Uf the company. The
Eric Railway has suffered severely from
the cutting down Of the freight rates and
passenger fares by the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore d Ohio roads, and was per-
fectly helpless In the matter In conse-
qnence OF her weak condition; but now
everything has changed. Mr.. Jewctt, as
Receiver, has no interest to pay, and tho
expenses Of the Eric Road are limited
almost to the cost OF running the road.
Mr.. JOwett, from being pOwerlGss as
rieNihGnt Of the Company, becomes mas

bring the trunk lines TO terms and end

ST. LOUIS, May 26.-Philip Pfatr,

mother, ravished. II appears that a
negro man, about % years old, called at
PfArrs house about Eve o'clock last
evening and asked for work. lie was
told ny Mira. Pfarr that they wanted no
help. He called agaih about 7 o'clock,
after Mr. Pfarr had returned from llla
labor ID the field, and was again told that
no help was wanted About $3.50 p. NJ.
Piarr and his family were aroused by
noise In the yard aud by the barking Of
the dog. Pfarr went out to nee what was
the matter and was mot by the negro who
visited the house In the evening, who
struck him a violent blow on the head,
apparently with some blunt instrument,
and bis skull was fractured. Mrs. piarr,
who followed him 10 the door, was then
savagely seized By the negro and forced
to give up what money was In the house,
after which Ahe was brutally faviShed.
After the negro had fed, Mrs. Pfnrr
dragged her inscnsible husband to tho
house and aroused the nBighbOrs. Every.
thing that was possible was done for him.
He remained rinconucious until noon 10.

prevails IN the neighbOrhood, and twenty
