matter Of Granville Wilson's assignee against
Upton Roop, mortgage, Judge Giles, 10 the
United States Circuit Court, on Saturday,
dissolved an injunction to restrain the mort.

that very small sum would remain for the
other creditors after paying the mortgage
debt, and the expenses in bankruptcy would
consume even the small residue if the assignee
were allowed to take the property out of the

MORTGAGE was allowed to go on with the
foreclosure. Vim. Fell Giles, Jr., and C. I.

HOW BLAINE GOT THE s64, 900.

However, his enemies say that il being
admitted that he was the owner of large
humber Of the bonds of the Little Rock
aud Fort Smith Railroad Company, make
the transaction with the Union Pacific
Railroad Company all the more difficult to
explain. That transaction they say was
as follows Blaine gave seventy five bonds
of the Little Rock aud Fort Smith Rail.
road Company to Thomas A. Scott, the
President Of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, who gave him therefor sG4, 600;
that Scott took these bonds to Morton.
Bliss d Co., and pledged them as collat,
eral security for the S64, 900 which he
gave Blaine, Morton, Bliss 4 Co. adyanc.
ing the money on SCOTS note. This note
Scott failed to pay, and accordingly be
had the Executive Committee of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company make the order
above quoted in order to get the money
for Morton, Bliss L. Co. This was on
Dee. 16, 1871, and in September, 1872
after the publication of the Credit Mobil.
Ter scandal, there was meeting Of the
directors of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, and it was stated that the bonds
of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Rail.
road Company were comparatively worth.
less, and that the Union Pacific Railroad
Company had not received the benefit of
the $4,000 which Morton, Bliss & Co.
had advanced on them. ThereupoL Mr..
Harrison, who was then one of the Gov
eminent directors, offered resolution
calling for committee to investigate the
matter and report who received thi.
money and all the circumstances con.
neeted with the transaction. The mo.
ment this was done, Il. Ii. Rollins
treasurer OF the company, came quietly to
Mr.. Harrison and urged him to withdraw
his resolution, assigning as his reason
therefor that an investigation would in.
volye Mr.. Blainc and defeat his re-elee.
ton. MIR. Harrison withdrew his resolu.
ton, but he was SO curious about the
matter that the next day he went to Rol.
Inns, in company with another Government
director, and asked him If he really meant
the day before to say that the investigation
Of the $4,000 matter would implieate
MIR. Blaine. Rollins said "Yes," and an.
peared very much delighted that lie had
succeeded so well in hushing it up. While
Horace Clark was President Of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company he began to stir
up this old transaction, and Oliver Ames.
It Is said, agreed that IL nothing more was
said about it he would take the Little
Rock and Fort Smith bonds and give the
Union Pacific $4,000 cash, which offer
was accepted.
This version of the story about Blaine s
connection with the transaction, it will be
observed, is not met at all by the letters
which he published from Morton, Bliss x
Co., and Il. II. Rollins.

THROUGH TO SAN FRANCISCO FOR
TWO DOLLARS.

A railroad train lately made the trip
from New York to San Francisco in less
than eighty-four hours, and a man
named Micheal Ryan lately rode by rail
from Chicago to San Francisco for 81 in
currency. One railroading feat is as re-
markable as the other. Ryan was not
an authorized "dead- head" either, but
legitimately cheat" his way as matter
of business. He got off the trains
promptly when the conductors kicked
him off, and patiently waited for the
next, and go on through, and he made
it before the same relays of conductors
came round again to spoil his game. He
started with 81 and that would have
been quite sufficient if he had not be-
come speculative toward the end OF the
trip. He paid his dollar for what was
left of ticket which an emigrant sold
him, and he Immediately resold 1t for
50. This carried him into San Francisco
in triumph. Ryan is proud of having
proved that the trip across the continent
can be made for 81, which is a much
greater reduction in money than eighty
four hours in time.
