EASTERN DISPATCHES
ESPECIAL TO THE SILVER STATE.
Whisky Ring i'm Chicago.

CHICAGO, January 4, 1876.
Hessing. Rheim aud Miller claim to
be innocent OF any completely in
whisky frauds, and pretend they do
not know of any cause of their arrest.
lis stated on the contrary that proof
against them is absolute and convinc-
ing. and will insure punishment
Rumors are ahoat that one or more OF
them are preparing for flight, bnt this is
not generally credited. 1t seems quite
certain that number of distillers will
plead guilty, and appeal to the elena
ency OF the Courts. since they have no
hope of escaping the Penitentary in
any Other way. There is possibility
that Shufeld's distillery will be seized
to-day. and thus the last establishment
closed, but Shufield's friends are con-
kdent that there is nothing wrong.
Consolidation Of Railroads - VAN
derbiIt to he President.
TOLEDO, January 4.
M. X. Muir, General Manager of the
Canada Southern Railroad, and Charles
Pane, General Manager of the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad
were in the city yesterday consulting
with regard to the amalgamation of the
lines of the two roads between this
city and Detroit. The details have
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1876-01-05

been arranged. Tie basis is supposed
to be the pooling of the earnings OF
both roads between Toledo and De-
troit; the Canada Southern to gain all
mission to the grounds of the Lake
Shore road in this city; the Canada
Southern will still go into the Michi-
gan Central depot at Detroit. Cores
pondent had talk with gentleman
who claims to know, relative to the
reported election of Vanderbilt to the
Presidency of the Canada Southern
Railroad, says the road, or ut best
$7,000,0O0 OF its stock were offered TO
Vanderbilt on the condition that he
would complete the road to Chicago.
The latter, however, wanted to run it
into the Lake Shore at Butter, but this
did not suit Dillon, and SO the matter
rested; but q movement at Toledo looks
as though terms had been agreed upon,
and Vanderbilt would soon be Presi-
dent of the Canada Southern.
u Friest on Public schools.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Jan. 4.
Yesterday Father Ryan gave notice
from his pulpit in st. Patrick's Church
that ne would withhold from all parish
toner's sacrament of penance who per-
sisted in sending their children to the
public schools. He doubtless spoke
from the authority of the Bishop. The
announcement caused great excitement.

DISTINGUISHED WITNESSES.

A dispatch to-day says the Presi-
dent aud Secretary of the Treasury
will be summoned to St. Louis to tes-
tify in the case of the United States vs..
Babcock, indicted for completely in the
whisky frauds. The Government off,
Gals at st. Louis are determined to
make the people believe they are in
earnest in their attempt to convict the
Private Secretary. 1t looks, however.
as though it was more for effect than
anything else, as the moment ex-Sena-
tor Henderson showed that he intended
to send every member of the whisky
ring to the penitentiary, he was re-
lieved from the position of United
States Special Attorney by orders from
Washington. Babcock knows too
much to be convicted. 1t would not do
on the eve of Presidential election to
have him disrobe officials high in au-
thority, and expose their corrupt
practices. Babcock must be, white
washed. at whatever expense, or
Grants thirdterm aspirations will
come to close.

HUMBOLDT PIONEERS.

The attention of old Humboldters is
directed to call of III. S. Thompson,
president of the Pioneers in another
column. The society was organized
nearly three years ago for the political
purpose of Strengthening the bonds of
friendship. which neither religious,
or social influences have been able to
sever, between the early settlers of this
county. by bringing them together &C.
casionally, where they can hold social
intercourse with each other and re-
hsarse the startling incidents of the
times which in the language of Gen.
eral Harris tried mems stomachs.
The society numbers among its mem
bers many of the best citizens OF the
county, but there is room for more,
as preachers say at revivals. Every
person of good moral character, who
resided in this county prior to January
LIST 1864, is entitled to membership.
Every old Humboldter is, therefore, ell.
igible. as all without exception are not
rich enough to be Dishonest. Every
member who can possibly attend
should be present this evening. and
those who are not members. should
make application to the secretary at
once.
