RANDALL AND THE sPEAKERsHIP.
WASHINGTON, sept. 2l.-LetLers from
influential people say that the high con-
tracting parties have made the neces-
sary agreements, and Samuel j. Ran
dali, after the third ballot, will be made
Speaker Of the next House OF Repre-
sentatives. 1t is believed that after MIR.
Randall is chosen, he will appoint com.
mittees which will be satisfactory to the
people of the Southwest; that is, the
Chairmen Of the Committees that have
in charge the matters OF subsidy Ior
the Southern Pacific Railroad will be
chosen from the friends of that measure.
At one time it was thought that the Ad-
ministrauon might capture the Hous :,
and make the Southern Pacific scheme
a partly Administration m assure, but
the Wisest friends of the party in power
think IL would be better to accomplish
that object by allowing the Democrats
to take the initiative.
II the House and Senate pass a sub
sdy bill presented by the Democratic
Chairman of committee appointed by
Dem cratic Speaker it will cause less
scandal TO the party in power than il
they passed The measure by R4pub-
lican influence and votes. 1t is not be-
lleved that President Hayes would veto
any bill which was demanded by the
people of the South. He Is probably op-
posed to the measure on principle, but
Will permit the measure TO pass as an
act of justice TO the Southwestern
States.
COL. TOM SCOTT WILL NOT RETIRE.
A rumor that Colonel Tom Scott in
tends to retire from the presidency Of
he Texas Pacific Railroad is autAorita-
lively denied.

KENTUCKY CRIMINAL,

1t will be remembered by the readers
of the STAR that about two months ago
little Cincinnati girl, who had been
adopted by and was living with Mrs.
George Christie, near Burlington, KY,
was raped in most brutal manner by ID
colored man named Charles Cooper.
The man, after committing the inhu-
man crime, lett that neignbOrhOod in Or
der 10 escape Judge Lynch, while the
girl was taken to one OF the CincinuatI
asylums for treatment.
Inc matter died out, until it was re
Yiyed recently by placing the case in
the hands of Detectives kushman and
Ampthauer.
The two learned that the alleged
criminal was working in Ghent, Ky.
They tetegraphed TO that place, and had
the man brought TO this city on some
pretense or other. They then also dis
patched to Burlington for some of the
ciLizens to come TO this city for the pur-
pose OF Identifying Cook.
Mr.. G. Brown and his mother re-
spouded, aud this morning the detec.
tlves arrested their man Oh Fifth street.
He was identified ana taken to the Ceu-
Lral Station to await requisition from
the Governor OF Kentucky.
Cook says he is innocent Of the charge,
that his name is Henry smith, anu that
he has been living in Gaent for the las t
Two. years. The Brown brothers, how
ever, are positive that he is the pers on
who committed The crime. Cook Will be
taken TO Burlington tomorrow.
