The Rio Grande and Atchisou, Topeka 4

The Rio Grande and AtchIson, Topeka 4
Santa Fe Trouble.
DENVER, COL, July l4.-In the Federal
Court this morning Justice Miller, after re.
viving the motion Of dismissal Of the Re-
ceiver in charge OF the Rio Grande Rail-
road property, stated in brief that It was
done by Meyerin collision with the Dem
yer and Rio Grande Company to prevent
the restoration Of the property to the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Company,
and as subterfuge, there being no evi-
dence to show that the road was insolv.
ent, or good reason for the appointment
OF Receiver. He therefore dismissed
the Receiver and ordered him TO restore
the property at once to the parties from
whom he received it, and make full ac-
count for all moneys received and all
transactions under his management The
road is not to be restored to the Santa Fe
Company until further questions pending,
associated with the proceedings under the
lease, shall have become adjudicated.
In the Grand Canon case Judge Hallett
decided that the mandate Of the Supreme
Court giving a prior right to the Rio
Grande Company embraced the whole
line from Canon City to LeRdyille, and
that they must take all OF the constructed
line or none. They conld not take parts
here and there, accepting some and re-
jecting others, but must take all aud pay
the legitimate cost OF construction. This
includes from the Goth mile post to Lead.
vile. All the points concerning the mat
ter Of putting the Rio Grande Company
in possession and for the construction OF
the line westward are put in the hands ot
three expert Commissioners, one selected
by each OF the parties and the third by
the Court. Both parties are enjoined
from proceeding any further with the
work OF construction until the prelimipa,
ries are settled by the Commissioners,
when further orders will be given. This
decision leaves the Santa Fe Company
without anything except what may be re-
covered under prosecution OF the lease
suits. % t

facts, which may result in unravelIing the
overissue Of bonds in 1858. W. D. Boas,
OF Harrisburg, who was clerk under Bickel,
State Treasurer in 1858, and cashier under
Bailey, Bickel's successor, stated that
bonds to the amount OF $500, 900 were for.
warded to the Girard Bank OF Philadel-
phia from time to time, some of which he
transferred to the bank himself. OF this
amount 100000 were negotiated for the
use oil the State, and subsequently SOS, 900
were negotiated in London by the agents
OF the Girard Bank, leaving S72 900 not
negotiated, which he always understood
remained SO in the Girard Bank,
He stated that the department never had
any personal dealings with Charles s.
Boxer, but dealt with the bank alone. Il

A Young Bride Takes Her Life Under
strange circumstances.

Strange Circumstances.
EVANSVILLE, July l4.-Society in Evans
vile has been greatly shocked by the
suicide Of Mrs. DR.. ]. W. Irwin, lady
moving in the highest society here, and
very warmly admired by large circle Of
friends. DR.. and Mrs. Irwin have been
married only seven weeks, the bride hav-
ing been Miss Stella Mather, Of Fostoria,
Ohio, daughter Of Rev. D. D. Mathsr, Of
the Methodist Church there. She was
only about twenty years old, beautiful, ac-
complished, and surrounded by everything
to make her happy. Her husband Is a
very prominent young physician, who
lavished large sums OF money in fitting up
an elegant residence for his bride. Since
they moved home they have lived in per.
feet harmony and apparently very hap
pily, and the tragedy came like a thunder
shock to all. She shot herself twice with
a revolver, and death was instantaneous.
An inquest was Immediately held, and
facts elected showing that they had lived
In most blissiul happiness: It srumored,
however, that Mrs. Irwin had been prose-
cuted here by some woman who wrote her
letters claiming that DIR. Irwin had deceiv-
ed her, and that she had prior claim up
on him. This is not credited, and is pro-
nouuced false by those informed.
Developments tend to show that she
committed the deed in q moment Of terri
ble fascination. She had half dressed her
self and went to drawer to get an article,
and a pistol stared her in the face. She
took Il in her hands and the deed was
committed. There is no truth in the state.
ment that another woman had prosecuted
her with letters claiming to have been
fitted BY her husband. DR.. Twins con.
dition to-day Is causing much anxiety.

The damage by the storm Of last Friday
is not SO great as was at first supposed.
The farmers have about succeeded in dry
ing out the wheat and are now putting it
up in stacks. The greatest damage appears
to have been done to the corn fields and
orchards. The washing of the soil upon
the corn after 1t was blown down by the
violent wind preceding the rain, has hin.
dered it from Strengthening up again,
and makes the damage in this direction
much more severe than was sustained by
the other crops. A few orchards coming
under the notice OF the writer were badly
shaken, many hundred bushels Of apples
lying on the ground, and the trees injured
by the splitting and breaking OF branches.
