BURGLAR OR LOTHARiO?
A Lively Saturday Night Sensa-
ton I'm the Forest City.

CLEVELAND, o., May 22.-Paul GAS
ton, one OF the most extensively known
colored men in the city was arrested this
morning, and charged with burglary.
Last fall Gaston was a Democratic can
didate for Justice OF the Peace, and made
several stirring speech es for that party.
About 3 O'Clock this morning he was
caught in Mrs. Wescott's house, on
Hamilton street, by the lady ot the
house. After having struggle with
him, he tore away from her, and leaped
ihrolgh window, taking the
greater part OF it along, and cutting
himself quite badly. He left b-hind a
mask and long dirk knife, which have
been identified as belonging to Gaston.
Castor denies that he was at the house
at all, and says that for two years he has
been on too intimate terms with Mrs.
Wescott, who nov seeks To shake him
of for some one else. To do this, she
stole his mask and knife, and put them
where found, and then reported to the
police that he bai committed burglary,
On account Of Gaston's prominence here
in the past, the arrest has created much
stir.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
OLD DOMINION DEMOCRATS PLEDGED
TO OLD AVAILABILITY.
The German Vote hraysd SOlidly Against
Grant-RandOlphs Boom Expanding
The Successors Of Senator
Gordon, Of Georgia.
RlLtrS VERY STIFF UPPER llP

Senator Randolph, OF New Jersey, AS
possible Democratic candidate, still
has the call in Washington, and il is be-
lieyed his boom is strengthened by the
result Of the Virginia Convention, il be-
ing claimed that he has strong friends
in the delegation. Itsppesrs that while
the Old Dominion delegates are divided
in preference among Seymour, Field,
Thurman, Randall and Randolph, they
will vote rs a unit for the candidate who
appears to be the most available in
Cincinnati. The opposition OF the Ger
mans to 'irant is explained by a repre-
sentative OF that class in Washington,
TO be a fear that the third term will
lead To government as absolute
as that lrOm which they fled
to this country. The most authentic re-
ports OF the standing of the California
delegation to Cincinnati divide its votes
between 1ildsn, Thurman and Hen
dTicks, and there is great surprise at
Fields weakness in that quarter. Gen
eral Ransom will succeed Senator Cor
don a. chairman of the Committee on
Commerce in the House. Governor
Brown, the successor of Gordon in the
senate, is friend Of Ben Hill, and the
Senatorial delegation OF that State will
no longer be divided against itself.
Riley says that Hanlsn is not invin-
chile, and he believes that he will beat
him on Wednesday.

HISTORY oFTHE COMPANY.
The Causes OF its Downfall, and It's Enor-
nous Liabilities.

PHnApRLPHIA, May 23.-The sus-
pended comnanv is ono OF the oldest
railroad uor,,vlaliohs IN the United
States. Ii was chartered with the name
that il still bears by the Legislature OF
Pennsylvanis in 1888. Its original line
from Philadelphia to Reading was open
ed for travel in 1883. The system has
gradually been increased. both by con-
struction and leases, until the company
controlled and operated over 800 miles
of road, which reach in many branches
over the coal fields of Pennsylvanls. 1t
is also the lessee OF the Schuylkill Canal,
los miles long, aud the Susquehanna
Canal, 45 miles long. ,
The principal business OF the railroad
company is the transportation oil coal
from what are known as the hrst anu
second anthracite coal fields OF Pennsyl-
yania to Port Richmond, near Philadel-
phia. Its % wharves, laid with 80 miles
OF track, at that point afford the most
ample facilities OF the kind IN the
world. The road is stocked with 4lo
engines, 334 passenger coaches, $3.50
freight cars and lI,753 coal and iron
cars. The Philadelphia Coal and Iron
Company, which is an offshoot OF the
railroad company, and practically con
solidated with IL, was organized under
its auspices in 1871 as the Laurel Run
Improvement Company. The title was
changed 10 the present name late in the
same year. That company was formed
for the purpose OF purchasing and oper
ating the coal properties with which the
railroad was connected. 1t Was the
purchase Of these properties at the high
valuation Of ten years ago that has
handicapped the Reading company and
ultimately caused its suspension.
The railroad company is capitalized al
$34, ,27s,l75, OF which $l,65l, 500 Is pre-
ierred stock. Its funded debt IS S75,'
800. 7s7, and It's floating debt Nov. 80

sues Of the Day.
IS THE GREAT IURlSTA CANDIDATE ?

Coming at this time. the open letter
OF Senator David Davis, of Illinois, has
great significance. He takes this OPP
portunity to put himself on record on
the great questions now agitating the
public mind, and the platform upon
which he has placed his feet is broad
enough, clear enough and right
enough, for every Democrat to stand
upon. 1t has been more OF less
seriously remarked that the disting-
uished Senator held an anolnrlous posi-
ton in the Senate, in that he was an in
dependent party in himself, but this
declaration of his principles will give
him a prominent place in the regular
Democratic procession.

HISTORY or A GREAT MONOPOLY.

The suspension of the Philadelphia

caused a sensation in the financial world
second only to the failure of Jay Cooke
4 Go. The aggregate of the liabilities is
in excess of the enormous sum OF one
hundred and twenty millions of dollars,
but there is yet some hope
that arrangements can be
made by which the operations
OF both corporations may be continued,
and that will eventually lead to the
clearing away OF the monstrous incubus
OF Indebtedness. The suspension was
brought about by extensive operations
made with view Of mOnopOlizing the
cream OF the anthracite coal trade.
