A RECENT New York dispatch says:
The action of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, dissolving the receivership of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway,
removes obstacles that have stood in the way
of consolidation of that company with the
Missouri Pacific Railway Company. Nego-
tiations for consolidation of these compa-
MES have been in progress for some time land
now the union is likely to be accomplished.
Jay Gould is President of both companies,
largely interested in both, and he favors
their union.
THE New York and other Eastern
canals were all tightly frozen during the re-
cent cold spell. 1t is estimated that there
are several million bushels Of grain in tran
sit on the Erie Canal, and an effort will be
made to put it through to its destination be-
fore the water is let out of the
canal. The Illinois Canal is
also closed, with some 1900, 900
feet of lumber and considerable grain afloat
between Joliet and La Sale. Navigation on
the Northern Lakes has also been seriously
interrupted by ice in the harbors. Lake st.
Clair was frozen tight. Reports from every
section of the United States and Canada
speak of the recent continued cold spell as
being unprecedented for November.
A GIGANTIC land swindle has been
unearthed at Cincinnati, the three principal
operators in which have been arrested. They
are A. j. Tullis, lawyer, Jacob Nine and
Cornelius McGoldrick. Their scheme con-
sisted in forging the ttle-deeds to large
quantities of land owned by the eccentric
millionaire jeremiah Tullis, who died two
years ago. It is said some ten thousand acre
of land in Iowa, in the vicinity
of Fort Dodge, have been
thus fraudulently conveyed, and
innocent parties are now occupying the
property. Other lands in Illinois, Missouri
and Tennessee have been similarly disposed
of. The method was to make a deed from
Tullis to McGoldrick, dated year or two
before Tullis's death; MEG oldrick would
deed it to another of the party and then 1t
would be sold to the innocent victim.

Indiana, died at indianapolis on the Goth, at

A LATE Dublin dispatch says: Ac-
counts received from various parts Of Ire
land by agents for property represent that
the state of the country is still more dis
turbed and demoralized. The combination
against the payment Of rents is extending
into districts hitherto peaceable. Tenants
who do not pretend to be unable to pay their
rents meet their landlords dcfantly, and in
