of the conductors and drivers having left the
company helpless. At first they made faint
show of running their cars ,but the initial car
was unceremoniously dumped into ditch by
the passengers as soon as they learned the true
state ol affairs, and the passengers themselves
cheerfuly resumed their journey down town
about three mites, on foot. No other attempt
was made to run the cars. The employees dis
tinctly state that they will attempt no Boy

Railroad Consolidation J..

New York, April 11.-At meeting of the
chamber of Commerce, the report of the COM
mittee on railroad transportation was read
and adopted. The report concludes with the
statement that great efforts are now being
made by persons in tho railroad interest to
prove that railroad consolidation, with all its
increase of power in the hands of q few men, is
in the interest of commerce, because
it reduces the proportiona.e expense of
operating these modern highways, and con-
slant decline in charges for transportation is
pointed out to in confirmation of this theory
Your committee are, of course, aware of the
greater proportional economy of operating
large than small establishments of all kinds,
and to his ruls railroads are no exception.
We have no objections to all railroads in the
United States being consolidated into single
system, provided that system Is controlled in
the interest OF the public, but 81 long as rail-
road managers permit gross favoritism
and discrimination against both commu-
mites and individuals, so long as
they seek by stock watering, and other de-
vices, TO obtain from the public more than n
reasonable compensation for the service rem
dered, so long as they try TO perpetuate these
: buses by OBJ aiming control Of the legislative,
jud cial and executive departments of our
government, ju tsOlong must we esteem the
consoi idation of railroad power detr menta Al
to all classes of citizens and perpetual mem
ace to public welfare, for it is calculated to re-
distribute the wealth OF the country, virtually
concentrating the commerce of the nation in a
few hands and making all others tributary
thsreto.

Washington, April9.-The talk about an ex-
ira session of congress Is being revived again
1t is known that Mr.. Blaine has never yielded
from his position-that the session should
be called-and 1t is believed that he will
not cease to urge the president TO take
the step as the best means to unlock the SIT
uation In the senate that is daily growing
more EN- barrassing. The democratic leaders
have said from the beginning that II there was
a session called or If the matter of reorgsnlza-
tion was postponed till The regular session OF

Determination. IL isnot deemed Improbable,
therefore, that it they persist In their OBJ

Will urge this step, and IL il believed that the

them aid say that the deadlock must be
broken. 1t Is evident that there has been
considerable bluster in the talk of maxim
war against the administration because OF
kobertson's nomination. Conkling much
prefers a compromise to war, and he and al
his friends are using all their energies To
obtain some little concession from the presi.
dent, so that retreat may be sounded and
called a compromise. Maxey, VOORHEES, and
Garland, v no have been published as his
supporters, deny and denounce the report as
false. On the republican side. Conk.
ling, should he press his oppo-
siton to Robertson to vote, would not get
exceeding dozen senator's. Conkling was
elected to go to Wisconsin with Carpenter q
remains, knowing that whatever might occur
in the senate his fight could not open in his
absence. He is seeking every mesns to delay
the opening OF the battle, in the hope that some
arrangeme may be made by which he can
retreat without dishonor.
Rumors are flying about the capital this af-
terpoon more lhckly than usual; one being
that senate committee OF republican sena tors
had been appointed in Conkling's interest to
urge the president to withdraw Robertson
and substitute man from some other state
than New York. While it is true that Conk-
ling is trying all sorts of schemes, the presl-
denJ has declared himself as firm as rock to
stand by Robertson unless the latter volunta-
rilY withdraws. The talk about appointing
David Davis collector of New York is consid.
cred silly trash. He would not have the Office
and its ceaseless annoyances.

More moonsbiners Captured.

Pittsburg, Pa, April II THE revenue officers
who made O raid on the moonshlners In the
mountains of Fayette and Somerset counties
captured two manufacturers of crooked Wills
kew and two men who are either accomplices
or unwilling witnesses. The persons arrested
are Jonathan Hochstler, William Miller, Josiah
Wicklow and Samuel Pile. The case was
worked up by w. f. Poole, who says hestarted
on Monday afternoon to examine Miller's dis.
tillery for the purpose of furnishing evidence.
He met Miller on the way peddling whisk ey
and other articles, and bought a
keg of the liquor from him., He then
returned 10 Mount Pleasant and found the
party sent out from the city. Arrangements
were made as rapidly as possible for the raid.
Two spring wagons and three horses were Sc
cured, and the party started at one O'Clock on
Tuesday morning. Most of the way tne snow
