Arkansaw Railroad BENDS.

New York Banker and Broker.l
An effort is likely to be made to
compel the railroads Of Arkansaw
which have received aid bonds from
the State to pay the face ofthose bonds
to the owners. The Attorney General
Of the State has given an opinion that
the roads are responsible, and opin-
ions to the same effect have been ex.
pressed by Senator Garland, Cover
nor Churchill, ex.Ohiet Justice NJ.
S. Mcclure aud others. There are
$5,350,000 Of the bonds outstanding
issued to the following roads: Mem
phis & Little Rock, 81. 200,0C1; Little
Rock & Fort Smith, 81, 000, 900; Little
Rock, Pine Bluff Il New Orleans,
81, zoo, 900; Mississippi, Ouaohita &
Red River, 5000 and Arkansaw
Central 49, ,0C0. All of these roads
are now completed, and are said to be
doing a good business, with the ex-
oeption OF the two last named, and
work is being vigorously pushed on
The 0uachita road. Suits against the
railroads will probably be brought in
the United States Court at once.

Bad weather has its effect upon

weakness prevails in leading con

old smoked grades being scarce and
prices sustained when there is any to
be obtained. Flour i%nclines down

droopy, except hay, The poultry
dealers are in an unsettled frame,
large quantities of chickens having
gathered on their hands, and many are

price. Eggs are unsettled, and sales
occurred as high as 25c per doz

The Presidenf Unhappy.

A lawyer friend of Gath's says that
Garfield is in a most unhappy state of
mind, afraid that his precipitation has
at last opened the breach in the party
through which the democratic enemy
is to enter into a long possession. His
wife, who is a woman of good sense
and perception, was brought to her
bed by discerning that he had split on
this rock in the early weeks Of his
power. The same authority says that
two or three persons in the cabinet
are byno means satisfied with the out
look for the party, and expect that the
loss of New York this fall will give
them the whole labor of the past five
years to do over again, even if they
ever succeeded in recovering the state
after tho heart-burnings which have
been s0Wn.

Danville, Va, June 12.-During
the eclipse of the moon last night,
Jno. Taylor, negro who had grossly
assaulted a white woman, was taken
from the Greensboro Jail and hanged.
Large numbers of persons visited the
scene of the lynching to-day.
The lynchers numbered about 200.
Upon the refusal of the jailer to de-
liver the keys of the jail they tore
down the fence, broke open the Jail
doors, and overpowering the guard,
took the keys and unlocked the shack
les of the negro. and brought him to a
buggy in waiting.
When tied IN the buggy, the crowd
rode of with the negro at a swift gal
lop. Alta point seven miles south Of
Reidsyille, Rockingham county, N,
c., the negro was hanged. The affair
was so unexpected and so quietly done,
it was not generally known in Greens
boro until all was over.

it. Another correspondent says the
decision of all the groups of the left

of the senate rejecting the Scrutin de

What Patti Exnectn 30 dIet.

The Brooklyn Eagle thinks if Mr..
Gye expects to find Americans green
enough to pay him $40 seat to hear
Patti sing he will be much mistaken.
And yet his terms with the fair prima
donna are such that he cannot we'll
charge less. He pays her $1,000 a
night, and the other salaries of his
company will swell the sum total of
expenses to not less than $1,000 each
performance. The engagement is for
fifty nights. 1t does seem that dis.
aster must result from it; but we are
such a money making and money
spending people that perhaps Mr.. Gye
has not miscalcula'ed the effect of
Patti notes upon our pocketbooks.

foot to consolidate under one manage
ment several large iron companies
doing business in this section of coun-

Pilot Knob iron company, with cap
stock Of s2,OOO,OOO the Vulcan iron
aud steel works, capital $l,5O0,OOO; /;

make their output the largest in this
country.
