Railroad Men in Conference.

NEW YORK, Aug 11.-Tha joint ex
scutive committee of the trunk lines of
railroad met this morning at eleven
o'clock in the offices of Albert Fink.
the commissioner of the Pennsylyania
trunk line, for the purpose Of hold
ing a consultation with regard to thoS
present reduction in passenger rates sua
in reference to several other things OF
minor, though mutual, importance,
The representatives OF forty four roads
arrived very nearly on time and immed-
lately went into session. The business
of the meeting was kept secret, but it
is understood that a compromise has
been effected influencing the lates of
travel. 1t is r,mored that the New
York Central, the Pennsylvania, the
Erie and the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
roads have decided to fix the rates of
transportation, ofpassenger and freigh
at very low rates, and that the commit
tee have agreed to sustain them. 1t ia
therefore extremely probable that the
passenger rates will be Increased within
forty eight hours on the roads which
are now engaged in the competitor OF
prices.

Switzerland.

LONDON Aug. 1.-THE Geneva
correspondent of the Times says:
Switzerland is beginning to suffer
seriously from drought, which, except
fora few hours, has lasted two months.
The grass is completely burned up, and
there is no chance of making the usual
second hay crop. There is u great
scarcity Of water in most parts of the
country. In the mountain pasture in
several Cantons and in Savoy beasts
are perishing for lack of water and from
the heat. Whole herds have perisheu
in the Cation of Schwyse in the
Vaudois Alps and in tho valley of the
Jura. If the drought continues week
or two longer it will 60 far to neutralize
the effect Of the excellent grain crops
and the vintage, which bids fair to be
oneo of he most abundant on record.

Police Court Last Night.

Samuel Berry, cOlored, was charged
with reckless driving at Fourth and
French streets yesterday morning,
which resulted in the injury of Mr..
| DicKerson. The accident was fully re.
ported yesterday. His Honor heard
the statement of several witnesses, one
Of whom said, that if he had not
stopped the team Mr.. Dickerson
would have been run over, and another
testified that Berry was a reckless
driver, and came very near running
into him, few weeks ago. The Mayor
reserved his decision in the matter un-
til he could learn the extent Of Mr..
D!ckerson's injuries and ordered the
prisoner to be locked up for the pres
tnt.
William Mitchell, a colored man, was
charged by James Davis, n man of his
own color, with using threatening and
abusive language toward him. 1t seems
that Davis, who resides near Smyrna.
is on visit to some colored ladies in
this city. Mitchell uecoming jealous of
him entered a house where he was
staying and made the threats that
caused his arrest. After the witnesses
had been examined the prisoner asked
the Mayor if he intended to send him
to Jail. and turning to Davis said, "you
are too old to fight but not too old to
steal chickens" and as he was about to
leave the dock turned to the prosecutor
with 'Hle man, a rooster will crow in
your pocket fore Saturday night"
The prisoners comicalities caused a

Mayor fined him 81 and costs and or
Tered him to furnish Sl00 bail to keep
he peace.

AN ALLEGED COUNT.
He Creates q Sensation at Long
Branch,

Count Arnett Anderson, as he calle,
himself, who was about to become tb
husband of Mrs. Nordell, the widow q
the well-known florist at Long Branch
suddenly left her and her children il
New York, on Thursday last, and ha.
not been heard of since. He wenl
with two of the children to the office Of
TRANSATLANTIC steamship company to
purchase tickets for the entire family,
who believed that they were going to
Europe, there to reside on the estate of
the Count. He sent the children back
to their mother at the hotel with the
message:
"Iell mamma that my brother in
Chicago Is dead, and must go there at
once. She can 60 back to Long Branch
or stay at the hotel until come back"
Mrs Nordell made an active search
for Anderson Immediately, but he could
not be found. kilograms were sent to
Europe and the principal cities OF the
United States to intercept him.
1t seems that since the death of MIR,
Nordell about two years ago, the
business of supplying bouaets and cnt
flowers to the hotels at Long Rraneh
has been carried on by his widow, and
handsome profits made. Last season
Anderson, who was disguised az a
tramp, being, as he said, an exile from
ms tatherland, obtained employment at
Mr.. Nordells conservatory. He had a
luxurlant black mustache, was nearly
six feet tall, and had Louis Napoleon
lace and figure with most attractive
manners and speech. He helped Mrs.
Nordell to make bouquets, and was
liked by the girls, who came in car
rlages to the conservatory to purchase
them. Every ybody called him the Count.
Finally, he pursuasled the widow to ac.
cept his hand in marriage, and to relin-
qnish her business and 90 to live on his
es ate in Germany. So Mrs. Nordell
leased the gardens for five years, and
gave the money to tie Count. He also
collected all of the cash bills due. and
got some in advance. Then be appeared
on Ocean avenue as a Count of the
German Empire, elegantly dressed, aud
always with a primrose in the upper
left-hand buttonhole of his driving
coat. 1t IS said that Mrs. Nordeil
placed all of her ready cash in his
hands last week, when they went to
New York on the way for Berlin.
Mrs. Nordell and her children have
.aken apartments in small house on
second avenue. There is great sympa-
,hy felt for her. ;

At Amherst College, in the class o
,H3 there were two chums, who haC
s,uck together ever since they had first
entered college. They were fast friends
on1 no trouble had ever disturbed ther
friendship. One was the son of rich pa.
rents-the other of a country minister.
When they graduated, the rich mans
son vent into business with his father
An New York and took his friend with
hin as an emplcye. Things went
smoothly for sometime, when that com
mon accident OF life happened-the
both fell in love with the same girl.
4 The fight in the heart of the employer
was long and bitter, but contrasting
his position with that of his friend, the
difference in the advantages he could Of
fer the woman, he yielded, and with
scarce word of parting, and none of ex-
planatiOn, he left New York and went
West. A year afterwards found him in
San Francisco, and he soon Joined the

His fortune was yariel-at times
rich, at times poor. Afterward in Ne

when the silver craze struck Leadvllle
he went there. There he was success

Stepping forward to help her, he first
looked with wonder, then, joy, TO see
that it was the woman he had run
away from so long ago, woman now |

to her timidly at first, and uncertain. |

his questions became faster yet, and |
her present condition was soon known

depending on her own exertions for sup
