FROM ATLANTA.
Wind Storms and Freezing Weather
Damage to Fruits and Vegetables
Lease of the Atlanta and Char
lOtte Air Line RaIlrOad-The City
Infested with Thieves and
Burglars.

ATLANTA, April 2.-Hesvy winds and
very light snow in the air for the past two
days. The weather is very chilly. There
was over an inch Of ice this morning.
Several attempts at a snow storm failed,
although there was light fall on Thursday
morning early. There was heavy freeze
last night, and the fruit trees and early
vegetables are badly damaged. 1t has been
warmer to-day, but cold night is antici-
pated.
Messrs. Pond & Garrett were too late in
securing their injunction in New York to
prevent the lease and transfer of the At
lanta and Charlotte Air Line Railway to the
Richmond and Danville Railroad. The
transfer Of all the property was made here
yesterday afternoon, and Messrs. Talcott,
Pope and Haas this morning assumed coz
troll Colonel Foreacre remains General
Superintendent for the present, but all the
other prominent officials take subordinate
rank as assistants to Messrs Talcott, Pope,
Hass and Barber. The headquarters of the
company will be transferred to Richmond,
Va. This transfer will not be a good thing
for Atlanta. Permanent changes may be
made shortly in all the departments.
Atlanta is just now infested with thieves
and burglars, some of which are doing a
lively business. The police, however, are
on the lookout and have made several ar

MR.. CONKLING'S POSITION.
What He VIII DO and Why He
VIII DO It.
Washimqtog Star.

Some of Senator Conkling's friends
say that he intends to make plain to the
Republican party and to the country all
the grounds of his warfare with the ad.
ministration. 1t is probable, say some,
that the Senator will take opportunity to
put his position before the people in open
session of the Senate; that he will not
wait for an executive session. Mr.. COnk-
ling, as reported upon excellent authori-
ty maintains that Secretary Blaine is re-
sponsible for the nomination of Mr..
Robertson: that the intention to nomi-
nate the latter was not mentioned be-
fore the name was sent in to
either of the New York Senators. Mr..
Conkling holds that to give Robertson
the power of the Collectorship would be
a move towards disrupting and break
ing up the organization of the Republi
can party in New York, which Mr..
Conkling controls; that this would split
the party so that it could not carry the
State. A close friend of Mr. C0nkling
says he intends to make the fight, and
would do 80 were he the only Senator
who would vote against Robertson; that
he expects to be defeated; he expects
Robertson to be confirmed. but that the
fight will go beyond the Senate, and in
1884 Mr.. Blaine and those who are
undertaking now to manage New York
politics will be left to carry the State, if
they can. 1t is also asserted that eight
or ten Democrats will vote with Mr..

THE UNITED KINGDOM.
A FIGHT WITH THE POLICE IN
MAYO.
The "FreEhett'' ProsecuIIon-Eng-
land and the Monetary Conference
-Bradlaughss Seat-A Clergyman
TO Oppose him.

LONDON, April "A public meeting con-
vened by the FTeihen defense committee
was held at the Socialist Club room in Lon
don last night to protest against the seizure
of the 'plant" of FreiAeit and the arrest of
Herr Most. An Englishman presided over
the meeting. An English edition
of FSeiheit was distributed In the
room, containing an appeal to
Socialists of all nationalities. A resolution
was passed declaring that the arrest of Herr
Most and the seizure of the ''plant" of Frei-
heit were arbitrary and unjust, and acts
worthy of Russian and -qerman despotism.
The Times says it Is stated that Herr Most's
writings In FTelheit have long
been condemned and repudiated by
the responsible chiefs OF Socialists in Lon
don and in Germany, and that recently he
and his followers in London have been
formally excluded from the party. He was
regarded as a hindrance rather than an aid
TO the propaganda. A complete file of
FreiheH was among the spoils seized
by the police on Wednesday
during Herr Most's imprisonment. The
Daily Telegraph states that on the Liberal
side of the House of Commons a strong
feeling is expressed against the mode in
which the prosecution of Freiheit is
being carried on, and this feeling will
probably soon find expression.
Mr.. Gladstone's reply In answer to ques-
tion from Mr.. John Henry Puleston, in the
House of Commons yesterday,as to whether
England would be represented at the None
tary Conference, was somewhat peculiarly
worded. He said: 81 am hardly able
OiVp OOGftiUn rpDlV When
1 last heard OF the subject
it had not been decided. The honorable
member knows that the invitation which
reached us virtually pledged US to adopt BIZ
metalism." It is to be noted that, notwith-
standing the foregoing, there is the best
reason for believing that the question is
practically closed adversely to British re-
presentation.
Rev. Henry Varley will contest North
ampton against Mr. Bradlaugh. He says
in his address to the electors: "The man
who denies the existence Of Divine Law
giver is unfit to legislate." The Conserva-
tives will also put up candidate, and con-
sequently the reelection of Mr.. Bradlaugh
becomes a matter of considerable uncer-
tainty.
LONDON, April Am affray has occurred
between the people and police, who were
protecting a process server on an estate
near Ballaghade, in county Mayo. Two
men were killed and many wounded.
The election for member of Parliament in
Northampton is fixed for Saturday next.
DUBLIN, April Sat land meeting at
Clough, county Kilkenny, to-day, Mr..
Dillon read telegram from the branch
League at Ballaghaderin about the affray
there yesterday, stating that the police had
fired on the people without provocation,
and that two men were killed, two were
dying and three were wounded.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
When the Property of One Corpora
IIOn May be Taken for the Pure
poses of Another.

WHEELING, W. VA, April 2.-The su-
preme Court of Appeals of this State to-
day decided the suit between the Pittsburg
Wheeling and Kentucky Railroad Company
and the Baltimore and Ohio Company, In.
volving the right of way for
the former through the lower
limits of the city to the village
of Benwood, in favor of the former compa-
n.y. In deciding the case the Court held
that the Baltimore and Ohio Company was
a domestic and not foreign corporation, and
that the Federal Courts had no iur sdiction
in the case. The Court also held that the
property of one railroad company, not in
actual use and not necessary for the proper
exercise of the franchise of the company,
may, under the general railroad law of the
State, be condemned for the purposes Of
another railroad company.
