tains OF this State. The girls wear dresses
even shorter than the regulation walking
skirt. They have knapsacks strapped over
their shoulders, wear broad. .buttoned, easy
shoes, dark hose, and are fixed up for COM
fort. They propose TO take trip on foot
through all OF the mountainous counties
OF North Carolina. In their baggage
they have hammocks, which will be used
in case they have 10 camp out at night. The
trip will consume about two months, and
cover district Of six or eight hundred
miles. The girls areall yonpg, the oldest
probably not over twenty-five and the
youngest sixteen. They are 1.-THE and
hearty, and appear to be able 10 make fif-
teen or twenty miles day easily. Three
OF the fair pedestrians are from Virginia
and the other three from Maryland. Three
ofthcn are pupils in II well known semi.
nary in Virginia and the daughters Of
well known business men in the State.
Their present novel and independ-
ent trip is made principally to graf.
ny one or two OF the party, who could
not afford 10 travel on railroads. When a
desire was expressed by them in the pres.
encc OF the other four girls who make up
the party to see the magnificent scenery Of
the western part Of this State, it was at
once proposed 10 tramp it through the
country, and thus avoid railroad fares and
at the sametime afford better view OF the
scenery. The party will leave here to.mor-
row for Asheville, in Buncombe county.
They do not manifest any fear OF being
molested in the long and lonesome route
They say they are fully able to take care OF
themselves. Part Of the way is through
dense forests, through which even many
daring men arc not anxious TO 10, cs-

WASHINGTON, August lO.-W. A. Red
field, Il telegraph operator at the Columbus
Barracks, Ohio, has been under arrest upon
n charge OF dcsertion, and awaiting trial
by court martial. Secretary Lincoln re-
ceivcd many petitions for his release and
today issued IN order releasing him from
confinement and dischargins him from the
army. The above order will no doubt
create lively satisfaction among the gentle.
men Of the tclesraphic fraternity through
out the country, as the facts leading to the
arrest Of Mr.. Redtield were well known
and universally condemned by opera
tors everywhere. 1t is stated that an
alleged friend OF Redtield's, then m
operator, but since dismissed, attempted to
blackmail him, and being unsuccessful,
represented him to recruiting officer rs u
deserter. The officer, however, was not
disposed to pay much attention to the
charge, but the friend ~ threatened TO
have the Sergeant arrested il he did not
tuke Redtield into custody. As the Ser
geant thought there might be some iounda-
ton for the charge, Redtield having entered
the service with al entire misapprchension,
however, OF the duties he was to undertake,
he was compelled to net and arrest, and
subsequent charges followed. General
Eckert and other prominent officials Of the
Western Union have taken interest in the
case, and Lieutenant Governor Richards,
Of Ohio, has been very active in his efforts
to procure liedGelds pardon.

Nh. JolIS JARRETT was reelected Presi-
dent Of the Amalgamated Association ut
Chicago yesterday. Mr.. Ed. Rogers, Of
this city, WIS also elected one OF the three
trustees oi the Association. 1t had been
understood all along that Mr.. Jarrett would
h.ererely antagonized for reelection, but
his success yesterday shows that he retains
the confidence Of Il majority OF the mcni-
befs OF tho highest representative body i'll
The Association. The grounds Of antagon.
ism TO him were understood to be his
alleged conservative views in regard to the
policy that should govern the Association
in the mattor OF strikes. 1t was charged
tla; he was not in sympathy with the
present strike, BECAUSE he did not
% into it with II hurrah, and that
he hal protested against it rs inop-
perfume. 1t was therefore said thata large
element in the Association would resist his
reelection. Whatever truth there was at
. any time in this reported opposition TO
Mr. Jarrett, it is certain That the result
Yesterday shows that the cooler and NOR c
influential element did not endorse the
opposition 10 him, but, OH the contrary,

PnILApElrIllA, August l0.--A number
OF prominent Land l.eaguers Of this eli,
are agtatlng the question OF extending
financial help TO Arabi Boy to aid him in
his cndeayors TO drive the English out el
Egypt. THE Parnell Branch, which Is con.
sidered the most influential in phila.
dolphin, has determined to forward TO- the
leader Of the Mohammcdan forces lis share
Of the profits Of the recent Lanl League
excursion to Atlantic City, which, Il is
estimated, will amount to $3.50. The
Henry Grattan Branch, which meets in
Enterprise Hall, Nineteenth ward, Inns fol.
lowed In the steps taken by the Parnell
Branch by devoling lis share Of the profits
OF the excursion to the same purpose. II
is stated that the Il. I. O'Connor Branch,
which meets mt Huntingdon and Tulip
streets, will probably pass similar resolu.
ton next Sunday. Tho attention OF tho
Central Union will be called to the matter
ut its regular meeting on Sunday evening
next by the representative OF tho Parnell
Branch, Mr.. Patton. -
1t is thosght likely that there will be a
warm discussion OF the points involved in
the new method .of attacking England, as
many Of the moro conservative members
Of the Central Union consider the scheme
indecorous and crack.brained. They think
it unwise and unnecessary to send money
abroad to the Egyptian leader while It
could be put TO better use in alleviatipc
tho iniseries OF many Of their destitute
conntrymen In Ireland.
Mr.. !. J. Griffin, editor OF the !; c. b. D.
Journal. is the gentleman who offered the
resolution at the meeting OF the Parnell
Branch. lie said yesterday, in defending
his course; "Enrollcd as we are under
the banner Of the Land League, We arc
unalterably opposed to England, and there.
fore we are friendly to all her enemies.
live can fight the foe outside OF our
native country, is it not much better than
doing so in Ireland? Here is chance for
us to get blow in on England and all
patriotic lrishmen will readily see the
necessity for prompt action. think that
every branch Of the Land League in this
city will give its quota to this fund. But
it will notstop here in PHILADELPHIA,
am in correspondence with prominent
members Of the League in other large
cities throughout the country, and they
intend to start the ball rolling as soon as
practicable. ~

DENVER, CoI-, August l0.-A sensational
case OF railroad bond and construction
swindlng, i'll Which Boston capitalists were
the sufferers, was developed in the District
Court here. The action was brought by
the Denver, Utah & Pacific Company
against the Denver, Longmont & North.
western Railroad Company. Complainant
company prayed that n receiver might be
appointed for the defendant. In the bill
OF complaint it was set forth that the road
has never paid its expenses, and that it
owes the Utah railroad several thou
sand dollars for track hire. It is
claimed that the expenses for operating
the road are more than $500 per day, while
the receipts are not $50 1t is set forth that
the leading roads refuse to recognize the
l.ongmont road, and, that.it is believed to
be swindle and against the interests Of
the State to permit ii 10 longer exist; that
the road was bonded for $4,000 per mile,
when in reality its road-bed. track and roll
Ing stock are not worth altogether more
than $4,000. The road rlns from the
Mitchell coal banks TO Longmont, Il distance
Of eleven miles. The truck was laid on
the top OF the ground, following gulleys, in.
clines and valleys. The ties used were lit.
tie better than fence palings. They were SO
thin that strong man could carry dozen
Of them in his arms, and the spikes went
all the way through them and struck
several inches into the dirt beneath.
The iron used was OF the cheapest kind. It
was bonded in Boston for $4,000 per mile,
and S+l0,000 for the entire road. The pro-
jectors said that they intended to build on
to the canyon Of Cache lie Poudrc, and over
the range to the Pacific. At that time the
Union Pacific held the Pachc lie Poudre
and there was no way for them. to reach
the Pacific slope by that route. Col. Theo-
dore a. Dodge, and man named Wells
originated the scheme. Wells is now
Superintendent OF the road. Ex-Mayor
Prince and Judge Abbott, OF Boston, Mass,
became interested in the project believing
it 10 be an honest and profitable one.
