Charged with NInnsIougb,,r

TROY, N. Y, Aug. 15.-L. w. Johnston,
the telegraph operator whose negligence
is said to have caused the recent fatal
collision on tho Troy and Boston rail
way, near Petersburgh Junction, when
six lives were lost, was arrested this
afternoon at Hoosick falls, where tho inquest
was held, and brought to Troy. In a hear
ing in the case counsel for Johnson made tho
point that the arrest was irregular, inasmuch
as johnson had been induced to come into
the state by the coroner with the under
standing that he would not be arrested.
Tho magistrate overruled tho objection to
the charge Of manslaughter in the second de-
gree. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. He
will be released on bail. johnson denies that
he is responsible for the accident according
to his construction of the orders sent him.

United States school Houses.


The new national party will never consent
to the proposed folly of distributing millions
of surplus revenue among the states to bo
diverted, squandered, and dissipated by
"rings" of venal legislators.
A far superior policy would be to construct
national model school houses in every city
and town in the United States. The sites to
be donated by the cities and towns and the
jurisdiction to be ceded by tho respective
state legslatures-th same as other govern
ment buildings-and an act Of congress to this
effect would be constitutional.
In consideration of the school houses being
kept in repair, the government would lease
them to the local authrities who then would
have complete control.
A general act of this character would en-
able congressman to easily secure popularity
by having handsome United States school
houses erected in the cities and towns in
their districts. By order,
CLIFTON SYLVESTER,
Secretary pro tempore.

His Spcculatlons in tho Old Gentlemnn's
Absence Brought the Firm OF stedman
d. Co. to Ruin.
NEW York, Aug. l5,-Tho excitement and
alarm caused by the Ballou failure of yester-
day had just begun to somewhat abate to-day
when the announcement was made that the
firm of ID. G.. Stedman q Co., bankers and
brokers, of 30 Broad street, had gone under.
At / o'clock Mr. Stedman announced from
the rostrum of the stock exchange that pend
ing the examination into the affairs of Cecil,
Ward Il Co., who fai ed recently, he had
made an assignment to John McCiinnis, of tho
firm of McGinnis, Fearing q Walsh. The
announcement caused u panicky feeling
throughout the exchange and prices fell con-
sidorably all around The firm is composed
of Il. @. Stedman and his son Frederick,
who had bOen % member for three years
past. Mr.. Stodman's brother-in-law said
that Mr.. Stedman returned to the Office
on Monday last from u three days vacation,
and on looking over the accounts Of the firm
found n large deficiency. He at once caused
u thorough investigation, and was almost
Frustrated by discovering that during his ab-
sence frederick Stedman had been speculat-
ing heavily on his own account with moneys
belonging to the firm. Although it is not
known, it is supposed that his transactions
were made through the firm of Cecil, Ward &c
Co. The liabilities will not exceed 100000,
and the suspension will be merely temporary.
II is expected that tho assets will nearly reach
the amount of the liabilities. The elder
Stedman has been member of the stock
exchange since its foundation in 1865,
and has always been looked upon with re-
spect and honor by Wall street men generally
for his integrity in business transactions His
son Frederick is 23 years old. His
friends say that of late speculation was al
most mania with him, and that doubtless he
expected to return the monoy to the credit of
the firm when he should have made up his
losses by further ventures. Many expressions
Of sympathy were made for Mr.. Il, c. Sted-
man, and numerous offers of financial assist
ance have already been rendered by his many
friends on the street. He has declined them
all, however, saying that he will settle his
affairs in the usual way.
