used by me which was not mine, but

provide him with sufficient means to carry
on a commission business, chiefly butter

what is known as 'kiting.' This continued
for some time, my attorney conatantly as
suring me that in short tims it would be
unnecessary to continue the process OF
'kiting.'
After while began to grow uneasy,

HhIstling Down Brakes on the
Bargar Bill

th. Senate.
FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Special Dispatch % The Reaister.

SptCtub DtsltutCH W hSgtSlc,
COLUMBUS, O., March 2S.-One of the
most terrific lobbies that has been in
Columbus for years, is here this week, to
fight the passage of what is known as the
Bargar railroad bill in the Senate. This
bill passed the House last week by vote OF
sixty.seven to seven, in fact, scarcely with.
out opposition. 1t is now generally thought
that the bill slipped through the House last
week because OF lack of knowledge OF
the provisions of the measure and its con-
sequences. The history Of the matter
is briefly as follows: The railroad
bed between the cities of Newark
and Columbus was originally owned by
what was known as the Central Ohio Rail-
road Company. The road passed into the
hands of receiver, and ultimately became
the property of the b. & 0. and the Pan
Handle. Ii seems that over this particular
section the B. d Q. did one-tenth OF the
business and the Pennsylvania line the
other nine.tenths; yet, the expenses OF the
road were divided equally between them.
The Panhandle Folks,
finding that by reason OF increase Of busi-
ness their facilities should be increased,
proposed that double track be laid be-
tween the two points. The B. & o. was
willing to do this provided the expense
should lbe borne by each
party proportionateIy to the business
done over the line. To this the Panhandle
objected, and then proposed that the prop.
erty be partitioned and sold. The b. & o.
again demurred, and the matter was taken
into the courts, finally coming TO halt in
the Supreme Court, where il was decided
that il could not be done because there was
no precedent and no statutes covering the
case. The Bargar bill makes the
Partition and Sale
Of the property upon the application OF
one party interested with the other party
obiecting legal, and thus the difficulties OF
Iuuicial interference are bridged over. The
opposition did not realize the position fully
until the bill passed the House, but now
the B. Il 0. attorneys, freight, ticket and
passenger agents, independents and OH
cials OF high and low degree are swarming
our hotels and emphatically expressing
their disapprobation. Upon the merits OF
the case i have nothing to say, as II is
simply railroad fight carried into the leg
islature. The bill is expected to come up
in the Senate the latter part OF this week,
and il will be opposed with more determi'
nation than has met any measure this win
ter. Judge J. II. Collins, attorney for the
B. & o. at this point, leads the B. o.
forces, and Col. Bill o Brien tells the Solons
what the Pan Handle wants, while both go
about with their pockets filled with passes.

BALTIMORE, March % Perhaps the most

most enjoyable events of the season in the
way of ball" took place last night at
Bayyiew Asylum. At o'clock the large
dining room was cleared of the tables aud

inmates of the asylum marched into the
spacious room TO the strains of band of
music perched up in the far end of
The room, while seatel about were
the trustees and their families
and a number Of invited guests The
dancing soon began and was kept up until
nearly midnight, much to the amusement
of the spectators. The antics of the dancers
can be better imagined than described.
Some Of the women were dressed in fancy
costumes gorgeously decorated with colored
tissue paper, completely covering their
heads and bodies. and as they whirled and
jumped about the room, amid shrieks and
yells, they presented a decidedly fantastic
appearance, not wholly lacking in pictur-
esqueness. During the progress OF the
dance cakes we've served in abundance,
With plenty OF cool spring water, upon
which they feasted as happily IS though

TALKING ABOUT BALLS.
The Brokers Pass Their Opinions In
Presence of Gath"


sNEw YORK, March 2S.-The day Of the
big Vanderbilt party was sitting in the
brokers parlors of Mr.. Enos, right oppo
site, among group of men, watching the
flowers 20 up into the splendid mansion.
and we began to talk together TO the tol.
lowing effect: One gentleman spoke up,
saying: "Wm. K. Vanderbilt is one OF the
most modest men you ever saw. he lets
his wife do this, l suppose; but Lord bless
your soul, you will find him down at the
Union Club up to three O'Clock this after
noon, and perhaps to six, playing cards,
paying no more attention to this big
party than if 1t were to be al
another persons house. i have seen him
leave a dinner party at his house and
go down and play cards at the club when
there was to be a dance a. midnight on his
premises. You can sit in this office and
see him come out of that house day after
day, and he never turns his head to look at
it. 1t is the most magnificent house, eI,
teriorily at least, on this islano. Amid all
the Vanderbilt residences that one shows
the most of the architects skill and learn
ing on the outside. II it gives him any
self-esteem you never see him show it,
"Is his wife OF superior social quality 10
the other Vanderbilt"
"Oh, yes" said another person present,
"the Vanderbits have never made much
push into society. Society up here has q
GOOD many ranges. William KS wife is
about IN the third or fourth class from the
top now, but she is aiming further along

ca is married to Lord Vaudeville, or one OF
his family. That a accounts for the Mande-
yllles being around this house. the
English connection both stimulates and
assists Mrs. Vanderbilts social ambi-
tion."
The first person spoke up again, saying:
81 don't quite see how William X. stands
all that expense. My recollection is that
his grandfather left him 10000 shares OF
New York Central stock, or, in round mum.
bers, 100000 II he has put 81 900 900
into his house, he must have made good
deal of money in other quarters to stand
the expense of living there. l reckon that
his father has let him into good many
snaps. His father is worth 500 OO0, OOO."
There was great deal Of trouble over
the matter OF costumes. 1t is stated that
much dissatisfaction was noticeable as the
number OF guests increased, and costume
after costume was duplicated, not once, but
several times. Many were the lmpreca.
tiOns against treacherous modistes who had
permitted rival society ladies the privilege
OF inspecting each others toilets previous
to the ball. Some ladies absolutely refused
to take the dresses ordered, in consequence
of this breach OF trust on the part Of the
indiscreet dressmakers, and at the last mo.
ment secured less suitable habiliments
from the stores of the costumers. Several
suits will be brought, it is said, to recover
on costumes refused on this ground.
