and L. D. Richardson, president and commits
sioner respectively ofithe Chicago and Ohio river

Readings Loss on Jersey Central.

Theloss on the New Jersey Central shares
held by Vanderbilt for the Reading, and recent
ly thrown the market, will be a bitter pill to
take in addition to the real amount which the
Reading has gone behind its fixed charges. The
$4,000 shares of Jersey" cost an average of
$7S.4O per share and if sold at $50 would net a
lossof 1894 per share, or ST. ,OOO-which,
added to the deficiency which existed for the
first nine months of the year, So 489,0O7 would
make the company $4 659, OO7 behind its fixed
charges up to August 81 1884. Certainly the
concern is in an unpleasant snarl, and it will
need some fnancier of more than ordinary intel
ligence to extricate it from its labyrinth of debt
In the meantime, how are the bondholders to

GOV. CLEvELAND's APPEARANCE.

The pictures ofGRovER CLEVELAND do
not do him justice. They fail to convey
lust conception Of the frmness and energy
Of his character, which is so clearly delin-
lated in his features. They fail to show,
too that kindly twinkle of the eve that
"naks-yoursef at,h0me" expression Of his
race. which his visitor does not fail to OBJ
serve. While eminently digni6ed in ap-
pearance and demeanor he is as eminently
simple and cordial in manner and frank in
conversation. His pictures give the i'm
preston of his being fond of ease; his aP-
pearance marks him as a man devoted to
ajoriOus and painstaking work. All his
utterances show him to possess a great and
emineutly well balanced mind; his acts
stamp him as a man Of dauntless courage
and iron will He has the 5are faculty Of
making the plaiRest and least cultured citi-
zen feel at ease in conversation with him,
and he impresses al with his perfect sim
Cerity. At first glance Gov. CLEVELAND
would remind one familiar with the face Of
Judge JOHN BLAIR Hoes of that gentleman,
though he Is a somewhat stouter man and
not quite so tall.

PREFESRINe DEATH TO SHAME.

Two beautiful Girls to Hide the shame OF
the One Ind the Despair of the other
Hang rhemSelv~, in the Same Hour.
GADSDEN, ALA, August 1.-Two beauti
tul young girls named Lucy and Jennie
Jones, aged respectively II and l9 years,
Committed suicide here last night. For
several months past the elder has received
devoted attention from young man who
on last Saturday suddenly disappeared. The
girl became very respondent and some
great trouble seemed to weigh upon her
mind. She made con6dsnt of the younger
girl who also grew depressed and lOw-splrit-
ed. Yesterday morning when their parents
reached home they did not 6nd their dsugh-
tiers. A nasty search was made, and the
younger girl was found in an upper room
suspended by the neck from the center oil
the ceiling. She had twisted sheet into 3
rope, and had made = hangmsn's knot. her
body was stiff and cold in death The dis
tracted parents secured the premises and
vicinity for the elder, and far in the orchard
she was seen hanging by rope. Life had
been extinct fully an hour. The father
and mother are crazed BY the shock. 1t Is
rCmOred that the elder girl had been un-
wise in her affections and had revealed her
slE 10 her sister, and that the two IN their
cccP shame had ended their existence.

Republican managers were booming the af-
fair. Shortly before 8 o'clock re-
porter found the door Of the hall locked.
Joseph COult passed the hall and saw eight
men seated in the dark on chemical
boxes at the sides Of the building
gazing at the hall. Coult pulled
his SLOUGH hat down over his eyes and went
around the corner. Two men came along
and asked if anybody was upstairs. Just
then the hall doors were opened and Presi-
dent William kelcher and half q dozen
members Of the club went upstairs. AT the
organization OF the meeting ifty-three men
were present. Jimmy Sweeney remarked
that without speakers they were like ship

gentleman of Republican politician in the

Why, he left town a week ago last Satur-

Then we sent the State Fair Committee to

Association. The next morning we sent
the Young Men Christian Association folks
round for subscription for their new $50, 900

and it did. He left town Immediately and
went back to Washington without a single
ordinary civility having been paid him, not
withstanding his appointment to one OF the
three highest diplomatic positions in ;the
governmental service, 1t is probably. the
first time that such snub was ever given

REMARKABLE CHARGES.

The singular Reasons Given by San
Francisco Banker for His suit for Libel
Ono of the Most Curious stories on
Record.
SAN FRASCIsCO, August 1.-The Hill
Sharon trial promises to come to an end in
about two weeks, but numerous difficulties
have sprung from it that are Likely to keep
the courts busy for many months. Papers
are being prepared BY Thomas Bell for
criminal action against the Argus and
James A. johnson and Walter Turnbull,
publishers of the Alta and also damage
suit for $4,000 against each of the latter.
The offense charged is the publication Of an
atrocious and highly improbable story last
Thursday in relations to Bells wife, the sub
stance OF which is briefly as follows:
Thomas Bell is capitalist, one ofthe
directors of the California Bank, and about
70 wears old. He married about twelve
/ wears ago a woman scarcely half his age.
Thomas Bell desired progeny, and agreed
te set aside sum, conceded to be $50, 900,
for each heir born, and soon merry childish
laughter rang through the Bell mansion,
until after scarcely twelve years of married
life seven fine children bear the name OF the
millionaire. Bell and Sharon were friends,
and the latter, well versed in the ways of
the world, finally ventured to whisper to the
friend that the heirs were not bona tide.
Bell rejected the suggestion, and GOODNESS
sprang up between them.
The Alta also alleges that Housekeeper
Nanny Plaisance in Bellss house came to
the aid of Mrs Bell, with the Founding
Hospital as her bscker. Shsrons ex-
pressed doubts made Mrs Bell and Nanny
Plaisance his sworn enemies, and the latter
figured considerably as a friend IN Sarah
Althea Hills suit against Sharon. :,
The paper goes on to tell Of the arrival
in the Ben household of twins-a boy and
girl-last year, to one Of which 1t says an
other woman lays claim. In an interview
with the colored nurse she is alleged to have
said that no two of the seven children re-
semble each other and that they have red,
black, brown and blonde hair, all kinds OF
eyes, some resembling the Irish. some the
Germans, and some being French in sp-
pesrance.
The Alta concludes: Another evidence
is that there is law requiring all physicians
TO file records of birth, and search OF the
records fails to disclose single entry Of
birth in the Bell family"

The Greedy Relief Squadron Reaches
Portsmouth.
FLAGS AND BANNERS EVERYWHERE.
Mrs. Greedy Meets Her Husband, From
Whom She Has Been so Long
and Painfully Separated. .

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., August l.-At an
early hour this morning the ships in the
harbor became aware of the arrival of the
Greely Arctic Expedition. The armament
of the Alliance was brought into play and
gun after gun thundered forth peals of well
come, to which the cannon of the Greely
boats responded, doubtless in grateful re-
cognition. Shortly the Alliance came
within hailing distance Of the approach
ing steamers and with bells ringing
and whistles screeching, the Alliance
hailed the Bear and Thetis. Shortly
after sunrise the Bear, Thetis and Alliance
steamed to point off the Isle of Shoals
where the first stage Of the homeward voy-
age of the Greedy relief expedition was fin
ished. Gracefully they came into the har-
Dor with yards squared and stacks pouring
forth clouds of smoke fully twenry-four
hours before the feet had been expect
ed. There was little about the three vessels
to denote the severe experience
which two of them had pass
ed through. When it became known
the Arctic squadron had arrived outside the
harbor the excitement on board the men
oEwar at anchor was intense. Shortly
after o'clock the welcome news ofthe ar
rival of the Greely feet spread through the
CITY, When the Bear and Thetis had ar
rived off New Castle, Secretary Chandler
dispatched his steam launch to Commander
Schley with orders that the
Bear and Thetis
should remain in olfing until preparations
for their reception could be completed
The Secretary Of the Navy then proceeded
to the Tallapoosa and orders were given at
once for the entire squadron Of war vessels
in the harbor to prepare for the reception
of the Artic heroes All naval vessels were
decorated with American flags at the top
masts At noon the press boat The Gov
ernment Of Leyden" steamed down the
river and came to anchor where
a good view Of the ceremonies
might be obtained. AS the Leyden steamed
down the river men on board the old ship
Constitution ran up into the shrouds, lifted
their hats and waved and shouted a cordial
salute. Other vessels in the lower harbor
we're decked in the gayest colors. The
flagship Tennessee displayed the acting
Admirars pennant at the mizzen mast.
The Tallapoosa gave to the breeze the col
ors of the Secretary Of the Navy. The
ships soon got under way and steamed down
the river. At noon preparations for the
reception of the Arctic feet were completed.
