THE ROSE MURDER CASE.
THE MISSOURI PACIFIC.
The Lines to be Separated and Operate
TndeDendent of the Gould Svstern

The Lines to be Separated and Operated
Independent of the Gould system.
ST. LOUIS, June 2s.-The announce
ment is now made that on July all the
heads of departments of the Missouri Pa
cific Railroad whose jurisdiction has been
extended over the Wabash, will retire
from that road and the lines comprised in
that system will be operated independent
of the Gould system proper, and, under
the new set of officers. the road
in future will be operated by
a much smaller force than now.
The offices of the Wabash will be sepa-
rated from those of the Missouri Pacific,
both here and elsewhere, and all the
agents of the former road will
be instructed to compete with
the latter, the same as with any other
road. The Wabash Railroad Company
dictate OF capitalists not yet named, by
which the latter will take off the hands of
the former the Quincy, Missouri and Pa
cific Railroad extending from Quincy,
ILL.,, to Benton, Mo-, with all attaching
obligations. The object of the syndicate
is said to be to operate the road
from Quincy to st. Joseph, Mo.
in opposition to the Hannibal and st. Jo-
seph Railroad. To do this they will con-
struct the new road from st. Joseph to a
near point on the Rock Island and Pa
cific, and use the track of the latter
to Trenton; running thence over their
own line to Quincy. This route will be
only seven miles longer than the Hanni-
bal and st. Joseph road, and is to be COM
pleted inside of a year. OF the interest
designated in the petition of the receivers
OF the Wabash Railway, presented in the
United States Court yesterday, S544, ,220
was defaulted June 1, ana the remainder
falls due in various sums on the first of
each month from July to December.

COLUMBUS, o., June 2S.-Judge Wyle,
in the Common Pleas Court, this morning
rendered decision in the case of the
State against Fred. II. Carroll, catcher Of
the Columbus Base Ball Club, on an ap-
plication for writ Of habeas corpus. A
number of the players of the Columbus
and Brooklyn clubs were arrested last
Sunday for violating the State law against
playing on Sunday. The Judge held that
the phrase ''breach Of the peace" in the
statutes includes all offenses, and that
arrests on Sunday are legal. He therefore
refused the writ and remanded the pris-
oner to the custody of a constable. The
President of the base ball club says this
is a deathbl0w to the game IN COlum-

Sunday games. Manager Schmetz states
that q gamo is scheduled with the Metro

decision. AS a retaliatory measure, the
Columbus management say cases against
the Consolidated Road running its cars on
Sunday will be prosecuted under the
same law, and intimates that warrant
will be sworn out tomorrow against the
State Journal Company to stop its issue

MORGAN SONS FAILURE.
Some Historical Facts Respecting the
Firm

Some Historical Facts Respecting the
Firm.
A New York special of June "a says the
failure of NJ. Morgan Sons is attributed to
shrinkage in values of stocks and bonds,
especially in Denver and st. Paul. The
present firm is composed of Henry and
Edward Morgan, the latter being at pres
ent on his way home from Europe.
Matthew Morgan, their father, estab-
lished the firm about half a century ago.
He was formerly a shipping merchant,
and by him a large foreign exchange busi-
ness, especially with Partisan houses,
was rapidly built up. In this way large
connections were also made with Southern
cotton firms, and their connection with
the New Orleans business was probably
closer than that of any other New York
firm. They were also agents for the New
Orleans Canal and Banking Company.
The New York, Providence and Boston
Railway Company made them transfer
agents here, but it is thought the suspen-
sion win have little effect 0n this corpora
tion.
When Matthew Morgan died few
| years ago the firm was supposed to be
worth S3,000,000. They owned much real
estate, including interests in the New
| York Hotel property on Broadway. The
! social connections of the Morgans were
also very high, daughter Of Edward
Morgan having married August Belmont,
| Jr., brother of Representative Perry
| Belmont.
The sons, however, failed to keep up
| their fathers business, and are known to
| have been prominent handlers Of certain
stocks and bonds whose presence on the
list has attracted public attention only by
persistent attacks of paralysis during the
past year.

The Supposed Fate of West Virginia
Bride of but Three Months.
One of those CHASTITY stories Of inter-
ment before life has become extinct, which
cause an involuntary shudder of horror to
pass through the reader, says Wheeling,
w. Va, special of the 22d inst, to the
Philadelphia Press, is current in this city
tonight. The victim, so the story goes,
is a young married lady of 30 years. In
May, of last year. three months after her
marriage, the lady was taken violently
i'll, and after lingering for ten days, APP
parently died. There were certain pecu-
liarities about the appearance of the sup
posed corpse, however, which caused a
suspicion in the mind of the attending ply
sician that his patient might be in a
trance; but after keeping the
body for four days with no
signs of returning life, the re-
mains were consigned to the grave, tenn
porary interment being made in the family
lot in an abandoned graveyard. A day or
two ago the body was disinterred prior to
removal to another cemetery. To the sur
prise of the sexton the coffin lid showed
signs of displacement, and on its being
removed the graYe-digger was Mortified to
find the remains turned face downward,
the hands filed with long tufts of hair
torn from the head, and the face. neck and
bosom deeply scratched and SCARED,
while the lining of the coffin had been torn

the entombed victim to escape from her
terrible fate. Since the discovery the

Bonds Put Up as Margins HypOtheea-
ted by the Firm.
NEW YORK, June e2s.-Referee Hamilton
Cole continued the taking of testimony
to-day in the suit brought by Almon Good
WIN against Grant & Ward. From the
testimony of Mr.. Goodwin, and Mr.. Spen-
Ger, bookkeeper of the firm of
Grant & Ward, it appeared that
in October, 1882, Goodwin directed
the firm to purchase for his
account 800 shares of Western Union and
800 shares of American Gable stock,
which they represented that they had
bought. Goodwin gave them as margin
$50 shares of other cable stock owne d
by him. A few months later he ordered
them to buy some Texas and Colorado
Improvement Company's certificates,
which they delivered to him, and he depOs-
tied 100 additional shares of cable stock as
a margin. The firm subsequently called ON
him for more margins, and he gave Belt
Line Railroad bonds, and then
Texas Improvement Company certificates.
Spencer testified that the firm never
bought Western Union or cable stocks,
but it was entered in the books as pur-
chased. The firm hypothecated all stock
deposited with them by Goodwin as mar
gin, and this Goodwin seeks to recover,
claiming fraud. Ward puts him in the
position of simple depOsitOr and not as
a principal in the stock transaction.
