According to the Philadelphia Press
there is an organization in Fayette and
Westmoreland counties, Penn, called the
Lynx" the members Of which are handy
with the self-cocking revolver, engage in
riots in the streets Of the towns. and have
their fun in robblng unofending school
teachers and clerks. AS Pennsylvania
happens to be north Of MASON & DIE0N's

WashinGton special TO the Sun SAYS
Mr.. Jobn w. Garrett, president OF the Bal
timore and ohio Railroad Company, to-day
anncared before the subcommittee of the
senate District committee, which has under
Confederation the bill reported by Senstor
Inoalls at the last session Of Congress, "to
define the routes OF steam railroads In the
city OF washington" Mr.. Garrett in
formed the committee that he had
consulted the managers OF the rail-
roads that terminate at Alexandra,
Va. and they are willing to assist
the Baltimore and Ohio in making through
connections South. Mr.. Garrett proposes
to tunnel under Capitol Hill and proceed
across the Potomac river upon the same
bridge used by the Pennsylvania railroad.
THE committee were favorably impressed
with MIR. CARROTS statements concerning
the railroad facilities OF the capital Of the
nation. He claimed that Washington
should have the most direct conncc-
lions with all parts Of the United
states and by means OF ~ many lines
~ possible. He maintained that the
Baltimore and Ohio road was entitled
10 the same privileges as are granted to the
Pennsylvania railroad. Their Opporiuni-
ties and facilities In Washington should be
equal. lie said the Baltimore and Ohio
did not ask anything that was refused Il
rival company. and if 1t could be shown
that the Baltimore and Ohio enjoyed more
privileges than it is entitled TO, it would
chcprfully surrender all such as are con-
sjdered unjust. The subcommittee will
further examine the subject and make
their report to the full committee at IN
early day.
A New York special to the american
SAYS: The directors OF the Richmond aud
Danyille road have done nothing yet IN
the offer OF financial aid made by Balti-
more CITY. To-day director Of this road
said that the proposal did not contemplate
any contract whatever with the Baltimore
and Ohio. There were really no conditions
TO the loan beyond the security asked OF
two millions in Virginia Midland bonds.

she wanted m interest in the southern sys-
