Central Pacific Trou bles.

NEw YORK, June 30.-The stories COLI
corning Huntington and Central Pacific
affairs, which have been on the streets the
past fortnight, have made an undoubted i'm
preston on the market, and are circulated
to-day in connection with kilograms from
San Francisco In the Tribune and other pa
pers, alleging he had called ON Charles
Crocker for assistance, who also was driven
nearly TO bis wits end. But on the Esd inst.
Crocker's private secretary, Greer, was in
structed to telegraph Huntington that three
and half millions In Southern Pacific bonds
were forwarded that day. 1t is also stated
as another alleged fact, showing the crisis In
Central Pacific affairs, that Mrs. Colton's
lawyers would tomorrow apply for q re-
ceiver, 1t being her belief that the company
are about selling out all the Southern Pacific
stocks and bonds in litigation.
SAN Francisco, July 1.-Charlss Crocker
filed an affidavit to-day in answer to Mrs.
Coltons application on her suit now being
tried at Santa Rosa against Stanford, Crocker
and Huntington, asking that custodian be
appointed to receive and hold the several
bonds and other securities involved In the
suit now In possession Of the defendants.
Crocker, In answer, characterizes Mrs. Col
toms allegations As without foundation, and
asserts that all the defendants are each pos
sessed Of real estate and other property far
exceeding the amount involved and claimed
by the plaintiff. The discussion Is over, and
the answer will probably occupy several
days.

Presiden tiaI. Appointments

WASHINGTON, June 80. The White
House has been overrun for the past two
weeks with applicants for Office, and Senators
and Representatives have kept the President
busy In listening to friendly opportunities.
large number of nominations will be sent
to the Senate during the week. There are
several important Offices to be filed In the
Territories, among them Chief Justices of
Utah, Idaho and Wyoming; Surveyor Gen.
eral for New Mexico. and other positions of
less Importance. There are quite . number
of vacant postmsstersh!ps and positions In
the Internal Revenue and Customs service.
The Berlin mission will not be filed for
some time to come, and certainly no. before
the adjournment of Congress. 1t Is probs-
bly,, however, that the vacant Russian mis-
sion will be filed next week. There does
lot seem to have been any particular pres
sure brought to bear upon the Pl esident for
this office, and 1t is likely that it may be
filed by the promotion of some person now
holding q second.class mission. It Is OBJ.
served that the President, in filling the Ter
ritorial office has not been influenced by that
plank In the Republican platform which de-
clared in favor Of the selection of persons
living in the Territories to fll these places.

challenge to match Jay -Eye-Sse against
Maud s: 81 have heard Of the challenge said
to be signed by the owner Of Jay -Eye-See.
Why he or anybody else should have the
impudence to allude to me or my marc as
= challenged party, knowing, IS everybody
knows, that I have invariably refused to al.
low her to be trstted In race or match, Is
past my comprehension. I keep Maud for
my own amusem ent, and am we'll satisfied
In my own mind that she Is the fastest piece
Of trotting horsefesh in the world. If she Is
not the fastest, she is at least the hand
soonest and most perfect. When any one
else gets and drives on the road finer. look.
Ing animal, independent of speed, I will
probably dispose Of Maud s. Ihave said on
previous occasions, that there are some
horses, which, If they could trot mile In q
minute, would not have as gift for my
private use. I think Maud s. Is perfection
In everything she undertaken"

Death of Allan Pinkerton,

CHICAGO, July 1.-Ailan Pinkerton, the
famous detective, died at $40 this afternoon.
He has been gradually sinking from the
effects Of malarial fever contracted some
weeks ago while on a visit south. The
physicians virtually abandoned hope late
last night. The deceased was unconscious
when hs expired. He was born In 1919 in
Glasgow, Scotland, where his father was ser.
gsant Of police. He was apprenticed to q
cooper, and at % years Of age attained pio :
inence In the Chartist agitation, In connec.
ton with which forced him to leave Great
Britain. At Dundee, ILL.,, Pinkerton estab.
lished paying cooperage business, and later
incidentally engaged in amateur detective
work. Success At the latter decided his fu-
ture career Of the establishment of the Pink.
erton Detective Agency. His active assist
ance to the Abolition movement, and the
prominent part he took In the secret service
during Lincoln's administration, as we'll as
his hsirbreadth escapes aud wohderful sagac-
ity, are household words In the matters of
history.

THE HORSE THIEF BUSINESS.
Montana Getting an Unpleasant Reputation.

HELENA, Mont, June 2S.-Thursday night
Ed. Owens and 81 Nickerson stole eight
horses from the Benton and Billings stage
company's Rock Springs station, hundred
miles northeast Of Helena. John Davis, the
superintendent Of the stage line, parsued
them Gown the Musselshell river. When
fifty miles below the station he was told by
the cowboys that the thieves had passed with
the horses three hours before. Fifteen cow
boys volunteered to follow the trail. The
thieves were overtaksn Friday, 80 miles
north Of Blacks ranch, aud attacked. The
cowboys were driven back, being armed only
with revolver's while the thieves had rifles.
Men were sent to camp for guns aud the
fight was renewed. 81 Nickersen was shot
dead, and Ed. Owens was wounded, captured
and hanged. VIM. Jones and Tim Devlin,
cowboys, were wounded.
Thursday, three men, names unknown,
stole seven horses forty miles southeast Of
Helena from the Boulder Valley ranch while
the owners were absent on round up. Tho
theft was . bold one, committed In broad
daylight, and witnessed by several. The
horses we're driven up into the mountains,
where the thieves csmped for the night. The
men on the round up were notified BY .
messenger. They armed and followed,
coming up to the camp at one o'clock Friday
morning. The thieves were ordered 10 throw
up their hands but refused, and after firing
at the ranchmen fed into the thicket, one
being badly wounded by the return vellsy.
ALI escaped. None Of the ranchmen wers
hurt and the stock was all recovered. There
is moro horse stealing now in Montana than
ever before.

that the s12,5oo,o 900 earned by the Northern
Pacific Company for the year ending June

etc., President Harris, Of the Northern Pa.
cidc Railroad, said to reporter Of the Ecen

have assumed that the working expenses
were 90 instead Of 90 per cent. As . matter
OF fact, he said, the working expenses are not

pany would have handsome surplus after
the paying Of the rentals and all fixed

asking the full benefit of the superior juds-

my good fortune to have known him init
mately for over thirty years. l have watched
his career during that time with unusual in
terest. and 1 have never known any one to
be actuated by purer motives or governed by
a higher standard of morals. HIS lofty pat
riotism and splendid abilities are recognized
aud acknowledged everywhere. He is al

These virtues and accomplishments account
for his wonderful magnetism and for his
nearness to the American heart. The
speaker said the Democratic party must be
held TO its record of free trade and tariff for
revenue only. After alluding to Logan's
splendid record, he said In conclusion:
With such candidates and such principles as

as surely as the sun will bless us with its
light.
