Railroads Sold in 1884.

CHICAGO, January THE Railway
Age, tomorrow will say: The record OF
railway foreclosure sales in the United
States during 1884 shows that the harvest
OF bankruptcy sown during the
disastrous times, ten years ago, has now
been nearly gathered. The number of
roads thus sold in 1884, as well as their
mileage, and the amount of capital re-
presented were all much less than any
previous year since 1876. Such sales
last year were nearly all of little i'm
portance, there being only one of
the roads involved, having a mileage of
over seventy-one miles. The total num-
Der of railways sold under foreclosure
in 1884 was eighty-one. The total
stock and debt amounted to S23,-
$4,000, not including accrued interest
or floating indebtedness. The average
yearly mileage subjected to foreclosure
sales from 1876 to 1884, inclusive, was
1888 and a corresponding yearly aver
age, with total stock and
debt OF 1855, $40, 667. The encourage
ment, however, derived from a de-
crease in foreclosures is offset by
the past years record of receiverships.
The latter gives evidense that the seed
has been sown for a new and luXuriant
crop, which will, ere long, begin to be
harvested in the form OF foreclosure
sales. During the past twelve months
thirty-seven railways, having mileage
of 11,000 miles, with a bonded debt OF
$407 600, 900, not including other debts
and past due interest, and an apparent
capital stock investment of over $307,-
100000, have failed and have
been taken possession of by
the Courts for the benefit of creditors
These figures represent nearly 9 pei
cent. OF the entire present railway
mileage of the United States, nearly l:
per cent. of the total bonded debt, anG
nearly 9per cent. of the whole capita
stock

LOUISVILLE, January IA Courier
Journals Mt. Vernon. KY, special says;
There is serious trouble in this county
between whisky dealers and officials.
Tonight, at Livingston, railroad sta
ton on the Rock Castle river, junction
of the Kentucky Central railroad with
the Knoxville branch, Deputy Sheriff
James White went to arrest James and
Henry Burton, brothers, charged with
aiding J. w. Golf, said to have been
engaged in illegal whisky traffic, to es-
cape from the officers who had him
under arrest last week. The Burtons
barricaded their saloon doors and with
friends on the inside defed the arrest.
A posse of fifteen men was summoned
and the Burtons surrendered. On the
way to jail James tried to escape and
was fred upon and killed by the posse.
Burton's friends, some ten in number,
then attacked the posse. and the firing
became general and continued for two
hours The particulars are meagre. but
several men are reported killed and
wounded, among them Judge Bullock,
wounded in the arm. The Excitement
is intense.

Earthquakes.

LONDON, January IA slight earth
quake shock was felt to-day at Geneva.
Several shocks were felt the past few
days in the Canton of Grisons, Switzer-
land, and the Department OF Haute
Savoie, France.
MADRID, January S.-Another sharp
shock of earthquake was felt in the
south at daybreak this morning. Its
greatest force was experienced at Lola,
where 300 houses were damaged
and several persons injured. Most of
the inhabitants had left or were sleep
ing in tents. King Alfonso starts to-
day for the scenes of the disaster. Three
hundred thousand dollars has already
been subscribed. King Alfonso will
take with him 100000, which he will, in
person, distribute for the relief of the
sufferers.
PARIS, January THE proposed fetes
for the relief of earthquake sufferers in
Spain do not meet with public approval.
1t is thought the funds so obtained
should be applied to the relief of dis
treSs in France

Coal Miners, Convention.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, January THE
State convention OF coal miners, to-day,
had delegates representing 5000 miners.
The call of the convention states moth
ing specifically concerning the Hooking
Valley strike, but limited part of the
delegates are in favor of the reduction
of the mining rate from 20 to 60 cents,
which would be in the nature of COM
promise with the operators, who refuse
to pay over so cents. The ma
jority of the convention, however,
are opposed to this, SO it is said by
some, and that nothing will be done in
the matter. To-day was spent in per-
fecting the organization. The conven-
ton went into executive session this
afternoon, but did nothing aside from
listening to the remarks of President
Mcbride, who urged the convention to
advise members to stand firm, as the
trades unions in all parts Of the country
had promised aid.

Prospective B1oodshed

FOREST Cry, Dakota, January T.
An armed mob from Gettysburg
and vicinity came to Forest City this
morning, and, under charge of C. w.
Gilchrist, Jim Brison and Doty, took
possession of the public records, safe,
and $50 forth, by tearing out the part
of the building IN which they were kept,
and removing them by force. At this
writing the sheriff has started in pursuit,
at the head of an armed force, and the
probabilities are that fight will ensue.
Citizens are coming from all directions,
and are loud in their denunciations of
the action of the Gettysburg people,
and if the records are not returned by
tomorrow, the county will be scene
of bloodshed and riot. A great major
ity of the people desire the county seat
matter settled by the court and will
abide its decision cheerfully. The
probabilities are that 100 men, armed to
the teeth, will make a raid on Gettys-
burg tonight and demand the records.

When honest men came to the legisla-
ture, the contract which had been OBJ
tanned by fraud and corruption had been
broken.
Hewitt, New York, in a speech in op-
position to the bill, said he found the
gentleman from Texas making the only
defense he had ever heard made for the
reconstruction of the Legislatures of
the southern States He had told the
House that the reconstruction of the
Legislature of Texas had secured the
construction of g great highway, but
that this was such an outrage that when
honest men came into power the disre-
garded the bargain. All he (Hewitt)
could say was that these scalawags
builded wiser than they knew; and that
the honest men who come in afterwards
did not seem to understand the legisla-
ton as well as the scalawags
did. As to the bill under con-
sideration, he for one was tired
of this kind legislation and this indif-
ference to the plainest facts which
ought to be known to every man, and
even to the gentleman from Texas.
Reagan inquired whether the gentle
man pretended to speak the voice of
New York. The voice of New York
was better expressed by its Legislature,
which demanded legislation on the sub
ject.
Hewitt-For a commission. 1 favor
a commission.
Reagan have no doubt the gentle
man would take commission that
would not do anything, and would not
be expected to do anything. If the
voice of the people of New York could
be heard here instead of the voice of
aggregated capital, very different
voice would be heard.
Then passage at arms took place be-
tween Keller and Reagan, the former
denying the statement made by the lat
ter, to the effect that the committee on
commerce of the Forty-seventh Con-
gress was packed against the bill, and
the latter reiterating his statement.
On motion of Hopkins, the amend
ment was adopted giving the United
States courts power to issue writs of man.
damus compelling railroad companies
to forward freight.
Hammond offered an amendment,
providing that no case brought under
this act, in any State court of compe-
tent Jurisdiction, shall be removed to
any United Stases court.
Perkins offered as an amendment all
the sections of the bill originally re-
ported from the committee on COM
merce, creating the interstate COM
merce committee and defining its duties.
Hammond moved to amend by pro-
viding that the commissioners shall not
be appointed until the 9Th of March,
1885.
Pending action the matter went over.
Gibson offered a resolution declaring
it the duty of this Congress to enact
such laws, and make such appropria-
lions as will enable government to COM
mence at once the construction of a
navy suitable for both offensive and de-
fensiye purposes in time OF war. Re
ferred.
On motion of Cox, New York, a reso-
luton was adopted, calling upon the
Secretary of the Navy for information in
regard to the cause of the death of the
| Naval Cadet Frederick S. Strang, OF
Oregon, who, it is alleged, died in con-
sequence of cruelties inflicted by senior
cadets.

candidate in the caucus. He was the
choice of the anti-Hill forces, who
claim, however, that the Senatorial
line is partially eliminated from the
speakership contest, and that the vote
for the successful candidate for clerk
who was an anti Hill man, more nearly
