The Payment of sl5O,OOO for a Lease.


CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 22.--Tne payment Of
s15o,O00 to Gov. Hoadly's law firm for pro-
curing the lease of the Southern road from
the trustees continues prominent subject of
conversation In business circles. All the
trustees have in interviews with newspapers
denied that they received cent in bribery.
To-day an interview in the Evening Post says !:
"Wheu Wolfe was here shutting the cards
for his game TO secure the Southern his
shadows of Edgar NJ. johnson were Wilson
for the Gazette, Mccormick for the Enquirer
aud Shaughnessy for the Commercial
"Did those papers get any Of the $3.50, 000l'
'Of course they did. | have 1t from the lips
of Wilson himself that he got $1,000. He
was out of humor With Deacon Smith
at the time he told II, and said Smith de-
mauded portion of the money as editor in
chief. If the Gazette railroad columns were
CREASED with $1,000 through Wilson alone,
how much did the grease for the whole con-
Germ costa Read the articles OF both the
Commercial and Enquirer and then tell me II
oil they received didn't probably foot up to
as much for each as that Of the Gdzette.''
The Post telegraphed Mr.. Wilson at Wa
bash, Ind, for what he knew about that
$3.50. QUO and for the true inwardness Of the
Southern lease. He replied:

me If decline to talk"

A DECIDED SUCCESS.
Notwithstanding the Many Reports to
the Contrary the Worlds Fair
Declared an Unparal-
leled Success.
A Description Of the Vast and Beautiful
Grounds Upon Which the Exposition
Is Held, Together With
Other Data.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 22.-Commissione
Burke in an address to-day said there was
no longer any fear of the exposition proving
failure as some of the exhibitors had ap-
pretended. Col. Mcclure, Of Philadelphia,
also made an address, and expressed the
same views. He said he had made a careful
investigation into the affairs of the exposi-
ton, and had come to the conclusion
as above, and that 1t would
prove an unparalleled success.
The association met and adopted
circular, which was printed and several
thousand copies sent out through the coun-
try. After showing all reports contrary to
the above declaration to be false, and show
ing the growth of the exposition, the circular
gives the following description of the
grounds:
There is park of $50 acres, clothed with
verdure and adorned with semi-tropical
plants and orange trees. The double row
OF grand old oaks is the admiration of every
visitor Fifty acres of roof cover the vari-
GUS structures. Interspersed through this
area is double row of stable buildings 2,400
feet long, which contain the most
extensive herds of live stock gathered
together on this continent. From the gal
leries Of the main and public buildings the
eye wanders over millions of dollars worth of
exhibits, such as have rarely been equaled at
any worlds exposition. The grounds are
reached by means Of five lines of street cars
as well as by steamers which land their pas
sengers at all hours at the river front Of the
exposition grounds. In addition to the nu-
merCus hotels of the city, others have been
erected near the grounds, and by addressing
Mr.. B. L. Walsh, at the bureau of accommo-
dation, 1854 Gravier street, rooms in
the private houses can be provided for
those who may desire a more quiet home
during their stay. Nearly all the exhibits
are in position, and the opportunity of life
time is now offered the scientist and citizen,
and all interested in the material progress OF
the age, and we most heartily and cordially
invite you 10 visit this colossal exposition and
inspect for yourself its beauty and magnif-
cence, rs seen in its many works of art, its
agricultural, mechanical, mineral and hor-
ucultural display. and its government, state
and foreign exhibits.

In the committee to-day by Representative
Bayne that the work should be let to the low
est bidder was defeated. The secretary of
war has refused to request that Lieut.. Fred
erick Schwatka be allowed To withdraw his
resignation, which had been accepted to take
place on the 31st inst. at the expiration of a
year's leave Of absence granted him when he
resigned.
The treasury department to-day purchased
$4,000 ounces of silver for delivery at the
New Orleans and Philadelphia mints.
A proposition, favorably reported by the
senate, will be offered as an amendment to
the consular and diplomatic appropriation
bill, directing the payment of 81, 315 TO the
widow of VIM. H. Hunt, late minister to
Russia, at one-fourth of his years salary.
The senate committee on naval affairs has
agreed to recommend the passage of Senator
Mitchelrs bill, requiring the exclusive use Of

Mysterious Lard Factory Explosion.

Sioux CRY, Ia, Jan. 22.-The coroner's
inquest was held to-day over the victims of
the explosion Of the lard tank in Booge's
factory, has brought In 4 verdict exonerating
the company Of all blame. 1t appeared on
ia yestigation that there could not have been
above forty pounds OF steam on in the tanks,
while they had been tested for eighty. The
origin Of tue explosion Is still a mystery, as
the tank being blown TO such small frag-
ments can give no indication. Whether the
explosion was caused by the steam or By the
lard igniting is question which bothers in
yeslgation. An opinion is expressed by
some that sort Of gas may have formed
from the frying hogs aud then exploded.
French, one Of the men killed, had charge
of the lard tanks at night, and had not gone
of duty at the time Of the explosion. His
death resulted from inhaling steam and
from severe burns aud scalds. John Farre Il
appears to have been killed by falling tim
bers, as there are no signs of scald about
him. Kelar was both crushed and scalJed.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-There was rather
more activity in the stock market to-day
than yesterday, although the situation still
continues dull. The opening was weak al
around. New York Central fell off X,
Northwestern IS, St. Paul g and Lake Shore
g. This weakness was followed later by
slight advance, which was main tanned to the
close. Contrary to expectation, Western
Union was the strongest in the list and was
well supported By the grangcrs, which came
prominently to the fore about midday. 1t Is
a matter of surprise TO many that stocks
should hold their own so firmly in the face
of the present railroad war, but the explana-
ton is to be found in Jay Gould. Just at
present he is helped along somewhat by the
large short interest out. The present pro-
gramme, as far as it can be aseertained
from external in dications, is to force shorts
into cover, put up prices with a whOop, sell
out near the top, and gracefully retire With
the profits. 1t remains to be seen whether
the scheme can be worked. President
Mitchell, Of the st. Paul, has gone west. The
next dividend on that stock has not vet been
agreed upon, but It is already conceded that
it will not be 81 per cent semi-annually as
heretofore and it may be passed altogether.
In Philadelphia the agents Of the Pen nnsyl-
vauia road are offering to take westbound
freight &c per 100 pounds less than other
Enes The policy Of Lackawanna now is to
fight for its share OF the freight and coal
business, and make special rates with ship
pers. The New York Central will probably
meet the cut on emigraut rates made By the
Pennsylvania and West Shore, as It Is the
policy Of the Central TO follow the
West Shore in any rate It might make. The
officials Of the latter road are now IN consul
tatlon as TO what action they should take to
meet reductions made by other competing
lines aud altogether the stu .tion is Que of
great comp mplication and vexation 10 general
managers and serious loss - stock holders.
The emigrant sale from Ham burg to Chi
cago has been cut to SO, which is 81 cheaper
than yesterdays figures. There are many
believers In better state of things later on,
though the outlook for rather uniDterest-
ing market for the next thirty days is rather
encouraging Just now The final dealings
developed no new feature. The market
dragged its slow length along and closed

TIle KILLING Of Capt. Nicholas
Collins.

Last Christmas day a difficulty
occurred in the store of Minis a.
Thomas, on Ryan street, in which
Nicholas Collins, Captain Of the
schooner Garnet, owned by Messrs.
SydbeTy d Co., Of Galveston, Texas,
received wounds inflicted with wine
bottle in the hands of Mr.. Thomas, q
member Of the firm, from which be died
last Sunday morning. Our usual efforts
to get at the bottom facts Of this sad
affair have been uuaYailing, at least
such as was FURNISHED the inquest
jury, and the jury's verdict There
fore we can only give such ipforma-
ton as is furnished outside of ''Star
Chamber" proceedings, which amounts
to simply this; Five sailors, all cou-
sidersbly under the influence Of whis-
Ky, entered the side room Of Minis a.
Thomas store, and made a serious az
sault on Mr.. Thomas, who was in the
room, knocked bin down and choked
him. Mr.. Thomas succeeding in re-
leasing himself, seized q bottle filled
with wine and Of course defended
himself, expelling the crowd from the
house with the above result.
