Legal Steps to Lay Open the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroads Affairs.
BALTIMORE. Jan. 30.-This afternoon
papers were served on the officials of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company at
the instance Of VIM. 0. Ross, of Orange,
\. j., shareholder in that corporation,
for the purpose of discovering the relation
that exists between the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company and the Balti-
more and Ohio Telegraph Company, the
amount of money which has been expend-
ed on the latter, the authority for the
same, and TO inquire what losses or profits
have been incurred or realized by the
railroad company or its officers. The
plaintiff, on behalf of himself and as
many others as will join him, takes these
proceedings in the United States Circuit
Court The bill of complaint is very am
pie, and sets forth in full detail the
powers possessed by the railroad cOmpa-
ny, which the plaintiff AYERS do not in
clude power to advance large sums to
outside corporations, such as the Balti-
more and Ohio Telegraph Company. In
order to reveal what the real facts of the
case are, series of forty or fifty ques-
tions are prOpOunded for the railroad
officials to answer

THE ROOT OF THE TROUBLE.

The complainant states that a very
large amount of the railroads money
must have been expended in the Balti-
more and Ohio telegraph system, as the
capital stock of the telegraph company is
only $4,000, as shown by the papers of
record, while the figures in the annual
report of the railroad company, for the
construction, operating expenses and
deficiencies of the telegraph system foot
up nearly $4,OOO,OOO. He believes that
S3,0O0,000 must have been advanced
by the railroad company. Hon.
f. p. Stephens. one Of the
attorneys for the plaintiff, is receiver ;of
the Bankers and Merchants Telegraph
Company. In an interview he stated
that it is an impOssibility for any new
competitor to succeed against a telegraph
company whose deficiencies, extensions
and expenses are paid out of funds
furnished by great railroad company,
the revenues of which are vast in amount
and at the disposal of officers interested
in the telegraph undertaking. The day
for the hearing has not yet been ap-
pointed.

Is IT JUST?

A few papers in this State insist
that Pat Ford and John Murphy
should hang, because the jury that
tried them have said they must
hang. These papers advise the
Governor not to interpose, as Gus
tice must be DONE" One writer on
this question takes the position
that a Communication of sentence in
the interest of these two men would
be like excusing one out of two,
three or more murderers, because
the one is the only musderer cap
tured. In other words. three men
conspire to commit a crime, and
because two of the guilty escape,
the third should not be punished.
There is no similarity between
that case and the Ford case. In
this case the fce men were cap
tured. They all went to trial
charged with murder-foul, pre-ar-
ranged, premeditated murder. Tie

SOMETIME.
By AMANDA n. CLARK.


Sometimes, in our life's early morning.
Sweet dreams of the future there came,
Dreams of future immortal,
Ola life full of glory and fame.
But the sweet dreams of our childhood
are over,
And awakened by thoughts more sub.
lime,
Our laurels we'll reap at Deaths river,
AS we cross its dark water, sometime.
Sometimes. when our souls are weary.
And burdened with care and woe,
We wander alone by the streanlet,
And list to its musical flow;
And we fancy the voice of an angel
Blends with it's musical chime.
Awaking our souls from their stu mbers,
With their notes of the sweet some
time.
Sometimes we think of the loved ones
Who have passed from mortal sight;
Borne away in the arms of the angels,
Away to the mansions of light.
Up the golden stair unfettered
Their world-weary feet may climb;
We too shall mount beside them.
In the distant, yet near, sometime.

The case of Patrick Egan, Jr.,
indicted July 20. 1884. for the MUIR
der of George X. Blake, was called
up for second trial Thursday morn
ing, the 29th ult., about twenty
minutes before IL o'clock. Since
the first trial, Judge Luzenberg's
valuable services have been engaged
as assistant counsel for defense,
which at its first trial was solely
conducted by Judge Evans. The
names of the witnesses were called
and twelve found to be absent. Mr..
Adams explained that DR.. Jones
and Mr.. Leon Durieu would be in
attendance when wanted. It was
understood, however, that Mr..
Dudley Selph. an important wit
ness for the State, was travelling for
his house in Texas, and could not
be present. At HOS the case was
called up again, both counsel for
defense being present. Attorney
Adams submitted to the court that
Mr.. Selph was travelling for bis
firm in Texas, and that the State
could not go to trial without his
attendance. The defense, of course,
had no objection, it being evidently
a relief to Egan not to be tried be-
fore the present jury, which would
have without doubt convicted him
again, so the case was continued
indefinitely, and Egan remanded.
Egan, who was very sickly looking
at the last trial. looked splendid,
and has evidently improved.-Cay

The elections, last Tuesday, re-
suited in Democratic victories all
along the line.
New York went Democratic by
about $4,000 majority.
Virginia went Democratic b.
about $4,000 majority.
Mississippi is Overwhelmingly
Democratic.
Iowa, which usually gives from
10000 to 10000 Republican ma
jority, is now in doubt. but will
probably give a small Republican
majority, showing great Demo
cratic gains.
New Jersey went Republican.
Maryland 10000 Democratic
majority.
Massachusetts went Republican.
In several other States there
were elections of local interest, but
not OF national importance, and the
victories were almost invariably
won by the Democrats.

THE UNITED STATES SILK
FILATURE AND LEWIS
BURG COLONY.

We copy the following interest
ing article from the columns Of our
esteemed French contemporary,
the New Orleans Bee:
The United States Silk Filature
snd Lewisburg Colony, lately known
in New Orleans under the name of
the New Orleans Experimental
Filature, has just been transferred
to Lewisburg, parish of st. Tam
many, La.
The establishment is managed by
Mr.. Jules Herbelin, Special Agent
of the Department of Agriculture in
Washington. under the auspices of
the Federal Government.
The transfer took place because
Lewisburg offers more facilities
with regard to the purity of the
air and the properties of the water.
The families lin preference those
who have daughters, and women of
all ages. able to work at the Fila
ture.) will find there lodging and
fuel several arpents Of land, and
the necessary seeds, all furnished
gratuitously. They will have the
privilege of raising, for their own
account, poultry and cattle.
The wages Of the female spinners
vary from forty to ssventy-fve
cents per day. payable monthly.
Several families are already at work.
Lewisburg, which is situated en-
the shore of Lake Pontchartrain, is
in communication by steamer and
telephone with New Orleans. A
postoffice will soon be established
there; also a school and a grocery
store. which will sell goods to the
employees of the Filalure at city
prices.
Lewisburg is two miles from
Vaudeville. which possesses a Col
lege. churches, q doctor, drug
store, several groceries, hotels, and
all necessary comforts.
A hotel will soon be opened on
the Lake shore, and the colonists
will have an opportunity of selling
their products as advantage ously as
in New Orleans.

was any conspiracy the only man
who had any reason for killing Cap
Murphy. the man who had been
outraged by deceased-the "Arch
Conspirator," MS the prosecution
termed bim-was convicted of man
slaughter! Two of his abettors are
found guilty of murder! Now we
ask, in all canlor, is such a verdict
in accord with justice We assert
that it is the most ridiculous traves-
ty on justice that was ever heard of
in Louisiana. Gov McEnery is too
able lawyer not to interfere. He
is too just man not to save those
mems lives.-Morehouse Clorion.
We think the sentiments ex.
pressed above are about correct,
and will meet with general ap-
proval. 1t establishes, however, a
most dangerous precedent to the
peace and welfare Of society, for the
simple fact that the programme.
having worked well, may be repeat
ed with impunity. In q few words,
the case is simply this: Five men
agree to murder man, and sue
coed in their purpose. An ignor-
ant or corrupt jury find that two
of them are more guilty than the
other three, and render a verdict
accordingly. This is absurd. We
believe that a verdict meeting with
popular approval, and more sub
servient to the ends of Justice.
would have been to hang Thos. j.
Ford. the principal party interest
ed in the murder of Cap Murphy,
and send his tools or accom-
plices to the Penitentiary for life.
