thorities caused the leaders e r. con-
faed in dark cells, This morning thew
promised that fthey were released from
these quarters they would behave them
selves, and their promises were accepted,
and they were returned to their proper
cells. Later in the day Warden Green
discovered that, under the leadership of
q convict, Thomas Tivey, they had de-
cided to seize the first opportunity to
kill their keepers and escape. The war
don at once went to Tiyeys cell and told
him he was goiag 10 hag him. Tivey
swore if he opened the door he
would brain him with his stool. aud all
the other prisoners began making threats
at the same time. The doors to the cells
are so constructed that To open one IL is
necessary TO open all and there seemed
prospect Of very serious trouble. But
the warden did not finch. He ordered
the keepers to take their stations in the
corridor, and to shoot the first convict
who stepped outside of his cell. The
doors were swung open but not man

went into Tiney's cell and brought him
out and had dozen lashes administered

IT was to be expected that the Repub-

Roach's failure and the consequent dis
missal of 2600 workmen upon Cleveland's s
Secretary Of the Navy aud attempt to
make capital out OF it, ss they have. Bus
they have so far made miserable failure
of it, because Secretary Whitney, in the
trial trips and examinations of the Dol
phin, employed as experts, officers OF the
navy who are above any suspicion of col
lusion or connivance to make otherwise
than honest tests and deliver praC tical
Judgment on the result. Mr.. Roach made
his contracts with Chandler, one of the
most corrupt and intriguing of the Re-
publican bosses, and he confidently ex-
pected that Blaine would be elected, and
he would, as result, be able to turn over
the ships contracted for to Chandler as
his own successor in the Navy Depart.

His long run OF luck changed with Mr..
Cleveland's election to the Presidency,
and the result is very bad failure. In
rejecting the Dolphin Mr.. Whitney did
right, and the public will say so in 1888,
notwithstanding Roach's failure.

Mr. vanderbsIi Interviewed on the New
York a,entral.PeunsyIY IYania War.

New YoRR, July 20.-The Tribune
this morning prints an interview with
William H. Vanderbilt in regard to the
negotiations for a settlement of the diff
culties between the New York Central
and the Pennsylvania roads. Mr.. Van
derbilt said that he as yet knew but little
as to the details of what had already been
done in that direction, but added: Il am
told that pretty fair progress has been
made, and tEat no serious obstacles have
been found yet, but the matters are SO
complicated and intricate that | would
not fike to say whether l think the nego
tiations will be successful or not" In
regard to the prevalent rumors that some
of his associates in the Pennsylvania en-
terprises were unwilling to abandon them,
Mr.. Vanderbilt said: y don't kndw
about that, but have rather favorable
report from Gen. Magee and Mr.. Two n
bley, who have just returned from Phila-
delphia. The South Pennsylvania Com
pany is a good investment, and there is
plenty of business between Pitts5urg and
Philadelphia for the road. | do not rar-
ticularly care to give 1t up, but whatever
| do will be for the benefit of all who
are with me, and for the public good, too,
when it comes to that matter This rail-
road war must be settled some time, l
suppose, and perhaps this summer is as
good time as any," In answer to the
question as to how much the Central
would give for the West Shore
road, Mr.. Vanderbilt said: well, l
can tell better when we buy it.
The Central can pay as much as any
body, | guess, but if some one else wants
it he must understand that the war is
not settled, and will not be while we have
the West Shore. We would just as soon
fight new men, and perhaps rather, if
they have some money. This fighting a
bankrupt railway is tedious work, l tell
you, but no one shall buy the West
Shore to make money out of u.s. And
they shai Il 'hQt haye any OF oQr roads
until we have that one. You see there
are a good many things to be settled be-
fore the railroad war will be ended. |

New Alabama Road

Mr.. w. H. Skaggs, of Taladega, says
there is fund of nearly 500, 900 on hand,
and bonds are soon to be put on the mar
ket to extend the Admission and Atlantic
narrow-gsuge line. The directory has de-
cided to build the road to Mont
eomery, and it only remains to decide on
the route. The direction of the road south
of Talledega is toward Goodwater, where
connection would be made with the Geor-
gia Central system. But in few weeks a
number of the directors will take a trip
through the Coosa country to examine the
route by Rockford to Montgomery, and it is
probable that this will be the route chosen.
When the work does begin it will be
pushed on tn completion. The road is
looking for Montgomery because it will
there make connection with two importsnt
systems, and because in going there it
passes through the rich mineral region of
Coosa county.
