be authoritatively stated that there is no
truth whatever in these reports. The nom-
nations Of Mr.. Hedden and MI. Dor
sheimer are both pending before the senate
and have not yet been acted upon. and it
would be impossible for other gentlemen to
be appointed in their places until their NOM
nations were either rejected or withdrawn.

Reorganizing the Central Iowa.

SpeCIdI 10 CHe UIODe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-An inquiry into the
inwardness of the project to build railroad
between Lacop and Keithsburg, ILL.,, tends
to confirm previous publications regarding
the scheme being an offspring of the parties
engaged in recognizing the Central Iowa.
1t is asserted that the corporation desires
Chicago connection. which it can get by
gaining the Alton at Lacon. and it has an
understanding with the latter road looking
to liberal and satisfactory agreement. 1t
is aspiring to become a trunk line to the
Missouri river. This is to be accomplished
by building west from Oskaloosa, Ia, TO
Council Bluffs. This done, what with its
Iowa and Peoria branches, it would be
most desirable ally of the Alton, and in
position to compete for its share of the
Western traffic.

Died of Excitement.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Joseph Walsh
went into the Brooklyn Sugar refinery yes
terday afternoon, and while looking at some
machinery fell backward into one of the
circular cutting mills and was chopped to
pieces. The machinery was stopped, and
the remains of the unfortunate man were
gathered up and removed by a friend
named Frederick Bird. He carried the re-
mains out to the dock and then went back
to the sugar house. He was very white.
and great drops of perspiration rolled down
his face. He could hardly walk, and upon
reaching his work-room sank into chair.
The sight had overcome him. After a
short rest Bird rose to his feet, but reeled
and fell dead of heart disease occasioned by
the excitement.

Peninsular Railways.

NEGAUNEE, Mich. Dec. 23.-The man
agement of the Marquette, Houghton 6 On
tonagon railroad was seriously thinking of
building an extension to Ontonagon from
Houghton instead of Lanse, as the land
grant calls for. but it has finally decided to
abandon the new plan as impracticable and
likely to influence adverse legis-
lation in reference to the land grant.
The company must have ten miles of the
extension from Lanse to Ontonagon built
July l, 1886, or suffer the entire forfeiture
of very valuable land grant. If all the
railroads promising to build lines in the up
per peninsula next season do so, this part
of the state will have more railroads to the
square mile than any other known part of
the country.

Under Suspicious Circumstances.
BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. 23.-The mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance of
Phillip II. Haviland, very respectable
miller of Manchester Mills, Montgomery
county, has caused great excitement
throughout the neighborhOod. which was
intensified by the discovery of what are
looked upon as indisputable evidences of
foul play. There was an air of mystery
about Haviland, who was a Quaker, but of
areticent disposition, and. though industrious
and frugal, had but little social intercourse
with his neighbOrs. Last Wednesday Havi-
land started with his team for Rockville.
Thursday night at 9 o'clock he passed
through the Sligo toll-gate on his way
home. He stopped at the store of A.
Graves, few rods beyond the toll-gate,
and appeared then to be in excellent
humor. He remained in the store about
half an hour and then drove OH over the
moon-lit road toward home. An hour or
so later persons going along the road near

Metropo,itan Luck.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The management
of the Metropolitan base ball club fear little
trouble in signing their players, including
Orr and Roseman. Brooklyn people are
considerably chagrined over their failure to
get these two players for the Brooklyn club.
Hines has already signed with the Bostons,
so that st. Louis cannot now secure him.
1t is thought by many that the withdrawal
of Providence from the league will not
benefit the Boston club financially. The
old rivalry between these clubs in the past
years drew immense crowds whenever these
two mines played together.

His Fa miiy Distracted.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO. Dec. 23.-B. T. o. Hubbard,
the defaulting cashier of Monmouth, begins
to feel that the ways of the transgressor are
very hard. He was brought over to the
government building this morning, and it
was evident that the few days in Jail had
made great impression on him. He was
met by his sister, whose tirmness during
the trial was wonderful. She has at last
awakened to the reality of the fate in store
for her much beloved brother and is almost
in distracted state. The family are ter
ribly shattered by the verdict of the jury, as
they had been inclined to hope that the
sharp cashier and his counsel could find
some way to evade the penalties of the law.
1t is probable that the argument for new
trial will be simply presenting of mitigat-
ing circumstances and an appeal for mercy.

Special to the Globe.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Land Commits
sioner Sparks has issued circular to regis
tiers and receivers of land offices, directing
them to keep two dockets. one of contested
cases, containing a full record of action
taken therein by all parties, and the other
a docket in which shall be entered every
entry Of every character which is held for
cancellation. or in which further evidence
is called for, or other actions. The circular
is issued because of the habitual failure of
local officers to promptly notify the general
land office when appeals are not taken from
decisions or actions of this Office, or where
parties do not comply with requirements,
or when they take no action under notice
to be given, thus involving great embarrass-
ment and delay.

SLUGGER SULLIVAN.

The Big Bruiser Gives a Number of Stage
Representations Without Getting Drunk.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26-John L.. Sullivan has
been on view to minstrel audiences six evenings
and three afternoons this week, and the theater,
for the first time since it was built, has been
crowded. The audiences were Lot altogether
sporting and riff-raf, but had a considerable
proportion of fashionable men and women, who
took this opportunity of seeing the great slug
ger. 1t was confidently expected that he would
gel unmanageably drunk before the week ended,
and all possible precautions were taken to keep
him sober. Every morning newspaper sent re-
porters to each performance to write about the
anticipated episode Of intemperance, and the po-
lice force there was augmented for possible
emergency. 1t was feared that, in the event of
an outbreak by him on the stage, a panic might
ensue in the jammed auditorium. John him
self declares that he has found his real fortune
on the stage, and is now bound to save his in
come. He has planned a show tour on his own
account. 1t is safe now to say that there was a
fair excuse for the recent rumor that he was
going to marry blithe Annie Livingstone, the
burlesque actress. He and she denied it at first.
but they are at presen: a fond couple. Annie
has quit the company with which she was act
ing, aud is generally seen in the same towns with
the minstrel troupe with whom he appears. In
case Mrs Sullivan gets a divorce, John would be
free to wed again anywhere outside Of Massa-
chusetts, and there is small doubt that he is con-
ditionally engaged to Miss Livingstone.

Whisky and Pistols at Revier.

BEvIER, Mo, Dec. 26-Yesterday was looked
forward to with fear by the law-abiding citizens.
but no conflict between the whites and the black
miners occurred. Christmas eve, the negroes
had o dance in the stockade. Many of them
were drunk, and revolvers were frequently -four
ished. Several fights occurred among them, and
all night long there was shooting going on, with
out fatal effect, however. The citizens claim
that all the shooting was done by the negroes,
and the negroes claim that some of the whites
shot into the stockade. Yesterday the negroes
remained in the stockade. and were drinking
heavily; there was also a great deal of drinking
among the white men, and frequent fights oc.
Cured on both sides. A number of both black
and white miners went to Macon to-day. and the
authorities there were somewhat alarmed, and
took extraordinary precautions to prevent
trouble, by enlisting extra police. Several alter
cations took place between white men and ne.
groes, but prompt arrests prevented a riot.
