fectly.

The Northern Pacific road is estimated to
have had in December last 4, 600, 900 bushels of
grain stored in elevators on its line, and but
little has since come forward. It is thought the
higher prices will move the property.
1t is reported that the Delaware, Lackawanna
q Western road is quietly picking up the Nickel
plate bonds, and the rumor is again current of a
lease. That this item will end with the report,
and Vanderbilt will continue to conduct the
road, is safe to predict.
In a recent hearing before the committee on
railroads of the Pennsylvania Legislature,
President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania railroad
discussed briefly the present commercial de-
preston in the country and attributed it largely

The Revolution of 1884 is the title of the last
issues of the Baltimore 81 Ohio Red Book. The
publication is in advance of any of the Red
Book series yet issued, and forms most valua-
bic addition to the political record of party tri-
umphs and reverses. The article upon the
general result by States is a strikingly complete
review of the official figures and the exhaustive
table accompanying it is constructed after a
manner at once intellgibe and comprehensive.
The book embraces q hundred and twenty odd

AN ATTEMPT TO COMBINE THE COAL ROADS IN
OPPOSITION.
A special to the Baltimore american from
Philadelphia, August IL, says: powerful
pressure is still being brought to bear by the
Pennsylvania railroad company to secure
means by which the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road company may be kept out Of New York
The refusal of the Reading railroad company
to entertain any proposition having this for its
object does not seem to have by any means
A movement now on foot, to have Robert H
Sayre, president of the South Pennsylvania, &C
cept the presidency of the Reading, is believed
by the Pennsylvania. 1t is claimed that Mr..
Sayre. being a director in the Lehigh Valley
railroad, as well as the Reading is doubly in
terested In any measure looking to the prOtec-
ton OF the anthracite coal trade, and that he
would willingly make some alliance with that
flee of the entire anthracite a coal trade a' as
the Pennsylvania now threatens, by cut
ting d tolls :. and prices if the Baltimore
the Reading and Jersey Central tracks. In
the same connection is mentioned the fact that
the Jersey Central is largely interested in the
production and carrying OF anthracite, and that
that company, too, would be affected very con.
siderably In a warfare upon anthracite prices
Lackawanna and Western, is also a director in
the Jersey Central and it is commended that he
would rather mollify than offend the Pennsyl-
vania railroad during the present unsettled
condition of the anthracite coal trade. The con-
temptation therefore is practically thus That
the Lehigh Valley, which is close ally of the
pennsylvania, will also urge Mr.. Sayre for the
safety of the anthracite trade, to accept the
presidency of Reading, that Mr. Vanderbilt will
cast his block of shares-variously estimated
from LAT 900 to 300, OOO-fOr his election; that
the Reading, after his election, will declare its
policy to be the protection OF the anthracite
coal trade at the sacrifice of the business of the
Baltimore and Ohio, and similar policy to be
pursued by the Jersey Central. In the mean
time, it Is believed that the Baltimore and Ohio
is fully prepared for this emergency, and will
cOnSummated.

SHOT FOR NOT TELLING HIS NAME.
Two Men Committed for the Assault on
Abe Flint-Their Victim Lying at the
Point Of DEATH

Abe Flint, the colored man who was shot last
Monday night, near the corner of 10th and T
streets, as published in THE STAR, Is lying at
the point Of death in Freedmans hospital, suf-
fering from the effects of his wounds. As stated
yesterday, Officer Maddox arrested Jas Moten,
who admitted the shooting. Later in the day
he arrested another colored man, named John
Johnson. who also admitted shooting. When
johnson was captured two revolvers were found
upon him. One revolver was taken from Moten.
The omcer also took revolver with two of its
ch ambers empty from the wounded mans
pOcKet. FROM statements made by the priso-
ners 1t appears that the men had visited q sum-
mer garden near 10th and Boundary streets,
and left shortly before midnight. Shortly after
they had left the garden they stopped Flint and
insisted on his telling them his name which he
refused to do. They then chased him, between
them firing eleven shots at him. When on T
street, near 18TH Flint fell to the ground, and
while on the ground he fired two shots. The
wounded man then got up, ran to a house, and
lying In pool of blood. Henry Newton, who
was arrested on suspicion, was discharged, as
there was nothing against him.
In the Police Court, to-day, Assistant District
Attorney Taggart called the courts attention
to charge Of assault and battery with intent
that the case be continued indefinitely. He
said that he had just received Information from
the hospital that Flint was dying, and he would
ask that bail be refused. The court continued
the case indefinitely and committed the priso-
ners without bail.
FLINT'S ANTE-MORTEM STATEMENT.
The district attorney this afternoon sent to
the hospital for the purpose of obtaining Flints
dying statement

A SHORTAGE IN THE POST OFFICE ACCOUNTS
AND SUIT FOR ISLANDER.
special to the Baltimore American from
Frederick, August II, says: Frederick A.
Marley, jr., by Frederick A. Markey, his
father, to-day brought suit against Charles w.
Miller, postmaster at Frederick, for SANDER, in
the sum Of ten Thousand dollars. The action
grew out Of Q charge made by Postmaster Miller
against young Marley Of embezzling thirty dol
lars while clerk in the post office, which posi-
ton he held until last Friday. Since this charge
has been made 1t transpires that there Is q
shortage In the post office funds OF nearly nine
hundred dollars. Postmaster Miller claims that
three hundred dollars Of his private funds have
also disappeared Young Marley is not charged
stoutly denies that charge. He has always
borne q reputation above reproach. It is quite
likely an Investigation of the post Office affairs
and q report made, nothing can be definitely
known by what means the shortage has oc-
CURED.

The School Board.

MR.. BIRNEY MEETS AND ADMINISTRATION
BUSINESS SAID TO BE ACCUMULATING.
Mr.. Birney was the only member of the
school board who appeared at the Franklin
school building to attend the regular monthly
meeting of the board. Sometime after the usual
hour for meeting had passed the secretary, Mr..
Gurley, called Mr.. Birney to order, and upon
motion of that gentleman the board adjourned,
no quorum being present. Mr. Birney said to
THE STAR reporter that business was accumu-
lating, no meeting having been held since June,
and 1t was very necessary to get the board to-
gether. To further delay matters would seri-
Ously embarrass the new superintendent in the
work of opening the schools for the year.
Tradesmen and others, he said, were beginning
to clamor and dun officials for money due
them, but nothing could be done for their relief
until the board meets Among important mat
ters waiting for the action of the board is the
course of study to be followed during the ens1-
ing school year. The District Commissioners
have not yet made appointments to ill the
three vacancies which occurred in July so there
are now only six trustees. The majority of the
members have been up to this time opposed to
recognizing the board or taking any important
action until the new trustees are appointed. Mr..
Birney said last evening that whatever the six
trustees might do would, of course, be subject
to revision by the full board when the vacan-
cies are filled. On account of Commissioner
EdmOnds' absence 1t Is supposed there will be
no appointments made for some days.

Has He Killed Two Men.
EVIDENCE CONNECTING NARDELLO WITH TIKI
DEBALBO MURDER.


DE BALBO MURDER.
The police authorities have information that
Nardello, the Italian, charged with the murder
of Rotunro, after leaving North East, in Cecil
county, Nd, stopped some time in Baltimore.
There is no doubt but that he was the last one
seen with De Balbo in November last, before De
Balbo disappeared and that before the body of
De BalbO was found Nardello left and went to
Baltimore. 1t has been ascertained that shortly
after he left North East he sold De Balbo's
watch to an Italian in Baltimore, from whom
the son of the deceased obtained it. After the
disappearance of De BalbO NardellO had con-
siderable money.

The Unfinished Cruisers.

THE GOVERNMENTS AGREEMENT WITH JOHN
ROACH'S ASsIGNEES.
At q conference in New York between Secre-
tary Whitney, Messrs. Quintard and Weed, the
assignees of John Roach & Son, and their coun-
sci, A. j. Vanderpoel it was decided that Secre-
tary Whitney is to take charge of the works,
plant and tools of John Roach & Son and to
finish the cruisers. Mr.. Weed is to handle the
money and make the profit, if there is any, act
ing virtually in the capacity of the govern
ments agent Secretary Whitney found that
the contract price for work yet to be done on
the Chicago amounted to about $685., 900. The
contract price for the completion of the Attain
ia and Boston was $S5O,OOO each, and the
work to be done would cost about $4,000
each. The assignees are to furnish the labor,
materials and tools, and are to receive the full
contract price for each vessel. II, however, it
should cost more money than the stipulated
price to finish the cruisers, the bOndsmen are
to hold themselves liable
The following naval board has been appointed
to meet at the Delaware Iron Works, Chester,
Pa, to-day, to make an examination and take
an inventory of the three cruisers, Chicago,
