IuSNranca a Gent Sppd.

About two years ago Frank D. Lewis was
appointed local agent of the United States Life
Insurance Company It is alleged by the COM
pany that in the fall of that year he became
indebted to it for 81 800, money advanced. For
this sum Lewis gave his note January II, 1884,
on which credit of 500 appears. In December
of shat year he reported on account of monies
received during the month 1888. % due the COM
pany. He it is charged, sent check on the
Merchants National Bark for the amount, but
payment refused because Lewis had no
deposit or any money to his credit in that bank.
He failed to make report for January, 1885,
and although often requested the complaint
states, to pay the note make good the dishonored
check and give an account of his business he has
refused, thus violating his contract with the
company. Suit was yesterday brought by the
company against Lewis and his bondsman, Rob
ert Craven, of Madison, Ind, in which judgment
for So, 900 is asked. w. p. Graham, of Madison,
his second bondsman, is dead.

Ohio Democratic Convention.

Chairman Cogan, of the Ohio Democratic
State central committee, during his stay here
has received many letters from members of his
party relative to the time for the Ohio State
Democratic convention. In the northern and
central part Of the State there is willingness
among the leaders to have the committee called
at once and the date for the convention fixed for
the first week in August. Governor Hoadly
favors this. but Mr. Cogan says that in Cincin-
natl there is disposition to have the conven-
ton held later in August and perhaps in Sep

Mr.. Cogan last night 'and consult with leaders

Making Good Progress.

One of the chief executive officers of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company asked Saturday
Iaet. by a reporter of the Philadelphia Evening
Telegram, whether there was any foundation for
the report that negotiations in progress be-
tween his company and the New York Central
railroad with view of settling the existing diff
ferences which have been the leading element in
the long spending breach between the two great
trunk lines. He replied that such negotiations
have been begun. and that favorable progress
toward a settlement has been made, but that the
subject is of such magnitude that hasty
steps cannot be taken. 81 would have no hest
fancy continued the official, lin giving you any
details of arrangements if Il basis OF settlement
had been reached, but any publication at this
time might be injurious. You see, therefore,
that while some progress has been made it
would be nothing more than conjecture TO say
what the basis of agreement is TO be
From other and reliable sources it was learned
that an honest and determined effort is being
made by the parties in interest to solve the diff
cult problem and to eliminate those powerful
factors in the dissensions the West Shore and
the South Pennsylvania railroads. This involves
i. great deal of energetic work, and somebody
must make sacrifice. From all the inforrna
tion obtainable, such advances have been made
by the parties in interest that they cannot recede
1rom their position, and the outcome is certain

Mrs. Walton Wants a Pardon.

A petition was presented to the Governor yes
terday by the attorneys of Mrs. Ellen v Walton,
now in the Female Reformatory on life SEN
tence for completely in the murder of her hus-
band, in January, 1882, asking him to pardon
her, for the reason that Aaron Frazier the
negro who acknowledged having committed the
murder, had twice voluntarily made affidavit
generating her from being implicated in the
crime. In the trial he made an alleged confess
sion declaring that Mrs. Walton was implicated
in conspiracy against her husbands life, and
he now swears that he was led to do this for the
purpose of saving himself from being hung. In
his last two confessions he declares that she had
nothing whatever to do with the crime The
Governor will investigate the case.

William Needham and others against John c..
Wright and others, was discussed on a motion
for venire do novo, another for Judgment on
the verdict, and the third for a new trial The

The Baltimore & Ohio people have commenced
work in earnest on the bridge over the Susque-
hanna river, on their route from Baltimore to
Philadelphia The bridge will be finished by
Nov. l. The bridge consists of ten spans on
high stone piers and three pieces Of viaduct iron
work. It's 6,3l5 feet from end to end, and is
ninety five feet above mean low tide. The
spans had to be made long because the river is
so deep that building piers was very expensive,
and the bridge placed so high because the
company di not want to have a draw, and the
people of Port Deposit, four miles above
claimed that it would destroy their commerce if
it was any nearer the water SO the bridge
will stand on high, slender piles of granite
between 400 and 500 feet apart, and high enough
above the river to allow the passage underts iron
girGers of the biggest schooner that comes up the
river without unshipping her topmast.
The most difficult part of the building of the
bridge was finding solid foundation for the
piers Pier No. 2, over the Hartford side had
to be built down through fourteen feet of water
and fifty five feet of mud, and Pier No. through
sixteen feet of water and nearly fifty nine feet
of mud. The next pier went down sixty
feet below the surface, thirty-two feet of mud
having 20 be passed before the rock bed was
reached. Pier No. S, over on the Cecil side, had
TO be sunk eighty feet and No. went
down seventytwo feet, thirty one being mud on
the river bed The foundations for the piers
were made by the pneumatic caissor process.
Some of the spans of the bridge are of remark
able length. There is through span $40 feet
long, between piers and the Hartford
channel, and deck span Of the same length
between piers s and on the Cecil side. The
Others vary in length from 200 to 480 feet and a
piece of viaduct which runs across Watson's
island is 194l feet in length. There are but
fwo other through spans 52O feet long in the
United States. The cost of the bridge will be
within 50 900 000

Start OFF Well.

All roads yesterday, seemingyin all directions,
put in effect full tariff rates. More especially
did agents of east-bound lines present bold
front. Even Wilson, of the Lackawanna; Stan
berry, of the Traders Dispatch and Parmaee,
of the West Shore took firm stand in the mat
ter, and if they hold out the impression prevails
that the other dozen or of fast freight lines
will. There seems to be general desire among
railroad men and the better class Of shippers
that fair paying rates be given by the roads and
no favoritism shown. There those,
however, who fear that under present
conditions permanent peace be
effected. Whatever the understanding which
may be arrived at between the Vanderbilt and
Pennsylvania interests, the West Shore and
the old demoralzers, the Grand Trunk and
Delaware & Lackawanna, will remain un-
controlled. Although all three of these roads
may be at present disposed to accede to
restoration of rates for the temporary advance
ment of their resources, the disadvantages under
which they labor in competing at equal rates
with the other trunk lines will always tend to a
disruption of rates. unless some more potent
restraining influence than any heretofore
ceived is applied. This is more particularly the
case in times like the present, when the volume
Of traffic is so inadequate to the capacity of the
roads, and when all are so industrously seeking

revenue.
