MRS. pARNELL's TROUBLES.

greatly relieved TO learn that although
the good lady is in financial straits no

property known as "Ironsides." In fact

PRoFEssoR RILEY of the Agricultural
Bureau has locusts for breakfast pre-
ferling them fried. He thinks, however,
that they would be nicer stewed in milk.
The Professor should turn to the New
Testament, either the old or the revised
edition will do, and get points about the
trimmings for locusts. John the Baptist
had much more experience with these
delicacies of the wilderness than any man
now living, and always took them with
wild honey dressing.

TnE absconding postmaster of Lewiston,
Idaho whose last official act was to levy
an assessment of. about $4,000 on various
banks throughout the country, in the
shape of money orders payable to himself,
has taken up his temporary residence at
Victoria, British Columbia, where there is
neither civil service law to molcst nor
an eXtradition treaty to'make afraid. The

of his bondsmen, is of n two-fold charac-

THE story set in circulation against
Colonel DENLY, the new Ministerto China,
is that he resigned his position in the
army on account of the Emancipation
Proclamation. As his letter of resigna-
ton is on file in the War Department, and
expresses regret at being obliged to leave
the service on account of wounds received
in battle, the story seems to lack bottom.

The pools IN Death Throes.

The withdrawal of the G., l., St L. 6 G. and
the Vandalia from the trunk line pool is exciting
considerable comment in Eastern papers. The
New York Tribune says: THE Importance of
the action Of these roads would be much greater
if rates Were being maintained than it is now,
when each company does practically what it
pleases. The only significance possessed by the
notice is that it is straw tending to show how
pool matters at the West are drifting Few per-
sons believe that the Chicago pool will be main
tanned after April l, the date on-which the with
drawal of the Chicago and Grand Trunk goes
into effect The trunk lines wall suspend settle
ments under the east bound pool percentages
after that date, unless action to the contrary is
taken in the meantime. With the Indianapolis
pool broken up, however, rates from other int
ricr competitive points are bound to be unsettled
and In that case maintenance of rates out OF
Chicago or st. Louis will be almost impossible.
even if the form of the Chicagopo is preserved,
despite the withdrawal of the Chicago and Grand
Trunk. With such condition Of affairs at the
West railroad men freely acknowledge that the
trunk line east bound pool cannot be continued
beyond this month. The greatest solicitude is
felt regarding the possibility of maintaining the
west bound contract after the east bound agree
ments have fallen to the ground"

President Hammond Appointed Receiver Cor

John D. Probst representing the second mort

& Springfield road. yesterday fled petition in
ceiyer of the property of the l., d.
g. S. Railroad Company The trust
ees and several judgment creditors
were made defendants. It is simply suit in
equity to decide what method shall be
taken to sell the road. A majority of both the
first and second mortgage bondholders asked
that the suit should be brought, and that
President HI. B. Hammond be made receiver.
In accordance with their petition, Judge Woods
appointed Mr.. Hammond receiver. which IS GER
tainly very complimentary to Mr.. Hammond.
who has been so prominently connected with the
road since it was built. His bond is fixed at
$50, 600 The bond WAS fled and accepted,
with John r. Elder, Of Indianapolis L. P.
Atkins of New York, and r. B. f. Peirce, Of
Charlottesville, as suretes.
This action is taken to hasten the sale OF
the road, and committee has been
appointed jointly by the first and sec
ond mortgage bondholders to bid the
road in whenever the sale should be made.
The company will then be recognized. 1t will
be remembered that some two years ago the
trustees were instructed to proceed to sell the
road, preparatory to reorganization; but there
sale, should they make one without special
order of the court, and all parties preferred
that the property should be placed in the hands
of receiver until the court should decide upon
the legality of sale. In addition to the judg
ment pending against the old L., D. & S. corpor-
alton, there said to be from $40 900 to 100000
of rebate claims still unsettled, which the COM
pany will be rid of by these proceedings.
The l., ID. & S. was leased to the Indiana,
Bloomington g. Western in 1881, the lessons
making the provision that if they failed for three
months to pay any installment of rent, the L. D.
Il S. might render them in default. The LIST Of
January $50,0 900 rental fell due. At that time
the l.. B. g. w. paid part, but not al, of the
rent the remainder not being paid
satisfactory arrangement, however, has since
been made for the remainder of the rental up to
the present time. MIR. Hammond says the road
will be operated by the employees Of the l., B. &
w. company during this month, but that on
April he will assume control

Shenandoah Valley road to Washington
company has been organized at Allegheny

the Reading has used them about year with
satisfactory results.
The Union Pacific Railway Company has
given the Westinghouse Air-brake Company di-
rectlons to complete the order for brakes for
teen sets per day. The number of sets yet to be
shipped is $500 When this road is fitted all the
transcontinental lines will be using this brake on
| their. freight cars.
The resolution looking to settlement of diff
ferences between the Union Pacific and the State
of Kansas finally passed the Kansas Legislature,
and the suit to test the validity of the consoida
ton of the Kansas Pacific with the Union Pacific
will be withdrawn. The terms of settlement do
not prevent however, a similar suit being
brought in the future.
A company of capitalists has been formed at
from Warren by way of Sugar Grove, intersect-
ing the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio rail
road at Ashyille, and thence to Mayville and
probably to be extended entirely around Lake
Chautauqua. The prime object of the road will
be for summer excursion business.
A bill has been rushed through the Texas
Legislature making it compulsory on all lines in
Texas to have their general Offices at some point
| in the State through which the road passes The
bill also states that the books of the road must
be kept at the general offices, and especially a
record containing the names of the stockholders.

The Philadelphia Record says the financial
future of the Northern Pacific is not brilliant
| unless some plan can be devised by which money
can be raised within two years for the payment
of 81 640 82l dividend scrip for the construction
of a two mile tunnel through the Cascade range
and for the rebuilding of such bridges and
sections of the road as may be worn out in the
interior.
A scheme is on foot in Kansas for paralleling
the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fa. though it is
not considered by those we'll informed that it
will amount to anything more than the construc-
ton of a local road. 1t is called the Ellsworth
