SECOND DISPATCH.l
KANSAS CITY, June 14th.-Dr. Mumford
| who remained cool and collected through
| out the affair. is resting we'll tonight. and
will soon recover Carlisle is at the police
station in custody. The trouble originated
in the publication by the Times of charges
against Carlisle's professional and moral
character. On May 18th last, the Times
published an account of trip to California
by Carlisle and Miss Sallie Crute, a young
heiress to a fortune of Sl50,000, on which
occasion the young lady travelled as Car
isles niece. This was in March. A
second trip was made later, Mrs.
+, Carlisle and their three children
meanwhile remaining here at home.
In this connection, the Times charges that
F., Mr.. and Mrs. Carlisle had enticed the girl
| from her mother, Mrs. Joseph Hendrick-
| son, and kept her at their house, for the
| purpose of getting her money away from
her; that Mr.. Carlisle had obtained from
her, as his ward an unlimited power of at
| torney to control or dispose of her prop
| erty. 1t was also intimated that he had
| taken improper, if not criminal, liberties
with the girl. Carlisle made a denial OF
these charges in print, but did not bring
any libel suit as he was requested to do by

New YORK, June 14th.-The report of
the Oregon and California Railroad Com
pany Committee concerning the negotia-
tions with the Central Pacific Company.
has been issued. The principal differences
in the advantages which the certificate
holders We're to receive under the plan ap-
proved by them, and those which they are
to receive under Huntington's new propo-
sails, are these: First, the interest on the
new bonds, under the new proposal, to
commence on the 1st of July, 1856, instead
of the 1st of April, 1856. The principal is
1st of April, 1926. Second, option
as to which plan secured to the Lon
don committee, of requiring for the GER
titicate-holder either 60 per bond, or
in the alternative right to subscribe
for further amount of new bonds. with
out option, claiming cash, and the price of
subscription is somewhat increased. I'm
der the new proposal the old bonds are to
be surrendered at once and in certain con-
tingencies nothing but the scrip of the
Southern Pacific Company may for some
time be obtained without submitting to
onerous engagements Lastly, there is n
substitution of the Southern Pacific Com
pany for the Central Pacific Company as
the company which is to guarantee the
new bonds. The committee are making
inquiries into its legal and commercial po-
sitiors, preparatory to laying the new pro-
posal before meeting of certificate hold
ers, for them to decide on the course to be
taken with respect to it.
