Decided Against the Railroad.

The Secretary of the Interior has rendered
a decision in the case of the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad Company. in which he holds
that it has no legal claim to land along the
line of the railway from San BuenaveIitu-
ra on the Pacific Ocean, in California, to San
Francisco, a distance of 3S4 miles, and directs
the commissioner of the general land Office to
restore the same to the public domain. The
fact that this line has been mortgaged and
money raised on les credit is, the secretary
adds. the misfortune of the mortgage, and
In that they took mortgage on that to whic h
the mortgagers had no legal right, This de-
cision restores to the public domain 2,451,2 ,20(
acres.

THE CITY oFMExICo CAPTURED
United States Naval Forces Interfere
With FiIibustering Plans.

United States Naval Forces Interfere
With FilibusterinR Plans.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-A dispatch from
Washington last nIgnt 10 Ius YYstos SAID
that Rear Admiral Jouett had telegraphed
the Secretary Of the Navy from AspInwall
that the United States steamship Galena
has sailed for Key West, Fla, with the
steamship City of Mexico as a prize. The
City OF Mexico has considerable notoriety
as a hlibustering vessel. About a year
ago her Captain was arrested here on a
charge Of having saIled from this port on
an unlawful expedition. The steamer
was seized, but the charge was not
made good, and the vessel left port
apparently on another expedition of
the same character. She was puT-
chased in 1885 by friends of Marcus
Aurelius Soto, who was President of Hon
duras from 1876 to 1888, and who now lives
at No. S54 Fifth avenue, IN this city. Upon
resIgning the Presidency Of Honduras, in
1898. ne came TO New York. His success
sOr was backed by Barrios, President Of
Guatemala, who was anxious to CONSOLE
date the South American republics. Soto
was not favorable to this scheme, and
when Barrios attempted TO cOnsummate
1t in 1885 Soto prepared TO take sides
against him. He found it unnecessary to
killed. He refused to return TO
Honduras and overthrow Presi-
dent Bogran's government, but
promised TO assist his friends
in any Of their schemes. The purpose OF
the City of Mexico was one of these. She
sailed for South America some time ago
under the command of Gen. DelgardO,
who had 90 fighting men under him. She
stopped at Pr0greso, where she unloaded
a cargo OF corn that had been shipped as
"blind." Next she called at Belize,
British Honduras. The revolutionary
chiefs make Belize a headquarters, and
there arrange their plans for disturbing
the peace OF people who are not revolu-
tionarv. Neither the British nor the
| Spanish Consul at Belize treated the
officers Of the ship with much cOnsidera-
ton.
After taking on board seventeen men,
who we're supposed 10 be aching tor
! fight, the City Of Mexico steered for Blue
| fields, on the Mosquito coast. As the
I people of that place did not like the looks
I Of the steamers crew the latter were not
allowed to land. This cold reception dis
arranged Gen. Delgardo's plans. as he
| had intended TO make Bluefields his head
| quarters until matters were ripe for de-
scent upon Honduras. He decided TO
steam along the coast until he fell in with
| the CLYDE steamer San Domingo, from
/ New York, with a contingent OF the in
| surgent army recruited in New York.
| The last news from the latter party was
| that they were at Turks Island waiting
10 be taken ABOARD the City OF Mexico.
Mr.. Soto looked very much surprised
/ last evening when he was informed OF the
capture OF the City of Mexico, but he de-
MED emphstlcally that he knew anything
about the steamer, and said he did not be-
lieve there we're any arms aboard Of her.
He could not understand, he said, by
| the vessel.

-szev. Sam Jones Brings the EasI-a r-o--a
to its Feet at the Rally.
MILLEDGEvILLE, GA, Feb. 21.-The
brohibitionists had their rally here yes
terday. The procession was formed at
the Presbyterian church and nearly $500
people marched to the amusement hall.
The crowd was so large that there was
mot enough room In the hall to accOmmo-
date all the people, so hundreds of people
could not hear the speach. About 100
chairs were placed upon the stage and the
lady workers were requested to occupy
them. The parquette, dress circle, gal
lery and aisles were crowded. The SER
vices opened with a temperance song by
the choir. Alter the song, Rev. W. A.
Dodge called the immense crowd TO
prayer, then came another song, and as
the last echoes we're dying out Rev. Sam
Jones advanced to the front Of the
stage, and by his eloquent and
witty appeal swayed his audience from
tears to rOars OF laughter and applause.
The speech lasted about one hour, and
made a fine impression on the audience.
At the conclusion of Rev. Jones' remarks
be requested all who intended 10 vote or
use their influence for prohibition tn let
it be known by rising. Almost the entire
crowd arose. Mr.. Jones looks very thin
and pale, and at glance any one can
see that he has been hard at work.
One of The big anti's walked into the store
of a ProhibItionists one day this week
and notified the proprietors that he had
$1,000 To lose on the election. When the
PrOhibitionist offered to accommodate
him, however, he backed down and COM
promised by making the bet $50 even.
Both sides are working very hard now,
and it Is almost impossible TO say how
the election will result. The result de-
Ponds entirely on the negroes, and IL the
anti's do not spend a large amount OF
money 10 pay taxes, the Prohibitionists
will bave things their own way.
To-day has been a very windy, dusty
and cold day, and the crowd at tue meet
ing this morning demonstrated the deter.
miuatiOa with which the Prohibltionists
are working.

HOW THEY LAI" THE GHOST
supsrstitiOus Women Disinter q Body
and Remove Pins from the Hair and
ShrOud,
Fron. tAe lNe,e Torh World.

From tire 4Ye,o York World.
NEW HAVEN, Feb. 1S.-In the Roman
Catholic cemetery in Birmingham early
yesterday morning four middle-aged
women and two men, the latter armed
with spades and picks, entered by the side
gate and halted in front Of a newly-made
grave. The men set TO work, while the
wo en- wept, and opened the grave and
hauled casket up. The lid was taken
of and the remains of beautiful young
girl were revealed. She was the daughter
of one of the women, and the mother
shrieked so loudly when she saw the
corpse thai she could be heard for blocks.
The men stood aside and the four women
bent over the easket and deit fingers went
rapidly through the dead GRIPS hair and
shrOud, and all the pins that could be
found on the remains we're removed.
Then a needle and thread we're procured
and the shrOud and hair sewn back into
their places. The lid was then screwed
back on the casket, and the remains were
ain lowered into the grave, which was
at once filed up. 9eltt.
1t was learned that the women were OF
a very superstitious nature, aud that they
believed that il q corpse Is buried with the
Rhroud pinned up instead OF sewed, the
soul will De confined TO the grave for
eternity. aud the persons guilty OF the
mistake will be haunted until death by the
ghost OF the victim.
A mistake was made In this case, and
one Of the women claims that she has
seen the ghost for two or three nights
successfully. and she could stand il no
longer; so she got the other women to-
gether, and between them they hired the
men to disinter the body. The ghost has
not been seen since.
