WARNER MUST DiSGORGE.

rhe Report of Referee Hamilton Cole De-
cides in Favor of the Receivers of Grant
& Ward. and Must Disgorge His Fancy
Profits.
NEW YORK, March 1S.-The report OF
ceiver Davies, of Grant & Ward. as
against VIM. S. Warner, requires
Warner to pay over 81, 1876, 1924 to the
receiver. The referee finds that on the
date of the formation of the firm of
Grant & Ward. Ferd Ward was hope
lessly msolvent. owing 100000 more
than he was able to pay. That the only
cash contributed by any of the partners
was Sl15, 100 paid in by U. S. Grant. Jr.;
that the firm was hopelessly insolvent from
the time of its organization: that the bus
mess of the firm was conducted entirely
by Ward that he made monthly state
ments pretending tn show profits which
he knew to be false; that Ward kept
private bank accounts unknown to the
others as covers for moneys misappro-
printed by him; that all the property
conveyed to Warren by Ward was pur-
chased with money thus obtained from
TIE firm; that between the 18th of
December, 1882, and the 10th of
May, 1884. Ward, purporting to act
on behalf of Grant & Ward, received from
Warner Sc, 532 1923, and paid over to him
S7,757. 661. The amount received by
Warner in excess of moneys paid is ST.
255.361 "a 1t is further said that none of
the defendants. except Julien Davies, as
receiver and assignee, has any claim.
Geo. ChoIt, assignee of the creditors of
Ferd Ward, individually said this after
noon:
ssIt is in reality victory for us all, for
it holds that Warner is responsible for
the amount of money and the property
which he got out of the firm. Future
proceedings must be instituted as to how
the money when received shall be admin
istered. This the courts must deter
mine.'
evil it be possible to recover the
money from Warner?"
az hardly think it will, but what prop
erty he has may be recovered"
J. Henry Work, hother-in-law of War
rem, and associated with him in many
transactions with Grant & Ward, declined
to speak as to what action may be taken.

A RIFT IN THE CLOUD.
A Chance That the Great Strike
May be Amicably Settled.
Receiver sheldon of the Texas q Pacif1c
Agrees to Arbitration In the Hall Case
and VIII Refer the Matter to
the United States Judge.

NEW ORLEANS, March 1s.-The en-
ployes of the New Orleans branch OF
the Texas & Pacific railroad here were
the last to go out on the present strike
against the Gould lines. For the past
three days the receiver of the road, Cen
eral SHIELD on, has been attempting, with
the assistance of the United States
marshal, to get out freight train from
this city, but in vain. Yesterday the
first steps were taken toward an entire
settlement of the strike along the
Texas & Pacific and the Missouri
Pacific roads, and it is generally
thought by both General Shell
don and the men that all the differences
now existing can be readily and easily
adjusted. A delegation of the strikers
were introduced to General Sheldon yes
terday morning and discussed the situa-
ton with him. They said that the whole
trouble originated from the discharge of
Hall at Marshall, and asked him if some
thing could not be done to bring out the
facts of that case, and ascertain
whether Hall was discharged just
~, or simply because he was
Knight of Labor. Could they not Sc
cure arbitration of this matter, they
asked
General Sheldon replied that he thought
it could be done; that the proper ar
bitrator would be the United States judge
here, in whose hands the railroad was.
The Judge would sit upon the case, hear
the testimony and decide judicially
whether the discharge of Hall was for
cause or not, and if without cause or
reason the injury could be righted.
The strikers expressed themselves we'll
satisfied with this offer. They wanted
arbitration and were willing to have the
case of Hall thoroughly examined to see
whether he was guilty, or improperly dis
charged. 1t was accordingly arranged
that two members of the New Orleans as
sembly of the Knights of Labor should go
at once to Marshall, being furnished with
free transportation by the railroad. to see
the assembly there and find whether it
would consent to their terms, and to ar
range with Hall to come to this city and
appear before the United States Court
and to aid him in collecting all testimony
necessary to present his case before the
court. The committee left for Marshall
last evening.
In the meantime the men agree to get
out passenger trains and repair the pas
sen9er engines, but freight trains will not
be run. The men also agree not to inter-
fere in any way with or invade the COM
pany's depot.
At General Sheldon's suggestion the
force of United States deputy marshals,
which have been stationed at Gouldsboro
for two days past TO protect the railroad,
were withdrawn last evening, and all is
quiet there. General Sheldon seemed
pleased with this understanding. and he
predicted that the entire strike would be
arranged within a few days. The men
seem equally satisfied.

Mr.. HoxIE's reply to Mr.. Powder1y's re-
quest on the 18th for a conference was in
substance a refusal to treat with the
Knights of Labor on the ground that on
previous occasions the organization had
broken faith with the corporation.
MANY of the Presidents callers on the
18th reminded him that it was his forty
ninth birthday anniversary. Although
some social recognition of the day was
shown the President did not observe it by
departing in any way from his daily rou
tine.

NEWARK, March 21.-Railroad rumors
are flying around here promiscuously
lately and find many firm believers. How
ever some are we'll substantiated particu-
larly the coup de main on the part of the
Pennsylvania to capture the lions share
of the Newark passenger traffic from the
b. a. o. railroad. As is known, the p,
w. q B. station for this town is about a
mile south of town. The new station of
the rival corporation will be situated at
the western end of town. To over
come this advantage of the B. a.
0. the Pennsylvania intends to estab-
lish a branch depot at the eastern
end of town, on the site of the present
depot of the Newark & Pomeroy railroad.
A party of Pennsylvania officials includ-
ingSuperintendent Carter, Superintendent
Hinckely and others, came out on q special
train and viewed the proposed site and
determined positively to either station a
regular train at this branch depot in town
to connect at the present depot with all
the trains or to change the main line SO
that it will touch the eastern end of town
and diverge again to its present route.
With this latter project in view they
ordered the line surveyed, and this has
been accomplished. The road, if the
place is approved, will divergs from its
present route about three miles east of
Newark and run on tangent to this
town and then rejoin the original line
two miles below.

Parson Bristor had TO leave the palson-
age shortly after he left his Methodist
church in Spring Valley, and Mr.. John
Wood, one of his practitioners, who dis
believed the story of Ida Downs, offered
him the shelter of his house. When the
books and records of the church disap-
peared several days ago, Mr.. Wood was
arrested for taking them, and Monday
he should have been tried before Justice
Fenton in his private office, which is also
the court house Of the valley. All the
people in the village tried to get into the
oblong courtroom, and their enthusiasm
was not at all dampened by the ii law
books over the judges desk or the picture
of Daniel Webster beside them. Justice
Fenton has fringe Of gray whiskers, is
q fairly good checker player, knows all
about the valley and wears his overcoat
in the house. Its collar was up around
his neck when he opened court and
pushed the wooden cuspidor into the
middle of the chamber of justice.
Mr.. Woods lawyer, Irving Brown, had
an order from Judge @. Frank Brown Of
the supreme court of the county trans
ferring the case to New City, on the
ground that Justice Fenton, being opposed
to Parson Bristor, could not properly
deal out justice to Mr.. Wood. DO the
case goes over to April. The justice had
drink with Fred Holtz In his hotel, and
then went down by the strings of houses
to play checkers with the butcher.
"Why, TO see them a.coming out Of my
courtroom and to hear them a-crowiDg
over what they call victory It's
astonishing when one comes to think
that not in the whole of Spring Valley"

as though the valley scooped in Patagonia
and Greenland, ''there is not q single re.

ELKToN, March 1.-THE Cecil county
court continued in session to-day. The
jury in the case of State vs.. Joseph

local option law, failed to agree and was
discharged. John Sewell, colored, was
tried before the court and convicted of
chicken stealing. The case of Kelly VS..
the Columbia & Port Deposit Railroad
Company and Egnor vs.. the same, was
compromised, by the company paying the
plaintiffs $40 each. The grand Jury
found one presentment for larceny, two
for assault and battery, and two for vio-
lation of the local option law. Patrick
Gorrell of North East was brought to Jail
last evening. He is charged with wife
beating. This is the only offence in
Maryland for which the whipping post is
the penalty.
ELKToN, March 18.-In court, to-day,
John Alexander of Oonowingo, was tried
for violation of the local option law, be-

James Culinary pleaded guilty to
charge of assault and battery, and was
fined five dollars and costs.
Cecil Physick was placed on trial for
the larceny of three summer hats from

feature of this case is that the summer
hats were alleged to have been stolen the
day before Christmas. The case was on
trial when court adjourned.

A oonstantinople letter to the New York

A Constantinople letter to the New York
Herald reports that there has been a great
loss of English prestige in India during
the past few years, and that there is good
reason to believe that within the next
three years the long awaited struggle
between the Lion and the Bear for SUI
premacy in southern Asia must be fought.
The evacuation of Candahar is regarded
as q great mistake, and the recent sur
render to Russia on the Afghan question
a still greater one, as both have been
taken in India as evidence that the Gar is
q bigger man than John Bull. Carefully
selected Muscovite emissaries are on the
ground, doing their best to nurse this
impression for all it is worth, and it is
predicted that the British may find the

the stir which the "annexation' of Oudl

of the procedure was that the East Indi
