-------s-<~ - Mineral Belt Railroad.

The Mineral Belt road wlIl begin al poirt at or near Flagstaff and run almost directly south, d distance oi IFS miles to Globe. Two routes from the summit of the MogoIlons to Wnd Rye valley are under Consideration, to be determined after actual survey by distance and practicability of route. One is Strawberry valley, supposed to be shortest, which avoids the worst features of the Rim Rock and necessi- ty of tunneling. The other is King $ route which comes off the Mogollou mountains at the head of East Verdi, and by way of Payson to the head of Wild Rye. The road will run for a distance of 100 miles through one of the finest timber belts on the Pacific Slope, and supply Central Arlzona with timber for all purposes at great ly reduced prices. It will also bring to our doors an abupdant supply of coal from the mines at Gallup, N. M. Globe will begin to be benefited when the Mineral Belt R. R. reaches the head of Wild Rye, as there is a good wagon road from that point to Globe, and supplies of all kinds can be laid down here much cheaper han by the Southern Pacific route, on ac. count of the shorter hauls by iall and wagon. There IS every reason to be- lievc that another year will witness the commencement of a substan,ii Il growth and improvement in our to oxn. Silver Belt,

A SENSATION IN PARIs.-It is said that
the German ambassador at Paris has been
instructed to inform the French government
that their application to the chambers for a
credit OF 900 600 for military and naval
supplies would be regarded by Germany as
declaration of war. The statement hes
caused q sensation in Paris, although its
truth is doubted, the belief being that the
German ambassador was only told to in
uuire into Frances relations with Russia
and to ascertain whether the proposed
credits have anything to do with those
relations.

THE MINUTE COLLAPSES.
After a Precarious Existence of Two Years the
Paper Succumbs to the Inevitable.

By agreement of attorneys interested in the
suit of the indianapolis Paper Company against
the Minute Publishing Company. Judge Walker
yesterday appointed VIM. S.. Fish receiver. He
gave So, 600 bond, with VIM. o. De Way as surety
for the fulfllment of his trust. It is stated this
result was reached by an intimation that another
creditor was to make a similar application. On
the other hand the Minutes proprietors claim
the tendency of the first suit for so long a time
without any settlement being reached rendered
immediate action necessary, as it affected the in
terests OF the paper. The proprietors say their
liabilities bear a proportion of 81 to g. of their
assets, and the showing would be more
favorable if they could realize on
the real worth Of their property.
The Indebtedness aggregates about ST, 100, of
which $3.50 is due the proprietor of the Sentinel,
$3.50 to the complaining creditor, and the rest to
printers and employees. In assets it is claimed
there are $4,000 in accounts, which the propri-
etors have sealed to So, 600, while the complain
ant thinks they are worth about 81, 700. The
tangible property consists only of type and Office
furniture, worth in all nearly $500. The publ
cation of the paper has been suspended. It is
not probable that the transfer of the paper to
Democratic owners, as has been reported. will
take place, but it is given out that an arrange
ment of the kind is possible by which a company
will continue the sheet after the legal troubles
are settled,

INDIANAPOLIS pRESBYTERY.
Cases Of College Student Preachers Consid-
cred and Precautionary Measures Advised.

The regular meeting of the Indianapolis Pres
bytery was held yesterday at the Second Pres
byterian Church. Rev. H.. A. Edison presided
in the absence Of the moderator. A discourage
ing condition Of affairs at townsville was report
ed by Rev. Patton. Seven additions to the
church membership at Georgetown were report
ed by Rev. Terry. The committee on visitation
were all continued, with the exception that Rev.
G. L. j. Browne was added to the Georgetown
and Nashville committee. Revs. Patton, Nc
LIE Cd and Graydon were constituted a committee
to fill vacancies on the standing committees.
Rev. Mcleod stated that there were certain
i%tinerant preachers and students of Wabash
College whose relations with the presbytery
were OF an irregular nature. Their orthodoxy
and proficiency should be known, he thought,
before they should be permitted to preach.
Boys in the first years of the college course who
are permitted to preach, without having been
examined by the presbytery, often do more
harm than good. He favored the appointment
of a to investigate the matter and
report whether or not there is any irregular
preaching. Rev. Hunter thought it advisable
to proceed very cautiously in the matter, as a
careless committee might do much mischief in
the regularly employed pastors can not should,
he said, be encouraged. Rev. McNutt asked for
leniency il behalf Of the students, for the reason
that many of them who preach occasionally are
working their way through college. Rev. Nc
Leod's motion was adopted, and the appointment
of the committee was taken under advisement
by the moderator.
Rev. E. Black, who intends to locate in Flori-
da, was dismissed from the Presbytery.

Four hundred and twenty-three adults and lis
children have been sheltered and cared for at the
Home during 1885. About $50 Of these were
mothers with children, ranging from two to four
in a family. Some, indeed many, OF these were
transient, on their way to former homes and
friends. with sick children and no money. 9th
ers were women of our own city who, unable to
pay their rent, were set out on the street, and
came to the Home for shelter until other ar
rangements could be made for them. Others
had rooms rented, could get no work and had no
food. There were cared for and work found for
them, when they gladly returned to their rooms.
Others have been protected, encouraged in all
that was right, taken out of the slough of
despond and made to feel that life vas worth
living. Many of these we are very much
interested in and, we may say,
proud of certainly very thankful for.
Some are in comfortable and respected homes
of their own. Others are supporting themselves
by honorable employments, while the Home is
still their home. where they ever find welcome
aud rest when needed. Tney are not now home
less or friendless. We have no resources for
the support of the Home but the interest on Mr..
E.. j.. Peck's legacy. this year $50 per month
from the County Commissioners for shelter and
care of transient women and children, and the
voluntary contributions of friends interested in
our work. We have never received a portion of
any funds contributed to other charitable organ
~izations. We make this statement because OF
many questions asked us upon this subject. On

ADDITIONAL COMPLICATIONS.
New Complaints Tend to Involve the Bridge
Company Affairs in More Litigation.

Tn legal proceedings against the Indianapolis
Bridge Company were complicated somewhat
yesterday by the filing of two additional suits.
Steel Company, asks for a receiver. This is
upon a claim of open account for see. SO, and a
note of date Sept. 6, 1885. for 1896. %, the paper
being signed by the Bridge Company for S.
Muhl, president It is alleged by the Eureka
Company that the defendant is insolvent, with
an aggregated Indebtedness Of $50. 600, and as
sets OF 2 5000. If the property is sold at sher
ifs sale, under executions that already rest
against it, but little of the real value Of the
is also made that the company has other assets
which have not been called in, the defendant re-
fusing to resort to them in payment of its in
debtedness. This class Of assets is supposed to
be shares of stock issued to e. FL. Goldman, M.
A. Downing, w. B. Burford, D.. K. Folsom, E.
A. Goldman. Edwin Fl; Lamme, J. G McCutcheon
and S. Null. Complainant alleges that upon
these shares full payment has never been made,
and that the sum thus due is $25 1000. This
amount, it is said, is sufficient to pay all in
debtedness of the company. The officers and
directors eh the charge explains, are among
claim that no liability of the kind exists. Be-
side asking for q receiver for the bridge COM
pany, the complainant wants payment to be
made on the stock.
Among those who obtained judgments against
the company during the past week are Jones g.
Laughlin and the Central Iroa and Steel Com
pany. These two creditors filed a joint COM
plant yesterday, alleging the non-payment of
stock on the part Of some of the holders. They
ask that they be compelled to settle, and, fur.
ther. that all other judgments against defendant,
particularly that of the First National Bank, for
$40. 638, he set aside as Of no force, and
they pray that their claims be given preference.
A restraining order against the sheriff, to pre-
vent him from selling the plant under the exc
%cutions he has upon it. is wanted. The difficult
ties of the bridge company are said to be the
outcome of starting into business on borrowed
capital, the greater part of which was obtained
from the First National Bank. On the other
hand, the story goes that it is an attempt to
squeeze out the interests Of some of the stock
holders in favor of others.
