Enough Stock Obtained to Insure Work on
the Road.
PITTSBURGH, October 24.-It is stated
on the best authority that under agree
ments now in existence majority of the
stock in South Penn will be controlled at
the next meeting by those who wish for an
early completion of the road and who will
so vote
The same authority states that the ten
Pittsbufghers who control S., 500, 900 of
the $4,000, 600 of stock, all agree now
as to the advisability of completing the
road.
The list of stockholders as it stands now
shows S., 500, 600 of the stock is held in
Pittsburgh. In addition to this there is
said to be at least $5,O00,000 more ready
to 90 ahead. The stockholders formerly
willing to sell, now protest that any fur
ther legal proceedings by the Pennsylvania
Railroad will be merely for delay and
they will object to it. They do not want
to have their money tied up any longer in
an unproductive shape. They say they
are willing TO put more money into the
cOmpany4in order to hurry things up and
complete the line. As to its money max
ing powers there are no two opinions.
The majority OF stock certificates are
still held in, trust by j. ..PierramOnt Morgan,
and it is expected lie will turn them over
on demand, as well as such stock as was
issued In March, 1885, in payment for
work done the South Penn. Company is
sued to the American Construction Com
pany, which was building the road, 3d.
600 shares of stock. OF this amount
the Company retained 1850,
of the remainder %, 440 shares
went into the hands of committee com.
posed of w. X. Vanderbilt, II. Mex.
Twombley, F. b. Gowan, ID. Hostetter
and II. F. Dimock, who gave Mr.. Twom-
bley 60, 600 shares, with a face value Of
s., 0OO, ,OOO) and retained 16,4i0 shares.
This is all the stock that has ever been
issued.
The meeting of South Penn will be held
shortly and then there will no doubt be
harmonious and concerted action.

Over the Delay of the Departments in Pre-
pairing Estimates.
WASHINGTON, October 25--The cSti-
mates OF all the departments for appropria-
tions required for the fiscal year lSs7-SS
are far behind. These estimates should
have been transmitted to the Treasury De
partment on or before the 1st OF October.
While the law does not require the Sccrc-
tary of the Treasury to transmit the eStI-
mates to Congress earlier than the first
day in December, the Committee on ApprO-
priatiOnS, who have 10 deal with the eSti-
mates, generally expect to have them be
fore the date and especially when the COM
ing session of Congress is short and as is
the case this year; for, unless they can
get to work before Congress conveneS, the
session is too short for all the work they
have to do in regard to appropriations.
knowing this, Mr.. Randall, the chair
man of the Committee on Appropriations
had resolution passed by congress before
adjournment in August, authorizing his
committee to meet in November and begin
the preparation of appropriation bills Al
ready Mr. Randall has come to town, al
though he had to come on crutcheS the
clerk of his committee is here, and the en-
tire committee will he here in November
ready to work; but the outlook now is that
the estimates will not be ready i'll time to
he printed before Congress cOnvenes, and
without the estimates Mr.. Randalls COM
mittee will have nothing to work on.

MERCY FOR SLAVES.
The Lash Abolished In Braxil-Bad Feeling
In the Army.


Rio JANEIRo, October 25.-As one re
suit of the scandal caused by the judicial
whipping to death of criminal slaves at
Entire Rios, in Minas Gerals, the Senate
has Just passed in third discussion the bill
abolishing the lash as punishment for
homicidal offences by slaves. According
to the ljust adopted the penalties are to
be the same as in the case Of freemen, ex-
cept that transportation and fines may not
be imposed on slaves. for obvious reasons.
The bill, however, while putting an end to
the judicial slaughter OF slaves by means
of a barbarous and torturing instrument
of execution, will not prevent similar bar
barities in the seclusion of the plantations,
such as are recorded from time to time in
the press. The planters are in fact prac-
tically irresponsible autOcrats on their is
olated plantations, and, unless political or
personal enmities interpose, the subser-
Went authorities at the county seat are
not likely to trouble themselves about an
offending slave or even freeman who has
had -thes i'll lack TO dieof q congestion OF
the lungs" or ''brain."
Discipline is not the strong point of the
Brazilian army in which insubordina-
tion, and even armed resistance to officers
are not infrequent At present there is
very bad feeling among the officers against
the Government, owing 20 the Minister Of
War having forbidden the holding of mill
tary meetings and the discussion in the
press of the conduct Of superiors in rank
and of the details of administration. Here
colonel who had censured the
Minister for not defending him in
the Legislature was put under
arrest and WAS publicly reprimand-
ed, but Notwithstanding this example, n
Colonel Maduriera has refused,to obey the
order prohibiting such discussions, and il
is current that Marshal Deodoro has de-
clared that he will resign rather than to
obey an order 10 place Colonel Madrueira
under arrest. The officers, in fact, are all
greatly aggrieyed at what they judge their
right of public discussion, and the tele-
graph from Rio Grande reports varions
meetings of officers, at which resolutions
hostile to the ministerial view were
passed by acclamation.
