SULLY'S SCALP NOT SAFE.
ALL SORTS OF COMBINATIONS
SAID TO BE IN THE WIND.

Eleven of the Present Board of Direc-
tors of the Richmond Terminal Com
pany Slated for Removal if the New
Party Gains Control-The Fight to be
Hard One.
New YORK, March 23.-There is no
! abatement of the gossip with reference to
the factious elements now contending for
control Of the Richmond Terminal Com
pany. The recent tumble in all the Gould
stocks, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
strike, the rate war between the several
Northwestern roads and other unfavorable
occurrences naturally make much talk in
Wall street, but all combined have not di-
verified attention from the pending terminal
contest. The new party. represented by
Isaac L. Rich, William Libbey and E. w.
Clark as committeeman, claims to be stead
lily gaining strength, and with confidence in
their power to do SO, they may attempt an
almost clean sweep of the present board of
managers.
HEADS TO FALL
1t was rumored to-day that only five of
the present directors would be retained in
the management i'll case the new party gets
COHuFOl, ILLS favored quIntSUue DelIlS JOHN
H. Inman, j. NJ. Hall, Emanuel Lehman,
James Swami and James Pace, of Rich
rnond, Va. This would involve the dis
placement of Gen. Samuel Thomas, G. S.
Brice, George S. Scott, George f. Stone
John G. Moore, Alfred Sully, Isidore
Wormser, William Moss, T. NJ. Logan,
John Rutherfol and Edward Lauderbach
This certainly would be wholesale slaugh-
ter, in which several giants would fall.
WOULD DIE HARD.
The aggregate wealth and acknowledged
ability OF maj ority of the chosen victims
makes tine practicability of the programme
rather doubtful. Judging from their past
records it is not likely that these men will
die without kicking, and when the battle is
over there is liable to be list of killed and
wounded on both Sides
President Sully has been quite indisposed
since he returned from Florida and during
the last week has been very little
in Wall street. 1t is said, how
ever, that he has recently been a
large buyer of terminal stock and made
other preparations for the war. 1t was sug
gested to-day that possibly the Rlce-Libby
party might coalesce with all the present
management except Messrs Sully, Logan
Wormser and Lauderbach. Such a con-
solidation would necessarily overwhelm the
rejected four but that compromise is not
very probable If the Rice Libby faction
acquire sufficient power to dictate at all,
they will insist on the removal CT several
others besides these four.

Wilfred Blunt has written letter to the
Times recounting in detail the date and
hour and the words that passed between
himself and Mr.. Balfour, Chief Secretary
for Ireland when the latter said that
the home rule movement was supported by
half dozen men whom he named and
would collapse if, as he expected. they,
through fear of prison, fled the country. If
they were imprisoned, he said, they would
get such severe hard labor that those with
out st, ong health would be unable to
stand it. Mr. Balfour said he was sorry
Tor Mr.. Dillon, as there was some good
about him, but he would get six months
hard labor, and as ne was in bad health,
the punishment would kill him. Mr. Blunt
says he understood the Chief Secretary
words to be intended somewhat as a warn
ing to himself, and through him to the
Parnellites. He again challenges Mr.. Bal
four to say whether his statement is correct,
and declares that if he again denies the
language attributed he will bring testimony
to cCrroborate it.
SENTENCES CONFIRMED.

O'Brien and Mr.. Hayden to three months
imprisonment, aud MIR. Byrne to tour

jected to simple bankruptcy for the legal
moir of their arrears. Other creditors will
share equally with the landlords.
