bennington Rifles and Cartridges for LCsi-
times Troops-A Missing Steamer.
NEW York, Dec. l6.-The center OF
interest in Hayttan war news was about
the wharf of the Atlas Steamship Com
pany, where two steamers were getting
ready TO sail for West Indian ports.
One Of these, the Andes, was
bound for Port -au Prince. She took
1000 Remington rifles and 100000
cartridges for Legitime's troops. 1t was
learned that crew Of seventeen men
had sailed week ago in the steamer
Alene, Of the Atlas line, for Kingston,
and that they said they were going to
seize the steamer Haytian Republic and
start her back to Il United States port be-
fore the United States Navy got there at
all.
1t was said that the crew were engaged
by Legitime's Government to mGn the
Haytian Republic in order TO avoid n
surrender of her under our navy guns.
The British steamship Samana, Captain
James, cleared by o man named Elliott,
who chartered her, left this port twenty
three days ago for Aux Cages and other
Hnyti ports. She has not since been
heard OF. 1t is feared that she either
ioundered in the recent gales, or that, in
attempting to run thu blockade, she has
been captured.

What President Spencer Has to Say Con-

BALTIMORE, Dec. lG.-President Spen-
Ger, OF the Baltimore & Ohio, said in the
course OF IN interview that there was
not the slightest foundation for the re-
port that he had accepted position
with the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany; between that company and him
self there had not been any communi-
cation, verbal or written, direct or indi-
rect, upon such q subject. Mr., Spencer
also stated that he had formed no plans
whatever with regard to his personal
future. The writer questioned Mr..
Spencer us to the probable reasons for
the proposed changes In the manage
ment OF the Baltimore & Ohio, and he
replied: ~ have nothing to say about
that at present"
The new Vice President that has been
talked about SO much means, beyond
doubt, the filling Of the Office OF Second
Vice President, which has been vacant
for year. 1t will be filled probably by
the restoration OF Thomas NJ. King, who
resigned that position Immediately upon
the accession OF Mr.. Spencer to the Pres
idency. The executives OF the Balti-
more & Ohio next year then will likely
be: President, Chas. F. Mayer; First
Vice President, General 0rland Smith;
Second Vice President, Thos. NJ. King;
Third Vice President, G. X. Lord.

A Plan to Unite the Entire Traffic Interests
OF the Ohio aud Mississippi.
ST. PAUL, MINI, Dec. l6.--It is pub
lished here that President A. r, Stick
ney, of the Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas
City Railroad, is striving to purchase
and unity the entire traffic interests Of
the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, and
consolidate the St. Paul & Duluth,
Duluth & Cincinnati ana the Kansas
City railroads with the river levees in
one grand system. II is his object to
control the two great factors in the
freight business-the iron ore and coal
shipments. The plan is to bring iron
ore to st. Paul from the Lake Superior
mines by rail and then send it to Pitts
burgh by boat. On the return trip coal
will be brought from the Pennsylvania
mines and st. Paul will become tue dis
tributing point for the entire north west.
A Adispatcl. from Pittsburgh last week
stated that a syndicate OF Pittsburgh
capitalists have about completed the
purchase OF Gray's iron line and had Sc
cured controlling interest in the "Dia-
mond 10" line. simultaneously came
the announcement Of the purchase OF the
old Davidson line, or the st. Paul aud
st. Louis packet line, by syndicate OF
st. Paul men. One OF the gentlemen in-
terested snid yesterday: "rhe constrHc-
ton OF immense coal and ore docks ut
South St. Paul will begin at once and ut
least S95O,OOO will be expended on these
improvements.

BERMrNGHAM, ALA, Dec. l6.-Thc
last victim OF the Hawes murder has
been found. The body OF pretty little
Irene Hawes now lies sincased in neat
coffin in the undertaking rooms and
will be buried in the City Cemetery
by the side OF her murdered mother
and sister.
1t was found in the lake at Lakeview,
with rope around its neck and sh0ul-
ders, and a piece OF railroad iron weigh
ing about forty pounds fastened secure
" on its breast. The child was found
lying face downward, and had without
doubt been in the same position since
it was thrown in the lake two weeks
ago. Decomposition had already set in,
and the body was at once turned over
to the uudertakers.
When Hawes was informed OF the
finding of the body he merely asked
whereit had been found. He said he did
not want to see the body. Fannie Bry-
ant, the negro woman held as an, acces-
sorry, was also seen, but her attorney had
already been there and warned her to
say nothing.
The news has caused no exCitementin
the city. 1t has been expected for Il
week, the public feeling confident that
the child's body would be found in the
lake or somewhere in the vicinity. No
crowds have gathered onthe streets and
very few have asked to see the body.
a repetition OF the terrible affair OF
last Saturday night is not apPreheaded
by any one, but as u matter OF extra pre-
caution the force OF Deputy SheritEs
guarding the jail has been increased. A
guard is stationed at the mouth OF the
fatal alley, and no one is allowed to pass
there withoat II written order from
Sheriff Smith.
Public feeling is slowly but surely re-
gazing its normal condition, and the Opin.
ion that Sheriff Smith only did his duty
Is gaining ground.

The Soubrette's New Playa Few
stage Notes,

Ray, the latest piece added to Maggie
Mitchell's repertoire, was presented at the
opera house last evening and was well re,
ceived by a large and fashionable audi
ence.
The play, which is the work of Mr..
Cal Wallace, a Philadelphia journalist, is
not a wonder, but tells a beautiful and
sin pie story in a charming manner which
pleases the audience. Exaggerated acenes
are avoided and there is a pleasant devia-
ton from the old ruts.
OF Miss Mitchell's acting it is scarcely
possible to say anything new. Her ad.
mircrs declare that Ike old wine she i'm
proves with age.
Mr.. Charles Abbott as the convict has
never been seen to such good advantage.
He had an excellent conception Of the
part, and played it with a strength, sin
cerity and earnestness which carried the
audience with him. His first scene was
particularly well managed, and he skill
fully avoided the temptation toward ex-
travagance which the part at times
offers. He shared tie honors with
the star. Mr.. r. f. McClannin
elevated the part OF the old labor reform
er into pleasing prominence, and he pre-
scented the character with nice discrimina-
ton, and acted it with excellent good
Judgment. His manner of delivering
speeches on the labor movement was deli
ciols, and the quiet humor of the part
was fully presented, The other members
of the company gave creditable support.
