popular Of the year-in fact its like will not

That Rumored Consolidation.

General Manager WOOdford, Of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie, says, regarding
the report that the Cleveland and Canton
had absorbed the South Pennsylvania and
Ohio. "You will be quite safe in denying
the report that tie Cleveland and Canton
people have either bought or consolidated
with the S. P. & O., ard we have cOnclu-
five evidence that no such purpose is con
templated. As regards the additional
statement that the Wheeling aud Lake
Erie was forced by the 5. P. & o. to take
A more roundabout and difficult route be
tween BowerstOn and Wheeling, 1t is not
true. oar engineers found better route
with lighter grades, and will be able to
draw four or five more cars IN train on
our line than if we built on the S. P. * D.
route. "-CleUeland Leader.

MeKeuna's Filtration.

On Wednesday evening those popular i'm
parsouators of Irish character will be at

success, "McKenna's Filtration Re-

riags of a couple of letters intended for the

Kate Castleton In - Paper DOLL"
Enjoyable as Miss Casileion's engage
ments have always been, that Of the ensu-
leg week on Friday and Saturday nights,
promises TO be even more so. Her new
play, "a Paper Doll, - is apparently built
fthat msterisl which requires much more
artistic acting and intelligent work to
make il sgreeable than the successful
skit "Crsz, Patch" A a resultit is said
the fair Kate has gathered company
L - .-rr,1I he .nnal 40 old
Erglish comedy. In such places as Nash
vile and Memphis, Tenn, where Miss
Castleton is so enthusiastically admired,
"A Paper Doll" has made a genuine
sensation. The first act Is a piece Of
pune comedy uninterrupted by musical
numbers, while the second aud third are
bound to be subservieDt TO the songs and
specialties which the public always eX-
pect from this organization. The plot IS one
of almost endless COmpliclt revolving
around lOcket containing a girls picture
with paper doll in her lap. Tbs said
lOcket eventually proves the identity Of
the heroine, who is foundling and her
inheritance to big fortune. The COM
pany includes the names of Mr.. Pete
Daily, one Of the INST humorous and
original comedians of the day, Bert
BO0te, an eccentric geuius, Mise Ada
Dsaves. who is second only to the star,
and Mics Bebe Vining.
Miss Castleton will revive her popular
success, "For Goodness Sake Don't Say l
/ Told YOU and will sing several new
songs. Her costumes will have the usual
/ element of novelty, and her own delight
| full personality will ba as fresh and fasci-
mating as when she first made her bow
/ before Wheeling audience.

1t is Said They are Operating In
New Lines.
The professional gamblers of this cit,
are of the opinion that they are being
given very unfair sort of deal by tht
police authorities. 1t may not be knowr
to everybody that there are two classes
of men who earn their living by gaming
devices-the regular professionals anc
the sure-shot men. The former rur
openly, and in q measure, in public places
of resort, where games are played which
involve known percentage. The latter
operate in secret places, on suckers, OF
victims, who usually labor under the
illusion that they are having special ad
vantages offered them in the way oi
chances, but who, in the end are sure to
be fieeced.
When the order was sent out that
the games were to be closed, the regu-
lars all went out of business, and since
that time have been looking for other
lines of employment or have left the city.
1t is an established fact that men will
gamble, if not not in one way in another,
and it is generally said, and apparently
with good cause, that the present ar
offers special advantages to
sure shot men and the "brace" games.
These are conducted behind closed doors,
often in lodging. houses, where the police
are not supposed to hunt.
There are some games that are straight
or otherwise, about which everybody
knows, except the police. 1t is said that
a game has continued without cessation
in spite of the order, at No. IA Main
street, and another on the corner of Third
and Main streets. While the police are
about it, they might wisely, it is said,
try the vicinity Of No. % Commercial
street, and also at the old stand on the
south side of the Courthouse. lfgambllGss

STAR CHAMBER WORK.
Allegations of Fraud Against
Railroads.
NO SHOW FOR REBUTTAL GIVEN.
Legal Officers of the Company Pro
test Against the Work of
the Commission.

| Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
Sr. PAUL, April 24.-One of the last
official acts of the Legislature, which ad-
journed yesterday, was the reference to
the Railroad Commissioners of the testi-
mony collected by the Special Committee
appointed by the Senate to investigate
the alleged false and fraudulent reports
of the railroad companies. This testi-
mony was chiefly given by D. S. Monroe,
accountant, who has been employed by
the st. Paul and Northern Pacific, under
the direction of Major Postleth waite.
Monroe claimed to have made fictitious
entries, to the amount of So, ,0S6. 1851, which
have been 80 ordered by the officials.
Another witness was Major Postlethwaite,
who explained the alleged discrepancies,
which were accounted for by the
business transacted between the Mott
ern Pacific and the Oregon and
Transcontinental companies. General
Mcknight, counsel of the former COM
pany, said to reporter: "The commit
tse refused to have a public investigation
or let us put in any testimony, and held
secret meetings. told the committee
that they had no right to examine the
company's books, but as refusal to al
low them TO do 80 would be practical
plea of guilty, / proposed to give them
free access to the records. The commit
tee examined part of the books and about
ne-thousandth part of the papers. They
agreed to show us the testimony and give
US a chance to rebut it, but we heard
nothing more about it until the report
was made to the Legislature. 1 think
the committee at first thought there was
ething in it, but afterwards came to
the conclusion that it amounted to moth
ing, but wanted to turn the testimony
over to the Railroad Com missioners."
Major Postlewaithe made a similar ex-
planation when interviewed, saying that
he and General Mcknight had asked to
see the charges that they might be an
swered, but the committee declined to
exhibit the charges made by the ex-
clerk, and refused to hold public exam
ination. The next meeting of the COM
mittee was held in the office of the COM
pany, when an exhibit of its accounts
and records was made, part of which the
committee did not examine. The ex-
clerk stated to the committee that he
was employed in the capacity of conf
Dental clerk to the Controller. This
statement was disproved before the COM
nittee when the books of the company
were exhibited, and it was also estab-
lished to the satisfaction of the committee
that he had no definite knowledge of the
details OF the business or accounts of the
corporation. The committee promised
III that in case they believed the result of
their secret investigation made it neces-
they would permit us to read the charges
that had been made, and give us an op-
portunity to refute the same. This prom
ise the committee failed to keep, as the
records of the Senate will show"

His Ire Aroused.

In private letter to a gentleman in
this city, Judge John B. Haskins, who
was swindled by some bunco men at the
Crystal Palace a few weeks ago, says that
he intends to return to Los Angeles as
soon as the case comes on in the Superior
Court for triul.
Friends of the defendants have ex-
pressed the belief that the Judge would
not return to prosecute the charge on
which the men were held. According to
the letter which was shown yesterday,
Judge Haskins's pugnacity has been
aroused in another direction. Some weeks
ago, after his departure for the north,
the Los Angeles Times published an ar
ticle in which the statement was made
by some one purporting to be an init.
mate friend of the Congressman, that
in consequence of partial stroke of par
alysis which he received several years
ago, he was now often out of his mind,
and not responsible for his actions. This
and other remarks made in the body OF
the article, Judge Haskins regards as
libelous, and he declares his intention of
bringing suit for libel against that jour
nal as soon as he returns.

Daylight Robbery.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April PA Ga
zette, Shreveport, La, special says that a
shooting scrape occurred last night in
the Opera Saloon, in which John Fletch-
er, of Marshall, Tex, received fatal
wound at the hands of a young man
named Walter Douglass. The trouble
grew out of the refusal of Fletcher
to join Douglass and two
young men, named Jack Bergman
and John Powers in obtaining money
from an old countryman, named r. E.
Travis, in a dishonest way. All the
parties implicated are in jail, charged
with murder and robbery. They carried
old man Travis out on the Texas road,
beat him and robbed him, and left him
on the side of the road, where he was
picked up and brought to the police sta
tion. He made full statement before
the Mayors court this morning, and
pointed out all the PARTIES.
