A BIG RAILKOAD FAILURE.
The c., w. & h. Road Goes u
the Elume.


CINCINNATI, December 31.-Applica-
ton was made this morning before
Judge Peck, of the Superior Court, for
the appointment Of receiver for the
Cincinnati, Washington and Baltimore
Railroad. The Judge appointed Colonel
Orland Smith, who has been President
OF the road, and Henry G. Yergason,
Vice of the Merchants Ma
tional Bank Of this city, as joint receiv-
ers. The petition was filed by the
Farmers Loan and Mortgage Company,
creditors of the company. The bill al
leges failure to pay any interest, that it
| is insolvent. The il debtedness on
which the suit is brought is ths first issue
of bonds of the amount of 100000.
On this is accrued interest OF $330,000
The Baltimore and Ohio road, repre-
sented in the action, acquiesced in the
proceedings. 1t has claim for $3.50, 900
interest. A judgment was entered some
| time ago against the company for 81 $780,
900 in favor of the Chesapeake and Ohio
company. The bonded Indebtedness of
the road is $l4, 705 ,O0O Unpaid coupons
due amount to $710,S42, with interest
from the time they fell due. The earn
ings of the road since its organization
have fallen short of meeting the fixed
charges in the sum of $232 600. Its in
debtedness in interest warrants during
the proceedings for organization prior to
1888 is $665, 800, making its present in
debtedness nearly 81 100000, and to-
morrow this will be increased by coupons
falling due to the amount of 500, 900. The
company also issued 81 800, 900 income
bonds in addition to the indie btedness be-
fore mentioned. The receivers were put
in possession Of the road and authorized
to proceed with its management.

PHILADELPHIA, December 81. The
mystery surrounding the finding Of the
mutilated remains of the murdered man
in East Fairmount Park on Wednesday
last has been solved. The corpse
is identified and the murderer
put in prison. The murder Is
shown to have been diabolical one.
The motive for the deed was to obtain
the money of the murdered man, but all
that the murderer is known to have real
lied by his crime is $50. Through a
published portrait of the dead man, the
body is recognized as that OF Antoine
Schilling, and the murder is traced to
Jacob Schroop, partner of Schilling in a
small grocery. The hatchet, axe and
saw used by Schroop were found In the
cellar of his house this morning covered
with blood. The body was carried
into the cellar, where it was evidently
allowed to remain until the following
morning, when after having been cut to
pieces it was placed in bags and removed
to the place where found. The wooden
floor, with which portion of the cellar
is covered, is so bloodstained in many
places that it resembles a slaughter
house. Schroops' wife, who is prostrated
on account of her husbands arrest, is in
the custody of the officers and will likely
be removed to a hospital until she re-
covers from the shock, when it is likely
she too will be placed behind the bars on
q charge of having had hand in the
murder. -,
Schroop has confessed. The police de,
cline to give details. His wife and
daughter are under guard, believed te
be accessory to the crime.

RAILROAD RACKET.
Roads Heading WestWard-A Zig
Strike Threatened.

CHICAGO, December 31.-The move
ments of new company that is prepar-
ing to build a line of railroad from Sioux
City through Nebraska and Wyoming to
Ogden, Utah, and which is alleged to be
in the interest of the Illinois Central TO
afford this company western outlet from
Sioux CITY, have stirred up the Union
Pacific. II is authoritatively stated that
the latter is behind the work now being
done between Sioux City and Norfolk,
Nebraska, to which point the Union
Pacific has branch tapping the main
line at Columbus. Extensive right OF
way purchases recently have been made
bstween Sioux City and Norfolk and
should the new company carry out its
announced intention to begin work early
in the spring, the Union Pacific will
bank up the track between the two
points and begin business at least year
before the transcontinental line could
get in shape. The Union Pacific man
ayers claim they will be forced to build
the new line in order to protect their
business in northwestern Nebraska. 1t
is claimed that the Chicago and North
western will join hands with the Union
Pacific to concentrate the trade of that
section.

that unless this boycott is discontinued

NEVADA, Cal, December 3l.-In the
case OF the recount vote for Sheriff,
Judge Walling this morning decided that
according to the recount of the ballots

From the Body.

From the Body.
The body of Samuel Devoe, Pullman
car porter who was killed at Jersey City
Friday night. arrived in the city this morn
ing, and was taken in charge of by the
widow of the deceased.
Devoe formerly lived in Clay alley, but a
few months ago broke up housekeeping and
since then his wife has been boarding with
relatives at Penn station. About three
weeks ago he secured employment with the
Pullman Company. but had no regular run.
He was to have gone out on No. 9 from
Jersey City Friday night, but was late when
the car left the sheds. He ran down from
the station and attempted to board the car
while it was in motion. He grasped the
handrail, but in, stepping on his foot
slipped and the weight Of his body threw
him between the two cars. He fell down
with part of his body on the track. Before
he could pull his head out the wheels of his
car passed over it. The head was cut from
the body and was picked up from the track
in amutilated condition.
The body was not otherwise disfgured
and was taken charge of by the Pullman
Company. They shipped it to this city and
will bear the expense of the interment.

eight saloons in the ward.
Gustave Wehrstedt, Cass avenue, thinks
there should be five in the ward. His, of
course, and Mrs. Sweeney, a few doors away,
another. The Court said he would think about
the case.
Frederick Artz, Saw Mill Run Valley plank
road, has house which is great resort for
farmers.
Jacob Born did not apply last year. He did
not think 1t necessary. His Honor said he
would think about it.
Joseph P. CARRIER of 62I< Charles street, did
not apply last year. He now tends bar for Max
Schneider. His case is to be considered:
Mr.. Born was recalled. He said club met
at his house, but he slapped it last August
Fred A. Orth is not doing anything at pres
ent. He is about a square from Born's. His
case was soon concluded.
UNNECESSARY, BUT WANTS 1T.
JAMES Craig, 5l5 California avenue. was re-
fused a license last year. He says he does not
think license is necessary, as everybody sells
in that neighborhood. He may get one him.
self.
Charles Loresch, of Shady avenue, was re-
fused license last year. A singing corpora
ton" meets at his house. They get five or six
kegs week. He drives beer wagon now, and
had better hold on to his job.
Benjamin Schar, Brighton road, now lives
on Chestnut street and proposes to 20 to
Brighton road if he gets license. He will un.
doubtedly remain on Chestnut street.
Fred Volght, ia Mcclure avenue, was re-
fused license last year. He could not
answer His Honor's questions, as he could not
speak the English language. Judge White said
he would not grant license to man who
could not speak the language.
Leopold Hillenger, Twelfth ward, has not got
license, and may get one.
Charles Geitz, 232 East street. is another man
who is doing nothing. He was refused last
year. His case will be considered.
Andreas Spath, 259 East street, now has
saloon and may be allowed to keep it.
Peter Bedel, of Ravine street, does not pos
sess license and will not likely get one.
Joseph Hack, of 106 Lowrie street, lives in
house. Judge White said he got letter from
child of one of his victims. His case is q
doubtful one
Mary Hoelscher, Lewis street, will have a
case considered.
SUCH is RENowN.
Charles NJ. Koch, 40 Lowrie street, was being
examined. Judge White got Father Molling-
er's name twisted into Father Mulligsn. Such
is fame! His Honor then gave a short dis
course on adulterated beer.
Martin ]. Laurent, 153 Return street, was the
last one to be examined. Mr.. ChrIsty got in .
parting shot, but it did no harm. He asked who
owned the property, as his wife owned the
property. Judge White said this was allowa-
able. His wife did not get license last year,
but he has good chance this year.
A son of Mr.. Frank Wolff wished to be heard
in his fathers stead, who is dead. The Court
learned that his wife willed him the property
when she died, and he controlled it only while
living. 1t then reverted to the children. As
they did not make application, it was decided
as Illegal to hear Mr.. Wolff.
Jacob A. Klifhan, 1924 Station avenue, Pitts
burg who was not present when the ward was
called, was also refused hearing.

A Cow Thnt Remembers the War spoiIs a
Ball Game by n Catch.
The gentle peace of Woods Run was dis
turbed yesterday afternoon by the unex-
pected debut of frisky COW. An old farmer
named Brown, living near the run, brought
the old animal to town for the purpose of
negotiating sale and to also see little
busy city life.
The COW is lame in one leg, and was being
led along Preble avenue. On vacant lot
near Superior street number of little boys
were playing ball. The COW, espying the
game, broke away from Brown and made of
toward the boys with speed not looked for
from an animal crippled and infrm.
The urchins all scrambled over a con-
venient fence, with the exception of John
Brady, who could not climb rapidly. The
COW caught the boy and threw him over the
fence with considerable force. Brady had
his arm broken by the fall. The COW was
at last caught and returned to the owner,
who remarked that "Old Susie was never so
friskysome as that since the war" DR..
Seheffer attended young Brady.
