L. g. MS NEW DEAL.
A Statement of It's Advantages to the
Road.

New York, Sept 24.-Wall street got
wind early yesterday morning of the fact
that there was to be considerable increase
in the capital of the Louisville and Nash
Vile railroad, and before any official an
nouncement was made room traiers of the
stock exchange. putting q bad interpreta-
tion on the rumor, made pretty share
drive at the stock Later in the day, how
ever, resident Morton's official circular,
fully explaining the programme was given
out, which Immediately changed the temper
of speculation and sent the stock booming
to 791[ the highest price 1t has touched for
several years.
FALLS OFF TWO POINTS.
This morning the stock made other dip
Immediately after the market opened, ,decllt-
ing two full points from yesterdays top
price. This drop is supposed to have been
occasioned bv selling orders from London,
owing to a lack of understanding over there
OF the proposed issue Of additio al stock.
The plan as explained by President Nor
toms circular, Is now widely commended
and pronounced by the best authorities In
Wall street to be conservative, expedient
and eninently wise.
THE PLAN.
1t is simply this: Al a directors meeting
held in this city yesterday resolutions were
unanimously adopted, recommending to
the stockholders that the capital stock be
increased SIS, 600, 900 and that tho same be
disposed of by the directors in such manner
and upon such terms as they may deem
best for the interests OF the COM
pany and that the proceeds be
applied expressly and solely 10 the retire
ment of S1O,00O,0O0 per cent. collaterals
trust mortgage bouds and such other in
terest bearing obligations as may be Of
greatest advantage. BY retiring these
b lnds the annual fixed charges of the COM
pany will be reduced s600,000 in interest
and 800, 900 by discontiuuance OF the
present sinking fund requirement.
WILL RELEASE SECURITIES.
It also will release about $4,000, 900 of
securities now held in trust to secure the
aforesaid bonds. The great advantages
flowing to the credit of the company and
the improved probability of an early re-
turn to cash dividends by this programme
are too apparent to need any argument
other than its intelligent announcement.
The plan will be submitted at the annual
meeting of tue stockholders to be held Oct.
2, and will no doubt be adopted.

ELECTIONS IN TENNESSEE.
a Lively Fight over the New Registra-
ton Laws.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Sept 24-The
last legislature of this state passed two
laws to regulate registration. The first is
known as the registration law and the
second as the Dortch bill. The registration
law applies to cities of a certain size and
include Memphis, Knoxville and Chatta-
noga and only two counties-Shelby and
Davidson. The Dortch bill prescribes
method similar to the Austrian plan, voters
teing required to select and mark off from
the ticket the name Of such party
as they desire TO vote for, thus necessi-
tating their ability to read. Ever since
the passage of these laws the republicans In
the cities and C unties mentioned have
been opposing them, and though no formal
protest was MED at the registration books
in this city and Nashville, recently closed
preparatory to the municipal electi ms,
two bills were filed here to-day challenging
the constitutIonality of the acts, both IN
the federal court of the state and in the
chancery court of the state. The bill in
the federal court is sworn to by five negroes
who make their mark, aud who claim that
they cannot read and would, therefore, be
disfranchised by the action of the D0rtch
law.
ON WHAT THE SUIT is BASED.
The suit is brought under the first section
of the fourteenth amendment to the United
States constitution as to the jurisdiction of
federal courts, aud under TIE same section
as to the right of state to abridge the
privileges and immunities of citizens of the
United States. 1t is asserted in the bill
that both laws are in violation of the United
States constitution, and, therefore, that the
complainants have a right to appeal to the
federal court for relief A bill in chancery
is filed under article T. section l, CT
the state constitution, which guarantees
to every citizen of the state complying
with its requirements as~to citizenship tae
right to vote. and ''no qualification shall be
required except the payment of the poll
tax" The bill also pleads that the requisi-
tion law is special or class legislation affect
ing only part of the citizens OF the state and
not others. A municipal election is pending
in this city under the new laws, and the
filing of these bills has created considerable
sensation, as the purpose is to prevent an
election under these laws. The judges
have not yet granted restraining injurc-
tions.
United States District Judge, D. M. Key,
refused to issue an order on the bill attack
ing the Dortch, act on the ground that the
matter did not come under his jurisdiction.

Kemp Apt to Recover After Imprison-
ment for 1O8 Hours.
QUEBEC, Sept. 24-At 8 o'clock this
morning the laborers at work at the ruins
caused by the recent land slide heard a
slight moan under heap of wreakage, and
digging vigorously soon reached Joseph
KEMP When extricated Kemp, VINO is ~
years of age, was still able to speak, after
having been buried los hours. Father
Mccarthy administered the sacrament to
the apparently dying man, Kemp answer
ing to the PRAYERS Sbimulapts were adj
pinistered, and hopes are now entertained
that Kemp will recover. Intense excite
ment prevails, and the full force OF the city
and river police have hard work to keep
back the crowds
woMAN's CORPSE.
Shortly after Kemp was taken out the
corpse of Mrs. ODowd, aged 72 years, was
recovered. The body was badly mutilated.
Mrs. O'Dowd was rocking a cradle and
knitting stocking when the avalanche OF
rock came down. She was knocked through
q window and killed. Wien found her
hands still held her knitting work. The
coroner's inquest into the cause of the death
of the fortyeight victims, who lost their
lives in the disaster, was opened at IL
o'clock to-day.
HENRY's BODY FOUND.
This afternoon the remains Of John Henry
were found under the ruins The body was
doubled in two and sp1nters Of all sizes were
sticking in the flesh. The shoulder was
broken in, and the lower part Of the back
was torn open, the kidneys hanging out.
The body Of Hsnry's wife was fotiad few
feet away. She had in her hand pieces of
broken plates and fork. She died while
preparing her husbands supper.
Kemp is doing we'll tonight. The work
of clearing away the debris is still going on
with vigor. There are still from ten to
twelve bodies under the ruins.
Evidence given at the inquest to-day
tends to sho y clearly that the recent slide
could have been guarded against by prop
erly repairing the cracks ia the cliff some
years ago A tremendous boulder, weigh
ing several tons, was chained to the noun
tain with an inch chain, and an inch board
covering hid the other defects and danger
from the public.
