jay Gould Interviewed.

Special to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, Dec. S.-Preliminary ar
rangements fer the western railroad agree
ment are practically completed. The
meeting for perfecting an agreement will
be held at the home of j. Pierrepont Nor
gan one week from to day, the 18th. Presi-
dent Huntington, of the Southern Pacific,
has signed the agreement and the execu-
tive committee eff the Rock Island has sig
nified it's concurrence. The Burlington &
Quincy and the Alton are the only roads
which have not formally announced their
willingness to join in the agreement.
1.-THE agreement will go through without
hitch,'' said Jay Gould tonight. "Once
it is adopted, it will not be question of
asking dissenting roads to join but as to
whether they be permitted to join. There
will be no receiver for the Union Pacific
The road has an income of 100000 a
month and in good times it's obligations
would give it no trouble. The floating
debt is taken care of. The former manage
ment bought IS, 900 tons of steel rails and a
lot of tirst-class equipment but made no
provisions for paying for that. l spent all
last week and neglected my own individual
interests in Strengthening this matter out.
Some of the concerns which furnished the
new material would have failed had not a
change been made in the management of
the road We raised the money and paid
them"

Ayers Place.

[SpccIal TO THE HERALD-ExamlEer Dispatch)
NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The Thirty seventh
street Methodist Episcopal church, which
has been undergoing repairs, was reopened
yesterday. Popular interest conferred in
the service of the afternoon, the feature OF
which was the dedication of the Grant
memorial window. Mrs. Grant and Mr..
Ulysses S. Grant and his children were
present, occupying seats in the front of the
house.
Ample justice was done to the memory OF
General Grant in the evening meeting by
the Rev. Bishop John P. Newman. DIR.
Newman preached the memorial sermon,
which he particularly addressed to dele
cation, one hundred strong, from the U. S.
Grant post, Graud Army of the Re-
public of Brooklyn. He spoke from
his knowledge of General Grants
character and life. and portions of his adj
dress were thrillingly interesting. There
were many fearful eyes as he told the story
of Grants conversion and baptism.
| "One evening" said DR.. Newman, Zen
tering the room where General and Mrs.
| Grant were seated, / said, General, three
hundred Methodist churches in New Jersey
stood up to-day and prayed for you"
Yes said the general, 1 have heard that
a number of men and women in Boston
have banded themselves together to pray
for me ana little children have sent IN 9
notes saying they have added my name TO
the names of their papas and mammas in
their prayers And then saw his big grey
eyes fill with tears. What do you say.

versal petition.'"
1t was while they prayed, DR.. Newman
said, that the general became converted
man and in deep, solemn voice uttered re-
peated ''amens" TO the petition that was
offered in his behalf. The baptism took
place, DIR. Newman said, at a time when, in
the opinion of attending physicians, it was
thought the general had but five minutes
to live though as a matter of fact death d,
that time was so remote that the genera
lived to go on and complete the story Of his
life

MRS. MACKAY'S EARLY CAREER.

vertsements in the London papers offering
reward for information concerning the
Identity of certain persons in London who
had circulated unpleasant rumors concern
ing Mrs. Mackay's early career. The ex-
PLANTATION of this circumstance furnishes an
amusing illustration OF the facility with
which rum0r augments itself under favor
able conditions. 1t seems that u lady OF
higL position near court, Mrs. Chain, some
years ago was annoyed by the escapade of
favorlte maid who ran away from her
employer and her home and went TO New
York with wealthy Australian not un-
known to the turf. Her mistress, in
terested in the girls fate, heard she had
eventually gone to the Pacific coast and
there married Scotchman or Irishman by
the name of Mackdy. When Mrs. j. w.
Mackay first came TO London and attracted
the attention of fashionable society by
giving splendid entertainments, some
thoughtless or ill-uatured person in Mrs.
Chains circle of friends threw out the
query as to whether the Mr.. Mackay
wohse name was then in allpeople's mouths
as the silver king in America could possibly
be the person VINO was reported to have
married Mrs. Chains maid.
Who this person was do not undertake
to say, although 1t is attributed to two not
very prominent men more or less addicted
to fashionable gossip. But as in the case
of the three black crows, the query once
started went from mouth TO mouth until II
grew into an assertion, and it was so Otter
I repeated that it came at last to the knowl
edge OF Mrs. Mackay as proceeding from {

A Sensational Murder Trial at Cheyenne.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. ESPECIAL tele-
gram To THE HERALD. l-Of about forty
sensational murder trials had in this city
il the last ten years, none has carried so
much interest IS that of the state VS..
Charles Miller, which opened to-day. A
jury was not secured till evening. Ten
witnesses have been examined, bringing
out the story of the box car mystery. Ross
Fishbaugh and Waldo Emerson, two young
men Of ST. Joseph, Mo-, left home and DO
sitions at that place last September to try
their luck in Colorado. They expressed
trunks and valises to Denver, and with a
fund of S120 essayed to beat their
way. At Grand Island, Neb., they
were joined by Charles Miller, an
impecunious, dishonest and witless
professional boy tramp, now sixteen years
old. Soon after entering Wyoming as the
occupants of a box car Miller shot his
companions as they slept. One died at
once; the other survived several hours but
was never conscious. Emerson it was
who ceased living at once and Fishbough
received his fatal wound standing when, as
Miller said she fell like hog.m Miller left
the freight at the station twenty miles east
Of Cheyenne and boarded passenger for
Cheyenne. He went from there to Man

Window ON the Financial situation.

New York, Dec. S.-The Sun prints
long report of an interview on the financial
situation held by It's Washington CORES
pondent with Secretary Window. The
secretary says the treasury department is
doing all it can to relieve the present strin-
gency and will continue On the same line Of
policy followed to this time. The strin-.
gency, he says, is not the result of a con-
Jractol of the currency, and there has
never been time in the governments MS
Tory in an era of peace when so much
money was flowing out of the treasury into
the country. Tae treasury Las put out
over 100000 ,00O within he last nineteen
months with no appreciaole effect, and ne
thinks the money is boarded. The 500,
600, 900 in gold held as legal tender reserve
will never be disturbed with his consent.
He might possibly call out the $4,000, OOO

not think this would be very popular
proposition at the present time In con-
ciusion, he says whatever he may do to-
ward altering the uneasine5 in monetary

Minister Carrier IaIks

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Carter, minister
from Hawaii, left the city tonight for San
Francisco to consult with King Kalakaua
To a reporter he expressed the belief that
the story from San Francisco that the King
is here on mission of annexation is an ab-
surd invention. He said: 1.-THE Kings, L
am free to say, is anxious for an extention
of the reciprocity plan to all the products
of the island, and it is no doubt on that
subject that he wants to talk to me. He is
firm believer in the benefits of general
reciprocity and eager to see it consum-
mated. Ishould be glad, also, if the thing
could be done, but do not think it wise to
take any steps in that direction at present
in view of the attitude of political parties.
The late election effectually blocks US for
the present"

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The treasury de-
partment to-day purchased 6S5,000 ounces
of silver at from 81 ,O2S to Sl1, $50.
The amount of per cent. bonds accepted
to day was s4 SOL 900 for which disburse-
ment of about S5,550,00O in money will be
made The secretary of the treasury said
this afternoon in view of existing condi-
tions he would accept an additional offer
of as at a reasonable price, of sufficient
amount to make the total purchase $4,000,
600 for which he said the expenditures
would be nearly S10,000,000. The secre-
tary said further it is manifestly impossi-
Bile under existing conditions for him to
use the fractional currency now in the
treasury in the purchase of bonds for the
reason that it would at once be returned to
him in exchange for greenbacks and leave
him with deficiency instead Of surplus.
