THE TERMINALST0CK
THE:pLAN TO ADVANCE THE STOCK
MADE IT DECLINE.
The Calhonu-Engiish Deal supposed Cause
of the TroubIe-President Inmans
Great Faith in Terminal.
Special telegram to the Dlspaich.l


NEw YORK. May Avail street has been
greatly interested in the affairs OF the Rich
mond and West Point Terminal railroad for
the pas, week. and particularly since the
announcement Of its financial plan last
Wednesday. The PRONUNCIATION or the
plan wts expected to have advanced the
price Of the stock on the market, but % tho
surprise Of every one 10 began TO decline.
The directors we're not only surprised but
downright angry. II was plain that some
large holder was selling out on them.
FLOATING TILE STOCK.
The real cause Of the trouble was made
public to-day. On the authority OF d.
rector il is said that John c. Calhoun and
his brother. Patrick Calhoun. who together
owned about $1,000 shares OF the Richmond
Terminl stock. favored the plan of float
inc the proposed new issue OF stock IN
England. Patrick Calhoun ~ now IN Lon
don and had perfected arrangements with
an English syndicate to take S2S,OO0.O1O or
the new issue at So, which Qess commits
sions AMI expenses would only net the
COMPANY about 800 per share. The other
directors in the mean time had made ar
raneemmts which they considered lar
more favorable with American banks
which they adopted.
TIE CALHOCNs Angry.
This. /; seems, made the Calhouns angry
| and they dumped their entire holdings on
the marlet. Il was ct one time reported
that Ger, raj Thomas had also sold out ms
holdings In an interview with Word
reporter he denied the report.
WORTH FORTY.
President Inman's plan makes the pro
perty worth fifteen points more than 1t is
selling ior. lie said: Il consider the
resolution of the board passed Wednesday
preventing any further issue OF the stock.
except a. it may be ordered by majority
vote Of tie stockholders. As great Cuaran-
tee Of its5uture worth. The stock y worth
| forty, aui will sell higher when the Facts
are all fully understood.
John Q Calhoun. when spoken 70
about selling his stock, admitted that he
had sold few shares Of what he called
SPECULATIVE stock that he hal purchased at
about tventy-six. but denied the report
that he aid his brother had sold largely.

ALYxANDEIA, Va, MAY q, 1880.
Commonwealth 's-AttOrncy james j.. Gle
ments, Of Alexandria county. has had a
number Of interviews with Cabinet officers
and congressional committees in relation
TO the condition of the negroes residing on
the old Arlington reservation.
The State and county expended during
the twenty years that succeeded the war
many thousand dollars for the education,
medical attendance, and paupers on this
land, which was in fact no part of this
Commonwealth, but belonged 10 the juris-
diction of the United States. Since the
State withdrew its jurisdiction two years
ago tho reservation has become the sore
place of tue county and testers more and
more every dav. II seems impossible 20
get the United States authorities TO do
ANYTHING to Gmeliorate the condition OF
the negroes there The county authorl-
ties have asked the United States either to
improve the land by establishing an ex-
perimental farm or TO sell it, but nothing
seems likely TO be done at present In re-
gard 10 the matter and Arlington is lapslng
into barbarism.
THE GRAVES DECORATED.

Alexandrians who fell in defence OF Their

Lost Cause"
The ceremonies were under the control
of Lee Camp. Confederate Veterans. and
they were assisted by the ladies. Rev

made most beautiful PRAYER at the monu;
ment. over which flowers were streWn and

had been visited and decorated.

Rv a singular coincidence the Con

the same day that the Federal troops took

WANTS TO WITHDRAW TT.
Miss Webster Sorry She Got o Warrant
for Mr.. Gradwohl.

Miss Matte Webster, the young shop clerk
at the Oriole, who claims to have been slapped
by Able Gradwohl. the son OF the proprietor of
the store. a. stated in last nights STAR, is ap-
psrently sorry that she was SO hasty as to swear
ont . warrant against him. This morning, in
company with her mother, who seems to re-
gret tho publicity the affair has attracted.
she called at the Police Court and attempted
to Withdraw the warrant Mr. Harper, one of
the clerks of the court. who issued the war
rant, informed them that it WAS too late, as the
warrant was already in the hands of the police
and the case would have to come to trial. It is
more than probable, however, that when the
case is called none will appear against Grad
wohl and the charge will necessarily be dis
missed.
Mr.. Able Gradwohl in q letter to The STAR
refers to the matter a foolish child's quarrel
and says: The issuing of the warrant was done
on the 1nstigaton Of a third party, totally dis
interested, but with personal grudge against
myself, who took advantage of this war of
words to vent her spleen. When the proper
persons became aware of the publicity of the
affair they were highly indignant and steps
were at once taken to have the wrong corrected
and the warrant for the arrest withdrawn"

DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.
THE BENNINas BRIDGE BILL


The House act to authorize the construction
OF bridge across the Eastern branch ut Ben
nings has been favorably reported to the
Senate by Senator Faulkner. There was no
amendment to 1t and it was placed on the Sem
ate calendar in place of the Senate bill for the
same object, which had been favorably re-
ported by the Senate District committee some
time ago.
The bill, which will probably be reached by
the Senate before the close OF the session and
thus become Law, provides for a stone or iron
bridge across the Eastern branch at Bennings.
The District Commissioners are charged with
the direction OF the work. which must not cost
more than $50, 900. Half tho cost is to be borne
by the District.
Section of the bill provides "that the Com
missioners Of the District OF Columbia shall, IA
soon as practicable, cause q survey Of said river
to be made to determine the length, width and
height of said bridge and the approaches
thereto, and shall cause plans and speci-
hcations to be prepared for such bridge and
such approaches, and when the same are COM
pleted said board shall advertise for sealed
proposals for the construction of such bridge
and such approaches, which advertisement
shall be inserted for at least one week in one or
more daily papers i'll such cities AZ the said
board Of Commissioners shall designate, and
shall let such contract to the lowest responsible
bidder, rs provided by law"
