STATEN BLAND BRANCH.
The Latest Movements of the Baltimore
and Ohio Road.

BALTIMORE, March 4.-The Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad has arranged TO run the
first trains ove' its Staten Island branch
this week, and for a time Q considerable
part of the heavy freight to and from New
York will be hauled by that route. Two
covered piers and q bulkhead have been
built at st. George for the accommodation
of steamers, and the loading and unloading
OF exported and imported irieghts can now
be done much more conveniently and expe-
ditiously than formerly. The trains can run
out on the piers, and transfers Of cargoes
can he made almost directly. The same
business is now handled at the Baltimore
and Ohio's two piers in the North river
snd one in the East river, and freight over
the road hes hitherto gone by way Of Jer-
ssy City. 1t is the intention at present
not to use the new branch for passenger
trafc, although it lie said this may come
later on. The time from Philadelphia to
Jersey City and st. George is about the
same. The new route leaves the jersey
Central between Crawford and Rosflle
Stations, and runs over high trestles a
large part of the way to the Arthur Kill
bridge, where il connects with the lines

for the place. East Liverpool, Ohio, and
Tren; ID. the two leading pottery centres
OF the United Ststes, locked horns for the
distinction OF being represented in the con-
sulate, most closely identified in England
with the pottery industry, and between
these rival claims the President was disin-
clined to decide. The United States
Association of Manufacturing Potters then
took hand with the view of efscting q
compromise, but for time named nobody
to suit both eides. When Mr.. Burgess was
proposed, however, Eist Liverpool .at once
withdrew her choice and Trenton followed
suit. Mr.. Bargess, who had previously
declined to enter the contest, then con-
sented to accept. The circumstance that
more particularly prompted his selection
was that he tas been chairman OF the Gus

LOUISVILLE, March 4.-Wm. H. Pope,
teller of the Louisville City National
Bank, trusted employe, man of seem
ingly good habits, and frsquenter of the
hest social circles of this city. is gone.
His absence at The bank yesterday morn
ing at first excited no suspicion. as it waE
supposed he was st his sick SISTERS bed
side, or in the country detained by the
flood.
When 10 word was received at 1890,
President James S. Pirtle, Vice President
James Lsech and Cashier W. S. Parker
became suspicious. They opened the
vault, and a has.y examination showed
that somewhere between SAC. 900 and 500, =
600 were gone. The missing money was
all large bills The bulk in gold and sill
yer coin and small bills w.s left intact.
1t will require careful examination TO
state the entire amount that Pope took
with him. At first his friends would not
believe that Pope had gone wrong, but the
action of the bank officials soon left no
doubt about the matter. Detectives and
friends began to search, thinking possibly
be was still in the city. He could no, bs
found, and soon the reporters discovered
the bank robbery. As usual they furnish
ed the detectives the first clew, and fur

II is thought Pope left Saturday after
noon, on the Grand Trunk. for Detroit and
Windsor, which he could have reached in
safety By 10 O'Clock Sunday night. He

usual gentlemanly greeting, Good even
ing If any one wants me send TO my
room or telephone" He was wearing his
overcoat. His hands hung carelessly al
his side, and he must have had the money
then, ss he could not have returned before
taking the train.
Popa is native of this State, and 80 years
old, His father, Wallace Pope, resides
eight miles out the arrow gauge rail-
road. He entered the bank in 1881 as Q
clerk and was rapidly promoted. He had
been leading a DR.. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

was sn unusually quiet young gentleman

CLAYTON, N. NJ, March 4.-For some
time it has been rumorei that mocnsbiners
we're at work in No Mans Land, 40 miles
north Of here.
News has just beeu received OF the
seizure of three large distilleries, with q
large amount of machinery and whisky,
by United States officers. The distilleries
were doing an enormous business, not only
supplying the neutral strip and New Mex
leo with whisky, but also shipping hun
dreds of barrels into that portion Of Kan
sas that surrounds No Mans Land.
The fact that they were doing large
business is proven by the announcement
that the parties running the places, and
who supposed they were sale from inter
ference by the government, were making
arrangements to enlarge their plants. The
material was already upon the ground.
