GOOD NEWS OF THE THREE C's.
Work of Building Will Soon be Resumed
Philadelphia Capitalists Interested
Too Promising to be Abandoned.

PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-Those in
this city who are interested in the
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
railroad, have about completed ar
rangments for the reorganization of the
road, and floating loan as to so far
complete the road that it will be en-
abled to earn the interest upon its
bonds.
1t is proposed to take the road out of
the hands of the receiver and complete
large portion of it. Those directly in
terested in the roads future some time
ago prepared a plan Of reorganization
and submitted it to the creditors. En-
gineers were sent to Tennessee, Georgia
and other States through which the
road is to run, and the reports they
brought back were so encouraging that
a general agreement to the plan of re-
organization was proposed. During
the week just passed nearly every cred
itor has affixed his signature. Now
only a few small ones have not signed
and these are expected to come in with
in the next day or so.
AS soon as this is done, application
will be made to hand the property
over the stockholders.
The engineers examination resulted
in ascertaining that if between 5000, 900
and 500, ,00o are expended on the road at
once, it can be so far completed that
interest may lie earned upon all bonds
that have been issued.
arrangements have been made,''
said a gentleman heavily interested in
the road, "to borrow the money nee
essary to do this work, and just as soon
as the plan of reorganization goes
through, it will be forthcoming.
1--WE propose to put large force Of
men at work, and before the end Of
the year we Will have several hundred
miles of road in operation and paying
good returns"

the wealthiest men in the Dutch Fork,
"a man, who had under his control fif-
teen plough-boys, and thirty hoe
hands, had terrible bone-felon in the
middle finger of his right hand. He
walked up and down the road before

About two years ago was requested
to investigate a case of sudden death,
says writer in the New York World.
I had often heard of persons dying of
fright, but I was not prepared to be-
lieve it Upon being conducted into
the parlor was informed by the owner,
a wen-known merchant, that his daugh-
ter had died under peculiar circum-
stances. She had arisen in good health
and spirits. While she was seated at
the table talking with her mother, her
brother, who was about to leave for
business, came up behind her stealth
lily and kissed her full in the mouth be-
fore she was aware who it was. The
girl screamed, sunk back in a dead
faint, and when she was brought to
went into commissions, and died before
medical attendance could arrive. The
whole family were of a nervous temper
ament, very excitable, and subject to
hysteria. The autopsy showed that the
girl had been perfectly healthy. Death
was undoubtedly due to a nervous
shock,

An Improved Bullet.

A bullet has just been patented, the
base Of which, as we'll as the body, is
covered by an alloy non-fusible at any
temperature which it is possible to gem
crate in gun barrel. The necessity for
such bullet has been caused by the in
PRODUCTION of nitrated or smokeless
powders, which generate such intense
heat that the base or head Of the bullet
is melted and consequently made ragged.
Accuracy of aim is thus much impaired.
The tendency of late, in the desire to
secure increased accuracy, has been to
diminish the size of the bore and resort
to compressed powders and cased bull
lets, and the new bullet comes in most
opportunely and enables the latest i'm
provements to be utilized.

A Project on Foot to Raise Them In rhIs
Country.
We are assured on what seems good
authority, says the Helena Mont Ga
zette, that the project of importing kan
garoos into this country is seriously en-
tertained by several enthusiastic and
wealthy sportsmen of the West. The
animals have been successfully ac-
climated in England and France, and
we are assured that there is no reason
why they should not thrive here. The
practical extinction Of the buffalo has
left the plains without any big game of
Importance, and experienced sportsmen
declare that hunting the kangaroo, as
practiced in Australia, is second in ex-
citement and interest only to killing the
buffalo. The scheme is not without
commercial Importance. kangaroo
leather is C very valuable product and
the animals breed rapidly. The pro-
moters hope to be privileged to intro
duce the new game at the beginning of
the warm season In the Yellowstone
park, and so insure them for a few
years Government protection and i'm
munity from senseless sportsmen.

Electric Cars for Rheumatics.

Accounts come from st. Louis of the
latest craze in that city, which is to ride
on the electric car to cure rheumatism.
A greater number than would be Inn
agined Of the crowds that fill the elec-
trio cars are people who have the idea
that electricity will cure every ailment
under the sun, and in st. Louis these
adherents of the electric faith propa-
ganda muster especially strong. A con-
ductor on one of the street-car lines is
reported as saying: ''It is amusing to
see passengers on our line eying each
other and whispering to companions
about the new cure for rheumatism. If
a man, woman or child boards a car
with crutch or cane you can hear
whispers to the effect that there is a
rheumatic patient out to test the new
cure" .

He 10 Forbidden to Dispose of the Cincin-
natl Club.
CINCINNATI, OHIO, March 11.--Judge Max
well of the superior court this morning granted
temporary injunction to President Kramer of
the American Base Ball Association in his plea
against Al. C. johnson and T. A. Brunell of
Cleveland. enjoining them from disposing OF
the Cincinnati Base Ball Club and grounds and
asking that a receiver be appointed.
The legal battle has begun in the base ball
field. The Association men have filed petit
ton in the superior court against the League,
Al johnson. F. H. Brunell, Ward, Talcott,
Bruce, Spalding. O'Neill and others. alleging
that the defendants have conspired to divert
from its rightful purposes the property and
rights of the association ut Cincinnati, and that
by fraudulent means they are about to deprive
the plaintiffs of their base ball grounds.
The prayer of the petition is that receiver
may be appointed to settle and determine the
property in question and that the defend
ants be enjoined from entering upon or in any
manner using the base ball grounds Of the as
ISOLATION in this city.
The court, rs stated, granted a temporary
restraining order to give the legal champions
time to get their breath for the war Of words
that must now assail the ear of the Judge. The
hearing upon its merits must await the con-
venience Of the attorneys and of the court, but
in the nature of things it cannot be long de-
layed.
The association delegations have not yet gone
into session. They say the schedule cannot be
ready sooner than tomorrow.

A HOME FOR THE POST OFFICE.

No Indication ~ to what Action the Post
master General win Take.
As yet the Postmaster General has given no
intimstion of what his course Of action will be
with reference TO procuring home for the
city post Office while the building across from
The STAR Office is in course of construc-
ton. In answer to the advertisement CALI
ing for bids to furnish temporary
quarters for the Office four offers
were received and opened at his Office yestsr-
day, as stated in yesterdays STAR. These four
were as follows: The Cyclorama building, on
Ohio avenue and 18th street, at $1,000 per an
mum; 10000 square feet of ground,
with two-story building, opposite the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad depot Of
fered at IS, 500 per annum by Thomas W.
Smith; ground at Northern Liberty Market
with buildings, $4,000 per annum, offered by
tween 9th and 7th streets northwest. with 20, :
800 feet of ground, offered by F. B. Conger,
agent, at 20 to 40 cents per square foot. Mr..
Smith was the only one who made any
remarks when the bids were opened. He
explained his plans which contemplate the
the location is its proximity to one of
the depots. On the other hand its dis
tanoe from the business center of the city
is fully as great as that of the Cyclorama build
ing from tine uepCts. MI. smith guarantees to
have his building ready for occupancy by the
first of July.
A large new building Is to be erected on G
street by syndicate for the use of offices and
several bureaus Of the government. 1t is pro-
posed to lease the first floor and part of the
basement to the city post Office at cost of
about SIC, 600 year. This will give probably
as much room AZ is needed. and in a new build
ing for less than il would cost to stay where the
Office now is.
One thing is certain-the Office must move.
The owners of the present Office did not make
bid and do not seem at all anxious whether or
not they keep their present tenant. If the
Office stays they will raise the rent after
the close Of this fiscal year and besides
it will be necessary to make additions, for the
building is already overcrowded. This would
bring the rental up in the neighborhood OF
$4,000 a year-mOre than for the G street
property.
Postmaster Sherwood today received a letter
Of suggestion. This plan was for the erection
Of post Office in the square north Of the
Smithsonian grounds, between 10th and 18th
streets, now used as hay market The writer
evidently did not know that Mr.. Wanamaker
might not do such thing even if he wished,
for it would require an act of Congress to au-
thorize him to make use of public reserva-
ton.

He Drives Over the Twenty Mile Course
Agreed Upon.
LONDON March 11.-When Lord Shrewsbury,
annoyed at the receipt Of a telegram from Lord
Lonsdale upbraiding him for failing to appear
for the novel driving match, about which
so much has been said, withdrew entirely
from the contest Lord Lonsdale
decided to drive over the course alone. He
did so today and covered the twenty miles in
in IS minutes IS As seconds. The stakes,
which had been forfeited by Lord Shrews-
bury's withdrawal from the match. had been
previously handed over to charitable institu-
lions by Lord Lonsdale.
The conditions of the match, it will be re-
membered, were that the two lords should
drive one horse each for five miles; two horses
each for the next five miles: four horses each
for the third five miles, and finally ride and
drive two horses each in harness, position
fashion, for the last five miles of the twenty
miles course.
Lord Lonsdale covered the first half of the
course in twenty-six minutes. He lost twenty
seconds owing to the fact that the road was
blocked with snow. At the finish, which was
accomplished in splendid style, Lord Ions
dale received an ovation from his friends and
from the crowd Of people who had gathered to
see him accomplish his novel feat.

The Case of Judge kincaid, Who Shot Repre-.
sentative Taulbee, to Come Up Next Monday.
In the Criminal Court Judge Hagner, this
afternoon Judge Wilson and Mr.. C. Maurice
Smith, who, with Gen. Grosvenor and Senator
Voorhees,, appear for Judge C. E. kincaid,
under indictment for the murder of ex-Repre-
sentative Taulbee, February %, 1890, called at
tention to the case. Mr.. Smith read a dispatch
from Senator Voorhees, who is under treatment
at Hot Springs, Ark, stating that his playsc ian
decides that in order that he may completely re-
cover from his rheumatism he must remain
there sixty days. Mr.. Smith said they were
compelled to ask a postponement till June
next-the case having been fixed for the 18th
instant.
District Attorney Cole said that as much as he
would like to accommodate Senator Voorhees,.
he felt compelled to object to such continuance,
especially as he was only one of the counsel
employed. Besides a number Of witnesses had
been sent for, some Of whom were probably on
their way here.
Judge Wilson urged that the court grant the
application.
PosTPoNEMENT DENIED.
Judge Hagner said while he was sorry for
the absence Of Senator Voorhees, he could not,
when the case had been pending over year
and the defendant represented by three other
counsel. grant the motion, and it was overruled.
