In RAILWAY CIRCLES
No Money to be Had for the Deep
Creek Scheme.
THERE MAY BE BY AND BY
Wftcher Jones Says the Deep Creek People
will Get the Ducats as Soon as
Anyone Else.

A HERALD reporter dropped into the
American National bank yesterday after
noon to get MIR. Bacon's ultimatum in re
gard to the success of his negotiations in
the east in behalf of the Deep Creek rail
way.
did you succeed in raising the money
to build the Deep Creek railwayw asked
the reporter.
Mr.. Bacon very courteously replied that
during the present state of the money mar
ket it would be impossible to build any
railroad.
marketm
Everybody was hopeful and predicted
OF money to meet call loans, but
capital is afraid to branch out
into new enterprises. 1 have not
heard OF any new roads being built this
year and had talk with man who had
enough money in bank to build a railroad
last year, but when the financial stringency
81 last fall came on the very men that ad-
yanced it, refused to 70 ahead, as they
could use the money to better advantage
in other ways"
A HBRALD's reporter, meeting Witcher
Jones on the street, asked:
why all this delay?"
Mr.. Jones nerved up considerably and
said:
''Look over the reports of the bourse in
France and the stock exchanges of the
world for yesterday, and you will learn
the cause. Stocks fell from one to five per
cent. all over the world. There has not
been new railroad undertaken in the
United States since the panic of last
October. 1t is all well enough to say that
this and that party will build it, but let
them try to get the money. l rode all
oyer this city with Lyman P. Gage, of the
First National bank of Chicago, and he
told me that it was useless to try to get
money now to build railroads, but that we
would get it as soon as anybody"

The Railway Conductors' Convent,oo

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 13.-To-day's ses
sion OF the convention of the Order of Rail
way Conductors was very important. The
report of the committee appointed last wear
looking to the question OF joining the Fed

taken by the organization.

PROVIDENCE, May 13.-At dinner given
in his honor by the Young Mems Demo-

on the currency question, saying the secre-
tary Of the treasury should be allowed to
buy silver bullion to an unlimited extent,
then issue silver certificates against it or
our certificates, but ought to have safety
value which would stop the process when
the business of the country de-
monstrated the issue of silver had
gone far enough. A maximum of sill
yer beyond outstanding certificates might
be held by the treasury. When 10000 600
mad accumulated it would be a warning
that the business of the country was get
ting more silver than it needed Then let
the purchase Of bullion cease until the sur
plus diminished to 100000, when pur-
chases might begin again.

Edmund Yates Apologies to wales.

Especial to THE HERALD-ExaIniner Cable. I
LONDON, May 13.-Edmund Yates, editor
of the World, apologies in the columns of
that journal for an article that appeared in
it last week, stating the Queen was going
to pay the debts of the Prince of Wales.
The story which is current of his royal
highness' financial difficulties is perfectly
true, but Mr.. Yates has incurred the royal
displeasure by publishing it. The prince
threatened That he would never know Mr.
Yates again and demanded an apology for
its publication. The credit of the younger
members of the royal family is not seem
ingly first class. His royal higness recently
wanted to borrow the sum of e5, OJO and ap-
piled to Sam Lewis, the great money lender,
to obligs him. Mr.. Lewis, however, refused
the request, ana said when spoken to in re-
ference to it: at would be too long to wait
until he came to the throne, and besides it
was too risky"

ANYTHING but Romance I'm Pnmntz, Case

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch.
New YORK, May ia Washington
special to the Herald knocks out all the
romance regarding the death and alleged
wealth of George Pomutz, who recently
died in st. Petersburg. Among the dead
mans friends in Washington was John S.
Bosworth, associated editor of the National
Tribune. The papers discovered by Consul
General Crawford are according to Mr..
Bosworth, absolutely valueless. They
were obtained by fraud and misrepresenta-
tion of the possessor of them during his
life time. Pomutz first came to this
country in 1S4S, an exile from Hungary.
He located with colony of fellow country
men in Decatur county, Iowa. He was the
leader OF the COLONY and was implicitly
trusted by his associates. He was the
only one of the colony who could speak
English. He bought their land for them
and it was in these transactions that he
secured the papers that have recently been
unearthed at ST. Petersburg Entrusted
with the money to pay for the property
and playing upon the ignorance of his
countrymen, he would have the deeds made
out in his own name. The names and
mortgages were obtained in a similar
manner
