On the list OF March, the.C. & q. R3y. CO.
will take possession Of the nine miles OF
track between Gordonsville and Orange,
leased from the Richmond & Danville sys-
TEN, and will on April lst commence rum
ming one freight and two passenger trains
a day each way over it to and from Alex
andria. At Alexandria arrangements have
been made with the Washington Southern
Ry. to use its tracks into Washington city.
To avoid accidents in the joint use OF the
road between Alexandria and Orange by
the G. & 0. and Richmond 81 Danville, the
''blocll" system will be introduced, with Il
! signal every four miles. and no train can
enter that four miles of track until it is
/ clear.

1t is now said that the Ohio River, Charles

ex-senator Camden has made a change in
his programme; that he will not build his
road to Covington, Allegheny county, but
will run it from where the Cranberry river
enters the Gauley in Webster county, and
follow the Gauley river to the Chesapeake

The successful organization of a syndi-
cate in Baltimore to subscribe funds for
the completion Of the Roanoke Southern
Railroad to Roanoke, was announced at the
Baltimore Stock Exchange last week. The
amount, understood to be something like
%600, 900, was readily subscribed, and the
promoters OF the syndicate stated that sub
scrlptions were offered in excess of the
amount wanted. This looks as if Balti-
more was after q Southern connection and
might extend the Valley BY. to meet the
Roanoke Southern, to accomplish it.
The mixed train which left HarrisonbuTg
Sunday afternoon, the 18th, was wrecked
near Harper's Ferry. The passenger car

Much to the surprise of everybody, the con-
tinued bad weather has failed to affect the hay
market in the least degree. 1t had been thought
that if we could have hard winter the de-
mand (and the price, for hay would improve.
We have had the bad winter, and we are still
having it. and contrary to all expectations
hay is dull and deci5n6Ag.
Wheat is higher. 1t has passed the dollar
mark this week and is wanted by millers at

sale near Staunton it ranged in price from rs

tuated somewhat but the decline has been
about recovered, and we report them as I'M

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The Court of
Claims expects to begin work on the In
dian depredations claims by the first of
May. The initiatory steps have already
been taken in over one hundred cases.
This consists of the claimant or attorney
notifying the court that certain case
will be filed. None have been filed yet
under the recent Act. AS the court must
first formulate the rules of practice, the
members of the court are now engaged in
preparing these rules.
Most of the claimants live in the far
West, and they will hire attorneys resi-
dent of Washington to represent them.
The curbstone shyster lawyer in Wash
ington is preparing for this great feast.
The law happily limits their fee in each
case to 10 per cent. of the amount secured,
else the claimant would have to be con-
tent with the satisfaction of winning his
suit, while the more substantial benefit
would go in lawyers fees.
The Indian Bureau has passed upon
6,5l9 cases, and these it is thought, can be
disposed of by the court with facility.
The bureau has before it three thousand
claims to be yet considered.
a member of the court said to-day that
the claimants should bear in mind that
those losing their property by Indian
depredations between July l., 1865, and
March 8, 1891, would be allowed only
three years III which to file their claim.

New YORK, March 19.-O'Kelly, Red
mond and Harrison, agents of Parnell,
tonight addressed their first meeting to
raise money for the Parnellites. Twenty
five hundred to three thousand persons
attended the meeting, which was held in
Cooper Union. Michael Breslin presided
at the meeting. John Dewey was also
upon the platform.
O'Kelly, in a speech, attributed the ne
cessity of the appeal for money to the fact
of ParnelPs dispute with the other faction
of the Irish party. and the consequent
tying up of the 100000 emergency fund
in Paris. He adjured his hearers to con-
tribute if they wished an independent
Irish party in Parliament.
Referring to the Irish party differ
ences, he said that when the question
comes to be settled in Ireland some facts
not known by the public will be de-
veloped.
Redmond and Harrison spoke briefly.
The mention of Healy and McCarthy's
names were greeted with cries of Judas
and misses.

Letters Interrogatory Issued in the
Case OF Barnard VS.. Lee.
Boston, March 19.-Judge Colt, of the
United States Circuit Court, has made an
interesting decision in the case of Leon
Barnard VS.. Henry Lee and others, pro-
prietors of the Union Safe Deposit
Vaults, to recover the value of S15O, 900 of
securities belonging to the Bishopric of
Journal, Belgium. The securities were
brought here and deposited by Barnard.
They were afterward delivered by the de-
fendant to the Clerk of the Massachusetts
Supreme Court under order of the court
in the suit brought in Barnard's name,
but which he asserts was without his con-
sent or knowledge.
Judge Colts decision grants the defend
ants motion that the court issue letters
interrogatory to the court at Journal to
take the dispositions of the Bishop of
Tournai and his Vicar-G eneral, and that
letters interrogatory issue to take the
deposition of NJ. de Mot and NJ. Bour-
geois, the latter a Commissary of Police
at Brussels.
The letters interrogatory are novel, and
this is the first time that they have ever
been issued by the Circuit Court for this
circuit, and are perhaps the first that have
ever been issued from any Circuit Court
OF the United States in any action at law.

Maurice Healy VIII Contest the CITY
of Cork With ParneIl.
LONDON, March 19.-The acceptance by
Maurice Healy of the challenge given by
Parnell, in his enthusiasm of mis- st. Pat
rick's Day reception, to contest the CITY
OF Cork, has been received with delight
by his followers, the McCarthyites and
English Liberals. Although the voice of
the city seems to be for Parnell, the Nc
Carthyites claim that a majority of voters
are against him.
They further claim that his adherents
include nearly all those whose names
were stricken off the voting list at the
late scrutiny Of voters. The Bishops
throughout Ireland have already been re-
quested by telegraph TO aid in the coming
contest financially and with their moral
support, and 1t is stated that at meeting
of the McCarthyites committee was ap-
pointed to solicit funds for the struggle
AT this moment, however it is not GER
tain that Mr.. Parnell will enter the field.
Healy has requested Parnell to name the
day when they shall resign, and hopes
Parnell will not resort to the tactics of
committee-room No. l5 and the Boulorrle
conference to escape the Judgment of The
people.
