C,lh un As first vice president Of the Rich
-sond and Danville Railroad Company has
taken such shane that Mr. Calhoun's name
VII be withdrawn. as it is apparent that no
would not be confirmed by the Danville
hoard. The impression prevails that more
experienced railroad manager is deemed ne
ces,arv. and as Mr.. Calhoun's abilities have
not been tested IN this direction he was OPP
nosed for so important a position IN the man
aeement Of the property.
Mr.. d. Piorrepont Morgan was waited on
Yesterday ly some well known railway presi-
dents. who wanted his vows upon the fnan-
cal situation 70 them Mr. Morgan said that
An his opinion there was nothing the matter
with the situation. Every twenty -four hours
showed Improvement and the promise was
for continued improvement. lie believed the
crop outlook was bringing all the confidence
wanted by the business community. The
TAX with Mr. Morgan has encouraged these
gentlemen. One OF them IS connected with
Southern properties, and says that With such
feeling expressed by Mr.. Morgan he is pre-
pared 70 see a great improvement tothe tnan-
ciAl condition of railroads.
GOOD PROFIT or RYE.
The Russian ukase against the export of
rye will be very beneficial to this country,
although we raise only about thirty million
bushels Of rye and export only about 100000
worth Rye has gone up twenty cents
OF that advance ten cents took place
during the last two days Five million
bushels is the limit Of possible expectation
from this country. The victims of the Russian
Cars ukase must have It at any hgure, and
as proof Of this fact II may be stated that one
firm on the Produce Exchange cleared yester-
day profit of $4,000 on q single cargo oil rye.
This was on plain export trade and not on
speculation. Such thing was never heard
Of before.
IEpERs SENT TO THR ISLAND.
To-day the leprous "fan-tan" hend, Ong
Moy Toy. and Grocer TSang Ding went 10
North Brothers Island in the Health Depart
ment steamer where the unclean Celestlals
were escorted to a comfortable and $50
lated hospital tent replete with conyeniences
and comforts and q vastly better dwelling
than they have ever occupied. This VIII
be their home until their destiny is settled 10y
the city. State or Federal authorities. Dr.
unfortunate young Mexican as precedent
Ong Moy Toy and T'Sang Ding Will be sup
piled with funds and returned 70 the tlOwery
kingdom. lie recommends that action be
taken bv the Federal Government and that
National lazaretto be established on tho At
lantic coast.
The Richmond man named Ashby Cuth-
bert who has been declaring that he recOg-
nzed Burton Webster, who killed Charles +.
Goodwin as q man named j. Goldman who
shot a man in Richmond eight years ago IS
now shown to be a man whose imagination is
larger than his yeracty. There was, how
ever slight foundation for his story, which
did Injustice 10 both Webster and the man
with whom Webster was said to be lden-
teal Goldman lives here now and Is
reputable man. He shot a negro bus
driver in self-defense at Richmond and was
oil ILrl.c uFlr snfff an a
was born near Richmond. Va. but has not
been in that city but once since he was
child and then he remained only few days.
He saws: This is the first time my name
has ever been on "a police record, and my sole
desire in concealing my antecendent has been
20 shield INV parents, who certainly have
trouble enough"
CUT DOWN THE PAINTERS.
Nicolas Damenschefsky, a Polish cabinet
maker. who owns a little house on Watkins
avenue. between Suttor and Blake avenues.
in the Twenty-sixth ward Brooklyn, objected
10 the way his lot was cut away for the fOunda-
ton Of new building adjoining Yesterday
John Niebuhr and Harris Munster began the
work Of painting the house. Damenschef-
skv objected strenuously TO the ladders
being suspended over his property, and,
as the story is told by the painters, be dellb-
erately cut the ropes which suspended them
in the air. Joseph kiensky a harness-Iuaker,
helped 70 cut the ropes. Both painters were
thrown violently TO the ground. Nlebuhr
escaped injury. but Munster struck on eis
head and was carried unconscious TO st.
Mary Hospital, where it was found that he
had Nery severe scalp wound.
Damepschefskv and his companion were
locked up in the Seventeenth precinct station
on a charge of assault. They claim that the
men fell off the ladder from their own care
lessness. and that the arrested men only cut
the ropes after the painters had fallen TO the
ground.
POLICEMEN N PKTTICOATs.
Some time ago Mrs Mary Ann Newburg of
b28 Seventeenth street Brooklyn, swore out
warrant in the Butler-street Police Court
against her husband, Henry Newburg, TOR
abandonment. Henry had been away for sew
eral weeks. and Mrs. kewburg got no 0ppor--
tunty 20 serve the warrant upon hun until
Thursday last Then she sent word 10 the
court that she expected him to call at her house
that evening Court Officer Cross was detailed
10 arrest the husband. Cross thought II would
be a good idea 10 diCuise himself, as he was
afraid that Henry might get away II he heard
there WAS an officer around. 30 the Oncer
got into one of Mrs Newburgs dresses. and
donned a nightcap, which hid his close
cropped hair. He had 70 wait nearly two
hours in this garb before Newburg appeared;
Then Policeman Cross picked up broom ana
pretended TO be sweeping as the man ne was
LOOKING Tor WhlktQ III. NuOH hOhiJ wa
safely inside the hallway he was greatly
astonished t. hear gruff voice from the sup
posed female figure before him tell him that
he was under arrest The policeman shed his
disguise then and escorted his prisoner TO the
statiOn-house.
HIGH PRICES FOR RYE.
Within the last dav OF two rye as feature
of New York trading has come to the front.
The causes Of the advance of this cereal IL I'M
portance in the speculative world have been
tho great falling of in the Russian crop and
the uksse OF the Gar against any expectation
of rye from that country after August 27th.
IL is impossible at this time 70 form an ac-
curate estimate of the amount Of rye when
this country Will produce. IL IS placed IN
round numbers all the way from $4,000. 600 to
80 900. OOO bushels. The Department OF Ayr
culture in Washington has no knowledge OF
the acreage or the average yield by the
acre according 10 the last communication 70
ceiyed from il at the Produce Exchange. IL
is not thought, however. that there Will be
more than 900. 600 bushels OF rye for export.
This fact together with the foreign lnnu-
ences. has sent the price of rye up some forty
cents bushel within the last few days; Yes
terday there was an advance OF from three 10
four cents over the closing price on Thursday:
In the neighborhoOd Of 10000 bushels OF
rye were sold on cable orders at go marks on
delivery. This is equal to sl.N IN TINS coun-
try.
