Choctaw Coal and Railroad Company.

special 10 Ine GaZeLte.
ARDMoRE, I. T, Oct. BIN the matter
of the petition OF Paul NAPLES and others,
praying for the appointment of third re-
ceiver for the Choctaw Coal and Railway
company, which has been pending in the
United States court here, Judge Shackel-
ford to-day made an order denying the
prayer for third receiver and confirming
the authority of Francis L. Gowan as act
ing receiver. The court also authorized
and instructed the issuance of additional
receivers certificates to pay certain pre-
ferred debts and to complete the road be-
tween Oklahoma City and FL Reno, which
work the judge ordered to be proceeded
with as soon as contract could be made
for that purpose. The case has attracted
great attention.
The receivers were attended by Samuel
Dickson and E. B. Morris, partner of At
torney-General McVeigh of Philadelphia.
1t is understood that the real purpose of
the move for third receiver was to get
possession of the management of the road,
but the court stood by the orders hereto
fore made and refused to make a change.
1t is thought the order entered to-day in
sures the speedy completion of the Okla
homa end of the road and entire harmony in
the management of the property.

An Electrical Locomotive.

1t is said that i French electrician, NJ.
Heilmann, has invented a simple and prac-
teal method of applying electricity to rail-
reading. The steam engine which he uses
is not connected with the wheels of the To-
comotive, but with powerful dynamo
which generates electricity for the motive
power and this passes to a motor on every
car. Each car thus moves independently,
relieving the tremendous strain on the driv-
ing wheels of the locomotive. and it is said
that speed of seventy to eighty miles an
hour can be easily maintained.

Century old liquor is rarely heard of these
days, and when its age and quality are
established it is sure to bring large price
A workman at Reading, Pa. learned this
too late the other day and now regrets his
rash action. While engaged in tearing
down building he found in the cellar a
peculiar looking flask, which was very
ancient, was made of solid silver, and when
cleaned did not appear to be any the worse
for its long burial beneath the ground. On
one side was an engraving of the original
Independence hail, and on the other ap-
peared il old English letters: ''Ye Whiskey
Flaske Josiah Windhorst." The flask
was full of thick, oily substance. and the
finder, not knowing what it was, poured it
out. From the few drops remaining an
expert pronounced the fluid whisky, and
declared that every drop of it would have
been worth gold dollar to the owner had
he known its value.

They're After the Commission.


New YORK, Oct. 13.-Kilrain's Wall street
letter has the following: The out-of-town
counsel of one of the leading Southwestern
systems, at present in this city, informs us
that the legal advisers of the Texas rail-
road lines have been in recent conference
in New York, to consider method for the
protection of their respective properties,
against the destructive reductions in rates
put into effect by the Texas railway COM
mission. The Texas commission bill was so
drawn, following the dissenting opinion of
Judge Miller in the Minnesota case, that it
is doubtful whether the railroad COM
panies can obtain relief. This conclusion,
once actually reached, would compel the
holders of the bonds of the Texas roads to
take whatever steps might be possible to
protect their interests. and it may be that
the bondholders of the various lines will be
compelled to move their several trustees to
bring action in the Federal court against
the railroad commissioners, the attorney
general of Texas and the respective COM
panies, to restrain the enforcement of law
on the theory that it destroys the earning
power of railroad companies, and
depreciates the value of their security, and
it wants to make test case on which a
court of equity should grant relief.
