MORE TERMINAL TRIALS
REGARDTNG TIE REoRGdyIzArroy.
Rumored That the Plan Has Practically
Fallen Tbrouch-GeneraI Thomas
Said TO be Dispieased.
New YORK, March 2s.-Ths Evening Post

New YORK. March 2s.-The Evening Post
says:
Rumors of trouble in regard TO the reor-
ganization of the Richmond Terminal system
were again current to-day in Wall street. Ii
was stated that meetings have been held at
frequent intervals during several days to act
on certain new developments, and Calvin S.
Brice came from Washington on Thursday
last in response to urgenttelegrams from Cen
eral Thomas. Ii was also said that long
meeting was held at the New York Club yes
day. and to-day q report was circulated that
the plan has practically fallen through.
Nice-PresideEt fahnestock when spoken TO
this morning about the report that he had
resigned from the reorganization committee,
said:
THE REPORTS DENIED.
The reports have no foundation. There
has been no trouble or rupture of any kind.
end there has been no changein the situation
The time in which the success of the plan
can be Judged is still far away. April 18th
being the date fixed as the limit for deposit
ing securities. The First National Bank peo-
pie are security holders. but not holders OF
Richmond Terminal stock"
At the Central Trust Company II was
learned that Chairman OlcOtt had gone out OF
town and was not expected at his Office to-
day. There is a general understanding that
there is serious trouble between important
interests in the system.
The following statement was given to-day
TO an Evening Post reporter from source
practically official:
GENERAL THOMAS DIsrLEAsED.
General Thomas has certainly been dis
pleased by several things. One is that when
the OlcOtt committee sent their letter re-
questing the designations of all the officers OK
the Terminal system he had a right TO expect
that the presidency Of the new company
would be offered to him, even though he
declined Then there has certainly been un-
fair discrimination shown in the proportion
of new securities to be given in exchange for
the securities of the present companies.
knoxville and Ohio is one instance, and the
other East tennessee securities can be given.
Ii is certain that some of the underlying
securities of the East tennessee will not be
deposited under the plan unless its provisions
are changed.

New York, March ga morning paper
saws that Halet AIsop Borrowe was well

The complainant on this occasion was III.

aires daughter at some social gathering.
Miss NewcOmb at that time was barely more
than a girl. She had, however. many ro-

Miss NewcOmb B0rrOwe carefully read the
girls letters and LAID them away for future

Finally the matter came under the notice
of Mr. Newcomb. and he dropped Borrowe a

To this. however. Borrowe paid but little
attention. and subsequently told Mr. New

turned. In proof of his assertion he
said he had much documentary evidence.

CRUCfFTED HIMSELF.
A Roll gfous Monomsniac Tries to Practically
Follow the Example OF Christ.


RrnL1x. March 2s.-Near Konigsberg. East
Prussia. man named Puschke recently cru
CITED himself under the impression that he
ought 90 die in the same manner a. the Saw
Jour. Puschke was until recently harmless
person. but became religious monomaniao
through the teachings OF q. preacher,
who has been creating considerable ex-
element in Fast Prussia. Alter attend
ing religious meeting some
weeks ago in which the death
of Christ was described with much realism.
Puschke conceived the idea that his SINS
could best be a.oned for by submitting to the
same form of expiation. He procured some
stout cord and tied his own legs in such
way that it would be very difficult. If not i'm.
possible, 10 raise himself after he had Isid
down.
What he did afterwards can only be judged
from his condition when found. as no ono
was present at the horrible affair. His feet
had been fastened with heavy nails to tho
board Then. lying on his back. he had ham
mered nail through bis left hand with tho
right, mailing the left hand firmly. The
right hand remained free and in this the
maniac took u knife and repeatedly
stabbed himself in the breast. He became
unconscious from pain and loss of blood and
was in this condition when his wife returned
home. She called for help. and IT took great
exertion TO pull out the nails and release the
victim. He was bathed in blood and was at
first supposed TO be dead but gradually re-
covered consciousness. While his wounds
are of almost serious character. il IS believed
that they are not necessarily fatal.

IMPORTANT RAI1WAK DECISION.
Application of Robert Garrett TO Have Ger
tain stock Assessed Granted.

COLUMBUS. o.. March 2S.-Judge Pugh. in
common pleas court to-day. rendered de-

pany' and merged without his knowledge and
consent by combination INTO the Pitisburg.

The decision grants the application upon
the ground that Mr. Garrett did not agree TO
the consolidation, and he and the two COM
nauies have been unable to agree upon a
value OF the stock. IL is regarded as a de-
cision greatly in the interest of minority
stockholders. The alleged value OF the l .72s

They had not anticipated such a
straight blow from the Government aud a
storm of Kisses greeted the Premier's an

loudly. and both parties got so excited that.

GEORGIA DEMOCRACY.
What Hon. j. w. Robertson Says About
1t,

The speaker concluded with a
summing up of what the Democratic
party has done for Georgia. "Don't
you ali remember wher We came
home penniless in 1866? A swanth
of desolation sixty miles wide and
three hundred and fifty miles long
stretched across the State. Every
thing was gone. We were under
military government. Then came
the three days election when our
gallant Gordon was counted out.
Then came construction with it's bit
ter memories. Another election and
we swept the carpetbaggers from
power. Toorabs, grand old Toombs,
if he were here to-day said: 'We
must have new constitution We
called convention and adopted ore.
The Democratic party has done
nothing tor Georgia? Under it the
wealth of the State-excluding rail-
road property, which they say was
established by northern capital
has increased since 1879 from 1925.
100000 to s4O2, 50O,OOO; our lands
have increased in value $4,000, 900;
our live stock s7,500,000; our tools
and farming implements our houses
hold goods s6,750,00G."
Turning to a group of negroes on
the right of the stage the speaker
said to them; ''In 1876 your peo>
pie had 100000 of taxable prop
er;y in Georgia. In 1892 you have
s14,000,000"
