A Railroad scoon.

ATLANTA, GA, March 13.-To-day's Con-
stitution publishes story of a railroad
deal which will eclipse all previous made
1t is in effect that the Baltimore and Ohio
have scooped the Richmond Terminal and
that this was brought about by overtures
OF President Inman's friends and also that
Mr.. Oalzum of New York will become pres
ident of the Richmond Terminal instead of
Mr.Inman, who retires in his favor in order to
enjoy the discomfitlre of Messrs. Brice and
Thomas. It seems that while the latter
has been playing with the Olcot plan, John
Inman and Pat Calhoun have been doing,
more effective work elsewhere and so well
have they guarded their work that Messrs.
Brice and Thomas are sleeping insignorance
of it. The deal includes the Old Blue line,
making the new com bination consist of
the Jersey Central, Reading, Baltimore
and Ohio and Richmond and Danvllle and
its leased lines, except the Central The
Central's leases will not be retained, but
that road will be turned loose to do business
on its own account. This Y i'll dispose of
the receivership now in the Federal courts.
The East Tennessee, however passes into
the new deal, so that the Baltimore and
Ohio will extend to the Atlantic coast at
Brunswick, Ga, over the East Tennessee,
ana to the Mississippi at Greenville over
the Georgia Pacific

THE END OF FREE COINAGE,
For This Session Only. However-The Figl
to Re Renewed Next Winter,

For This Session Only, However-The Fight
to Re Renewed Next Winter.
The vote in the House Yesterday against the
Bland amendment to the sundry civil bill is
regarded as the end of the free silver coinage
movement in the present session. Even the
free coinage leaders concede this. The fact
that the Bland amendment could only muster
seventy-fve votes in tolerably full House.
notwithstanding the undoubted fact that fully
two-thirds of the members are in favor of free
coinage, is not to be interpreted as sig
nificant Of a change of principle on the
part Of the silver men. 1t merely
proves that majority Of free silver advocates
have now fully and firmly determined not to
allow the silver dispute to be dragged into the
field of legislation vital issue at the present
time. Their action does not imply that they
have given up the fight. On the contrary, they
are expected TO renew il next winter. and are
hopeful of success then. But they realize that
any further attempts in that direction at pres
ent would only result in further rebuffs and
would have an injurious political effect
IN various ways. 1t is also expected
that this sentiment in favor of postponement
will have predominating influence in the Chi
cago convention. While some of the free silver
men will doubtless make strong effort to commit
the party at Chicago to their radical views it is
expected that the more moderate policy will pre-
vail there in the end, it has finally prevailed
in Congress. and that the convention will refuse
TO make direct issue in behalf of free coinage
on the theory that il would be unwise to COM
plicate the pending campaign unnecessarily
upon matter regarding which such wide
division Of opinion exists and which can be Just
rs well settled at some future time. The adop-
ton OF this conservative policy by the conven-
ton, while highly probable. will not be effected
however, without q severe struggle.

The Bill Dismi ssed.

Justice Hagner in the Equity Court today
dismissed the bill in the case of William L.
Davis against Catherine Davis. In this case
the charge was desertion about January l.,
1882, and the court says the relief prayed
cannot be allowed, for the records of
the court disclose a conclusive reason therefor
In October, 1880, the complainant filed bill
charging cruel treatment and desertion, the
acts Of cruelty alleged to have taken place on
March IS, 1882. and the date Of desertion
Is not stated with preciseness. The testimony
fixes the desertion in January. 1882 or 1883. In
this case the bill was dismissed by Justice Brad
ley March 8, 1891, and there is nothing to
indicate that it without prejudice"
and no appeal was taken. Ten months
after the present bill filed on the
ground Of desertion and the desertion
is the same as that charged in the first bill.
Under such circumstances this is but an attempt
to revive a matter regularly passed upon by
u decree, and it is res adjudicata.
The parties are the same. the complaint the
same, and the controversy to the subject of
the complaint is closed in this court.
