A BRoTnEL For NoBILITY.-A SEN
sation has been caused in London by
the arrest of Mrs. Haddon, a tall, fair
complexioned woman, who is the wife
of an officer. She was arraigned on
the charge of persistently ringing the
door-bell of the residence at No. "a
Portchester Terrace, to the great an
noyance ofthe inmates, and also of at
tracing crowd about the place by pub
licly declaring ip q loud voice that the
house in question was used by royalty
as brothel. The detective who ar
rested Mrs. Haddon handed to the
magistrate written statement made
by the prisoner, in which she volun-
teered to give the names ola number
of persons moving in the highest ranks
of aristocratic English society whom
she said were frequenters Of the al
legged brothel. There is considerable
speculation as to whom Mrs. Haddon
will accuse should her offer to furnish
a list of the alleged offenders be ac-
cepteu.

DID TRULLENDER KILL GENERAL
AsHBY ?-Referring to the article about
the killing Of General Turner Ashby by
Frederick Trullender, of 1st n. ]. Cav,
airy, as published in the GAZETTE a few
days ago, a correspondent from Eau:
quier county, who knows whereof he
speaks, says:
SIT matters but little at this late day
who it was that ended the life ofthe gal
liant Turner Ashby, but if any history
is to be written on the subject it had as
well be the truth. Mr.. Trullender's
claim to the Honor of having fired the
fatal shot lacks confirmation by the cir
cumstances of Ashby's death, for in
stead of being killed by a random shot
made by a picket, as Mr.. Trullender
claims, he fell in general fight, be-
tween two regiments of cavalry, in
which not less than 5000 shots were
fired, and which one of them it was
that struck General Ashby, all men en-
gagged may claim, but none can possibly
substantiate."

THE PRoHIBrrIoNIsTs.- national
convention ofthe prohibition party at
Cincinnati reached a vote on the presi-
Dental candidate after midnight last
night. and Gen. John Bidwcll, of Cali
fornia, was nominated on the first bal
lot The other candidates placed be-
fore the convention were w. Jennings
Demorest. of New York, and Gideon T.
Stewart, of Ohio. The vote was as fol-
lows: Bidwell, $50; Demorest, l39 ;
Stewart, 179; Bascom, of New York, 5;
necessary to a choice 4S7. J. B. Gram
fill, of Texas, was nominated for Vice
President.
The convention had a lively fight
over the platform, which came near re-
sulting in split and the loss of promi-
nent members in the New York and
Pennsylvania delegations. Minority
reports were presented on the money
and tariff planl>s. The convention re-
jected free coinage by vote of 500 to
355. The first resolution constitutes
the party's usual prohibitory plank, and
would exclude from manufacture for
sale as a beverage in all States all
drinks containing any alcohol. The
second favors woman suffrage and equal
pay for women who perform work
equal to that done by men: The sum
of $4,000 was raised by subscription
for campaign purposes, Virginia pledg-
ing 81 900.

Richmond Terminal Affairs.

Mr.. Huidekoper, receiver of the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad Company
is quoted as saying: ''We shall begil
paying coupons tomorrow on bond o
leased roads, and shall probably pa.
coupons as fast as they are presented
Some of them are not payable in New
York, and they do not usually come il
all at -once. We presume that al
will be paid, however, in the next three
or four days. An exception has beer
made of Richmond and Danville skies
Some other arrangements may pos
sibly be made with reference to these
coupons, but at the moment there is nc
provision for their payment.
''This discrimination is made because
the court regards it as important tc
keep the system intact, and if we do
not pay the leased line obligations
there would be movements on the part
of bondholders to get control of these
lines, which might result in breaking
up the system. 1t is considered for the
interest of the first-mortgaged bond
holders to have the system kept to-
gether, even at the cost ola little de-
lay in interest. There is no doubt
about the security of Richmond and
Danville skies. The bondholders will
get every cent of interest due them"
An effort is being made to adjust the
differences between the Danville bond
holders, represented by w. P. Clyde
and the First National Bank party, and
the last named interest is said to, be
very strongly in favor of having the re-
organization proceeded with by Drexel,
Morgan & Co. Clyde, however, is very
bitter in his talk against Drexel Nor
gan & Co., and so is John c. Maben,
but it is thought pressure will be
brought against them to induce them to
recede from their position.
The receivers of the Danville Com
pany have sold the 81 900, 900 receivers
certificates to syndicate, and w. P.
Clyde and George F. Stone have an
nounced that they are all willing to buy
the coupons on Danvillc skies, which
are due tomorrow, but which will be
defaulted on
a private Baltimore dispatch says
that plan of reorganization of the en-
tire Richmond Terminal system is be-
ing arranged by Mr. Huidekopcr and
Henry Crawford, senior counsel, which
will be satisfactory. These gentlemen
understand thoroughly the entire sys
TEN. Mr.. Olcott will have the carry
ing out of the plan, unless Mr.. Morgan
decides to publish his own reorganiza-
ton plan, which many of the security
holders would prefer. This was denied
by Messrs. Huidekoper and Olcott.
The New York Post yesterday even
ing said "It was learned upon the
best authority to-day that the Central
Railroad and Banking Company, of
Georgia, commonly called the Georgia
Central Railroad, will tomorrow de-
fault on payment of interest due on its
bonds. The sum of about 5000, 900 will
be due tomorrow, and the company
neither has nor has been able to bor-
row this amount" 1t is said that in
this event q complete reorganization Of
the company will be necessary.
