RICHMOND AND DANvILLE.
A Third Receiver Likely to be Appointed
Soon.

MACON, June 1S.-It looks like a re-
ceiver within receivers for the Rich
mond and Danviile Railroad. Already
the system is in the hands OF the re-
eeivers appointed by Judge Bond in
Richmond, but if signs in unfinished
cases count for anything, Judge Emory
Speer will next week appoint receiver
from his court. The whole morning
was consumed in hearing arguments
on the petition of the Central Railroad
for a receiver, and no decision will be
reached until Monday, but it looks very
much like a second receiver.
ROLLING STOCK SEIZED.
SAVANNAH, June 1S.-Three passen-
ger coaches and eight freight caas be-
longing to the Richmond and Danville
Railroad, which came here in course Of
regular business, were seized by local
creditors of the road to-day. Other seiZ-
ures will follow, whenever proptrty Of
that company can be caugh in this sec
ton.

c.. Ly Monday next. Several of the

and others will arrive by Monday, when
the company will resume business at its
former headquarters.
NEW YoRKs OPINION.
New York sun, 18th.
Messrs. Drexel, Morgan & Go. said yes
terday, when asked what effect the re-
ceivership would have upon their deliber-
ations. that they were taking up the ques-
ton of reorganization to thorough and
comprehensive manner, and that this move
by Messrs. Clyde, Maben, and Goadby
brought in another point for considera.
ton. It is said, however, on very good
authority, that the firm entirely approves
of the action taken, and regards it as op-
perfume.

Death OF Col. John M. coyIe.

Col. John NJ. Coyle died at his res.
idencein Charles Town last Saturday
on his eighty-ninth birthday. He
possessed in remarkable degree all
his faculties unimpaired up to the
time of his death. Col. Coyle was
the survivor of a large family OF
brothers and sisterf, most of whom
lived to an advanced age. In early
life he was engaged in running a
wooden mill in Berkeley county,
afterwards he took contracts under
the u. S. Government for the cree
ton of several buildings connected
with the Armory at Harper's Ferry.
Some time prior to the war be pur-
chased a newspaper at Morgantown,
and published n Democratic Party
organ there. When the war broke
out and the federal army occupied
this county, Col. Coyle removed to
Madison Courthouse, where he pur-
chased a fine residence and kept open
house for the refugees and soldiers
of Jefferson and many enjoyed there
his generosity and hospitality. After
the war he returned to Jefferson, and
we might say almost commenced life
anew on his EdgefieId farm, near
Summit Point. He was a man of
vigorous mind and excellent judg-
ment, was successful in his many
business ventures, amassing quite a
handsome estate and ranking at his
death among the largest landowners
in the county.
As friend and neighbor he was
kind, generous and hospitabIe, and
as an enemy, open, frank and som e.
times even bitter; His feelings knew
no middle ground, and he was very
strong in his likes and dislikes. Col.
Coyle belonged to generation of
our citizens few of whom now sur
vive-a generation whose faults. how
ever great, we're open and undis-
guised, and whose caudor and frank
ness seemed out of place in this age
of deceit and duplicity.

NOT HIS FIRST ROMANCE.
Rev. Mr. Jennings Secretly Married While q
Student at Hanover College.

The publication of the divorce proceed
ings between Rev. Oliver W. Jennings and
his wife has brought to the front the friends
of Mrs. jennings who tell somewhat diff
ferent story from that of the young minis
ter. They support the wife's allegation
that he used profane language to her. and
soy that he was suspicious of her every &C.
ton, even compelling her to forbid the
servant girls bean" the house.
1t seems that this Is not the minister g
first matrimonial venture. When he was
at the romantic age, student at Hanover.
Mamie Rial, q young Kentucky orphan. re-
puted to DO worth considerable money,
attended the school. Though she was but
sixteen years old, they one day slipped
away and were secretly married. When
tho college authorities found it out
there was trouble. and both were
compelled to leave the school. She after
wards applied for, and secured, divorce,
alleging cruelty. The story then came ont
that he had been disappointed in the eff
fort to get control of her money. She is
now a teacher in Louisville. The court
yesterday issued an order that the child in
question. in the pending suit. be brought
to Marion county. and kept here until the
litigation is decided.

HORRORS OF YELLOW FEVER.
Scenes at Santos, Brazil, Described by Howard
Appleton, Who Fell Victim Himself.

NEW YORK. April 12.-5irs Laura V. Ap-
pleton's eldest son. Howard f. Appleton,
has died of yellow fever, and been buried
at sea. off the coast of Brazil. Mrs. Apple
ton Is Q daughter of old ohm Anderson. the
tobacoonist. who died leaving a fortune of
100000. She recently received $500, 900 as
a compromise of a suit which she brought
against her brother, John Charles Ander-
son. Young Appleton was twenty-five
years old, and it was his love for adventure
and the sea which led to his early death.
Howard started on his first trip to Brazil
just before Thanksgiving day. and returned
in the latter part of January. He liked the
trip 80 we'll that he insisted upon going
again. The yellow fever had broken out at
the Santos. and his father and mother both
objected to his going back. The letters of
young Appleton gave O vivid description of
the scenes attending the terrible scourge
in Brazil. In one letter, written at Santos
on March z, he said:
Under no circumstances whatever could
L be induced to visit this accursed spot
again, If the good Lord spares me to return
TO New York. l wish could describe the
sights 1 witness here day after day. and.
also my feeling. The population of Santos
is about five thousand, and two weeks ago
the death rate was from $50 to 200 per day.
1t Is now down to so a day. The Doatmen
row around from one ship to another re-
moving the dead in plain white boxes. i
have seen fully a hundred carried off in
that way, and always received q peculiar
shock on each occasion. One feels as
though the pit of his stomach was falling
out. and you experience general used-u
feeling bordering on total collapse.
Il saw one poor fellow thrown out in the
streets in o rain storm. He was alive when
they put him out. / don't know whether
he pulled through. AT any rate. he was not
there this morning. They say that is q
common occurrence with people here.
They are devoid of all feeling. ! am In the
best possible health and intend to take
good care of myself"
