PRESIDENT CHoATE TALKS.

Admits That the Absorption by the
 Consolidated of the old Colony Is
 Practically Settled-Terms of the
 Transfer.
 BOSTON, Feb. 7.-Upon the reported transfer of the Old Colony railroad the Journal will say tomorrow:
 General opinion proved to be the correct one, in this case at least, as President Choate authorizes the statement that "the negotiations have progressed So far between directors of the Old Colony and of the New Haven road that 6 union of these two prop erties may be regarded as practically set tled." While this will result h better train service and single administration between New York and Boston, something the public has been constantly seeking, the arrangement will not destroy the identity of the Old Colony system. This will con- tinue to be managed, as heretofore, from Boston, and M. J. R. Kendrick will be in immediate charge and become one of the vice presidents of the New Haven road. The terms of the union cannot bs given, MT. Choste says, as they have not yet been agreed to by the respective boards of directors. In general, it is understood | that share of Old Colony will be worth $215 The officials of the respective roads agreed upon terms of consolidation at the close of last week. Monday the directors of the Old Colony acted upon the agree. ment, and Saturday next it comes up | before the New Haven board of directors | for their a approval, then 1t will have to re- | ceive the sauction of the stockholders of the two roads.
 l The Journal can state suthoritatively 1 that the terms of consolidation are ss fol- lows: Nine shares of New Haven stock, 8 10 psr cent. dividend security 10 be exchanged for ten shares of Old Colony, up to now a7 per cent. security. The union Is to count from January l, 1883, but the New Haven road actually takes posses
 sion July 1. Meanwhile it is hoped to ob
 tain legislative sanction for the ex. change of New Haven stock fol
 that of the Old Colony. No legisla
 tion is required to lease the Old Colony
 but the exchange of stock requires the
 consent of the legislature. Until the ex
 change is perfected the Old Colony stock
 holders are to receive nine -tenths of what
 ever dividends are paid the New Haver
 stockholders. That is, if the New Hsver 1 pays ten per cent. the current year the
 Old Colony stockholders are to receive
 nine per cent an increase of two per cent | upon their present rate.

Secretary Soble Gives His Ultamatum in
the Brown-Eastman Quarrel.
Washington, Jan. 25.-Secretary
Noble today addressed a communication
to the commissioner Of Indian affairs set
ting forth his conclusions in the matter
of the strained relations which for some
time existed between Captain J. Leroy
Brown, Of the United States of America,
acting Indian agent at Pine Ridge, and
DR.. Charles A. Eastman, Of the Sioux
Indian agency, concerning which there
has been very wide investigation made
by the interior department.
The secretary's conclusion is that good
service REQUIRES that DR.. Eastman shall
be suspended from acting as physician
at the Pine Ridge agency, and unless
DR.. Eastman can be assigned or ap-
pointed to another place he is willing
to accept within the next fifteen days,
he must resign or he will be removed.
The secretary finds that there is no
reasonable ground to find fault with the
conduct of the acting agent, Captain
Brown, in this connection. This action,
the secretary says, is not taken, now
ever, in condemnation of DR.. Eastman,
who, he thinks, has many excellent
qualities, but due regard for the Su
premacy of the agent as the officer
chiefly responsible for the safety of the
agency, and efficiency in administration
of affairs there demands that he should
be maintained absolutely in his authori-
ty or be removed, and in this case there
is not sufficient grounds for the re-
moyal of Captain Brown.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-James G.
Blaine is dead. The ex-Secretary OF
State passed away at IL o'clock this
morning There was no warning given
the public and the early morning re-
ports of the physicians were such as
to give assurances that Mr.. Blaine
would live many days. The first init

that there had been a serious relapse,

to say more than that Mr.. Blaine was
dead.
Death came peacefully. AS the end
drew near the members of the family
drew around the bedside and there
they stayed until all was over. Drs.
Hyatt and Johnson came out of the
red house a few minutes after death
and gave the news to the death watch.
To your correspondent DIR. Hyatt
said: The end was peaceful as any |
have seen. We thought at $3.50 that he
could not live through the day. He
had at that time suffered the relapse

New Orleans, Jan. 25.-One of tho
most horrible crimes ever committees
here occurred this evening, and ra-
suited In woman's throat being cut
from ear to ear, a man being murdered
and another being lynched.
The crime took place In the Fifth dis
trict of this city which is off from the
thickly settled neighborhood.
Mrs. Martin McMahone, an aged
woman who keeps grocery, some time
ago married a negro eX-conyict named
Fisher, This evening Mrs. McMahone

In the meantime the noise brought
John Barrett. He caught the negro, but
the latter turned and stabbed Barrett
wee times, killing him instantly.
By this time the neighborhood was
aroused and armed men with every
kind of weapon came upon the scene,
and after several shots fired at the
negro the crowd quickly got rope and
with cries of hang him before he dies"
dragged him into the yard and strung
him upon the nearest tree.

10 produce the slightest apprecia BILE
effect. On the contrary he contin-
ned to sink; but as the end approached
his old-time clearness of mind came
back and his mental strength seemed
10 increase. At the same time he did
not speak. The members of the family
were all summoned. and gathering
around the bed watched with anxious
eyes for some signs of revival. We
continued to apply the restorative
remedies, but they had no more effect
than water. He seemed conscious of
his condition, but he did not speak. I
doubt if he could speak. At 1885,
it was plain to see that he had
but a few minutes longer to live.
We could do nothing more. And as he
showed no signs of pain we merely
watched and waited His eyes grew
brighter and it seemed at times as if
he were about to speak. But his lips
did not move. His breathing became
fainter and fainter, and at just min
ute or two before II he took one look
around the room, peered into every
face, closed his eyes and without a cry
of pain, or aught that would indicate
he was doing more than falling into
a peaceful sleep, he died"
The news flew through the capital
with electric speed A few minutes
after the death the Star was on
the street with an extra, end
then the News came out and the
streets of the city resounded with the
shrill cries of the newsboys. So many
extras had been issued of late an
nouncing the death of some great man
that the public took it for granted
that another life had gone. Pre-
pared as all had been SO long
for the death of Blaine, yet when
they heard the newsboys cry
Blaine is dead they could not
believe it true. They read the great
headlines, filling half column. and
the half line Of real news beneath
with slzeptical faces. Could it be true?
Was it possible that the great Blaine
was dead? To satisfy themselves they
f1ocked to the house itself, when the
newspaper death watch confirmed the
report.
But the confirmation was made
doubly sure by the President, to whom
the news had been conveyed by a spe-
cial messenger. With Lieutenant
Barker on one side and Private Secre-
tarY Halford on the other, he
came from the White House, and
with his silk hat pulled lit

walked through the grounds, cut
across the corners and passing through
the crowd, which parted as he APP
preached, entered the house. He re-
manned but few moments, just long
enough to receive personal confrma-
ton from young Blaine and to express
his sincere sorrow. When he emerged
his hat was pulled lower over his
eyes than ever. His saddened face
told the umelancholy tale. It had
told so many since his admin
istration began that the people

Seeing that the only way to defeat the third
term scheme was to throw Blaine's weight to
dark horse, on the thirty-ff ballot the
Blaine for es focked to Garfield who was
nomina ted on the thirty-s1xth ballot, receiving
S99 votes.
In 1884 Judge West, the blind orator. nomi-
mated Mr.. Blaine amid scene of the widest
enthusiasm. On the first ballot he received
934ia votes Arthur having 27S. The number
necessary to choice was All. The second
cast gave Blaine 249 the third 375. His
opponents, seeing that he would be nom
mated, moved a recess, but amid the
widest, most tumultuouS excitement
this was voted down-yeas 364, nays $50. See
ing that the tide for Blaine could not b
stemmed, Foraker of Ohio who had led The
Sherman forces moved that the rules be sus-
pended and the nomination be made by accla-
NATION. but this also was voted down. The
fourth ballot =, sultedin 81 votes for the Maine
man. On motion of Congressman Burleigh the
nomination was made unanimous.
With the incidents of the campaign of 1884
and the causes leading to the defeat Of Mr..
Blaine at the polls readers are familiar. Nor
is 1t necessary to recall in detail at this time
bow he declined to be q candidate at the con-
vention OF 1883, how he helped to secure the
election of njamin Harrison and how the lat
ter rewarded him by making him Secretary Of
State. These facts are still fresh TO the public.
