RECEIVERS LET OUT
RESERVATIONS of the Northern
Pacific Trio Accepted at
Milwaukee.
Bondholders Urged Postpone-
ment but the Request
Was Denied.
Attorneys for All Concerned
Agree to Have Two New
Receivers.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 2S--The rcs;gna-
tions of the Northern Pacific receivers
have been accepted, and Judge Jenkins
will shortly appoint their successors or
successor.
The representatives of tho bondhold-
ers all urged the court to postpone ac-
ton on the resignation Of the receivers
for several weeks and thereby enable
the different parties mt, rested III the
Northern Pacific railroad to- get together
and tremendously agree upon some one
plan for the continuation of the admin
istration Of the property from one conf
mon head. In making this suggestion
they also expressed the hope that the
different courts of the districts trnv-
ersed by the Northern Pacific railroad
might mutually agree as to which OF
them is to have the general direction OF
the rec sivers and Of the administration
OF the property as II unit, thus
Preserving tho Integrity
of the North ern Pacific. The arguments
occupied several hours, and We're listened
to by one of the large st assemblages OF
lawyers ever seen in Il court i'll Mil
waukee. Finally Judge Jenkins am
nounced his decision. He went briefly
into the history of the Northern Pacific
receivership, recalled the fact that the
primary jurisdiction of tho court of
Milwaukee had been recognized for the
past two years by all the courts along
the Northern Pacific railroad, defined
the relation of courts to one another
under such circumstances, speaking OF
the comfy recognized as Il rule by
courts, and with the remark that he
would gladly wash his hands of the
whole thing, but that duty compelled
him to keep control Of the case, he an-
nounced that the receivers designations
were accepted, and that nominations OF
their successors were in order.
VIII Name Two Receivers.
Judge Jenkins] will appoint two re-
ceivers, that number having been con-
sented to by all Sides The attorneys in
terested, who are now on the way to
Seattle, it is understood, will arrive at
some agreement soon, and it is said to
be practically decided among them to
recognize the jurisdiction Of one court,
that of Judge Jenkins, and to have one
receiver representing the interest Of the
stockholders. Brayton Ives is already on
the way to Seattle and q general con-
ference with him is likely to take place.
If no agreement is arrived at the result
may be the existence Of two receiver
ships, the jurisdiction Of one extending
from Ashland, Wis, to Montana, and
the other from Montana to the Pacific
coast

Fires Something Terrible.

Devastation Caused by Canadian Forest
Fires Something Terrible.
MONTREAL, Que, Sept. 27.-The big
forest fire that has been raging for the
last two days in the forests OF the
county of Athabasca has destroyed
hundreds of farm houses. The village
of Brawlt's Mills is wiped out, and not a
building remains Even the cattle were
burned in the fields. The inhabitants
fled teri, stricken and barely escaped
with their lives. Hundreds of families
became separated in the flight. Most OF
the country from Brawlt's Mills to Ash
ton is a charred and blacAened waste.
The fire is eating its way still further
into the interior and the sky is obscured
by dense smoke. Forestdale and Moose
Park, on Mitchell's road escaped the fire
entirely, but along the AthaEa
of the Grand Trunk, the dest-.
pitable.
The fire began on Monday morning
when the sky was darkened by dense
column of smoke blown by the strongest
gale for several years. The fire origin
ated in the brushwood and was kindled
by a farmer clearing new land. Mon
day evening the terror was redoubled
here when the heavens were lit up with
flame and the rain Of cinders and sparks
fell. The whole population engaged III
prayer, tapers were burned at the alter
and the priests joined in the supplica-
ton to heaven Guards were posted
all around the village and the statues
of saints were placed around the houses
to turn back destruction.

ReIeas d from Jail

On February 25th, Editor John
Mitchell, Jr., received letter from
the City Jail signed, "Alexandria
Johns" 1t had at the head the square
and compass and contained the mason
ic signs of distress.
Johns was the gate boss at the Jail,
his good behaviour having secured that
position. He had six months to serve,
the security Icing $500. All of this he
explained to Editor Mitchell at the

soon as he get out.
Two weeks later Mr.. Mitchell called
on Judge Wit. After consulting with
City Sergeant Epps, the editor carried
a note from Capt Epps by order of the
Judge releasing Johns. There was a
commotion when he reached the Jail
and many requests for similar favors.
The released man was happy. He
called by the PLANET Office previous to
leaving the city to express his thanks

affair, I see no inconsistency in your
conduct at all. You did no more than
any other man in your position would
have done in entertaining fellow rep
resentative from a sister state. You
were then. very far removed from the
auction block, and all other former
customs of ante-bellum days. Your as
sailant is in position now to own few
slaves and feels that he needs only the
respect of those who formerly owned
slaves to make his happiness complete.
But remember Abram Hall, John Cool
ey, Joseph Lewis and great many
others who are both dead as well as liv-
ing on the same road, none of whom
have or ever will reach the goal of their
ambition. History does not record an
instance in which any man ever gained
any lasting hOnors by sacrificing his
race or his principle. This social
equality question is the greatest shame
/ ever heard Of.
Brother Mitchell let none of these
things move you. Go forward with
the grand work that God has given you
only; TO use the language of Milton;
Remain Jealous yet modest. inno-
cent though free, patient Of tolls; Sc
rene amidst alarms;
Inhexible in faith, invincible in arms.

That Browne Letter.
A Shocking Outrage
A BIC ROWIN TRUE REF0RHER'S
HALL.
LYNcHBURG, VA, April 4, '95.
Mr. Fditor.-

LYNcHBuRc, VA, April 4, '95.
Mr.. Editor
The vilest outrage ever
perpetrated upon the citizens of this
place was witnessed last night at the
closing scene of meeting held at the
True Reformer's Hall of this city.
There was a farce of a meeting here
to-day called a Thanksgiving day of
True Reformers. About a handful of
the members paraded the streets, af-
ter which an instructive sermon was
preached by brother Terrell.
Mr.. r.. j Hill of Richmond, adj
dressed such number of the people
at night as would come in under an ad-
mission fee of ten cents at the dOOr. 1t
had been given out that the Mr.. Hill
would speak on the Glass Department,
stock and the Reformer; but the most
dastardly and cowardly thing of all
was the attempt TO bring up the ques-
tion of that cowardly letter written
by w. w. Browne concerning Teamoh
in which he represented shimself as
speaking for the entire. race, and all
the True Reformers
S. w. Rutherford, who was acting
as chairman, after Mr. Hill had taken
his seat, arose and put forth PROPOSE
ton like this: "Now. we want TO know
whom do you endorse, Mr. Browne or
Mr.. Mitchell P" Before making this
statement Messrs. Hill and Ruther-
ford had both tried to make an apollo
gy for Browne, and explain away that
Insulting letter. Nothing at all was
said as Co the character of the letter
written by Mr.. Mitchell, nor any expla-
nation whatever was made on that side
and it was apparent that the people
did not understand what they were
being asked TO do especially when they
were called to attend business meet
ing Whereupon Rev. Gordon who
was then in the audience, arose and
asked was it not proper TO hear the
other side before voting.
Rutherford replied that they could
read the circular, but time could not
be allowed for discussion, and proceed
ed to restate the question.
Lawyer n. 7. Goldsberry arose and
stated that he was not ready TO vote
on the proposition, and stated that il
| they didn't have time TO discuss the
matter il should be let alone.
Rutherford then got beside himself
with rage and said that nothing could
| be discussed Mr. Golds0erry at the
same time holding the floor which ht
| obtained by the recognition of the sell
constituted Chairman.
The behavior of Rutherford became
| so disgusting that a great many of the
respectable citizens left the Hall. AT
| terwhich he called for another vOt'
and didn't a soul respond.
Mr.. Hill came upon the stage and il
begging manner asked them to rise
and for forms sake some of the few
who were then in the hall arose.
The whole affair was the severes
condemnation that could be heapeC
upon mans head for his interference
in matter with which he had moth
ing to do.
The people of this vicinity are in &C
cord with the letter written by yo
which sets forth the situation in it
true light, and viii endorse your caus
to the letter.
Yours,
