A SEPARATE RECEiVERSHiP.
BOndhOlders of the Atlantic & Pacific
Want to Break Away.

Want to Break Away.
Chicago, July 19.-The bill filed in
the Office of the United States court, in
Albuquerque, N. M, by the United
States Trust Company, trustees under
the first mortgage of the Atlantic &
Pacific, for foreclosure and sale of the
property, is based upon no interest
having been paid on the first mortgage
since the road went into the hands of
receivers, in January, 1894. 1t is un-
derstood from the filing Of the bill that
the reorganization committee represent
ing the interests of the first mortgage
holders contemplates applying for a
separate receivership. 1t is understood
that the Atlantic & Pacific does not
desire to break away from the Atchi-
son system, but thinks its interests can
be better looked after by separate re-
ownership, while at the same time
maintaining all existing traffic rela-
tions. Should such motion be made,
it is not certain what position would
be taken by the AtchisOn, but it will
presumably object very seriously to
such change being made in the man
agement of the property.
What is called the Atlantic & Pa
cific railroad extends from Albuquerque
through Arizona to Mojave, Cal, a
distance of SI8 miles. The road is
owned by the Atlantic & Pacific, how
ever, and extends from the Rio Grande
river thirteen miles west of Albuquer-
que to the Colorado river, which is the
eastern boundary of California, dis
lance of sos miles. The road was
built in the interest of the Atchison and
st. Louis & San Francisco roads for the
purpose of affording those lines trans
continental routes, and it has hereto
fore been handled as part of the Atchi
son system. The present receivers of
the Atlantic & Pacific are Aldace F.
Walker, j. McCook and J. G.. Wilson,
who are also receivers of the Atchison
and ST. Louis & San Francisco COM
panies. This receivership was estab-
lished in suit brought by the Mercan
tile Trust Company, under the second
mortgage. The bonds secured by the
mortgage, as well as the greater part
of common stock OF the Atlantic & Pa
cific are assets of the Atchison and
San Francisco receivership. The United
States Trust Company, trustees of the
first mortgage, has been made party
to the suit in which the receivers were
appointed. The latter mortgage Sc
cures about $1S,OO0,OOO of bonds,
which are the first lien on the 535
miles of road above stated, together
with the valuable land grant of the
company.
The situation is complicated by the
fact that the Atlantic & Pacific line,
from the crossing of the Colorado river,
at the Needles, east of Barstow, where
it connects with the Southern CalifOr-
MIA, and to Mojave, where it connects
with the Southern Pacific, is not owned
by the Atlantic & Pacific, but is oper-
ated under contract of purchase and
lease from the Southern Pacific. made
when the road was constructed.

The Whipping Post Needed.

Oakland, Cal, July 17.-Last night
Samuel Stare, bargeman of the estu-
airy, in order to compel his wife to give
him money that he wanted and which
she had refused tied rope around her
neck and threw her overheard. Then
he towed her up and down the estuary
until she was all but drowned. The
woman screamed and foundered about
in the water until she had exhausted
herself. When Stare saw that she
was sufficiently subdued he pulled her
out of the water. She was too weak
for further resistance, and while in
that condition he forced her to give
him 500. Apparently that was not
enough. for afterward he kicked and
beat her on the head and stomach until
she ran away. Star was arrested.

Ward False to the Widow.

San Francisco, July 2O.-Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Mcclellan, a widow with three
children, who recently came from Vic
toria, is looking for Mitchell T. Ward,
her lover, whom she accuses of swim
ding her out of $4,000. She swore
out a warrant for Ward last Monday,
and the police are assisting her in the
search. Under the pretense OF being
a wealthy railroad contractor, Ward is
said to have made violent love to Mrs.
Mcclellan, and in less than six months
succeeded in borrowing from her all
the money she had. Since Ward dis
appeared Mrs. Mcclellan has learned

A PHOSPHATE TRUST.
LII is Said That One Embracing Fitv
Companies Will Be Formed.

New York, July 22.-The World to-
day says: A phosphate trust embrac-
ing more than fifty separate companies
Is being formed. DR.. A. Moses, of this
city, who owns large phosphate depos-
Its IN the South, is the protector of the
combination. Several weeks ago he
met the owners and representatives of
the company at Barlow, Fla, and laid
his plan for the consolidation of all the
interests before them.
There was report that Colonel
North's English syndicate, which con-
trolls the big nitrate beds of South
America, was seeking to get control of
the phosphate companies in this coun-
try, but it is pronounced untrue.
Gugenheimer, Untermeyer & Mar
shall are counsel for DR.. Moses, and
some of the phosphate companies as
we'll. Samuel Untermeyer said last
night:
The consolidation has not been
completed, but l can say no English
capital has been asked for. The con-
solidation embraces five separate groups
OF phosphate interests-the Lone, Hard,
Rock, Pebble and Low grades found
along the sea coast. Over fifty COM
panies now located in Florida, South
Carolina and Tennessee are included in
the combination. Over production has
caused low prices and decentralization
of the business, and many companies
have had to shut down.
1t is understood that when the con-
solidation is completed, bonds will be
issued to raise working capital of
81, 900, 900, and the stock issued will go
to the present owners of the properties
in exchange for their holdings Prices
are to be advanced.

The Army Worm In California.

Healdsburg, CAL, July 19.-George
Nally, who lives three miles below this
city, on the Russian river, says army
worms are doing a vast amount of
damage to some of the alfalfa and po-
tato fields. In many places these pests
have ruined the crops. Grasshoppers,
which have done considerable harm,
have disappeared. The use of poison,
composed of arsenic, bran midlings and
molasses, exterminated large numbers
Of hoppers, but several cattle and one
or two horses also died from eating the
poison.

Two Negroes Lynched.

Camden, Ark. July 16.-About 10
o'clock last night at Hampton, two ne
groes were lynched by seventy-five
men. Two weeks ago white man by
the name of Martin was killed by three
negroes. Two of them were arrested
and confined in Jail. A mob gathered
several nights ago, but was persuaded
to dispense. Last night there was an
other gathering, and seventy-five deter
mined men marched to the Jail and de-
manded the surrender Of the murderers.
1t was useless to resist such a force,
and the sheriff delivered the keys to
the mob. The culprits were taken to
the neighboring forest and hanged to
trees. The men were not masked, and
made no effort to conceal their identity.
Two years ago a race riot occurred in
Calhoun county. The negroes out
number the whites, and further trou-
BILE is expected.

CHARLES FAIRS FIGHT.
DIR. Levingston, by Request, Will Not

Push His Petition.
San Francisco, July lit is now
stated that the petition for special let
tiers of administration in the alleged
will of James G. Fair, known as the
Craven" or "pencil'' will, will not
be pushed. The attorneys for Charles
l.. Fair stated today that they had adj
vised DIR. Livingston, named as special
administrator in the "Craven" will,
not to push his petition, as they had
serious doubts whether the courts
would grant him letters. 1t had been
threatened that special fight would be
made against Livingston acting as ad-
ADMINISTRATOR. Young Fairs attor-
neys were afraid that the Livingston
proceedings might injure their case if
undertaken before they obtained de-
cision in the fight against the Fair will
trust. Charley Fair has undertaken to
defeat the trust clause, and if success
full, he will have no further objection
to make against his fathers will al

The Nebraska BUSTERS.

Butte, Neb., July 19.-It is not
known what became of the rustlers
captured by the Keya Paha vigilantes
Sunday. The band passed through
Fairfax, S. D., last evening going
West. stating it was the intention to
proceed to point north of Springview
before crossing the state line. There
is little doubt that the rustlers will
reach Springview, as should they be
turned over to the authorities it would
make trouble for Anspeker, the owner
of the stolen cattle, which were being
herded on the Indian reservation con-
trary to instructions from the Indian de-
partment.

FULL DRESS BOOMERS.

Chicago Girls Considered Them APP
prOpriate for Bali Costume.
Chicago, July 22.-At Jackson Park
pavilion last night "bloomer ball, "
and probably the first one ever given,
was the attraction. The girls in
boomers calmly forgot the mandate of
society that boomers and bicycles were
twins, and marched into the ballroom
and danced the hours away without
even a thought of the poor, forsaken
bike
At P. M. the soft music of the
waltz began, but at first there was just
a bit of hesitancy all around. Every
body said to everybody else, "You go,
why, you're not afraid?" and then
everybody said to everybody else, "Of
course not, are you?" but just the same
no one started, and Hyde Park and
Woodlawn held their breaths and
waited in terrible suspense.
Then Miss Minnie Burlett and H.
Montgomery Fuller glided out out un-
der the full glare of the calcium lights
amid laughing applause, and the
bloomer girl had won. Soon forty
couples were on the floor, and the
scene was a strange one.
The girls were actually finding new
delights in the novel party, and kept
the blase youth guessing as to what
they would do next. If the men would
not dance they would dance by them
selves, and no one knew the difference

Less Wine to Drink.

San Francisco, July GOV. 5.
Scott, secretary of the viticulturai com
mission, says the grape crop will be
short this year. At the outset OF the
season il seemed AS though this would
he a year of a very abundant yield, and
II was estimated that $4,000, 900 gal
Ions of wine would be made. But
lately the berries have not matured as
well as was expected. In many vine
Yards they have not filled out, and 1t Is
thought that fully % per cent OF tnt
first estimate must be deducted. 1t Is
now believed that the vintage this year
will not exceed Is, 600, 900 gallons.

DEFEAT OF HARCOURT
The Sensation in English
Political Circles.
LIBERAL LEADER IN THE HOUSE
His Successor in the New Parliament
Returned by Nearly Double His
Old Majority in Manchester.


Old Majority in Manchester.
London, July 16.-Sir William Har-
courts defeat in Derby was the sensa-
ton in political circles tonight. 1t is
admitted ON all sides that the liberals
are beginning very badly. OF 40
members thus far elected ninety six are
uniOnists, ten liberals and four Parnell-
ites Eight liberal seats have been cap
tured by the unionists and the radicals
have captured one uniOnist seat, that
at Perth. AS far as outward appear
ances go elections are causing little
excitement in London. There are q
few idlers in the Strand, where the
Graphic displays a representation of
Lord Salisbury and Lord Rosebery
climbing ladders to indicate the course
Of election returns
The moral effect of Sir William Har-
courts defeat will be great, as even the
most sanguine conservatives did not ex-
pect liberal majority of 100 to be
converted into a unionist majority of
LOO. While Sir William Harcourt
Jared SO badly, the Hon. A. J. BalfOur,
the new first lord of the treasury, who
is to succeed Sir William as leader of
the house of commons, nearly doubled
his majority in Manchester. After the
result had been announced in Derby at
midnight, Sir William Harcourt, with
his wife. drove to the liberals head
quarters and made speech, saying he
had been defeated too often to be either
elated if successful or depressed by
reverse But he did not wish to con-
ceal the magnitude of the defeat which
had fallen upon his colleagues and
himself Sir William Harcourt's de-
feat is generality attributed to the
prominence which he gave to the local
veto or local option measure.
The Sunday Observer (unionist)
points out that yesterdays returns of
unopposed candidates are as insignifi-
cant as the results of contested cleo
tions. Seventy-six seats had been
handed over to the unionists without a
fight, while the liberals were allowed
to retain only five uncontested seats.
The Parnellite total of unopposed re-
turns has been increased to four by the
uncontested election of John Daily,
from Limerick. Thus the Mccarthy
ties have yielded without contest
seat which they were in actual posses
sion of. Judged both by the result of
the contest and the numbers which the
radicals had allowed to go by default,
there can be but little doubt of the final
result.
T. P. O'Connor's Sun says that yes
terday's results were a keen disap-
pointment, but that it does not follow
by any means that the whole country
is going against them. The Sun adds:
1.-The substitution of a popinjay like
the Marquis of Lorne for politician
so esteemed and a man of science so
honored as Sir Henry Roscoe, is dis
creditable to Manchester.
Tomorrow fifty more seats will be
decided including London.

There is a general belief here that the

futility of resistance, surrendered to

disarmed, bound hand and foot, placed
on horses and started west, presumably
for Keya Paha county. The men cap
tured are Louis Zealand, resident of

Murphy and c. b. Jackson, who live
west of Springview. Nearly 100 head

PrOte ctiOn for Missionaries.

Washington, July 18.-Representa-
tive Tim Campbell, of New York, had
a conference today with Acting Secre-
tary of State McAdoo, with respect to
the Entertainment of certain missionar-
les in Ecuador during the progress of
the recent revolution in that country.
In 1887 number of sisters of the Bene-
dictine order sailed from New York for
Ecuador to establish missions. They
started missions at Roeparto, where a
convent was established in charge Of
Sister Theresa, and at Babahoyo and
Calietra, the latter mission being in
charge of Sister Genevieve. During
the revolution the mission at Calietra
was destroyed and the sisters were ILL
treated and compelled to escape from the
country in a small boat. After hear
ing the statement, McAdoo promised
to cable Immediately to United States
Minister Tillman at Quito, instructing
him to secure governmental protection
for the twenty two missionaries still in
Ecuador, and see that they are not
further prosecuted.
