Northern Pacific Reorganization Com
mlttee Has Lost It's Bear
ing@.
is NOW WITHOUT A CHARTER
SerlOn, Doubts As TO Whether 1t Can
Take Hold OF ana Operate
the Road.

New YORK, June l2.--The Herald this
morning says there Is much discussion
among those concerned in the reorganiz
alton Of the Northern Pacific railroad, as
to the form OF charter the company is to
have, or whether it is advisable to fore
close the property at present, in view of
the fact that the present congress failed
to give the company a new charter \
story is efoat in Wall street, to the effect
that the failure of congress- to pass the
expected legislation WAS partly due to
the effort Of the bond holders of the
Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern rail
road. The resolutions authorizing the
new charter, which were before a com.
mittee OF congress, stipulated that all
property claims against the Northern
Pacific were to be settled.
According to the report, the bond
holders Of the Seattle, Lake Shore and
Eastern had claim Of about $5OOOOOO
which the Northern Pacific had refused
to readjust The bonds oi the Seattle
road were guaranteed, principal and in
terest, by the Northern Pacific and, when
the former road was sold some time ago
it was bought in by the Northern Pacific
for 100000 The outstanding bonds
amount to 5G.O0OOOO
According to report the Seattle bond
holders were so Indignant they deter
min I'D to block things at Washington

New YoRK, June Il3.--1hc, great
American stake, worth to the winner
$4,000, was the chief attraction at
Gravcsend today. There was Il long de-
lay at the post, caused chiefly by Nc
Cafferty, Lamley and Clayton, which
caused them $50 each, crowding and
maneuvering. In the first furIong,
Rodesia took lead Of two lengths.
San Mateo was second, length in front
of Kesser, he half length in front Of
Don de Orc. At the three furIyugs'

taking to the outside for a
good position for the final run.
Then came George Kessler, followed by
the other two, done up. Here the race
was begun in earnest and desperate urg-
ing was in order. Taral saw hole near
the rail and like a shot, he went through
it and assumed the lead by a narrow
margin, $4,000 hanging in front Of biu.
Talal rode his hardest, for MrCbtierty
was coming on Arbuckle with one Of his
wild rushes. But Arbuckle could not
get up and had to be content with sec
ond place, while George keseler carried

"Supreme Court Justice William d.
Dlckey of Newburg received a message
from the war department yesterday at

Judge Dickey displayed great bravery
in rallying his forces ia an attack on

road in Virginia, on Aug. 10, 1864. The
men were dcmoraliZed and about to re.
treat. Seizng the standard, Judge
Dickey called on his men to follow, bur
ried them into the thickest of the fight,
beat back The enemy and turned what
looked like defeat into victory"

TUSHONG,S CAREER.
He Was Sort Of "Harvcy Blair"
Crook.

Major Charles X. Scott. Assistant Chief
OF Police of Fort Worth. Texas, has ar
sived in this city after Tushong, the
forger. an account OF whose arrest by
Detectives Gibson and Hall was printed
in The Times. Major Scott is familiar
with tho past history of Tonchon, or
Tushong. and says that he posed as a
religious man. being connected with the
Y. VI. c. a. of Fort Worth. and also
prominent member OF a church there.
Tu-hong attended church regularly and
seemed 10 be a sincere Christian. He
was also frequently 10 be seen at the
Young Mems Christian Association. Be
ing musician of no small ability his
services were always in demand and
he became a valued member OF both
church and Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION. He also Joined a band, and
in a very short time became very well
and favorably known.
Among the members Of the church TO
which TushOng belonged was the prosi-
dent Of one Of Fort Worth's banks.
Tushong kept a small deposit at the in
sutution. II was In tho latter part OF
June that the forged check was pre-
scented. The cashier did not know Tu-
shong and sid that he would have to
have somebody identify him.
Il can easily get some one replied
Tushong to this. III the president Is
here he will do il as he knows me well ."
The president was called from the
bank and not only identified Tusholg
but said that he was alright. The cash
Ter handed over Immediately sl2l3. the
amount that the check called for. Tu-
shong took the money. and. with his
family. left Fort Worth that night. lie
told his wife that his father had sent
him the money.
So satisfied in his own mind that Tu-
shong was alright was the president
Of the bank that he did not even make
a single inquiry about the genuineness
Of the check. though the largest checks
that the forgor had ever had previously
cashed were for such amounts as $40
or SIS. When July 1st arrived. as Gus
tomary. the bank officials sent all the
checks presented 20 the institution and
drawn on the packing company TO the
latter's office. When the Tushong
check was reached it was returned to
the bank and pronounced p forgery.
Chief Scott says that ne did not an
ticipate the arrest Of Tushong here. He
thought that ne was I'm New York. He
highly complimented the Richmond de-
partmcnt for 'ts catch.
The bank loses the money Tushong
obtained on the bad check. He has spent
il an. His crime is punishable with
from two to ten years in prison. The
bank officials VIII do all they can TO
secure for him the severest punishment
the law will allow
Mr. Scott says that he understood that
Tuehong was n faro-bank hend. and in
that way got in deo,. lie thinks he Is
wanted I'm Dallas Texas. for forgery also.
