WELLINGTON, O., MARCH A, 1896.
THE 3. so. RAILWAY.

Last week the committee on finance OF
the B. & O. Railway Co. ascertained that
they did not have sufficient funds on
hand to meet the interest maturing on
bonds due Monday, March 2. They went
to New York and made desperate efforts
to float their paper to secure money, but
the Wall Street men would not advance
another dollar, as their bonded debt had
already reached the enormous sum OF
$07, 100000, which amount never could
be realized by the sale of the entire road.
The committee returned to Baltimore
and decided late Saturday afternoon that
there was no other way out OF the trouble
at present than to have receiver ap-
pointed, which was done by an applica-
tion to the United States district court
late Saturday evening.
This is a wonderful surprise to the IL
nancial world, as it had been supposed
by the masses that the bonds issued by
that company could be sold even 'at a
premium. A few years previous to the
death of the late John W. Garrett, who
had been president Of the line for thirty
eight consecutive years, the company de-
cided to have its own telegraph, express
and sleeping car business, therefore
crowded out the U. S. Express, Atlantic
& Pacific, and Wagner Palace Car Com
panies from their lines. In order to do
this, bonds had to be issued for each
branch of the new business, indOrsed by
the railway company in order to float
them, to secure money to operate the ad-
ditional lines. From that date until the
present the newly acquired business has
proved to be financial disaster, as the
company knew nothing about operating
business beyond their Legitimate trade.
This shows that even corporations had
better con6ne themselves to their own
business and not try to operate outside
industries.
The failure of this company will be
met with hardships by hundreds OF
people holding their paper. The John
Hopkins Institute, of Baltimore, will be
one of the principal sufferers.

Among the indictments found by the
grand jury for the present term of court
was one against Rev. Father Clear, late
Of Grafton, for assault and battery. 1t
appears that lady member Of his par
ish became angry at some remarks the
reverend made and went to the parson-
age and struck him and in defense Mr..
Clear struck back. After passing SEN
tence upon him, Judge Nye is reported
to have censured the divine for doing so,
saying that under no circumstances
should he strike woman. That is good
advice, but on the other hand let some
woman enter Judge Nye's house and
give him crack on the ear and see what
he would do. The circumstances con-
nected with the case doubtless warranted
Rev. Clear in doing just what he did do,
and perhaps the only fault to be found is
that he did not give the woman a more
stinging reception, as our divines should
not be molested with persons of evil
design.

The old jeff Davis mansion in Rich
mOnd, Va, which by the way, is now
used as museum for confederate relics,
was thrown open last week. One speak
er said that the world will yet see that
the principles for which the con-
federacy cOntended should have been sus-
tanned. The world probably knew but
little about what Mr.. Davis and his little
band went to war for and as the people
in Dixie appear to be highly prosperous,
it is the best of evidence that even they
now do not approve of the course their
leaders pursued in the sixties.

THos. G. CHAPMAN.
Lorain's Popular Candidate for the Office
of Clerk of Court.

Lorain's Popular Candidate for the Office
of Clerk of Court.
The subject of this sketch was born at
Lorain, Nov. s, 1865, aud has made that
city his home since his birth. He grad
uated from the LOrain public schools af-
ter which he spent year at 0berlln.
In November, 1856, lie became sole pro
prietOr and editor of the Lorain Times,
which prOspered under his management.
In March, 1894, Mr.. Chapman started
the first republican daily paper in LO-
rain, which he continued to manage I'M
til August 1, 1895, when he disposed Of
the newspaper plant. Nine years of ac-
tivity in the newspaper work has made
for him many friends throughout the
county and a wide acquaintance. Dur
ing his connection with the Times he
held the Office of township clerk for two
consecutive terms and subsequently the
republicans hOnOred him with the posi-
ton of township treasurer for two terms.
He is an aggressive republican and a
worker for the party. Last fall he was
announced as a candidate for county
clerk and he feels he is entitled to the
consideration by the republicans of the
county on account of being native of
Lorain county and because LOrain is
entitled to representatives at the county
seat. He is a fit man for the position
and he asks the republicans of the county
to help nominate him.

Mr.. Smell has been a prosperous farmer,
he was for some years successful prac-
ticing physician. He has been for many
years faithful republican, and is now a
veteran wheel-horse for the party. In
presenting his name as candidate for
this office, his friends believe he will
make faithful and efficient infrmary
director. MANY REPUBLICANS.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
A Weekly Budget of Interesting News
from the Capital.

A Weekly Budget of Interesting News
from the Capital.
WASHINGTON, Feb, 2S.-The adminis-
tratiOn, the Spanish minister and his
corps Of spies, and the Spanish lobby in
Washington are all working along the
same lines, to defer congressional action
in favor of the Cubans and prevent the
Cubans getting aid from private parties
in the United States, and it is not to be
wondered at that there are whispers Of
bargain. There are certainly grounds
for suspicion that such is the case.
No man who heard Senator Sherman's
short speech after the senate had for a
second time voted against consideration
of the house tariff bill could doubt the
intense feeling that lay behind his words.
There is no question about Ills having
meant every word he said: 'It is a dis
grace to our civilization it is disgrace
to the country itself that we are now ex-
pending $50, 100000 year more than the
receipts Of the government, and that con-
gress now in session, with both houses
fully armed with power to furnish the
revenue, is idle and refuses to act. |
will vote for tax on tea, coffee, on any
thing, in order to meet this deficiency,
and say that il the present congress
does adjourn in the face of declarations
now made to us, of the official reports
sent to us, of the statements made by the
president of the United States and the
secretary Of the treasury, that we are
now going on day by day like careless
spendthrift to inyOvle the country in debt,
selling bonds when it is the duty of con-
gress at once to supply the revenue" Al
this point Senator PETER interrupted to
say that the president asserted that we
did not need additional revenue. Quick
as flash Senator Sherman retOrted in
tones sharper than he has been heard tC
use for years, 81 do not care what the
president says. Every man within the
sound of my voice knows that we neet
more revenue"
Chairman, Dingley, Of the house ways
and means committee, said Of the fate o.
the tariff bill which bore his name: 90
course this ends all chances for thC
passage of any revenue bill. By sOlit
democratic and pOpulistic making
in themselves a majority, without TIN
votes of the five silver republicans wh'
Joined them the senate has said that i
will not have the $4O,0OOOO Of revenu,
offered by the house bill to prevent fur
ther deficiencies. The house has dom
its duty in offering revenue, but thi
majority OF the senate assumes the full
responsibility for refusing it and NJ
doubt President Cleveland is grateful t.
them for relieving him from the Difficult
position he would have occupied il tn
bill had reached him and he had inter
posed veto. The vote of the senat
simply means that so far as the majorit
Of that body is concerned they want tn
deficiency to continue with the bon
sales which it necessitates."
The resolution condemning and cen
suring Ambassador Bayard, for hayin
used un-American language in publ
speeches, was this week reported to tn
house and its adoption may be set dow
as a certainty.

The senate on Friday last passed a
resolution in favor Of recognizing Cuba.
There is no doubt but what the Spanish
commit depredations in Cuba that are
unknown to the rules Of war, but still
we are inclined to think that our govern
ment should not be too hasty in the mat
ter. In time Cuba will be able to cast
aside her yoke Of oppression; then it will
be ample time for us to recognize her.
If reports are true England will stand by
Spain, and if this be so, the end Of the
conflict is certainly in the distance.
