now THE ENDS or JUSTICE WEE
BOLDLY DEFEITED.
Woman In Transit to Baltimore Under n
Requisition Arrested In Norfolk ona
Trial Charge and Released.

Tho Governor Of Maryland recently
made a requislton on the Governor OF
North Carolina Tor a woman wanted
In Baltimore to answer the charge OF
larceny. She resided in Edenton, and
II is GAINED. purchased goods with in

Governor Carr. of North Carolina. hon
ored the requisition Of the Governor OF
Maryland. and an officer from the latter
state went to North Carolina 10 bring
the woman 20 Baltimore.
SUCCESSFUL RUsE
On his way back home he had to pass
with her through Norfolk. There she
was taken from him and arrested on
warrant charging her with larceny In
that city.
The prisoner was carried before Judge
Hanckel and admitted to bail. She failed
TO put in an appearance at the time when
the case was called up for a hearing,
and her bail was. Of course. forfeited.
II has since developed that her uncle
had her arrested in Norfolk and went
her ban. lie has been fined $40 for
defeating the ends of justice.
THE INVESTIGATIONS.
y serious OUcnce against tht 'litl'N
States laws has been committed, and II
rs probable that the Federal Government

ISSUED the warrant i'm Norfolk and Judge
Hanckel were not sufficiently informed.
and neither knew the circumstances Of
tho case at the time il was before him.
Governor OFcrrall has been informed

but he has mad no communication from
Governor Lowndcs. Of Maryland Mr.
II. Carter Scott. The Assistant Attorney
General. has. az the request Of the Gov
crnor. been at Norfolk TO investigate the

FREEZING OUT RUTLAND ROAD.
Central Vermont Receivers Taking Thei,
Business Away.

Bellows Falls, VT, April 15.-Central
Vermont complications took n new turn
to-day when orders were rece "a from
the receivers office at 81 Adams - divert
all traffic, both freight and passenger,
from the Rutland division, sending via
White River Junction II destined to points
north of Essex Junction. This leaves the
Rutland road without business except
purely local traffic. Until to-day 10 or IL
freight trains of from IL to 30 cars each
were sent north from here every "a hours.
To-day only three or four regular trains
have run of three or four cars each.
The lease of tho Rutland to the Central
provides for a rental of $1,000 per day to
be paid and all remittances from stations
to go through the Clement National bank
at Rutland as guarantee of its pay
ment. Receivers Smith and Hayes order
cd the remttances sent to St. Adams in
stead after their appointment. President
Clement has within the pest few days en-
deavored to force the Central to restore
the remttnnces through his bank The
further management of the Rutland di-
vision between here and Burlington Is
problematical and uncertain.
The Central receivers wish to be re-
lioved, evidently from losing the rental
and It is thought will probably give II
up. Tho Delaware G. Hudson, which
owns large blocks of stock. may operate
IL or the Rutland company may do SO in
dependently. The Central holds the key
to tho situation at both ends, largely con.
trolling the traffic. There is some tall
