little improvements in feeding, water

the close attention needed to discover
them. The poultry men are all the

of them are very original. A little
thing sometimes becomes a great con-
venience. The hard times have evil

BALTIMORE, July 19.-The Mercantile Trust
Companylof Baltimore to-day filed its answer
TO the petition OF Messrs. John X. Cowen and
Oscar 9. Murray. receivers Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, for authority TO
purchase rolling stock. The answer protests
against granting the receivers authority to
purchase the rolling stock, and gives an analy-
sis Of what the estimated expense of the pur-
chase will be. The total amount which must be
paid for the cars is 81, 345. $50. The answer
says that the receivers intend to guarantee
absolutely on account Of principal, whatever
the length OF their receivership, tho sum Of
1888. 76O. In addition to this the receivers
bind themselves to pay interest to an amount in
excess Of S250,00O within three years. On
each year thereafter, while the receiyership
lasts. al! maturing interest and payment on
the principal must be met. This the trust COM
pany declares will be q very heavy burden upon
the resources of the road.
The Mercantile, Trust and Deposit Company
Is trustee under the mortgage Of 1857 upon the
main division OF the road. It Is asserted that
1t docs not appear t1at the proposed equipment
Is required for the main line, and that TO pay
would be diverting the revenues, and may re-
suit in defaulting the interest upon the bonds
secured by the mortgage OF 1897.
The petition, it Is declared, does not ~satisfac-
torily show that the additional equipment will
be needed before the mortgages are foreclosed
1t is maintained that the receivers have no
right to improve the equipment OF the railway.
Their sole duty is to maintain the railway as
It was when they took charge Of 1t.

gard to an arrangement for pressing claims
made by citizens OF those countries and the
United States on account OF injuries done

that he expected to reach tho Spanish court at
San Sebastian between Aug. 20 and Sept. i.
and that he thought everything would be done

presentation to the Queen Regent is sufficiently

BRUNSWICK, Me-. July 19.-Laborers who had
Just begun work yesterday on the excavations
for the remodelling of Appleton Hall, one OF tho
Bowdoin College dormitories, were astonished
to find the opening OF a subterranean basement
below the real cellar OF tho structure. 1t was
In q perfect state Of preservation. and had evil
IDENTIFY been untouched for years.
The Oldest attache Of the college had no recol-
lection of the existence OF the place. The base
ment was divided into several apartments with
walls of masonry. The walls were lined with
sombre black. SO that the darkness was inky.
To add to tho wierdness Of the place there was
an array Of skulls and skeletons arranged In
fantastic disorder. Some collins lent their dis
NAL presence to the atmosphere OF death. The
workmen scampered out Of this underground
place with their eyes staring and could not DO
induced to venture back again for some time.
Further Investigation developed the fact that
this chamber OF horrors was connected with
the dormitory by means Of small passageways.
None OF the students remaining in town has
any knowledge of this place. There is evidence
OF age in the cavern. and some OF the college
authorities say that 1t may have been con-
structed by the huzing men OF years ago.
