THE SOUTHERN BUILDING AS.
ISOLATION.

In the United States Circuit Court at
Knoxville, Tenn, on Monday the ap-
plication to confirm the appointment OF
S. B. Luttrell and James G. Rose as
permanent receivers of the Southern
Building and Loan Association was
postponed. pending meeting of stock
holders to be held within thirty days.
Judge Clark intimated that if there
was any opposition to the appointment
of Luttrell, who was president of the
association, it would not be made per-
manent.
Little Rock, Ark, holders OF invest
ment stock in the Southern Building
and Loan Association of Knoxville, to
the amount of $4,000, applied to the
federal court on Monday for the re-
moyal of its receivers, alleging that the
officers of the association mismanaged
it's affairs and placed the association in
the hands of its president as receiver
for selfish and wrong purposes. Coun-
sci for the association will contest the
petition.
Notwithstanding the statement that
the stockholders will get back their
money, it is feared that there are too
many lawyers and receivers in the case,
and, of course, they will get their fees
first. The stockholders will get what
ia left.

the Senate committee on Interstate

the Senate committee on interstate
commerce this morning. AS amended
and as the bill will probably soon be
reported to the Senate, the railroad
companies will be required within
thirty days after the law goes into eff
feet to redeem all legal tickets offered
for redemption. This is done to protect
those brokers who may have secured
tickets by private arrangement with
any railroad company. The bill will
also be amended 80 as to require the
companies to redeem not only the un-
used portion of any ticket in the hands
of the public, but the whole ticket if it
should not be used. 1t is believed the
bill will be reported at the next meet.
ing of the committee.
The report cabled from London that
Ambassador Bayard would present his
letters of recall on February 20is clearly
an error, as the State Department has
sent no letter of recall to Mr.. Bayard
and will not do 80 during this adj
ministration, consequently he will have
none to present. 1t is understood that
the Department of State has uniformly
declined to grant even any leaves of
aasence to any diplomatic and consular
officers for the past and current month,
so that when the administration changes
on March all officials will be at their
posts.
1t is considered at the Senate safe to
say that Mr.. Davis, who deserted his
party last November, and tried to in
duce others to follow him, will not be
confirmed as U. S. attorney for the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The House Committee on Ways and
Means today agreed to report favorably
the bill to amend the law regulating
the sale Of opium seized for failure to
pay the duty on that article. The law
requires that such forfeited opium
shall not be sold for less than the
amount of the duty $1,000 pound. As
the market price of opium is but 5000
or 500 pound, the treasury officials
cannot of course secure tho day price.
The amendment proposes that the
opium shall be sold to the highest
! bidder.

INFATUATED BY AN ACTOR.

a strange case of the infatuation of a
wealthy, refined and educated woman
for strolling actor has just come to
light in Pomona, Cal. After seven
years of happy married life Mrs. Thad-
deus L. Johnson, whose father, James
C. McCaul, of Detroit, has been for
twenty-five years business agent for
Gen. Russell A. Alger, whose husband
is cousin of Congressman Tom
Johnson, of Ohio, has deserted her hus-
band to live with an actor, known as
William Bell, in the Leonard Grover
Comedy Company, but whose true
name is said to be R. A. Norton.
Mrs. Johnson is now in San Francis
co, where, it is said, she has been liv-
ing with Bell, or Norton, as the case
may be, since she left her Pomona home
on December -. After less than a
month of consorting with her actor
lover, she has been deserted in turn,
and is now reported to be living in
miserable top floor room of a cheap
lodging house on Eddy street in San
Francisco.
The story of her elopement and SUBJ
sequent adventures have been sup
pressed for weeks through the efforts
of her legal husband, DR.. Johnson. who
has gone so far as to follow his unfaith-
full wife to San Francisco with the pur.
pose of demonstrating with her and re-
storing her to the place in his home
which she had left. In order to cover
up his wife's offense DR.. Johnson has
deceived his friends in Pomona for sew
eral weeks by explaining that she had
gone to San Francisco merely on a
visit, but in spite of all efforts to keep
the affair secret, it has at last been
made public.
Miss Eva McCaull and Thaddeus L.
Johnson, than q medical student at the
Ohio University, were secretly married
in Detroit in September, 1889, by a
Justice of the peace, with two consta.
bles as witnesses, although a marriage
ceremony was held later at the home
of the BRIDES parents. For awhile
they lived at Ravenna, Ohio, but for
the benefit of Johnson's health they
afterward went to California, and
made their home at Pomona. Since
their residence there DR.. johnson has
made an enviable reputation MS ply
stefan, and he and his wife have been
conspicuous in social way.

STOPPED A FUNERAL.

The funeral of Mrs. Mary S. Schin-
deler, wife of DR.. Theodore S. Schin-
deler, of Hoboken, was stopped by or
der of County Physician Converse on
Monday afternoon, one hour before
the burial was to have taken place.
The body was removed to Volk's
morgue. DR.. Converse ordered that
an autopsy be performed yesterday.
The action of DR.. Converse, who re.
fused to discuss his reasons for his
stopping the funeral, has created pro-
found sensation in Hoboken, as DR..
SCHNEIDER is wealthy, and holds high
social position.
Mrs. SCHNEIDER, who had always APP
parently enjoyed the best of health,
died suddenly about supper time Fri
day. She was alone with her bus
band at the time. DR.. SCHNEIDER him
self treated her. No other physician or
neighbor was called in He did not
announce her death until the following
morning.
On Saturday DR.. SCHNEIDER made out
death certificate, in which he stated
that death was due to apopleXy. The
same day he hired an undertaken, and
was to have buried the BODY yesterday
at o'clock.
AT o'clock DR.. Converse called at
the house. The friends who were to
attend the funeral had begun to arrive.
DR.. Converse ordered the funeral stop
ped, and took charge of the remains.
DR.. SCHNEIDER threatens all kinds OF
legal proceedings, but refuses to say
anything. Mrs. SCHNEIDER was the doc
tors third wife. She was 80 years old,
and had been married to DR.. SCHNEIDER
three years.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-County Physi-
clan Converse, OF Hudson county, who
on Monday stopped the funeral OF Mrs.
Mary SCHNEIDER, decided yesterday that
there was nothing suspicious about the
death of the woman, and permitted the
certificate to stand. Mrs. SCHNEIDER
was alone with her husband. who is q
doctor, when she died. She was not
known to have been in i'll health, but,
on the contrary, seemed robust. The
doctor made out the death certificate.
No one thought anything Of this until
an hour before the funeral DR.. Converse
ordered the interment postponed and
took charge of the case. 1t appears
that three years ago previous Mrs.
SCHNEIDER the doctor having been
married three times-died under some
what similar circumstances. The county
physician did not suspect that there was
anything wrong, but to prevent any
gossip which might arise he decided to
hold an autopsy. This resulted in
showing that the woman died from
blood poisoning and cerebral apopleXy,
as stated in the death certificate. Per-
mission for the funeral was at once
granted, and it will be held to-day.

THE CITIZENS LEAGUE.

The Citizens League of Alexandria
county, as originally organized, was
composed of many men honestly intent
on the general welfare of the entire
county, and designed as assisting the
legally authorities to sup
press vice and counteract the ineffi.
cheney ofthose unreliable justices of the
peace and constables who have been
elected by the vote of property
owners together with the outlaw part
of this much-defamed community,
which said elements for years have
dominated our county elections. In
fortunately, however, few disappont-
ed parties, anxious for notoriety and
eager to secure official positions, have
assumed the management of this
League, in order to cooperate with
parties in Washington interested in de-
preciating land values in Alexandra
county, whereby misrepresentation
have reached the Governor, and the
actual facts relating to gambling and
other infringements of law recently and
now occurring in our said county are
seduously magnifed. Parties really in
terested in our county's welfare and
DESTROYS of intelligently voting at our
coming spring election have informed
themselves respecting the action of
these few busybodies, and it is credta-
bly, asserted that the Governor is now
in possession of the actual facts respect
ing lawlessness in said county, and
therefore can advisedly proceed, as
heretofore, to furnish the needed as.
sistance should such become essential,
and he is we'll aware that the court and
its officers are doing what is
legally practical to suppress those
few lawless men who constitute only small
fraction Of that class operating in this county
at the lime the governor so opportunity as
sisted our county authorities, and by which
means gamblers and noted crookcs were then
fined and jailed, and the greater number of
those escaping arrest at that time, were deter.
ed from carrying on their games etc, in this
county, and have escaped to other more ia.
vorsble localities, and those, bold enough to
remain, are so well aware that the authorities
mean business that their nefarious work is
vastly less open and notorious now than for
merly. As these are plain and palpable
truths why not afford the uniformed an OPP
portunity to verify these facts and not he
mislead by the mere assertions of parties who
have Interior motives for Misrepresentation

THE VALLEY BRANCH.

The Shenandoah Valley railway trib-
ulations promise now to get into the
courts. Ever since the Southern Rail
way took possession of the stretch Of
trackage running from Stras burg to
Harrisonburg, formerly part of the
Valley branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, running from Harper's
Ferry to Le1ington-on December 1st-
General Hill, the railroad commission.
er, has been vainly trying to secure q
train service that would be satisfactory
to the people of the valley and particu-
larly those living on or using the Stras,
burg and Winchester road.
General Hill will now take legal pro-
ceedings for the forfeiture of the char
acter of the Winchester and Strasburg
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, having exhausted every means OF
bringing about an arrangement that
would suit the travelling public of that
section.
The Winchester and Strasburg Rail-
road, which is leased to and operated
by the Baltimore and Railroad, was
by act of the Legislature passed in
February, 1877, relieved from building
its road into the town of Strasburg,
provided trackage arrangement with
the Manassas Gap road for the use of
it's terminals was made and maintained.
This was arranged at the timo and continu'
ed until December LIST, 1896, when the Bal
timore and Ohio lease of tho Strasburg and
Harrisonburg road was cancelled. The Win
chester and Strasburg road has since that
time stopped its trains at strasburg Junction,
which is about mile and a-balf out of the
town.
The southern gives good train service
from Washington to Harrisonburg, but there
are no efforts at connections at Strasburg
Junction, which has no hotel or accommoda-
tions for travelers-not oven station-with
the Winchester and Strasburg road.-Rich-
