New CoaI-Road Project.

A dispatch last night from Scranton, Pa,
says: "A new railroad from Scranton to New
York is contemplated by a number of CAPT.
talists and individual coal operators of this
city. The promoters are the wealthiest men
of the upper Lackawanna anthracite region.
They organized yesterday as follows: f. B.
Sturges, president: ex-Iieutenant Governor
l.. A. Waters. vice president: Thomas f.
Jones. secretary; Thomas II. Watkins
treasurer; Joseph j. Jermyn, j. j. Williams
G. ID. Simpson, John Jermyn. j. n. Rice,
John NJ. Kemmerer, o. s. johnson. Con-
gresham William Connell and W. G.. Payne.
Excessive freight charges on anthracite coal
is the only reason for the proposed road.
Present rates, ii is claimed, have displaced
anthracite in favor of the bitumnious prod
uct in the tidewater market. 1t is claimed
that the output of individual operators in
this section would increase G. 900 tons an
nually If the rate to the seaboard did not
favor bitumnious coal The new company
is to be known as the New York. Wyoming
& Western. Charters have been applied for
in Pennsylvania and New Jersey"

Second Bomba rdment of Matanzas.

KEY WEST May 7.-Matanzas was bonn
barded yesterday afternoon and TINS aItef-
noon The work was done this time by two
boats, and these among the smallest in the
navy-the torpedo boat Dupont and the
auxiliary cruiser Hornet, OF the MOSQUITO
fleet Three blockhouSeS were destroyed,
and it is almost certain that number OF
Spanish soldiers were killed. The bonn
bardment was brought on by the temerity
of the Matanzas spaniards. who apparently
were not content by their experience last
week with the greater ships of the fleet.
The engagement probably had its Degln-
ming Thursday afternoon when the Dupont,
cruising close to the shore observed num-
Der of SpaniardS on the point near Matanzas
boat men suspected that new guns were
being mounted there and Lieutenant WOOD:
commanding the Dupont, remarked II
quickly" There was nothing positive. how
ever, to indicate that new battery was in
course OF nt Friday ane The D
pont had then been joined by the Hornet
and both were scouting about Matanzas,
not more than 600 yards from the shore,
when suddenly a storm of rifle bullets came
Whizzing towards them. The attack was
made by body of Spanish cavalry spread
ibusters. The little boats lost no time in
answering the challenge. From their
few small guns they poured "a q
cavalry which promptly retired. Not long
afterwards a wagon was seen upon the

soldiers, but an estimate of the number of
Spaniards killed or wounded could not be
made, although the wagon made repeated
trips. The two boats continued firing for
some time afterward, directing their mis-
siles at the three blockhouses, which were
quickly reduced While this firing was in
progress an eight-inch shell from one Of
the MatanZas batteries was sent towards
the Dupont, but fell short. This was the
only firing from the Notifications.
Nothing daunted, the two little boats re-
sumed the bombardment this morning, but
drew no reply The firing by one of the
ships lasted from to $50 o'clock Friday
afternoon, and from TO 5 this morning.
shells were fired. Not man on either boat
was touched by the Spanish bullets. The
Dupont brought the news in tonight. She
was rugged gaily with flags and locked near
the troop ship Panther. The news was
shouted to the latter, and was greeted with
burst of cheers and applause, which was
heard we'll into the town.

The session of Congress-, recently
ended, appropriated more money than
any other session ever held. And
these tremendous appropriations were
not all due to the war by any means.
The war appropriations call for 1851,
1888 ,O95, and the appropriations for
other purposes for $3.50, ,739 1896. The
country was shocked when the repub-
licans first ran the appropriations of
a single Congress over a billion dol
lars, but the Fifty-Fifth Congress bids
fair to go a long way beyond the bill
lion mark. Such extravaganza will
continue to grow SO long as the voters
keep the in power that is responsible
for them.

At Chickanauga.

In the Chattanooga Times, in a COL
umn devoted to the soldiers at Chick
amauga Park, is the following about
the Twenty y-frst Kansas regiment:
The Twenty-irst Kansas had a right
to be proud of it's record at the rifle
range. The boys of this regiment led
the entire division in marksmanship,
having made numerous fine scores.
The second Missouri was second in
its shooting record. Major Brown,
of the Twenty-first Kapsas, was in
spector of the range and took great
interest in the work.
One-third of the patients who wore
sent to the division hospital, have re-
turned to the regiment ready for duty.
The health of this regiment is now re.
markably good and the offcers and
men think they could not possibly
find more healthful place than
Chickamuaga Park.
The salt used to supply the troops,
it is stated, is mostly from Hutchin-
son, Kansas, the greatest salt town
in the United States if not the world.
Company E of the Twenty-first Kansas
is from Hutchinson, and their yell is

Assistant Attorney General Smell
ing has decided that judgments OBJ
tained in the federal court are sub.
ject to taxation, the same as judge
ments obtained in the state courts.
The law says that judgments taken
in the courts of the state shall be
taxed" Some holders of judgments
taken in the federal courts claimed
that theirs were exempt under the law;
that the law meant only judgments
rendered in state courts. Smelling
does not take that view of it. He says
"courts of the state'' does not mean
estate courts only, but all kinds of
courts doing business within the linz
it's of the state. If this ruling is up
held by the courts, all the mortgage
bond-holders of railroads now in ihe
hands of receivers will have to pay
taxes on their judgments taken against
debtors and stockholders
