TO ABSORB B. Il o. souTHwEsTER,
preliminary Steps Taken to Secure n
Receiver Today

CINCINNATI. Ohio, December 31-The
preliminary steps for the receivership of
the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern rail-
way, preparatory for its absorption into
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad under the
new plan of reorganization were taken in
the state superior court today before Judge
r. B. Smith J. NJ. Warrington and other
attorneys for the Mercantile Trust Com
pany of New York filed a suit against the
Baltimore and Ohio South western railroad
for sSV9l0l due on a loan made last Oc-
tober of SSO0,00O at per cent interest.
Through Judge Harmon, as counsel for the
railway company, judgment was at once
confessed.
The Mercantile Trust Company held as
collateral 81 $4,000 in first mortgage bonds.
S2o,opO in Marietta branch bonds, 1851 900 in
BaitIomre and Ohio bonds. The trust COM
pany alleged that II demanded payment for
this loan and was refused before bringing
suit
AS soon as the necessary arrangements
can be made another suit will be brought
In the United States court, and the receiv-
ers will be appointed by that court
The attorneys for the trust company and
the railroad company both attempted to
get the case into the United States court
after the decree of Judgment confessed was
entered IN the state court but Judge
Thompson of the United States court could
not give them a hearing until late this
afternoon, when it is expected that the
proceedings will be completed.

JUST GRAZED THE GALLOWS
Jury in Mrs. Botkin's Case Stood II to for
Hanging
Verdict With Sentence of Life I'M
prisOnment Finally Agreed Upon
-Defe ndant Faints.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, December 81
Mrs. Botkins lawyers do not propose to
accept as final the verdict of the jury find
ing her guilty of the murder OF Mrs. Dun
ming without making a strong effort to OBJ
tain a new trial and possible reversal of
the judgment.
George A. Knight, leading attorney for
the defense. says: Our first step will be 10
move for new trial on the day set for
the passing of sentence or as soon there
after as we can be heard. If the new trial
Is denied, of course we shall go to the su-
preme court, and at that time will raise the
question of jurisdiction. This court never
had and never can get jurisdiction to try
Mrs Botktn. 1t is plain question of law.
ana have not the slightest doubt of the
supreme courts decision on that point
Ihe witnesses who came from Della
ware TO testify in the case will start for
their homes today.
After her arrival at the Branch county
jan Mrs. Botkin broke down completely.
ana Tor some time gave vent to her anguish
IN sobhing and occasionally shrieking
II IS stated that the first ballot stood ten
Ior hanging and two for life imprisonment
The second ballot was eleven for hanging,
ana only one for life imprisonment Eut

Indictment Returned Against Pres
ident Of Telephone Go.
VIOLATION OF ACT OF JUNE 3g 1898
But One Witness Heard in Case
Ky Grand Jury.
OTHER CASES REPORTED

The grand jury shortly after 3 o'clock
this afternoon reported an Indictment
against Samuel M. Bryan, president of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany, for violation of the act of June 30.
1898. This is the act that fixed the rate for
telephone service in the District of Co
lumbia at sum not to exceed $50 year
each instrument. The indictment consists
of only one count, and the sole witness
named as testifying before the grand jury
is William w. Danenhewer.
The expectation was that Mr.. Bryan
would be indicted for misdemeanor, in
view of the fact that no penalty is provided
for violation of the act of June 80, 1888.
But, it is stated, in the event that the de-
fendant should be tried and convicted un-
der the indictment reported this afternoon,
he could be punished for misdemeanor.
Auditors Clerk Indicted.
An indictment was also reported this af-
ternoon against Campbell F. Gibson, form
erly clerk in the sixth auditors Office, for
forging money orders. Other indictments
returned were as follows:

ALL BIDS REJECTED.
New Proposals VIII Be Invited for
IsOlating Building.

Upon the Recommendation of Capt Beach,
Engineer Commissioner, the District Com
missioners have decided to reject all bids
received by them for constructing an iso-
Ating building on the grounds of Proyi-
dence Hospital for minor contagious dis
eases, and to invite new bids after the
plans have been revised.
II Is said the lowest proposal submitted
amounted to S22,2iI, exclusive of steam
heating, which would cost, it is estimated,
$500, and the incidental expenses would
amount to S1.3i2. ~, making the total cost
OF the building s26.05o.44. or an excess of
Sl,oo9. IA over the appropriation Several of
the bidders having stated they did not care
to have their bids for heating considered
separately from their bids for construction,
and that they were not willing 10 under
take the work of constructing the heating
plan alone, the Commissioners invited bids
for the steam-heating plant, but none were
received by Them.

Trim to Cabin John Bridge.

A trip to Cabin John bridge is most en-
joyable in a number of ways. If taken by
way of the Capital Traction and the Wash
ington, Glen Echo railroads it affords a
view of the finest scenery in this vicinity,
and gives the visitor advantages of travel
from the heart of the city to the bridge for
two fares. Then at the end of the route is
the remarkable bridge, which is the largest
arch in the world, and a variety of other
attractions. Visitors should take the 9TH or
14th street cars, transfer at L street and
then transfer at Chevy Chase.
