MoRGAN's ROAD IN DANGER.
Asks for Protection for Southern Rail-
Mny Against SpecuIators.

New York, Aug. 2S.-A circular to the
stockholders of the Southern Railway Com
pany was issued to-day by ]. Pierpont Nor
gan. Charles Lander and George +. Baker,
the voting trustees. recommending a contin-
uation OF the voting trust for Iive years.
or until October 15. 1891 The company post
poned dividend declaration recently in or
der that the shareholders might nave an
opportunity to record their wishes as to an
extension of the voting trust The circular
contributes the following:
THE events of the last eighteen months,
in connection with railroad properties, have
revealed the danger to which corporate
properties are exposed Of the control of
their stock being bought up in the market
by purchasers not identified with the prop
erty or permanently interested in its devel-
Opment and improvement.
Therefore, we do not hesitate to state
that, in our opinion it is decidedly for the
interests of the stockholders of the South
ern Railroad to protect their property by
an extension of the voting trust until ne
gotatiOus now pending for the further de-
velopment and STRENGTHENING of its lines
shall be settled beyond any risk Of being
overturned. and until the completion of
other negotiations now pending in relation
to transportation interests in the Southern
States. which have an important bearing
upon the interests of the Southern Rail-
way Company

New York. Aug. 2S.-Hearing In the suit
of Peter Power TO prevent the turning over
of Northern Pacific stock 10 the Northern
Securities Company was continued to-day.
Captain Stern was called to the stand.
He was asked whether he had read his tes-
umony and was =ady to sign Il. He re-
piled that he had not read it. that he had
been too busy.
What have you been busy about?' asked
Mr.. Guthrie.
I've been making an investigation" re-
piled Captain Stern. Ito learn first of all
whether NJ. Lamb really registered in Min
neapolis. l am on the trail and 1 am going
to ferret this thing cut.
Captain Stern then turned to Mr.. Lamb
and said: I'm tired of all this; there's a
limit to some things. When you turn loose
like mad dog and bite people there's a
way of dealing with mad dogs; some people
shoot them"
Mr. Guthrie called Parker c. Chanler a
Boston attorney. who, Lamb said, was one
of those de5irous of getting Peter Power
out of the country. Mr.. Chanler testified
that he had be 7 retained by Mr. Neiden-
field about July &c as associate counsel with
w Bourke Cochran and Mr.. Cleveland He
saw Powell in Lambs office. but he did not
know that Power had been subpoenaed. He
gave Lamb $50 on or about July 2S for

the effect that so far as he knew OF haa
reason to believe, the $50 paid TO Lamo was

JERRY KANE's RESIGNATION.
Friends of the Deputy Sheriff Nom
infused Mt His Action.

East st. Louis Democrats were surprised
yesterday to learn that Jerry ]. Kane has
resigned his Office of Deputy Sheriff, the
resignation TO take effect Immediately.
Speculation was rife as to the cause of
kane's sudden action. 1t is believed by
many that Mr.. Kane intends to enter the
race for the Democratic nomination for
Sheriff. There are several candidates out
for the nomination. the East St Louis con-
testants being John Suess. Deputy Sheriff,
and T. J. Canavan. These seem TO have the
race between them, with the chances slight
" in favor of Canavan. who is very popular
in East st. Louis. Kane has a large follow
ing, both in East st. Louis and the county,
and would. no doubt. make a strong candi-
date, but it is claimed by some that his
entry into the race would upset the plans
of the party leaders.
Kane refused to give reason for his
resignation. and when asked If he intended
TO enter the race for Sheriff said 'he could
tell better later ON He denied that there
friction between himself and Sheriff
kickham.

Upon entering they found the old man
stretched upon couch in the cloakroom.
He was unable to RAISE his head when
the men entered. and, though he tried to
speak when they came close to him, his
