Roaxoxe, Va., Sept. 30.—The Shenandoah Valley railroad was sold today in compliance with the-decrees of the court. The sale was conducted by Judge Robertson, counsel for the plaintiff, the Fidelity Insurance, Trust and Safe Deposit Company, and A. Moore, jr., specia! commissioner, The first bid was $7,100,000, by Louis Fitzgerald, chairman of the purchasing committee of the first and general mortgage bond holders. Just as it was about to be knocked off at this bid N. J. Tubbs, a mechanical engineer of this city, raised the bid $50,000. This was like a bomb exploded and caused no little comment among the Norfolk and Western people, who finally decided to try Tubbs’ metal. ‘Tubbs failed to comply with the conditions of the sale, as he was unable to produce $75,000, the cash payment required. The sale was reopened and Mr. Fitzgerald made the same bid as at first and the sale was closed, Mr. Fitzgerald giving a certified check for 75,000, which was ee deposited in the First National nk, Noone knows for whom Tubbs was bid- g. and be 1s supposed not to have any money of his own. Tubbs offered to put up the required amount by 3 o'clock, but this was rejected, He says ho will contest the sale. His bid is generally considered as a bluff. As the Norlolk and Western people hold a majority of the bonds the road now passes into their hands. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

The President Appoints the Three Citi- zen Commissioners. PROMPT ACTION AND A WISE CHOICE—TEE DUTIES OF THE COMMISSIONERS AS PRESCRIBED BY LAW —ALL THE PROCEEDINGS NECESSARY TO SECURE ‘THE PARK TO BE MANAGED BY THEM. The President yesterday afternoon nomi- nated the three citizens who, with the chief of engineers of the army and the Engineer Com- missioner of the District, are to constitute the Rock Creek Park commission. The three civilians nominated are Gen. Henry V. Boyn- ton, who is well known as chief of the Wash- ington bureau of the Cincinnati Commercial- Gazette; Samuel P. Langley, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and KR, Ross Perry, a leading member of the District bar. The promptness of the President's action and the wisdom of his selections have given much Satisfaction te the citizens who for years have worked to secure the establishment of the park and who now look forward to an early realization of their bopes, Gen. Boynton, who has resided in Washington ever since the war and kuows the wants and the aspirations of the community as few men know them, has been a steady and powerful friend of the park project éver since its incep- tion, and has asa journalist given much careful consideration to the matter. Prof. Langley when seeking a location for the Zoological gar- den explored the park region thoroughly and knows all of its abilities as arural park, Mr. Perry has been a warm and intelligent ad- vocate of the. measure, is familiar with the region, knows fully what is needed and brings to the council table cf the commission an inti- mate knowledge of the laws they may have to consult, DUTIES OF THE COMMISSION. This commission is to manage all the pro- ceedings under the park law. The section of the law creating the commission is as follows: “That the chief of engineers of the United States army, the Engineer Commu District of Columbia and three citizens to be — by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, be, and they are hereby, created a commission to select the land for said park, of tho quantity and within the limits aforesaid, and to have the same sur- veyed by the assistant to the suid Engineer Commissioner of the District of Columbia in charge of public highways, which said assistant shall also act as executive officer to the said commission.” The commission is directed to have a map of the park made showing the location, quantity and character of each parcel of private prop- erty to be taken for the purpose, with the names of the owners, which map shall be re- corded in the land records. Such parcels shall upon the filing of the map be held as con- demned for public use satheok to the payment of just compensation, to be determined by the commission and approved by the President. The bill provides for a proceeding of condem- nation through the courts in cases where the commussion and the owners are unable to agree asto price, The commission is to assess the benefits accruing to property adjacent to the park and perform all other offices required by the law to secure the park tothe peopie. When thi done the park is to be placed under the joint control of the District Commissioners and the chief of engineers of the army, who are charged to undertake as soon as practicable the laying out of roads and the making of regulations looking to the “Sagas of the natural beauties of the park. WHAT GEN. BOYNTON SAYS ABOUT THE PARK. Gen. H. V. Boynton said toa Star reporter today that he had no idea that he was thought of as one of the Rock Creek Park commission- ers until his name was sentin. If confirmed, he said, he would endeavor to perform the duties conscientiously. In view of the probable growth of the city within the next twenty- five or fifty years, he regarded the provision for this park as ono of the most important things for the District that Congress has done. “While in a sense Washington is a park in itself,” he said, ‘‘we have no great park corre- sponding to Druid Hill Park, Prospect Park, Central Park or Fairmount, which add so much to the beauty aud health of the cities in which they are located. Washington needs just such a park and will need it more as the city grows. It is in every sense a national fair.” DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, TWO POSTHUMOUS CLATMS, Senator Barbour this afternoon offered a resolution, which was referred to the District committee, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to cause the proper accounting ofti- cers of the District to examine and audit the claims of the legal representatives of the estate of George W. G. Eslin, deceased, and Michael Shiner, deceased, and to certify to Congress the sums due for work done for the District and the amount paid so as to show the balance due said estates. TRUST, LOAN AND MORTGAGE COMPANIES. ‘The Senate yesterday agreed to the confer- ence report on the Senate bill to provide for the incorporation of trust, loan, mortgage and certain other corporations within the District of Columbia. On motion of Senator Ingalls the House amendments to the bill were con- curred in and the agreement arrived at. LOOKING TO ADJOURNMENT. If the Senate Votes on the Tariff Bill Tonight the Session Will Close To- morrow. Everything is cleared up for an adjournment tomorrow, if the Senate votes on the tariff reporttoday. The tariff bill and all others that are ready for the President's signature before the close of the session have been enrolled, the clerks having taken advantage of every opportunity to advance their work and have been busy night and day. About the clerk's office today there was an active scene, people intrerfsted in various measures which have passed both houses being on hand with anxious inquiries as to whether the bills would be en- rolled in time to get the President's signature, Both men and women wero hanging on to the button hole of Mr. McPherson, while ques- tions have been poured in his ears, A little hitch oceurred in the tariff bill because of a disagreement of num- bers of sections, and while it was an unimpor- tant matter it was regarded as best to make the correction by resolution, which will be passed by both houses. It is the intention of Mr. Aldrich to have a vote on thereport in the Senate Vefore ad- journment today, though to do this the session may last until late tonight, Mr. Carlisle first made his reputation in the House by his tariff speech. Today he sur- passed that effort and sprang to a position be- yond the most sanguine expectations of his friends. But the most powerful part of his speech was the attack upon the proposed sugar bounty. He attacked not the constitutionality of the provision, butits validity, and quoted the highest judicial’ authority from Maine to Cali- fornia declaring such an act beyond the scope and power of legislation. THE GUY CASE. Mr. Hine Records His Vote Before Surrendering His Office. Commissioner Douglass yesterday afternoon went to Rockville to confer with Col. Robert on the disposition of the Guy case. It is under- stood that the colonel and Mr. Douglass could not come to any agreement, Early today Mr. H. O. Claughton, the at- torney for Lieut. Guy, called upon the Com- missioners and asked that something be done at once. Mr. Douglass suggested that Mr. Hine record his vote, and that as soon as Col. Robert recovered they could talk the matter over among themselves and de- cide the case. To this Mr Claughton en- tered objection, holding that with the retirement of Commissioner Hine the court ceased. Ho d that the civil Commissioners decide the case today. Mr. Hine said be was ready at anytime. Mr. uestioned Mr. Claughton’s state- ment that Commissioner Hine could not record his vote and suggested that the attorney for the District be summoned. Ac- cordingly Attorney Hazelton was Sgro POSTMASTER WHEAT DENIES. He Says He Never Got a Cent From Employes of the Office. A. G. Beeks, a messenget in the House post office, was the first witness called today in the investigation of the charges against Post- master Wheat by the House committee on ac- counts, He testified in effect that Walter ‘Wheat, the postmaster's son, did his work in an efficient manner. The postmaster had always treated witness courteously and kindly. S. 8. Daish, at present the contractor for carrying the mails, said be had bought some horses from the ptevious contractor, Culbert- son, who gave him some days to pay for them.
