DISTRICT COURTS TOBAVE JORISDICHION Secretary of the Treasury to Take Full Possession. ————— FUTURE MANAGEMENT ———— Senator Mergan concluded his examina- tion of Mr. © P. Huntington before the Pacific railroads committee last Saturday, and yesterday he introduced a resolution that may be taken as his proposition to solve the troublesome problem presented by e affairs of the ion and Central Pacific roads. There are two fundamental ideas in his plan—a refunding of the bonds, both the government and first mortgage, and a foreclosure of the claim of the gov- ernment on the possession of the roads and their property. Naturally, the scheme is ed at great length, but is not put at present in the formal language of an act of Congress, but in the shape of a resolu- tion of the Senate, directing the Pacific railroads committee to report a bill em- bodying the various features set forth by nator Morgan. When he presented it yesterday he asked to have it lie upon the #ble, and gave notice that he would call it up for action at a later date. It is prac- ically certain that he will make a speech of some length when he moves the passage of the resolution, which will embody all his views on the subject, and will probably analyze in a vigorous manner the volumi- nous testimony given by Mr. Huntington in his recent examinations. Provisions of the Resolution. The resolution first directs the committee to report to the Senate the bill (S. 1131) heretofore referred, granting to the Court of Appeals of the District exclusive juris- diction over any and all suits that may be brought by the United States to enforce or obtain other relief upon any lien on any railway or property belonging to railway corporations, wherever such property may be situated. After having thus fixed the venue by statute the proposed plan is then set forth in twenty-three provisions, which the com- mittee is instructed to report as an original bill or as amendments to the bill already noted. The first provision is for refunding the outstanding bonds, held by bona fide vners not indebted to the United States, that have been heretofore i. United States to the Union Pacific Railroad Company or any of its branch railroads, or to the Cent fic Lailroad Company or any of its branc’ ; and aiso for refunding the first mortgage bonds that are a first lien upon the railroads or their branches, and upon any other property of either of the compani ‘e bonds shail be refunded in the s of the United States to mature efter thirty years, at the option of the govern- and subject at any time after ten to be called in anl paid by the Uni- tates; and to bear interest at 3 per cent. To Take Possession. In accordance with the fifth section of the act of July 1, 1862, aiding the road’s con- struction, the Secretary of the Treasury is to take possession of the whole line of the railroad and telegraph, together with the rolling stock, fixtures and property of every s ripticn in possession of the Union and Central Pacific Railroad compa- nies, i equipments of every sort, that built under the provisions of that act of Congress, or any amendment thereof, to- ith all their rights, functions, im- and appurtenances, and also all ranted to aad belonging to either of e railroad companies that have not been conveyed to bona fide purchasers. Until all otherwise direct, the property 1 and controlled as the property ited States, to be administered in conformity with the general/uses and pur- for which the railroad companies were tuted, and under the laws regulating and controlling the companies. The bill is to create for the railroad com- panies a board of directors to control and manage loth of them, who shall supersede the existing boards of directors in each of said railroad companies in full direction and control. This board of directors shall con- of nine citizens of the United States, to the advice and consent of the Senate. They all be competent business men, four of whom shall reside in states lying east of the Mis ippi river and four west of that river. resident of the United States is to gnate one of the appointees as president aid board of directors, and he may be appointed from, or reside in, any part of the United States. Present Officers to Be Suspended. The offices of president, vice president and treasurer, as they now exist in each of the companies, are suspended as to the present incumbents, and as to all their functions, and the president of the board of directors andthe general treasurers shall exercise such du as appropriately bhe- long by law, or by the by-laws of the com- panies, to such officers. The board of di- rectors are empowered to alter the by-laws. All cther officers and employes of each of the companies are continued in office and employment until they are removed by au- thority derived from this act; and the president of the board of directors is em- powered to remove any officer or employe in the service of either of said companies except the directors and general treasurers. Dividends Until Debts Are Paid. No stockholder in either railroad com- pany shall receive any dividend on his stock unti! the debts of the company, the payment of which is mot secured by this act, shall have been paid, nor shall such stockhelder receive any dividend on his stock, in either of said companies, until the interest Is paid upon all bonds for which the United States or the company that issued such stock is liable, and until the sald sink- ing fund is fully paid for the fiscal year in which, or for which, such dividend is de- clared. “The government of the United States,” installments.

Stahl against Stilson Hutchins, for specific performance of a contract alleged to have been entered into between them April 5, 3895. Mr. Stahl says that at the time he possessed a mortgage on the property and assets of the Old Glory Gold Mining and Milling Company of Arizona. Of the amount secured by the mortgage $7,600 belonged to one Crocemb and to one Peyrone, who had previously assigned and transferred their in- terest therein to Mr. Hutchins. The com- plainant also says that he assigned and transferred to Mr. Hutchins his interest in the mortgage, Mr. Hutchins agreeing, he as- serts, to pay him $8,000 and deliver to him $44,400 in the bonds of said company. The money, the complainant states, has been paid to him, but he claims that Mr. Hutchins has failed and refused to hand the bonds over. Therefore, Mr. Stahl prays that Mr. Hutchins be compelled to deliver the bonds to him, or that he be awarded the value of them, $44,400. Mr. Stahl is represented by Attorneys W. S. Monteith and Obear & Douglas. ——— For Sale and Partition. For the sale and partition of lot 14, square 616, Sarah Connor and others have filed a bill in equity against John F. Connor and others.

Detective Rhodes narrowly escaped death Thursday night when he made an effort to capture Robert Simms, a young colored man, who was being pursucd by a crowd of men and boys in South Washington. Three offic Detectives Rhodes, Hean and Boyd—were together, and they were looking for thieves who had committed a robbery two nights previous. They were near the corner of Sd and G streets when they heard cries of “police” and “stop thief.” Simms was leading the crowd, and the de- tectives made an effort to apprehend him. Detective Helan was it to grab at him, but he failed, and then Detective Rhodes made an attempt. Like his paru he was unsuccessful, and the young colored man drew his revolver and fired at him. Simms’ aim was bad, or the officer dodged the bul- let at the proper time, and his life was saved. The fugitive did not stop until De- tective Lacy fired two shots to frighten him, and then the much-frightened fugitive dropped his revolver and was arrested. The weapon, a 3s-caliber pearl and nick- eled revolver, was produced in court, and the officers also told of having found’a set of crap bones on him. “They were winning bone said De- tective Lacy, “and are what are known as ‘top and bottom.’ ” Although a murder was narrowly averted, the prisoner was only charged with simple assault and concealed weapons. Lawyer Sillers appeared as counsel for him and entered pleas of guilty in the cases. The court heard the evidence of the officers and then heard what Simms had to say. He said he came here from Atlanta, Ga., and works about stables, caring for race horses. The pistol he had for self-protec- tion while on cars with horses. Counsel for the defendant said that when he questioned his client he learned from him that he thought he was not violating the law by carrying the pistol, for the reascn that he had been told that this city was not in the United States. “But,” added counsel, “he'll find out now that he’s in the United States.” Judge Miller said he thought a cage was the proper place tor Simms and gave him one year in jail. ——___ A Juror Attacked. Last weck Warner Wright was tried in the Police Court on a charge of keeping an unlicensed bar, and considerable trouble was experienced in the case, because, it was stated, two of the gcvernment witnesses had been sent away. After a lengthy hear- ing the czse was submitted and the jury failed to agree. Today Mr. Pugh, the prosecuting attorney for the District, called the court’s attention to the case, and said he had been informed that one of the jurors, Harry Sweeney, had taken upon himself considerable interest in the matter and made an investigation while the Case was pending. ’ He cited Policeran Greer as the man who had given the juror information, and the policeman was sent for. ;He responded, and while Ife admitted haying, been ap- proached and questioned abput the case, he said that Sweeney was not thé man who approached him. id “This whole charge is entirely false,” sald the juror. “I never spoke td that policeman in my lif ) wi Others were called as witriesse8, but none of them said anything against’ the juror and the matter was dropped. — Nearly a Tragedy.- Last night about the time People were assembling in the auditorium of the Cen- tral Union Mission there camechear being a tragedy enacted in the Kitchen. Daniel Shea, Joseph Roberts and James Brown figured on one side, while Richard Maher was their opponent. Maher is employed in the capacity of watchman about the bulld- ing, a position similar to that formerly held by Joseph Roberts. It was not made clear just how the fight started, but Policeman Elliott was attracted there by the crashing of glass, caused by the throwing of a tea cup through the window. When he went into the eating branch of the establishment he learned that a coffee pot and carving Knife had figured in the affair, but fortu- nately no serious damage had been in- flicted. The three men were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and assault, and Judge Miller heard the case today. They were fined $5 or 15 days each for disorderly conduct, and the assault charge was dis- missed, the court remarking that this shoe had been put or the wrang foot. PWANTED (Miscellaneous).

During the debate in the Hous? yester- day afternoon on the Inebriate Asylum bill, Mr. Little of Arkansas raised objections to liquor selling in the Capitol building. “The manasement of this building, which should commend itself to the rhoral senti. ments of our people, has become the object of thelr attertion and scorn,” said Mr. for one, believe it to be a public dis- grace, sir, that liquors are permitted to be disposed of and sold in the Capitol building of this great nation. This bill seems to be dealing with drunkards. I think it is legiti- Mate to cut off the source of supply that makes drunkards. In fact, I think it would be germane to this bill to prohibit the sale of liquor in the District of Columbia, be- cause if it Is a competent matter to treat drunkards who have become complete in- ebriates, it seems to me it is entirely proper to so amend the bill as to cut off the cause that creates the necessity for the asylum provided for in this bill. “In all earnestness, I apeal to the chair- man of the committee to permit this amendment, which I offer in good faith, to be voted upon. I do think that every mem- ber of this House ought to be interested in Griving from this Capitol the sale of liquor. it is not a question of prohibition, but of decency, and I do think it is a public dis- grace to have open saloons in the Capiiol building. They are nothing short of that. ‘There is no use in concealing it or attempi- ing to hide it. We simply ought to face the situation and say whether we are willing to tolerate it or not. I insist that the amendment is germane, and that there is no parliamentary law with which I am ac- quainted that shuts it out. “I desire, Mr. Chairman, to take this op- portunity to bear testimouy to the personal sobriety of the members of this House. Out of the large number of Representatives, it is rare indeed to see one intoxicated. And while it gives me much pleasure to say this, it pains me that this public disgrace should be allowed to continue. You may rule out this amendment, but I warn you that I shail introduce an independent bill for this purpose, and press it to a deci. Let us have our Capitol building so ™ eged that we can welcome the v! patriot or saint, of our w without the blush of sham: —— ~ DING TH naked by the New York Presbytery for His Recent Remarks. At the meeting of the New York pres- bytery last night the Rey. Dr. Charles L. Thompson, chairman of the committee on home missions, reported that the meeting in Carnegie Hall ulted in a collection of $6.058, out of which only $125 was to be paid for the expenses of the speakers that night. The Rev. Dr. John C. Bliss submitted a reso- lution thanking the speakers on that occa- sion, and especially President Cleveland. When the resolution was read Kiliaen Van Rennselaer, an elder of the New York Pres- byterian Church, said: “I am not a member of the presbytery, consequently can offer no moticn, but I would suggest that the presbytery insert in that resolution some ex- pression of its disapproval at the unj attack being made upon the President by some of the politicians in Washington on account of what he said at the meeting here. “We all know of the spirit in which he spoke those eloquent words. We know there Was no intention on the President's part to attack any section or any people. He only mentioned what is well known to every- body—that the class which settles a new country like Oklahoma and other western places, the people who are known as ‘boom- ers,’ always set up bar rooms and gambling houses the first thing. The attack on him is being made by politicians for political effect, and should be rebuked.” “Does any one desire to make a motion to this effect?” asked the moderator. No one responded, and the original resolution was adopted unanimously. soe The Indiana Disabled. As the battle ship Indiana was about to start from Hampton Roads yesterday for Port Royal, 8. C., to be docked the stem of one of the high pressure valves was bent, and the vessel was obliged to defer her departure until repairs can be made. As it is regarded as necessary that the ship should enter Port Royal without de- lay in order to take advantage of the spring tide, an officer was started at once from the Cramps’ works at Philadelphia with a valve stem taken from the Massa- chusetts, the Indiana’s sister ship, and he will arrive on board the Indiana today, so that the repairs can probably be com- pleted and the ship be sent off tomorrow. —~. Executive Clemency, The President has commuted to six months’ imprisonment the sentenze of two years imposed in Oklahoma upon Wah-hu- no-pa, allas O-shan-kok, for assault with intent to kill. He has pardoned Nathan Blum, convicted in Oregon of smuggling and conspiracy; F. M. Salisbury, convicted in Oregon of misusing penalty envelopes; Charlie C. Rose, sentenced in West Vir- ginia to five years in the reform school for passing counterfeit money. ——_—_-e.—____ Acts Approved. ‘The President has approved the Military Academy appropriation bill, the invalid pension appropriation bill, the act author- izing the construction of a bridge across ake Saint Francis, in Arkansas; the act relating to the anchorage and movements of vessels in St. Mary's river; the act granting the Columbia and Red Mountain Railway Company right of way throagh the Colville Indian reservation, and the act granting a pension to Julia A.

Th ——— Village Elections in Michigan. Village elections were held throughout Michigan yesterday. The issues were sole- ly of a local character in nearly every town and general politics cut scarcely any figure. Citizens and independent tickets were numerous. Where party lines were drawn republicans were for the most part the winners, so far as reported, but the democrats furnished a few surprises. FINANCIAL. DoYou WantGold? We Have It in Sight. On one of the propertics controlled by the Piedmont Gold Belt Chartered Co. there is 9 pile of THIRTY THOUSAND TORS of ore raised by an English company in ‘59 and "60, and worked for free gold. The crudest pro- cesses were used. The ore will yicld $10 per ton by modern pro- cesees, and can be worked for less than $1.30. Can you figure the profit? ‘This company controls over 6 miles of yein_mat- ter, ores averaging $20 per ton, besides the above exceptionally valuable property. We offer the full-pald non-assesseble stock of the Piedmont Gold Belt Chartered Company at 35 cents per share.
