The Receiver Asks Authority to Is- sue Certificates to Meet the Pay Roll. In the litigation over the Belt Line Rail- way Company, the American Security and ‘Trust Company, trustee under a deed of trust given by the railway company July 1, 1891, to secure the payment of 1,000 30- year $500 bonds, has filed a cross-bill ask- ing the court to determine the order of ‘priority of the indebtedness -of the clatms against the Pelt Line company and order @ sale of all of the property of the com- pany. The cross bill points out that the interest on the bonds became due July 1, 1897, and that it remsins unpaid, as well &s interest due September 15, 1807, on certain other bonds. It 1s also asserted that the road has been run st a loss for more than a year, and that ft is tota!ly insolvent. In unswer to ubis cross bill, it is claimed that the ratlway company had no legishilve authority te execute the decd of trust and that they were not sold in the mamner, at the time nor for the purposes specified in the deed of trust. Also that a !arge part cf their proceeds was used in paying al- leged dividends on the stock of the com- pany. It is also claimed on behalf of the road that before any sale all questions as to the validity of all liens and their respective priorities should be determined by final ad jucication. Also, that the sale, if one be decided upon, should be made in separate parcels. Receiver Schoepf has retitioned the court for authority to at once issue recelver's cer- Uficates to the amount of $2,100, at 6 per cent interest, to have priority over other claims and payable at a time in the dis- cretion of the court. In doing so, Mr. Schoepf says, he last month advanced $2,- 017.64 out of his own pocket to pay the em- ployes, but says the above mentioned cross- bill has destroyed all hope of obtaining further credit, and he is wholly without means to meet the pay roll of about $2,100, due next Sun , or purchase feed for the sh on hand yesterday being Judge Cox todas Security and Trust Company to show cause Monday next why Mr. Schoepf should not be given such authority. The other ques- tions may also be heard then. eae OHIO NATIONAL BANK. directed the American Meeting of Stockholders to Decide Question of uaidation, Tuesday next there will be a meeting of the stockfiolders of the Ohio National Bank which is located at the northwest corner of 12th and G streets northwest, for the pur- pose, as already state in The Star, of voting upon the voluntary Hquidation of the bank. As announced, it is probable that the ma- jority of the stockholders will vote on the affirmative side of this proposition, and it is further ted that the stockholders will probably decide to begin the liquidation on the last day of this month. it understood to be the intention of ex- Representative Taylor of Ohio, who is the president of the bank, as soon as the af- fairs of the Ohio National are in course of liquidation, to organize a new bank, which will combine the features of vings bank ané one of commercial business, or what pe understood by the general term ate bank. This new institution will probably occupy the present quarters of the Ohio National Bank. It is the purpese of the cashier of the bank, Mr. William Oscar Roome, in con- nection with others, to open a bank under a charter obtained from the state of West Virginia. This bank is to be a savings in- tution purely, and is to be located on the hundred wild, or p: been seen in that state.

How a Mother -Concealed Herself From Her Child. From the LouisviN> Goyrier-Journal. I remember a story that I did not write. It is not a pretfyisiory. You must go to~ the slums with me if you wish to hear it. For there is no gilded vice in such a little Felty as ours. Tkereyis only the thinnest, yellow veneer, ‘ked at that, over the revolting bareness. In the bygone years, among the women, graced with the name of women by sex, though seemingly by no other attribute, was one, notorious. Viler than she there was none, and more than one crime Stan@s opposite her name in the police records. Theft, murder and suicide take the police reporters day after day into-the quarters of the city that such as she inhabit, and it was while making my daily round of news points that I soon scented a mystery. On two afternoons each week a closéd carriage would wait at the -street corner nearest the house of this harridan. A woman gowned in black -and wearing a thick crape veil would leave the house, walk hurriedly to the corner, enter the carriage and be driven westward. The problem was an easy one for a re- porter to solve. A bribe to the driver of the carriage, a trip down town, a pleusible lie to one of the good sisters in a Catholic institution, a chat with one of her pupils and I had the chief facts of the story. The scarlet woman and the crape-clad one were the same. Each visit of hers to the con- vent was to see a pretty child, fast growing into womanhood. And there in the dimly- lighted room the pure girl in her demure, conventual dress would sit by the hour listening to stories of her mother from the lips of the woman who called herself that mother’s friend. They were stories of a happy childhood spent in a country town, of girlish merry-makings, of life in an old farm house among the elms after a youth- ful marriage, and, last, of an early death. And they were true, these stories—all true. For there are deaths and deaths. These visits and these talks had been going on for years before I knew of them. ‘They lasted for several years afterward. And during all that time the veil of the visitor was never lifted in the convent par- lor; the Nps of the woman,never touched those of the girl. ‘Trained with jealous care by good women, the child grew into wom- anhood, and it was time for her to leave the only home she knew. About this time the notorious woman disappeared from Louisville. The police here knew she was continuing her career in an eastern city, and within the year came the news of her death from morphine poisoning. Long be- fore that, however, the girl in the convent had been told that her mother’s friend was dead and by will had left her a Ifttle co! tage in a town far west of here, and an in- come large encugh to keep her from temp- tation and want. The sisters knew the wretched woman’s secret. No others did. It was a good story from a reporter’s view-point. But somehow I kept thinking of the veiled woman whose face was never shown, whose lips never touched her child's, who never feit the re- sponsive arm-clasp of a daughter drawn to a mother’s breast, and I did not write the story. i +e. ARTH TREMBLE. MADE THE Fall of a Meteor That Left Three Giant Cloud Rings in the Sky. From the Helena [erald. Some interesting information concerning the recent fall of a big meteor fs furnished by R. L.

From the Baltimore American. There is nothing which more illustrates the progress of science and invention than the deercase in size, weight and mechan- ism of locks and keys since these instru- ments were first put in use for the purpose of keeping out intrusive strangers. Years ago these mediums to secret chambers were made of wrought iron, and were of ponderous size and weight. The nineteenth century, however, has made wonderful improvements on these instruments.

FIVE REMARKABLE TREES. Which Rank Among the Curiosities of Plant Life. From the Philadelphia Times. The ‘whistling tree,” or acacia fistula, is found in Nubia and the Soudan. The Arabs call it “soffar,” or pipe, because of the whistling sound that it produces, and the specific name of “fistula,” a word also meaning pipe or flute, has been given it for the same reason. Insects infest the tree, and deposit their eggs in its shoots. A gall-like excrescence, about an inch and a half in diameter, is produced at the base of the shoots, and when the larvae have emerged from the circular holes in the sides of the shoots, the holes, played upon by the wind, pro- duce a whistlirg scund equal to that pro- duced by a sweet-toned flute. The “cow tree’ is so called because it yields an abun¢@ant supply of milk. To ob- tain the milk deep incisions are made in the tree, from which the fluid flows into vessels placed ready to receive it. This vegetable milk is white, somewhat viscid and has an agreeable flavor, and an analy- sis of it shows that it is very much like the milk of a cow in its composition.

Its effects are curious; it causes great pain to the person er animal that has the misfortune to get stung by it, but it leaves no wound, no mark of any kind. And for inonths afterward the part stung is painful in rainy weather or when, in any way, it gets wet.
