RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.

MANY IMPORTANT RULINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS MADE.

ASJI RSCITON.

September .X).—[S{ecial.

Secretary Noble has received the annual report of Commissioner of Railroads Taylor for the fiscal year ending .June .'X) la«t. As Taylor wa« not appointed to the tKifiition until July 17. tne work of the burean loes not come under him and he confine** himself to recommendations. Several niilrc^adg which received land grant« from the state refused to report Cb the niilroarl commu»ioner who differs from them and claim* that a# the states received land from the I'nited States and then gave grants to railroads it is the same as if they were granted directly. He has these railroads to the Secretary of the Interior for judicial action. The commissioner next devotes himself tothesubject of the rate wars between railroads. He says tliat in most cases they are devoid of palliation or excuse and that they destroy or imiM*ril the value of railroad securities ana impose unjust burdens upon tlifi, commerce of the country. The commissioner disagreed with tne claim of railroad managers that the recent losses sustained were due to restrictive laws enacted by Congress and various States. He believes that in many sections of the west, notably in Iowa and Kansas, roar!8 have mone mileage than necessary and therefore run at a loss. The commissioner also expresses a Ijelief that railroad managers do wrong in fighting to secure trade through competing in the state for developing local traffic. The commissioner endorses the recommendation of his predecessor in favor of enacting a law providing for the funding of debits of bonded roads. He believes, also, in extending time and reducing the rate of interest. He opposes regular fixed payments and thinks that, the law must not lie too strict for in that event he sees that railroads could not le able to meet them and the government might be compelled to pay oil" prior liens and take possession of the roads, liesides the extension of time and reduction of interest the commissioner decides that the roads la* required to pay a certain per cent, of gros)" earnings to the liquidation of indebUrdncss to the government. Then in years of depression the roads could not pay so much on indebtedness, while in prosperous years I hey could do better. In conclusion he gives a complete statement of the indebtedness of the Pacific railroad, etc., and shows that it will be impossible to pay all oil"at maturity.

TH£ UNHAPPY GENERAL.

DEPRESSED OVKH THK DEFEAT OF HIS PARTY IN FRANCE.

IDON, September, :(.—[Special.]— Houlanger is not in as happy frame of mind as he would have the world believe. All last week he endeavored to explain hih detent and to persuade the worltl that lie is as big a man as he was a week ago. The ellbrt has not been very successful, because the explanations have been too frequent and varied. The only point upon which IJoulanger seems to be positive is that electors were bribed hy government gold, and ballot papers manipulated by ministerial myrmidons. The anti-l'oulangist« have estimated the (ieneral's expenditure upon the recent election as L\(XH),iH)0 fmncs. while Bouianger's partisans assert with confidence that 10,000,000 francs were taken from the service final for purposes of electoral corruption. Houlanger does not seem to realize that, however it has been brought about, the fact remains he has been badly beaten, so badly, in truth that many of his time-serving followers are already deserting him.

KILLED BV CRUEL WHEELS.

On Saturday the work train on the Vandalia struck a buggy containing Timothy Lehan and Richard Stokes. Hie two men were Jn earnest conversation and when the Avhistle sounded they miscalculated the speed of the train and whipping the horse in their attempt to get across the harness broke and left the buggy upon the track. The caboose *aught the buggy and the men were dragged a long distance beneath the car, tearing their bodies into pieces. The bodies of each were disfigured beyond recognition, and were taken to Ball's undertaking establishment and were afterward taken to Ryan's morgue to await identification. The head of one of the men, which could not be found on Saturday night, Mas found on the engine yesterday morning. The horse that was driven to the buggy belonged to Lehan and was identified" by a friend at noon yesterday. l»oth men had families who had expected them home on Saturday night and as they did not arrive suspected that an accident had befallen them. Stokes was employed at the Brazil rolling mill and l^ehan, his brother-in-law had driven over for hirn. Hearing of the accident at (ilendale the families of the men sought them and identified them yesterday. The bodies are being held in the morgue to await burial, the time of which depends upon answers to telegrams sent to friends in Birmingham, Ala., and to a son of Indian's in Ohio.

Timothy Lehan was born in Ireland in 1S44, was reared in Wales and has lived here 21 years. He was married to Miss Adaline Stokes, whose brother was killed with J^ehan. He was a puddler by trade, but up to a year ago had kept a grocery, and saloon on south Thirteenth street in the property which the family now occuiv. He leaves a wife and four children, Patrick, Catherine, Agnes and John,aged •20, IS, 8 and 3 respectively.

Richard Stokes came to this city sixteen years ago from Danville, Pa., where his mother still resides. He was 32 years old and was married nine years ago to Ifanna Roberts, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Roberts, of South Fourteenth street. He was a member of the Episcopal Church. He was a puddler by trade and had been employed in the mills here until they closed down, and has since been working at the Brazil mills. He leaves a wife and four children—Sadie, Emma, Benjamin and Many—aged 8, 0, 4 and years.

Curious crowds of spectators thronged about the morgue yesterday to see the remains, but only friends were admitted. The bodies were so horribly mutilated that only immediate friends could iden (.tifytbem. r-s* -'"v

BOGUS SHEEPSKINS.

A SEN8ATI0NAL DISCOVERY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

PoitTTiMorTu, N. II., September 30.—A great sensation has been caused here by the discovery of another actively maintained bogus college of medicine similar in management and larger in extent than the Druid College of Maine, a full expose of which was made some years ago. This latest chartered institution is the Trinity university of medicine and surgery, having nominal headquarters at Bennington, Vermont. Its methods of business briefly told are these: Any person desiring to buy a diploma covering both medic me and surgery has, if possessing the necessary money, been given his choice of the folowing institutions, all of which exist merely on paper: University of Cincinnati, Montreal Medical College, New York State Medical College, Trenton (N. J.) Medical College, T"ni» versity of New Hampshire, Trinity University of Medicine and Surgery. The value* of sheepskins representing the above institutions has varied from $00 to $100 each. There is no doubt but hundreds of them have been purchased throughout the West and South, while New England alone has been victimized by scores.

GREAT SCHEME.

STATE SENATOR WALKER WILL SOLVE THE NEGRO PROBLEM WITH HIS LITTLE BILL. COFFEEVII.UK,

-Jf-

Miss., September 30.—

[Special.]—State Senator Joel

Walker,

of Meridian, Miss., thinks he has fouud a remedy by which all friction between the whites and blacks will be removed. He contends that all strife and discord that arises between races emanates entirely from politics and the demand of the negro to have the state offices divided and the avowal of the whites that no negro should hold any place wherein whites are interested. He reasons that if vou take away from the negro ail hopes of gaining political power it will dampen his ardor and zeal to go to the ballot box and by his staying away the state will remain peaceful. Mr. Walker will therefore in all probability introduce in the State Senate in January next a bill prohibiting any negro or any man with negro blood from holding political state office. He says, an4 other eminent lawyers affirm his statement, that such an act will not conflict with the Fourteenth or Fifteenth amendments to the United States Constitution. So far his proposed plan has not met with popular favor and the bill, if introduced will not likely become a law/-

A SPIRITED AFFRAY

IN ^WHICH JIM GOOSEY. NUME CARRICO AND OFFICER TRIERWEILER FIGURE.

At an early hour yesterday morning, in the west side saloons, the Sabbath stillness was rudely broken by the brawl of a pair of gentlemen who had been out the previous night for a "good time. The pair was Jim Godsey and Numan Carrico. They were very desirous of fighting to a finish, but their d6ing so was interrupted by officer Trierweiler. The latter was evaded successfully for some time and the warm-blooded getitlemen pummeled each other after the most approved fashion. In their last encounter, however, the policeman happened on the scene in time to savel^ Godsey but his adversary made gocx' his escape. Godsey was jailed with instructions to the turnkey that he was not to be released until he had sobered off. This morning the gentleman came up in Police Court and a faiir friend'of his appeared and paid his fii^e. Carrico was not out anything except what it cost liini to have his head plastered up by Dr. Laughead.

CHICAGO WILL GET IT.

Congressman John J. Adams, of this city, who has been spending a couple of weeks in Chicago, returned convinced that we have underestimated the work that is being done, in the Windy City to capture the World's fair. "Before I went west," he said yesterday, "1 thought New York was absolutely certain to get the fair and laughed at the claims of Chicago. After I had Deen in Chicago a few days I saw enough to satisfy me that we could not laugh Chicago out of the nice. They have opened headquarters almost as large as the Fifth Avenue Hotel and are simply moving heaven and earth to accomplish their object. Already over $10,000,000 has leen subscribed, but the most important step they have taken has been to secure pledges from members of Congress to vote for Chicago. Congress" will have the deciding of the question after all. The Chicago committee began writing to the Congressmen over two months ago, and 153 members, I was told, are already pledged to vote for Chicago. The day before 1 left .Senator Don Cameron came out flatly in an interview in favor of Chicago. That means that the Pennsylvania Railroad will favor the western city. Did it ever occur to von that all the trunk lines running out of this citv want the fair held in the west? Its only a matter of business with them. They will have more people to carry if the fair is held in Chicago.' —N. Y. World.
