'Hie great combination scheme is the Hole topic of conversation in railroad circl* and the Indianapolis News says that Mr. .Sag*% with hi* coadiutors, will consolidate the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, Wheeling & Uike Krle, Cincinnati, Fort Wavbe & Michigan, th Iowa Central, and* the Minnesota Northwestern roads. The move was inspired primarily bv the manner in which the C. II. A T. road was crowded out and deprived of iu» connections by the consolidation of other roads. Mr. R. B. F. Pierce, chief of the two trustee# who are in charge of the operating of the indianapo!in, Decatur A Western road, was asked this morning whether .his road is to become a part of the consolidation. To enable the consummation of the scheme of Mr. Sage, it is necessary that a line be secured between Indianapolis and I eorixt, as the Iowa Central and Minneapolis Northwestern roads lack just that space of connecting on to the road* in the east«:rn part of the proposed Hyntern. "Yen," Mr. l5ieree said, "the L, I). & W. is to he made the connecting link of the new system in conjunction with the Peoria, Decatur Kvunsville, which will be used let ween Decatur and Peoria. I do not, know" just how soon th© new order of things will go into operation, but it will be soon. Whim I had my last ronference with the gentlemen who are at the head of the movement, things were getting into excellent sba}»e.n "D.HH thi« mean the nale of the I. D, iV W. to the *»ge syndicate?"

DAVITT

Sic

IS TALKING.

FromiMt KMrtlins DUcloiurM and Kxp«cla(lon I* on Tiptoe. LONDON,

October

Druux, October

30.—[Special.]—In

his speech before the Parnell special commiasion Michael Davitt is daily scoring pointa in favor o£ the Parnellites and adding to his already established reputation as an eloquent and forcible orator. As his speech progresses public interest in the proceedings, which at the resumption of the sitting of the commission had become dormant by reason of the withdrawal of Mr. Parnell from the case, awakens and the court-room is again assuming the appearance it presented when the nationalist defendant*

were

engaged In

their daily occupation of knocking down the foundation of forgery, perjurv and fraud upon which the case of the Times was based. To-day Mr. Davitt held his audience almost breathless while he recited his experiences during the Irish famine in 1S4S, and moistened the eyes of iranv of his hearers when he pictured his prison life, an episode of which was his oeing yoked to a cart like a beast of burden because with his single arm he was unable to perform the tasks imposed upon him as a man with two arms could liave done. It is quite evident from intimations made by Mr. Daritt from time to time in the course of his address, that he is on the eve of making some startling disclosures, and this assumption is fortified bv an article in the Freeman's Journal, which asserts that the father of the Land I^eague is rapidly drawing his adversaries to the verge of the precipice over which they will inevitably be hurled. The disclosures are said to affect the Times to a greater degree than did even the confession of the infamous Pigott, and to be of a character rendering it almost impossible for the "cut and dried" commission to sustain a single allegation made by that paper.

INJUSTICE IN IRELAND.

A Few ,*l«n are Jill That Nnvc the Pritoit****. J/OXDOX, October ao.—Tbe roBult of the trial of iarmer (iallagher, at Maryboro, yesterday for complicity in the killing of Police Inspector Martin, isequally as surprising as the outcome of the trial of the peasant, Coll, last week. Although the jury in the ease of Coll was openly packed to convict, few believed that the twelve men would have the nerve to ignore the evidence and bring in a verdict of guilty, and predictions of a disagreement were freely made. When, however, it was seen that the men selected by the prosecution were quite as shameless as the crown officials believed them to be, all hope of escape for the other prisoners was abandoned, and a twenty-year sentence for each seemed to be'assured. Itturnsout, however, that there are some men among the opponents of home-rule in Ireland who can not conscientiously bring themselves to the |Hint of consigning a fellow-coun-tryman to imprisonment for nearlv a quarter of a century for the crime ot entertaining political opinions at variance with their o^fl, though it i* too tru« that tlieir number is exceedingly small.

IK).--[Later.]—Sen

tences were pronounced to-day on the prisoners who were on trial at Mansborough, for the murder of police inspector Martin Coll, who was condemed to ten years of penal servitude. Of the prisoners who pleaded guilty of man* slaughter Koartv and Rogers were sentenced each to 7 years imprisonment, Met ice too years and others to si", months imprisonment. Of ten who were allowed to plead guiltv to misdemeanor three were sent to jail for six months, one for three months and the remainder for two mouths at hard labor.

I.ie at the Bottom.

At the appointed hour for the departure from the Vandalia yards this morning of the Terre Haute and Logan.sport local freight train, only one member of the crew put in an appearance, and the local did not leave until some hours after its scheduled time. Finally another crew was made up to take the train out and they got away about the middle of the forenoon.

No one seems to have any definite knowledge as to why the men who formerly conducted the train in question did not report for dutv at the proper hour. Nevertheless, at that time only one of them was on the ground, and, it being about 3:30 o'clock in the morning, the others in all likelihood were snugly stowed away in their little beds. The gentleman who was promptly on hand was W. W. Pettit. He was ready to go out atthe'scheduled time, but none of his fellow-brakemen showing up, he returned to his boarding house for the purpose of enjoying what is to him a rarity—a warm breakfast. I^ater in the morning his baby was taken seriously ill, and going to the vardmaster he secured the privilege of laying off for to-day.

at fault: Cal Wilson, the conductor, complained that he had a sprained ankle. F. S. Olds didn't have any switch key. And Taylor absolutely refused to go out on account of sickness. These are the excuses. The train leaves here at 4 o'clock in the morning and runs 110 miles to Logansport, reaching that city from 8 to 10 o'clock at night. The return trip is commenced at 5 o'clock the next morning and is accomplished by from 10 o'clock that night till barely time the following morning to start 's$&t again. The train goes to Logansport ^Monday, returning Tuesday, back to Logan.sport Wednesday, returning Thursday and laying here Friday. Saturday it- goes to Logan sport again. Such are its runs. The switching is exceedingly heavy and the work all along the line is hard. It is rumored that the intention was to. throw a part of the switching which the local switch engine has leen doing on to the local freiglit,. in addition to its already more tliau full quota, and it is probably not far amiss of the truth to say that this intelligence, having .reached the ears of the local Ireight crew, had something to do with their failure, to show up this morning. It is known that the amount of switching which the local switch engine has on ifs hands at F.llsworth, Otter Creek Junction, Uosedale and Miushall, is more than it can attend to wHh convenience, ami it was part pf this which was likely to be truiii-iei red to the loeal freight. An extra switching crew was sent out one day this week to assist the regular engine, but it was taken oil'the next day and probably its lirst run was its last.

October 29.—The 'evening

Journal says: "It would be interesting to know whether the picture which arrived here is that of the man arrested in Philadelphia. There are some strange things about this Tascott busines, and it may be that the right man's picture did not land in the office of the Chicago chief-of-police. There was a rumor around this morning that a telegram addressed to some member of the Snell family had been delivered last night to the police and opened, and that as a consequence there had been a very big row. It was said that Mr. Stone visited the telegraph office at 3 o'clock this morning and stormed about, threatening to sue for damages and cause some summary dismissals from the office force. Chief Hubbard strongly denied any knowledge of the affair. Mr. Stone was a little but only a little more communicative about it.

A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, saying the prisoner might be Bowman, a recently released convict, was shown Chief Wood and he interrogated the man in regard to it. After some evasive replies Sutherland finally acknowledged that under the name of Samuel Bowman he had, in company with Joe Howard, been sentenced to two years and a half in the Ohio State penitentiary for robbing a jewelry salesman at Urbana, Ohio, of S3,500 worth of goods. He served two years and was released last April. Sutherland will be given a hearing Thursday on the charge of passing checks bearing the forged signature of J. P. Wood, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania milroad. Mr. Wood will then appear against hiiu and as the forger has admitted his guilt it is expected he will soon be serving a term of years in the shite prison.

The steamship Kanf.vha, belonging to the Chesapeake it Ohio railroad, brought to port this morning the shipwrecked crews of the steamship Cleopatra, from West Point, Ya., for New York, and the pleasure steamer Cnstal Wave, which collided yesterday morning in the thick fog of Delaware Cape. Most of the sailors of the two latter vessels wen? below in bunks at the time of the collision and only watchers were on deck. The Cleopatra crashed into the Crystal Wane and the latter began to sink immediately. The Cleopatra was also in danger of sinking and both vessels fired signals of distress which were almost immediately answered by a ship not far distant and just aa the condition of the sinking steamers was becoming desperate the Kanawha appeared through the fog. The crews of the two disabled ships lowered boats and rowed to the Kanawha. No one was lost. The Crystal Wane and Cleopatra sank. The loss is estimated at $100,000.
