The ' Mil of comI laint makes Theodore F. Wood complainant an. J the New York & New England road defendant. The complainant says he believe the reports as to the available aspets is untrue; that a lar? part of the Rsreto are worthies, and the actual deficiency Is more than $l,.VM,iiO. For more than thrve years past the company has operated its railroad at a lo?s. Increasing every year. The company has not ker-t tho rfi'u! in propT condition. It paid a JJ1V') dividend on Its preferred ntock in lSld wh n It had not earnwl the money. The roadbed' has become unsafe. The board of directors has managed the company's affairs In entire .lsr;ird of the interests of the compnny a-nl certain of its directors, individually and colUctivelv. have used their position and official rehtion to the company to further -thA-ir private interests at i:s rxpcn:- Tho violation of the trallic contract with the Xcw York & Northern J.crnpany and the New Knsriar.d Termii.nl Company agreement, the Il- of the Providence & Sprinstif Id Railroad Company, the U-ase of the Woonsocket & Fa.veoa railroad and the lease of the Veriden. uaterbury & Connecticut Jliver Kailmad Company are cited as instances. It Is also a.-eed that the company has impreperly pai'i dividends. New York creditors are teud to be pnssin- the company for payin m, and attachment suits are Irnpendfr , -,r" amounts of money will .soon i:ul due. There is no money for the January Interest. The cash in hand is less than i-1;1-""- The bin. therefore, asks that a receiver le appointed to prevent the disintegration of the road and to protect the interests of its stockholders and bondholders. The affidavits wen- all mad? on Dec. . with the exception of Wood's. C,rant 11 Seh ey deposes that the Urm of Moore c Scrdey. of whieh he is a member, holds -n nT!, nan'1 phres f common stock, l. c. l latt says the company is hopelessly Insolvent and must default on the January Interest, lie says the I'nited States Express Company owns more than eight thouland shares of common stock. At the ad jo umed meeting of the New York & New England stockholders, whieh convened at 2 o'clock to-day. voting was resumed on the ratification or disapproval pf the lease of the ew York, New England & Northern railroad to the New York .ew England. One hundred and thirtyTour thousand shares were voted in favor of the lease, although 113.000 would have :en umcient. The anti-.McLeod peonle thought that the necessary 18,000 shares M-oult not be forthcoming In favor of the lease, and were not a little surprised at the result Mr. McEeod says that the receiver will have nothing to say regarding the lease, as it was made before Mr Piatt was appointed. . 31r. Ilnrt Wan In to lie Receiver. PROVIDENCE. It. I.. Dec. 23.-In the United States Circuit Court, this afternoon, the two factions of the New England road camo in close contact, and in the deal which followed the Hart faction was cleverly sidetracked. It was the desire of the William T. Hart faction that, the hearing for the appointment of a receiver in Rhode Island should be heard before Judge Carpenter. To their surprise they found Judge Colt awaiting them, and, in accordance with his right, he could assume Jurisdiction in Rhode Island. Application was therefore made to Judge Colt for the appointment of a receiver. Doth factions came from Doston with th? express purpose of forestalling th other and obtaining action by the Judge. The judgo listened to the arguments of both Eide3 and then sa.d that a New York jude had appointed one receiver and a Connecticut Judge another, and now an application bad been made before him for a receiver. It was a matter of comity that the older apjiointxnent should have prior claim and, in recognition of that custom, he should appoint as receiver M. Piatt. However, he would hear the case further and adjourn court to 10 o'clock Friday, in Boston, when the attorneys mi?ht conclude their arguments. Tin: ATciuso.v kaili ue. llolnhiirt Severely Criticised hy the London Pre !u e.strM Dint rut f ul. LONDON. Dec. 2S.-The Enslteh press is sever, on what it calls the misleading statements of President Joseph W. Reinhart, of tho Atchison railway system,' as to the position of that company as cabled to London. It la claimed that these misleading statements were made while all the arrangements for the filing of the bill of the Union Trust Company for the appointment of receivers were already completed, and it is asserted that the affair destroys the last vestige of confidence which English investors might have in American railroads. The Daily News gays that the Atchison developments have made men distrustful of the very best American lines, managed by the very best and most solid men in America. The Standard doubts if a twenty-five-pr-cent. assessment on the par value of share3 would yield enough to put the line on Its Iers again. The Financial News rays the Atchison deception is in some respects the worst of ail the deceptions with which investors im this side nave teen taken in, and pronounces the opinion that the whole business is discreditable to the last decree. The Chronicle says the losses to Pritlsh investors In American railways ale due to the lad administration and market operations of ruilwuy magnates of a character which would r.ot be tolerated in this country. The Chronicle adds that payment of Interest Is often dependent, not upon the solvency of the company, but uioa the intcretJ of those in, control, judged fnm a market joint of view.

The Supreme Court of Indiana has de cided in a recent case that under certain circumstances the saloon may le proved a legal nulsanc?, and that damages may be collected from its own?r. When it was prvioed to open a saloon on a residence street in Indianapolis, v. lady and h:r neighbors protested airalnst the issuance of a llcenje. It was replied that a fee, a cer tificate of good character, ami bonds to ke?p an orderly house are sufficient to obtain a license. This judg.nf.nt was af firmed by the supreme Corrt. which later consented to a rehearing, and reversed Its former jivlgmrnt. As result, it is now held that u license to sell li'juor does not raotect the saloon keener from a suit for damages to adjacent property. The docu ment authorises a man to go into the bus!n:sa but it does not allow him to escape v-rdicts for ilamacrcs awarded by a Jury. It Is said that other suits will fonow in Indianapolis. This healthful doctrine will doubtless encourage litigation in other States. In past years It has appeared that suits against saloon kne;:crs are only evidences that the complainant is out of his mind, or ex ceedingly disposed to "make a man soler by act of parliament" or through the parliament's courts. Many a widow has lecn laughed to sorn by insolent whisky sellers and their minions. A man's life and health out?:ht to have an ascertainable value for rvnich a mother or wife may recover according to law. The drinker does not alwavs assume all nsk. He b not in the t-.,fdtion of a railway passing r who is wounded or killei by unavoidable accident. After p. man has used liquor for some time lie la not "his ov.-n master." No citizen has right to t:mpt another with impunity. Now that it is ascertained that tnere is such a thin cr saloi.n dnmage to property, it xrr.v b-e more easily d?termuied that the suloon keeper may do ihtmage to ITsons. and therefore tie assessed for that damage.

Dec. 23.-A young man named John ltudy, living at Caiuniack, Ind., who has been an Idiot since he was six years old, was caught by a coupla of toys and scared for the fun of it, a few days ago, and when released he ran home, a distance of about two miles. Rudy, who had before been harmless, then became ai dangerous maniac. Tho physicians who were called to examine Rudy .aid he might IHi.ssibly survive the crisis, and afterwards not only regain his senses, but the shock w hich had been produced . by his being scared was likely to restore him to a reasonably sound mind. This has now proven to be the case, as Rudy now talks and acts with comjvarative intelligence, and he is also harmless, as before, which is now looked uion by all as a wonderful restoration of the mind after an inaction of twenty-live years.

The election of a Democratic postmaster passed off quietly in this city to-day. The weather was unfavorabla to the polling of a large vote. The farmers did not participate largely. Charges were made rather openly during the day of the bribery of electors and other frauds. One candidate declared that although he had signed an agreement to abide by the result of the election, the frauds were so open and brazen that he would be compelled to make a squeal. Several cases of repeating are suspected. The Australian system was used and the violators of that law are t-ubject to indictment.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report

ALLEGED PENSION FRAUDS. Numerous Cases Saul to Have. Been Discovered in Baltimore BALTIMORE, Dec. 2S. United States special examiners Cutler and Feter3 admitted to-day that the report that extensive pension frauds had been discovered la this city by them was true. "We are not at liberty to make any specific statement in regard to the frauds," said Cutler, "but it is true that we have discovered many, and wo are making daily reports to Commissioner Lochren at Washington." Kxaminer Cutler further stated that about two thousand fraudulent case's had been discovered in this city which were worked up, it is alleged, by Frank Rice, an exnowspaper man of this city, who had taken two hundred logus names of persons entitled to pensions, made out applications in which he had inserted the ookus names, prepared tho applications for pensions in due form and then sold the batcn to Washington attorneys. The attorneys worked their wits nicely in hnding the alleged applicants for pensions and, failing in many cases, filed the claims with the Pension Bureau and endeavored to Induce the government to reimburse them for the money they had paid out to Rice. Rice, who, it is alleged, worked for a short time on a Baltimore newspaper, has disappeared, and, it Is rumored, died in Philadelphia some time since. IMPOIITANT POINT OF LAW. Railways Not Compelled to Heimlmrse Passengers Who Have Bceu Bobbed. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 28. An Important point of law was decided by Judge llanford in the United States Court to-day in the case of Henry F. Guymars against the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, for $25,X0 damages for fright and shock sustained by his wife and for the loss of $S73 cash and valuables in a train robbery at Hot Springs, Nov. 18, 1S93. The Judge instructed the jury that the company was not liable for the loss of more money than was necessary for traveling expenses or than a prudent man would carry with him, when be had other means of safely bestowing it. H; also ruled that while the railroad company must care for the safety of passengers it cannot be called on to Insure them against loss by robbery nor to carry force enough to repel robbers. On these instructions the Jury found for defendants. UTAH AND MOItMOXISM. The People Are Procreating? but Should Wait for Statehood. Kate Field. As Congressmen and the people of thl3 country know nothing about Mormonism. both believe that pols'gamy has been abolished, and that the church no longer controls the saints, body and soul. Polygamy Is not abolished; its practice Is suspended. "Celestial marriage" is the cornerstone of the Mormon Church. It can only be abolished by a ' revelation." There has been no such revelation, and there won't be, I think, in this generation, because women liv who. in good laith. have become second, third, fourth, rifth, sixth and so-on-ad-libitum wives In order to attain celestial glory. No monogamist can enter the presence of the Deity. No wife In monogamy can be a celestial queen. She has had too much comfort In this world to have any cakes and ale in the next. Hiving proceed this doctrine for forty years, 1j it possible for Mormon leaders to turn a complete somersault In one uneasy lesson? President Wilford Woodruff had a dream just before a semi-annual conference and told the faithful that the Lord counseled him to suspend the practice of polygamy; thereupon he advised his people to keep within the limits of the laws of man. I've no doubt most of the saints have fc'.iowed this advice. I am assured by those who have every opportunity of knowing, that polygamy is not extinct. I have read of trial3 for polygamy since President Woodruff and the Lord talked this matter over in a dream. I firmly believe that young Utah rejoices in this polygamic suspension as well aa in the division of the People's party into Republicans and Democrats. Young saints want to be In sympathy with the rest of the country. They are weary of being ordered about by the priesthood. They want to do their own thinking; once on the road to independence, they are not likely to be captured and put back Into cages. Young Utah is vastly ahead of the immigration flooding the new States. Its boys and girls have been born on American soil and have had better chances of development than the half-starved aliens of Kurope. They know little of national politics, but their new-found liberty will be eagerly seized. In course of time they will give reasons for being Democrats and Republicans, and will surprise by their unusual progress. All this 1 believe; but Just as firmly do I believe that I' tali should not be admitted to Statehood until the new dispensation has taken such deep root as to Ie permanent. No sane government would mnke such an experiment, as it is the business of rulers to read future history by the light of the past. If both houses of the Fifty-third Congr-cs dare to run so grave a risk. It will be on the principle that fools rush in where angels fear to tread. . c, a. n. :?.
