SHIP BUILDING ACTIVE.
Many British Builders are Refining
Orders for New Vessels,They are so Busy.
Lostdoji, Jane 14.?The ship builders in Ores t
Britian hare never been so busy as they are at
present, and they are so bard pressed that
many of.tbem are absolutely refusing all orders
for new vessels. The Clyde ship builders hare
some 150 vessels of the aggregate tonnage of
800.000 on hand, and vet the output of new
work during the pant few weeks has been con
siderably lens tban tbe contracts secured. On
the Mercy the same state of affairs exists, and
from Stockton is reported that the good old
times when a beggar ou Tees-Side was almost
as rare as a dado are rapidly returning. On
the banks of the Tyne there "are eighty vessels
building, while at Sunderland. on the Wear,
some sixty or seventy are in course of consflruc
tion.
Briu>n?o Torn torxion coxr*T?ixs.
The most significant fact about this remark
able revival in the ship-building industry is
the large number of vessels building for foreign
countries. There are at tbe present time on
the stocks in this country ships representing
80,000 tons for Germany, 17,000 for Portugal,
10,000 each for France. Norway and the British
colonies, V,000 for South America, and 7,000 for
Belgium.
The sugar war is raging again in England.
For a long time Englishmen hsve been so
thoroughly overwhelmed with Irish questions
that politics and Ireland have seemed almost
synonymous terms. Ho engrossing has the
Irish 'question become in the past few years
that not manv matters of purely domestic con
cern could take anything but a secondary place
m British politics. It is quite a relief now to
find Englishmen growing excited over a polit
ical subject that hasn't the remotest connection
with Ireland or the Irish.
rSOTXCTIOM AND FBZZ TXAPZ.
The government wants to give the sugar re
finers in England a living chance again by tak
ing steps in conjunction with other powers to
abolish the bounty system in other countries,
which system, it is claimed, has swept the
English refiners out of existence. The fight
begins to assume the appcarance, on a more
limited field, of course, of the American con
troversy between protection and free trade.
On tbe one side are ranged those who want
cheap sugar and don't care a continental about
tbe sugar industries. These insist that the gov
ernment has no business to interfere. If for
eign governments are silly enough, they say, to
pay their subjects to make sugar for England,
why should Englishmen object. On the other
side are those whose concern is only for British
industries and who care nothing about cheap
commodities. These want bounty-fostered su
gar excluded from the kingdom for the benefit
of home production.
AXEBICANS HEBE ARE AMUSED
and not a little surprised at the thorough-going
protectionist arguments presented by the latter
class, the partisans of the government. They
are arguments which would fit snugly into a
Erotectionist stump speech in America, and to
ud them reproduced in free-trade England is
a little startling. After all, on this question,
there are two parties in England, as there are
in the United States?the party of the producer
and the party of the consumer, ana in the
sugar question here, as in the broader tariff
question in America, whether a man take one
side or the other will depend entirely on
whether he sees the matter from the stand
Soint of the consumer or from that of tbe pro
ucer.

Paris. June 14.?The striking cabmen held a
meeting to-day, at which M. Constanse, min
ister of the interior, was preseut. The cab
men could not arrive at any agreement with

a general one. The French and Italian navies
in the department of Haute Marne are unar
reling among themselves. Troops have been
sent to quell the disturbance.

A Gory Day for 'Frisco.
Chicaoo, June 14.?A special dispatch from
San Francisco says: Yesterday was a gory day
for San Francisco, as the record includes two
murderous assaults, one suicide and a death
under the cable cars. Samuel Isaacs, whose
people are rich New Yorkers, shot a disrepu
table woman and then killed himself. The
second deadly assault was made by a Chinese
bouse servant who quit work, and then, in a

MORE TESTIMONY TAKEN.
Witnesses Who To-day Testified Before
the Chlot|o Grand Jury.
Cbicaoo, June 14.?TIm special grand Jury
resumed it* investigations in tbe Cronin e
thia morning, bat it* proceeding* were _
devoid of Interesting development*
ae those of yesterday. In fact it hourly be
come* apparent that the inquirle* of the grand
Jury are to be little more than a repetition of
toe investigation* of the coroner'* inquest
The same witneese* are being summoned, and
they are telling their same old stories over
again ?with not even variation enough to excite
interest
nwantrram varoney.
W. P. Hatfield, salesman for A. H. Revell ft
Co., the furniture dealers, was before the jury
thia morning and testified aa to the particular*
of the purchase by "J. B. Simons," of the fur
niture of the Carlson cottage. He waa shown
a photograph of John J. Maroney. tbe New Vork
suspect and testified that it resembled greatlv
the individual who paraded under the aliaa of
Simons. The likeness is acknowledged, even
bv those who know Maroney, to be a somewhat
defective one, and Mr. Hatfield, who had no
cause to scrutinize Simons, can hardly be ex
pected to testify positively as to detailed re
semblances. His evidence, however, is deemed
concluaive enough to leave no doubt that
A TRUE BILL WILL BV RENDERED
against Maroney, and indictment* may be re
ported at any time against the man and hi*
suspected accomplice in crime, Charles Mc
Donald.
StXLITAH'S BANE ACCOCNT.
Interest In the proceedings revived when,
Ju*t before noon, Byron L. Smith, receiver of
the defunct Traders' bank, mounted the steps
followed by a messenger bearing the bank
books of 1883, the date of Alexauuer Sullivan's
?peculations on the board of trade.
Luke Dillon ascended with eager foot
steps a moment later, and was shortly followed
by John W. Moore, of the firm of J. T. Lester
? Co., Sullivan's brokers. The advent of these
witnesses meant that the attention
of the Jury had been, for the
time being, directed from Maroney
and McDonald to an inquiry into Alexander
Sullivan's alleged speculation with Clan-na
Gael fund*, the impression prevailed that an
indictment might possibly be returned against
Sullivan ere 3 p. m. to-day, the hour of
Judge Tuley'* decision in the habeas corpus
ca*e. Thia impression took the form of convic
tion in the mind* of many when, at 12 o'clock,
the Jury declined to adjourn for dinner,
t ? Pursued it* examination of Bvron
L. Smith and scrrtiny of the bank books "with
undiminished interest Mr. Moore was called
in to give an account of the expenditures in
dicated by Snllivan'a check* on the bank in
favor of J. T. Lester * Co.
Nightly Meetings of the Chan-na-Gael.
Kansas Citt, Mo., June 14.?The Journal
say*: It was discovered last night that there
have been nightly meetings of the Clan-na
Oael in Kansas City for the past three weeks.
1 here is quite a large number of the order
living here. The meetings have, of course,
been conducted with the strictest secrecv, and
nothing as to their purpose ha* been learned.
Is Feely a British Spy?
Toronto, Out., June It?Yesterday's Empire
says: It would not be a surprise to some people
if Dennis 0. Feely, one of the men now brought
m08^ prominently in connection with
the Cronin murder at Chicago, would turn out
to be a British spy. He was at one time a most
rabid British subject He joined the Cobourg
garrison battery many years ago. By his real
and attention to duty he soon workea his wav
up to the position of sergeant-major, and serveil
in that capacity in 1866. during the Fenian raid,
when his battery was stationed in the old fort
at Toronto. As soon as he was released from
service he went to Rochester, where he became
the head-center of a Fenian organization. From
Rochester be went to Chicago. His name
appears on the old service roll of the two bat
teries of artillery that were quartered in the
old fort, and it may be found on the pay sheets
of the militia department of Ontario.
A Clan-na-Gael's Suicide.
Indianapolis, Ind., June 14.?The suicide of
Patrick A. Ward, leader of the Clan-na-Oael in
this city, last night created a great sensation.
The intimate friends of the dead man say that
he has been low-spirited ever since the murder
of Dr. Cronin in Chicago. Ward had been
Eromised an appointment by influential repub
cans for his services in the late campaign. He
seemed to think that his prominence in the
Clan-na-Oael would prevent the fulfillment of
the promises that had been given him.
BALL PLAYERS STRIKE.
The Members of the Louisville Club
Protest Against Fines.
Baltixobe, Md., June 14.?There is serious
trouble between Manager Davidson and the
members of the Louisville base ball club, and
the men are striking against their manager.
When the players returned from the game
last evening Manager Davidson fined Second
Baseman Shannon #25 for two errors he had
made, and fined Catcher Cook *15 for poor
base running. Jimmy Wolf, the captain; ad
vised the men to do nothing rash, but try to
reason with Davidson to have fines remitted.
Then Wolf went out for a walk, and when he
returned an hour later found Manager
Davidson in the reading-room of the hotel with
an official looking document in his hand. It was
a protest signed by all the players against the
fines, and notifying the manager that if they
were not remitted they would not play ball to
day. Davidson waa irate afid said he would not
budge an inch. Captain Wolf pleaded with
him, but he said that if the club did not play
to-day he would fine every man $100. and that
in case thev did play and lost, he would impose
?25 on each man. Then he left for New York.
This morning the players sent a long telegram
to Wvckoff. explaining the situation. They aro
still firm, and there is every prospect that they
wont go to the grounds this afternoon.
Special Meeting of the American Associ
ation.
New York, June 14.?Eleven gentlemen well
known in the base ball world assembled in par
lor P of the Fifth Avenue hotel this morning
to try and settle the Louisville club question.
Shortly before 11 o'clock the representatives
of the club went into secret session and the
only view of proceedings inside that could bo
obtained was an occasional glimpse through
the door of several gentlemen in shirt sleeves
industriously wiping the perspiration from
their foreheads. W. C. Wikoff presided, and
the various clubs were represented as follows
Athletics, Vice-President W. H. Whitaker-'
Baltimore. J. W. Waltz; Brooklyn. C. B. Byrne'
?nd Director* F. A. Abell, and J. J. Doyle;
Cincinnati, President A. H. Stern; Columbus
Vice-President A. B. Cobn; Kansas City, C H
Byrne, by proxy; Louisville. Mr. Davidson;
St. Louis, CT Von Der Ahe. While the meet
ing is in progress it i* expected that Mr. Da
vidson will introduce a* a scheme to settle
matters, the consolidation of the' Jersey City
and Louisville clubs. Manager Tower, of the
first-named club, kept a seat warm in the cafe
while the meeting was going on.

From Wall Street To-day.
New York, June 14,11a.m.?Before 10 o'clock
thia morning 13,675,000 gold was ordered for
export, and the London figure* coming lower,
this market responded with decidedly lower
prices as compared with those of last evening
The declines extended to % per cent generally'
but Jersey Central was exceptional, with a loss
of 1 per cent at 110. There was a fairly active
busmen* doing, but in the regular list New
England and St Paul were the only really ac
tive shares, the remainder being quiet to dull
and among the trusts cotton oil displayed most
animation. There were further losses of small
fraction* in the early trading, but in many
stocks these were afterward recovered and
?light adrauces scored. The market waa quite
feveriahJ however, and considerable irregular
ity in thft movement was shown. Atchison and
Burliafton displayed most weakness and de
clined^ and hi per cent, respectively, and ra- 1
mamed at the lowest points, while Denver,
Texas and Fort Worth was strong and rose V.
The feature, however, wa* New England, which,
contrary to the rule, opened np k at 61^, and
after retiring to 51)f, advanced to 52 V. but
later reacted fractionally. Among the trust*
lead and cotton oil were steady, but sugar del
Tek>P?d weekne*. and declined a per
cent to lObU on comparatively light trading
Toward 11 o clock, however, the entire market
weakened, and New England lost all of it* ad
?anoe, and at 11 o'clock the market was fairly
active and weak at fractional losses from the
opening figures.

CAXA*D?A TALK 1TITH ONX or THZX?IN ZABLT
AND LIVELI SESSION OF CONGRESS PBBDICTKD.
The President will make Knottier trip down
the Potomac to-morrow in Postmaster-Gen
eral Wanamaker's yacht Restless. He will
leave here In the morning about 10 o'clock
and will probably sot return before Sunday
evening. A number of gentlemen have been
invited to accompany him, including several
member* of the cabinet
Another Harrison turned up at the White
House to-day. The name, Carter Harrison,
was printed in script on a card artistically cut
off at the corners so as to make it hexagonal.
It was not the card of Carter Harrison of Chi
cago. This one was from Virginia, of the old
line of Carters and Harrisons.
A bush fir conoresrmex to-dat.
When there is no hope of offices being dis
tributed the Congressmen grow leu profuse in
their attentions on the President. They call
less often and leave the matter of office-seek
ing more to the candidates themselves. The
list of appointments sent out last evening
awakened the drowsy interest of these states
men and they appeared at the White House in
greater numbers than they have for some time.
The general list of callers for the day was
smaller than usaal, but the number of Repre
sentatives among them showed a marked in
crease. Senators Davis and Teller, and Repre
sentatives Houk, Taylor of Tennessee, Browne
of Indiana, Cutcheon, Delano. Pugsley and
Brower were among the early callers. Ex-Sen
ator McDonald called with a friend.
WANTS A POSTMASTER BOUNCED.
Mr. Cutcheon has just come from the unveil
ing of the Michigan monument at Gettysburg.
While down this way he dropped around to see
the President about some little matters of in
terest to the Michigan folks. As a rule he is
not seeking the removal of presidential post
masters in his district before the expiration of
their terms, but there are two or three cases
where for sufficient cause be would like the
democrats bounced at once. One such bounc
ing has already occurred, and now there is one
pending. Inconnection with this one be talked
with the President to-day. It is the post-office
at his home, Manistee, Mich. He says that the
democratic postmaster does not perform the
duties of the office at all, and does not pretend
to. He is a rich man, and such of the salary
as he does not pay to his deputy to look after
the office he gives to the democratic committee
for campaign purposes. Mr. Cutcheon says he
has never seen him in the post-office since he
haa been postmaster. The man expects to be
removed, and Mr. Cutcheon wants the Presi
dent to fulfil his expectations. He also spoke
to the President in the interest of ex-Oov. Fair
child. who wants a foreign mission.
BKPRESENTATIVE CUTCHEON TALKS ABOUT TH*
COMING SESSION.
Mr. Cutcheon expects to return home Mon
day. He has not quite made up his mind
whether or not it is likely that he will be called
back with the rest of his colleagues before De
cember. He would not be surprised if Con
gress were called together after October. He
expressed the opinion to a Stab reporter that
when Congress met there would be a hard fight
over the adoption of rules for the next House;
that the session would start off lively and be
pretty interesting all the way through. He
said he thought the tariff would be handled on
the same lines proposed by the republicans in
the last Congress, that they would propose a
large reduction on sugar duty, add to the free
list to the extent of $5,000,000, and practically
repeal the tobacco tax.
WILL PROBABLY BAO A CONSULATE.
Ex-Representative Horr, of Michigan, who
was to see the President the other day, left
with the promise of an important consularship.
He at first wanted Montreal, but it was not con
venient to give him that.
CANNOT AQREE ON A CANDIDATE.
The two Minnesota Senators are in a fight
over some of the appointments in their state.
The chief contest is over the United States dis
trict attorneyship. Mr. Washburn's candidate
for that office is Mr. Eugene G. Hay, formerly
of Indiana, who besides this advantage in the
contest enjoys the warm personal friendship
of President Harrison. Mr. Washburn thinks
he has chosen his candidate wisely and that he
will get the appointment.
Mr. Davis called on the President to-day fn
the interest of his candidate for that place,
who is M. E Steeverson. He had also the
names of men for the United States marshal
ship and the internal-revenue collectorship,
whose appointment he was urging. It is under
stood that he was not perfectly satisfied with
the situation after the interview.
THREE PEQS FOB ONE HOLE.
Three candidates are actively engaged in
puzzling the President as to the appointment
of internal revenue collector for the fourth
district of North Carolina. They are Messrs.
Hawkins, White, and Young. Representative
Brower has been working very hard for Mr.
Hawkins, but the three candidates have been
shuttled over each other so fast that the Presi
dent has not been able to keep his eye on auv
one of them. His idea is now to shut his eyes
and grab. The contest has been going on for
sometime, and it is regarded now as most im
Sortant that it should be settled. The Presi
ent asked Mr. Brower to-day if it would not
be satisfactory if he (the President) selected
for himself any one of the three. Mr. Brower
was obliged to consent to that, and it is likely
that Mr. Young will get the appointment.
THE DUNKARDS AND OTHKB CALLEBS.
Before the general reception to-day the
President shook hands with one hundred and
twenty-six more Dunkards in his private of
fice. The Dunkards in their quiet shaker way
have almost had possession of the White House
during the past two days.
Among the other callers were: Rear Admiral
Fairfax. Dr. C. F. Rand, of Batavia. N. Y.; John
B. McCLellan, of Alabama; Edward Waddill, jr.,
of Virginia; O. W. Conrad, Logansport, Ind.;
C. W. Stapleton, county clerk, Madison county,
A PENSION OFFICE CHANGE.
The Resignation of Private Secretary
Squires Accepted.
Commissioner of Pensions Tanner has ac
cepted the resignation of George B. Squires,
his confidential secretary, in order that be
might accept the position of timber ageut in
the general land office. This change takes ef
fect at once.
THE COMMISSIONER'S DAUOHTEB TO GET THE
VACANCY.
Mr. Tanner said this morning that
he had written to his daughter,
Miss Ada Tanner, who has just graduated from
the Packer institute, in Brooklyn, and informed
her that he had some work for her in this city.
He expects, be says, to commit nepotism and
appoint his daughter to the place. The salary
Is el,800. The commissioner savs that he was
lad to be in a position to ao anything to
enefit Mr. Squires, and that this change, he
thought, gave him abetter place.
KB. SQUIRES AND SPECIAL CASES.
It has been alleged that Mr. Squiros had
started a kind of a bureau in the commissioner's
office, where cases were made special. Com
missioner Tanner said that Mr. Squires had
made some cases special which he had no right
to do, but he thought that there had not been
more than three of such cases. Mr. Squires
had been in the habit of sending cards to the
divisions asking the status of cases,
and the commissioner said that this was
done under a misapprehension and had been
stopped. He said that there were well recog
nized conditions under which pension cases
had been made fecial, and he intended to
continue this practice of the office. The com
missioner denied that any firm of attorneys had
been favored in this particular, and it was his
purpose to treat all with equal justice. He as
serted that the transfer of Mr. Squires had
nothing to do with any office business.
The commissioner stated that during the two
months and a half of bis administration there
had been 731 cases made special.
MARSHAL NEEDLiRS* VOUCHERS.
They Are Held lip Oa Account of a
Technical Irregularity la Hie Bond.
The first Controller of the Treasury has sus
pended action on oertain vouchers presented
by United States Msrshal Needles, of Okla
homa territory, until be can come to
a conclusion as to the bearing of
the law in the case. The trouble lies in the
faet that Mr. Needles has for his bondsmen
Senator Varwell and Mr. Den Shepherd, of Il
linois, while the law seems to direct that the
bond of a marshal must be signed ss
surety by freeholders in the District
where he is to serve. But there were noas
such In Oklahoma whsa the bond was filed,
and now the marshal seems to be In a quandary.
The oontroller has rendered no decision as yet,
but it is probable that he will hold that the
law is discretionary rather than mandatory, la

THK CAPITOL SHOOTING CASE.
The Defense Clalma that Cunningham
Fired Only to Frighten Hackman.
Yesterday in the Criminal Court. Judge Brad
ley, the trial of 8idney B. Cunningham, for an
suit with intent to kill Turner K. Hackman
in March laat at the capitol, waa continued.
( The defense stated that they expected to ahow
that there waa no intent to kill and that the
I shot waa not fired at Mr. liackman, but to
frighten him.
Mr. James Forsyth testified to the diagram
of the room and the distances as inarted by
preceding witnesses.
George W. Hutton. colored, testifl?d that the
pistol waa not fired at Mr. Hackman, but
pointed some distance to his right; that before
the shooting Cunningham ordered Hackman
out of the room, and the latter made ahow of
fight when they grappled.
TH* TF.ST1MOS1 TO* DBFEHf?E TO-DAT.
This moraine the trial waa resumed, and the
defonae called John B. Grace, who testified that
I on March 6 laat, in the House post-office, he
heard a conversation between the part ies.in
which Hackman said to Cunningham: "You ait
in your office with your feet on the desk and
are too d d lazy to attend to your busineaa."
Cunningham then struck at Hackman, who ran
his hand in his hip pocket and witnesa seized
him. As Hackman passed out of the door he
(H.)aaid: "This isu't the laat of it I'll get
even with him."
On cross-examination witnesa said they were
talking about a check, and Cunningham's man
ner waa not overbearing, but both were irri
tating. Thinka Cunningham struck Hackman
in the mouth rather quick and strong.
Geu. James B. Clark, clerk of the Honse of
Representatives, was called to testify as to the
duties of Dr. Cunningham as to the Tatum
I check, and stated that Cunningham had no
right to deliver the check to Hackman. as he
had been instructed to deliver no check* to
others than the payeea except upon written
order.
An objection and the ruling out of the offer
on exception was noted.
W. H. Nichols, assistant doorkeeper, testi
fied that he aaw Hackman March 11 fifteen or
twenty minutea before the shooting. He waa
with several parties at the time.
| The defense proposed to prove that Phillips
i asked the witness if he did not want to see a
set-to; that Hackman was going to settle with
Cunningham, and that this waa in the preseuce
of Hackman; but the offer was overruled and
an exception noted.
On cross-examination witness said that he
had seen Mr. Hackman with a view to have the
parties make up aud aettle the caae, but not to
I use money.
Frank Dodge Bell testified that after Mr
Phillips had spoken Hackmun invited witness
to go along with them.
Willie Howe testified that at the time' of the
shooting b? had just reached the door. He
pointed out on the diagram the place where
Hackman waa at the time, but could not see
J Cunningham.
S. D. Skein, of the Capitol police, testified
that he went in the room a few moments after
the shooting, and Cunningham had some blood
on his face and forehead.
The deposition of CoL Isaac N. Morrow, to
the effect that he saw a number of young men.
including Hackman. walking to the room of
Mr. Cunningham before the shooting, waa
read.
ANOTHER ACCOTTHT OF THE 8HOOTIKQ.
Henry Gumble, assistant disbursing clerk,
testified that be *a in the room at the time;
that Hackman Phillips and Pickett came in,
and after Hackman got his par he went to Dr.
Cunningham. He said: "The other day I
spoke to you in a gentlemanly manner and you
struck me. I come now* to brand vou
d d dirty coward." Dr. C. re
plied by directing Hackman to get
out, but Hackman did not comply and then he
ordered him out again when Hackman struck
Cunningham and other blows passed. Then
Cunningham drew the pistol and witneaa said
to him, "Doctor, don't do that you are for
getting yourself." He then turned the pistol
away from Hackman and fired, but it was not
in liackman'a direction Hackman then got
over the railing. Witnesa then marked the
Eositions ou the plat and the place wbere the
all struck, stating that it was six feet to Hack
man's left After the shot noticed a bruise
on Dr. Cuuningham's face and forehead, and
be (C.) did not follow Hackman but went to
tho basin to wash his face. Is certain that
Hackman struck the first blow.
DR. CUNNINOHAM's STORE.
The defendant. Dr. Cunningham, testified
that he met Hackman March 3 in the lobby;
that he (H.) asked for Tatum's check, and wit
ness told him to get an order for it; that on
March 6 he went to the post
office, and while at the telephone
Hackman again asked for the check,
and witness declined to give it to him without
an order. Hackmau then said that if he (C.)
attended to his business, applying an epithet
| "d?d lazy or vagabond, and witness
then slapped him when he jumped back,
thrusting his hand in his pocket, but
was seized by Mr. Grace. Hackman.
before leaving, said: "This is not the
end of it; I'll get even with you." Saw him
the next day, and on March 11th Hackman
came to his office. Witness was paying off the
extra month's compensation to employes at
the time. Saw Hackman with Phillips and
Pickens come in the room. Hackman
walked up to the counter and received
his pay. Witness was at the center window
and Hackman came to his window, the count
ers width only intervening. Hackman said
that he (witness) had iusulted and slapped him
and he had come to brand him as "a d d
I dirty coward." Witness told him to get out
and Hackman said: "I won't do it" Witness
j told him to again leave, and walked out
I and heard Hackman say: "If he comes
around here I'll shoot litm." Witness,
he paaacd his desk, took up his pistol
and placed it in his pocket Witness
then went outside the counter and told Hack
man to get out, and as he approached him
Hackman struck him on the nose, and witness I
struck at Hackman as he was going
back towards the door; he struck
him twice at least. Before reaching the door
Hackman jumped around facing witneaa?thia
waa abont aix feet from the vestibule
door and he (Hackman) could have gone out.
Hackman then threw his right hand to his
pocket, and witness, thinking Hackman in
tended to shoot bim, drew his weapon. Mr.
Gumble then said something to him, Hackman
taking his band from his pocket, and witness
seeing that he drew no weapon turned the
pistol from Hackman and discharged it He
nred for the purpose of inducing Hackman to
leave, and it did nave that effect After Hack
man left the room witnesa went to the basin to
wash his face. He did not fire the pistol at
Hackman.

Projected Kail roads.
From the Rockvilie Sentinel.
It ia rumored that a number of promineal
and influential citizens of Medley'* district have
in contempation the construction of a railroad
from l'ooleavillu to Sellmau'* station. The dis
tance is about four miles, and the grade is
comparatively a light oue. We understand
that the Baltimore and Ohio company have sig
nified their willingness to stock aud run the
road when constructed.
Ou Saturday last several leading and substan
tial gentlemen near Stneca organi7ed * move
ment looking to thebuildtfcg of a railroad from
Seneca to Clopper's station -the aum of #4&.0UU
was subscribed, and it was ascertained -t
many of those through whose land* the eon
templated road would be likely to pass havn
signified their intention to give the right of
way. The distance between the two points is
some seven miles, and some portions of thn
grade are smd to be heavy. These movements
have been necessitated by the destruction ?.?
the canal.
