W. Stinde, filed a diu to aay against ex senator J. K. est ior a disoovery, etc The plaintilta are residents of Lonial an, and state that Mrs. Stinde, in November, 18S1, was the owner of 100 bonds ot tne jsew Orleans, Kongo and Vicksburg Railroad Company of a denomination of $1000 each that at the request of defendant at a time named, and upon his promise as her representative and asent that he would obtain payment of the bonds or have them exchanged for bonds or the New Orleans and Texas Paoiho Kailroad Company, and wonla in the meantime, until they were exchanged, keep them in Dispossession.

She delivered the bonds to him in trust. Mrs. Stinde states that she recently demanded the return of bonds, but he, West, refused to comply with the demand, er to give her any information as to their wheieabonts. She farther stated on information and belief and so charges, that Mr. West has not kept the bonds in possession, but has pledged them with some person unknown and obtained money thereon for his owu benefit without her knowledge or consent, or that of her husband, and that he is about to deal with them as if they were his own, and exchange them for bonds of the Texas Pacihe Kailroad.

and appropriate them to his own use as if he was the real owner. It is further charged that defenSant is insolvent and not able to resoond to any judgment which may be obtained against him, and if the bonds remain in bis possession or subject to his control they will be utterly lost to her. Tne plaintiff prays that Mr. West be decreed to discover and make known in whose custody the bonds are, for whose advances they are held for security and for whose benefit the advances were made that he be enjoined from claiming or obtaining possession of them, making any transfer, assignment or exchange of the bonds or interest thereon, and from making, citing aad deli raving any order in reference to the assignment, possession or control of the bonds that the holder of the bonds, when discovered, may be restrained from delivering them to Mr. West or otherwise disposing of them except upon the order of the court.

The city of New York is beginning te find out that "curses come home to roost." In the defeat of the river and harbor bill as a con sequence of the self is policy of fighting appropriation a ben ericial to the rest of the country, the work at Hell Gate is to be susDended. In addition to this the steamer City of Rome grounded at high water on Saturday last on the edge of Gedney's channel, and remained there twenty four hours hard and fast. The channel is narrow and tortuous. The Times has discovered that this "is a serious business," and if the views ol ae.mA members that New York mav as well be left out of the river and harbor bill till her press and Congressional delegation acquire some liberality of sentiment, they may find out that there is another serious result of their folly.

Nothing seems to have been ordered yet in respect to the Mint appointments at New Orleans. Dr. Thomas G. Richardson, of New Orleans, is making a visit to Gen. Gibson in this city.

JACKSON, MISS. Te Repabllcan State Cemmlttee Preparing a Pellcy Death of a Leadlag Citizen. Special to the Picaycxe. Jackson, June 11. The Republican Executive Committee of this State meets in this city to morrow at the call of Hon.

John R. Lynch, chairman. It is understood that the call was to determine whether the Republican party of Mississippi was to preserve its own individuality, or to march under the orders of Gen. Chalmers. Lynch has been here all day with Messrs.

Fazee, Griggs and several other prominent members of the committee. Chalmers is looked for here to night. It is believed that Lynch and his forces will shape the policy. He is heavily backed by leading white Republicans all over the State, who urge him by all means to preserve the integrity of the party and shape it to a conservative and conciliatory course. It is understood that the meeting will be public.

A lively time is anticipated. Mr. Samuel Lemly, one of the oldest citizens and most prominent merchants of this city, died to day. Russia is making slow but sure progress in the construction of her railways The lines are generally of some commercial or strategic value. They are constructed partly for economical purposes and partly in order to give work to the immense number of Russian engineers who are without employ, ment, and who, together with the whole of the Russian press, have long been bitterly complaining of the concessions Suited to foreigners.

The Government apparently decided to give the preference in future to Russian and, if the requisite capital cannot be obtained from private sources, to grant large subsidies.

Baton Rouge, June 11. The original contract between the State of Louisiana and Mr. John McEnerv, to the recovery of swamp and overflowed lands from the General Government, is not on file in the Executive Office. It cannot be eund, and is said to he in the possession of the contractor, Mr, McEnery. All that remains of this official transaction in the archives at the Capitol is a copy of the original without attest, witness, State seal or stamp.

It was supposed by his Excellency the Governor and tne officer in charge of executive papers that the contract was securely quartered in the large safe used for the accommodating of official Eapers of importance. These officers, owever, were mistaken, as a rigid search for the original contract demonstrated. The Governor has appointed A. Brinch, Justice of the Peace for the Fourth Ward, parish of Richland, vice W. H.

Treasurer Burke has requested President Nicholson, of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, to select a company of the most expert Cadets and have them practiced for competitive drills, and proposes, when the company leaves the University, it shall be at his expense.

After leaving Cairo yesterday a rain and wind storm was encountered, but it was only this morning that we found that a severe cyclone nau swept tne country in advance of our train. At 4 o'clock this morning we came on the track of the storm east of Vernon. Ohio, on the Ohio and Mississippi Rail road. For miles on each side of the route the forests and orchards were prostrated and the wrecks of farmhouses appeared at intervals. A freight train of some six or eight loaded oars was passed, where it lay upside down, some distance from, the track, having been carried off by the wind.

In passing through the country rap idly, no opportunity was afforded vour correspondent to ascertain whether any loss of life had occurred.

Anton Stopper, a blind man, committed suicide by taking chloroform to day. He was quite a curiosity after the Blind Tom order. W.

Y. Bracken, a brakeman on the International, was found dead last night near his residence. Morphine was the cause and suppositions are strong that his unfaithful wife was at the bottom. The Grand have the matter in hand. C.M.Terrell, Paymaster of the Department of Texas, testified in the Was eon case to day that he had known Wasson since 1S72, and official relations had always been satisfactory and pleasant, and he had never heard him complain of anv duty required of him.

Col. Terrell introduced the accounts of Wasson and gave general testimony. Horace Wilson, of San Francisco, testified to Wesson's good character. Wasson has squared his accounts with the Government, and the impression gains ground that his punishment will be light, and the court martial begins to be regarded as a farce. That Wasson is guilty there is no doubt, and how to aid him in evading punishment seems to be the question, HOUSTON, TEXAS.

A Bey Drowned Under Pecallar Clrcaaa stances. Special to th Picayune. I HousTOJf. June 11. This afternoon, near the Briek Yard, four small boys were bathing in Buffalo Bayou.

Allen McGregor, ten years old, who could swim, told a son of Jno.

The commit tee to investigate the charges made against the administration of the Supervising Architect's office of the Treasury Department met to day. Mr. Coleman, counsel for Mr. March, stated that be baa prepared specific charges, which be expected to prove under the contract already in evidence before the committee. He also stated that he had recently been retained as counsel for Manley and Cooper, Justin McCarthy and several others, who desired to prefer charges against Hill, and that he would in a few davs formulate charges to cover their several grounds of complaint.

Mr. Coleman then read the charges and specifications, which set forth fraud and extravagance in connection with the purchase and dressing of stone for public buildings in the United States. Mr. fcteinmetr. the expert, then took the stand and resumed his statement relative to the cost of the granite need in the construction of the public build in pa at Philadelphia.

he witness stated that since the last meeting of the committee he had made a computation of twenty courses upon the third, fourth and attic stories of the building, and had calculated upon each stone the excess paid by the Government upon the basis of quarry dimensions, lie had made calculations for the third story of the Chestnut street front of the building, and found the aggregate excess paid by the Government for stone was $1750. the opposite part being identical with it. The total for the two would be 35.000. Witness stated that he had not computed other fronts, but would continue the calculations for each front and for each floor, so as to give an aggregate excess for the entire building. At this point Homer Campbell, stonecutter, was sworn.

Witness had worked at his trade upon public buildings in New York, Boston and Philadelphia; was employed upon a public building in Philadelphia during August, 1880, and from memoranda which he made at the time, stated that he cut nineteen feet six inches of stone in thirty days, and was paid at the rate of 3 25 per day. He was employed, ten days upon one stone which measured six feet three by three feet ten inches. Mr. Stinemetz was then recalled and testified that for the stone described by Campbell the Government paid the contractors $272 20, while they paid Campbell but $32 50 a net profit to them of 239 76. Campbell was paid by them for his entire work $102, while they charged the Government and received under their contract with Hill $847 a net profit to them on the work of $745.

Mr. Coleman stated that he could not go further upon this branch of the case until Mr. Sieinmetz had concluded his computations. It as suggested that the commission visit Boston and other cities for the purpose of taking testimony. Without deciding whether they would accept affidavits in evidence or visit different points to take testimony the committee adjourned till Wednesday.

A Grave Charge A sains ex United IStates Senator J. Rodman West. a sniNGTON, June 11. A bill in equity has just been entered in the courts here against District Commissioner J. Rodman West for the recovery of railroad bonds placed in his hands in November, 1881, for negotiation, and which, it is charged, he has appropriated to his own use.

Mrs. Mary Jane Stinde and Charles W. Stinde, residents of Louisiana, are the plaintiffs in the action, and the bill is filed by Mrs. Stinde, who alleges that in November, 1881, at the request of West, the defendant, she delivered to him for negotiation one hundred bonds of the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg Railroad Company, of the denomination of $1000 each, he promising to obtain payment of the bonds, or nave them exchanged for bonds of the New Orleans and Texas Pacific Railroad Company, and until so disposed of to keep them in his possession. She asserts that she recently called upon West to return the bonds, but he refused to do so, and refused to give her any information as to their whereabouts.

She says she has reason to believe West has hypothecated the bonds, obtaining money thereon for his own benefit, and that he is about to deal further with them as if they were his own, and she also says defendant is insolvent, and that if the bonds are allowed to remain subject to his control, they will be utterly lost to her. She prays that West be ordered to make known the whereabouts of the bonds and his dealings with them that he be restrained from dealing with them any further, and that the present holder of the bonds be enjoined fiom delivering thetn to defendant. A temporary restraining order was issued by the court. A Monumental Case A Marvel ef Patience. Washington, June 11.

Although the star route trial has not yet ended, the record up to this point is the largest ever made in a criminal trial in this country. Printed in small type and octavo size, it comprises over six thousand pages, or about four and one quarter millions of wards. The report of preliminary proceedings up to date when the taking of testimony begun, covered 463 pages. The direct testimony for the prosecution occupies 2318 pages. Mr.

Merrick delivered the longest speech of the trial, lasting nine days and covering 283 pages of the record. The record of the Guitean trial comprised 2700 pages, and was regarded as of extraordinary length, but becomes quite insignificant compared with this enormous record. The Star Beats Case Arcaiog the Prayers fer InstmcMona. Wa8htngt6n, June 11. To day's session of the star route trial was devoted to' hearing arguments based upon prayers for instructions to tne jury The prayers number twenty for the prosecution and an svrsn hundred tor the defense.

The Attorney General was present in court. Mr. Ker begin, tie ar gument. He maintained that when sV defendant on the stand refused to produce documentary evidence in his possession such failure casts suspicion on all other evidence adduced by defendant, and was a circumstance tending to prove guilt. He held that Mr.

Inger sol 'softer to produce the books under restrictions could not have been accept by the court, and therefore did not mitigate the presumption drawn from the non production of evidence. Tl prayers for the defense are sib mitted without argument. A large number of them are attacks noon the sufficiency of the indictment others ask ior a rejection of all evidence touching certain overt acts because of insufficient or erroneous description in the indictment, and still another and a large number eon oern points that have beeia already disposed of and are presented merely with a view to saving exceptions. Several prayers maintain Brady's right to make orders regardless of seeming extravagance and errors of iudgment, and hold that his purpose, "whether corrupt or not in making orders, is alone subject to consideration by tne The restrictions Imposed by the statute of limitations are sought to be a 7aiiei of against many alleged overt acts. Assumin the existence of a conep acy the defense also make the point that it ceased with the in April, 1878.

and therefore the prosecution is barred by the statute of limitations. It also alleged that there were two conspiracies or no conspiracy. at all, after that date, which would also render the indictment nugatory. Another point made is, that all or none of the defendants can be convicted. Tbe ninety second prayer asked for a rejection of the evidence concerning nearly all of Brady's erders, because the indictment does not charge that they were made in pursuance of a conspiracy.

The court called upon the Government for a reply to this prayer, whieh was made at some length by Mr. Ker, and the court adjourned until to morrow, when the charge to the jury will proba bly be delivered.

POLITICAL. Evading the Ilish License Law. Chicago, June 11. At a meeting of the City Council to night an attempt was made to evade the provisions of the high license State law for the present year, if it finally goes into effect. Under the existing city ordinances, licenses become due July 1st; and as the new law would, if passed, be in effect at that time, the saloon keepers would have begun paying under it at once.

To pi event this an ordinance was introduced in the Council to night making saloon licenses due and payable the last day of May of each year. An attempt was made to pass it under a suspension of the rules, and it only lacked two of the necessary two thirds vote. Then a special meetin was called for Thursday night, when a bare majority can pass it. No doubt is entertained about its passage at that meeting.
