A restaurant and cafe capable of accommodating one hundred people are attached to the depot. The angle of inolination of this railroad attains at various points forty, Afty and sixty degrees. There are two cars, the Vesuvius and Etna, dating twelve persona each. The system adopted in the construction of the railroad of American invention, and is known as "the prismatic system." BALTIMORE AND ONTO RAILROAD conductors have received orders not to recognise the round-trip tickets sold by the Pan-Handle Railroad between Columbus and Newark and after next Monday. These round-trip tickets, for the accommodation of great many people who travel over, that section the road, were sold at $1 80, and were good trains of both Compantes.

Tue sudden break in Louisville and Nashrille stook created a profound sensation 1 Cincinnati, Every movement of combination has been watched here with the deepest Interest, because of the relations with the Cinannati Southern.

A NUMBER of railroad omelals met yesterlay, at the office of the Cincinnati Southern latiroad, in this city. Among them were J. B. Wilder, President; Wm. Mahl, Jeneral Superintendent, and Edgar Hill, Genral Freight Agent, of the Louisville ShortIne: W.

The matter was finally referred to a Committee, which will report to-morrow. It is understood that the present arrangement for Lexington business will terminate May 1st.

ATLANTA, April 19, 1880. 'A reporter of the ENQUIRER interviewed General William MacRae, General Manager of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, relative to the failure of that road to run an extra train to connect with the express train of the Cincinnati Southern, which the officers of the latter say was promised them. General MacRae states that it was his tention to have put on a train for the especial aceommodation of the Southern Road, bat after having so decided notice was received from the Louisville and Great Southern that the running of such a train would be deemed by the Louisville as an act of discrimination in favor of the Southern Road. This notice, coupled with the strong provisions hemming in of the charter of the W. and A.

Railroad Company against any discrimination, decided him to decline patting on the extra train. He was willing to do any thing he could to meet the wishes of the management of the Southern Road which did not subject the W. and A. to the charge of, discrimination. General MacRae thinks there is another side to the question of connections between the W.

and A. and the Southern, which Cincinnati should consider. To run in close connection with the present schedule of the Southern, the W. and A. would have to break its present connections with the several roads centering at with the Memphis and Charleston, the Nashville and Chattanooga and the with the Alabama East Great Tennessee Southern at Chattanooga; and the Selma, Home and Dalton at Dalton, and with several local side lines between Atlanta and Chattanooga.

And even did he feel at liberty to run a special train to connect with that of the Southern Road, such special would have no connections south of Chattanooga, and, therefore, benefits the Southern would receive halt the from it which it would from a connection regular trains of the Western and Atlantic Road. With due deference to the excellent management of the Southern, General MacRae submits that since that road is to be operated in that if interests there of Cincinnati it would appear the is to be a the lay-over by passengers any-where, Cincinnati is place its trains should select. He disclaims any discrimination against the Southern Road. He would be plensed to meet the wishes of its management as to connections, if he could consistently do so, But the position of the Western and Atlantic, forming, as it does, a link between the systems of roads centering at Atlanta and at Chattanooga, indicates that it will be far less convenient for it to change Its schedule than for the Southern to change. In the latter case, only one road must change; in the former, a dozen.

KENTUCKY AND GREAT EASTERN RAILROAD COMPANY. It certainly seems as if this road was created alone for trouble and litigation. From its very inception it has been unfortunate, hardly escaping from one trouble before it 1a plunged into another deeper and more complicated than all its predecessors. This time it has become involved in a controversy that will not alone entail upon it cost and expense, but one that will end Its existence, and carry with It, in the general wreck, the Maysville and Big Sandy. But this is evidently for the best interests of both Companies, as well as the people and country, through which these lines run, AS upon the termination of this litigation, the roads will be sold, giving an opportunity to solid bustness, substantial and moneyed men, to build this line of railroad, so" much needed and of such paramount importance the City of Cincinnati.

There are number of parties controlling large capital and ence who are ready, willing and anxious to build this line and give this olty the product of the coal felds of Kentucky, provided they secure the road free of its present complications, which opportunity will soon be offered them. On yesterday Mr. A. J. Hodder, assignee In bankruptcy of John and Frank P.

Byrne, late partners as the Kentucky and Great Eastern Railroad Construction Company, through his attorney, Mr. 0. L. Raison, instituted an action in the Mason Ofrouit Court, in Mason County, Kentuoky, against -the Kentucky and Great Eastern Railroad Company, Maysville and Big Bandy Railroad Company and Trust former stockholders of New Farmers' Company York, and others, for the sum of $850,000 and interest, and to enforce equitable lien on the entire line of railroad from Newport to Catlettaburg, Kentucky, under a contract of construction made by the Kentucky and Great Eastern with the Construction Company for the and equipping of the entire line from Newport to Catlettsburg. The Construction Company, under their contraet or construction, made large and valuable improvements on the line, beginning at Maysville, Kentucky, and working east.

They' completed and put in running order about seven miles of the rond, and had a construetion train running over it, and bad prepared and put in readiness for the immediate laying of the track about forty miles more, when, owing to trouble of the Railroad Company, and otherwise, they were compelled, under potioe, to cease operations. The Construction Company are under their contract of in reality absolegal of all improvements made and placed on the franchises of the Com pans never having been paid and delivered by them to and so claim, but as have been placed on the the Railroad Company, they ask the whole property may be sold and they paid out of the proceeds the value of estimated by the Railroad being the sum as sued for, with interest from the time of the estimate, and lien on the whole property for the In the year 1871 the Kentucky and Easterp by contract of purchase the Maysville and Big Bandy Railroad Company from the owners thereof, and 1m- mediately took possession of the same with all its rights, property and franchises, and it was merged into and became a part of the Kentuoky and Great Eastern. The Improvements made by the Construction Company under its contract, which was made in 1878, were put on the old line of the Mayaville and Big Sandy, which was then, and is now, the eastern portion of the Kentucky and Great Eastern Line of road. The former owners of the old Maysville and Big Sandy are making some claim now that the Kentucky and Great Eastern never paid them for the road, and that it, with all improvements made subsequent to the sale, revert to them, but this claim can not avail them, as by their actions and conduot in the premises they are now stopped from setting up any such claim 88 against the Assignee of the Construction pany. Besides there is a mortgage on the franchises of the Kentucky and Great Eastern made since their acquisition of the property that outa out forever the claims of these parties.

In the present condition of affairs no title can be legally made or acquired by any one to any portion of this property. But from present dictions an arrangement and agreement will be made and entered into by the parties interested so- that sale of the road may be made very soon, and the question of priority be litigated over the proceeds. As we before remarked, thereare parties now ready and willing to take and build this road if. they can get good title to it; which they can do at this sale; and we confidently expect within a few montha to see this Important road under projess of construction. Cincinnati greatly needs this road, appreciates its importance, and will regard with great interest any measures looking toward Its early completion.

CITIZEN. The Lookont Mountain SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CHATTANOOGA, April the stockholders of the Lookout Mountain Ballroad Company, the Memphis branch, road partly built between Chattanooga and Rome, and the stockholders of the Sommerville and Rome Railroad, three different proposed lines between Chattanooga and Rome, met in conference, and all conflicting Interests were consolidated into the Lookout Mountain Railroad Company by the consolidation. The Lookout Mountain Railroad Company is to receive $50,000, paid in stock of twenty-four the Sommerand Rome Railroad, miles of which are already graded and ready for the cross-ties. They also receive span bridge at Rome, across the. Oastanaula River and $20,000 donations, subscribed by property contract owners for along the work will proposed be line.

This line will be a link of the Cincinnati Southern with the entire railroad system of the South via the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad. It will also be to noogs the most important line running the from the oity, as it opens up to her one of richest mineral and cotton regions in the South. Brakeman Killed. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TEN ENQUIRER. SEYMOUR, April Kennedy, brakeman on.

Ed Jackson's train, on the Middie Division of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, was killed at Mitchell about ten o'clook last night by being crushed while coupling a train. He lived about an hour after the acoldent. His remains were brought to his home, in this city, this morning and taken to Henryville for burial. He had been braking on the road but short time. He leaves a family.

Condition of Senator Grover. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. WILMINGTON, April is not true that Senator L. F. Grover has been paralyzed.

He is now, and has been for many weeks patient at Heald's Hygeian Home, in this city, under medical care, for cerebral and spinal and ta recovering his health. Mrs. Grover now with her busband. There have been so many speculations in regard to the Senator's absence from his seat in the Senate, it is proper to add that his friends, as well as bimself, are so much couraged by the progess be now making, that they reasonably expect him to be fully restored, WALL STREET: How Fortunes Are Won and Lost. Remarkable Variations in Stocks During the Year.

Speculations as to the Causes of the Recent Reaction. Peculiar Movements of the Great OperatorsJay Gould the Conundrum of the Street. Ohio and Miss Pacifio 12 Wabash New Delaware, Jersey Lack. 35 and Delaware and SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. NEW YORK, April most experienced operators look upon the recent decline in stocks as a necessary result of the great rise which began a year ago.

It continued without interruption until November, when there came crash, closely bordering on panic, which, however, was followed by a quick recovery and an onward, upward movement. The boom set in in its strength in January, and continued without material check until the lst of April. The losses by the November break were more than made up, and the first quarter of the new year ended with stocks higher than they. had been since 1873. How great that rise was may be seen by the following comparison between prices of leading stocks in March, a year ago, and the highest prices in March of this year: In 1879.

In 1880. Lake 68 St. 85 New York North-western. 51 The increase in other railroad stocks throughout the entire list was not less marked. Hundred of operators in the street have acquired substantial fortunes in the the twelvemonth just ended, and until within a few weeks there have been comparatively few losses.

Those of the November break were quiokly retrieved, and since then even the amateur speculator had only to buy and hang on to double his money. But it was not to be supposed that this condition of affairs could last forever. The business boom began to subside, and so did the stock boom. Prices for certain class of stocks were far beyond what the stock was worth. Take the old stand-by, Erie, of whose shares more are bought and sold daily than any other on the list, except in cases of rare activity.

It will be years under the most favorable ciroumstances before the common stock can pay a dividend, yet forty thousand of its shares are bought every day by the -street gamblers. Ask one of them why he makes the purchase, and his answer will be, because he thinks it will go up. There are a score or more of the nondividend-paying shares that are good for nothing, yet are bought and sold at good prices. Iron Mountain, that has just defaulted on the payment of interest on its income bonds, has sold as high as 66 since the new year opened. The street has had surprises within the past month.

It was a rude awakening when the discovery was made that Jay Gould had not enough Kansas and Texas stock to control the election. Every one supposed that he controlled the road, but of a sudden it was ascertained that be had borrowed 40,000 shares, and had transferred them to himself and olosed the transfer books. was then plain that the crafty Mr. Gould, who was known to have purchased the shares he held a year ago for $8, OF thereabouts apiece, had "taken his profits" while the stock was selling at 45; and Kansas and Texas took a tumble. The next astonisher for the boys in the street was the information that Mr.

Keene. who never was known to be on the bear side of the market, had sold out his big line of long stooks and gone short of them, meantime giving out that he expeoted them to go up. When once it was believed that Keene WAS really short every body began to sell short, and down went the market. It is now very much feared that Mr. Gould has parted with his Wabash stock, purchased for less than 20.

He has had chances enough to sell it for 48, and has it to go down. The eye of suspicion is also turned toward some of his otper Western railroads. Gould is the conundrum of the street. His own brokers know as little of. what he 1s up to as the ordinary curbstone seller of puts and calls.

Just now he is giving out that he desires to get into the Directory of New York Central, and rumor has it that he holds 70.000 shares of the stook sold by the big New York Central Syndicate, and la purchasing all the Central offered in the market. The spread of this information seems to have depressed the stock, for it was selling for 187 two weeks ago. Gould has the reputation for wrecking roads, not building them up. On the other hand, the Vanderbilts seem to improve and make more valuable every property which they touch. When, therefore, the people saw Vanderbilt selling worth of central stock, and Gould buying it, they naturally kept clear of the stock.

Yet it is as likely that Gould 18 trading on his bad reputation as upon any thing else. New York Central is earning money enough justify the payment of 10, it not 12, per cent. dividends, and the wise ones say that the June meeting of the Directors will order a 10 per cent. one paid. It this be so, the stook would be worth 150.

It is not to be denied that the great holding which the Syndicate had has been sold for not less than 130, which 1s high for an 8 per cent. stock, and it is trary to reason to suppose that such men as Cyrus W. Field, Gould, Sage and the dozen or so other solid men who purchased the stock at that price are expecting to hold it for 8 per cent. dividend only, or to sell it for the same price for which they gave. Three dred and fifty thousand shares were thus disposed of.

It is fair to presume that they expect higher dividends or higher prices for the stock. But, aside from the manipulation of stocks by the great operators the time had come for a reaction. Spring trade prospects are not as cheering 88 they were. Merchandise has begun to shrink in value as a result of overproduction and over-speculation. A sharp decline in staples could not but have its effect on stocks.

The Iron boom wavers, and Iron la the pulse of the nation. It is not sur. prising that there should come an unsettled market. Leading operators say that it is likely to continue, with occasional spurts, for month to come. MISSING MAN.

A Minneapolis Merchant Disappears. New York. SPECIAL DISPATCE TO THE INQUIRER. NEW YORK, April detective from Minneapolis is in town to-day to ask aid of the police in a search for eltizen of that city, whose disappearance has caused profound exoftement among. his friends.

According to the officer Anton Cole, a wealthy merchant of Minneapolis, left his home January 11th to go to Europe on a Ounard steamer. His trip was partly for business and partly for recreation. Mr. Cole carried large amount of money, His family remained at Minneapolis. Information was received that he had arrived in New York on January news from 14th, the and three traveler.

weeks It elapsed without was supposed that ho, was on the ocean. When by the middle of. March no news had been received of him Mr. Cole's friends grew alarmed. Inquiries made revealed the foot that he had not sailed in the steamer at all.

At the Company's office his name was not on the lists. This news caused excitement in Minnespolis. Officers were sent to make a thorough investigation in this city, with the hope of finding traces of the missing man. far they have been unsuccessful. The records of the police and the books at the hospitals and the morgue give no olew to his fate.

It is feared, as there is no motive for his running away, that Mr. Cole has said fallen victim to crime. His business is to be prosperous and his family relations most happy. THE TURF. Importai Question to be Decided by the Kentucky Association at Its Next SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TRE LEXINGTON, April Interesting question is being considered by the turfmen in this section.

It is: Shall the entries to purse races be free? Some time ago an attempt was made to have them tree, but is was defeated by a prominent turtman of Lafayette County. Since then new- blood has been infused into the Association, and there is now disposition to put the Kentucky Association abreast of the other Jockey Clubs of the counwhose The purse races entries are charged nothing. dimeulty in the way is the fact that long ago the free system was tried and pronounced a failure, and its abrogation was secured through the efforts of John M. Clay and other breeders. There are now, however, more breeders, more patrons of the turf and many more horses.

The system of charging for entrance in purse races exoludes all but few, that the breeder is barred, without heavy taxation, from testing the merits of his horse, and the publie deprived of the beneft of witnessing well-contested race, Instead of, as now, in too many cases, a hippodrome. where cortain favorites are as sure of winning as if the speed of the remainder was regulated by the ring The free-entry plan to purse races is believed to be the oure for these evils. On the first day of the coming meeting, Immediately after the first race, the Club will hold a meeting for the express purpose of considering this question and determining It. The wishes of the majority of those Interested in the tart in this section are with the inno- DISPATON TO ENQUIRER WESTON, W. April Since the murder of Shreve on Sunday last detectives have at work ferreting out the murder or mar- derers.

It appears that a band of ten or twelve men engaged for the lawless purpose of stealing and committing other depredations in Roanoke County, from some cause, supposed to be the unequal division of spoils, had a ditAculty among themselves, resulting in a Since division, the band forming two gangs. then they have been at war with each other. Shrove, who was murdered, and Hefner, who was wounded, are victims of this band of outlaws, Quite a number of persons are to have seen Shreve shot, and know the man who did the shooting, but the murderer being such a desperate character the citizens are afraid to cause his arrest. One man is said to remain secluded, except when compelled to go out; then he goes disguised as a woman. These are facts, and show a very unpleasant state of affairs in this county.

Racing in England. LONDON, April Prince of Wales' stakes were won at Epsom to-day by Cradle, Ragman second, Seesaw third. No American horses started. The great Surrey handicap was won by Magdalen, Zanont second, Tower and Sword third. The Westminster stakes was won by Tristan; Fugitive, second; Voluntary, third.

The American horses were not in the race for either the Stakes or the great Surry Handicap. Typhon, the favorite in the latter, finished fourth. The winner was the favorite in the former race. HOOSIER POLITICS. Interview With General Streight Choice Explanation of How the Case Stands.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE ENQUIRER. INDIANAPOLIS, April 19, 1880. The war on General Streight bythe great organ of his party waxes hot, andpolitical gore is being spilled by the I might of it. Of course Streight has spilled only one ink-bottle in the fray 50 far, but it was crack shot. The fire upon him has been with blank cartridges -lots of noise but nobody has been hurt.

Still the dammed old blunderbuss 18 liable to kick the fellow behind 1t all to pieces 1f it don't burst and blow him away before it kills by the kicking process. The organ was loaded down with paper wads last night -and fired off at daylight this morning, with the hope that spmebody would hear the report before they sat down to read the Cincinnati papers. One wad was labeled, "Bureau Methods;" another, "School Teachers;" the next, "Railroad Managers;" the fourth, "Coal-Miners;" the fifth, and the sixth, "The Dootors." I met General Streight to-day and showed him the gory discharge, and he said: "Poor man! is it true that his case is hopeless? Well, I suppose he should be left in the custody of his family." "But how about these school-marms?" asked. "I do not suppose any woman competent to teach in our publio schools could be deluded by that statement in the Journal. As It is entirely and absolutely false, I don't suppose I am called on to deny it." "Well, how about the railroad managers?" "Yes, let me see what the paper says.

Oh, I see it here. Just listen to this-'upon the merits of this controversy, we do not express an Well, I reckon not. If the Journal, as an organ, wants to oppose the interests of the thousands of men who do the work of railroading, it can do so. Heretofore It has, and its course with its own employes has settied Its influence with the people who work for pay. I have no quarrel with the railroad managers nor their subordinates.

The man who owns railroad is pretty, well able to take care of himself, and I guess we will always have laws to take care of the other side." "But this paper puts the miners down against "Well, the Journal would hardly be called their organ by the miners. They write me down as on the side of railroad operatives, bat against mine operatives, During the strike in Olay County, a year ago, the denunelations of the miners was bitter enough. don't know but what the man who brake on a freight-train or digs coal has AS much right to fair subsistence as the man who publishes paper. And I think the printers have quite as much right to earn at least enough to leed, clothe and educate their children as have the paper owners." Well, General, how about this tile business; what got the tile-makers down on you "I didn't know they were. If my desire that no man should be compelled to buy some fellow's piping unless he wants to, or make any other expenditure unless he is able, is strued into hostility to the tile makers OF builders of accused os I suppose might be of Being to every man who has any thing the doctors, who are said to be against That's the beauty of our system of ment.

What soldiering I did during the war was for the purpose of to every oftizen the right to oppose me if he wants to. have to trust myself in the hands of doctors quite and show my confidence in them by doing so, and of course some one of them will have the last turn at me." "What has your Bureau done that is objeotionable, anyhow?" Well, I don't know. I have bought some newspapers where they contained friendly notices of myself, The papers are printed to sell, and suppose enemies would expect me to buy papers which unkind things of me. I bought papers whtoh I thought had large influence, and those which had none I did not buy." "Then the journal's charge that you bought the country press is not true?" "Such a statement as that, of courne, is its own refutation. My experience with the country editors has been that they act upon conviction- always decently- in point of integrity rank as high as any class of men in the world.

I And that they exercise a care in regard, to the matter which they give their readers which does not characterize the great elty papers." "What's the organ fighting you about, anyhow?" "I don't know. The editor has quite as much and right if as he have should to be a the candidate nominee for of Governor, vention, I will support him. If Ishould beat him, he can do as he pleases about supporting me, for I will be elected anyhow if I get the nomination. The candidate with a per has the advantage of the one who has not, it he wants to abuse him. However, that's one of the chances 8 candidate has to and then the General went to his office.

THE INSURANCE STEAL, As It is known, is a neat little piece of legislation, invented by the proprietor of the Jourpal, by which every foreign Insurance Company doing business this State is bound to advertise in the two morning papers here twice per year an exhibit of their condition. Thus a wild-cat Company can print As good showing as the old Atna if it will write it out, while the solvent ones are bound to submit to the black-mail penalty or be exoluded from doing business. Several legislators beside General Streight took the ground that if they were forced to pay any such penalty they should be allowed to print the notices where they pleased, and these legislators must keep in the background now or be slain in any attempt to get an office.
