If Prendergast had been acquitted there is no doubt that the country would have been tilled with imitators. But with the shadow of the gallows over them they would 'never execute their plans. The certainty of punishment -alone will give protection to human life, not only from men who are what are termed cranks, but from thieves, highwaymen, and burglars. I have no doubt Prendergast would never have killed Mayor Harrison if he had be1ieve4 he would be hanged for it." State's-Attorney Kern said: I believe the verdict fair and just and rendered from the evidence and the law. It is justice to Prendergast and to the community.

There are a nutnber of cranks' at large and a few severe lessons will serve to stop this kind of work.

REINHART RUFFLED BY CRITICISM. Denies That He Misled English Bondbold Interviews. NEW YORK, Dec.

W. Reinhaet of the Atchison railroad system feels deeply grieved at what he terms the injustice of the English press. The London newspapers have denounced him for holding out false hopes to British bondholders, claimmg that while he was making rosy statements as to the condition of his road all the arrangements for the tiling of the bill of the Union company of this city for the appointment of receivers were completed, and that in consequence all confidence in American railroads had been destroyed. Vresident Reinhart tonight said: The decision to put the Atchison system in the hands of a receiver was arrived at Tuesday, Dec. 19.

Twenty-four hours prior to that the management was confident it would pay its interest Jan. 1. At no time preceding that date was the receivership of the company contemplated. nor were any steps in any direction taken by any person to bring about that result. It has been stated in interviews accredited to Mr.

NVilson, one of the receivers. and to George R. Peck, General Solicitor of the road. that the company was known to be insolvent as early as in August last. and that papers were drawn then in anticipation.

Both these gentlemen deny most emphatically made any such declaration. and. for that matter, could not have; in the first instance, because Mr. Wilson's con neetion with the company only began with his appointment as receiver Dec. 23.

and Mr. Peck's duties as chief executive taw officer, tin not antieipate a knowledge of the roads finances. The statements made by the En-Wish press are based upon these bogus interviews. The condition of the company was clearly shown in the circular of the Board of Directors Dec. 23, and that was that its Western accounts were normal.

This is proven by the fact that the company's pay-rolls. which aggregate monthly for 9,345 miles of railroad $1.300,000, were practically not in default excepting only during the few days in which the receivership papers were filed. The pay-rolls for the month of November have now been paid. The financiering of the Atchison company at this time would be an exceedingly simple operation in ordinary times- Its condition is $6,300.000 collateral loans, all ot which, since the appointment of receivers. have been continued and the collateral saved for the company.

This practically leaves the company owing but $3.900,000, the aggregate amount of the interest due Jan. 1. There has been no statement given to the public of any kind from official source suggestive of financial reorganization of the company, so that all stories 'published in America and Europe of proposed assessments on stock, for the return of the second mortgage bonds to income of the disintegration of the system are absolutely and entirely creations of those who in these times assume to know more of the company's affairs than those in charge." 'Both Mr. Peck and Mr. Wilson, who are at the Ilolland House with President Reinhart, deny firmly having made any statement of the Atchison's finances, although they have been liberally quoted by Western correspondents.

Set FRANCISCO, Dec.

The otewards of the Pacific Blood-Horse Asfociation today ruled off Phil Archibald, the bookmaker and horse owner, for life, together with his horses. This action came out of a bad race run by Swifttture when a favorite on form last Wednesday. Be was badly beaten, and an investigation showed that Archibald had gone to the paddock after the big bettors had forestalled him in the betting and said "I'd give $200 if the horse was not one, two." "That's easily fixed," said his trainer, and the horse was lett away and. something done to him. sure enough, he was never in the face.

Archibald admits saying what he did, but denies the fixing. Mose Tavlor, who rode the horse, was one of the witnesses against Archibald. While in session the stewards indefinitely Fuspended Jockey Ilanawalt for his bad ride on 'Wednesday, pending further investigation. The bettors who forestall owners are making trouble between Barney Schriober and his trainer John Robbins, better known as the "Bone Doctor." Schrieber has been forestalled badly, and naturally looks to the stable for the leak. Today's racing was bad, end on a sticky track.

Yet three favorites won. The Eaten at odds on was easily beaten in the third race by Conde and Dr. Ross. Peril, heavily played at odds on, won the first event all the way. Banjo handily beat Nick Hails Babe in the second.

Howard, her btother, said: "I am rather surprised, considering Chicagos usual hustling style, that they were so slow in determining upon the fate of that When I left Chicago it was said that Prendergast would be hanged before Christmas. New Orleans lawyers thought he would be acquitted. This opinion was based upon the theory that he was insane." The Pica yune fully approves the conviction of Prendergast. it has followed all the testimony in the case, and is satisfied thoroughly that he was sane enough to know what he was doing; a deliberate murderer and worthy of punishment. Ile was an enthusiast and a fanatic, but that fact did not interfere with his responsibility for his act.

The people who went to the stake for their religion or their faith might as well be called insane. They knew what they were doing, and they undertook it voluntarily. The Times-Donoerat will say The verdict in the ease of Prendergast will meet with universal approval, and the promptness shown in the trial is deserving of the highest praise. Chicago acted well in insisting upon a prompt but Lair and impartial trial anti in condemning the murderer to death by the NW and preventing it by the act of a mob. Prendergast's mind was undoubtedly ill-balanced.

but the trial showed he knew what he was doing and was therefore responsible for his act. There is an increasing army of cranks in the country. What are we to do with them? We cannot confine them in an asylum, because there is not enough room, nor do they belong there." KNOWLEDGE FATE'S THOROUGHBREDS FOR SALE. He Acknowledges His 'Mexican Racing Venture a Complete Failure. Sr.

Louts, Dec. Pate, proprietor of the Penon race-track. today wrote to Sel lor Manuel Romero Rubio of the Mexican Ministry acknowledging the racing and breeding venture a failure and directing the sale of his thoroughbreds, which he values at 000, the proceeds to be devoted to the payment of debts of the track and the still further prosecution of the enterprise.

Recent Northern Pacific Developments Dne to Old Wall Street Committee Kindly Received at St.

Paul. I but Kto Progress to 'Oust I Receivers May Go Over for Trust Companies Dislike Receiver Wil- son Because lie Is a AVestern Man. MILWAUKEE. Dec. I It may be months before there is a decision in the petition for the removal of the receivers of the Northern Pacific company which was filed here yesterday.

The petition is so lengthy it is not probable that an answer can be filed within the twenty days, the time 0 fixed in the order of Judge Jenkins. When Judge Jenkins' attention was called to this yesterday he said that if necessary he would grant an extension of time. Then. before there can be a hearing, it will be necessary to take many depositions for evidence. This will take several weeks.

Judge Jenkins says that the hearing on the petition will be had before him in Chicago. It is said that when the Northern Pacific receivers file their answer to the petition for their removal there will be some sensational counter charges made. Receiver Payne and Mr. Cromwell of New York, counsel for the receivers, left last evening for St. Paul to have a consultation with Mr.

Oakes and to talk with the about the new scale of wages. Before he left Mr. Payne said that the petition transferred to the courts a fight which has Jong been going on in Wall street betwecn the Oakes party on the one side and the Ives party on the other. The receivers, he said. had faithfully administered their trust and had managed the road economically and profitably.

There was no ground for the charge that the receivers were inexperienced, he said, because Mr. Oakes and Mr. Rouse were two of the best railroad managers in the country. The tight, he understood, was principally against Mr. Oakes, the removal of Mr.

Rouse and himself having been asked only because they were found in Mr. Oakes' company. Mr. Cromwell said that it was simply an attempt on the part of Mr. Ives to have himself made a receiver in place of Mr.

Oakes. The receivers had managed the road successfully and had made a remarkable record. In four months they had protected a floating debt of $5,000,000, paid past debts amounting to $3.500,000, and provided for the payment of $2,000,000 of interest. Sr. PAUL.

Dec. 29.Receiver Payne of the Northern Pacific arrived this morning' from Milwaukee, accompanied by Senator Spooner and others, right upon the heels of the announcement of the formal declaration of war against Receiver Oakes made by Bray. ton Ives. General Manager Kendrick denies that the presence of Mr. Payne has anything' to do with the grievance committees.

Both Mr. Oakes and Mr. Payne refused to be interviewed, and the former gentleman stated that when he was ready to talk he would give out something that could not be misunder, stood. merely saying at the present time that the wh6le matter was a family row witk the party attacked in possession. The griev4 ance committees are still in the city', and as they have been treated very kindly by Mr.

Oakes they feel that it is his dispositiori to help them. The end of two weeks' hard however. leaves them with but a gliminer of hope and they are sore. The circular as it stands goes into effect Monday. Jan.

1. and no one is confident that its provisions will be departed from. Mr. Oakes read the petition over carefully for the first time this evening. and afterwards gave out the following statement: I just read the petition.

and I find that it is a repetition in another form of the statements made by the so-called Ives committee about a year ago. and which fully answered at the time in the official reply of the corporation. While, of course, regretting the annoyance of a renewal of these general charges and insinuations, I am glad they have been at last transferred from the columns of the newspapers to the court, where in the usual way they can be met and finally disposed of. All I care to say now is that, so far as this petition reflects upon the integrity of my conduct as a director and ecutive officer of the Northern Racifie railroad campany, it is absolutely without any justification in fact, as can and will be easily shown to the court in due time." 1, Late this afternoon a subcommittee of the Northern Pacific Conference committee met. General Manager Kendrick and arranged: with him that the grievances should be presented by a full union committee beginning with the engineers at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Each brotherhood has been granted the privilege of submitting a written statement and following it with a brief oral argument. NEW YORK, Dee. G. Rolston, President of the Farmers' Loan and Trust company, was not in a pleasant frame of mind today when he read the charges of wrecking the road preferred against Rim, Receiver and Henry Villard anent the petition for the appointment of new receivers for the Northern Pacific railroad company. I confess," said he, that I am astonished and indignant.

The charges, so far as they concern rne, are groundless and absurd. I have not profited by my connection with the Northern Pacific a single farthing. Any man who asserts to the contrary is guilty of the basest kind of falsehood. I am of the opinion that Robert Harris has a great deal to do with the charges, though he was, perhaps, put -up to It by Mr. Ives.

I have only the highest opinion of the officers who served while I was identified with the road. They were able and conscientious and honest. The accusations against Mr. Oakes are unjust and unfair. Mr.

Harris sat with us when it was determined that many of the leases and purchases of which he complains should be made. If I mistake not he advocated several of them himself I say without fear of the consequences that when Mr. Harris made those charges he knew them to be false from beginning to end. I may add that I have already consulted the firm of Thurber, McClure Rolston, and if the evidence proves sufficient upon which to base a claim for criminal libel I shall without delay direct them to proceed against Harris." It is announced that the Northern Pacific receivers will pay January interest on the first mortgage bonds and default on all other issues. OPPOSE RECEIVER WILSON.

New York Trust Companies Want Another Eastern Man. He Takes Formal Poseession of His Quarters on Anastasia Island. ANASTASIA' ISLAND, DOC. Charley Mitchell took formal possession of his training qnarters here at 3 o'clock this afternoon. There are twelve people in the party told, including two or three of Mitchell's personal friends, trainers, cooks.

and servants. The day was beautiful and dozens of tourists and sportsmen were fishing off the long pier and along the jetties. Ono fisherman pulled out a beautiful Spockled eea trout just as Mitchell stepped from the ferry boat, and, turning about, with some formality presented it to the pugilist. who carried it by the gills to his cottage and later had it cooked for his supper. At 5 o'clock' the boxer appeared on the beach in his sweater and took his first run- The location, quarters, and all the surroundings are satisfactory to Mitchell.

Tonight Billy Thompson received a telegram from the Duval Athletic club, announcing that at a meeting this afternoon the time for holding the tight was changed from 9 p. tn. to some hour between II a. tn. and ft p.

m. Jan. 25. This is t(erfectly satisfactory to Mitchell as well as Corbett, but there is an opinion prevalent that the change will lessen the attendance somewhat. One reason for the change.

it is said. is that both men prefer daylight to electric light to tight in. Dec. sensation of the day is a private dispatch from Gov. Mitchell to County Solicitor Christie.

who appeared as counsel for the prosecution in the Corbett-Mitchell cases Yesterday in the County Court. The Governor has SOTIIVIIOW conceived the idea that both Christie and Hartridge (the latter the Solicitor the Circuit Court I are in favor of the fight and net disposed to do their duty in this matter. Christie declines to show his telegram, but his friends say that "it rips the Solicitor up the back." It accuses him of being in collusion with the Duval club and the prizefighters. and expresses regret at his lack of loyalty to the State administration and disgust at his affiliation with the Governor's enemies. As Christie acted yesterday in the line of his duty, he is much hurt at this uncalled for rebuke from the Governor and not a little puzzled.

The Governor has a hasty temper. and is often unreasonable when opposed in his plans or his policy, so it will be extremely difficult to make him see that he has made a mistake in thus accusing the Selicitor of acting disloyally, and serious complications are likely to be the result. This has been a rather blue day for the sports and there is rather a shaky feeling in regard to the pulling oil of the fight. The (situation is about as follows: Gov. Mitchell and Attorney-General Lamar.

the highest law officer in the State. assert that the contest will violate the laws ot the State; Bowden of the Athletic club and his lawyers say it would not. Gov. Mitchell was once on the Supreme bench and it is believed that he knows as much about the laws of the State. as the attorneys for the club.

it is also believed that the opinion of Attorney-General Lamar that the proposed tight would be -illegal was, prepared after a consnitation with the Governor and members of the Supreme Court as to the law in the case. It is significant in this connection that Gov. Mitchell says no decision save that of he Supreme Court will deter him from every effort to ston the fight. Thos-e close to the Governor believe that this declaration means that the Governor knows that the decision of the Supreme Court will be against the legality of the contest. A dispetch from Tampa says the, Govarnor stated this evening in the most positive terms that "the tight will not come oil in Florida." He says that ha has his plans for preventing the fight being consmnmated, and that at the proper moment he will act.

The proper moment is supposed to be, in the Governor's opinion, when Mitchell and Corbett are ebout ready to face one another. The Governor is quoted as saying: "I regard this proposed tight as an offense against the peaee and dignity of the State, and inv determination to prevent it is fixed." -Meantime Corbett and Mitchell are engaged in 'slinging Billingsgate at one anothee: to the great disgust If the public. Corbett yesterday in an interview called Mitchell a 'convict and sneak" and Mitchell replies today. applying similar choice epithets to Corbett. If the promoters of the tight should by any chance succeed in pulling off the contest despite the Governor, and Corbett said Mitchell tight half as well with their fists as they do with their tongues, the spectators will be sure to receive a good run for their money.

Chicago Does Well to Convict Prendergast Sage NEW YORK. Dec. 29.Chauncey M. Depew said tonight concerning the verdict in the Prendergast ease: The verdict is gratifying to me, and should be so to every citizen, as a vindication of the supremacy of the law. a is a verdict which does great credit to CMcago and demonstrates, as did its action in the case of the Anarchists, its fearless and determined effort to make that municipality safe for life and property.

That is all I have got to say." Russell Sage said: Prendergast's pretensions of insanity were made up to gain the sympathy of those who might believe in him. I think the influence of the verdict will be a wholesome one. It will teach the masses to have no sympathy for cranks; that they are responsible to the law. which is the bulwark and protection of our lives, liberty, and property. Its influence will be restraining to cranks and make them lead lives of good and respectable citizens." PFlcIrIc CORST.

Mr. McLeod, according to reliable has given Alp the fight and he has made up his mind that he is done for so far as the New York and New England railroad is concerned. His friends said today that he did not intend to contest the receivership, and as for his offering to raise the $330.000 to pay the interest due on the first mortgage bonds Jan. which borne thinic might be a means of getting the temporary receivers discharged at the hearing Jan. 10, nothind is further from his purpose.

The developments since the receivership points to the acquisition of the -New England by the New York, New Haven and Hartford company, thus fulfilling the "manifest destiny" which, up to McLeod's advent into the former company. was considered as sure to come. The New Haven interests. it is said, have been conferring with the friends of Receiver Platt to ascertain what attitude the latter proposes to assume toward the New York, New Haven and Hartford company in case it is agreed that he shall be appointed in permanent charge. The temporary receiver in Connecticut represents the New Haven people.

It is believed that before Jan. 10 the New Haven company will have a complete understanding with Receiver Platt and that he will at least not manage things with a hostile hand. The New people made their plans for a foreclosure at the earliest attempt that the law allows, which is sixty days after default on the interest There seems no reason to doubt that a defa: will be made. Boirros, M-. Dec.

20.In the United States Circuit rt at 10 o'clock this forenoon before Jude Colt arguments were resumed on the apt for the appointment of temporary receivers for the New York end New England railroad company in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Strout of Boston, C. E. Perkins of Hartford, and Mr. Platt of Boardman dt Platt of New York. The proceedings were opened by Mr.

Perkins, who desired the court to appoint William T. Hart. Mr. Perkins said Mr. Hart had already about all the road except what is in Massachusetts.

After hearing arguments Judge Colt appointed Messrs. Platt and Hart receivers of the New York and New England road and Marsden J. Perry a third receiver, with bonds at $50.000 each. The same gentlemen are appointed receivers for the States of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. RIGHTS OF ERIE BONDHOLDERS.

An Ordinary Day's Racing on the New Orleans Coarse. NEW ORLEANS, Dee. card was not an attractive one each of the events being for selling platers and over a short distance of ground. Fairly good sport, however, was, afforded to the 2.500 or more who went to the track, most of the races resulting in finishes of the driving order. The prettiest racP of the day was the second, in which Bryan and Billy Bennett carried about all the money wagered on the result.

They bad the race to themselves throughout, Bennett leading to within fifty yards of the wire. where the favorite got on even terms with him, the pair going under the wire Andy a nose apart. Bryan won easily, however, Cassin trying, successfully, to draw a fine finish. The 2-year-old affair which followed gave no chances for any argument as to the result. Jim Henry losing the otheis in the last sixteenth and winning away off.

Fishburn rode a good race on Capt. Drane in the final event and scored with him his first win in several years. Eight of the Avondale Stables string arrived today, including Indigo, Fraulein, Marcel, and several 2-year-olds. Ida Pickwick remains in Tennessee. W.

concerning Erie second mortgage bondholders, contending the foreclosure rights under a mortgage are not nearly so limited as usually assumed, and urging holders to confer and combine in order to prevent the property from being destroyed. The Financial News, commenting on Mr. Robsonis letter, says: It is undoubtedly a scandal that bondholders should be asked to submit to a reduction of interest apparently for the benefit of shareholders. It is a question, however, whether it would not be better to do so in order to obtain a new security with absolute and undeniable powers of foreclosure and side. It would be interesting to discover the real construction of the mortgage deed; but if they mean litigation in the United States the bondholders will pause before they attempt to enforce rights about which there is any doubt.
