A RAILROAD MIDDLK. The Supreme Court Ila Some thing to Say. Special to Tiik Astokian. New York, May 14. Judge O'Brien, in the supreme court to-day, decided the case of Geruscheim les Olcott, Huntington, et. al, granting an in junction, restraining the Central Trust company from assessing the stock holders "of the Houston and Texas Central railroad. The litigation was the result of a reorganization scheme, by parties controlling the property. The road was sold on account or non payment of mortgages. The stock holders were notified that it could be repurchased in stock at $74 per share, though it has not sold for over $il, for a number of years. Geruscheim, as owner of 740 shares, in sueiug alleged that the decree of sale had been obtained by fraud and collusion.

The Repub lican and Democratic county candi dates commenced the canvass of Lane county to-day, with speeches at Mo hawk, and will continue each day, speaking at all principal points in the county until election day, June 2nd. Although the Republican majority is large in the state, and several hun dred in this county, there is some doubt as to governorship and as to some of the ticket iu this county. The same arguments that elected Pennoyer governor four years ago, as the champion of the working people, whon the Republicans had a large majority, are now being used in his favor again, and his veto of the Port land water bill to issue non-taxable bonds, for which Thompson, the Re publican candidate voted, is being used with great earnestness by ins supporters, while they appeal to the prejudices of the poor classes against Thompson, on account of his wealth.

This company is forwarding supplies to the Chinese who have entered lower California, with the intention of crossing the line, and who have been instructed to make no effort to more for the present, until the excitement dies down, and the line is free from pickets. Too 3Iuch for the TelepltoRc. The telephone it is said, is not mak ing much progress in Russia. And no wonder; fancy a man going to the phone and yelling: uHol-lo!

I want to know it Xilteroman-skeffiskillmajuwchzvastowsksweibiera-ki is still stopping with Devisostkivch smartvoiczvski." Such nomenclature over the tele phone would tie the wire full of knots, and twist the enunciator all out of shape. Until the kinks are ironed out of the Russian names the tele phone will not bo an overwhelming success in tho land of the czar. Absolutely Pure.
