overheard conversation between Gro.

the latter said to Senator Grover that
he had secured German, Of Umatilla,
but II had coat him $1,000, and other
very damaging statements in connection
Herewith, all Of which was most en- phat.
ically contradicted by:those persons when
on the stand before the Committee. Sew.
eral witnesses were examined before the
Grand Jury, and after q careful inyesti.
CATION OF the case, true bill was return
ed to-day against Stiles, charging HIM

default Of which he was committed.
The grand jury has also found two

We may now undertake to count the
cost Of the five days strike which the
New York Journal Of Commerce es stimates
at S2G, 100000. The five railroads con.
cerned probably lost $4,000 each pOr
day or altogether 100000 daily; add
$4,000 as low calculation for losses by
interruption OF other roads, and the total
is S2jO,0OO per day, or 81 l,25O,OOO for the
five days suspension. The Losses sus.
tanned by the Pennsylvania road u! Pitts.
bursh and on the line between that city
and Harrisburg are calculated at $40 ,O00,.
900. Half OF that amount would scarce.
ly cover the cost Of property destroyed
on the Baltimore & Ohio, and it is likely
that $lO,OOo,OOO wonld approximate the
losses Of railroad property other than
those which have been enumerated.
This makes total Of S9G, $50, 900. There
are losses other than these which might
be taken into account but which it would
be difficult to estimatc, such as tho losses
sustained by various branches OF industry
by the stopping Of communication by
railroad.
