distance. Some 1000 claims, so far, have
been located in companies, all of which are

SANTA Cruz, June 1Sth.-Further testi.
mony was taken in the Otto dedication case
this morning. The theory of the defense has
proven to be that the safe might have been
opened by some one who learned the combi-
nation for the purpose. The foreman of Kit
tredge's safe factory was examined, who tes-
titied that the combination on any lock can
be, by close observation, picked mp. The
rebuttal to this defense has occupied the time
of the Court for day, the prosecution hav-
ing caused the safe 70 lie examined by Santa
Cruz merchants and bank officers, all of whom
testified to the impossibihty to catch
the combination. This morning c.. J.
Parcelus, manager at San Francisco
of the Hall Safe Company, was
examined. and explained the combine
ton work of the lock- He thought it i'm
possible to catch the combination. The
people are disappointed on account of the de-
fense not placing Otto on the stand as they
expected to hear some explanation of the af-
fair directly from him. Some excitement was
caused by the prosecution offering to put in
evidence letter which was found torn in
the waste basket of the Treasurers office on
the 18th of September, 1879. The letter was
put together. and is said to contain evidence
damaging to the defendants case; but on OBJ.
lection the Court ruled that the evidence was
inadmissable, as not being proper rebutting
testimony. This closed the case and at 1:30
the District Attorney opened his argument
to the jury, speaking until 2:45 o'clock.

parties here had received additional
details Of the meeting Of the Louis
vile aud Nashville and the Nashville
and Chattanooga directors, in Nash
vile, at which the sale of the Owen =
bOro and Evansville and St. Louis
and Southeastern roads was deter
mined upon. The work on the 0weni :
bOrO line is TO be stopped at once, and
the Louisville and Nashville road to
Henderson viii be used instead. Mr..
Newcomb said the policy of a trunk
line will be fully carried out on the
Inc from st. Louis to Savannah, aud
that as soon as arrangements can be
completed, application will be made
for admission to the trunk -liue pool.
The steel rails and rolling-stock
ordered by president Cole for the
condemned roads are to be sold, aud
through a rise in prices it is expected
that over $500,000 profit will be
realized also that the condemned
roads will bring $2,OOO,OO1 in excess of
their cost. There is to be no cousoli-
dation ofthe Louisville and Nashville
and Nashville and Chattanooga, but a
prorating agreement to run five years
is to be drawn up between these two
companies aud the Georgia Central
and Western and Atlantic.
