acted together in the adjournment of the

been censured for 50 agreeing with Mae
Veagh, what shall be said of the remark
able fact that Cook, Gibson, and Mac
Veagh took pains to be absent when the
grand jury met, and that not q
single witness had been subpenaed
by them to appear before that
bodyP Did it not give ground
for suspicion against them thus
to run away leaving no word as to their
intentions2 They proceeded just as men
would who had no witnesses and were
making q sham-fght through the news
papers to be bought Off The campaign
now being made by Cook and Gibson
through the newspapers against the Dis
trict Attorney, who has not been in any

cases, is an arrogant and an insulting at

themselves been found wanting TO die

There seems to be hitch in the New

this roads line is 964 miles long, while
that Of the Pennsylvania road is only
912. This would require them to run
each mile in minute and thirty-six
seconds, according to their fast train
schedule, not including stops. The Penn
sylvania would, of course, be able, with
their superior equipment and shorter
to eclipse any time made 10y the
Central, and publicly announce their iu-
tention of doing so. The Michigan Cen
trail also protests against being left out
in the cold, as it would necessarily be
if fast trains were inaugUrsted.
