THE quickest time on record made by
train of improved stock cars between
Chicago and New York is just reported.
The speed from Buffalo was at the rate
of thirty to forty-fve miles an hour.
The shrinkage was only twenty pounds
per head, while the usual loss is from
seventy to one hundred pounds. These
cars permit each animal to occupy a sep
arate stall. The animals can also lie
down and move about without coming
in contact with each other. For feeding
and watering the animals without un
loading the facilities are ample.

THE trial at New Haven of the Malley
boys sand Blanche Douglass, charged with
the outrage and murder of Miss Jennie
Cramer, it is thought by those who have
been watching the proceedings, will not
result i'll conviction, but rather in ac-
quittal-not because the Malleys have
been shown to be innocent, but because
they have not been indisputably shown
to be guilty of the crime for which they
are indicted. And yet public opinion
will nevertheless hold them responsible
for Jennie Cramer's death.

LEGISLATURES.

ALBANY, Jan. 1.-THE Senate met at
noon and Gov Cornell sent in his message.
Under the head of canals the Governor
says: The competition of railroads, the
enlargement of the Canadian canals and
the development of the Mississippi river
route, are important considerations with
reference to the future capacity of the ca
mails to earn the necessary revenue for
their maintenance. If added to these there
should be a small foreign demand for
breadstuffs, or reduced production in the
Western States, it is plain to be seen that
under the present constitution on canal ex
penditures, the usefulness of the canal
may be seriously imperilled, If not entirely
suspended until relief be secured through
the amendment to the constitution. In
view of the time required by this process
your consideration of the pending PROPOSE
tions for constitutional amendment is re-
speetfuly suggested"
1t is reported tonight that the Democrat
ic State Committee will interpose to break
the deadlock in the Legislature.

PACKED JURY.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-The trial of Hawkins
Bros. before Justice Mech yesterday, for
keeping a gambling house, resulted in
verdict of acquittal. 1t required the jury
two minutes to agree on a verdict, and fif-
teen minutes to sign their names to it. AS
the verdict was announced the Hawkins
boys smiled knowingly. The prosecuting
attorney uttered some severe words. Rob
ert Law who instigated the case, was
aghast at the result and Justice Mech,
throwing up his hands, calculated: May
the Lord have mercy on your psrjured
soulsp' Five minutes later some OF the
jury were regaling themselves at the bar
kept by the proprietors of the gambling
house. There is great Indignation in the
city at the shameless way in which the
case was allowed to go before a packed
jury, and Mr.. Law intends to carry the
case to the highest courts. He says the
fight has just commenced, and it is antici-
pated that lively war against gamblers
will now be inaugurated.

Investigation of the contingent fund ex-
penditures. They examined Senator Sher-
man to-day regarding the alleged irregu-
larities in Treasury expenditures, while he
WAS Secretary. He disclaimed any knowl-
edge whatever of the irregularities and
discrepancies that has been discovered
and said that the Secretary of the Treas
ury has too many matters of weighty
Importance for his attention to watch all
the minute details of the department. that
he must trust the details to subordinates
and cannot possibly have an eye upon all
their acts and accounts. Regarding the
allegation that Treasury workmen had
done work upon his house and been paid
out of the contingent fund, he admitted
that mechanic had been employed by
him at different times, but he had paid for
all work there out of his own pocket.
A member of the committee says the
developments are all of very small grade
and the irregularities involve petty affairs.
1t is said that the only criticism to be
made upon Sherman. is that because he
could not get work done little cheaper
by them, he consented to use in his own
service men employed in the department
he had in charge.
