ments made by the Secretary of the
Treasury as custodian. The total in
debtedness of the several subsidized Pa
cific railroads to the United States on June

instituted in the Court of Claims to de-
termine what constitute net earnings un-
der the act of May Z, 1878. the company
has agreed to comply with all demands
OF the government pending litigation, but
IL is not to be considered that the COM
pany assents to the governments state
ment or claim of the amount of the net
earnings or the elements that should
enter into the determination of them. The
company also reserves the right to have
judicial determination of the amounts to
be paid by the government for transpor-
tatIon, and also what shall be deducted
from the gross earnings in order to ascer-
tam the net earnings. The company has
also filed, under it's corporate seal, an

operated by it. This assignment remains
in force until the matters in dispute are
finally determined.

He is Only vermonter.
LONDON, Oct. 4.-G. e. Rogers. the
American who was arrested last Satur-
day at the instance of Mr.. Parkinson. ed
itor of the St.Stephen'S Rsuteto, on a Charge
of assault and battery, was before the
Bow street police court to-day. He was
bound over In the sum of 910 to keep the
peace and was forbidden to approach the
Office of the 50. Stephens ReUte.o.
NJ. Train, the barrister, appeared for
the prosecution against Mr.. Rogers. In
his opening speech be said that little was
was known OF Mr.. Rogers, except that he
came to England to advocate the claims
OF Mr.. Blaine for the Presidency. Mr..
Rogers had visited the Office of the So.
Stephens Revielo, and as result of this
visit an article of an amusing character
was inserted in the Rericlo. In this Mr.
Rogers was dubbed "Talker Rogers" Mr..
Rogers, who was believed to be an Irish
American, objected to the article,
and, revisited the Office of the
ReUtel1 to utter his /. complaints.
He. there indulged in abusive language,
Z.
Parkinson, and vowed that he would kill
him. Mr.. Parkinson, however, received
no serious injury. After that he assault
ed Cashier Dalgleisb. There was no
doubt, the, barrIster continued, but Mr..
Rogers was a dangerous gentleman, and
that he was connected with people
throughout the country who were engaged
IN various dangerous offenses. The SOON
er he left England the better it would be
for him. Manager Parkinson, of the st.
Stephens ReUielC, testified that Mr.. Rogers
called at the ReUlelo office and offered to
write an article, and this article appeared
in the Reuie,o. subsequently to this he
met Mr. Rogers at the American Ex-
change and was there assaulted by that
gentleman.
HE WOULD DO THEM UP.
On that occasion he said that Mr..
Rogers acted like madman, and uttered
a menace that he would ''do for them"
Mr.. Rogers, he further testified, gave him
no useful information regarding the Presi-
Dental election in America, and nothing
that he said appeared in the Reote1c. He
was seeking information of this kind be-
cause, in connection with Mr.. Wallace
Mckay, the ReptelC was contemplating
the publication OF special edition re-
ferr1ng to the American Presidential can
didates, Mr.. Blaine and Mr. Cleveland,
and he had been recommended to find
8 'Talker Rogers" as one who would be
likely to give him the facts he desired.
Mr.. Rogers said in defense that he had
been treated unfairly. He had been called
a rowdy and rufian, and had been ac-
cused of being an lrishman and of as
sociating with dangerous people. The
TACT was that he was a VermOnter, and
the accusation that he was connected
with the dynamiters was made with the
sole intent to create prejudice against
him. The Magistrate said that it was
wrong of the prosecution to intimate that
Rogers was a quasi criminal. The de-
mands OF justice would be met by bind
ing the prisoner to keep the peace.

Costs Decided Not to bo Added to Fines
in Deciding Court Jurisdiction.
DUBUQUE, IA, Oct. 24.-The State Su-
preme Court to-day rendered an opinion
on one Of the sections of the State pro-
hibitory law, the effect of which is that
Justices Of the Peace have jurisdiction to
try certain cases under it where the fine
is 500 or less. A month ago Judge Hayes,
of the District Court at Muscatine, de-
cided that on the question of jurisdiction
of a Justice of the Peace the costs as we'll
as fine should be counted in. If both were
over 500 the case should go to the Dis
trict Court. This was regarded
as an anti-prohibitory decision. A
day or two after Judge Stutsman
of the District Court at Burlington decided
on the contrary that the cost should not
be counted, which was regarded as a pro-
hibitory decision. The latter decision the
Supreme Court affirms. The decision is
unanimous. 1t holds that the costs in a
case are no part of the punishment, but
are for compensation to the officers for the
enforcement of the law

BINGHAAfPToN, N. Y, Oct. 24.-Preth's
family vault, one of the costliests struc-
lures ofthe kind in the State, was entered
by grave robbers last night and
the tomb of Robert, son of the late

ing the vault, the robbers, five
in number, were frightened away before
they could remove the remains. A suit
is pending for So, 900, the amount claimed
by physician for embalming the body,
and it is thought by some that parties in
terested in this suit sought to ascertain
how far the embalming process of the
body had been successful in preserving
the body. Others believe that the object
of the persons engaged in the desecration
was to steal the body and hold it for re-

The Trap Held in Place by Hair from
the Head of the Dead Wife.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 24.-Jan Waste
lewsky was hanged here this morning at
u:O3 O'Clock. Wasielewsky was a
native of Poland, aged 80, and a
butcher by trade. In 1879 he was sentenced
to three years. Imprisonment in the State
prison for cattle stealing. Before his in
carceratiOn he warned his wife that if
she procured a divorce from him he
would kill her when he got out. His
wife paid no attention to that threat,
but procured divorce and married
again. When WasieleWsky was dis
charged he sought his former wife, and
on March "a of the present year stabbed
her thirteen times. She lived long enough
to inform the authorities of the name of
her murderer. Wasielewsky was arrested
in Silver City, New Mexico. He tried to
starve himself to death in jail, but his
courage failed him. He had to be assisted
to the scaffold and was so COM
pletely overcome by fear that while
being pinioned he acted as If he
had an epileptic fit. A peculiar feature
of the execution was that the trap was
held in place by hair from the head of the
murdered wife. Eleven minutes after
the drop fell he was pronounced dead.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The Sixth
Auditor has prepared a statement of the
receipts and disbursements of the Post
Office Department for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1884, from which it appears
that the expenditures amounted to $46,-
411,772, made up as follows: Third
quarter of 1888, $11, ,6O6, ,251; fourth quarter
of 1888, $11, ,965; first quarter
of 1884, $11,62S,95S; second quarter
of 1884. 1865, ,596. The receipts, ex-
elusive of the money order reve-
nue., were $40, ,S1S.635, made up
by quarters as follows: Third quarter Of
1888, $40, ,595, ,S67; fourth quarter of 1888,
$11, ,159, GIG; first quarter of 1884, $l0,S43.-
Sos; second quarter of 1884, $l0,219,5S2.
The account reveals a deficiency of $3,-
593. 1877 for the year, which is attributed to
the reduced postage. The department
last year had a surplus of $2,653, 1S9. This
years deficiency, however, will be re-
Guced about $500, 900 by the money order
revenues. The result confirms the esti-
mate made by President Arthur in his
message to the last Congress.
