creased to $1.009,000, that the attempt on the
part of the directors and the comptroller of
the currency in December, 1881, to fix the

Charges Filed.

w. w. Welshiere, ex-Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Arkansas, and Robert
Chrisy filed to-day with the Secretary of the
Treasury charges to the effect that list of
judgments and decisions filed in the State
Department by the late Court of Commits
sions of Alabama claims was illegal and de-
ficient; thai list of judgments filed in the
Treasury Department by j. d. Porter, As
sistant Secretary of State, was not certified
as the law requires; that consequently the
Treasury Department was not in possession
of any legal list of judgments on which it
had authority to issue drafts, and that all
This is said to raise interesting and import
ant questions. The law, it is said, prescribes
that the court, after all its judgments and de-
ciSionS are rendered shall send a list thereof
to the Secretary of State, and that certified
copy shall be transmitted by the Secretary
of State to the Secretary of the Treasury.
1t appears the complainants alleged by in
spectiOn of the records that large portion
of them were not certified by the commits
sioners, but by the clerk, and that no certi-
fed copy of judgments was made at the
State department. The latter instead of
furnishing certified copy to the treasury,
sent simply a certificate by Assistant Secre-
tary Porter, that d. W. Fessenden was clerk
of the commission, which complainants say
in no wise complies with that statute. The
facts will be inquired into by the Supreme
Court of the district in general term, on
the 18th inst, upon return of rule to show
cause against Secretary Bayard, why man
damus should not be issued compelling him
to send a correct list of judgements to the
treasury department.

accidents on German RAILWAYS

The number Of accidents on all German
lines, having normal gauge, amounted,
during the year 18S4-S5, to spas, against
1887 in 1883-S4. OF these 400 were caused
by trains running off the line, 1924 by col
lisions, and 1924 were due to other cir
cumstances. Excluding deaths by sui
eide, 2,645 persons, against 2,677 the year
before, were killed or injured, the figures
being 5O7 in the first case and 2,138 in the
latter. The total number OF accidents
comprised 40 passengers killed and 12l
injured, OF whom Il suffered death and 50
injury during journeys, in consequence
OF negligence on the part OF the railways.
To impudence on the part of passengers
by making use OF, entering, or leaving car
riages, the death of rs and injuries to
SO persons is attributed. The number of
deaths compared to that OF travellers is
0.1S in a million, against 90 In 1SSS-S4,
whilst injuries were sustained at the rate
OF 0.44 per million. In keeping the lines
in repair, constructing buildings on the
lines, loading and unloading OF goods, 10
railway servants and men were killed
and 467 were injured. Eight other peo-
pie we're killed and 40 injured by mIshaps
to trains, whereas 1914 lost their lives and
1852 suffered injuries by their own negli-
genee, against $50 and 1T respectively in

A SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL.
CLOSE of the Meetings at New Hous
ton Street Church.


ton Street Church.
The series of revival meetings which
have been in progress at New Houston
street Methodist Church for the past two
weeks were closed last night. TIE pas
tor, Rev. j. p. Wardlaw, filed the pulpit
Tor the closing sermon, and took for his
text |. Kings, xviii, 81: ''And Elijah
came unto all the people and said, how
Hong halt We between two opinions. Ii
THE Lord be God, follow him: but il Baal,
then follow him. And the people answer
red him not word.''
! Mr.. Wardlaw followed out the line OF
thought as indicated In the text. While
he had every reason for being thankful
that the meetings had been so successful,
he felt and knew that impressions had
been made that we're not yielded to, and
that hearts had been touched that still re-
lmained stu bborn. He made strong ap-
ipeal to this class, urging them to yield to
1.-THE mOvings of the spirit, and at the same
time obtain the plsudits of their own con-
sciences by doing what they telt and be-
lieved 10 be their duty.
Every one present seemed deeply inter-
ested, and the altar was crowded by those
who responded to the invitation to come
up and be prayed for. The meetings have
been very successful, forty-hve acces-
isions to the church having been made
SeInce they began.
