question regarding the allowance to be made
for car rentals in the Toledo Cincinnati
& st. Louis narrow-guage case. Judge Gresham
intimated that a reduction of Is per cent. would
be made in the estimates reported by the mas
ter. Mr.. Ingersoll, the representatives of the
new purchasers, made motion for the reopen
ing of the case for further testimony with the
object of getting greater reduction. Judge

open until tomorrow morning

St. Pauls's Debt Liquidated.

The congregation of ST. Pauls Church are con-
graduating themselves, and with good reason,
in having recently lifted the debt which has
rested on them for years. A month ago DR..
Jenckes called meeting and stated that the
debt was then $1L,350. and asked for subscrip-
tons. Since that time over $l7, 900 has been
subscribed, and the church is therefore not only
free from debt. but has substantial balance in
its treasury.
