A Small Craft.

WASHINGTON, December ga small
vessel anchored off Sixth Street wharf
to-day after an ocean voyage of nearly
5000 miles. The vessel, which is named
La Libertad, was built by Captain Slo-
cum in Rio Janeiro. Brazil. to convey
himself, wife and two children back to
America, the Aquidneck, in which Cap
tain Slocum sailed to Brazil, having
been lost on sand spit. The La LIB
ertadi is 35 feetlong ~ feet beam, 81 feet
deep, and has only canvas covered deck
house to afford protection against the
weather. She left Rio Janeiro July Oath
last, and after stopping at Bahia, Per-
nambuco and several other ports,
reached Norfolk, Va, two weeks ago.
The little craft weathered some heavy
seas in the tropics, and brought its oc-
cupants to this city in good health and
apparently none the worse for their
dangerous trip.

received in this city to-day from
Austin, Tex, announce that the Su-
preme Court of Texas has rendered q
decision in the case of the State against
the Texas Traffic Association, making
permanent the Injunction previously
obtained. This Injunction restraints
the association from continuingin the
business. The Texas Association is
made up of railroads in Texas, all OF
which were united under an agreement
as to rates. Newman, of the Missouri
Pacific Railway, says the new injunc-
ton will only effect the roads that are
altogether In Texas. McRobie, of the
st. LOUIS, Arkansas & Texas, says it
will not have much effect on Texas
roads, as the association dissolved last

Tho Anarchists.

CHICAGO, December 27.-The applics-
ton on behslfIthe Ansrchistic Arbeiter
Bund for an injunction restraining the
police authorities from preventing their
meetings was argued before the master
in chancery to-day, on behalf of the
Bund. It commended it was a peaceful
organization, whose sole aim was the
amelioration of the condition of the
human race and that the action of the
police in forbidding them to meet and
in closing all halls against them, is an
open violation of their Constitutional
rights as citizens of this republic.
On behalf of the city, it was argued
that the Bund, as body, was made ND
or men opposed to the operation of all
laws, and that the propagation of their
theories tended to public disorder, rem
dering life and property insecure.
When the arguments ended the mas
ter reserved his decision, remarking
that he would announce the day when
his recommendation will be made
known.

and told Rust to take one and
go with him and they would settle their
difficulty. A quarrel ensued, and
Olson finally jumped over the counter,

quick for him, however, drew his own
pistol and shot Olsen twice, killing him

Railway Continuation.

CHICAGO, December 27.-The Railacay
Age tomorrow will say: THE railway
mileage of the year just past was in
creased by less than Z ,12O miles of main
track. While this is much less than
the phenomenal mileage for 1881, 1885
AID 1887, the record exceeds that of
every other year, with the exception OF
1871, when 1873 miles were added.
Kansas still leads In the extent of new
mileage, as she has done for several
wears, California comes next. The
most striking characteristic of the work
is the large number of seperate lines
of which it is composed and the cor
respondingly small average of each
line. Building of great competitive
lines has practically ceased, and the
present year is devoted exclusively to
the construction of short independent
lines or branches.

why It Failed.

OMAHA, December IA Bee special
from Loup City says; "The failure
of the Sherman Company Bank, yes
terday, was caused by the demand of
the country on them for money de-
posted there, amounting to about
81, 400, which they were unable to raise,
and President Whaley turned the bank
over to the sheriff, without consulting
the board of directors. AS yet nothing
can be ascertained as to the liabilities
or assets, although it is rumored that
the institusion are in good shape. It is
thought the depositors will be paid in
full, as the directors are men Of con-
siderable means.

Lone ISLAND CRY, N. j., December y
inspectors of the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the United States, have un-
earthed a novel swindling scheme. 1t
has been the custom since the bureau
extended its operations to queens
County for all cattle killed because OF
being affected with pleuro-pneumonia
to be appraised and paid for out of the
United States Treasury. The appraised
value has averaged $35 1he swindle
lust discovered enabled the perpetrators
TO pocket from $40 to SIS each for
q large number of cattle con-
demned and slaughtered. The sWindlers
would procure a small farm in
the towns of Newton or Jamaica and
send from New York or other places,
droves Of cattle, purchased at S25 per
head. Cows which had died of pleuro-
pneumonia would then be obtained and
exposed near the cattle a sufficient
length of time to insure incubation
with the disease. Inspectors visiting
the farm, would find the herd infected,
and an appraisement and slaughter
would follow. Although the inspectors
have no doubt whatever that the owners
of cattle have deliberately perpetrated
the sWindle, they have been unable to
obtain conclusive evidence to warrant
arrests. In order to prevent any more
such swindling, the chief inspector has
decided to pay for no more infected
cattle. It is believed that the Treasury
has been defrauded of between $40. ZOO
and 5000 during the past year. One
man had three herds condemned.
