The Grand Jury at New York failed to in
dict Gould and Sage for the alleged larceny of
50, 000, 600 worth of Denver and Pacific Rail-
road bonds. This ends all proceedings against
the two Wall street magnates.
A loss OF three quarters of q million dollars
was entailed by the burning Of the Union
Square Theater and Morton House, adjoining,
in New York. Several firemen were badly
hurt by falling walls.
JOHN d. RoCKAFEILER appeared before the
New York Senate Trust-investigating Com
mittee, and testified that he was the Presi-
dent Of the Standard Oil Company Of Ohio,
and member of the Standard Oil trust He
produced the agreement asking that its con-
tents be kept from the press, as it contained
private matter. Mr.. Rockefeller said the
trust was started with $40, 100000 capital,
which had been increased by stock dividends
to s90,000000. He believed all the refneries
entering into the agreement were corpo-
ratons. No companies were taken after
ward except for reasonable value of their
refneries No efforts had been made to force
their stocks down in order to force them into
the trust The witness said that the oil
product of the country is about $1,000, 900
barrels annually. Three quarters Of this is
controlled by the trust The trust certificates
are worth sl65, par value 800 They have
been higher. In 1887 the shareholders re-
ceived 20 per cent more stock, and in adj
dition a dividend of 10 per cent Dividends
have been declared every three months, the
average being "a per cent annually.

KNOCKING OUT GOULD.

The Pacific Railway Telegraph Bill Pass
es the House with Rush.
wrTH extraordinary unanimity the House OF
Representatives. on the Sd inst. voted TO at.
tack the Western Union Telegraph Company
at it's most vulnerable point Out of a total
vote of y0l on the Pacific Railroad Telegraph
bill there were 1877 yeas and nays. The effect
OF this bill is to nullify the existing CON-
tracts between the Union and Central Pacific
railroads and tho Western Union whereby the
latter enjoys q monopoly of the wires along
the limo of the Pacific roads. It IN claimed that
these contracts are I'm violation of the law of
Congress authorizing and extending Govern
mont aid I'm the construction OF the Pacific
railroads. and are therefore void. The Pacific
roads arc obligated TO construct q telegraph
line as well % TO lay railroad trucks, and had
no power TO either sell or lease the telegraph
part of the plant.
