Ths Pacific Railroad Investigation

For Instance, the opening statement ol
the minority report is put in the form OF a
headline setting forth that the Pacific
roads have received from the Government
the enormous sun Of Sii7, 729, 40. Turn
ing to the report of the majority, we find
the statement that the aid extended by
Government to all the Pacific roads, in
GLIDING bonds and lands, amounts to S97,
100. 400 Here Is difference at the start
OF over three hundred and fifty million
dollars between the minority and majority
upon the essential point of the amount OF
aid furnished these companies by the
Government How comes this abont
1t will be found upon examination that
the majority use very simple process.
They compute the value OF the entire land
grant at VI 20 per acre. the price at which
it was held by the Government (and with
out tho railroads ii could not be sold at
any prics), aGd add it 10 tue sum of the
bonds actually issued. The ingenious
Pattson adds TO the price OF the lands the
enhanced value gwen them by the build
ing OF tie roads, presenting this as the
amount OF aid 10 lands. This, with aid
from other sources, that is, town and
couniy bonds. is added to the principal
and interest on the subsidy bonds, max

A WARM TRIAL.
The Great Injunction Suit.

Examination of witnesses in the ap-
plication Of Kaufman and Runge, ask
ing for the appointment of a receiver
for the assets of Eaton, Guinan &
Go. began on Saturday, and; being ad-
journed till to-day, eliminated
in one of the hottest cases on
the records OF the district court. The
witnesses examined to-day were:
Mr.. Eaton, Mr.. Guinan, Mr.. Maitland,
Mr.. Turner, bookeeper for Eaton &
Guinan, and Mr.. w. w. Seley. The
examination included tho entire tran
sactions Of Eaton, Guinan & Co. with
the state bank. During the examination
into certain acceptances it was devel-
oped that 5000 of acceptances given
by Hamilton Bros. favor, Eaton,
Guinan & Co. had disappeared. 1t
was sworn to by three Of
the first witnesses that those
acceptances were in the safe on a GER
tain Saturday and now are not to be
found. 1t was testified by Mr.. W. w.
Seley that on the signing Of deed Of
trust by Eaton, Guinan & Co. he sur
rendered to Eaton, Guinan & Co. the
collateral he held on the acceptances
Of Eaton, Guinan & Co. A very hot
bit Of by-play occurred during the ex-
animation Of one of the firm who testi-
fed that he had collected some $4,000,
since the first Of December.
The court adjourned at twelve, with
Mr. Eaton yet to be examined in re.
gard to the missing acceptances, but al
two o'clock when court met, his testi.
mony was dispensed with, and argu
ments of attorneys were heard.
The gist of the trial seems to have
turned on the disclosures of Mr.. Seley
in regard to the transactions between
himself and Eaton, Guinan & Co., ant
his testimony was clear, straightfor
