WASHINGTON, October 1O.-In the case oi
the Central Pacific Railroad company
Secretary Noble to-day overruled the de.
cision Commissioner Sparks made May 8,
1887, which required the company to file
with it's list of lands selected under its
grants the usual non-mineral affidavit as
used in agricultural cases. Generally the
practice in the case OF land grant to rail-
road companies is for the agent to make
out lists ofthe land within the grant and
submit the same TO the department with
an affidavit to the effect that the plats and
survey or's returns show the lands to be
mineral. Mineral lands are reserved from
the grant. The. ordinary agricultural
claimant must take an oath that he knows
from personal inspection that on the land
he claims ttere is no mineral. The secretary
holds, inasmuch as the exis ling require.
ments were complied with by the company
at the date OF tn, selection, no retroactive
rule should be applied to it. These selec-
tions were made during the year of 1885
and 1886. Similar rulings were made in
the cases OF the Southern and Atlantic &
tactic railroad companies. These deci.
sions will release from suspension and pass
to patent about six million acres of land
within these grants.

The Steamer "City Of New York" Lying
On the Rocks.

The Steamer "City Of New York" Lying
| On the Rocks.
| New YORK, October 1O.-The Inman line
steamer City OF New York is still aground
in the lower bay and eleven tugs have been
sent after her. Her passengers are being
taken off. 1t is feared that she ia sinking
in the quicksand. The first report was
that the big steamer had grounded in the
channel last night, but that was a mistake.
She lies hard and fast little east of buoy
5h. The company this morning expected
to get her afoat at o. m.
One OF the big tugs which went to her
assistance returned to quarantine before
noon and reported all previous efforts to
float the ocean racer had been unavailing.
This tug did not confirm the report th 1T
the steamer was sinking in the quicksand
but brought news OF considerable excite
mcnt existing among the passengers on
board.
The steamer carried 500 first cabin pas.
sengers and 175 second cabin passengers.
The steerage contained hundreds of others.
Among the first cabin passengers is William
Barrett, the English tragedian.
This afternoon the tugs abandoned their
endeavors to get the vessel afoat, and de-
cided to wait for high water to night to get
her off. The small steamboats, Fletcher
and John E. Moore landed the bulk of the
steamships cabin passengers at the Inman
line dock during the afternoon.
Among the cabin passengers taken off the
City OF New York by a steamer were George
Gould and wife. The later was ill and had
to be carried aboard the other boat. It
was learned later that Mrs. Gould's illness
is not serious.
The steamer seems to stand as il she was
on dry dock. Her how is more elevated
than her stern. Her twin screws stand al
most clear of the water and che is visibiy
listed to port.
The pilot who was in charge when the
steamer went aground, said he had been
pilot for seven years and had never met
with an accident before. He stood on the
bridge with six o GERS of the vessel, when,
looking forward, he saw a pilot boat cross
ing the steamers bow. He ported to avoid
collision with her, and ran aground be-
fore he could starboard his vessel. Steer
age passengers were SO wild and excited
that they wanted to lynch the pilot, but
were soon subdued by Captain Lewis and
the officers. The steamer Star took the
OF the cabin passengers and a
good deal OF baggage to the city this after
noon. The steerage passenger were landed
in Jersey City about 1 o'clock this
morning.

and all that is necessary being to cut a
canal to the Colorado river. However, the
only practical point at which this can be
done is across the Mexican border. The most
satisfactory way to accomplish this work
would be the purchase OF Lower California,
and it is thought Mexico might be induced
to sell, as the land is Of little value to her.
There are many reasons urged why the pur-
chase should be made, one being that it
would have the effect of giving our Pacific
coast line natural termination, just as
the purchase OF Florida completed the At

of the senate committee will show the COM
plete feasibility OF irrigation, and favor the
acquisition of the peninsula of Lower Cali.

TRACES OF MURDER,
A Grandson of the Victim Arrested for
the Crime.

Grandson of the Victim Arrested fol
the Crime.
FRANKLIN, Ind, October 1O.-Au arrest
was made hers to-day which may lead to
the unravelling OF a Geld. .blooded murde,
that occurred January Is, 1885. At dusk
on that evening the dead but warm body
OF Taylor Ballard was found on the floor
OF the barn on bis farm, six miles north.
east OF this city. There were two bullet
wounds ON the body. One was above the
right eye, and must have caused instant
death. The other was in the right shoulder.
A revolver with two empty cham
bers was found BY the old mans side.
1t was evidently left by the assassin to es.
tablish the theory OF suicide. Lint was
found in the muzzle OF the revolver, and the
W 'und in Ballard's shoulders was ma ie
from the rear. These facts were against
the suicide theory. A reward of $1,000
was offered by the son and two sons-in.law
OF Ballard for the conviction of the assas-
sin. A short time before Ballard was MUIR
dered his wife was found dead in the cistern
under circumstances which led to
the suspicion OF foul play. Several
detectives tried their ingenuity on
the case, but failed. All worked
on the theory that Ballard's murder was
brought about by some person interested
in his estate.
Over year ago a stranger began work
az farm hand in the Ballard neighbor-
hood. It transpires that he was detec-
tive, anu upon evidence secured by him,
James Cutsinger was arrested to-day. Cut
singer is the grandson OF the murdered man
and is the son OF George Cutsinger, ex-
treasurer and commissioner of this county.
1t is said t at other arrests will soon be
made. Cutsinger is in jail and raving like
madmau. Habeas corpus proceedings to
have him released on bond will be begun
tomorrow.

"Rlack Bart Has Left for New Field OF
Operations.

L OpeESttkDuDs
SAN Francisco. Cal. October 8. Wells
Fargo's detectives, and sheriffs who hay'
wide acquaintance with his exploits, declare
that the notorious lone highwaynan
Charles F. Barton, better known as Black
Bart" has gone to China or Australia.
Bart is an incorrigible outlaw, despite his
promises Of reform and the faith shown by
his wife. who now lives in Hannibal. Mo.
His recent confinement OF four years In San
Quentin apparently had no influence in in
ducing him to mend his ways. Within six
months after his.release, in January, 1888,
he was st his old tricks, and since then at
least three robberies are known TO have
been his work. The officers who looked
the cases up are satisfied he robbed the
Ukiah, Shasta and Comptonviiie stages
during the past year. The Compton-
vile robbery was his last exploit.
He then obtained gold bar worth $22,.
900, the properly OF the express company.
This has never been offered for sale as far
as known, and the presumption is that
Bart has too much discretion TO negot tfatea
it in this country. He is believed sto have.
gone either to China or Australia.y The
special officers OF the express company
have lately sent out photographs of the
lone highwayman, with description, and it
is thought this agitation alarmed him and
made him decide to, take q foreign trip for
bis health. Over thirty robberies Of stages
and express boxes, beginning in January,
1875, are attribu'e ed to Bart. but so
shrewd was he that evidence sufficient to
convict was never obtained except in two
Or three cases, when he was finally caught
IN 1883. He pleaded guilty and secured a
sentence OF seven years, which, with credits,
vas cut down to five.

With Him is Dead

The Man He Shot for Refusing to Drink
With Him is Dead.
WASHINGTON, October 1O.-Maurice Ad-
ler, whose life hung by slender thre I'd
since he was shot by Frank Ward, nearly
four months ago, died at q late hour last
night, and soon afterwards Ward was ar
rested and held at the Second precinct
station.house to await the result OF the
ccroner's inquest. Few assaults have
attracted such general interest as
this, which. by Adler's death, be-
comes q homicide. The prominence
in the community of Frank K.
Ward and the singular character OF Adler's
wound, which left him with live and
active brain, and a body dead to all SEN
tation below the neck. made the case in
every way remarkable. The death of
Adler takes the case out OF the hands of
the police court, and the charge OF assault
and battery with intent to kill pending
against Ward there will be nolle pressed.
The case is now in the jurisdiction of the
coroner. Ward will be- detained at the
Second Precinct station until the result OF
the inquest is learned Tomorrow, when be
will be committed to Jail and counsel will
apply to Judge Bradley for the prisoners
release on bail. TIE trial promises to be
one of the most interesting in the court
annals of the district. ~-
Ward shot Adler in teMarble saloon on
Ninth stree on June IS, for refusing to
drink with him. Ward was at one time the
dairy king OF Washington, and earned con-
siderable notoristy by his unique methods
Of advertising. When he opened his dairy
establishment here in 1875 hessnt the keys
OF the place up in balloon to indicate
that the doors would be open at all times.
A little over year ago he sold out his
business and began drinking. He was
drunk when he shot Adler. His defense
will be insanity. ....s7.-

DECISION AFFIRMED.
One of Sparks Opinions Upheld by Mr
Chandler.

One of Sparks Opinions Upheld by Mr
Chandler.
WASHINGTON, D, c., October 1O.-In the
case OF T. R. Brakken vs. A. W. Dunn,
Assistant Secretary Chandler afirms
Sparks decision of May 81, 1888. reject
ing the application OF Rand to make a
timber culture entry OF a section at Grand
Forks, N. D., and awarding the right OF
entry Of said land to Brakken. Dunn made
timber culture entry, covering said tract,
May 81, 1882, but failed to cultivate or
cause to be cultivated or to plant timber
seeds or cuttings on only part OF said tract
after the third year after entry.
In July, 1886, Rand presented a relin.
q ishment OF said entry by Dunn, and
applied to enter the tract under the timber
culture act. The original entry was then
cancelled, but Rand's application to enter
was dismissed and he appealed, filing an
affidavit from Dunn stating that at the
time OF the REIMBURSEMENT he (Dunn) had
no knowledge OF q contest. Judge Chandler
says those seeking to avail themselves OF
the benefit OF the entryman's g act are bound
to take notice thereof and cannot acquire
p preference right of the same on the
ground that they did not know thereof,
and acted in good faith in making the re-
linquishment.
