The Nesgle Case.
Since David Neagle the slayer of
David S. Terry was so hurriedly
brought from the Stockton Jail on
writ Of habeas corpus issued by the
United States Circuit Court. he has
been confined in the Jail at San
Francisco. He was offered bail, but
said he preferred to remain behind
the bars until finally acquitted.
The Circuit Court has not yet de-
cided whether it will claim jurisdic-
ton over the case, but has, never
theless, proceeded with the examin-
alton of Neagle. Justice Field,
Neagle and numerous witnesses have
testified as to the shooting, their
stories not materially differing from
what have been told before. Neagle
was on the stand for an entire day
telling the story of his turbulent and
adventurous life. It is generally
believed that on no account will the
federal courts permit Neagle to re-
turn to Stockton.
The charge of murder which was
brought by Sarah Althea against
Field has been dismissed.
The Sharon case will shortly
be dismissed in the Supreme Court.
Letters of administration on
Terry's estate have been issued.
British Capital and Trusts.

pany of Scranton, Pa, has issued

dollars is reported to be at the dis

of New York have formed a trust. |
They virtually control the market
and prices have already advanced.
The First National Bank of New
York has been charged with an at
tempt to corner all the United States
bonds offered for months, and thus
compel the Secretary of the
Treasury who is still buying bonds
in the open market, to put up the
price. If such a scheme ever existed,
it failed as the government has
bought not less than $20,000,000
worth of bonds at its own figures
Turing the past month.
