The report made by the trustees of the

chicago Railway Company shows that the
regular annual payment OF Sl04,l was
made thereto. They redeemed during the

also added to the sinking funds provided
for the redemption Of the existing mort
cages Of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Rail
road Company, in addition to the amounts
contributed directly to other sinking funds
by the individual companies.
The earnings of the Grand Rapids and In
diana Railroad Company, owing to a reduc-
tion in rates, were not quite sufficient to
meet the interest on its entire funded debt
and the losses on its leased lines. The land
department made sales of S,5l5 acres of
farm lands and 5,981 acres of pine lands for
567,OS3.23, being an average price of $3.50. ~
per acre. The amount sold to the close of
the year, after deducting cancelled con-
tracts, was 1856, ,S27 acres, and the aggregate
price received therefor was $6,533, 730.77,
an average of S13.42 per acre. No bonds
could be purchased by the trustees during
the year out of the proceeds of such land
sales, and there are now outstanding
1884 900 of the guaranteed and $505, 900 oi

The Latest News From the Belmont and
Eureka Section.
% Me Sunday Register.

SpeciaI Telegram TO The Sunday Register.
BELMONT, w. VA, May l0.-All is agog
in the Belmont and Eureka section. The
riches of the field are fast being shown up,
and the "oilers' feel that their most san
guine expectations are being realized. The
amount of miscellaneous building going on
at Eureka, and the elaborate preparations
being made for further opening OF the oil
territory, is proof that more than few
have pinned their faith on the field. The
frame of the new hotel at Eureka is up and
boarded, the big Standard Oil tank is near
ly ready for receiving oil, several new
houses have gone up in the past two weeks
and Mr.. c.. +. Marston, of Bradford, Pa,
has a general store and restaurant well
under way. The ground near the railroad
is covered with rig and well furnishings,
all of which is to be handled by firm to
deal in these supplies.
The Bob Reed well, owned by Story
and Samuels, came in, though slightly,
night before last. Another shallow well is
being drilled on the Core farm. There is
some excitement over the Ed Hammett No.
6. which began to show signs of life yester-
day. She will be drilled in tonight. The
Cochran No. II and the Rus Hammett No.
are expected in tomorrow The South
Penn Co. started new well yesterday on
the Rus Hammett property, and Moore and
Barnesdale are working new one on the
same land.
At Belmont. perhaps, there are more
glowing anticipations to the square inch.
The people had hardly recovered from the
shock of the Two Brothers strike, when
the Johnson No. 1 bobbed up serenely. The
former is holding her 250 barrels a day,
while Johnson's well is making pull of
600. according TO accurate measurement.
She started with 720 and has been in just
a week tomorrow. She has not been agi-
tated as vet, and further drilling is sus-
pended for while. The Boyle well No. .,
on the poor farm, is showing up well. She
is now 10 or IL feet in the sand, and is eX-
pected in shortly There are now three
wells producing in the Belmont section.
Some four or five new wells are expected
in within a week The George Bos well
near the hotel, now down 1000 feet, met
with quite misfortune yesterday IN the
dropping of the casing, and protracted
fishing Job is expected. The Belmont sec
ton is a comparatively easy field for a
visitor to inspect, on account of its COM
pactness, SOME Il or - of the wells being
included within the space of perhaps 10
acres. There have been many operators in
town the past week from distant fields.
William johnson, the pioneer operator,
put in the day yesterday in Pittsburg on
business.
The Bills well at ST. Marys is turning
out or barrels day, and a new rig Is
TO be put up about 1000 yards from the Bills
well. The Campbell No. l on the Kelley
farm. will begin to drill in day or two.
and new rig will soon 90 up on the Rey-
nolds property, on Middle Island. There
has been large number of leases taken at
st. Marys during the past u days.

Special telegram 10 the Sunday Register.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, May 10.-The
people of Hinton are still very much
excited over the clash between the
State and the United States officials
which occurred there. The State offi-
GERS give a somewhat different account
of the affair from that given yesterday
by tho Marshal. They say the Deputy
Marshal arrested two important wit
nesses in a trial for attempt TO Kill
which was then in progress, and
attempted to take them TO Charles
ton. The sheriff secured his witnesses
took them back to the Court House.
Later L. $. Marshal White arrived in
the city, armed with warrant for the
arrest of the Sheriff and Deputy, when
he proceeded TO execute, taking the
Sheriff away from the charge OF the
Jury, then trying the felony case. As
soon as Judge Campbell was notified,
he Immediately opened court, and had
warrant issued for the apprehension OF
Marshal White. The Sheriff hastily
summoned a posse and arrested White
on the train. Here was very strange
complication, Kessler has White un-
der arrest, and White had Kessler In
the same fix. Finally the Sheriff yield
ed. the train pulled out at once, and the
Sheriff and Deputy were taken to
Charleston. The case has caused great
excitement, and the outcome of it IS
watched with great interest.

MANNINGToN, w. VA, May 10.-A
remarkable land conflict is in progress
on Fishing Creek, Wetzel county. Mrs.
L. G. Robinson, of this place, is the
owner of some 5000 acres of land
in that section. She has had
thousands of feet of timber cut
off it, and made extensive improve
mentS. A large number of squatters
have settled on the land at various
times, and they have given the owner
much trouble. Recently Mrs. Robin
Soa built some houses and rented them
to tenants. The SquatterS have OBJ
jected to this, and threatened 10 eXpel
the renters. On Wednesday last mob
of nearly one hundred men gathered al
one of Mrs. RobinSOn'S houses and be-
gan TO threaten the inmates, n widow,
with her family.
Sheriff Wyatt, of WetZel county, was
hastily summoned, and commanded the
peace. The mob paid no attention to
him. They drove the family out Of the
house and then tore it to pieces, after
which they fired the ruins. One Dye is
said TO have been the leader Of the
Squatters. The affair has created in
tense excitement in that section. The
members of the mob are known, and
warrants are out for their arrest,
though there may trouble in serving
them.

SLOW JUSTICE
DONE THE OLD PATHFINDER.
Remarkable Instance Of InCapaCity and
Neglect
IN THE TREATMENT OF FREMONT
A Debt Of $4,000 Against Him Changed
to a Credit Of $4,000.

New YORK, May 1O.-A Washington
special says: A most curious incident,
illustrative of delay in correcting official
mistakes in the departments at Wash
ington, has just come to light as
sequence of the passage OF the Dill
placing John c. Fremont upon the re-
tired list of the army, with the rank OF
Major-General. The first Republican
candidate for the Presidency is most
picturesque patriarch, seventy-one years
old, and has been for years in circum-
stances, if not of actual poverty, at
least Strengthened. In 1S4S, when a
lieutenant in the army, he seized and
held with an iron grip the region which
is now the State of California, and no
one denies that the nation is indebted
TO him for that golden member OF the
sisterhood. While engaged in this
service, Lieut.. Fremont's accounts with
the government were left in such state
that he has always been regarded as an
official debtor to the government TO the
amount of $4,000, and it has
been one of the chief sorrows
of General Fremont's later years
that he was unable to square this bal
ance against him, the record OF which
was in the office of the Third Auditor of
the Treasury. The other day Gen. Ere
mont called at the Office OF Second
Comptroller Gilkerson of the Treasury,
whose business it would be to pass upon
the balance against him. The old man,
in trembling tones, stated TO Col Gilker-
son that his financial circumstances are
such that if his salary as retired
Major-General was retained until this
alleged shortage was paid he
would be for some time in actual
want. At his request the Second
comptroller investigated the accounts,
and greatly TO his surprise discovered
that instead of General Fremont being
debtor to the United States, the gov
ernment had actually owed him for over
forty years S91 900. The records were
perfectly clear, and it was proven be-
yond dispute that through mistake in
bookkeeping, Lieutenant Fremont had
been charged with $1,000 for which a
voucher was on file. and that by another
clerical error he had not been credited
with a voucher for s21, 900 which he had
.eXDended
