Insists That MIR. Cochran Owed the
Money Represented by the Notes When
They We're Given.
Mr.. Frank l.. Herbert stated this morn.
lug to a representative of THE GAZETTE
that he had nothing to retract from the
statement he had made under oath before
the legislative committee. Regarding the
notes for SCI 900, Mr.. Herbert said his
father went to Mr.. Cochran to get him to
give him note for the sum named but
Mr.. Cochran declined. He then asked Mr..
Cochran to endorse his (Mr. Herbert 81
note, Ia method he employed to hurry IN
tardy payments from ollicers), for licenses
due. Mr.. Herbert stated to Mr.. Cochran that
the State needed the money, with the idea
did not, in reality the note was
placed to his individual credit, and
the money Mr., Cochran paid, in partial
payments, was used to take up the notes.
MIR. Cochran was always late i'll paying
the money over to the State treasurer, but
at his request his account was credited
with having been promptly settled, and as
if the payment had all been made in one
lump as required by law.
Mr.. Herbert states that his father kept
accounts at the Farmers Bank of Dover
and the Farmers Bank of New Castle, in
the latter as an individual deposit.
Mr. Cochran claims he did not owe the
State a cent, but he was indebted to the
State S44,9s252. This money was in his
hands at the time the note was given.
-Four days after the note was given he was
compelled by law to have paid the amount
above, and the note was taken to hurry up
the payment, as we knew it wouldn't be
paid for two or three months afterwards.
The money paid as licenses to the clerk of
the peace is owed the State as soon as it is
paid into the clerks office, even though
the time specified by law for payment has
not arrived.
My father holds note for 81, 900, given
by MIR. Cochran in payment for licenses in
1890, accepted in lieu of cash due June 9Th
1880, he having accepted the notes January
lst 1881, six months after the money was
due. He also owes the State money from
other sources outside of his licenses.'
Before making the statement Mr.. Her.
bert had read the statement of Mr.. Cochran
before the Legislative committee Thursday
He also expresses WEAKNESS of the news
paper controversy but feels that he has
been obliged to reply to the published

The long existing rivalry between the
Pennsylvania and the Reading railroad
systems for supremacy in freight traffic
has again shown itself in the efforts made
by the Reading people to complete a short
but important extension to their tracks
along Front street, Chester, to Marcus
Hook, where the intention is to form a
loop around the oil works. This activity
began when it was discovered that the
Pennsylvania company was making sur
vey on the next parallel street to the river,
to extend its cross-tracks from Lamokin
station in the same direction. The Reading
people on Monday dispatched a large force,
numbering 800 laborers, to lay track and it
is working as fast as it can to intercept the
Pennsylvania project, so that it will be inn
possible for the latter to get to the Hook
without crossing the Reading tracks The
Pennsylyania road has gang of men ut
Thmlow station nightly, watching the
movements Of The Reading laborers. II is
feared here that the Reading people want
to cross the Pennsylvania tracks and to
prevent such an attempt employees of the
latter road are on the watch and locomo-
tives and cars from this city are kept on
the tracks at night.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The war de-
partment has not yet been formally ad-
yised Of the alleged conflict of authority at
Sioux Falls, s. D., between the army Off
GERS and state judicial officials, growing out
of the demand Of the marshal for the sur
render of the two Indians, who are held
by the army officers as the slavers of Lieut.
Casey. The view Of the matter taken at
the department is that no trouble will en-
sue. As the crime was committed outside
of the reservation limits, the department
officers say there can be no question that
the state Judiciary has jurisdiction. The
Indians could not be held as prisoners of
war, and if the army officers have declined
e surrender them to the marshal it is only
because they wish to make sure that the
clilprits are turned over to the proper
authorities.

DuBuouE, Iowa, March 25.-There is now
in the possession of John Deery of this
city rare art treasure. 1t is an oil paint
ing, 5x5 feet, and painted on boards II
was recently found among the debris in
the ruined palace Of the bishops at an
ancient Spanish mission near Santa Re,
N. NJ. Mr. Deery refuses to state how the
painting came in his possession The
scene is evidently one of the II stations of
the cross In the centre is the figure of the
Saviour bearing the cross. Around are
massed a crowd of figures-Roman sol
diers, weeping women and apostles. Prom
inent i'll the left cluster standsSt Veronica,
who is holding the napkin on which is a
faint impression of the Saviour's face.
The conception of the scene is sublime
and the grouping is said by critics to be
entirely original. The coloring is deep
and rich and scarcely faded by time. The
painting is undoubtedly hundreds of years
old and is believed to be one of the old
Italian masters. Mr.. Deery says that the
painting will soon be sent to New York.

The Greenvilie Post-oifice again Robbed
--The Burglar Captured After an Excit-
ing Chase.
The post-oifice at Greenville seems to be
an objective point for burglars.
Yesterday at about 20 minutes past |
O'Clock the burglar alarm connected with
the residence of Assistant Postmaster
George DeGodt rang and he was awakened.
Mr.. DeGodt grabbed his gun and aroused
james Hallesey and Barney McClaiferty,
neighbors. Rushing towards the post
office they saw a man running down the
kennett pike toward Wilmington and tried
TO intercept him. They failed in this and
Hallescy calling on him to halt started
after him, the others following. When
400 yards from the post-ofiice Hallesey
shot from a gun at the burglar, who al
though being wounded in the head kept
running in the direction of the du Pont
powder works. Hallesey soon caught the
man and threw him to the ground and
with the assistance of DeGodt and Nc
llatferty bound him with rope and
brought him to the police station.
The burglar had secured a clock, small
pair of scales, a number of letters, guam
tity of clothing and other articles, and did
not drop his load until captured. He gave
the name of Thomas b. Norcross and this
morning was given a hearing before
United States Commissioner S. Redmond
Smith.
After the witnesses had detailed the cir
cumstances of the case Norcross was held
IN ~ 900 bail for trial at the April term of
the United States district court. Being un-
able to give the required security he was
committed to New Castle Jail.

tions and cruelty and ultimate desertfon
and alleged bigamy.

Hicks street, Philadelphia, with her two
children. About two years ago WATSON

so. There is one child from the second

tive council completed the annual assess
ments of Iowa railroad property yesterday.
The total raised from s42, 85s, 500 last year
to s44, 556,5l7. The increase as made
will be generally satisfactory. A few
Alliance men had insisted that it
should be made S100,OO0,000 but this
proposition has not met with any great
favor. The railroads have generally fought
any increase at all. With few changes on
small branch roads the total increase in
the assessments amounts to Sl.697,62I, of
which more than one millionis on the over
one thousand miles Of road Of the Chicago

DETROIT Mich, March 25.-The whip Of
discipline is being cracked over the heads
of the students of the Michigan Military
Academy at Orchard Lake. The boys at
the institution are mostly of the very best
families Of the state. of late there has
been distinct mutinous tendency among
many of those young men and the rules
Of the college have been rather recklessly
ignored. This tendency eliminated on
Washington's birthday, when all the stu
dents refused to attend studies. The au-
thorities were slow in taking action on
the matter but the mills have finally
ground out the sentence.
T. II. Hollowell, senior captain of Com
pany A. is expelled; all commissioned off
GERS are placed on probation, reduced to
the ranks and ordered to keep their quar-
tiers for the remainder of the year. The
crack company is abolished and the Easter
holidays arc dispensed with The sentence
is particularly hard on young Hollowell,
who only had three months more to study
in order to graduate.

associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
RACINE, WIS, March 25.-Jackson /.
Case, son of j. |. Case and candidate for
mayor, had sensational encounter with
ex-Mayor Secor on Main street last night.
Case asserted that he had traced the
authorship of scandalous stories affecting
his character to Secor Meeting him on
Main street he stepped in front of Secor
and charged him with having started the
stories. This the ex-mayor denied. The
charge was repeated and again denied
angrily.
BY this time large crowd had gathered
which did not serve to cool the temper of
the two men. Finally the wordy war was
brought to an abrupt conclusion by Case
striking Secor a heavy blow in the chest,
staggering him back into the crowd. As
soon as Secor could gather himself up he
started on run down the street with Case
in hot pursuit. The latter being younger
and more active soon caught the ex-mayor
and added one or two more blows to that
already given. Secor however, managed
to shake off his antagonist and escape. A
warrant will be probably sworn out.
