of money for which he had no use, he loaned
it out here and at Dallas at Der cent inter

think it right to charge such high
rate of interest.
He is now about TO set another example

has one of the finest ranches in Texas,
which has more water on it than can be
found on any tract of the same size in the
state. He has surveyor now blocking it
out into tracts of eighty and 100 acres each,

view of having little water on'each tract,
that there is not an eighty acH tract in the

its axis is made of n single piece Of
wood.

in which the oil is brought up. The

Blacker Evidence.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30.-The frauds
recently discovered by customs house
officials in the shipments to the firm of
Neuberger Reiss & Co., were made all
the blacker yesterday when another
consignment was opened. This consign-
ment consisted of four cases invoiced as
''cotton goods" The, firm refused to
make entry for them at the customs
house, and today they were ordered
seized as unclaimed goods and opened.
One of the cases was found properly in
voiced, and was evidently meant to be
sent to the appraisers store for examin-
alton. To do this some attache of the
customs house must be in collusion with
the firm. The other cases contained
$400 worth of woolen goods, silks, cassi-
meres, silk velvets, bengaline and black
satin. They were shipped from Paris.

HouTzDALE, Pa, Sept. S0.-There is

closing of the Dill bank atClearheld and
trouble here with the Houtzdale bank.
The widest rumors are floating
about regarding the latter institution,
though Cashier McGrath is quoted
as stating that the bank will pay dollar
for dollar. Hundreds of miners are
parading the streets or gathering at
street corners, and trouble is feared
every moment with the Huns and Slavs
who had their all in the bank. The
deposits Of the bank at the
time of its suspension were about
500, 900. President Dill says the de-
posiiors Of both institutions will be paid

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30. = Barclay

today II regard Judge Murphy's de-

unlawful attempt to set aside the lawful
Judgment OF Presiding Judge Wallace.
The grand jury has not yet met to dis

decision as If it had not been made. We
will go on"
Other grand jurors expressed SINH
lar opinions, and said no attention
would be paid by the jury to the de-
cision.
Attorney General Hart said "The
grand jury is legal body, and was
legally empaneled in accordance with
the laws OF the state. AS to Judge
Murphy's decision, cannot express an
opinion until have read it,"
On being asked If he would take steps
to have the supreme court rule upon
the validity OF the grand jury's proceed
ings, the encouragement said
"Yes, I have considered such course,
and may act with that object in view at
once. The only way to get the matter
before the supreme conrt is on a writ of
