Oh Yes. Great 10 Gest.

1t would be difficult to conceive of
more sickeDing than the
Unions continued boast of what Mr..
Gest did while in congress compared
with what Mr.. Cable has done so far
When the true facts are presented it will
be found that Nj. Cable will have accom-
plished everything that could be asked or
expected of him. And what he does do
will be attributable to his own efforts,
not those of other citizens sent to insure
the success of the project. Already this is
shown by Mr.. Cables success in obtain
ing half million for Hennepin canal
in the face of the obstacle
Mr. Gest threw in the way of construc.
ton by attempting to divert the course of
the canal so that it would run through
the land OF his friend, Capt. Robinson.
A great hearted public citizen is this Mr.
Gest who has the city's interests so much
at heart that he wants the city to pay
him $4,000 for improving Second avenue
in front of his residence.

buy books, and a. q low price to those
who buy. George H. Kingsbury is the
depository.
The services were opened with a devos
tional meeting leo by Rev. w. S. Mar
Quis, after which President William
Jackson, of the society, took charge of the
meeting. After Secretary George NJ
Loosely read his annual report, Treasurer
George 81. Kingsbury read his annual re-
port. The disbursements for the year
have been 1856 Sc, the cash on hand
now. $40. 46. The value of books on
hand at the commencement of the year
was S5C6.76; purchased since then,
1856 90; total value of books received
into the depository. 1868 CO; books sold,
$l66.45 given to the destitute. $50; do
mated to Sabbath schools. So %; drawn
for distribution among life members of
! the bible society, sc; delivered to branch
societies. S25.3s.
The sermon was preached by Rev. F.
W. Merrell. whose text was taken from

CHICAGO, July II. The report received
here this afternoon from New York, to Lhe
effect that the advisory board of the West

quorum and adjourned till next October.
is regarded as significant The general
feeling may be expressed in the words of Il
prominent official of one of the member
ship lines, who said:
This means that the Western Traffic
association has proven a failure, and that
some of its strongest members do not care
to bother with it any longer. How close
can the action Of the presidents be con-
strued. Several matters of the greatest
Importance were to come before them for
adjustment at this meeting, and yet some
of them deliberately stay away and the
rest vote to adjourn until the date of the
next quarterly meeting. In the mean time
ruinous reductions in Colorado rates will
go into effect and the revenues of the
roads will be cut down to the extent of
millions of dollars. AS a matter of fact
little attempt has been made of late to
enforce the provisions of the presidents

ST. LOUIS, July 12-Much of the time of
various courts here and in the east has
been taken up in the efforts of one East
man, stockholder in the st. Louis and
San francisco railway, to have set aside
the consolidation of that road with the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. Late
tonight Judge Valiant of the Missouri
circuit court sustained the demurrer of the
Frisco line TO the last suit filed by East
man, holding, first, that no stockholder
can object TO the ownership of Frisco
stock by the Atchison until he shows him
self specially aggrieyed; second, that the
right of the Atchison company to own the
stock cannot be questioned in proceeding
brought by ii candidate for director of the
Frisco, and, third, that no court would in
any proceeding turn over the control of a
corporation To a minority of the stock
holders. The decision virtually settles

The negroes separated just before day. A
few We're taken into custody when found

to have been belief on the part of the
negroes that Hos Burgess a negro under
arrest would be lynched, as Charles Hill
was for an assault on Miss Lydia Starr.
Burgess was arrested for robbery, and for
prowling about at night and entering resi-
dences and frightening women. For some
weeks reports have come in almost daily of
women having been awakened by man
reaching in at Il window of their bedrooms
and passing his hand over their faces.
One woman woke to find man disrobing

him as the person committing those
