CHICAGO gas consumers are now assured
by the President of the trust that the in

their grievances shall be righted at once
This must be good news for the consumers,
and it is satisfactory to find a gas company
so ready to admit that its servants were in
the wrong. But it will be interesting to note
the behavior of the officials who had ex-
planned the increase on the score of ex-
tensions and improvements.

the police department. follow upon strictly
civil service lines: and, apart from the
capacity of the appointees, which is un-
questioned, this represents the true princi-
pie for public service. If it could be ap-
piled in all cases the results would soon tell.
Where the hope of promotion is held forth
to men in all grades of public employment
it acts as the best stimulus to faithful and

their three sisters, Poverty, Want and Care,
are doing their work in Russia. These are
irresistible allies, and the present agonies of
that down-trodden and barbarous country
may be the birth throes of a happier state of
existence. If there were ever an excuse and
call for revolution they are to be found in
Russia now, and bloody though the transi-

of brighter day.

that Economies which involve q sacrifice

such things are not economies but e1-

ments against the New York and New
England railroad were made before Judge

the roads claim to register s., ,00O, 600 of the

James H Webb of New Haven, of counsel
for plaintiffs, Nathan F.-~~Goldsmith
and Edward F. Knowlton of Boston, testi-
fed that he passed the greater part of five
weeks in taking the deposition of Secre-
tary Perkins. Mr.. Webb said he examined
fourteen sets of books of various railroad
organizations, which at one time or an
other had contributed to the organization
of the New England railroad. All the
books showed
Marks of Recent Examination
in the pencil footings made. The Boston
and Erie books showed sundries charged
up to construction.
In the books of the Hartford, Provi-
dence and and Fishkill road interest on
moneys borrowed, aggregating $127, 900,
was charged in the construction account.
Charges for purchases of franchises, made
up of stock issued to contractors, placed
in the construction account, aggregating
$16,000,0O0. The company paid $4,000 to
firm of brokers for securing a loan of $780,
600, and then charged the loan to the con-
structiOn account. Legal expenses were
also placed in the same account. This
kind of construction account footed up
about $3O,0O0,000, while be found that
only $5,0O0,0O0 had been expended
In the Construction Proper.
Mr.. Perkins refused to produce the
books of the Boston, Hartford and Erie in
the presence of an expert accountant. The
apparent construction account aggregated
$40, ,000,0 900 with disputed amounts of S30,-
0JO,000. The road from Providence to
Waterbury appeared to have cost 81, ,O00, 900,
but the construction of thirty miles more
of road appears as $35, 100000.
Mr.. Webb said that the cost of the con
structon of the road since 1873 aggregates
about s14, ,0OO. 900, including the equipment
account of S5,OOO0OO. Arguments were
made by counsel and Judge Prentice re-
served his decision.

BOSTON, Oct. 31-In the United States
circuit court Judge Putnam gave hi
decision Saturday afternoon on the de
murrer filed by the defendants in the
Maverick bank cases. All the defend
ants were present with their counsel.
Judge Putnam read his decision. The
indictments against ex-President Potter,
charging him with the illegal certifcation
of checks were sustained, and the demur-
rers filed by the counsel for the defendant
were overruled. No allegation of deliver
ing of the checks by the bank was neces-
sary. The court held valid the counts
charging the illegal certification by Pot
ter, but held invalid those charging him
with aiding and abetting
The decision does not rest on any narrow
grounds. The other indictment against
Potter, charging false entries, is not passed
upon by the court. Dana and French were
discharged from custody.
