RAILROAD AFFAIRS.
The Pacific Mail Comedies the Subsidy TO
the Panama Railroad.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-The Tribune says
The executive committees of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and of the
Panama Railroad have reached an agree
ment which substantially assures tie con-
tinuance of their friendly relations. The
two companies have been working together
under fifteen years. contract, which closes
In February. 1898. Negotiations have been
pending for several days for a renewal of
the contract, but on Monday it was an
nounced that a serious hitch had arisen,
which might lead to a sharp quarrel be-
tween the two companies. To-day. how
ever, compromise was reached. Under
the new contract the steamship company
will continue to pay the railroad 500, 900 a
month Tor transportation facilities across
the lSthmus.
/. The disputed point respecting the Central
American and Mexico business of the Pa
ciic Mail was settled as follows: IF the
business shall in the future exceed the
average for the last five years the Panama
Railroad shall receive one-third of the gross
earnings"
The foregoing statement is made on the
authority of Edward Lauterbach, the attor-
ney Of the Pacific Mail Company, who
added that there are several minor points
on which concessions are made by the rail-
road 10 the steamship company. The life
OF the contract has not yet been fully deter
mined. 1t cannot exceed the tenure Of Office
OF the French liqudator of the Panama
canal, but 1t may last for several years. The
contract was adopted. which awaits only
the ratification of the directors of the
Panama road. A meeting of these directors
VIII be called in sav or two, when there is
little doubt that the instrument will be APP
proved. a confirmation from the authOri-
ties OF the Panama Canal Company is ex-
pected to be obtained by cable.
Representatives of Mexican railroads, in
cluding the Mexican National Mexican
Central, Monterey and Mexican Gulf, Mexi-
can International and Old Mexico and
1nteroceanic railroads, held a meeting to-
day at the Ward steamship office. and de-
clded to put into effect uniform increased
freight rates between the United States and
Mexico.
TRENTON, n. j., Aug. 30.-Goveruor Abb
bett said to-day, in reply TO a question con-
eerning calling a special session of the Leg
lslature to take action against the coal com-
bne, that no definite action had yet been
taken, bat that if the company continued
to defy injunetions the Legislature would
probably he rec0nyened. The Attorney
General Is now preparing TO bring snit

WASHINGTON. Aug. 30.-Assistant Secre-

Judge Crounse said to THE CALL CORE
spondent: "The outlook in Nebraska, from
3 Republican standpoint. is excellent. The
Republicans never were more in earnest,
and the campaign is being entered upon
with determination TO win. Two years
ago, owing to two successive failures of
crops, something unprecedented in the
State, and the consequent feeling of dis
content, Nebraska fell largely into the ALI
ance movement again. Prohibition and
aDti-Prohibition entered so largely into the
campaign that it swallowed up, in great
degree those issues upon which the two old
parties were divided.
Nebraska, which has always been so
strongly Republican, is to-day misrepre-
sented in Congress. and the Republicans are
received to set the State right The Alli-
ance party is making no new accessiOns.
On the contrary, many of that party are re-
turning to the Republican fold and some
have been participating in the late Repu6-
lican caucpses and conventions Again the
conditions are changed; instead of two
failures OF crops two excellent ones have
taken their place. The prospect for full
cribs and granarles was never. better tnan
tins year, and our people are happy. The
party Is being thoroughly organized, aud
more and better campaign work will be
done this year than ever before. You may

to Break jail

to Break jail
JACKSON, Mich, Aug 30.-Edward Hunt
ley. Detroit burglar. under a thirty-year
sentence, John Davis. five-year Kalama-
zoo burglar, and Lige Bullard, Detroit
criminal. attempted to escape from the
penitentiary this morning by climbing the
prison walls. HuntIey and Davis were
fatally shot and all were reeaptured.
The attempt was made at O'Clock and
was timed to the best advantage. Huntley
and Bullard got out in the first square, and
Davis fifteen minutes later. In some way
the convicts had secreted long ladder near
the southwest corner, just inside the wall
Keeper Chase saw Uuntley and Bulard
leave the shop. and instantly followed them.
They ran swiftly to the south corner, where
Davis joined them. The three convicts nut
the ladder up against the wall, Davis run
nlng to the top. Ire had his hand filed with
stones, which he threw at the guard on the
wall as he advanced, and at the other who
followed inside the yard.
The guard fired three times at the men,
but missed. dis gun then failed 10 go off.
The other convicts now mounted beside
Davis ON the wall. Seeing that the guards
gun had failed to 20 off they stormed the
guardhOuse, inside of which Guard Clark
was, and attempted to batter down the door
10 secure his gun, Huntley carried board
shield, four feet long and iron-covered,
which he held in front of him to protect him
from the bullets and rocks which were
directed toward him.
Seeing all three of the guards coming he
jump down outside the wall and started
To run. Clark had put new cartridges in
his gun and resumed firing. He struck
Huntey twice. one ball entering the right
side under the hip, aud another down in the
leg. Guard Freeman came up at this june
ture and brought Davis down with bali in
his left hip, which shattered the bone
causing Davis TO fall from the wall. Bullard
then threw up his hands, and was hand
cuffed and brought In.

THE BORDEN MYSTERY.
No Traces Of Poison il the Bodies of the

Murdered Coupe.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 20. - There
were many surprises in the Borden hearing
to-day. not the least among them being
Professor +. ). Woods testimony. 1t was
the popular belief that he would show some
traces of poison in the stomachs of the mur-
dered people and that he would also pro-
duce Misunderstanding ship-carpenter's
ak, having blade from five TO seven inches
In length. On the contrary, he pulled out
an lnnOceDt-lOokiBg hatchet, but firmly told
the court that he could not find the slightest
trace OF blood upon il, nor was it allowed
that such an instrument in the hands of q
woman could inflict such ghasily wounds.
lie Also demolished the pruSSic acid and
other poisoning theories, and the crowds in
the courtroom wondered what was coming
GeXt. Professor Wood looked for traces Of
all Kinds Of polsons, and his failure 10 find
them added much weight 70 Miss LizZie's
strong denials That she ever was in Smiths
drugstore.
The Government has already established
the fact that Lizzie was In the hallway
leading into Mrs. B0rden's room at 10 80
O'Clock, and she has not been able yet to
prove that she WAS not in the house between
9:15 and IL 10 o'clock, when both murders
occurred. The Government does not dis
guise its pleasure at the positive statement
abOnt the time made by Professor Wood,
which was uushaken when the crOss-ex-
animation was concluded. John Dintle's
testimony regarding the possibility of a
man going over the back fence after having
committed the murders without being seen,
drives another contradictory nail into the
defendant theory that some one escaped
undecided that way.

day to the general public was that given by

left his home in the evening except to at
