THE THIRD AND FOURTH CHARGES.

THE THIRD AND FOURTH CHARGES.
The third count-that he borrowed
SOC, 200 of G.. p. Huntington prior to
the date of his letter to Judge Bates
affixing the value of his estate at $10,-
600, is to be taken as confessed, but
the impression Mr.. Money attempts to
make ON the public mind, namely:
That at first he procured the money.
for Messrs. Wesson and Persons (the
latter, we believe, a relatively, and
subsequently became interested in
the property" is not fully sustained by
the record. The certified copy of the
deed of trust given Huntington, now
before me, shows that j. NJ. Wesson
and j. w. Persons acknowledged it
before Il. G.. Curtis, a justice of the
peace for Lincoln county, Miss, on
the 1st day of April, 1882, and H. ID.
Money did the same thing in the pres
ence of Frank Gait, notary public in
the City of Washington, on the Sth
day of the same month.
In support of the fourth count, | of
fer as evidence certified copy of the
assessment roll of Lincoln county,
which shows that all the property,
real, personal and mixed, included IN
the Huntington trust deed. is valued
at $l5,0S5. If, therefore, 1.-THE prop-
erty under mortgage cannot be

The PiOus Man and His Twin Brother

The twin brothers whose pictures
were in the DAILY HERALD q few
days since, representing Free Trade
and Reciprocity" brings to mind the
fact that Columbia has two men sc
very much alike in appearance that
it is hard for one not very we'll ac-
quainted with them to tell them apart.
But their "build" is quite different
from the "twin brothers," as one OF
, them occupies very religious posi-
tion in our city, while the other is one
of our most prominent stock breed
ers, and is very fond of game chick
ems, of which he has quite nice lot.
While the piOus gentleman was
walking along West Seventh street a
few days since he was accosted by a
little boy who asked, "Say, Mr..
Blank, have you any more good game
roOsters to sell?"
Tie pious man looked at the little
fellow and saw that he was in earn
est, and commenced to tell him how
bad it was for little boys to take such
an interest in game rOOsters; that it
would cause him to get in bad COM
pany, and as he grew older he would
perhaps gamble on their fighting
qualities.
At this part of the conversation the
little fellow showed some signs of
uneasiness and began moving off to
join; a companion of his who came
along about that time, and remarked,
"Who's GATED old Blanks red? i
Struck him for a rooster and he gave
me a yard of Sunday-school talk
"Guess his preacher has caught on
to him." said the companion, "they
have been raisin' sand about here

AGAINST THE l.. i n.

Decision by the Interstate Commerce
Commission on Petroleum Rates.
WASHINGTON, April ia deci-
sion was given out yesterday by Com
missioner Knapp, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in the case
of George Rice against the Louisville
d Nashville, and against the Cincin-
natl, Washington Il Baltimore Com
pany, forming two different routes
from Rice's refinery, at Marietta,
o., to the Pacific coast.
The evidence in the cases shows
that the charges of the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad for the transpor-
tatiOn of petroleum to several points
on their lines are not only apparently
unreasonable in themselves, but the
existing disparity in rates to neigh
boring localities creates presumption
of extOrtiOn in exacting the
higher charges, moreover as between
tank and barrel shipments of petro-
leum this adjustment of rates oper-
ates- to the general advantage of the
former mode OF conveyance. Water
competition to various points on it's
lines may furnish Justification for
rates to intermediate inland points
somewhat higher than the railroad
must accept to participate in business
to the more remote locality favored
with water carriage, but where
charges for the shorter distance on
these lines are three times those for
the longer the disparity is absurd and
inexcusable. The lower figures
must be Vnremunerative or the high
er must be extortionate. This de.
fendant is ordered to revise and COR
rect its charges on petroleum to the
interior and local points ON it's lines
and make such reductions and modi-
-ications therein as will remove the
gross disprOpOrtionate inequalities
now found to exist.

Is MARRIAGE A FAILURE?
Wanted His Death Warrant and a Man

and three sheets in the wind. The gen.

when the happy groom seated his bride
and went to get another drink. Returning
pretty soon he placed a big stick of red
striped candy in the brides hands, which
was apparently greatly appreciated,

pike Commissioners, with County
Court Judge Nelson as an eX-officiC
member. The salary of the Secretary
and Supervisor as fixed by the Court
is $3.50 per annum, the other commits
siOners to receive SO per annum.
The commissioners have closed the
gates on the Pulaski pike and are col
Letting toll for the purpose of making
repairs. The Columbia Central turn
pike has been inspected and the COM
missiOners find that it would not be
advisable to close the gates just at
present,
The bridge across the river at God
win has been declared unsafe by the
turnpike commissioners, and the gates
will be open until the bridge is re-
paired by the Santa Fe Turnpike
Company. This viii probably not be
done until the question is decided by
the court, where it will undoubtedly
be carried, as the turnpike company
claim that it is the province of the
county to repair the bridge, and the
county claims that it is the turnpike's
duty.

it would be advisable to sell the Co
