The recent decision of Judge Newman,
of the United States court of Northern
Georgia, by which the attempt of tho
Interstate commerce commission to en-
force the long and short haul clause
Ot the interstate commerce act against
certain roads operating lines in the state
of Georgia, was nulliied, was something
OF u surprise TO the commissioners.
As soon as the full decision Of Judge
Newman was received, the commission
took mn appeal to the United States
court of appeals for that district. 1t is
confidently expected that the court at its
October session. will promptly reverse
Judge Newman's judgment.
The section nulliied by the decision
is MS follows
'Sec. 4, That it shall lbe unlawful for
any common carrier subject 10 the pro-
visions of this act 10 charge or receive
any greater compensation Ia the nggre-
gate for the transportation of passengers
or Of Ike Kind OF property, under sub
stnntinlly similar circumstances, and
conditions. for shorter than for long
err distance over the same line, IN the
same direction, the shorter being includ-
ed within the longer distance; but this
shall not he construed as authorizing any
common carrier within the terms of this
act to charge aud receive as great
compensation loT snofltf us iOr u
longer distance. Provided, however,
that upon application to the commission
appointed under the provisions of this
act such common carrier may. IN spe-
cial cases. after investigation by the
commission, be authorized to charge less
for longer than for shorter distances
for the transportation of passengers or of
property, and the commission may from
time TO time prescribe the extent To
which such designated common carrier
may be relieved from the operation of
this section Of this act'

The olneyville Manufacturers bank
demonstrated their recognition of the
distress and suffering which the long
idleness OF the mill help entailed,
by uniting i'm a fund OF $500, which
has been paid over TO Overseer OF the
Poor Cummings. The subscription papers,
signed by the representatives OF the mills
in that district, is as follows:
Regretting the fact that even after
long idleness but a portion OF the mill
help in Olneyville can be put
to work Immediately, and aware
nece ssaries of life, the un-
dersigned mills unite in a fund for relief
OF the destitute. This money will be paid

This money will be devoted to the pur-
chase OF coal and groceries which will be
distributed at the homes OF the needy. The
police of Station six have been enlisted
in the service of visiting the tenements
and ascertaining the cases where char
ity Is most needed. Including the
amount subscribed by the Olneyville
manufacturers, the total sum received by
Mr.. Cummings amounts to si20i.36
besides wagon loads of cloth

full and generous action by the manu-
facturers viii tend to link the appreciation
and condolences OF operatives and en-
ployers in permanent bonds, and
will become potential factor in defer

THE NJ. Y. BANK STATEMENT SHOWS
AN INCREASE THIS WEEK.
The Market Conditions Neither Very
Good Nor Very bad Today-Accident
Mt the Carnegie Works.
Enecial 10 The News.

NEW YORK, Dec pa serious accident
is reported from the new Carnegie mills at
Homestead, early this morning. Several
lives are said TO have been lost.
Chicago brokers say they gre long of
very few stocks nowadays. That is also
the case here.
The treasury net balance is s90,5S9,7i7.
No London market today. Bank statements
viii show couple OF millions
increase. II is customary to have a
Christmas frolic today, but brokers are
as blue as indigo and will probably sing
the funeral march instead. George Gould
said last night, ~ think the underlying
basis of most OF the troubles of Trunk
lines and Western roads is TO be found in
the interstate commerce law. 1t was
this law which put Union Pacific in the
hands of receivers and it had much TO
do with the difficulties under which
Northern Pacific has labored. Other
roads are suffering from the same cause
today"
There is rumor that interest due Jan.
on New England has not yet been pro-
Yided for.
An official states that the Cordage re-
organization Is about completed and that
next week the incorporation
OF the new company will take place
and its directors and officers elected.
The speculative situation of the market
is unchanged. The bears are on top and
are using their advantage to the fullest
extent. The bulls are indisposed to show
any aggressiveness or resist attacks, hence
inroads on values are comparatively easy.
1t is noticeable however that long stocks
are not dislodged to any extent which
clearly evidences the fact that holders do
not believe the pessimistic yarns that are
put into circulation with view of fright
ening them to sell.
An expert figures that II the fire in
surance losses OF this country for the
days of Decasaber keep to
the average that they have up to
this time this year, the insurance |
will in 1893 pay out $50 0O0, 900 |
more than their total income. This is the |
elimination of three bad years in the in
surance business.
