mains intact. in spite Of the recent heavy
drains upon it by foreign dealers. There Is
a free balance OF $3.50 900 in gold above the
S1O0O0O,OO0 held in reserve for the redemp-
ton of legal tender notes. These figures

VIII Meet Opposition.

The present expectation is that Repre-
sentative Dockery will. after the army ap-
preparation bill is disposed of by the House,
call up the report Of the joint congressional
commission on proposed changes In ac-
counting methods in the Treasury Depart
ment. Involved in these claims are the
abolition of the office of the second con-
troller and the disposition of the services
or large number of clerks and some minor
employees. The report OF the commission
has been severely criticised in many quar-
tiers, and the prospects are that when it Is
called up for consideration ii will give rise
to an interesting and prolonged debate. The
army bill will be disposed OF early in the
present week.

John Roach VS.. Eclipse Lubricating com
pany, which has been on trial here for
two days, came to an abrupt termination
yesterday afternoon, Judge Taylor grant
ing a compulsory non-suit on the ground
that no case had been made out The suit
resulted from the great food and fire
catastrophe in Oil City on June s. 1892, in
which over fifty lives were lost. The
plaintiff in the case lost his entirely fam
lily, and based suit for damages on the
supposed negligence of the defendant
company in leaving a benzine talk not

be undermined by the flood and the ben
zine to spread on the waters, which, when
it exploded, killed his family.

chief the secret service of the AtChison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad company
returned from Scotland county, Mo,
where he had been operating with the
local authorities in the Gorin train rob
berry case.
Kinney says Oyerneld and Abrams are
the only persons wanted for the hold up.
There are two others i'm the conspiracy,
but one gave tup because he became
suspicious of McDauiels, the informant,
and the other a simple minded and harm
less sort Of fellow, who was pursuaded
by McDauiels TO abandon the enterprise.
Kinney denies that McDaniels orig
mated the bold plot He says Abrams
and Overfield approached McDauiels, who
at once sought the advice of A. j. Daggs,
a lawyer of Memphis. Daggs advised
McDaniels to inform the railroad and ex-
press authorities, and the two went to
Chicago and told the story. Then Gen
eral Manager Frey was informed, and the
case was placed in Kinuey's hands.
After the plans of the conspirators had
been formed they elected McDaniels
leader. McDauiels notified Kinney Of this
and Kinney instructed llcDaniels that he
must not be the leader; that il was not
the desire of the railroad or express com
pany TO lead men into the commission Of
crime, and he must put one of the Others
forward. Accordingly McDaniels declined
to act as leader and Abrams was chosen.
Kinney says McDaniels was not prom
isyd g, 900 or any other sum for exposing
the conspiracy He will receive only ex-
penses actually incurred. McDaniels has
been a saloon keeper, deputy sheriff and
