day:
The recent action OF the receivers OF the Atch-
ison and the Frisco in applying to the court for
authority to terminate contract relations with

for handling its trafic. In investigating
the contract relations between the Atchison
and the Frisco on part and the Atlantic
and Pacific on the other. 1t was found that
by various old agreements the former cor
porations had undertaken not only to make
good all losses In operating the Atlantic and
Pacific. but also to pay various other obliga-
tons OF the latter road including interest on Its
per cent. bonds. These contracts could not he
properly carried out by the receivers OF the two
former corporationswhch now have become in
solvent. The general situation of the various
receivershipss T. believed to be on the whole en-
couraging. When the holders of the various
securities shall have completed their arrange
ment for reorganization of the titles 10 the prop

Many Republicans Don't Want to Be County
CommIt men this Year.

One of the humorous features OF the contest
which will eliminate tonight in the election of
153 members Of the Republican County Com
mittee Tor sG5 is the number Of partisans who
were in former years always anxious to repre-
sent their fellow Repu bicsns on the County Com.
mittce, who are now willing that somebody else
should stand in such representative capacity.
Nowhere Il this better exemplitod than In the
Eleventh Assembly district. IL Il due to the
fact that the constitution OF the county OrgRni-
cation provides TINT no person holding public
place shall be- eligible 10 mem bership. In the
kleyentb the colUred element have always had
ndozen or more candidates for membership In

lcans are on top In State and city. and there are
lot Of cOlored gentlemen in the Eleventh who

Edward Archer, n Former Employee OF the
shernnns, Suspected or the Crime.


JAMESTOWN, n. ", dec. 17.-Edward Archer
IL suspected OF the crime of numbering the
Sherman women near Lakewood. That is the
only tangible theory that the police have to
work on. Archer was employed last summer
by the Shcrmans, and II is said was not very
well liked by his neighbors.
The theory ia that he knew Of the alb
sence of the family at the funeral and
went To the house to steal the money which he,
being familiar with the habits Of the old man.
knew was concealed somewhere about the
premises.
The women had remained behind and recog-
nized him. and to save himself from prison he
killed them. Circumstances to support this
theory are his close resemblance to the descrlp-
ton given by James Smith OF a mysterious in
dividual who was seen Saturday running across
the lots toward jamestown. This man was
also seen by others who corroborated' Mr..
Smiths story.
The police have made dlligent search in the
city for Archer, but have been unable to find
him as yet. 1t is said that he went on a train at
o'clock yesterday morning, although this idea
is based on rumor. The police are confident
that Archer is the man, and are working on
that basis
